Economics. Sadly, plastic straws and cups are cheaper to manufacture than their wax paper equivalents.

Maybe the mental health warnings should be for New York itself.

Mention middle management and right away IBM comes up. Some things never change.

Considering that a geneticist can look at a DNA sample and determine the race of the person it came from, I'd call that a rather glaring deficiency in modern genetics. This has all the credibility of a physicist telling us gravity is a social construct.

Sciences that consistently "disprove" the crashingly obvious should be regarded with the utmost suspicion.

No good deed goes unpunished.

The super heavy (ie. the 1st stage) have proved pretty reliable so far. They've caught more than one and even relaunched one a 2nd time. And even the V1 2nd stages were able to successfully make soft water landings. Its the V2 2nd stage that keeps 'splodin.

I trust that AI patents will continue software patent's longstanding tradition of doing nothing but enriching lawyers.

What will happen from this is tons of sites constantly going down for expired certs. Very insecure and easily hacked renewal scripting that will fail and bring down sites. Or site just going back to http forcing browsers to resupport it. I support a number of sites with certs and it's already a PITA for the yearly renewals.
