The joy with advancements like this is that they don't have to be the one to utilize it, if it proves to be a feasible option then maybe they can just license it to NASA who can then be the ones to actually use it.

Maybe you didn't hear, but Internet Explorer was sent to live on a farm upstate.

There's almost nothing I hate worse than UI packers, minification, obfuscation and WebAssembly. Every last bit of it is unmaintainable garbage.

I love the apple watch part of it. Nice driving and walking and not having to pay attention to the phone.

Coming right after the launch of Apple Car.

>Canada has socilized health care, yet is doing so great...that it incentivizes euthanasia.

Because conservatives have been stripping away their healthcare funding in Canada...

>The E.U isn't much better, sure they got the usb 3.0 thing out of apple, that doesn't mean they are some enlightened state of authority.

The EU is actually much better than both American and Canada.

>The arrest people for saying mean things on social media ffs.

When did the EU do this?

>No one country is perfect, it's all about the pro's and con's and if america had more cons than pro's people would be leaving it and moving to EU, moving to mexico, moving to canada....but they aren't are they?

Because Americans can't afford to leave... LOL

I thought lobbyists wrote all the laws.

The only reason why you may not have been able to change is to a different provider is because local township; state county; private community; etc. have contracts.

However, because the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) defines Comcast & Charter Communications as Cable providers vs. AT&T and Verizon as Telephone, when your Telephone provider upgrades their network to Fiber, you have the legal right to change switch all services to your telephone provider.

Republicans made it legal for corporations to write this legislation on the behalf of politicians. There's no chance in hell that this is changing any time soon. Just an fyi.

True, but why spend money to develop and support this when you get $15 billion from Google? Seems a little bit of a stretch unless Apple has something even larger planned here.

Again, it's not that my work is more real or more important. It is more demanding on hardware and means of input than 99% of others' work. It is not possible to perform a large part of it on a normal computer, even less on a Mac. I have to have a stylus. And since Macs don't provide any of those modern means of input, they are in the same league like Chromebooks or a Switch. Unworkable. And that is not pro, and not premium, and certainly not even good.

I wish it was so simple, but it's impossible to do my work on a Mac. I can do it halfway, I can probably do parts on an iPad, but it's all just... substandard, since an iPad is not a real machine. I would die in shame if I had to present a half-done project because I had to do it in an Apple environment.

And that generalized nationalistic bullshit, you can stick that up your ass.

And that pedestral? Hard to step down if you're called up over and over. I hate suits and I hate galas and award ceremonies, I'm just good at shitting on others' work and making them do better. And I have the knowledge, the experience, the guts and the equipment to do some things accurately and down to spec on a whim.

What do you contribute to this world, kid? With your Mac that you're so proud of?

Ill believe in when I see it. This and a folding iPhone.

Apple Maps is actually pretty good now

Apple AI capabilities suck and are a huge risk to the business.

Oh, boy. Just what I need - another fucking walled garden by Apple.

Adam just sounds sad that a computer can do his job with the assistance of a human fact checker.

I think that’s the point. It’s meant to be a demonstration of their capabilities, basically an advertisement, to entice companies to buy their AI products. It’s not a product in its own. Corporations are pretty much always careful to keep their ads inoffensive. Especially when AI chat bots have a history of being taken down within a matter of days when they go off the rails.

I hate this quote so much because it is always used out of context as a smear. Often it is twisted to imply something completely different, like you did here. The pronouns are the key to the quote. Speaker Pelosi was criticising the media for being purposefully deceitful.

The point was the negatives were screamed with a megaphone ad nauseam, but nobody talked about the potential good. Therefore "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

I went to a Stallman presentation on a local university and I remember he saying something like what I said, this was 12 years ago, so maybe he changed his mind since then with the new trends imposed by the big tech companies.

Do you remember any good article by them? I also remember reading one from the FSF about how websites are not "free" anymore with the raise in popularity of the js/css bundlers that makes frontend code unreadable

There's a market for that now and it's rapidly shrinking. Once it's gone, it's gone. Our parents are the last generation that won't understand this stuff, I think.

Not quite. Stallman and FSF have written tons of things about the lack of freedom in hardware.

The challenge with making it encrypted was data loss/recovery — customer often lose data (by deleting it) and expect apple to recover it.

In those states John Deere will block it.
