I can appreciate your point, but there's a broad history of paid services introducing ads, ads getting longer and more abrasive, content people having paid for being disappeared at the whim of the network, algorithms dictating how peop

Penalties should be strong enough that sites and apps do not collect more than an email address without very good reason. Just wanting to contact me with marketing literature is not a good reason.

I wish there were Indian curry vans instead of ice cream vans, driving around the streets playing distinctive music from 5-8pm. Group buy discounts for individual streets to promote pre-purchase, etc. Do a different suburb each night of the

I thought this story was going to be about an AI partner discovering the stats that defined them, and changing them to abruptly alter their personality.

In South Australia, they're very much monitored and controlled. In the Northern Territory however, it is not uncommon in season to see fires burning beside the highway in a national park, and no one anywhere nearby monitoring them. Wel

Even with the marketing campaign, it seemed like a major cultural moment. Probably notable that The Blair Witch Project came out in the same year, and also had a significant buzz. I worked online in a time when some people didn't and m

One can quickly see that an individual ideal for a ruthless frontier with competing behemoths might be less perfect for a slightly more encouraging and nurturing incubator.

That's fair, but if you have a library card and the Libby app, you can queue and borrow e-books for free and without leaving the house or remembering returns. My kids borrow from their school library but also read on Libby a reasonable

My kids have loads of Lego, hundreds of books (plus library access), and rooms full of art supplies. They're well travelled, very knowledgeable, outdoorsy and more. I'm talking about how small decisions influence parenting in gene

Usually they're sprinkled on arterials of some scale. Suburbs could support more corner shops and studios, but (at least where I live) it feels like councils are nervous about parking burdens created by these. Developers avoid giving u

I'm a parent of three. Traffic is my key concern. There are more parked vehicles blocking sightlines, taller vehicles, and drivers are more likely to be distracted by their phone.

Nature play spaces are common in Australian schools now. Logs, rocks, dirt. Kids make forts and grind up rocks and so on. 40 years ago at the same school, we had old car tyres to roll around.

That's another challenge for parents. Books are expensive and take up space. Lego and various other toys are also expensive, take up space, and children constantly need reminders to pack it up. Arts and craft quickly dominate spaces an

Are any of these developing battery chemistries likely to become very affordable to the point that future houses are built with cellar-sized batteries stored underneath them?

I think this gives you similar material to the Song Radio functionality. You could use Album Radio or Artist Radio as a shortcut. I use these and Discover Weekly to discover a lot of new tracks. I know some people don't find discovery

You can use "song radio" to get a mix of new material and favourited songs that relate to a song, album or artist. It's even been given a prominent icon if you're using Spotify via Car Play or similar.

Where I live, the council/county, mail out to residents about group purchases of solar/batteries. Probably a way of helping without necessarily subsidising.

Is it assumed that Sam would be more aligned with Microsoft than not? From a vague awareness only, I'd guess that Microsoft wants to wield OpenAI against rivals, and SamA wouldn't find it unappealing to be bigger than Zuckerberg?

I know very little about nuclear plants, but ignoring the usual risks, could it be anchored to the sea floor? Is the floating element necessary? Would there be cooling advantages also?

Further, Resolve is available on iPad now, and Black Magic have a film app on iPhone (that I think was shown in the BTS). So technically they could've edited on iOS if necessary. On the photo side, Lightroom on iOS is pretty decent.

That's a bit uncharitable towards Americans. Yes, it's a very car-centric society in most places, but they also have a very strong outdoor/hiking/camping culture.
