After the first month, drivers weren't earning more because customers were ordering and tipping less

The law hurt customers without helping drivers!

The term "ad hominem" is widely misunderstood.

For some reason, there are people who think it means 'throwing around insults', 'laughing at someone', or things of that nature. But that's not at all the case.

Here's a helpful explanatory comic:

Apple Silicon team is cracked.

Training nanoGPT on M4 Apple neural engine, and seeing it deliver 6.6 TFLOPS per watt, roughly 80x more efficient than an Nvidia A100. Still only unlocked 8.3% peak ANE utilization.

Just waiting to get my hands on M5 Max cores, it will be crazy.

Spain's responsible conduct in opposing the Zionist-American coalition's flagrant human rights violations and military aggression against countries, including Iran, shows that ethics and awakened consciences still exist in the West.

I commend Spanish officials for their stances.

White House on Iran:

The rogue Iranian terrorist regime is being absolutely crushed.

47 years of tolerating and enabling the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism are over.

I think about this a lot:

Blackberry (recruiting) told me in 2008 that the iPhone was the best thing that ever happened to them. “Apple is marketing for us, growing the market of smartphone users.” BlackBerry growth actually accelerated after the iPhone launched.

“THIS WAR IS A MASSIVE CRIME.”

Aaron Maté calls the conflict a “massive crime and a huge catastrophe,” arguing Iran is not a threat to the U.S. and maintains a defensive military doctrine.

He says Iran was targeted because it refused to abandon its ballistic missile deterrent and resists U.S. and Israeli dominance in the region.

Maté warns the outcome could be “on par with and possibly even worse than the Iraq War,” especially if bombing expands or proxy forces are armed inside Iran.
