Thus far Trumps White House has proven that the judiciary can "object" all they want, but unless they are prepared to force them to not do something some how, then the objection is meaningless.

Man, Jay-Z has some skinny legs.

This whole thing is a textbook example of how bad shady marketing today and can really cause you a lot of pain tomorrow. If Apple had not been so quick to let PR write checks their ass was not ready to cash the conversation around Siri would still just be the casual jokes about it sucking, and not more serious public blackeyes.

I wonder if she knew he was actively supporting the politics of people that hate her.

As someone in and from the US, good. Private companies are far to prevalent in public institutions all over the world. Something as basic and fundamental as word processing should not be controlled by a small select few huge international companies.

Putting the guy that hasn't been at the head of a profitable business in his entire life in a position to influence the US economy was a really really bad idea, twice? Shocking.

Despite his daughter’s death, the father stated, “Everybody has to die.”

Jesus, I can't imagine being so into cult beliefs that I would have that attitude about my own kids, and actively work to make it happen sooner to boot.

I mean sure, we all will die, but it goes against the most basic biological imperative of all living things to make sure their kids outlive them. Must be some strong Koolaid. Dude needs to fuck off with that Jonestown-isque mindset.

Sounds like another way of saying "there actually isn't a profitable business in this."

But since we live in crazy world, once he gets his exemption to copyright laws for AI, someone needs to come up with a good self hosted AI toolset that makes it legal for the average person to pirate stuff at scale as well.

No, I don't think that is where the cuts will be. But it should be.

It would hurt badly at the beginning, but it would be better in the long run if Mozilla were to lose that Google search payment. Take some of the financial hit out of the c-suite comp package. Let those more interested in tech industry CEO money go work for the likes of Google, etc. Mozilla should be looking to attract someone whose singular motivation is not money.

Get the ring to Mordor Mr. Frodo.

 

As if those AI overviews weren't already useless enough.

 

It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.

It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

 

Well, at least they aren't outright throwing the functionality in the trash.

 

I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.
