I can’t find Cards … Is it US only? I recently started using Chrome again - like last month - never noticed any “Cards”. There is the weird Journey thing though. No idea what’s that about.

Google is a multi billion dollar company. They can’t spare a few developers to maintain a mostly isolated feature? (Changes and security updates to the JPEGXL will have no impact on the rest of Chrome.) If after a decade no one really uses

It's fact that masks help prevent the transmission of diseases that spread from the nose and mouth (and to my knowledge COVID is one of those) - that's why healthcare workers wear them; they have worn them for decades. > certai

If the company is public, they will go where the money is. The near random bunch of people that make up the shareholders won’t have any political leanings as a collective. They will care about one thing only, maximising profit.

I don’t understand why you would think current AI can do any of that. Current AI can’t even stop hallucinating.

Everyone is freaking out about AI writing “common code” yet we have reusable code in the form of libraries for decades - and now frameworks. You will never have to write code that does what the library does ever again.

Black surfaces are good at absorbing AND radiating heat. I think that’s why the SR-71 was painted black. The amount of heat it got from absorbing the sun’s rays probably paled in comparison to the heat it radiated from all the friction as i
