Trump DID in fact have an executive order in place that capped the price of insulin and EpiPens when he left, which Biden immediately froze on his first day in office.

So Trump isn’t wrong then when he says Biden is taking credit for something he already did, is he.

MacNCheezus,

Yes, it’s possible that Biden improved on Trump’s solution by making it an actual law rather than an EO.

Either way, this is really just political posturing from both sides. Both of them are exaggerating their own achievements in order to dunk on their opponent when in reality, each of them just made incremental improvements.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

A lot of people here seem to be missing the nuance.

You don’t say…

It’s not that it hasn’t gotten better, but that the entire infrastructure that’s underpinning the GUI is simply completely different than what people are used to. And I’m not just talking CLI here, because the average Windows user likely doesn’t use that to begin with – it’s things like filesystem organization, software management, driver installation, configuration files, etc.

And it’s not that these barriers are insurmountable either, but they DO require a significant amount of cognitive effort that not everyone is willing to put in.

Have you heard of WSL?

Anything more complicated than a static website is going to have a significant amount of server-side code.

Also, the article explains that it’s not just the website, but ALL of their repos, which would include their smartphone apps, backend tools, etc.

I suppose, but the ketchup is a big part of the criminal element here. I just can’t imagine that playing well with the seaweed.

Also, I looked it up and apparently in order to make Musubi, the spam is fried in Teriyaki sauce, which, being soy sauce based, probably goes a lot better with nori.

With minimalist food like sushi, which basically lives off just a handful of high quality ingredients working together extremely well, even a tiny mistake like the wrong condiment can make or break the dish.

Spicy mayo sounds like an interesting play here. That (and the pickle spear) might already be enough to turn it around.

I’ve met plenty of homeless people who have refused even perfectly edible food (like a sandwich from Starbucks) because they only wanted money to buy alcohol or drugs but I still make it a point to at least offer buying them something to eat or drink just in case.

Also, while this group might feel a bit iffy from that perspective, it isn’t intended to encourage food waste. Personally, all the pictures I post are recycled from somewhere else on the Internet, so if any of the food was wasted, it’s already too late to do something about it and we might at least get a laugh out of it.

Didn’t try to find it on their homepage, I just googled the link.

Also, I see at least ONE movie I can relate to, and 3 or 4 I haven’t watched but would probably enjoy.

Why would plain yogurt be useless in smoothies? Isn’t flavoring it with any fruit you put in the whole point?

Also, why do you hate yourself?

You know, most people would likely solve that problem by throwing in some extra honey or agave nectar, but you do you.

Appreciate your concern but obviously this is not me.

That sounds like at least luxury homelessness to me

Actually, you’d be surprised. Instacart has up-to-date price and product data for TONS of grocery stores. And while their API likely isn’t public, they MUST have one in order for their smartphone apps to work.

That’s impressive, and honestly looks like it was quite a bit of work. I wonder how the author finances himself? There doesn’t even seem to be a donation button on the site. I found a lengthy article on Wired but it doesn’t appear to mention how he can afford to do all of this for free.

It’s open source. Nothing except greed is stopping them from providing something like this.

Nothing is stopping anyone from doing this except the amount of work it takes to write and maintain all those data import scripts. I think greed is the wrong word here. It’s not unreasonable to expect some sort of monetary reward for providing a useful public service that actually helps people save money. Everyone’s gotta eat, right?

Instacart has prices for all of these stores and more. Obviously they’re not updating them by hand…

You have to understand that normal people have no idea what the difference is, nor do they care. To them, AI is just a term that loosely describes “computer does magic that appears somewhat intelligent”. This type of person would just as likely consider Google Maps to be AI as it would ChatGPT, Alexa, or Siri.
