Why is it fake news, and how do you know that?

I read the article - twice. What is the point that the author is trying to make?

I felt it too - but this seems like the kind of solution that will get you 90% of the way there, but still requires an animator to make it feel 'right'. This is insane though.

My guess would be that that SNB's backstop and liquidity assistance is a way to bail them out before the inevitable collapse. It may make the medicine go down easier, as CS's collapse looks likely. Upon their demise, SNB can then say "well, great thing we had that backstop, huh!" rather than needing to find the political capital to get a bailout through.

Just a guess.

I don't think the FBI cares about TikTok, to be honest. It seems like we're entering a period of posturing against the Chinese, using implicit 'sanctioning' methods: - Banning TikTok - Accusing them of the COVID lab leak theory - Posturing with Taiwan

Seems were just building a substrate for... something. Not to sound too conspiratorial. ;)

Just add a gear affixed to the handle, and then a second gear mated with that, and find the gearing ratio that allows the granular/sensitive inputs you want.

There is. Open the app, play a song. Tap the little Speaker button in the bottom right, near the scrub bar, Airplay & Bluetooth, select your HomePod. :)

Love spotify, but I have always wondered about what seems to be an intentional choice re: their iOS client.

Certain actions related to the speakers/mic outside of the app itself cause music to stop playing, and be unrecoverable unless I reopen the app and tap play.

For example, if I am listening to Spotify, open iMessage, and accidentally hit the dictation icon, I now have to go into Spotify to start playing the music again. If I drag the hidden iOS control pane down, it says no music is paused, so I can't start playing it from there again.

Sounds small, but is super frustrating.

Seems odd to me. They mention that they'll have humans review your sex. I thought identifying did not require external affirmation? What do you think?

I'm trying to find the book as an e-book. Anyone have any luck?

I don't really think it has a material impact in how people view my culture. I understand that they've incorporated some of the core tenants and mixed them with their own, but the existence of it doesn't bother me, and I don't think you can really appropriate ideas.

Free for me to use, free for you to use.

I imagine it would mean to take an element of someone's culture, and then adapt it to your own use case that allows you to benefit from it, even if it shines a light on some sort of negative stereotype. Is that a decent definition

No worries. But I think that points out something of a hole in the argument, no? If the generic `you` is what you intended to mean, isn't that a blanket assumption?
