iPhones also have this feature, for a long time now:

Rather irresponsible of the article to not point out these features on Android and iPhone. Did a cop or government official write that article?

I guess I need to start looking deeper into this, and the potential for importing existing infrastructures into pulumi's purview. But I'm hesitant - I don't want pulumi to pull a Hashicorp. I'm wondering if it's best to just go with CFN and Bicep.

That doesn't mean they will be around forever. Economic realities care little about whether a company is good or not.

VGER is coming back.

Anyone that thinks Paul is a hero is completely missing the point. Paul is not a hero, and as a matter of fact, pretty much turns out to be the universe's most terrible villain. He, along with Jessica and the Bene Gesserit, turn out to be responsible for more than 61 billion deaths.

Dune is a story that warns against trusting charismatic heroes, along with warnings against mixing politics with religion. The only hero in this story would be Chani, and I felt that the movie's portrayal of Chani was dead on perfection and actually an improvement on the book.

Dune seems like a tropish story of "The Chosen One," but in fact it's a story about warning us against these figures.

EDIT: Paul is the most terrible villain until his son, that is.

I never heard of any company promising price cuts due to AI and layoffs. Even if they had, I wouldn't have believed it one bit.

Republicans are a lot of things.

Christian isn't one of them.

Thanks, Zuck, we were all waiting with bated breath for your statement.

Absolutely same. I hate having them in my house, supporting them, and dealing with them when they shit the bed because they're too underpowered to run a fucking web browser. School systems need to stop buying these goddamn things and stop caving to slimy salespeople selling Chrome plugins for schoolwork.

You're not missing anything. It's rife with scammers.

There was a man here in north Alabama like this. He even sometimes pretended to be mentally ill, but he wasn't - and he was actually very wealthy.
