An additional level of this is that Reddit is itself crowsourced. They didn't pay anybody to write their content. I'm more sympathetic to something like the Encyclopedia Britannica or NYT or the movie studios. (Although even there I agree it's still debatable).

Everybody is so negative these days. Why not say, "I'm glad to hear google is doing real physics-based research with big potential for long-term impact instead of just chat bots!"

So far this is only affecting fools who pay up for such ridiculous features. The real problem comes when you have to pay to not have the thing you purchased controlled from afar.

Developing a landing capability that requires a trip to the moon to test must be a huge challenge. Want to have an external camera view of the attempt? Hard. Want to return debris from a failed attempt for study? Very very hard.

As we have seen even with any amount of theory and computer simulation there is still a lot of trial and error.

James Damore won a rongful termination lawsuit in California, the state that protects its workers from abuse by megabillion dollar corporations.

But good do see you're on the side of the CEOs and against the little guy.

Speak truth to the powerless!

It sounds good to me. The robots are standing in for Japanese workers who were never born. They direly need to largely automate their economy or they are going to be in a world of hurt.

As for the Filipino workers being 'exploited,' this gives them an employment opportunity they didn't have before. What's bad about it? It sounds like easy work.

My oldest was born in 1999 and the hospital sent us home with a list of foods that we shouldn't introduce to our children until they were three years old. I remember this because both peanut butter and honey were on the list, and one of my favorite foods is peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I have six kids, and I got in trouble quite a bit over the years because I gave my infants bits of my sandwiches.

What can I say, they liked them...

It's a bit funny to me that I was actually right about that particular call. Most of the times that my wife and I disagreed about something I was definitely the one that was wrong.

Most new parents don't know anything about raising children, and even the worst parents are pretty motivated to do a good job. New mothers, in particular, are desperate for solid advice on what to do with their new child. My wife isn't keen on reading the instructions for any purchase that she makes ever. No matter what it is that she buys I am the one that has to read the instructions and teach her how the thing works. That was true with our children as well. However, she made me read every pamphlet that the hospital sent home with us when our babies were born dozens of times over. If she thought I was interpreting them incorrectly she would wait a bit, cross examine me again, and force me to show references. If one of those pamphlets would have said that the best way to insure that the child grew up healthy and strong would be to murder the father and sprinkle his blood over the baby by the light of a full moon then I probably wouldn't have survived the first full moon after my daughter was born.

Someone in the medical community decided that the best way to protect children was to keep them away from certain allergens, and they put that opinion into the pamphlets that get given out to new parents. I am sure that the people that came up with that strategy meant well, but in they theory was proven incorrect.

What do you think - thicker display cases?

A lot of security goes towards making sure people can't sneak in, but these guys didn't play by those rules anyways.

100 is a lot more than 4, but there's still no way it weeded peanut allergies out of the gene pool!

"peanut allergy is the leading cause of death from anaphylaxis due to food, particularly in teenagers, though the rate is low. The national food allergy death registry reports fewer than four deaths per year over the past 10 years in the US."

4 deaths per year nationwide!

It's one of these things where there is so much written and discussed about a niche issue that all the information leaves people grossly misled more than informed.

Self-hosted Atlassian products seem to be just fine.

As for what "they said", they also said this cloud shit would be cheaper. It isn't.

It's not DNS!

It's not DNS!

I promise it's not DNS!

Dammit, it's DNS...

A private company issuing its own currency and selling it to us at a profit? Why, that's just like the Federal Reserve, which despite the name is a private company just like Apple or Microsoft. Imagine the government appointing the boards of those companies and you get the idea. Why do we need a company to sell our own money to us? Why can't the US Treasury just print it instead? JFK had the same idea and issued United States Notes. He was assassinated shortly thereafter. LBJ immediately ended the program.

United States Notes are collectors' curios today. My grandfather had some, along with rolls of silver quarters before the Fed turned them into worthless nickel-clad copper.

Editing a spreadsheet with OpenOffice. It crashed and said it didn't have permission to write to some directory in C:/user. 30 minutes of work lost. I get it, fixing bugs is boring and open source developers prioritize new features because that's what gets them their next gig. Report the bug? Tried that many times back in the day. Gets marked notabug or wontfix and I was rudely toly told off to fix it myself or hire someone to fix it. Won't get fooled again.

Proven by the fact that most people immediately put it into a case that is now thicker than the phone itself.
