Another one would be: "whatever floats your boat". MLK is important mostly in US-History, a.k.a. for 5% of the world's population. I guess, at least the other 95% should not be banned from having fun with him. People will always be offended by someone mocking their (false, for the one mocking them) idols, be it some cult-founders like jesus or mohammed, civil rights celebrities or President cheeto-lips. It's a good question if it's better to have instruments for censorship or fake media galore, where uneducated people take that for real. But I also think, that especially long dead people should not be free for all to ridicule.

That might as well be, but in my experience, apart from multimedia, the only department in a big company where you will likely find macs is software developement. Usually not for developing software for macs - but a lot of developers seem to value a nice latop with a good cpu (as long as they are not doing some machine learning on nvidia gpus, obviously)

Why? Only 30 of these get built, they are a foolproof sign for marking the biggest of fools.

That will certainly be an alternative to flying drone deliveries (and sidewalk drines) in tge future. Only that the robot delivering the pizza to your door obviously won't be the "driver"

Nah, self driving cars will be rented. If fewer cars are needed because of self driving (because it's then much easier to share them), this will emerge as the business model for the car industry.

Nah, he's fine, he is only talking about drivers losing their jobs ant society in general. Uber will, obviously, profit from Robo-Taxis

I have a mouse that can connect to three devices and switch between them at the push of a button on it's underside and for the next three devices bought another mouse. because if I use that many devices, I'm sure not all of them have a usb port for a dongle I wouldn't want to plug around anyway....

Hate that too. At least, I try to get at least 20 gbps-cables with speed and wattsge printed in the plugs. Having usb-c cables that only support 480 mbps is the worst.

but this year has been a turning point for my usb-c usage. Took some usb-a cables (but no power adapter) on a vacation with me and realized that most ports have transitioned to usb-c. Until then, I've had anything in USB-A and had to get an adapter for C, but I find myself in more and more situations where it's the other way round. Imho the tipping point is reached and now it's accelerating. Just had to get a few usb-c to micro-usb, mini-usb and usb-b cables and will keep a few adaptors/hubs, but I've more or less gone all-in in on usb-c - can't get rid of usb-a soon enough.

why it's not possible to assemble those blades on location. It's not like they are made from huge 70m-pieces.

Seems like a stupid clickbait-headline to me. Everybody knows that batteries lose capacity in the cold, especially prospective buyers of EVs know this (it's a major argument among EV-critics). What's the next "crisis"? "The world's EV-Owners discover they need to charge their EVs?"

I guess the weakness in that analogy is that the real coffee table is a different thing than it's plan, whereas software is both the plan and the thing it describes.

Yeah, mindblowing. I had both, the disk drive and the cassette drive - but the latter one took just took ages for those 64kb to load (,1)

but take more chemical drugs instead (kinda understandable, hardly anything is as bad as an alkohol intoxination). Bars aren't allowed to sell chemical drugs, but users drink a lot of water -> make water premium. Obviously, in this case, it's mostly about greedy restaurant owners selling overpriced stuff to people who are so stupid that they buy stuff just because it's overpriced. Imho, if you pay $25 for a bottle of water that has been flown in from Portugal, you should be instantly disposessed. But while there's no cure for stupid, imho this is just one facet of a greater trend.

Still, it gives the old immune system a boost and has other healt-benefits as well. That seems preferable to "hygenic", which in this case seems no more than a word of compulsion.
