Realist International Relations theory assumes that Russia and China are competing with each other. If so, Russia is in a world of hurt right now. It went west when it should have focused on securing its border with China. China’s influence is growing in Russia’s thinly populated eastern provinces and in Central Asia. Russia’s military is being weakened in Ukraine and it has become dependent on trade with China. China has won huge relative gains just by sitting on the sidelines and watching Putin bite off more than he can digest.
It sounds like Apple will get a custom model that they will run on their own stack, and they'll handle the product around it, so Google won't know anything that Apple doesn't want to tell them. That's my understanding of the situation, anyway.
But Google knows plenty about Apple users because they use the Google and GMail apps on their iPhones, no need for Siri ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great post. I often think about the remaining time I have with my kids and how to make the most of it. Also the data center build outs are striking. I feel Elon maybe should build a power company. The demand is there and he is really good at this.

Yep, certainly seems like it.
I wonder if Google can be trusted with this new relationship with Apple. They are likely to know more about us Apple customers than I would like
