The end goal is less than five minutes to dismantle a product.

And industrial shredder can dismantle a product in a second or two.

It might be an improvement in some ways; the machine doesn't have an ego and thus doesn't do stupid things out of an irrational need for retaliation.

I went through a big "red/blue glasses" 3D phase when I was a kid. I'm now 37 and to this day I have a slightly different color balance between my two eyes: if I look with only my right eye everything is slightly reddish and is I look with only my left eye everything is slightly bluish (this is, IIRC, the opposite of the lens). It's only noticeable if I specifically pay attention to it, but it appears to be permanent.

Sand is just ground up quartz. i.e. The second most common mineral in the earth's crust.

The article doesn't say though. Some neuroscientists argye that the initiation of action may preceed the initation of the perception of "willing it":

If that is the case, it could be there's a method of forcing movement that would be perceived as your own actions.

Is the "receiver" subjectively aware that the decision to move their hand was imposed from outside, or did it seem like their own spontaneous decisions? (Obviously they're rationally aware it's imposed since they have a giant machine strapped to their head, but what does it "feel like" from inside their mind?)

Nearly everything you do carries some risk of death with it. That's part of life.

As with most of the Republican "outrages of the day", this isn't new. In 2012 a Republican PAC called Americans for Limited Growth was doing the same thing:

‘Vote history audit’ shows whether your neighbors voted

As usual, now that Democrats are doing it too, it's the worst thing ever.

So if a cop ever demands you unlock your phone for them, be sure to give them the finger!

There certainly is an anti-trust issue here, but it's on the Hatchette side, not the Amazon side:

E-book price fixing settlements rolling out

In December, a judge approved settlements involving book publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Penguin after a federal court ruled they conspired with Amazon rival Apple. In the lawsuit, the Justice Department claimed Apple conspired with book publishers to fix prices in order to thwart a discount initiative from Amazon.

Hatchette is now trying to reinstate the price-fixing it just got fined $69 million over via other avenues. And of course all the usual idiots are falling for the "Ooo, Amazon evil!" propaganda because Hatchette is the publisher for a lot of high power media personality who can go on TV and pretend this is all about "the little guy" rather than padding thier own pockets.

You mean Ringling Brothers ISN'T actually the greatest show on earth?

...immeditately declared that the temple was obvious built by Russians and demanded Ukraine return it.

The use of speeding tickets for revenue necessarily depends on spotty enforcement. You need lot of people willing to risk a ticket because they think they're unlikely to get caught. The problem with speeding cameras then is that they catch everyone; if they want to increase revenue, they need to make the cameras so they only issue a ticket for every 20th car they catch speeding or something like that.

If you compare most active male to least active female, is the difference because of male v. female or because of most active v. least active? The comparison, as stated, is completely useless for drawing any conclusions.
