Tim Cook built Apple's supply chain into a fortress. Apple's software got measurably worse on his watch. John Ternus has one chance to fix it.

Google is stealing the whole Internet. I looked up Project Gutenberg on Google. Clicked on the link. Used the search box to find a book. Used Share to copy the link.

The local political organizations rely 100% on Facebook groups and Messenger for communication.

I tried to tell them that this was alienating younger and privacy-aware members, but they haven’t successfully pivoted to plain old email and websites yet. I even volunteered to help, but no call back.

Command Senior Chief Grisel Marrero, who led the effort, was convicted at court-martial and reduced in rank after misleading her superiors about the unauthorized system. The investigation revealed over 15 chiefs were involved in the conspiracy, which posed security risks to the ship and its crew.

That’s right folks: #AI is now “SI”! “From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world’s will be changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super’ as opposed to ‘artificial,’” Mr. Trump said. “So it’s super intelligence.”
