Is Amazon trying to have Alexa have the same functionality as all "personal assistants"? I'm not sure I want a personal assistant with the capabilities of Bill Clinton's.
So, you admit to having trouble understanding your own countrymen but complain that Americans have problems not understanding foreigners? Something seems just a tad off here. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly seems wrong about your attitude but maybe somebody else can.
So, we are complaining that Apple is using "app" as an abbreviation for "application" because "app" was previously used in some box scores as an abbreviation for "appearances"?
I am assuming that the very fact that we have 2 words (in English) to describe the various ways that the a word can have multiple meanings (one for if they sound the same and one for if they sound different), that this phenomenon is not restricted to Apple and Applebees (free apps after 10 or whenever).
"Universal Basic Income" is simply your name for what mspohr earlier described as "We just tax the 1% and redistribute the money to everyone else." We basically have it today and it does not incentive most of its recipients to produce anything of value.
That is almost as bad as people trying to get a class action suit going against Lowes and Home Depot for selling 2x4s that are actually 1.5 x 3.5, etc.
"Well then raising taxes is not taking." Shows what a total idiot GameboyRMH is.
When I earn money, that money is mine. Anything the government requires me to give under threat of violence and imprisonment is taking. Taking less is still taking. It does not become giving until the taking is less than zero, like what happens with those at the bottom. And yes, if the government ceases to give them money then it is not taking anything from them.
Seriously! Where did this asinine idea that every damn thing belongs to "the government" and we should be grateful for every little crumb they let us keep come from. No wonder people are so enamored with the idea of Communism.
I've seen what hail can do to tempered automotive glass. I've seen how much better asphalt and shake shingles handle that same hail.
But yeah, everybody forgets about all of us not living on a coast. The evidence for that is all the head scratching trying to figure out why Hillary didn't win and why it takes 5 hours to fly from New York to LA.
Oh, imagine that. Somebody suggested that you might need to start paying your own way in the world. How disgusting, vile and evil of the man.
To hear Europe complain about Trump suggesting that maybe they should actually pay for the services they receive reminds me of all those Millenials that were "feeling the Bern". At some point, kids have to grow up and take care of themselves or start paying mom and dad some rent.
How about due to the fact that Europe has been neglecting its own defense in favor of being good socialists and all while allowing others to defend them.
Kind of like how the little kids go about their day playing at being grownup while the real grownups spend their days putting food on the table and a roof overhead and keeping the bad guys a way.
Yeah, that is exactly why the US spends so much on military spending compared to the rest of the world and is one of the things our next President listed as a problem during his campaign. Whether he follows through or not is left to be seen.
So confusing. First the US spends way too much but then we will produce it to "appropriate" levels only because an idiot says to. I'm not quite sure you have the wording correct.
Uh, I'm pretty certain that the US spends more than 2% on the military and we are ridiculed constantly by most of the rest of NATO for spending so much. The only reason the rest of NATO can afford to spend so little is that the US spends so much.
Well, he didn't agree to the Paris agreements and, technically, neither has the US. The fact that a few people who will most likely be nothing more than private citizens a few months from now agreed to them means nothing. Contrary to popular opinion, Obama is not the King of the USA and cannot make international agreements that have the force of law in the US. US presidents are only allowed to tell such agreement forming committees that they will ask that the Senate agree to turn them into law back home. I'm not even sure Obama even bothered to ask the Senate about some of them.
Well of course the Founding Fathers didn't want some guy to have to ride down to Alabama on horseback to get the vote count. They expected the guy in Alabama to send it to DC. I find it absolutely hilarious that people actually believe the Electoral College was put into place because they believe that the Founding Fathers didn't understand how to add up numbers brought to them from various states but could only figure out how to have those various states send some number of people and count the number of people. Oh yeah, and completely forgetting that the number of people sent by each state was determined by sending out people to count how many people lived in each state and return to DC with the results.
(Yes, I understand that it wasn't actually DC at the time of the writing of the US Constitution.)
Uh, have you already forgotten Hillary's awesome little love-in with Putin? You know, where she got all schmaltzy and handed him the the big red button as she was resetting the relationship with him because he wasn't such a bad guy and apologized for the evil Mr. Bush having suggested that Putin might not have the best intentions for the US and world peace?
As if Hillary wasn't extremely friendly with Goldman Sachs? It may not be you idea of "drain the swamp" but having people that understand banking regulate banking instead of people who think banking is immoral regulate banking should be legitimately viewed as draining the swamp.

Is this an announcement that Volvo is getting out of the heavy truck market? They make some of the best equipment in that market.

Obviously Trump has not put out a blanket ban on Muslims either as mentioned in the article.

I'm surprised you haven't been hammered for using market theory as central planning is so much more accepted around here.
Like Obamacare?

Discovering the dwelling place of God is just as "theoretically solvable" as this.
And how many myths will be created about buried treasure and curses and the movies that can be made.
Easy. One of them has been classified as science and the other has not. Easy to see why one is more acceptable to a certain crowd anyway.
But I agree with your basic premise.
Or maybe he was opposed to being forced to spend a lot more money on what he (probably rightfully) views as a complete waste of time and money.
Oh, imagine that. Somebody suggested that you might need to start paying your own way in the world. How disgusting, vile and evil of the man.

Oh wait. Is Putin a good guy or a bad guy today?
Easy. the first is is a racist comment promoted by a racist idiot.
The second and third are factual statements promoted by the benevolent Progressive movement.
The fourth is a racist comment promoted by a racist idiot.
The fifth is a factual statement promoted by the benevolent Progressive movement.
The sixth is a racist comment promoted by a racist idiot.
It really isn't that hard to distinguish them. For further clarification, just consult Facebook or Rachel Maddow.
