I like how in the article the author includes the instructions for Cal AI:
- Include a reference object (like a coin or your hand) for scale
And then the screenshots show just a pictures of bowls of food with no reference objects at all.
Honestly curious if that would have improved the author's experience.

This is over 1% of North Korea's annual GDP, for scale.
Re:Snowden: Stop Relying on Facebook for Your News

The article says this:
Snowden’s comments echoed those of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who said that it’s “extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other.”
But he's NOT echoing Zuckerberg's comments - either in spirit or intent. He's pointing out a bigger problem inherent in relying on Facebook as a single source for news.

For a public company, this calculation is pretty easy. If saving lives doesn't maximize shareholder value, you don't do it.

The entire iTunes catalog available for streaming would be a killer feature. Where did you see hear that the entire catalog would be available to stream?

I'm comfortable pointing out misleading comparisons in any statement, whether I agree with the underlying argument or not. When you feel like you are in the minority, it is especially important to choose your comparisons and arguments carefully so that people don't dismiss you before understanding you. When discussing with detail oriented people, it's important to get the details right.

I'm not trying to split hairs, it's a difference of 10x magnitude at least. It's a pet peeve of mine when people compare annual amounts to present values. I'm actually sympathetic to your argument about what society values, but if you want people to listen to what you are saying, you might want to be a bit more careful making comparisons like that.

Misleading comparison. Armenia's GDP is the estimated economic worth produced annually by Armenia. Pinterest's valuation relates to the economic value produced by Pinterest for all future years, not annually.

I have that plan and the WiFi calling on my iPhone used the minutes. Are you using some sort of VOIP app?
