Universities are all about teaching. This will teach their researchers how to fake their research better.

And then, shortly thereafter, you'll have to pay to use your device with less advertising, and then you'll have to pay to use it at all, with the same amount of advertising for all.

It's not like we haven't seen it all before. Cable TV originally had no advertising. Now, it's just like broadcast TV, with 1/3 of the total air time being ads.

This is the history of technological advance. Technology is that which amplifies the work done by a person, and pretty much all technology has reduced the number of people needed to do a particular job.

Starbucks has free WiFi.

And most libraries have free internet access, including the computer to do it on.

And among the things they'd have to remove would be the spyware and adware, which would defeat the entire purpose of Windows.

Stamps aren't free. (And hand delivering will involve some kind of transportation cost.)

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

(But I agree, except this doesn't seem to be about free filing through third party sites, only about direct free filing.)

Virtue signaling is very important to maintain a steady flow of graft and corruption.

If they learned something useful from it, it was a success. It was, after all, a prototype test. That's simply how it's done.

If you require 100% success on even the first test, you'll never accomplish anything.

NASA hasn't really designed many new rockets since the 60s, only refinements of older designs. New designs, like the Starliner capsule, that NASA has been involved in the design of, don't exactly have a stellar record, either.

They also have always spent a lot more time designing, testing, refining, and redesigning every component before actually building the first prototype, to eliminate every possible flaw they can (and when they were working on new designs, they still had a lot of them blow up), where the private companies use the "fail fast" philosophy, of "take your best shot, build it, and figure out why it blew up and fix it on the next version." They get a lot more failures, but it's a lot cheaper in the long run.

And rocket science/engineering is never a trivial task. Ever. Rockets are some of the most complex machines ever built, and very, very small failures can, and will, cause catastrophic failure. No amount of redundancy can protect it from a leaky fuel line in a simple piece of tubing.

I'm not sure it's "doesn't know" so much as "doesn't care." I mean, how can they monetize mixed case searches for advertising?

Very likely, yes.

Not any more.

It doesn't matter on the FQND, up to the first slash. After that, yeah, it matters, because most web servers run on operating systems that are case sensitive.

Which will have the added benefit of blocking pedophiles? I'm surprised they're not talking that aspect of it up.

Gaming is a bigger industry than movies. And the same people who object to adult games object to bare titties and cuss words in movies. And, in fact, at times in the past, have gone after movies, ultimately to no avail. Games seemed like an easier target because the market has never come together to stand up for itself.

Until now.

This, too, will pass, and the blue hair brigade will find something new to clutch their pearls over.
