The ultra-rich have an addiction to money and power. Addictions are never beneficial. The addiction is driving them crazy.

As they say, it's for your security and convenience! Honestly! ::: spoiler spoiler /s :::

Some intentions behind this are mentioned in this WIRED article.

Related well-intentioned albeit misguided and possibly harmful concept is annoying password expiration that is also no longer recommended.

The novel the movie is loosely based on, Make Room! Make Room!, is great too, and the plot is quite different, so the movie doesn't spoil the book or vice versa. However, it's extremely bleak.

Some more filters for blocking Shorts from YT can be found here.

Oh, I was going to ask why does it need access to everything and not just email, and that's why.

Perhaps the restriction to always have an image is the main point. Threads also seem just like Instagram, but without the photos.

You can emulate double shift in VSC. It will be slightly different since it doesn't automatically search actions and file names. So if you bind it to Quick Open as suggested by the link, you'll have to put > to search actions and not files.

Thank you, that was an interesting read!

That's correct. I don't think anyone would seriously call Python that today.

You're right! I stand corrected and thank you for sharing. There were already big JS apps (notably, Gmail in 2004) before V8 came out. Yet, am I wrong to think Node.js started the JS obsession that lasted for a while?

Artificial sweeteners?

I don't think so. This particular Cruise is a robo-taxi (source), not a fully-autonomous (level 5, or at least 4) personal vehicle. And other projects claiming level 4 seem to be more of a public transit thing.

Well, to be fair, Matz (the Ruby creator) called Python a toy language.

Probably when V8 came out. Also Node.js.

If it's something interesting I would really like to read, I put it through https://archive.ph first.

That is a very optimistic opinion, but I'm sure those GM cars truly are about as close to the fully autonomous vehicle that could fully replace a regular human driven car in its regular setting as ChatGPT is to AGI.

Yes, Edge ones aren't too bad either, especially the stacking visualization feature.

The same line of thought is quoted in a noteworthy article (archived) by Cory Doctorow.

I never liked them for shilling crypto way too much.
