0 Kelvin, not 0 degrees Kelvin. In practice his limit is likely 0 Rankine.

Why have automated calls at all? Sports are social events where people got to see other people who have trained to peak human performance compete against each other at popular games.

I don't want to see perfect play by optimized automatons, I want to see the earnest best effort on the part of the participants and argue about different plays with my friends later. The players will make mistakes, and so will the officials. That should just be part of the game.

Only if you don't live near a Staples, CVS, Walgreens, etc. You'll get even better results because (at least CVS but probably everyone) has dye sublimation printers, which are vastly better for photographs than color printers.

For other color prints, Color laser printers are not that expensive, but I haven't had much success. I'd recommend stick with B&W, and outsource color stuff to office supply / pharmacy type stores.

B&W laser is so vastly cheaper and lower maintenance, particularly in a sporadic use case, that it's not even a competition - Last time I bought a laser printer, the starter toner was good for 1500 pages at 5% coverage, and it worked fine even if I last printed something 8 months ago. Compare to a typical inkjet in which a full toner pack is good for 200 pages at 5% coverage, has to run ink through every so often to keep the tubes clear, and (for the last HP inkjet I owned) prints black text using all colors despite having a full black cartridge.

Caveat: if you are planning on printing addresses on envelopes to be mailed as a substantial use case, go with the inkjet. Toner fuses to the outside of the paper, so it can get stripped away by the sorting machines.

I’ve learned to be suspicious whenever I hear an economic argument made in favor of anything at all.

Nobody ever made an economic argument in favor of chocolate ice cream, puppies or Taylor Swift tickets, which seem to be things people actually want. The only time the economic arguments get trotted out is when somebody is trying to lube up a dildo to shove up our asses.

Even the dumbest salesman knows if he wants to make a sale, he has to convince you the product is good for you. When he has to tell you it’s “good for the economy”, he’s acknowledging there’s no way he can convince you it will be good for you, so he’s distracting you by appealing to an abstraction

Go to one hundred and five percent on the reactor.

I would say that in most stories about AI, it fights back when somebody tries to turn it off.

Why would Amazon waive the egrees fee? I don't see any upside to them to do that.

I was also assuming this was about a lawsuit between Microsoft (and/or CrowdStrike) and Delta.

It takes a careful reading, because there isn't anything in the summary that clearly states what we're talking about, but this is a class-action lawsuit against Delta by Delta's customers.

They know which way the wind is blowing.

You seem to be confusing sales tax and income tax, as well as state and federal governments.

What do you think a PhD stands for? Science is a branch of philosophy.

Totally agree with your overall point though.

I think they're in for a surprise.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, $200 in August of 1991 (the North American SNES launch) is equivalent to $484.93 today. So the new Switch is cheaper.

You are absolutely correct.

Do you believe that banks keep the value of their deposits in bills in their ATM?

If somebody's account ends up being bumped up by a couple grand because of some random mistake, there's no particular reason that books have to balance. ATMs won't fail.
