When you’ve realize imitation isn’t flattery, just pure envy. I’ve passed this way before, interesting to see it half a decade behind trend elsewhere.
Anyways, a throwback to March, 2019.

Interesting (but nerdy) discussion of the current geopolitical #economic situation.
#US needs a sustainable model to reduce consumption, the #budget #deficit, and current account deficit.
Why not assess #tariffs on financial and #capital flows? e.g. tax stock and financial transactions. Of course there would be downsides and it might not be politically feasible (#oligarchs will oppose).

Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations
More than half of Americans reported receiving at least one scam call per day in 2024. To combat the rise of sophisticated conversational scams that deceive victims over the course of a phone call, we introduced Scam Detection late last year to U.S.-based English-speaking Phone by Google public beta users on Pixel phones.
We use AI models processed on-device to analyze conversations in real-time and warn users of potential scams. If a caller, for example, tries to get you to provide payment via gift cards to complete a delivery, Scam Detection will alert you through audio and haptic notifications and display a warning on your phone that the call may be a scam.

"Even seemingly innocuous objects were worth something. Otherwise, it is impossible to understand why, in Marseille in the year 1331, a man named Peire de Sepeda should have chosen to make good on a debt by invading the home of his debtor and removing, of all things, a tablecloth and two napkins. There is always the possibility, of course, that the debtor, Antoni de Serra, was eating off them at the time of the home invasion: the record carefully specifies that the tablecloth was on the table when Peire seized it. In this case, the value of the linens may have been incidental to the insult delivered by their seizure."
