Wasn't ChatGPT already doing searches for you when relevant? For example if you asked for recent news? I can't get it to do it again for some reason it will share month old publications right now.

While I'm sure Apple worries about the safety of their executives - the main reason is probably they just want to keep the access to the Chinese market. As factories move away from China, the government has less and less reasons to let

The scammers seem so talented, I wonder how good they would do in a legitimate career in sales. If you can convince people to hand over 50k$ in cash to an unknown man in a car - what can't you sell?

Realistically, all complaints from the flyer went to first level customer service agents which are only told to enforce the policy as is. This probably did not get escalated.

Indeed I don't feel like I see many overweight people over 70 - but it might just be related to where I live. Or older people might just eat less.

The article was interesting, too bad it did not deep dive a bit into Asian chocolate. So far I've been mostly disappointed when buying chocolate in China and Vietnam (not much taste, not sugary enough for my taste) but I quite liked so

I have memories at my post grad school where any deviations from the expected code source formatting led to a -1 on the mark. On the first few projects it was not rare to see students getting marks well into two or three digits negatives.

Large companies which have monopolies or near monopolies (Google with Youtube for example) will unfortunately likely go this way as they can get away with bullying users a lot before they are in any danger of losing market share.
