It's technology theft. Europe has the tech, Taiwan has the experience. Trump is trying to do what he keeps accusing China of - forcing a partnership with a foreign company so that America can steal their technology.

Europe, Taiwan, and China all have an interest in making sure this doesn't happen.

But then you would get JD Vance.

You can certainly write a lot of verbiage to mask the bigotry, that is for certain. You seem to think you can win debates by typing endlessly and using ChatGPT to increase the number of words.

Plenty of couples cannot have children, and are allowed to marry. Unless you want to ban infertile heterosexual couples from marrying, this is a bizarre point.

The twisted logic bigots have to apply.

I'm sure many liberals, communists and moderates thought the same thing of the Brown Shirts in late Weimar Germany.

There was a very nasty surprise waiting for them. Once you gain the levers of power, and you are sufficiently motivated and unhinged from any kind of sense of obligation, decorum or constraint, you don't have to be a majority. You just have to be willing to use raw applications of power. Illegal immigrants are not the only people that are going to end up getting sent to Alligator Alcatraz. They're just the test subjects for the inevitable liquidation of all political opposition.

And even if he does, or doesn't make it until the end, do you actually think his allies and backers, and the Republican Party itself, is ever going to give the Democrats a chance to hold any kind of power again?

And this AC, even if trolling, exemplifies the kind of people that cheer on tyrants, always believing that only the people they hate will be targets.

I would be very surprised if farmers didn't rely on climate data that comes from these satellites.

Unfortunately that seems to be the tactic used by many businesses now. Taki Udon is another one, and RMC come to think of it.

Years late but OK. Do they work?

Are those features any good though? Google's voice transcription is better than most humans, and it's all done locally on the phone. At least with my wife's iPhone 16... Max? it's makes frequent mistakes and seems to have a poor microphone.

Another good AI feature iPhone seem to be missing is call screening, call menus, and holding. You can have your phone answer for you and ask who is calling, and what they say appears in real-time on your screen. When you call some numbers it displays menu options as text too. If you get put on hold it can listen for you and beep when the agent is ready to speak to you. I think it tells them you are holding and about to pick up as well.

It's self correcting in the same way that climate change is. Sure, life on Earth will adapt... But the speed at which it is happening means that people living through the adaptation are going to experience some bad times.

If I were doing it I'd look for an old POTS to SIP gateway device on eBay and use that. No need for a phone line, which these days tends to be expensive. Just an internet connection and SIP service, or he could even be running his own.
