Wait, why does a fucking vacuum cleaner need to be connected to the internet? At what point did no one think this was weird? I would never sign a device like that onto my WiFi (unless it was just local and not gatewayed to the internet).

and other least surprising stories of the day

If there are 10 other cars talking to your car, and 9 of them agree that there is an obstacle ahead, and one of them tells you its all clear, wouldn’t it be pretty obvious who the hacker is?

I mean...technically he’s not wrong? They don’t pay Internet Taxes, in the same way that Trump has never paid one penny of President Tax. Or has he? We’ve never seen his tax returns.

Uh...lets see...maybe something about praying for a pilot who knows how his airplane works instead of hoping his God can bail him out? Is that witty?

Perhaps Daenerys’ armies might launch an assault on Dorne, or perhaps the Stormlands, and open up a new front that might serve to protect King’s Landing from immediate attack?

I had no idea this show was in development, and its a good thing, I might have gotten my hopes up. I would love a shark-tank-like show for Software companies where the judges were actually developers and engineers. This would be great both for recognizing truly good ideas, and the comedy of exposing bad ones. Ah well.

You are arguing that the 1st amendment doesn’t protect you from the government from silencing protected speech over a private channel. If Trump called twitter to compel them to silence criticism of the government across their entire site, would the fact that they are a private company really matter?

I think Musk validated his presence on the council with this move. He showed that he was there to try and push Trump in a positive direction, he just pushed as hard as he could at the expense of further inclusion.

I bet you would have luck hunting them from electric ground vehicles. They are quiet, far faster than a hot air balloon, and can provide a stable platform from which to fire. But I think Texans would sooner walk then ride in a damned electric vehicle.

Yep....nothing says ‘saving money’ like launching rockets from the moon.

Can we just, as a society, agree that it’s not socially acceptable to play personal music in public anymore? Also, can we agree NOT to play music in gyms? If anyone at the gym wants to listen to music, they have their own with them.

I might be wrong about this, but doesn’t the government continually change the safety standards as cars get more safe? So, for instance the 1998 corolla might have been 5 star safety rated in 1998, and the 2015 might have been 5 star rated in 2015; but clearly they are not equivalently safe. So, when she says ‘go for…

Some people think equality means indiscriminate reparations for their perceived slights.

All the Worms samples really made this track for me

You’re totally overthinking it. They didn’t NEED to launch a DDOS attack on themselves, all they needed to do was a shitty job of implementing the infrastructure of their web services to handle large demand. That way, when the site inevitably failed under the load, they could call it a DDOS attack and shrug it off. I…

The scene where Gosling told Deckard he wanted to ‘ask him a few questions’ makes me think we’ll see Deckard taking a voigt-kompf test, which would be cool.

Go online right now and try to find a manufacturer offering the capability for non rectangular capacitive touch interfaces. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. If you’re not seeing the value for rapid prototypers; then just trust me that this product is going to be in high demand.

I don’t know, but ‘Boring Company’ sounds like the name an unimaginative Mafia Don would give to a company that was a front for his criminal enterprises.

Wait, is Larry short for Luther too? Because I know its short for Lawrence. Or was that a typo?
