Makes sense to me... the Toyota mini trucks of the 80s/90s were super useful and Tacomas are basically full-sized and not as efficient.

Well, there is no great way to import nicely formatted text into Notes, not even with Shortcuts. Respect to Gruber, but if Apple supports Markdown in Notes, it wouldn't be the worst thing.

So I assume these "trusted partners", who aren't charging for the service, are somehow in the data collection racket?

Is this article confusing correlation with causation? What about a tall/blunt hood, but not lengthy... has that been tested? Is there anything about where and how these vehicles are used that factors in? Has driver training maintained quality over the years? In theory, I understand the incremental loss of visibility, with longer, taller hoods, but this article just seems lazy. I hope the underlying research is actually better.

Looking at Adobe's website, you'd never know it...

Even factoring in probable range increases and advances in charging tech, it will still be necessary to incrementally, if not fully, charge EVs in public. One thing that doesn’t seem to occur to our elected officials… there is nowhere near enough real estate to charge that many vehicles around town.

Some portion of the vision and spray tech was invented long ago by Patchen Selective Spray Systems. At some point, I believe John Deere bought the company.

That's something like 13 Twitters. This Metaverse thing must be good.

Gonna stick with my Brompton.

Also worth noting that almost no effort has been made by the folks making note taking apps to help people make better use of their entries. Sure, they've implemented things like gallery views, filters, and tagging, but these are all passive and require the user to seek out the information. Why not active features like an API that makes code snippets available in my IDE, a feature that surfaces recipe recommendations from my collection, or how about automatically organizing my receipts by month and offering an expense summary report? There are a ton of features that could be made to help people better access and use the notes they make.

There have been attempts at this (e.g. the hResume microformat) and you can use schema.org schemas to build one up, but beyond picking up basic data like name, address, telephone number, etc... parsing resumes is challenging. People's experience doesn't always fit nice and neatly into the fields the schemas imagine and the incentive to game such systems also leads to irregular data.

They just keep coming for the kids.

This isn't even redeemable from a technical perspective as Disney has been doing this same thing on their cruise ships -in the Animator's Palate dining hall- for at least a decade.

Right. Prior to social media, people were vetted many ways and in every context in which they gained an audience. (e.g. earned standing in social settings and community groups, promotions at work, editors of one sort or another when publishing to a group, etc) Audiences grew incrementally as people earned their audience. Social media removed all that vetting and it inverted the criteria to grow an audience. Sensationalism was rewarded over thoughtfulness. So one of the most important tools we've always relied on to judge information was removed. Hard to believe, as intelligent as these folks at Facebook/Meta are said to be, that they don't understand this. Feels disingenuous.

Maybe start by actually hiring a doctor, a person you can form a relationship with, rather than a health care system/company. The doctor may charge high fees, but their behavior is more likely to be bound by the relationship, and societal expectations around decency and respect between people. This dynamic does not exist between companies (read health care systems) and the people they supposedly serve, but both internal and external corporate incentives -however well meaning or small when considered alone- come together to extract as much money as possible.
