One place I don't mind algorithms is in music apps. I just got Weird Al, Korn, Tiesto, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Dr. Dre. That's one well tuned algorithm.

This seems like extremely bad news, and something that I don't think will be helped by any outcome of the current DOJ case against Google.

We spent most of May preparing for the Android 16 release. Due to our extensive preparation work, our initial port to Android 16 has been completed and is being tested in the emulator. We could have published experimental releases yesterday if this was a regular AOSP release.

Verified video shows Air India plane descending and moment of crash

A plane bound for London Gatwick carrying 242 people has crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad in India.

Forget about whether 100 men would win against 1 gorilla... the real question is how would 100 CISSP's fare against a gorilla?

They're scared and weak and already know they're going to lose this all in the end. That's why they don't want to show their faces. They know in a few years, Their Guy won't be in charge, and they'll have to be the ones living their lives with their faces on viral videos as the Gestapo who kidnaps innocent people without a fascist dictatorship to hide behind.
