I didn't say that he was coming from a place of bigotry, in fact I said that he almost certainly wasn't. This isn't a technicality, it is explicit in the text of my comment. What I did was ask a question, which he never answe

I didn't "connect what you wrote with anti-semitism." I asked if you can understand how something you said could make some people uneasy because it resembles a narrative frequently used to malign them. You "just.."

Does anybody know where Siri gets its local search results from? The independent version of the app has been pulled from the App Store, and the only "answers" I can find to my question online are low quality. If they somehow manage to produ
