The 500+ studies that came before this one debunked it already. This is a nonsense theory from almost 100 years ago.

A wise man once said "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken!". ;)

PC's with "AI" slapped on the box are certainly coming. I'm not so sure about the rest.

Wouldn't the "fastest solution ever time" be for the business to have enough trained employees to handle the amount of customers in their store?

You're mistaking your willingness to do things yourself with why you have to do them in the first place.

It's absolutely bad faith to suggest that they would keep growing their wealth at the same rate they did when there was an induced crash by an external force.

Yes. When you get to McDonalds do you jump behind the counter and try to make your own fries because you think you can "do it faster"? or do you wait for service which is included inthe cost of every time you are purchasing.

You are literally paying for the cashier to stand there and watch you do their job and trying to find a cost-benefit to that.

Ads wouldn't be such a problem if the platforms that delivered them were more secure. There wouldn't be any justification for blocking them anymore.

Look at you figuring out your own value proposition and then making a decision based on that and not justifying theft of content that is not free to produce or host. Wait...

Only fools in this thread at the people that think they will get to watch Youtube ad free forever.

Let's be real here. People absolutely cannot live without their service which is why they keep jumping through hoops to try to block the ads. They *really do* want to watch Youtube. Youtube isn't going to lose the battle over freeeloaders.

So as long as you are ignorant of anyone else waiting behind you at self checkout, encourage stores to not employ enough staff to do the job that needs to be done, and only shop in stores with weirdly long regular checkout lanes.... and rely on the labor of others to help you out at the self checkout anyway.... it's great?! Oh, OK.

Yes. I am more expensive than a cashier. So if they want me to do it....

This is how we win and don't have to do the store's job for them.

Yeah, it's really weird that people don't want to have to do more work in their spare time.

Give me a 10% discount on my bill and I'll self-checkout every time. Saving yourself labor by using mine isn't going to be a solid business model for you.

We've entered a new era of braindead frivilous lawsuits. The Bar Association should be rolling heads over nonsense filings like this.

MOND isn't taken seriously anymore and has never been more likely to be right than wrong. Why is this trash being pushed on /.?
