Your lack of perception is irrelevant.

And now we see what it stems from, a total lack of logic. Run along now.

Again, people with no experience maybe.

Yes, but not his bankruptcies. That's something his accountants learned after his five or six bankruptcies. The YOB always demands his money up front and he never puts any of his own money into anything. The risk goes to the "investors" in the increasingly worthless brand (which I now decline to use). Mostly makes me wonder where the YOB is squandering the loot...

Not a bad FP branch though I think there was more room for Funny.

On the serious side, I think this picture is not worth a thousand words. The medical application really calls for chemical analysis. Even genetic analysis if an actual doctor wants to know what is really going on in there.

But I mostly wanted an excuse to cite Toire No Himitsu . Sorry, but it hasn't been translated into English and that seems quite unlikely, too. It would probably be "The Secrets of Toilets". Mostly about the development of the washlet. It's Volume 22 in one of Gakken's series of books about secrets. (Currently passing Volume 224...) Each volume has a corporate sponsor. That's Toto in the case of Volume 22. (I've read the entire series, starting with "The Secrets of Hamburgers" sponsored by McDonald's.)

Thanks for clarifying. Reminds me of some books I've read about fonts... Sounds like you don't need the citations.

But I was going for Funny.

What you said was dumb because what we need is to reduce emissions further than our weak targets. Also automakers do NOT have any trouble meeting the targets. They could have met those targets years ago, but they would have had to make less exciting vehicles. You're putting your excitement over sustainability. This explains why you support a child molester's tampering with the future.

You cannot make a market freer by removing all regulations. That's a total misunderstanding of how markets work.

"R&D is a sunk cost, especially if it was subsidized. Nobody's going to try to recoup it"

Wat

(etc.)

That's all true if your goal is to serve customers, as opposed to spying on them.

It's happening now. There are serious effects now. And there is mostly a lot of thumb-sitting going on.

Yes, for profit.

AI is chewing through NATURAL RESOURCES faster.

We don't have to pretend, we can see it happening right now. Or rather, not happening.

Nonsense.

Why would I care? I don't speak a language for which call quality matters.

Paying three times as much or more for someone else to keep records for you is dumb. My phone keeps records for me.

Using the word "even" here implies that we would expect Microsoft to be competent, but no one with experience with Microsoft expects that.

You win teh funny. They really have fucked Notepad up bad.

Its corporate directives - ultimately its about pumping company valuation for which new money is sexier than old money. In Microsoft's case their stock valuation is predicated upon AI, so anything else is de-prioritized.
