Speaking as someone who overuses sarcasm, I've found that no matter how clear *I* think I am being, others do not always see it that way.
That, in a nutshell, is the AI issue. People don't even get it right so how can 'people' write a program to get it right since we can't actually devise a test for sarcasm.
If I only had a brain, it would be hurting right now from overuse.
Have you actually tried using a Mac productively?...They are an absolute nightmare for anyone used to the Swiss Army knife of the computer world (PC).
I have a game developer friend who likes the Apple laptops for durability and weight and brings his to meetings for demos but he absolutely hates the keyboard and shortcuts and uses a desktop windows box at home for serious dev efforts.
The whole effort seems pointless to me. Ever hear of a PO box?
1. Most people without street addresses don't actually live near a post office.
2. More importantly, FedEx and UPS can't deliver to PO boxes and that means no money in their pocket.
Getting a bigger credit limit only to use it for larger payments just means you cost them more.
I can't figure out why you'd cost them more. Please clarify.
It's mostly an opportunity cost kind of thing. With every credit card I've ever had you pay no interest as long as you pay off the balance in full by the payment date. This means that, if you always pay off the balance, the bank is effectively giving you an interest free loan from the time you make the purchase until the time you make the payment. The bank could invest that money they loaned you in just about any other investment and make more than 0% return on it. Giving you a bigger credit limit just means they'd be allowing you to take an even bigger interest free loan.
That's the way the credit card companies make money off of _you_.
They also make money from a percentage (or sometimes fixed) cost of everything you buy. So if you use a credit card daily and pay off $800-1000 every month, the credit card company makes money on that account. They need to make at least enough money each month one way or the other to justify managing the costs of dealing with your account.
... giving you the feeling that your government cares and reacted to 9/11 and other threats is.

If you're in a democracy, get the cause-effect correct. It's all your fellow citizens who wanted the guvmint to "do something" even tho going shopping was probably the best thing to do, but Bush could have been more eloquent, perhaps saying something about all we have to fear is fear itself.
They expect you to remember WXY Corp when you're about to buy a widget or service they offer. Which is why they want their ads to be so obnoxious, so you will remember.
What we need are rule in place that if you are applying for H1B Visa workers, you have to prove you have done qualified job search for the positions and found NO workers to fill them.
The problem is that one of the "qualifications" for being an employee is called "salary" and businesses don't like to pay high salaries. To employees. They don't seem to have a problem paying CEOs.

"Hi Barbie, what should we do today?"
Same thing we do every day kiddo, try to take over the world!
That's just technogeek paranoia. There's no money to be made in James Bond-type conspiracies.
Barbie says. "Let's go shopping. I need a new outfit."
One thing I read was having a visible nose in the frame diminished a lot of the nausea. Stuff you don't notice but is always there as a reference makes a sorld of difference.
... When cruising along the lidar isn't so important, the car wouldn't need to stop quickly just because one of its many sensors was blinded for a few seconds.
You're thinking like a software person. This is hardware. If your Lidar is only 90% sure of what's in front of you, should you stop or keep going and possibly crash into something or kill a pedestrian? I know what the company lawyers would say.
...Drone safety is a serious issue.
Yes, next time it could be a terrorist with an explosive drone. Terrorism is a serious issue, regardless of ideology.
You're obviously not paying attention. If it's a Christian American crazy (such as Timmy McVeigh), then we say it's just a crazy. If it's a Muslim crazy killer, then we say it's part of an international religion with one billion believers and we piss in our pants.
It's a problem of social perspective which is _always_ based on ideology.
The cost of storage will come down somewhat as folks figure out they're getting screwed by the vendors.
But you need to come up with retention policies and rock hard evidence handling processes. Those are an extra cost
but the biggest cost of all with be if there's a conviction using the film. If so, you've got to store that for the length of the prison term for appeals and stuff. The cost of the cameras themselves is irrelevant over the lifetime of the "project." same old same old.
And it seems like a press release because there is actually a 3rd enterprise option: Google Docs. I mean, if you're going to investigate solutions, actually look around.
I have a bug in javascript that I can't fix.
I can't remember what it is now but it's documented in the code that if you remove the Are you sure? prompt (or remove the now-hidden debug statement), the code doesn't work. When you display the variable, or just wait and ask, then the code does work.
Every couple years when someone scans thru the code, they'll spend a day or two trying to figure out what's really happening.
first, define "angel" investor.
Now define kickstarter investing.
If you're getting a guaranteed return, it isn't called investing, it is called "buying."
Purchasing a stock certificate in order to hold onto it is called investing. That's different than "playing the market" even tho you buy stocks in companies in both cases.

This is.
No it isn't. He's just being sarcastic ;-)
No words for this idiocy.
I dunno. Maybe the PTO should just do it.
Can I still say that?

2. Why would a company care about someone who wasn't successful as CEO running another company?
Probably for the same reason NFL teams hire failed head coaches such as Bill Belichik.
The whole effort seems pointless to me. Ever hear of a PO box?

Barbie says you should Like Mattel on the fBook.
if a girl asks if she's pretty, Barbie will respond, "Yes. And you're smart, too."
So yeah, it's programmed to lie.
Yes, just like humans. It's designed to be your friend.

As an interesting (or not) aside, if it was named small pox then there must have been a large pox disease. That was gonorrhea.

...People are waking up and realizing they don't need to buy the most hyped and expensive brand...
But that's almost like saying Capitalism doesn't matter or that Advertising doesn't work. Oh the humanity.

This wouldn't happen if we could track immigrants like FedEx packages!
You mean it would track homegrown terrorists like Timmy McVeigh (Oklahoma city bombing) and homegorwn nut jobs like Holmes (Colorado Theater shooter)?
I think in this particular case, you could probably induce it in the kid simply by testing the mom.
Interesting, do you have a source ? (Aka citation needed).
Don't need a citation
Need to test the kid. Hell, he might be the first with a real wifi allergy (probably not).
