You’re not wrong, but that bias is not stemming out of Racism imo. Also I’m not saying that the bias is acceptable, but it shows a different kind of social problem that often transcends classes and gender.

A trip to Antarctica is cheaper than you might have thought.

Curious, why?

While this is true in broad strokes, I think money fails to capture non quantifiable quality of life improvements. Hacker culture being close to the users could solve them, but being driven by money would definitely hinder that development

With only a little bit of effort you can prevent them from becoming obsolete. Most straightforward way is to just reprogram the nfc chip. Alternatively, Just add a redirector, one that maps show names/ids to the urls.

Tangential - your last line made me think about what "Fare well" means. Weird that I come across it so often, but never stopped to think what it means. :)

As a YTMusic user, it's not much better, (probably worse with multiple uploads of the same song by regular people) but it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying to me.

Of course it's not a likeable take, but it's a grounded one. And it's exactly the reason why companies don't care about climate change either.

One insight is — characters remain the same when they move into a diagonal position. So if you want F, e.g., look for Fs on the diagonal, or Es 1 unit dist. Left/above from the diagonal or Gs 1 unit dist. To the right, etc.

With tiling managers you can do all you just listed + quick snapping. Who would say no to that?

Sadly "sensitivity" has been over done. It's a fine line and corporations would rather cross it for legal/social reasons. Similar to how too much political correctness will hamper the society, so does the overly done sensitivity in an agent, be it a human, or AI.

Fwiw, I agree w you. I think business incentives are sometimes misaligned w what is holistically good for a society. Just because what is good for society cannot be clearly defined, all effort to do so must not be given up. For instance Laws punishing google when ranking CP high will def bring a change in Google's attitude towards dealing with this stuff.

With the kind of stakes involved for Apple, they are okay expending a bit of goodwill.
