After the old iPhone SE sells out, there won't be any new iPhones with a fingerprint scanner. It was also less expensive than the iPhone 16e at $429.
The launch also marks a new approach to Apple's famous product launches, which garner media attention around the world. Previously, Apple would reveal new products live and onstage, at a presentation on its campus in California. In 2020, Apple stopped inviting people to live launches and started screening marketing videos on its website and YouTube instead.
Trump savaged Zelenskyy, saying "he refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing (Joe) Biden 'like a fiddle.'"
"In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only 'TRUMP,' and the Trump Administration, can do."
Zelensky's popularity has fallen, but the percentage of Ukrainians who trust him has never dipped below 50% since the conflict started, according to the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
In contrast, the Kremlin hailed Trump's comments. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it "absolutely" agreed with Trump after he urged Zelenskyy to "move fast" to end the conflict.
Both sides are trying to improve their situation on the battlefield amid Trump's push for a ceasefire.
Moscow Buoyed
Moscow has been buoyed by Tuesday's talks in Saudi Arabia and Trump's attacks on Zelenskyy.
The talks "made the first step to restore work in various areas of mutual interests," Putin told journalists.
Kyiv was not invited to the Riyadh talks as Moscow and Washington moved to sideline both Ukraine and Europe.
Putin on Wednesday said that Russia and the United States needed to work with each other if talks were to be successful.
"It is impossible to solve many issues, including the Ukrainian crisis, without increasing the level of trust between Russia and the United States," he said.
The CPPA said Thursday that its enforcement division filed a claim against National Public Data last year for failing to register with the agency as a data broker, and is now continuing to seek the $46,000 fine from the company following the bankruptcy court’s ruling.
Data brokers collect and then sell individuals’ personal information, such as location data, for profit. Brokers that operate in California had to register with the CPPA by January 31, 2024 or face fines of up to $200 per day. National Public Data registered on September 18, 2024, more than seven months later, according to the CPPA, and only registered after the agency’s enforcement officials contacted the company.
Although we don’t know the origin of the Lacedaemonians, the Spartans and Messenians of the fifth century were speaking the same dialect of Northwest Greek as the Dorian invaders who attacked the entire Peloponnese and destroyed Mycenae. The fertile plain of Sparta and whatever wealth existed there as a result of the Mycenaean culture would have been attractive to the invaders sweeping down from the north. After the invasion, the newcomers combined with the natives to form what would become the Lacedaemonian people.
With the death of the Mycenaean kings, the notion of hereditary royalty was erased. In its place rose the Basileus as a new kind of leader. He could never be a king because the king’s powers had been dispersed among the people. Priests served the role as spiritual advisors and the common people organized themselves in assemblies to handle local administration. The Basileus was left with (or took) the role of war leader and successor to the war leaders of the invaders from the north who combined with elements of local government. He was only able to dominate a small area – a single village and its environs because he did not possess the power to control more. Consequently, his war leading ability was confined to raids on other villages.
Crossing the road, you take the path up the hill to the plaque containing the quote cited at the beginning of the post. To read the plaque you look west toward the Persian camp. Above your left shoulder is the pass traversed by the traitor Ephialtes and the immortals.
Here's what Herodotus had to say about the end of the battle. "This conflict continued until those who had gone with Ephialtes came up; and when the Hellenes learned that these had come, from that moment the nature of the combat was changed; for they retired backwards to the narrow part of the way, and having passed by the wall they went and placed themselves upon the hillock, all in a body together except only the Thebans: now this hillock is in the entrance, where now the stone lion is placed for Leonidas. On this spot while defending themselves with daggers, that is those who still had them left, and also with hands and with teeth, they were overwhelmed by the missiles of the Barbarians, some of these having followed directly after them and destroyed the fence of the wall, while others had come round and stood about them on all sides."
I look up to the left and imagine the Persian archers by the hundreds on the hill above me. What chance would I have with a couple hundred of my colleagues?
All that remained of my visit was the middle gate which sits just west of where the Phocian Wall stood. One has to imagine the scene since there are no current landmarks near the gate. The water is hot (spa temperature) and flows quickly out of a mill race into the stream below. It comes out of the mountain side so as you approach you face the shear elevation.
There is no sound except the falling water. When you move away from the gate and the sound dies away, you're left alone with the murmur of the soft breeze.
The site is now an olive orchard and there must be 8,000 of them, one for every Spartan warrior. I feel a soft breeze which touches the olive leaves, making them whisper in unison. It's those Spartan ghosts telling their tales of battle. No other sound competes: no car horn, dog bark, or child's laugh to interrupt the message. Only the whispers.
The ruins are mostly post-Spartan: some Byzantine walls, built by people who needed walls to protect them. A Roman amphitheater is recognizable but it's new -- 50 B.C.
As you stand at the highest point and look around, you understand that Sparta was an idea as much as a culture. The culture exists only in what was written down while the idea is eternal -- that people can unite for a common purpose to become stronger than the individual. That unified strength can overcome the pursuit of wealth and popularity, which can destroy all that man has accomplished.
why have you started doing these other containers for leoai?
Just a place to put the videos.
Ah alright 🦁
