How about sugarcane elimination robots, then? They can look like salt shakers and cry 'EX-TER-MI-NATE!' as they do their job. Salt shakers vs. sugar, who will win?!
Good luck getting the people who refuse to eat GMO foods to be ok with genetically modifying themselves. They imagine mad scientists randomly saying "I wonder what happens if I put THESE genes in THIS organism?" and the result having three heads. You can say, "hey, stupid people weed themselves out of the gene pool, natural selection", but unfortunately stupid parents can get their children killed too, and that's also natural selection (or micro-scale social darwinism).
This presumably helps with code-switching, which bilingual people tend to do all-the-freaking-time. They'll start a sentence in one language, forget how to say something in that language (or don't like how it sounds in that one), then switch to another, sometimes for only a few words before switching back.
My health class had to coax us students to all say 'penis' and 'vagina' several times just to loosen up enough to talk about anatomy and sexual health. Genital shame feeds into our culture's sex negativity, and indirectly into bodily shame, all in a vicious circle. We would be much happier as a culture if we went out of our way to promote sex positivity and body acceptance. Unfortunately the Abrahamic religions are too invested in sex negativity, so I'm not hopeful that things will improve until secularism becomes more dominant.
If people under age 18 are disallowed to vote, ostensibly because they're not experienced/wise/responsible enough to understand and appreciate the implications, then why are people with dementia allowed to vote, even if they can't remember what year it is or what country they're in?
Forget Russian boogiemen, this is the REAL disinformation campaign threatening our democracy, with hundreds of times the manpower and money put behind it. Forget cloak and dagger, spies, and autocrats on the other side of the world trying to undermine their rivals. Pure unbridled greed combined with free-speech protections covering wide-scale public manipulation campaigns are the REAL threat.
Apparently GloFo has been bleeding money for years, and they're not big enough to compete with Samsung and TSMC on the latest nodes and remain profitable. So instead of chasing the latest process shrink, they're targeting niches that are more profitable and less served by the other companies. Despite what the summary implies, they were still pretty far away from volume production of 7nm, for which they're using standard lithography tech at this point. EUV 7nm would come later and require $billions more to get up and running, and it's predicted it won't pay off for them to do this. Seems GlobalFoundries is owned by Abu Dhabi, didn't know that.
This is true on Metacritic at least: check out critic reviews for any given weekly-broadcast TV show, and invariably you'll find that the review covers the first 1 or 2 episodes. In other words, they're judging the entire show based on just seeing one or two episodes. If it's a serial, that means not all of the main characters have likely been introduced, the premise hasn't even been fully revealed, and the story arc is just starting to develop and who knows where it's going or if it'll ever pay off. Notice that the second season of a TV show will usually have a far higher critical review score than the first, simply because those reviewing the second season are actually reviewing the entirety of the first. If you want more accurate reviews of these shows (particularly the first season), wait until the season is done and then read user reviews. The reason it is done this way is obvious: new stuff gets reader attention, since it's being currently heavily marketed; the reviewer doesn't have access to later episodes; people want to know if something is any good before they start watching it; and lack of reruns of weeks-old-episodes means you have to jump on board within a week or so of the show first airing. Of course, with the Netflix-style releasing of a whole season at once, this upends the above, and makes critical reviews more useful. Personally I rely on word of mouth, then research something I hear about. Read a variety of reviews -- for the worst drek imaginable, someone somewhere will say it's a masterpiece, just as surely as someone will say something is drek even if it's my favorite.
The MVNO I get service through (Mint Mobile) has offers of XGB/mo. and then you're on 2G the rest of the month. They don't use 'unlimited' to describe this. Raising the cap from 2/5/10GB, up to ~25GB, doesn't make it any more 'unlimited', it's just a higher number. It's quantitatively different rather than qualitatively. I'd just have them say '25GB/mo. and then unlimited 2G' since what's unlimited is the 2G (and if they're hiding behind that fact, they should have to say '2G' whenever they say 'unlimited').
I expect this to get worse as AR becomes more commonplace. Imagine if it were a laser-tag AR game where he was shooting other students! People love their battle royale games, I expect there to shortly be location-based AR battle royale games; last survivor in your school wins! I'm honestly surprised that ~20 years after Postal, Pico's World, GTA and Super Columbine Massacre RPG, people still get their panties in a twist about games about killing sprees. Perhaps satire was the only thing that spared those games, anything that's halfway serious gets shouted down even by gamers.
If tomorrow, every American became a rational actor with perfect information about the market, so many market segments would simultaneously implode that the whole economy would collapse.
or work with the FTC to change or clarify the meaning of "unlimited data" and force all the carriers to call it something else.
This. Unlimited* and similar statements to the effect of 'no limitations' shouldn't be allowed terminology, if there actually are limitations. Sure they don't want to advertise all the edge cases that are limited, especially when those edge cases are out of their control. However, something completely under their control (arbitrary data caps) shouldn't be an edge case they're allowed to gloss over with a disclaimer.

Interlocking molded gelatin capsules filled with skin lotion, when you step on them your feet feel BETTER than they did before!
That explains why California's Republicans voted for the bill. Oh, wait...
He could say he forgot it since he hadn't typed it in for 14 months.
Why go to the effort of doing their damn jobs, when they can string up suspects for not cooperating, instead? That'll learn em.
The followups will be the iPhone Baroque and the iPhone Decadence.

The difference is that this is 85 inches, whereas the BBC was micro.
No no, we're trying to keep the dumbasses OUT!

The files, crucially, will be transmitted to customers "on a DD-branded flash drive"
Woot, infinite free flash drives!

The real lesson from that movie is to ban rabbits' feet.
Climate change versus renewable energy, fight!
Climate change wins. Fatality!

Note the tortured wording to try to lay responsibility directly at the feet of Trump. He's become the nation's whipping boy, apparently.

Obviously the administrators saw 'AR', 'clip' and 'high school' in the same sentence and freaked out.
Everything we know about bookmaking we learned from Breaking Bad, an old mobster movie, and some jokes we heard in grade school. /s
