It does. Whether it can or not hasn't deterred our elected officials yet. But Don't worry: They aren't deterred by whether or not the laws they pass are within their power under US law either.
My first job was a contract to a network equipment manufacture. I spent most of my time in their hardware division. At least for that particular company, hiring was based entirely about making hardware. Lots of electrical engineers, a few structural guys to do placement, software engineers were only for the network management division. A lot of the guys who were tasked with writing the embedded stuff were out of their league to write code period, but project management was so physical engineering heavy that they didn't understand what was going wrong. So yeah, I've seen the same thing.
Sorry. We were running a little low on entropy in non-information bearing degrees of freedom of our information processing apparatus or environment. Sincerely, Slashdot
My phone is already doing so much. If I'm going somewhere I know I will be taking pictures then I bring a camera. Otherwise I get pictures of the first couple of hours of activities and then a phone that doesn't do anything at all. It isn't a convenience savings if I have to bring my phone and extra charging capabilities over a phone and a dedicated camera. Same thing with a fitness tracker, my phone can do it, but I've got better use for that charge.
The Mandarin or Fin Fang Foom would fit well with Thor, probably better than in an Iron Man movie, but that is my beef with the movies. Tony has fought robot, robots, and tiny robots because he is the tech guy. Thor has fought superstrong magic beasts, superstrong and magic beasts. Hulk has fought gamma beasts and gamma beast. Cap has fought corrupted super soldier and corrupted super soldier. Antman is changing the powers of the main villian to be the evil antman. Avengers was sort of refreshing but it looks like the formula will be swarm enemy, swarm enemy before we get Thanos. I want Hulk versus Leader or Tony versus a proper Mandarin. Get these guys out of hero versus evil version of themselves.
I had the same reaction to the criticism of Prince of Persia over the inaccuracy of historical middle eastern architecture. If you are bent out of shape about the architecture wait till your distraction by that is broken long enough for you to realize the story has a magic dagger that rolls back time...
From the cases that I've heard about puffery being used successfully as a defense, I'm not so sure that "objective" is as firm a definition as we would be inclined to think it is.
To make a successful political party, you need to start with a platform and a normal definition of innocent life. Then you need to modify your definition of innocent life just slightly so that you are "immune" from the attacks from the opposition about your platform's cruelty while making strong emotional claims about how heartless the other party is for not protecting category X's innocent life or category Y's freedom.
My congresscritter has managed to vote to repeal ACA 50+ times since it was passed. Got any ideas on how to make him stop? Letter writing didn't help. Voting against him didn't help either.
Estrogen given to a patient is medicine, what is different for testosterone? Is he making some sort of Paleo marketing ploy or does he mean that the product isn't going through the medical approval process?
I wonder why they came up with it. Google wallet was already compatible with the previous generation of Galaxy phones. I'm going to want a good reason to choose Samsung's app over the Google app, if I were even interested in using my phone for that sort of thing.
"I mean that sort of thing doesn't fulfil any use case." My electrical panel is in the basement. I'm adding a home theater in a bonus room in the attic. Since it wasn't dedicated as a home theater when the house was built; the builder wired it the cheapest way possible. Every light on the floor is controlled with a single switch. Now I've got a choice between two options: pull a permit, rip out drywall on three floors, buy a couple hundred dollars worth of switches and electrical wire, go through the inspection process, repair my drywall holes, repaint walls on three floors, and walk to the stairs every time I need to turn on/off the lights. Or I can spend a few hundred bucks on connected lights and be done with that segment tonight and control everything from my seat. It may be a novelty for you but connected bulbs are looking like a perfect choice for me.
I'm very interested in the HUD portion provided it is light and provides useful information, but the camera isn't particularly useful for me and provides enough social backlash that I don't want the HUD because it has a camera.
Motivation for Facebook or Google: maximum time on website. The most profitable reputation engine is one that feeds the user his or her own preferences back to them (Judging by my news feed Yahoo is doing this). This is exactly how Fox News or Huff Post works except that instead of self-selecting news that supports my worldview it is being done without any internal processing. You might could get away with expert truthfulness on some issues. However, the scariest thing for me is that things that are opposing opinions will have an assigned truth value and the best metric would be popular opinion.
Well my yellow-eggs-and-ham prototype started out pretty well but by the time we got to the green-eggs-and-ham stage most of the focus group users couldn't stand having it on their desk anymore...
"'from any cause.'" The study I want to see is how exactly, does sitting at my desk increase my overall chances of getting eaten by a shark or struck by lighting?

"So maybe Key West would be a better alternative." And the entire research team gives a collective: "Shhhhh"
Which is exactly why it was worded the way it was.
I have a coworker who is not vaccinating his children based on the advice of his brother, a surgeon.

I thought that was Branagh's (or maybe Feige's) whole take on Asgardian magic.

Nope. Clearly inactive people have 130% risk of death.

Sorry. I was really wondering why they think that I would choose their app over Google's?

Some mind controlled red shirt can use it to stage Kirk's murder, blame it on Spock, and now you have next week's episode too.

I'm so sorry that you've been mislead. That really is a picture of Hitler passing Obama a fake birth certificate.
