You know what, I hated Windows Vista/Aero. I don't want my background bleeding through my work. I don't care how well Apple does it, it's a terrible fucking idea. #LiquidGlass

The problem with AI isn't that it's wrong 15% of the time, it's that it's close enough to right 85% of the time. Its wrong answers are just as confident, and if you knew the answer you wouldn't have asked in the first place.

I’m not an economist, so any take I have on a post-scarcity society will be riddled with error. Luckily, this development won’t upset the gold toilet owners collective any time soon.

Browser revenue opportunities: convince people to subscribe to your updates, sell access to your users within the software, or you sell your users information. Subscription won’t work when G/MS/A all bundle and give one away for free, and *not* selling user data is one of Firefox’s selling points.
It was up to Mozilla to diversify its revenue at any point in the past 20 years. Firefox's continued existence is way less important than the overall health of the web, which has declined continuously under Mozilla's watch www.theverge.com/news/660548/...
Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive

Watch seismic waves from the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar ripple across North America.
This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows how the ground moved as detected by seismometers across the continent.
