Conversely, why do you jump to their defence? Large companies treat employees as a cost centre, and if a cheaper alternative becomes available then they're let go. It's not a huge leap of faith to assume so in this case.

I believe it's for people who want to design enclosures, stands etc for their controllers

Then perhaps the poster is drawing attention to the clever marketing, rather than the machine itself?

It's difficult to think of a worse way to waste electricity and water.

You have me in tears...

This is a great idea. A drone would also work, but would need favourable weather.

Thanks!

I would love for this to be true, but who is the Farmingdale Observer to make these claims? A quick search suggests it's a small town American newspaper.

No sources cited in the text, a quote from an "activist". It's not much to go on.

Was he the guy who claimed if the USA stripped out gun crime from it's crime stats, it was lower than all the other countries?

The banality of evil.

Probably to stop the personality. Coups are often driven by "soldiers loyal to...". Having a civilian in the role would pre-empt that.

OTOH a waiver undoes all of that. It shows how much of democracy depends on people following conventions and traditions.

This will not primarily be for rescue ops.

The "radar-evading" rather gives the game away.

I understand your point, but having an engineering degree is not just the possession of a certificate. It's a piece of paper that testifies that the holder has the skill and knowledge, and has passed exams designed by experts in the field.

The response given to Heaviside does suggest that snobbery was a more likely reason for refusing his membership, but that's just my impression.

The market doesn't protect all those kids who were maimed or died trying out your regulation-free skateboard.

A basic level of safety might mean that your skateboards sell faster, now that parents don't have to risk the health of their offspring.

What is the purpose of culture? It's a way of life. Arguably no culture has purpose, so do we force people to live in a different way?

Cultures and languages die out because they're slowly (or revolutionarily quickly!) replaced by another. It's not like there are people out there speaking no language because their mother tongue has died out.

And who gets to decide that a language has no purpose?

I don't like the way this argument goes.

If the SMT components are manufactured domestically say for military purposes it's going to be spread out all over the US because politicians pork barrel contracts for their districts and states.

Or possibly politicians attracting investment to their districts for the benefit their voters. What's the alternative here, a centrally planned economy?

I think the point is to remove the adversarial aspect and therefore see how they react when not under pressure. I wouldn't be surprised if OP does warn their candidates about it.

I think the first one is pretty likely.

OP, you can search for "site:getexample.com" which will list you any pages that have been indexed for that domain. They might have just redirected the homepage. Worth a shot.

The Big Short is an excellent book about failures. Really shows how, despite huge institutions and government regulation, human hype and bluster still was the main culprit.

The BBC made a good podcast about the busting of Enchrochat.

Possibly/probably only available to UK IP addresses.

I've seen enough of American politics to consider that copying a better system and lying your ass off that it's American made would work (tbh this would work for most modern democracies).

Or something like that...?

But isn't the cookie banner for asking permission to use third party cookies? I don't think I ever have seen a cookie banner asking if I agree to my data being sold.

My beard is graying and it's annoying me excessively.

So is mine, and now I've lost most of the hair on my head I shave it so completely bald.

But I've learnt to accept it. I don't like it, and wish it was different. There's nothing I can do and I have plenty of more pressing problems to worry about.

So I keep fit and eat reasonably healthily. So even though I look old, I don't have to act it

Wired have edited the headline to remove "AI".

Exaggeration is a key part of satire.

Did you visit Britain?

I think the AI talk is just the fashion now amongst C-level execs. Their product - no matter what it does - suddenly needs some sort of AI integration.

Frankly, this just gives more reasons to switch.
