Things I hope for:

- Oracle defaulting on its debt commitments.

- Anti trust action into Skydance forcing a breakup.

- Larry forced to cover the difference by selling family silver.

- Lanai going back into the hands of the people of Hawaii.

Just for the laughs and for forcing me to bear with some of the worst applications of all time.

You would think they would add a cellular modem to it now that they have their own, but no we get a touchscreen.

Terrible company, such evasive statements. Seems ripe for disruption.

Surely they should be investigated by the local regulator.

Yeah calling these things a bug or technical issue is just bullshit.

And also it has help, it is unlikely it acts alone. Example Stuxnet. Israel has the talent so they are a convenient and willing proxy too for getting shady shit done.

I wouldn’t count on safe Med passage, I think last month a drone attacked a ship in Egypt. And the channel to Suez isn’t exactly wide or out of range for Houthis.

GCC will have to talk to Iran now, there is no reasonable way out of this quagmire other than a regional accommodation with Iran. Talk about a regression but here we are.

If Dems win next time around they should repeal the AUMF at the very least. We cannot be at war at all times.

I’ve just been trying to get my hands on local compute period. I have this (perhaps irrational l) fear that personal computers will be increasingly expensive for the next half decade or so due to AI demand and I value having my own device much more now than just a chat bot.

The loss is tragic but I’m sorry GPS jamming was not a factor here. There was a NOTAM indicating it’s going on, the pilots should have been aware and it appears when they reached out with a request the jamming was stopped.

It was a visual approach at a moonless night at an airport in high terrain, this was pilot error unfortunately.

Dario thinks of policy as if the Berlin Wall fell yesterday, he is so detached from the reality of the world.

The way the world economy is right now with coercion being the norm between countries, there cannot be a global body for anything, certainly not one that is based here in the US.

That is true. It’s a big corporate so I understand why purists dislike it but as a business it has done well.
