Thanks for letting us know.

I define myself politically as a Classical Liberal and therefore I strongly oppose pseudoscientific positions like those defended by the Critical Theory folks (aka "woke").

I wholeheartedly support the Godot team.

We can't tolerate each other. We can't be friends.

I know some people will tell that people like me are wrong, people like them are wrong, that we are both wrong, but you just need to educate yourself politically.

Google should fight back at last years promisses.

Where is the feature of calling people automatically on google assistant?

Last year they promised they would call my hair saloon for me, and it's all BS.

Like everything they say every year, it never works in real life.

But I see lots of "journalists" praising it, while criticizing Siri as useless.

Where is their self driving car too? Never complete, they always promise "it's the next year".

Looks like I bothered some fanboys, the Earth still rotates around the Sun. I don't have time for people that refuse to accept the truth, and the fact is that "duplex" is not even a shadow of what they promised last year, doesn't matter to anyone but for fanboys because the assistant usage is exactly as you expect: Siri the most used, then Samsung's Bixby then Google's... in a market where Android dominates, it's shameful for Google to lose so clearly at their core competence, so they push so hard for their image as a "cut above the rest" that some people actually believe it.

This is in the US, where Apple only manages a 36% smartphone market share, and google assistant is available on the iPhone, but Siri isn't on non-Apple devices

duplex is available though, have you even tried using it ?

can you provide any basis for your "facts"

Siri being subpar when compared to Google Assistant is well established.

> Siri

Is this about Siri?

>> Where is their self driving car too?

Waymo is not a car company. They don't have the capability to make an actual car even if the autonomy stuff worked well enough to be used nationwide. Which it does not and will not in the foreseeable future.

They promised that we all be driving in self driving cars in 2017. And they announced they partnered with FIAT Chrysler automotive.

Google simply doesn't have it.

Google sells this BS to journalists, and they sell it to Wall Street. That's only why Google is worth $817B.

already available in 44 states, they’re bringing it to the web.

there’s zero rush when there’s a chance of killing people.

It simply doesn't work in any real life situation.

Yes, the problem of self driving cars is they can kill people, that's the whole problem, thing is that google is always promising that "they are here for all", "it's the next year", etc. it's all BS.

You don't have a google self driving car, and you didn't book your hairdresser via duplex, and you won't be booking your car or anything through any of this.

Those are the facts.

It simply doesn't work, at all.

Prove that it does work. Because it just doesn't exist at all.

You pointed to an Android fanboy's site.

It's not the reality:

This is to put it lightly....

Apple depends strongly on iPhone.

After a 30% drop in units sold (Independent data from IDC 1), Apple revenue was only hit by 5% in revenue 2.

Removing China for a company that depends strongly on sales in China may not be a very sound analysis.
bunnycorn · 6 years ago
Where does Apple "depends strongly" in China.

Sure is important for the iPhone, but it's not important for the iPad, Mac and Services.
