Years ago, when this policy was first being contemplated, someone at google plugged a number, likely larger than this, into a spreadsheet analyzing the cost/benefit of spying on their customers.

This is just post-activation operating expense from their perspective.

Their brown wax seems to be selling well enough. Not sure why they would change it up now.

This is 100% correct. Evangelicals Christianity, never a beacon of rationality or clarity of doctrine, has now been fully captured by MAGA. There is no functional difference between Christian Nationalism and Evangelical American Christianity.

I worry this is only the beginning. I genuinely believe that Evangelicals will also embrace AI and incorporate it into their beliefs somehow. I also believe Trump will be divinized before his term is up - at least within Evangelical Christian Nationalism.

Relevant username.

Be aware Brody is usually a pipeline to Billy Bob

They’re like the microplastics of American society.

Pseudo-intelligence

Based on the photo yes. The reality is a bit more nuanced and interesting if you ask me.

Treat this as untrustworthy anecdote since I can’t find the reference but I recall seeing an article recently where a few of the key partners have already split off and formed a new firm. I’d expect more like that based on my zero amount of expertise.

+1 now, and that’s for introducing me to the feature.

Surely this soul wrenching image displaying mankind’s inhumanity to innocent children will wake us from our stupor.

My only quibble would be to swap “pay” for “invest” which captures both the dynamic of up front expense and expected savings from ending recurring subscription fees. That’s how I look at it. Every penny I put into my own digital sovereignty is an investment that will yield returns both financial and otherwise.
