Google just needs to not return anything with "Sony" in it, as a search result.

Yeah, that wouldn't be evil at all.

There is little limit to how much safer things can be. Everything is a tradeoff. You do it in your own life a hundred times a day.

Understanding that there is something like an "autistic spectrum" was indeed great progress. But we now need to learn (or rather re-learn) that there is also a "normal spectrum". And they may overlap

How could they possibly overlap? Are you saying someone could somehow be in the normal spectrum, yet be more autistic than someone in the autistic spectrum?

similar but slightly different

Yes, that's what similar means.

It's why an F1 driver can walk away from plowing into a concrete wall at 300kph with just a hollow spike of material a few feet long between himself and the wall.

And if the cars were carrying lithium-ion batteries they would catch fire, which is the point here, irrespective of any LOLWUTs.

the morons who respond to advertising.

Everybody responds to advertising.

But roughs sure do. And that is where the two fires started - in the dry rough where there were most definitely rocks.

The only club with titanium is the driver, and that's used on the tee only. Using it in the rough is extremely unusual. It's very unlikely that two different fires were set by someone (a) deciding to hit driver from the rock-strewn rough, (b) creating a spark, and (c) that spark starting a smoldering fire.

Vegas doesn't predict. They set the lines/odds so that there is equal money on both sides of a bet.

Those two sentences seem to be in contradiction.
(They are also both incorrect, but that's a different and lengthier discussion.)

In fact, this is EXACTLY the kind of "evidence" they'd hide in such a model, to create a consistency and verisimilitude. :-)

In the beginning, then, there was nothing, just empty RAM. And the simulation suddenly began to fill it, starting from just a single bit.

A keyboard-mouse player will always be able to defeat a joystick player easily.

Not if they're both sitting on the couch.

Except multiply that by the number of planes out there... approx 7185. So it's actually over 7 billion dollars.

Give or take an order of magnitude.
100k * 7000 = 0.7 Billion.

This is why I don't own any Apple products, no respect for users.

Seems like they are showing the utmost respect for the owner. It contains private data. If she had wanted to be sure the family got the device and the data she'd have included the password. Most likely she "bequeathed" it because the relatives got everything she owned, not that the device was mentioned specifically.
