You can steal something anywhere in a store. I'm not sure why you'd do it at a register (there's more cameras in this area than anywhere else, to prevent theft of cash by employees).
Plausible deniability*.
You go to the bakery section and self select a bunch of expensive pastries and place them in the non-seethrough (provided by the bakery) bag and then proceed to the self-service checkout. At that location you punch in the code for a much cheaper pastry. They system only works on a weight basis and accepts your code. So you get an instant discount that amounts to theft. Plus if you actually get caught (unlikely) you can easily blame the error on confusion in selecting the correct product at the register.
* Not that I would advocate stealing or that my knowledge of this loophole is anything but theoretical/s
So I'm going to be a naysayer here (and yes I watched the video)
1. How do you control age restricted materials? 2. How do you control for multiple people co-ordinating to select a complete set of goods? 3. How are they going to use the huge amount of personal information they will collect on what you buy? 4. You can't pay with cash. 5. You have to have a smart phone plus the Amazon App. So it verges on "company store" mentality and all the negative connotations of "company towns" 6. You can't come in and browse to see if you want to shop at the location before committing. 7. How do they control for turning your phone off after entering the store (or the battery dies)?
I'm using a W10 work laptop. Just this morning I pulled up the Calc app for some minor numerical twiddling. Just as I was dismissing it*, it had some pop over asking me how I was enjoying the app (or something to that effect). And I used to regularly get notifications asking me how I felt about W10 and would I recommend it to my friends. And lets not forget that W10 updates keeping bring back shit that you don't want or need**
I know that at some point will have to get a W10 system for my home dev work, but MS is doing everything it its power to turn me off W10 (and I am not even getting to the telemetry stuff***)
* I wish I had been able to stop myself from closing it. It would have made a great screen cap for TDWTF.
** It's not just MS that is doing this. I recently discovered my Mac Book Pro had downloaded a 4.7GB installer for Sierra, when I have explicitly said no every time El Capitan prompted me to upgrade. I have no idea when that download happened.
*** I only feel like I tamed my MacBook Pro when I added a 3rd party firewall that allows my to whitelist network egress.
How to make next year's census even more expensive, no matter who supplies it.
Lesson 1.
Aside from the fact that the census is not run every year, I'm pretty sure that screwing up a census is going to cost a government way more than this fine. $30 million is chump change in comparison to national budgets.
who is going to take the clothes out of the dryer?
Oh come on, you're not thinking this through.
How do they get into the washing machine in the first place (with the correct cycle) and then into the dryer (at the correct temperature) in the first place?
All members of an outgoing administration must submit a resignation at some point.
But every news outlet and internet troll seems to be falling over themselves to shout to the world that he resigned, as if this event actually means something.
Sure you could probably make a case for all sorts of things happening to him after he is out. But for fucks sake, his resignation is expected and required.
Oh come on. This is the US, so obviously it means.50 caliber. The flash is now so small and robust that you can put more than a gigabyte in a.50 caliber bullet.
Putting memory in bullets is a new, secret local mesh network design being put forward by the New World Order as a protection against society falling apart when it is revealed in January that Trump is actually a Lizard man.. So that when the US civil war starts next year (and the Internet is cutoff by the UN) neighbors will be able to surreptitiously keep in contact by spraying each other's houses with bullets containing enough flash to hold endless hours of cat videos. This will become an important staple of modern living as people will no longer have access to TV shows like The Real Housewives of [city de jour] to keep themselves entertained. And if you have military grade network equipment (EG M2 Browning machine gun) you can achieve some very high bandwidth numbers.
This new mesh network has been designed this way so that the proletariat won't realize that they can point they network devices at the "government" instead of at each other.
They haven't been maintaining it quality wise as it once was.
I haven't seriously used XCode for a while but I don't think ever got to the same level of quality as VS. My biggest pet peeve was that refactoring in XCode sucked big hairy donkey's balls in comparison to VS (even without thing slick resharper). And refactoring is a major part of coding.
If one guy can cause this, it proves that the US financial markets *intrinsically* don't have much integrity.
All stock markets are unstable, not just the US. You just need one rumor and *bam* you instantly wipe off $$$. Stock markets are run by people and it all comes back to Agent K's quote:
The person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it!
I suggest you take a look at the cost of living in Oz before you salivate over $16/hr minimum wages. EG standard chocolate bar in the US is about $US0.80, in Australia it's about $US2.00
BTW Speaking of which if the US minimum wage had tracked inflation, it would be in the $12/hr range right now.

More to the point, the lawyers of 7 out of 8 companies advised their clients to STFU and hope the hypothetical issue goes away.
FTFY
Sorry, but Nestle "chocolate" already tastes awful. I'm not shocked that they can't ruin it further without taking over Palmer or Zacarey.
I take it then you have never tried Hershey's Chocolate?
This is a low ^^ id number. That is all.
Now I'm getting scared. You might awaken some genuinely low ID number users. I've seen it happen before.
Did Amazon just invent a tablet?
... you misspelt spelled.

From TFS and TFA you get told
has a range of 1.2 miles
But if you go to companies website Drone Gun you see
Allows for an up to 2km coverage
So why is TFS and TFA lying about that extra 69.8 metres? What are they trying to hide?
And yes I spelt metres the way it was intended to be spelt.

Mobile websites ....are crap with very limited interfaces.
And Slashdot falls into that group as well.
When I use my iPad to read Slashdot I always manually revert back to the desktop site after I have been kicked to the mobile site.
The driver is there to watch the truck, and the truck will also watch the driver and wake them up if they're passing out
Don't forget the dog. You'll always need the dog in these automated systems.
As with all things Trump, you'll never know until he does it. The best "advice" I saw was to ignore the mouth in front of the man.
Perhaps you should educate yourself on his actions.
As opposed to say .. Batista?

Has this changed, and do other routers support Time Machine these days? Or does this mean the end for the easiest-to-use backup solution ever?
Yep that changed a long time ago. Lots of NAS systems allow you to do Time machine backups.
Here is one example How to: Configure FreeNAS 9.3 for Time Machine with disk quotas using FreeNAS (which I am just starting to play with right now)
Yes he resigned. But as explained in Top US intelligence official: I submitted my resignation (and probably elsewhere)

The new dollar symbol hasn't been decided yet. Trump isn't in office yet.
Oh god, where is the mind bleach.? I just had a vision of Trump's face on a US dollar bill.
.50 what? Dollars? If so, why not say so?
Oh come on. This is the US, so obviously it means .50 caliber. The flash is now so small and robust that you can put more than a gigabyte in a .50 caliber bullet.

Don't buy the Apple book, buy something that's a lot more reasonable and not so self indulgent:
Hip-Hop: A Cultural Odyssey (Hardcover)
It's only $7,777.02 for a new copy.
I'm guessing the the people writing and reading this story don't know anything about the coffee table book market. $300 is nothing.

Almost another half billion accounts of people spread to the four winds because of how much better private industry is than government.
That's why government regulation of private industry is bad /s

but when the GOD DAMNED EDITORS CAN'T EVEN FORMULATE A SENTENCE?!?
It's a direct quote from TFA. So at best the editors should have appended a [sic], but then again that would also have required some editing.
McDonald’s workers get $16 hr there.
I suggest you take a look at the cost of living in Oz before you salivate over $16/hr minimum wages. EG standard chocolate bar in the US is about $US0.80, in Australia it's about $US2.00
BTW Speaking of which if the US minimum wage had tracked inflation, it would be in the $12/hr range right now.
