neolithic··on Apple says it will add 20k jobs, spend $500B, produce AI servers in US
"Four years ago, a few months after President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration, Apple announced an “acceleration” of its U.S. investments, pledging to spend $430 billion and add 20,000 jobs over five years. In January 2018, during Mr. Trump’s first term, the company said that its “direct contribution to the U.S. economy” would be $350 billion over five years and that it planned to create 20,000 jobs over that period. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

Is this just lip service? What happened to those previous investments?

neolithic··on People Are Turning Their Instagram Accounts into Bots
The problem is that Instagram incentivizes this sort of behaviour by greatly-diminishing the reach of those companies/users that have legitimately built their followers. I mean we see 10% reach of our followers (if we're lucky) with any of our posts. That means 90% of our real followers don't get to see our posts that they have asked to see (by following our account).

What's today's equivalent to WASTE? Especially on a Mac. How do people securely (encrypted) share files between themselves?

Edit: Can't find a mac client/server of WASTE. And some of those download links seem to be down.

Was this leaked by Snowden? If so, it might explain why France blocked the Bolivian president's plane from using French airspace.
