For a good laugh and/or headache check out Google's history of "wallet" offerings listed on Wikipedia

This is the same guy who started a remote company then tried to pull a "return to office" move on his employees without much notice. I highly doubt they could build their own OS given their poor management record

The sell is a screenless phone with an AI assistant

I think you might be onto something. A research paper or thesis, when boiled down, is just a product. How the product is made is difficult to determine, and there's an inherent incentive to make it the best product by any and all means. But if it were instead a process that was facilitated and had to be done in-person, that can be controlled more tightly

That's exactly right. Even if we made an AI that could give us the perfect solution and had accurate projections to back up its assertions, inevitably we'd reject it because we wouldn't trust it fully. It cannot fix the often selfish nature of humans

Choosing Michael Ian Black for this is... a choice. Seems like he's been losing fans left and right over the years with his aggressive political brigades on Twitter

Many Catholic priests are gay, and it's sort of incentivized. Their view is that being gay doesn't inherently mean you're a bad person or going to hell. However, acting on gay sexual urges is a sin. So becoming a priest and being celibate is a convenient out. Also there's a priest shortage, so turning a blind eye is likely common

JerryRigEverything said is his recent teardown review that Pixel repairability has gotten particularly worse on the 9. Sounded like the battery was very difficult to remove

For reference, Illinois is the place Missouri folks can go for proper treatment (including abortion access). It can be a 4-5 hour drive from the west side of the state though

Honestly can't believe Google was so explicit in calling RCS an "open standard" and then turning around and doing this
