It's easier to be fastest-growing when you're smaller.

Yet another example of ~~lying~~ hyperbole with statistics.

Just so long as you don't live in a right to Wolf state.

Individual human failures are often a symptom of broader and larger systemic problems. Pointing out these systemic problems is not over reach.

Every American should report the inaccurate name to Google repeatedly until they change it back. How many reports would it take to at least inconvenience Google?

I pretty sure that's not what non-Eucludian means. It's not just built on a rounded surface. The lines of latitude and longitude we define on a globe may exhibit non-Eucludian geometry, but that doesn't mean your house is non-Eucludian.

These things are non-Eucludian: parallel lines that diverge or converge; triangles with interior angles don't add up to 180 degrees; hallways that appear perfectly straight, but also intersect with themselves; square rooms where every wall is perpendicular, but opposite walls aren't always parallel. Brain breaking stuff, not "all of our geometry". That would be dumb.

PCs are already modular though, and have been for basically the entire time people have used the term, unless you buy them from a vendor like Dell or HP. This article isn't about Intel creating some new universal standard, it's about Intel creating yet another competing standard (that they control) so they can get in on the vendor lock-in party.

They must have been storing your password in plaintext on their end in order for that to work.

Wheels are so boring! Why can't they just innovate?!

This video says it both ways I've heard. The white people around me pronounce it like the one with the union jack (heavy emphasis on the B), the Spanish speakers pronounce it more like the version with the American flag background (ironic). Most of the other pronunciation videos I could find seem to be made by AI voices and mangle the pronunciation in a myriad of ways. This other video has an actual person speaking well (I can't speak to the rest of the content of the video).
