this major point of the discussion often gets overlooked: you need humans to build and maintain robots. so while that robot (that took a whole team of people to build, and will still require at least one person to maintain) might take some jobs off the factory floor, it also added jobs to the IT department.

This column seems kinda pointless.

$100 for a ~30min trip only puts you back in line with what the crooked cabs charge. So, a rare situation ends in a draw. Oh well. 

This is a band-aid solution to the main problem with individually addressable smart bulbs. If you don’t have the ability to modify your electrical system it makes some sense, but otherwise you get so much more return on your investment by just replacing your regular switches with Caseta smart switches/dimmers. Once…

Naw man, disliking this scene doesn’t make you a violent misogynist. You can be pro representation of women and female empowerment in mass market superhero films and think that this scene felt forced and pandering and a little gross. It was almost as if they felt they needed to have something for their female…

Can’t something just be fun without being taken way too seriously?

This will work great with my toilet on the go startup. Our courier keeps your car’s place in traffic while you take our scooter and go pee.

Money doesn’t make you smart. It insulates you from failure until you run out of it.

It makes you wonder if inheriting lots of money is a contributing factor to being stupid.

Each ground station can serve a fixed number of individuals at a specific communications rate. In rural areas, assuming that fiber is used, a ground station should be able to handle up to 100 homes giving…

AKA: “The Boomer Manifesto: Be as short-sided as possible, craft legislation to benefit just them, use everything up as easily as possible, pull up all ladders, cut social safety nets, light it all on fire”.

But my sand castle...

“Roll roofing ignition” sounds like a D&D saving throw.

Clearly they are mistaken about this being a Motor Home.

In my experience, older engineers won’t like it on principle (it’s “new”), and even as a younger engineer, I’ve never found VR to be useful in the actual design phase. A keyboard, 2D mouse, and a 3D mouse are just so much more accurate and precise than VR controllers waving around in space.

Reply All had an episode about this exact thing. Even the “VERIFIED PURCHASER” badge can’t be trusted 100%, as companies/sellers hire people to positively review their items buy having them buy their item. They then reimburse the reviewer for the cost. Thereby giving them a verified badge.

I mean, I wrote roughly 1,100 words explaining why I thought it was a good point. You can read those words here if you’re interested.
