Looks like AI slop

If I search for Google it returns a massive dataset because it is also looking at the Google watermark in the street view scraped data.

There is zero incentive for a company to invest in tooling and tech to make processes that lose them customers more efficient. This is something that has to be regulated and enforced. I just don't see a c-suit clamoring to spend money on making it easier to leave.

Perfect person to ask this. What is behind the need to constantly abandon products/services in favor of new offerings that have a fraction of the functionality?

Its small and deliberate. Setting the mental state of the customer to obfuscate the responsible party by throwing in Salesforce. A deliberate dark pattern.

Exactly the reason I use a headset with a boom mic. Flip it up to mute, and back down to activate. Love it.

Their in lies the power of the internet. It exposes who and what wants to control the narrative. This is what needs to be quelled. The need and want for control is toxic and needs to end.

Sure... Who is the hospital billing $69k to, the insurance? Also $2,500 is still a lot.

> Avoiding discussion just because misogyny is mentioned

Its human nature, people will avoid it by not engaging if it just gets thrown around and used to berate without cause.

> when misogyny is, in fact, at every turn

Yes, it pervasive but not at every turn. Case in point, this thread.

> as is avoiding mentioning misogyny because of people doing that.

No one is saying to avoid it. Just saying that it is not helping when you indiscriminately label everything as misogyny.

Claiming misogyny at every turn shuts down discourse and actually hurts progress as people will just avoid all discussion even when it is legitimately misogyny.

Interested to know this as well. I am not sure if pointing to a definition on Urban Dictionary with ~100 thumbs is enough to redefine a word let alone assume that the average person is using it as a dog whistle.

This is BS. I do this daily, and it has nothing to do with validation. I don't post it online but I do send a snap. Its a system that a friend and I have in place, it keeps up accountable to go get some sort of workout in every morning.

I can see someone doing this and posting it online to keep themselves accountable.

I actually really like Microsoft ToDo. Your setup can be as simple as you want or as complex as you need it to be!

This is fun to read but also implies that we have representatives competent enough to even understand things at this level. Maybe they don't have to understand it, I doubt they even consult someone who could help them understand this.

Work for a company that provides software for Walmart among many others, AWS was a no go from day 1. It was between GCP & Azure and Google has a way of not listening to customers so that experiment ended quickly and we're on Azure now.

This is accurate form my perspective. I work for a company that made a big bet on Google Cloud and we spent the last 4 years building on it. We are now moving to Azure because of the number of times Google kept dropping support for things forcing us to rewrite our libraries. We should have never went with PaaS (App Engine) but thats a different issue all together. App Engine Flex was a nightmare to work with because Google couldn't help themselves with the constant urge to change things by ripping out things and replacing them instead of having a vision and improving on the existing offerings.

You'll have to trust someone. Both Google & Apple are in the same boat in that respect. My main reason to switch to Apple is the consistency. I am getting sick and tired of Google killing app after app I rely on only to release a new one with half the features. At this point I'm willing to shell out the extra money even though I agree that Apple hardware is borderline rip off levels of pricing.

Been an Android users since the first Android phone (HTC G1), before that I was on Windows Mobile. If Apple opened things up I would switch in a heartbeat. I doubt it will happen though.

Adapters to plugin in iPhones in to Mac Books... Its hilariously incompetent.

I'd rather they make the back uniform thickness so the camera bump is eliminated. Take the extra space for a larger battery. No one is asking for thinner phones but quite a lot of people would love phones with better battery life.

> Now we're instead having a discussion about Android phones and Animojis?

Because you & apple during the presentation made is sound like computational photography in phones was something ground breaking and never before seen. Its been in the Pixel phone for years.

Thats why no one talks about it cumulatively. By cumulative logic every new iPhone release is the most interesting ever by definition because its... cumulative.

Because the 128 a sweet spot and most people don't have a need for more. The 64 size is just enough to push most intensive users over the hump and in to iCloud subscriptions. I'm sure Apple has all the analytics on how much space is being used by their users and how much iCloud subscriptions would take a hit with an 128 offering.

That argument makes sense for phones that aren't classified as "PRO".

> I can see why they didn't talk about this at the event. People would have booed.

I doubt it, those events get gasps and thunderous applause over the most basic features that competitors have had for a while.

I think there is a cultural split here in the US. I personally hate branding and logos but you also have a large group of people that go out of their way to buy things with huge logos. To each their own.

"I would expect people protesting in front of their homes 24 hours per day. And covering their cars with rotten eggs when they went out."

Honestly that would be letting them off too easy, they need to be dragged in front of a court and be made to explain their behavior to the loved ones of victims that had died from this. They also need to be sentenced to a few thousand hours of first hand volunteer work that directly deals with people impacted by this. Seeing first hand the cost of their greed might knock some sense in to these people, if that won't I'm not sure what will.

No one could have ever guessed resting on your laurels and price gouging customers because you were the only game in town would ever come back to bite them. /s

Not saying its right but Instagram terms of services states that they person cannot be younger than 13, this is a instance of the person being 12. The parents need to be more responsible and not create or allow social media accounts for their kids when they are that young.

We do this for our app already, right now the biggest issue is switching between pages causing the application to reload. I'm curious to see if anyone has a good solution for a problem like this, each of our apps are written in Angular.
