Since Musk tweeted about it, that price target has stuck for Gamestop.
The fact that San Francisco spends so much and is largely ineffective at solving this issue might imply that cities are not, in fact, suitably equipped to tackle this issue (even if well funded and motivated), and that instead a group which can centralize planning, concentrate resources and expertise, and deploy them where they are currently needed would do better.

Twilio said the Parler platform was in violation of the acceptable use policy (not just the use of Twilio services), and was told by Parler that they had already disabled Twilio.

The most meaningful thing they've had recently is the cross-org shared channel thing, which is awesome when it works but still onerous to manage. That was two years ago. And it doesn't open up that many new users, it just keeps people in slack longer (good for stickiness, bad for growth).
Taking information that used to be locked up, re-discovering it from the "ground truth" (literally driving every road in some cases), and then giving it to the world for free does ruin some business models based on gate keeping, but it doesn't harm the consumer.
So should society force Google to charge for Maps? How much?
I've been a PM for 15 years. I've watched the rise and fall of the "ceo of your product" mentality. Mentored dozens of PMs, interviewed hundreds. The one common thread I've noticed across a wide range of successful PMs (and absent from unsuccessful ones) is caring deeply about their team, what motivates them and what they love doing. If you can't apply the same empathy you have towards customers to your own people, you burn them out.
This is a post about how a major software update from a vendor is breaking their own hardware, and from a company that prides itself on not needing to be a computer expert to use their products.
Apple has a pretty broad utility patent around their trackpads, which requires other manufacturers to work around what would seem like pretty obvious things.

This app is only applicable in Kenya and was launched with the telecom there. And I'm not aware of any American company that doesn't let you pay with a check card and requires credit. It's just onerous to do bank transfers here because we have check cards. They are used like credit cards for online purchase but just deduct directly from your bank account.
Most commonly we'd see just weird things. Every other browser could handle "render this circle lightly colored, put some text inside it." But random versions of Safari would draw "solid black circle" with illegible text. Update the OS (the only way to update Safari) and the bug goes away. So we wrote work around after work around to make the same code that ran everywhere else run on Safari. And before you ask, all of our devs were on macs, but they weren't running random versions of the os where the bug was present. Or worse, the simulator in xcode wouldn't show the error but it would on a device. At one point over 90% of browser-specific bugs (and almost all customer-reported ones) were due to Safari or Safari mobile, despite making up less than 20% of our traffic.
Plus Apple keeps trying to stop people from running test infrastructure of every permutation of os and hardware. It's a nightmare and we just eventually put up a "safari may not work" warning on all our help docs.
For our team Safari was worse than ie6, because at least there everyone shared workarounds and knew how to handle the MS foolishness.
I rarely read rss on my laptop these days, but Palabre keeps the read articles in sync so I can hop on the Feedly web interface and resume at any time.
The best way to hide something is to mislabel it.
It certainly is possible, but the bar is high and grows higher the more people in one's life.
