   Apple Maps is fairly good in the US. Not in Europe, it sent me to the wrong place a couple of times. However, directions on Google Maps has been corrupted by Waze - it tends to save you a tiny bonus of time by sending you in weird paths or

   Not OP, but I've avoided those when possible too (except some company issued tees), etc. Full cotton/wool are the best.

   Last time we had to fast charge on the way to Yosemite, we had lunch at a strategically parked taco truck in the same lot (they even had a picnic table). We would have walked to a nearby restaurant if needed.

   "Carbon capture" == "clean coal". Different decade, same scam.

   Yes, it could be a fit issue - ie, seat height is wrong, need more padding in your clothing, etc.

    I had to back off that and instead do other games (ie, wandrer.earth gives you points for "new miles") because I got a bit too competitive and borderline dangerous. Besides, I got records and fastest times when e.g. wind was at my

    Legacy T-Mobile plan (SimpleChoice with 10 lines and lots of grandfathered benefits) for about $270/mo. The lack of any fluctuation in billing make it easy for me to offer lines to extended family.

    I don't know but there are Disney TV shows where the main characters "aspire to become an influencer". It's embedded in the zeitgeist, and I don't know it gets dislodged if at all.

    I'd say the same for the reverse. Except that has been the history of office work for generations except we have the technology and economy where that isn't required.

    What if the pitch were "we made $10x selling this data and were fined $x" - seems quite compelling if you're amoral about it.

    I think CA propositions have been a boon. CA is a democratic machine state. So you can't get representation for ideas left or right of the centrist viewpoint of CA pols - except, you can with propositions. The bad props that passed (

    The solution to "save democracy" would be have more of it. The problem with our model is that everything relies on representatives who don't actually do the representation part. We should have more direct democracy. For all

    The US is no longer a democracy. It's effectively an oligarchy now.

    First off, I’m far more concerned about end-user security and privacy than anti-competitive moves. For the latter I’m sure the FTC will cover that in their antitrust suit. Secondly do you have a link for your targeting claims?

    Everything you said is hypothetically true but fails to withstand scrutiny. Apple has a brand of trust and security. If they decided to become even the tiniest bit evil in that dimension their “secure” brand would evaporate overnight. Unles
