I mean, you're wrong. As a Xoogler, everything was in Sheets. Our roadmap was in Sheets. It's more they don't care.

Do… you… not wash your own ass in the shower? The alien response to what is literally analogous behavior to daily activity is fascinating. (I am an American, fwiw. With some travel to Asia.

I mean, I don't think you need to do cutting edge programming to make something personal to you. See here from Canva's product. Check this out: https://youtu.be/LupwvXsOQqs?t=2366
Re:Apple Launches Apple Invites on Tuesday February 04, 2025 @01:55PM (#42936892)
what would you get from an iPad app that the web app doesn't?
Apple Invites can be used on the web. https://www.icloud.com/invites/
Shared Albums, Apple Web, are all available on the web.
Are you a doctor? On what basis are you evaluating medical advice?
Anyone have the actual paper? Does it list who (eg Huberman) is receiving the payola?
Re:New iPad Pro with M4 chip and Apple Pencil Pro on Tuesday May 07, 2024 @01:02PM (#40288382)
its been 9 years of Apple Pencil and they haven't done this yet, why would they start now?
What do you possibly get about trying to hairsplit the number OF DEAD CHILDREN. Oh, yes, you’re right. It wasn’t 20,000 so we shouldn’t say “tens of thousand” it was just twelve thousand three hundred children.

“Impacted” is definitely one word for it. Murdered another.

Re:How to Start Google on Wednesday March 20, 2024 @01:06AM (#39763016)
No, they're saying 1000 bets on random foundational technology means PG is more likely to have a startup to invest in that's a winner, then necessarily giving good advice to the individual founder who doesn't have 1000 turns at the wheel.
Re:Humane AI Pin on Thursday November 09, 2023 @05:30PM (#38212312)
Maybe in the long term view - people correctly identifying that Dropbox had no differentiator (to quote Steve "this is a feature, not a product').
Re:Humane AI Pin on Thursday November 09, 2023 @05:23PM (#38212227)
Wrong, ex-Apple people
You know they announced a price cut right?
… what is Apple sabotaging? Google intentionally holds back features on iOS…

lol a lot of normal people don't know what Excel is.

lol dude, Google is being sued in like a dozen countries https://qz.com/google-is-in-a-world-of-trouble-from-governme... (and this article is from last year)
Re:Segment Anything Demo by Meta AI on Wednesday April 05, 2023 @05:53PM (#35460895)
um... did you sleep through the last 8+ years of handwringing about election interference, Russian / state propaganda, live streaming massacres, addiction / mental health effects of social media, particular for kids? I can't imagine the other FAANGs come close
Re:Adobe Firefly vs. MidJourney AI image generation on Monday April 03, 2023 @03:43PM (#35430128)
lol that is not the user they're targeting. They're targeting the express user. Someone who is definitely not using Discord or Photoshop.
Have you tried the new notes in 16.2 / 13.1? It’s gotten a lot faster!
I don’t know their roadmap, but if anything I’d point you to a tool called Descript which is great at this. You can get transcriptions, and make edits based on the text (e.g. cough, um s, etc.) Descript.app (I am not affiliated with them, just a fan)
Re:AI Homework on Monday December 05, 2022 @02:21PM (#33870486)
You’d think it would be smart enough to know that for this particular question, the details of the answers have not changed since 2021.
Re:Apple Introduces Oceanic+ on Monday November 28, 2022 @11:18AM (#33775480)
I like that you assume it's going to shit the bed vs. assuming that they planned for it, given the hardware supports it.
"Vote on everything aside federal elections" - what precisely did you think this means? We can't vote for the president, our elected officials to Congress can't vote on the laws that are passed. What "voting" can we do, other than yes, local elections?

Coinbase? they're down 80% since their IPO (I am a shareholder); I suppose if the checkbox is "they IPOd" then sure.
Re:Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B on Thursday September 15, 2022 @03:52PM (#32857622)
Sketch... competes with Figma. They're UI/UX tools. What makes Figma great was their collaboration first element, which they will be keeping. Adobe was going down the web path as well https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2021/10/26/creative-cloud-...
Re:Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B on Thursday September 15, 2022 @01:47PM (#32855785)
Not... really. Sketch is what is most analogous.
