Singapore's population went up by 500,000 in the 25 minutes between the two parent posts. At this rate, their population will reach 2.2 billion by this time tomorrow!
That's because the link is blogspam that refers primarly back to itself in order to maximize pageviews. There is, however, one link way down at the bottom that leads to Festo's website where you can easily find out that Festo is a company that provides equipment for industrial automation.
The robots are a way of showing off Festo's technology in a flashy, entertaining way that gets them free advertising.
First, most electronics are already treated hazardous waste because they often contain lead, mercury, cadmium and other toxic materials. Adding a spec of gallium arsenide sealed in a plasticf IC package that will outlast the human race is not going to make any of it more hazardous.
Second, LEDs. Red, yellow, orange and infrared LEDs use gallium arsenide. Seen any hazmat warning stickers on your TV remote lately? Of course not.
Having gallium arsenide in a chip does cause it to be classed as being any more hazardous than any other electronic device.
The way Amazon says this works is that you get what you've ordered within two hours of placing the order without paying any additional fee or within one hour if you pay $7.99 extra.
The person you responded to was implying that the difference between getting something within one hour rather than within two hours isn't worth the $8 that it costs to get the faster delivery.
$14.99 a year is not expensive. In most places, you could make more than that in a year just by picking up two aluminum soda cans a day to sell to a recycling center.
For the time being, you can expect all inexpensive products that feature voice recognition will be sending sound recordings to a server for processing. Building the voice recognition software and databases into the product would make them prohibitively expensive.
You're not talking about freedom of speech. You're talking about freedom from the consequences of your speech. Freedom of speech does not and has never meant freedom from the consequences.
If violating copyright by pirating a work is worth 10 years in jail, surely fraudulently claiming copyright and preventing the distribution of a work is worth an equal sentence.
The quote didn't say that Colt, Smith and Wesson were guns. It says that they were men, which is true.
We all get that you're excited at the opportunity to be pedantic and show off your gun knowledge, but you should at least finish reading the goddamn sentence that you're referring to before hitting the reply button.
âoeIf you do become aware that something is there, there's a reporting obligation. But usually data centers aren't actively looking through their stuff, so it's reasonable to say that they wouldn't have come across that."
Most data centers don't make a point of snooping through all of their customers' data. If you want to open a data center that does so, let us know just how many customers found that to be an acceptable practice during your bankruptcy.
If you actually read the article, it says "charges will likely hinge on the degree to which employees knew such activity was taking place." Nobody is going to get charged unless there's evidence that they knew they were hosting child porn and did nothing about it.
Neither does Jupiter. There are about 100,000 trojan asteroids in Jupiter's orbit, so it fails the third criteria; "cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit."
The definition of "planet" is a fucked up mess that a small group of astronomers threw together with the intent of classifying Pluto as not-a-planet without really thinking it through.
Thanks for the knee-jerk reaction assuming I was doing anything other than correcting the misinformation in the GP's post despite the fact that I offered no opinions about anything else.

I wasn't aware that Adblock had an option for blocking only ads from large multinational corporations that dodge taxes.
You've got it all wrong, man. It's the fucking rainbows!
61 Internet of Things devices could let the world know that you lead a boring fucking life... oh wait, you're doing that on your own already.
The other stuff probably soothes the wound.
I think you should test that theory. Cut yourself and rub juice from a leek into the wound and tell us how it feels.

No, that can't be it. The protagonists in the story didn't fuck everyone in sight.

Flamethrowers aren't very good for removing snow, even though they're better than microwave ovens.
Well that's laughably wrong.

How the hell did this get marked as insightful?
The COGS on a $750 iPhone 6 is less than $250. A 200% markup is a high markup.
Are you suggesting that the free delivery in two hours will actually be the next day? Or did you not even bother to read the summary?

Skipping conventional medicine and trying to treat his cancer with alternative medicine for as long as he did was a much bigger mistake.

Not stupid. Just clickbait.

In fact... Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune all fail to meet that criteria.
