President’s discretion is in addition to the specifically listed companies, which is TikTok. Don’t think it can be removed, only added to.

It doesn’t matter because it is still ultimately controlled by the CCP.

Makes sense. That’s why it (and TikTok and many others) are banned in China.

Agreed. I used to go on Twitter almost exclusively for his content. Now I have him blocked. What an embarrassing fall from grace all in search of the next like and follower. Addiction to engagement claims another one. Society is materiall

Better followers are those that will buy what you peddle, right? You’re a sell out. At least at Amazon you created real value.

I had followed him for years and recently stopped (and even blocked) because he’s become a prolific engagement farmer. Given how pointed his takes have become, there is little chance he’s changed in so little time to become this opinionated

Sometimes the truth is sensational. I hope you know you lost at least one long time follower after your recent stretch of engagement farming. You’ve fallen off. Good time to lay off the tweets and look inward.

Of course there are no people in the car. I can’t take a walk anywhere without seeing at least one Waymo drive by without anyone in the front seat. This is old news. It’s really really funny reading these takes. We’re living in the future a

Grouping Waymo with anyone else including Cruise and Tesla is insane. You don’t know what you’re talking about frankly. Waymo is better than anyone else out there by a mile. Source: I take one daily.

Instead of ending up with an organic distribution of personnel by hiring those qualified, now no one gets any jobs. Progress!

Let me explain again since it went over your head the first time. Companies, all else being equal, will choose less regulation over more regulation. If TikTok could release outside of the App Store where no one can inspect what they do, the

The problem with this is that going outside of Apple's walled garden benefits 3rd parties who would prefer to do whatever they want so to use the same apps as before, everyone will have to submit to that risk. Apple's walled garde

It's not my misunderstanding, it's their inability to communicate clearly. I already explained why it's wrong so there's nothing to understand.

Their usage is improper. If that was their intention, it should have read “every area”.

Do you really believe the US doesn’t lead in any area?

The very first thing on the page is a "Jump to recipe" link. If you too are a victim of dwindling attention spans like the rest of us, you have the option to skip straight past the beautiful photos and background.

And yet you use WhatsApp because the European alternatives are hot garbage. Same with every other product domain. Regulation isn’t innovation.

Parent comment used “monopoly on violence” correctly: the government can physically show up to your house and forcibly imprison you or even kill you if you resist hard enough. No one else can (legally).

Most of Europe’s communication can be severed by turning off WhatsApp servers. That’s just one product out of thousands that Europeans take for granted every day. Operating systems, maps, productivity, communications, cloud, entertainment,

Because white people exist and it refuses to draw them when asked explicitly. It doesn’t refuse for any other race.

Congratulations, here is your gold medal in mental gymnastics. Enough now. It literally refuses to generate images of white people when prompted directly while not only happily obliging but only producing that specific race in all 4 results

by pb7 3y ago
It outright refused to generate images of a white family but has no problem doing so with any other race. The historical part of it is the least problematic.

This was no accident either. This was deliberate, programmed discrimination.

You opened your wallet to the same megacorp. The only difference is you're sitting on your high horse for some reason.

That's for the US to decide. Outside of fair share of NATO dues, the rest isn't for Europe to stick its nose in any more than the US doesn't stick its nose in how Europe spends its budget.

Do Europeans think the US is the leader of the free world?
