This is fine. If successful, the next administration can just leverage it for a different kind of agenda. In fact, by the time we know whether it's successful, this admin will likely be gone. I'm a bit conflicted though. I hated

The world, other than the US, runs on WhatsApp. Business, support and payments are done there. So people do care.

I've felt more uncomfortable with the UK Border Force than US CBP. It's been a few years since I've been to the UK, but there was usually more tension for Non-European foreigners at the Airport than non-Americans at the US ai

Whatsapp is more popular in the US than you'd think. Probably due to a large immigrant population. I'm in several groups that use the channels feature to organize things like soccer, game nights etc. Most people with family abroad

iMessage will not be opening up. They lobbied hard in the EU and got an exemption for not being popular enough there I guess.

A lot of christians will start a "Bible In One Year" program at the beginning of the year. Kind of like the gym resolution. Sometimes it will take a few years to read the whole Bible, and then you start the cycle again. There&#x27

It's fine to add the books, when you do, I hope the elegant way gives one the option to enable/disable them. Otherwise you're probably going to miss out on one audience or the other.

> When Jeff gives a seminar at Stanford, it's so crowded Don Knuth has to sit on the floor. (TRUE) That's actually funny and cool if true. I think what's even more impressive is that this stuff was all pre-AI boom.

Good on them. Just hastening the inevitable shift to Linux. I don't even care what they do anymore.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife went through a difficult but successful birth of our first daughter, and I cannot watch or read about births without involuntarily welling up. I pray your family will be comforted and that the new ye

I agree. I think the point here was the self-appointed AI detectives, who will declare any writing style unfamiliar to them a product of ChatGPT. You might remember the Paul Graham "delve-gate" controversy on twitter last year. It

Yes they are, or rather, we were when I was in primary school. My essays (we called them composition) were filled with these these red check marks for every esoteric word, proverb, metaphor or simile you used. The more you had the higher

But this was also just a short-lived political environment as well, where companies pretended to care about the current thing because it was politically expedient. How long did it take for them to do a 180? I mean they didn't believe

It's criminal that Microsoft is losing to Cursor, even as they own VS Code, Visual Studio and Github. How does that happen?

Teams was clearly never meant to be used as a standalone product. It was a pretty effective defense play. Block other competitors from gaining a foothold.

Yeah, and I also hope that all the PC makers close up shop as well. They rely on Microsoft for everything OS. Listen, you can just enjoy your iPhone in peace. Let other people make things, even if you feel they don't meet your standard

The reaction here is interesting. I thought this is what people wanted, a consolidation of all the streaming services into one so you did not have to subscribe to 10 different ones. I personally think it's a bad idea, but people need t

I got excited until I saw they cost $600? Once in a while I'm reminded we exist in very different universes. Still trying to justify splurging on common projects 2 years later.

> Ginni Rometty and Meg Whitman appear to be more interested in keeping their jobs than in saving their companies I think this is why I have so much respect for Pat Gelsinger. He really was trying to save Intel, so much so that it cost
