Grovel? I thought it was making fun of the POTUS. What made it even funnier was that it'd go right over DT's head. Excellent messaging- pleases the wanna be monarch, shows investors that he's willing to work with any country&

Reminds me of the crisis Spain had not too many years ago where there'd be giant buildings never completed that banks apparently refused to devalue on their balance sheets. The buildings just sat empty, not being worked on because the

They're going to sell glasses with cameras that analyze your life to better assist your AI in product placement. Set gentle reminders that three of your friends have the new fall color line Stanley Cups, and remind you to get one befor

and you'd probably want to take orbits/vectors into account, a djikstra-esque algorithm where the distances change is crazy. Also, our signals are usually going very short distances very quickly and are very protected from solar&#

Also they only need to be nannied for a couple years, so there's like 48-40 other years of their lives where they can spend the bulk of their focus on the kid they're nannying instead of their own.

I think the point of the post is that society has changed its stance on having kids. People who aren't purposefully branching out on their own and are just "going with the flow" of their external influences are more likely to

Ratings and reviews cost money to maintain. Anti-spam, compute, distribution, security concerns, etc. Apple should do whatever they can to ensure that developers who aren't paying don't degrade the service for everyone else.

I was programmed, I held strong opinions on stuff I later found out I didn't really know enough about and honestly didn't care about beyond the surface level bits. It took a media "fast" to get back to normal, and I stil

it's too late for free elections, we haven't had one since pre-Bush I think. Most votes are programmed into people and they don't really know it, and if they do they just don't care. I think very few people actually stud

Great from a security perspective, as far as mass stealing and swapping/scrapping parts for resale is concerned. I wonder how they'll prevent it now.

They will do a cost-benefit analysis, I'm sure, but most likely it'll just turn into small businesses not selling in the restrictive states, and large companies making different versions. One of the versions will probably be bette

Profanity largely exists to be offensive, and loses power when ubiquitous. It especially loses power when five year olds say it for every little mood swing they have. Nobody wants to hear offensive words from a child because it makes adults

Or they got what they wanted from it and are selling off the rest, like when Google bought Motorola Wireless for the Patents then sold off the non-googly employees, culture, and brand for cheap.
