What have Google developed inhouse that’s good since Gmail?

Android and YouTube were both acquisitions.

Either that or you’ve got some malware.

Much heavier than petrol cars if they’re not on a bespoke EV platform or designed poorly. Slightly heavier than petrol cars if they’re designed properly.

Eg a Model 3 and a Toyota Camry are the same weight and almost identical dimensions.

It’s weird to me the weight thing keeps coming up when discussing EVs but not the petrol cars which have been growing bigger and heavier for years.

Since September my wife has had about ten CTs, three MRIs, two major surgeries (the last one 7 hours long), one emergency surgery, weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments and about 8 weeks hospitalised including some time in the ICU.

Total cost: $0

Unless you count the cost of parking when I visit her in hospital, in which case I’ve spent about $170 USD

This is in New Zealand with a publicly funded health system.

On Twitter I’ve reported:

  • Pictures of dead babies/toddlers
  • Pictures of murdered people
  • Death threats towards public figures
  • Illegal videos of terrorist acts
  • Ads for illegal weapons (tasers)
  • So so much crypto spam

Things found by Twitter to go against their community standards? 0

Paid exclusives locking content away from other online stores. Basically trying to force me to use it is a sure fire way of making me refuse.

He was outdoors, with a mask on.

How does compare to being in an enclosed courtroom?

I started off with immense respect for Tesla succeeding in delivering a mainstream electric car, and SpaceX delivering on successful commercial space flight. Finally, I thought. A rich billionaire who might actually be doing good.

Then the paedo cave thing happened. Ok. Guy can’t take criticism. That comment as uncalled for.

Now? Holy shit. The guy is a full on racist, anti trans, misogynist, white supremacist, conspiracy peddling whack a doodle.

It’s tech news. Even if you don’t like Apple products, their buying the entire node affects everyone else.

Stupid decisions like paying $200 million for Joe Rogan’s shitty podcast certainly don’t help

Other than “this should never have happened” I see this as the best possible outcome.

Now we wait and see I suppose.
