After the stocks have been filtered down by human processes to things that have a shot, stock experts struggle to beat the other experts. Starting from scratch, computer programs and children might invest in companies producing perpetual motion machines or unicorn grooming.
I think it's less to do with fanboyism or brand loyalty and more to do with wanting to take advantage of knowledge of how the thing works. The novelty of figuring out how yet another UI works wears off for people trying to achieve things.
Otherwise normal, functioning people post, like, and share lots of garbage to Facebook that can be refuted with 30 seconds worth of checking as long as it supports their position or candidate. When I linked contrary evidence, people were angry. They don't care that their quote was misattributed or that documents or videos contradict their assertions. "Hey, I just liked it. I don't even know who this person is. Why are you even commenting here?"
I have always taken it as a given that people want to know the truth. I want to be corrected if I say something wrong. This is not true for everyone. It is sad.
People already fuck around with their phones when they are actually driving the car. They aren't going to be focused on the road at all after they become accustomed.
But taxing consumption places a much higher burden on those with the least money, as they have to consume more.
What? No they don't.
The rich invest it instead, and with your system make even more free money that they don't really spend either.
So the social injustice here is that the rich people don't have to work. True enough. The way we're doing it now, rich people don't work AND they consume much more than poor people.
If an algorithm can produce the commentary, then a format more orderly than paragraphs of text (e.g., a box score) will convey that same information better.
Most things said and written about sports are vapid by Sturgeon's Law.
Creative accounting has made corporate taxes for international companies obsolete. Tax consumption, not production. Apple Execs buy pizza and mansions somewhere. Tax those things.
I've had the card cloned a couple of time in the last five years, and it was never more than a minor inconvenience. Call the number in the back, tell them that I didn't spend $2000 on a strip club in Mexico, and they send me a new one.
It wouldn't be cheaper. It would be substantially more expensive because the research was undirected. Spinoffs come from solving one problem and finding a use for the technology elsewhere. If you don't solve the original problem you don't develop the technology to spin off. It's not the only way to do things but undirected research is difficult to fund and justify. Engineers don't go around solving problems at random as a general proposition. Students rarely solve serious engineering problems at all.
The proposed alternative to directed engineering for space flight is directed engineering for other stuff, not random engineering. I think space exploration is neat, but I reject the argument that it's uniquely justified because it's hard and creates spin-offs.
Curing cancers is hard. Building fusion reactors is hard. Detecting gravity waves is hard. If those things are more important (and they arguably are), then do those things and hope they accidentally apply to the space program.
What idiot would argue that the trying to cure cancer would be more likely to advance rocket design than trying to design better rockets? Why is the inverse considered a serious argument? It's just propaganda for people who don't think space exploration is neat.
Even if that is what they said I am 100% certain that they are lying. And how can I be certain? Because it keeps asking me to send friend requests to two different neighbors that I know by name and by sight but have absolutely no electronic contact with whatsoever. I don't have their phone number, they don't have mine. I don't email them, they don't email me, I don't even have their names in any electronic form. I've never typed their names into the computer - how could I? I only know their first names. But Facebook proudly presents them to me.
Do they know your name? I'm nearly certain that if they searched Facebook for you, it would suggest their names to you. (I'm not saying that they don't also use location data, just that there's another path.)

That's easy? OK, problem solved.
Wait, it's not easy?

I bet she used some bricks or wood or something, too.
No.

This will go nicely with my bullet-proof vest that alerts me when gun crime is reported nearby.
Also, things said on the telephone affect people "in real life".

Here in the U.S., we've eliminated ITT Technical Institute.

That sounds like a pretty strong reason for single white dudes not to rent to 50 year old black couples. ;-)
What? No they don't.
