The light has stopped shining at Apple for a bit now


I think parent means reflective. In the videos it looks like just a slightly different color. On the other MacBooks it is polished metal.

> That 30k number came from the same source the WMDs did - paid informants who knew exactly what they were being paid to deliver.

The Iran official number was still 3,117.

It’s not that crazy to think the number is closer to 30k than to this.


Many of whom were cops.

Trump and Israel are not backing nonviolent protestors in Iran. Theyre hell bent on provoking a civil war and are quite open about it.

Plenty of video of evidence of protestor violence if you care to look.

Meanwhile team genocide are trying to run a guilt trip on the rest of us

Because we care less about a crackdown on protestors by another government than we do a fully fledged genocide aided and abetted by our own.


Why would you feel guilty for the actions of Iran’s government? That doesn’t seem like the appropriate reaction, even if you’re directionally “pro” Iran because they’re directionally opposed to Israel.

(Ultranationalist/reactionary states like Iran and Israel love this kind of absolute framing, because it allows the state to ratchet, rather than de-escalate, cycles of violence.)


The guilt trip is aimed by people who support the genocide at meek liberals who might be worried that they're not demonstrating "equal" concern about Iran.

It was the same shit back when they used to accuse meek liberals of being antisemitic for criticizing some of the most extreme racists on planet earth.

It doesnt matter how Iran frames things. This isnt a "both sides" issue. Youll only get iran's opinion if you read presstv, they dont flood english speaking forums.


I don't know what equal concern means, per se. It seems normal for people to express more or less concern about individual tragedies based on their background, etc. This is distinct from being unable to acknowledge that any given action is bad, which would be the territory of an ideologue.

(I get Iran's opinion because I have Iranian friends.)


Biggest tell that a comment is AI: it's deeply uninteresting.

No one wants to read your ChatGPT outputs.


Not sure if serious but I don't think that's precisely it. To me, it's more that it rehashes a point until it's fully beaten to death, putting obvious aspects in a list, being subtly wrong, writing a conclusion paragraph to the previous three sentences... it's boring but not because of what it writes but, instead, how it writes it. Of course, it can also be inherently uninteresting but then you should have entered a prompt that causes the autocomplete function to ramble about something you're interested in :P

It also feels way too sanitised, like it went through some companies PR department (granted, that's because it went through openais pr department, but still)

Not even them. They use gpt to summarise the other's output


What if your car is already there?


I think this blog post reflects our thinking.

Beyond SerpApi’s self-interest, we believe the threat to the open web is real.



Yes, copy FSD instead that no CarPlay cult.


> copy FSD instead

They are. It’s also subscription based, however.

(For what it’s worth, my friends with Rivian are fine with its phone interface. As are most people who own Tesla’s fine without CarPlay.)


With FSD , that is a very very capable system in 2026, You need real multi media for driving (once it's solved), for camping , movies during charging, and not phone somehow ugly slapped by some plastic holder to your car.


Contradictory regulations is one of the symptoms of overregulation.

I.e., complying to GDPR means you can’t comply to cybersecurity laws.

US has less of those.


How exactly does GDPR prevent you from complying with cybersecurity laws?

For instance, one of GDPR's 6 lawful bases for processing data is in order to comply with legal obligations.

If you're going to make strong claims like that, the onus really is on you to give specific examples.


I wonder is the GP is referring to the CLOUD Act, as it is true that US companies cannot be compliant with both the GDPR and the CLOUD Act, but it doesn't weaken the case for European tech sovereignty.


Sounds like a broad blanket statement, have any specifics about this?

GDPR and cybersecurity laws are designed to be compatible, not mutually exclusive, but I'm sure there are edge-cases. Still, what exact situation did you find yourself in here in order to believe they're mutually exclusive?


All US companies selling to European customers have to comply with GDPR. European companies selling only to non-European customers don’t have to comply with GDPR. It’s all about who your users are. Not where your company is registered.


I think what OP means is that a US company cannot simultaneously comply with the CLOUD act and the GDPR. That case has also been made by some courts in the EU, that US law and practice are incompatible with the requirements of the GDPR. US companies who claim to process data in accordance with the GDPR seem to be deceiving their customers. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that companies in the EU who rely on US services, corporations in the US, and even governments themselves keep quit about this unpleasant truth. It means that Microsoft Windows violates the GDPR, Google violates it, every US social network violates it, etc.

Of course, as someone else mentioned, that is not an argument against EU sovereignty but rather one of its motors.


> European companies selling only to non-European customers don’t have to comply with GDPR.

Usually they do. European company processing personal data of non-EU customers falls with article 3(1) "This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the Union or not."

Of course if they do not process any personal data then it wouldn't apply but that's pretty unlikely (and if that was the case the EU customers data wouldn't fall within GDPR either).


Real answer are probably tax benefits for Ross.

He can now report a $100M donation, let it grow for 20 years, pay the actual donation, and pocket the remainder tax free.


It's called a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) and more than beng able to retain the initial investment at the end of a period of time, he would be able to take loans against the principal itself in the meantime (LALs).

However -

> The USPOC currently supports ~4500 athletes, or ~$22,222 each.

Machinations of the uber rich and the morality of them aside, they would've gotten nothing and now they're getting something.


But if he retains the money while its growing wouldn't that result in capital gains?

You can't claim a donation while still holding onto the money?


He'll donate to a trust/non-profit he controls that will direct the investment. That allows him to take the tax benefit today and keep the money


Not if he controls the funds. Tax deductions are only afforded to contributions if they are charitable and am actual gift. If the contributor benefits, it is bit deductible, and control of donated funds is a benefit, as is the ability to direct funds to a particular person or persons.


Billionaires can financial engineer their way around those types of rules quite easily


But once its in a non-profit you can't just take it back out for personal use can you?


No not directly but he can control it. So he can invest in a shell company that invests in other shell companies that buys shares of operating companies.

It’s not like he needs these funds to buy groceries or pay the mortgage. He’s essentially hoarding assets like all billionaires are.

This is a simplistic example for illustration, the actual financial engineering would certainly create much more complexity in order to obscure things for auditors and the like. But the point is that he/his fiduciary is the one controlling it all.
