Great letter, but not a word for his friend, colleague and co-Australian of the Year, Professor Georgina Long?

And water is wet.

"God knows what it's doing to our children", as they used to say about LSD.

But those were better times.

And you could charge people 9.99 a month to use it...

Because tech shapes society. Because not every thread is only for SWEs. Because I used to work in the field (in mktg/biz dev). Because it’s a habit. Because I like the simplicity of this website. Because comments are, on average, better than on most of the web.

Does it count as Safari in stats? If it did, they’d have a 100% market share, wouldn’t they?

They need to get their browsers listed on AppStore, sure.

Really? I Never got a weird message from Apple about other browsers being bad or potentially dangerous, and I tried Vivaldi, DDG, Brave, Firefox, Firefox Focus, and I currently have DDG set as my main browser.

And of course I can delete Safari from my iphone if I wanted to.

I moved to Helium instead, but that nobody will pay is to be seen.

It does the job for me, but please do tell me if you find a better alternative.

That will fix it!

Press releases, which is what too much of what we call ‘journalism’ summarises anyway.

I'm not sure, but I know I'd rather own a Monet than a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT ;)

No doubt.

A certain percentage of users will pay for sure, and so, sadly, this is a sure winner.

I wish they had become paid services for everybody. That would have been more fun to watch.

I don't see it as merely boxing out competitors or integrating with the OS.

People have been going to Google for a quarter of a century, and I imagine they will continue to do so.

As far as I am concerned, I moved to DDG in 2013 and never looked back, but I find Google AI intriguing.

You start with a 90% share in search, I guess.

Me, not a SWE, I have never even tried Claude

(and I am not sure I prefer ChatGPT over Google)

isn't Google going to win the race anyway ?

I’m all for the truth, or even anything resembling the truth.

You can choose to study physics, or sociology, or how the human body works, or the mind, and how to fight diseases etc.

Questions bigger than that seem too big to me, but if trying to find an answer to those questions makes people feel good and/or live good lives, why not?

I was told to when I was a toddler, but by the time I turned 12 or 13, I had outgrown the phase.

How low can you go?

Nice, but isn't this format harder on the eyes?
