    In today’s world it seems that you’ll get called names if you just say that you are tired to hear about LGBTQ+++++++ agenda. 
    Do you feel that this statement is the evidence of bigotry? 
    Well, that’s then a problem with today’s world, if there are many such people. And it seems so…. Because a person can get just tired of even good things, if it is too much.

    Google is as evil as Facebook/Meta, if not more so. I trust nothing from the company in terms of not monetizing the data of its users in surreptitious ways. It even destroyed its own best-in-class search engine so it could serve up sponsored results posing as most relevant to your search. 
    It seems you forgot to mention that google explicitly marked sponsored results as such.
    So how is it destroying its search engine?

  • Apple Savings saw nearly $1 billion of deposits in first four days

    Thank you for the explanation. 
    I hope that some one who didn’t understand those things might learn something… But common, such basic knowledge: not knowing it is like a conviction that the earth is flat. (Disappointed in humanity)

    ...paid at the end of the month.
    Right, but it is 4.15% APY, which means if you leave $100 in your account for a year, that $100 will earn $4.15 a year. The interest is compounded daily and paid out at the end of each month. It's complicated to explain because the balance is constantly increasing with Daily Cash, personal deposits, and monthly interest.
    No it is not complicated. People just need to know how the interest works. And how numbers work lol.

    "AI" is just a marketing term that Silicon Valley has latched onto in an effort to obscure what these programs actually do. There's no learning or thinking or creating happening. It's just brute force data manipulation and it requires constant access to exact copies of the writing/art/music. Using exact copies of public domain content is fine. Using exact copies of content that the software company owns outright is fine. But using exact copies of copyrighted content without permission for anything other than "personal use" is a scam. 
    Like all other terms -,they were often invented to market e.g.. technology better. 
    And if there is no learning and only brute force, how did they created a program which wins at Go game (popular board game in Asia). To do brute force at Go is just not possible at the current technological level - too many options how to move. So the AI LEARNED! what good moves could be. But it is not convincing for you, isn’t it? 🤣
