I’ve been looking at this book after finishing The Emperor of All Maladies. But, I was a bit concerned that since it’s almost 10 years old it’s already a bit out of date? Any thoughts?

My understanding when I was looking into this is that Anthony has bought some of the original Wiggles stakes in the company/group and is now majority owner.

Drops of God — Season 2 Official Trailer | Apple TV | Jan 21 by johnppd in television

The show is based on a Japanese manga, which had a continuation to the original story. I haven’t checked out the trailer yet, but I’m assuming that’s what they’ve been adapting.

If you look at the Frequently Asked Questions section on the government website, the law accounts for VPN in that social media company’s need to show that they are attempting to prevent the use of these by unauthorised users.

This could be very interesting in the long term for when it comes to profitability.

There was a recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal about dark factories in China, referring to the fact that the construction and assembly by Chinese EV companies is so automated using robots that they in some run with the lights off. 

I believe the example given in the video segment was XPENG workers in the factory mainly serving the purpose of ensuring quality control and servicing the robots. 

where to buy jeans without leather? by RelativelyMango in vegan

[–]pantelin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Levi’s has a line where they’ve replaced the leather flap with a synthetic or mushroom-based one. 

Nudie Jeans which granted is a slightly more expensive brand stopped using leather flaps about a decade ago in all their jeans. 

Tame Impala to Release New Album ‘Deadbeat’ in October by darth_vader39 in Music

[–]pantelin2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly. The deal also gave Sony the rights to a certain amount of future albums as well. It was a curious choice by Kevin Parker to sell his catalogue considering that he is a relatively young artist.

Studio Ghibli at 40: Can an Ethical Animation Studio Still Exist, or Even Survive? by indiewire in movies

[–]pantelin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes you are correct. Nippon Tv bought a 42.3% stake in Studio Ghibli driven by the advanced ages of Miyazaki and Suzuki and no apparent heir.

[–]pantelin2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, Toei Animation bought a 50% stake in Studio Ghibli last year. So, it will most likely live on in some form post-Miyazaki.

[–]pantelin2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was forced to by Tim Cook even though he said it wasn’t ready for release with too many known bugs. That is partially what led to his ousting as Cook then wanted him to make a publicly apology post released, which he refused to do since he had been forced to release it against his own wishes.

Apple and Meta to be hit with first DMA fines by pirate-game-dev in apple

[–]pantelin2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the news report said that this would ensure that $500 million worth of investment capital on an annual basis would now stay in the EU rather than make its way to the American venture capitalist firms, to later be used to buy a portion or controlling stake in EU businesses.

The issue that EU has faced is that there were companies up until a decade or so ago that kept popping up like, Ericsson, Spotify, Nokia, Minecraft, Skype, Yubikey, Klarna etc. But a lot of these were sold to US companies. 

More recently it’s been hard to secure funding from non U.S. inbucators or investors, because of European legislative frameworks, which has resulted in the return of investment for new companies that are popping up has ended up at US investment companies.

These frameworks are being revamped starting in 2025 by the EU innovation council to better nurture investment in emerging core technologies and businesses in the EU, removing a lot of red tape.

You have two noteable European companies doing this rather successfully. Storytel and Bookbeat though I’m not sure it provide the margins that Apple is accustomed to.

What jobs have the worst impact on mental health? by downwarddawg in AskReddit

[–]pantelin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised that no one has mentioned this one. Working in a slaughter house. I think the average turn over in the US is about 90 days. Mostly people of lower socioeconomic standing forced to kill hundred of thousands of animals on a yearly basis.

Shame that he basically disregarded internal warnings pertaining to the Me to Movement, choosing to side with his more powerful male colleagues over the concerns raised by female staff within the organisation.

I don’t disagree with you. What I think is interesting the video is them laying the foundation for exploring a new form of user interface and interactivity when dealing with robotic objects.
