When your #1 justification for a controversial design decision by fucking Apple involves the elderly, clearly they're on to something.

The undiscovered bugs can always be fixed in the Windows Fall Creator Anniversary Blue Imagine S update. The fuck is wrong with versioning things the old-fashioned way? I can't even recall if Windows Anniversary was 10.1 or 10.2, and I worked on Windows 10 when I was at Microsoft.

A society that's still coming to grips with the utter ridiculousness of the IQ cannot be expected to be reasonable about artificial intelligence.

Can anyone please explain? That seemed to be the only useful addition they did in the past 5 years.

They quite literally don't make anything the way they used to. Do you think a single person these days can create a spreadsheet program that's of any good in terms of feature parity with the other offerings?

As soon as I read "Apple" and "overhaul" in the same sentence, I was waiting for the word "thin" to appear in the list of innovations. Being literally the first item on the list, didn't take that long either.

Not even Tor devs can predict the output of the new distributed RNG

Well, it seems to be down by about 10% from 4 days ago!

Or the NYT bestseller "I Am Pilgrim". In which the antagonist jihadist steals one of these vials to unleash smallpox on humanity again.

(But he cuts out some guys eyes first to get through the lab's retina scanner and we all know that can't happen IRL.)

a time when Mars was a mere 1.1 billion years old and nearby Earth was just cradling its first microbial lifeforms.

And Keanu Reeves was the upcoming A-lister in Point Break.

I swear I have no idea. It's a mystery on par with the disappearing jetcrafts.

I dutifully kept that link open for an hour but the plane doesn't seem to be moving.

.. how we have sent a rocket out of solar system, are planning to transport (and keep track of) bunch of nanobots to Alpha Centauri, but somehow keep losing 40 ton metal leviathans on pansy little Earth.

After the controversy unfolded, MIT disassociated itself from Ayyadurai's EMAIL Lab and funding was dropped. MIT also revoked Ayyadurai's contract to lecture at the bioengineering department. [1]

When talking about Trump, policies and logic aren't really part of the equation. Jeff Bezos is also a prominent libertarian and doesn't look like supporting Trump anytime soon.

Trump is a cult of personality. His words, his promises, his supporters and his detractors -- everything related to Trump has to do with his personality and not with any incoherent policy crap he tees from /dev/urandom day-to-day.
