Tanzania may have the lowest GDP of the three port countries mentioned but Dar es Salaam has the largest population compared to the smaller cities of Mombasa and Durban. From what little I understand the Tanzanian government may be in the b

One of the more compelling new features looks to be Live Translate built into the keyboard for 48 languages using Private Compute Core. I'd be curious about accuracy but I'm glad things moving forward in that space.

After switching from Android to iOS one of the things I missed most was Google Now in comparison to Siri. Before I was far more likely to say "Okay Google" and get surprisingly contextual results.

I think this article hints at what may have been one of the causes of that change in direction. It appears that Russia faked black radical activism in social media in order to intentionally sow division in the US. But that action plays into

This excellently shows the problem with how value is currently assessed in the social media landscape. The "In case you missed it" algorithm-based organization of tweets and the focus on video to "increase engagement" at

This is a cool idea. I think this technology could potentially assist front-end developers and the designers who work with them even though there's still a fair amount of craft involved. Browser compatibility has gotten better on the d
