0 percent for US companies into Vietnam is incredible

The fact Vietnam is wiling to agree to this show the ominous power of America 

Unlike the Felon-in-Chief and his Germanic capitalization of nouns, the Vietnamese trade officials realize that this will probably result in only a relatively small hit to their exports: it’s the initial US purchaser who pays the tariffs.

If everyone who writes a comment on this page will send a fee to Dr Seuss for learning from his books to read and speak, then I will pay attention to their views if they oppose AI learning from published sources. But if you aren't willing to pay everyone that you learn from, for every word that comes out of your mouth, then I don't see why AI should have to pay either. Next, are we going to charge aliens for learning English by reading the radio waves that are being sent into deep space?

That’s the point, though: libraries, schools, or whatever grownup bought that book that helped you learn to read paid Dr. Seuss’s publisher, who paid him and his agent. And school teachers, under the fair use clause, could make copies of excerpts of those books to help in reading lessons. Where does any AI outfit other than Apple pay for anything the engines are scraping?

But you’re on the right track on one thing: we should definitely start beaming Dr. Seuss books to the stars.

Most of the features sound fine, if you need/want them, but making the list font in Finder windows smaller? Nuh-uh, even if the spacing has been slightly expanded. That will not make finding what you want easier, particularly for anyone with presbyopia (that is, almost anyone older than about 45).

Damn kids, get off my interface.

They’re building the ultimate snooping device. 

It will track your every movement, everything you say and will spit out more AI garbage than you could ever imagine. 

While it servers will be burning the planet down.

That still exists?!

Funny, that’s how I feel about SMB.
