HTML/CSS/DOM sucks rotting eggs for doing real GUI's. It was stretched way beyond it's original purpose of displaying static documents, and mutated into rocket spaghetti surgery and still has common GUI idioms missing or done wrong.

I'm for an HTTPS-friendly GUI markup standard, by the way. Build it from the ground up for GUI's.

I would like to say how cool your Google+ login is. It shows up in your post like a bright red beacon. I once even wrote a haiku-poem for Google+ login icons on Slashdot. Take it! It is yours!

Maybe in the book. In the movie there is no science.

Although I don't think I can come up with ANY plausible explanation for the magical bugs.

Just apply the Formula. At a certain point, the opportunity cost of not selling your data exceeds the cost of getting caught and having to pay some paltry fines, so they effectively have a legal obligation to their shareholders to do so.

Just use AI to help generate prompts!

It is cognitively expensive to do this kind of task. Essentially you are expected to assume an alien thought process with no context or explanation. I don't think it's unique or novel form of cognitive load, though. I think it's very similar to what a therapist or psychoanalyst will do... you need a sort machine empathy to try to arrive at the same solution and judge whether it's appropriate. These people were trained as programmers but they're actually computer therapists now.

Clearly the solution is more AI.

I really like this approach. The next step would be to put ads directly into the source code. Soon you'll see comments like

/**
** THIS FUNCTION WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY EXPRESSVPN
** USE CODE COPILOT26 FOR 90% OFF THE 3 YEAR PLAN
**/

You could quickly monetize your open source projects this way.

The trick has been around since industrial spies noticed the first liar got away with it.

I wonder if stock-holders can successfully sue for lying about the cause of a sales slump?

Make the AI bubble pop already. I'll stop wanking off for a year if you pop it, I swear on my rosie palm.

Let's all get on our knees and say ten Hail Steves:

Hail Steve, full of vision,
Innovation is with thee.
Blessed art thou among creators,
And blessed is the fruit of thy mind, Apple.

Holy Steve, pioneer of design,
Guide us in simplicity and boldness,
Now and at the hour of creation.
Amen.

But Mg is too easily confused with mg, so if someone messes up you may be getting your prescriptions delivered via dumptruck.

That's a cool idea. Really dystopian. I love it.

Which is also mass density. Multiply by c to keep the units straight. (If you're a physicist, you just set c=1, and the units don't matter.)

I guarantee, if you have a mass density of M kg/m3 and you put it in Einstein's field equations, you get gravitation.

Bell Labs invented the transistor because the low hanging fruit of vacuum tubes had dried up. Some low hanging fruit is always dried up. That never stopped progress.

While true, the pace of the Next Big Thing is not necessarily constant.
