It was Obama. Bernie was going to win. Obama called up Buttigieg and Klobuchar and told them to drop out in order to consolidate the non-Bernie vote around Biden. They did as they were asked.
I knew I wasn’t crazy for holding off on EVs. I always said I want a car that claims to get 400-500 miles of range, because only then might I stand a chance to actually get the advertised 250-300.
I have a PHEV and I’ll stick with it for some time to come. Batteries are improving and there are some different materials that will hit the market in the next couple of years - including lithium with a silicon anode, which will drop charge times to 5-10 minutes and give 20% more capacity in the same size battery as a graphite anode.
There are multiple “consulting” agencies in the US that have gotten in trouble for not hiring anyone aside from south Asians. If this job was posted by someone in India, there is probably a non-zero chance they were hiring this “white” only person because they were trying to offset the fact that they only hire south Asians otherwise.
This country is so ugly. I remember taking my first road trip and realizing America is largely just a freeway exit with a gas station, McDonalds, and several big box stores, all with parking lots large enough to host dozens of football matches.
They’re killing the furniture industry! Their habit for laying in bed is reducing the demand for things like dining room chairs, recliners, couches, and sofas.
The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....
Pope Francis has paved the way for the canonization of the first saint of the millennial generation, attributing a second miracle to a 15-year-old Italian computer whiz who died of leukemia in 2006.
It’s pretty simple. Google was using the monopoly in ways that benefit some businesses. Rather than charging everyone the same commission rates, they were caught excusing some businesses from those rates.
Apple on the other hand enforces their commission equally on everyone.
It’s easier to argue that you’re operating a monopoly harmful to competition when you’re using your position to pick and choose winners.
Could you link a source? If there are any commission reductions; it’s spelled out in policy and applies equally to all app developers of that type.
Google had secret back room deals for some developers that weren’t following the policy other app developers were subjected to. If you can find an example of Apple having secret back room deals that cut some developers a break and not others, I’d be interested to see it.
We shouldn’t have attacked Iraq or Afghanistan. The premise for the war in Iraq was that Saddam was harboring weapons of mass destruction. That was a flat out lie. The Iraq war and the power vacuum it created led to the creation of ISIS.
Afghanistan had elements of Al-Qaeda present. The Taliban tolerated them. We should have hunted bin Laden there and hit Al-Qaeda where we could find them, but toppling the government was mostly useless and we ended up needing to get the hell out of there after spending $2 trillion dollars, only to have the Taliban return.
Should we have attacked Saudi Arabia though? Absolutely. We should have actually done regime change there and maybe even helped ourselves to the oil revenues to cover the costs of 9/11 and our military. Our presence would’ve also helped modernize their medieval society in ways beneficial to the Middle East.
This was predictable. Everyone has a phone. Phones have CarPlay and Android Auto.
The fact that they named it “Car Thing” made it clear that it didn’t have much of a valid use and that they didn’t really have a lot of confidence in it.
It’s annoying that they even created it in the first place. It’s more annoying that they now predictably are not supporting it anymore. It should be illegal.
