Rampant racism can KILL Airbnb. Besides, racism doesn't belong in a civilized society.
In my mind, industrial robot are still the most dangerous piece of hardware you'll ever work with, period.
I programmed welding robots for a few years in the 90's, and I agree. Close calls are common. I once got very close to breaking a coworker's arm with a robot, except that I released the deadman switch in time.
they can start by blocking yesterday's Trump-Pence logo.
That is marked as funny, but a robotic "turtle" that receives GPS coordinates and can swim to show would be a creative solution.
I have an uncle working with the electrical powerplants there. They're really working on it.
it seems to be largely the social norm that the word is OK to use if you're black, and offensive if you're not. That's a bullshit standard, and it bothers me. Either it's OK for everyone, or it's OK for no one.
It is really a matter of context. It would not make sense to call someone that word when they could not call you that same word too. If you are content to be called that word in a group, then it would be ok.
You have rejected answers here that seem quite reasonable to me, so you have your own criteria. Let's spin it around; can you personally imagine or propose falsifiable hypotheses for global warming? You don't have to give an answer for that here; its just a personal exercise.
Here is another way of looking at this: you are on the side of modern science when it comes to Evolution and Astronomy. Now, what is it about Global Warming that is different than those other two? Is it that you do not really understand it yet?
Doesn't natural climate change occur slowly, over thousands of years? Are you aware that the recent climate change pattern for the 20th century is much different that the historical changes? I encourage you to study this deeper, for your own benefit. It takes some skill to interpret scientific data while filtering out noise...to see the forest from the trees.
Oh, and FWIW, Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming *doesn't* qualify, unless of course some brave soul would like to make a clear falsifiable hypothesis statement for it
Rising temperatures are not falsifiable? Hmm..
Can your potential customers easily get in contact with your support staff before the sale? Once they get in contact with live human beings, the piracy rate should drop.
Anyway...this doesn't deserve to be on slashdot front page.
Slashdot is "New for Nerds", right? Can you think of anything more nerdish?
This may be a stupid question...

Those who run uranium enrichment machines. That's who.
Well, we can better analyze the samples they collect back on earth. Also, travelling the Mars will be hard on the astronauts, and the experience they gain would be invaluable for future missions.
