You know the prank where you leave a burning bag of dog poop on someone's doorstep, then ring the doorbell and run away? Voicemail is like stapling your message to that bag and acting like it's an acceptable way to communicate.

Don't think so:
If that's true, why don't we already have programs that can make sense of human questions like this in text form?
The computer from Star Trek was indeed not so quick to answer, but they'd often ask it to run simulations that would bog down all of today's supercomputers and and give the results, so it's certainly more advanced even if it has a lower interface speed setting.
This one weird trick protects government systems from malware! How does it work? The developers don't want you to know!
Sounds a lot like AppArmor.
Dr. Cox would call the side effect a major case of "deadness."

The illusion of effectiveness was the only real deterrent the TSA had to keeping terrorists from bringing explosives onto planes. Now that the illusion is gone, what's stopping them?
That makes a lot of sense. I've always wondered why Tesla likes to spend so much money on technologies that are Tesla-specific and have only fleeting usefulness...if they can turn them into government credits, they suddenly make sense.
I wouldn't be surprised if the battery swap stations do indeed work, but I'm sure the demand for them is tiny now and will be nonexistent in a few years.

Kids don't need to be taught to code - not because they're too young to learn (I was coding since I was maybe 10 years old?) but because there's already a glut of coders in the workforce. The shortage was a now well-understood hoax made by a few US tech companies who employ coders.
Agreed. A while ago there was a big stink kicked up locally because a government official's mistress was about to fly in but his wife found out and was going to catch her, so he called the customs officials and had the mistress held at the airport and then deported to keep his affair under wraps (or at least keep the wife and mistress from meeting). The mistress had no idea why she was being held at the time. Officially it just looks like she was held and deported for no good reason at best - or profiling at worst.
Of course in a small community, it's not in the news even though everybody knows it, on paper it's "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."
