This is a good post and I wish all the best to the author that someone from Apple can help resolve this. I will personally never use iCloud ever again because of this.

Any interesting finds on companies that tried to sell your data?

Not really any places where things get sold, but opt-in in the background for newsletters is bad in certain sectors. Ticket platforms are terrible. I like to use a new email for every event and boy does that lead to new round of clicking opt-out until I can deactivate the email after the event has concluded.

After Virtue was one of my favorite books, and it helped me get started learning about the history of ideas. I knew he was getting older, but I'm saddened to see him pass. In college, I had hoped that I could meet him one day. Rest in peace.

Perhaps a better title would have been "Skyscrapers of Shanghai."

Sure, it's a compelling piece of science fiction. Unfortunately we have no way of distinguishing between a verbal play-performance and a genuinely living texter with a conscious interior life.

This is awesome! I think a certain friend of mine would really like it lol.
