I wonder though why they've been making losses for years - probably because of all the acquisitions? Looks like they were just another "grow now, revenue later" company that is now too big to be able to afford itself

... to the franchisees 🙄 To everyone else though, we'll get a livable wage.

And let's be honest, this devastating financial blow they speak of probably just means 1 less yacht for them.

But why do they want to charge based on usage? Their users are already subscribed. It's not like they run cloud services or anything. There is literally no cost to them except for the self imposed analytics stuff.

I don't fully understand why they need to do this. What is the cost of their service? Using the tool is already a subscription service, what else do they want? It's not like they have cloud services. They just want free money I guess?

I agree, I think a good compromise like school owned, locked down devices would still achieve the same thing

A calligraphy test is not irrelevant if you are studying to LEARN calligraphy. If you are arguing that calligraphy as a subject doesnt need to exist then fine then don't study it. But you don't learn it by asking AI to do it for you.

That's a very good point re: privacy. ARKit does work really well for scene detection like the room shapes, plane detection stuff etc but I was mostly thinking about the VisionKit stuff too (not the VisionOS ones) wheee you want to be smart about things. E.g. if you want to be able to detect text in mixed reality (like real time translation) or if you want to recognize objects not just by their shape.

It is going to be a privacy nightmare I agree but it is also severely limiting the possibilities of the software right now

Was eading up on the use cases for this, one of the big ones is mixed or augmented reality. But they don't give developers access to the cameras yet. There isn't really much you can do with it outsode of games like the Oculus but they aren't marketing it as such.

Marami silang responsibilidad outside of marketing, na sakop parin ng pagpopromote. Mga partnerships sa mga ibang bansa, policy building na nagfofocus sa pagdevelop ng tourist spots (hindi lang naman DENR yan, kasi DOT parin ang may responsibilidad sa tourism related facilities) - infrastructure, mga proyecto/partnership with local businesses to promote tourism. Pagaayos ng process at pagincrease ng quality ng tour operators etc (I think ginagawa nila ito to a certain extent, pero as usual low effort lang walang enforcement). Pagoorganize o pakikipag partner sa mga malalaking events (pagpili, planning etc). off the top of my head lang pero napakarami talaga nila pwedeng gawin, pero wala silang inatupag kundi maghati hati sa budget

Etong DOT wala nang inatupag kundi marketing. Yung Malaysia mahigit 20 years na ata Truly Asia, kasi mas nagcoconcentrate sila sa pag-improve ng actual tourism industry. Etong mga kumag sa DOT na mga appointee na clueless, marketing campaign lang alam gawin sabay bulsa ng sukli.

Lol I just remembered Elon's tweet that led to him firing an Android dev. Who's doing poorly batched remote procedure calls again? 😂
