Fun fact: George Chakiris played Riff, leader of the Jets, on the West End before being cast as Bernardo, leader of the Sharks, in the movie.

Zero connection between what DOJ is accusing Apple of and a benefit to consumers. They just don’t like that Apple is too big. But every remedy makes the platform less reliable

Respectfully disagree. The EU way is to be anti-corporation w/o showing that their policies benefit consumers.
Apple had to shelve its next gen Lightning, which would have exceeded USB-C specs, because the EU, not consumers, demanded uniformity. How does stifling innovation help customers?

I’m torn here. Government needs to regulate how software turns into utility-like services, and obviously needs to monitor bad actors. But when govt tries to interfere with hardware development, it nearly always backfires. Eg, forcing Apple to use USB-C is a temp victory that is stifling the next gen

Times it’s okay to criticize someone’s appearance:
1) if they wear scuba gear to a Broadway play.
2) If their clothes are intentionally on fire in a public gathering.
3) If they get their team colors mixed up and wear, say, orange and purple face paint to a greenbay packers game

I can’t remember my blood type but I can remember that in 2009, a rep for Murray cheese explained the chemistry on science Friday
Oh yeah, I also know the lyrics to the Andy Griffith theme song, I can’t remember where the keys to my safety deposit box are

It’s not 50-50, maybe 75-25, but yes, it’s mostly GOBs protecting each other, with a little bit of punishing women for wearing that short skirt or having a beer after the sun went down. The “she was asking for” syndrome. Stuff you can’t believe we’re still dealing with in 2024.

Plus they’re ugly and look cheap. But we’re addicted to convenience. Pull the plastic tab so the battery terminals connect, and stick it in the ground. Couldn’t be easier, and so what if you hit them with the lawnmower or the dog chews on them. Straight to the landfill and buy another one.

Not sure how Tech Bros are thinking about this, but for 20 years, the SF Gates and Livestrongs paid not experts to crank out content: recipes, shopping tips, use baking soda on your yellow toenails. Now AI/ML/LLM are harvesting this content, with predictable results.

West Point in the ‘80s, roommates were from all over, and had colorful ways of saying everything. But I think the internet is wiping out a lot of it. It’s been ages since I heard anyone say “cut off the lights,” (TN and SC) or “cattywampus” (diagonally across an intersection) (NE).
