Apple Maps has such a much nicer UI & UX in comparison to Google Maps. With Apple Maps, I know exactly what stations i’ll be going through, and the lines actually match the real-life signage colours (Orange for the BDFM Lines, Blue for the PATH line) Meanwhile… Google seems to think I want to know where OTHER stations are along with showing me random saved pins which have nothing to do with my journey. Not to mention the fact the lines do not match their real-life colours. Apple Maps has a great ability to make the content you don’t need fade away, while Google Maps shoves everything in your face. So many of my friends have gotten lost while using Google Maps Transit directions, while none have gotten lost on Apple Maps Transit. Says a lot! Hopefully Google rectifies this at some point, since their mapping data tends to be more accurate in other countries outside the US!

Im so tired of tech companies talking about how they have “the next big thing” that was the beauty of the original concept of “the next big thing”, people just made cool shit they believed in without self glorification its like telling people “im cool”. you’re not.

the piano intro to “while my guitar gently weeps” makes you feel mischievous while also filling you with hope and nurturing your wildest dreams

This shows that *literally* everyone in charge in the tech space has lost it and is as dumb as a brillo pad. Well said @BenAffleck
Honestly, Ben Affleck actually knowing AI and the landscape caught me off guard, but as a writer, makes sense. Great takes across the board.

La France est attachée à la souveraineté et à l’indépendance des Nations, en Europe comme ailleurs. Cela préside à nos choix. Cela fonde notre attachement aux Nations unies et à notre Charte. C’est à ce titre que nous soutenons et continuerons de soutenir l’Ukraine, et que nous avons bâti une coalition des volontaires pour une paix robuste et durable, pour défendre ces principes et notre sécurité. C’est à ce titre aussi que nous avons décidé de nous joindre à l’exercice décidé par le Danemark au Groenland. Nous l’assumons. Aussi car il en va de la sécurité en Arctique et aux confins de notre Europe. Aucune intimidation ni menace ne saurait nous influencer, ni en Ukraine, ni au Groenland, ni ailleurs dans le monde lorsque nous sommes confrontés à de telles situations. Les menaces tarifaires sont inacceptables et n’ont pas leur place dans ce contexte. Les Européens y répondront de façon unie et coordonnée si elles étaient confirmées. Nous saurons faire respecter la souveraineté européenne. C’est dans cet esprit que je m’entretiendrai avec nos partenaires européens.

the whole iWork suite has always been really great, i have no idea why it’s not widely used
One of the biggest culture shocks working at Apple was that they actually use Calendar, Contacts, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote to run the company.

“we’ve made a crap product but don’t worry our brainwashed fanbase will glaze it”
People are not going to believe me when I say this, but my favorite part of the standard Model Y is this right here - the fold down center seat with cup holders. It’s such a small detail, but it perfectly captures Tesla’s DNA. Despite being a massive $1.4 trillion successful company now, the team is still scrappy like a startup, finding clever ways to save costs, remove parts, stay practical, and make the car more accessible for everyone. There’s something kind of cute, intelligent, and hardcore about it at the same time to me. You can tell the engineers cared about every inch of this vehicle. It reminds me that despite my success, it’s important to stay grounded and things like this. Like sitting in the back with the trunk open, enjoying a simple drink from this cup holder while the AI robot drives me places. While some cars have sleek, premium cup holders and mine has this more practical setup, both serve the same purpose, which is to hold a drink. It’s a reminder to me that happiness doesn’t come from how fancy something looks, but instead it comes from how much you appreciate what you already have. And I NEVER want to lose that perspective in life, no matter how high I am in life.

Anyone else ever try and overtake someone on the sidewalk and it turns out they’re walking at the same super fast speed as you so you give up, go behind them, but then slow down to give them tons of room so they don’t think you’re stalking them?

Can I just say how weird the youtube algorithm is. We've just put out a 2 part series on The Middle Lane, and all feedback is super positive, great comments etc and yet a very small amount of views compared to our other videos meanwhile AI slop gets millions of views
