i'd assume they're just following a general policy of having somebody in their legal department respond with a rebuttal for every single claim that comes in. on balance, it probably saves them money over having somebody with deci

why though? building good cycling infrastructure at grade just isn't that difficult, other than finding the political will to make it happen. it doesn't take up a lot of space, it's cheap, and when it's at grade it prov

yes, exactly: the argument for smartphones was obvious: "i want to take this app that i use on my computer, and take it everywhere with me in my pocket". that same argument doesn't exist for these new AI devices. there&#x27
