You realize the original Star Trek was ground breaking in having a black woman on it, right? In addition, a large % of the good sci-fi in literature is showing the possible results of various societal and political ideologies.

They mention "Audible produced", so I believe the unlimited listening, will be limited to specific titles. Similar to the Kindle Unlimited service.

I'll probably switch for a bit, because I love the idea of being able to listen to a book for a bit, then decide if I want to continue or not. Often times I'm an hour in and the book just doesn't resonate.

The problem is that now Amazon curates what I can listen to much more specifically. I dislike giving them more power, but in reality if I'm paying $8 a month for a service I will much more likely listen to something for free rather than spend >$15 on something that isn't covered in the service.

I came to mention this. As normal, everyone is complaining based on the summary. No one even spent the time to watch and see how terrible it actually is. No one will ever look back at this video as the point where they decided to become a âoecoderâ. How hard would it have been to find a few kids and ask them if they would watch this if they had the option to watch anything else.

I really hope this entire effort by Disney fails. Aside from this type of attitude, I want to tamper down on the proliferation of these services that are offering exclusive rights to media. I don't want to have to change the service I pay for every month and then binge on specific shows or movies. Continually paying for multiple services is even worse.

What type of work are you doing? I would think you want to measure output, rather than hours in a seat. Is this some type of customer service type of job, where they need to answer phone calls?

You should be firing anyone who is not getting the job done, no matter how many hours they are working.

Because I need to do more than one load. If you want to do a load of laundry every day, it wouldn't matter, but my family always does a few loads in a row once a week.

There is a growing number of people with celiacs disease and with nonceliac gluten sensitivity. I wasn't able to find reliable numbers for nonceliac, but 1% of people have celiacs. There is no wide spread agreement on the increase, aside from better testing. My wife is celiacs and it is a major PITA. Many bread type items that are gluten free suck, so any more options there would be great.

Our high end services are the best in the world. Not everyone can afford that, but it is available to some. People without money have a lower level of care. When you put those two groups together, it does average out to be less in some areas than other countries.

I agree. Defund state parks, because Americans are currently too lazy to get out of the house. This means that the next several generations probably won't even want to leave their rooms. If the next generation does want a park, they can build it for themselves just like we did.

Why would people care what religion, race, gender, sexuality..... that a person is as long as they do good work?

And parked in a garage.

If we have users purchasing and installing hard drives we're going to have issues. We obviously try to understand the amount of money we're spending on IT (which this would negatively impact), but more importantly I don't want random people replacing hard drives. It may seem simple enough to people on Slashdot, but for the most part people are going to cause more work. Especially if they are replacing an hd. There are processes to make sure that data doesn't get out.

You'll need to back this up with something. We'll need a number of times the mentally ill are detained and the percentage of times those people are injured or killed.

It would be better to look at this compared to a fleet of cars that drive a huge number of miles in metro areas.
