Great job. Thanks. Why the intermittant timed stop? Is it just to break it up since its a short clip? Like others have said, there are several projects recreating the old weather channel vibe, each with its own spin. And if you don&#x2

I went to law school and a few of us students were engineers. For our first set of essay exams, the professors all instructed us to "just answer the legal question" and not include extra analysis. After the exam, many of the eng

Our middle schools started out with iPads. But they switched to Chromebooks because they were a lot more useful. Also, apparently, middle school boys aren't that good at caring for iPads. :-)

My son went to college with his Mac. But a bunch of the courses required running Windows software. So we had to get him a PC as well.

So I guess the question is, when Sam says "and we put them into our agreement," what exactly was in the agreement? I distrust Sam. But if you were to trust his statements, it seems like he's saying he implemented in his agr

I'm confused. Sam writes "Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these

Even if the timeline in the question is off, do you agree with the premise? If Stephen King puts out a novel in 2026, when should I be able to sell photocopies of the novel without paying royalties. 2027?

And he's talking about an eventual price point of $30K a robot. So a bit high for early adopter middle class folks who are just curious.

"--Whiny parents" is definitely a major thing and not an outlier. For an older guy like me, I was shocked by the stories I've heard recently. ---Coworker's son is acting out in class and not following any instructions.

I think folks are mis-interpreting the story. To me it sounds like AWS was doing everything fine (and OP agrees), but he wanted to re-negotiate the $1500/month fee because of his under usage (maybe a cheaper tier?), so he sent an emai

Agreed. Although I could see making a case that a radio talk radio show might better satisfy a news format than an entertainment show.

I think the FCC is just enforcing the rule that you have to give equal time to all candidates. The late night talk shows used to get around this policy by using the exception given to news agencies. The FCC is just saying that the late ni

Just wanted to point out that this is the first instance of a correct spelling of "lose" I've seen on the Internet in the last three years.

In high school, I read Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five entirely because it was on a banned list. So it can go both ways.

I saw this video where this gen z girl was saying she preferred working for boomers who just wanted her to show up on time, get her work done, and maybe stay a little late from time to time. She said it was exhausting working for millenial

I remember in the 1980's, some rich guy gave a commencement speech in which he said he would pay for college for the entire graduating class in some high school in NJ. He got great press from this. But then it turned out in the fine

I saw a show where the listener asks at the beginning of the interaction: "wait, do you want me to try to solve a problem, or just to listen?"

The problem is that after years of people crying "facism" for mean tweets, lowering coprorate taxes and eforcing a national border, the term has lost any meaning. Maybe we need a new term?

I worked at a purchasing dept. where each commonly ordered part or service had a six digit item number that had to be entered. The CFO picked some company to do the new version of the software, and they decided to randomly assign new differ

Agreed. But you're fighting a losing battle. "Calling a spade a spade" is similar. Has nothing to do with race, but can't use it in modern context.

Some random internet poll said many people of race A agreed it was "not OK" to be a person of race B. Adams said if that were true, then people of race B should probably not hang out with people of race A that thought it was not
