If AI was actually making you more profitable, you wouldn't need to be cost cutting to avoid bankruptcy.

The monopoly/gatekeeping effect of an OS developer making apps that compete with independent apps has such an easy solution. The OS must not give private api's or special permissions to its in-house apps. Don't try to fight the gatekeeping feature by feature, that is whack-a-mole.

Bonus points if you require the primary UI (window manager in the language of the ancients) to be an installable app.

Google crawling respects robots.txt and doesn't break capcha. It is easy to tell Google to piss off. SerpAPI fully relies on end-user proxies distributed like malware (in LG tv apps for instance), it has no other way it could function because it exclusively ingests data from sources that tell it to stop. If you wanted to scrape a bot friendly site, you wouldn't need SerpApi

China's Falcon 9 clone (long march 10b) is ready to go. Will you feel better when most of those sky dots are Chinese?

Studio Canal directly got paid for each individual purchase. It isn't all on Sony, Studio Canal sold a product then took it away.

Amazon can't bury it without alienating Luca Guadagnino. Instead they are allowing anyone else publish it. Maybe A24 will want it, it is screening well.

I see you are an AMD VCACHE enjoyer.

Okay. But how many products have Gemini or Claude in the name?

Ground invasion would literally be Vietnam again. And don't say they'll never do it. Reports from classified briefings indicate a draft is seriously being considered.

Campaign finance laws were set up tell you where the line is. There needs to be a line because the amount of reach you have should not grow with your wealth. But Citizens United made the money as speech an unlimited right. Spending $250 is a completely different category than spending $250 million.

Authentication & Authorization is a OS feature. But instead of the OS collecting everyone's age, just give parents the ability to verify their child's phone is in child lockdown mode. Then the phone narc's to the website: "the user is under age". Not "the user was born on Feb 29 2001." We can rely on parenting to ensure a child doesn't have a non child mode phone. Enable parents, not control everyone.

TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC is only within the US (controlled by Larry Ellison). You still get ByteDance.

Some people seem to want to believe that true thought is spiritual in nature. They will never accept that something physical and made by man could do it. They would stop believing humans are intelligent if given conclusive proof of how the brain works.

Pardon me, didn’t Apple win the exact same suit by Epic? Apple’s app store is fine, but Google’s isn’t?

Other than assembly, which barely qualifies as a language, what programming language is lower than C?
