Purchasing an iPhone use to be a great experience. Better, faster, more Etc. Purchasing an iPhone 16 pro has been first time I’ve been very disappointed- 4 months in, new iOS 26 - base apps white screen, phone is sluggish, battery drains, keyboard horrendous and wallgarden is really felt

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

What the hell. Can’t use my meta raybans unless I agree to some new terms and conditions and social platform? #raybanmeta @theverge.com this is how a large corporate just fumbles the ball.

@boztank.bsky.social just some friendly feedback. This is a great product but the new update to the meta raybans is *very* user hostile. I should not have to agree to new terms just to continue using them. I paid for them. You’ve just opened the door for your competitors even wider.

Nobody is asking for live translation on their meta raybans. Solution looking for a problem. Just ship glasses with a better camera.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

As an outsider, why aren't more Americans protesting? I know it's not "your thing", but isn't there a point. Or is this all ok?

#grab app is dominant in Singapore and has the worst customer service. all AI based, no humans with a clue. Clearly a strategy of, you can’t have bad customer service kpi if you have no customer service. Totally allowable in #Singapore where the customer never comes first.

@simonwillison.net seeking advice, I am an average Joe at a bank, trying to convince a group of senior managers that declared we got a c500m USD uplift from AI last year - to think more wholistic and consider donating to open source (eg PSF). Last year they gave zero. It’s a battle. Any ideas?

for those visiting Singapore, twist the rules and go to *Burnt Ends _bar_* (not the restaurant) - its more fun, can have most of the menu from the restuarant and you dont need to wait months to get in.

The push by insurers to use Telemedicine is the worst thing to happen in the health industry. I suspect in the next 10 years there will be data showing its "worse patient care". Random doctor, 2 min conversation. Telemedicine was suppose to be talking to your existing doctor via VC.
