>invasion: an instance of invading a country or region with an armed force

That's rather circular.

>Dear Educational System: It was YOUR FUCKING JOB to make SURE that students had either sufficiently long attention spans, or skills to cope with shorter attention spans.

Nope. You're confusing schools with parents.

At least they're not made of T-1000 liquid metal. Yet.

How nice that daddy wants to buy a shiny toy to give to David for the holidays.

AI could replace a few dozen C-level execs and save as much money as firing thousands of peons.

>...the Trump Font.

That would be Comic Sans.

"A coalition of more than 230 environmental groups... "

Let them come back when they themselves are fully off-grid. Until then, it's hypocritical.

The issue I have with new datacenters is their expectation that the utilities should pay for the infrastructure and amortize it over 10s of years. But what if it's a bubble? (and it is) - the datacenters should pay for the infrastructure here and now, or everyone else is going to be stuck paying for it via higher rates in the future.

Your numbers are wrong.

The offers are for different things, so are not directly comparable. Netflix' offer didn't include buying their CATV channels (CNN, Discovery, Turner...), so a comparison requires considering what value those have.

You need to keep reading.

Troll.

Retroactive should have nothing to do with it. If something someone paid for indicates a covered medical issue, the cost is directly linked to that medical issue and should be covered.

It's a feature, not a bug, for the Artificial Idiot.

Uh, OK. The article is like someone had to produce X words for a school assignment. It's an anecdote, not news, not particularly informative. He can pay for whatever procedure(s) he wants, I think the article is just some after-the-fact way of getting his hypochondria subsidized.

It's preventive, not diagnostic, so it's properly up to the insurance whether to cover it or not - that's a risk/benefit decision they have.

But I would say that insurance should pay if the scan turns up anything requiring medical attention - early detection saves money.

>Why wouldn't they just outsource payroll to someone who can do direct deposits?

What the summary left out is that 6% of the US is "unbanked" and has nowhere to direct a deposit. And "That unbanked percentage rises to 22% for those with an income below $25,000." - CNN So it may not have much impact on your world, but this would seriously impact those who can least afford it.

In addition, Cashier's Checks are arguably the best/easiest way to physically transfer large amounts of money safely between individuals. They're free at many banks, and if not are still lower in transaction costs then most electronic transfer methods.

I went and compared prices for some RAM I bought 1 year ago. Prices are up 3-4X!

This will be a boon to the vomit hose industry!
