Because he’s arguing the work is happening, just slowly and is not just a way to funnel and steal money? The opposite of the comment he’s replying to?

It’s funny how Americans hate for “whataboutism” suddenly goes away when the criticisms are pointed anywhere but at them.

The line “Prohibiting trust fund assets from being used for non-trust fund programs” just cracks me up. “People should be able to spend money how they want! Except like that or on things I don’t like”.

Thi budget has the word “Biiden” in it more times than it does budget. I also includes the words “woke ideology”. Definitely a very serious attempt to look at our spending and not just political bullshit.

My anti abortion friends will say “the problem is they don’t care about the children after they’re born” and then happily go vote for trump again this Nov because their church told them joe Biden is the devil.

You don’t want to invest in stopping fraud here. The investment costs more than you’d get back, no one is making bank stealing free school lunch. We conceded this before and made life worse for millions of people.

You do want to invest in stopping corporate fraud, because the investments pay off there.

6 in phones are in no danger of disappearing though.

I hate small phones. I switched back to an iphone SE years ago and realized it was a pita to use anymore. Everything is… too small.

100 is hot out and 0 is cold. That’s not crazy. 35 being hot out is pretty arbitrary for day to day use. But if your job is boiling water every day, it’s probably not the best.

I’m in Thailand and knockoff Disney stuff (and Legos) are pretty normal. And it’s nice. The kids buying them have to deal with seeing their ads plastered all over town, so it’s nice there are versions they can buy. I just wish they were so shitty quality and the big companies markup wasn’t so fucking insane. Lego sets pretty regularly hit $200-$300 here. There literally is no Nintendo Thailand, so game prices are pretty random based on import fees that retailers can negotiate (or sneak through).

The nice thing is no one gives a shit about piracy. No risks really.

Signing doesn’t provide security of privacy protections. It just means you paid apple a fee.

They’re also claiming it’s fine if he just has them (or SCOTUS) all killed in the name of national security.

Lol. I pitched getting these last year and my boss laughed. “Have you worked with these people? They’re incompetent. They can’t tell you how a single thing works, let alone the whole system. It sounds nice to have, but we’ll have to do it ourselves”

Reading this new CEOs job history on linkedin is kinda infuriating. She goes from intern to head of consumer products at Skype in less than a year. Just… Frustrating to read that while I am and manage really good people who struggle for decades in the trenches to get even paltry job opportunities.

But she got her MBA from Stanford so nepotism ahoy I guess.

because it probably can’t get less bulky and look less dorky,

Airpods are probably one of the ugliest pieces of tech ove seen in the last decade and yet somehow it doesn’t seem to matter. Never overestimate apple’s customer base.

Genuinely curious, do real people actually use ipads?

Ive never gotten to write rust professionally, but I have always kinda winder d if it was marketed wrong. My thought was always that it should be sold as “easy” though. Its easy to write code. It’s hard(er) to make mistakes.

I kinda figure there’s a bunch of systems programmers with their heads up their asses who would never be caught dead writing in an “easy” language though, so it couldn’t go that way.

(I got bored and started skimming halfway though this article, but it’s neat to hear about up and coming languages I’ll never use at the end)

This guy’s argument would literally be that Mario maker is encouraging child labor because it doesn’t pay kids who make levels in it.

I think they probably learned this number from the iOS tracking opt in. It’s not as large as people like to think. People don’t like being tracked, but they’ll trade it for free stuff pretty easily.

When the west took whatever it wanted it just killed everyone who disagreed. China can’t do that, so you get to hear the people arguing about it.
