Back in the 50s, when the interstate highway system was planned and construction began, did anyone budget for future maintenance? Does anyone consider the long term cost of maintenance when they build roads, bridges, and other infrastructure like subways?
Those folks in Seattle are happy because the system is new and working fine. I'll bet people in NYC were happy with their system when it was new. Let's see how people in Seattle feel about the system when it is as old as the NYC subway system.
If they're still using it after all the s**t in the news lately, they definitely don't care about apps sharing their info. Or their IQ is too low to understand what the problems are. Or both.
I think part of it may have to do with privacy/security. If multiple devices can pair up, your phone call may be getting broadcast into someone else's earphones as well as your own.
There are more serious considerations than antibiotics and growth hormones. Have you considered prions? Does the process of growing the meat in the lab result in fewer or more prions compared to "natural" meat?
You don't understand the plan. It's not to kill every living thing. The 0.01% of the population that is filthy rich wants to get rid of most of the rest of the population because they are unnecessary for their enjoyment of life, and in fact, cause problems for them. They only need a small number of people to clean, cook, farm, and etc. Once the population is nearly wiped out, we won't need but 0.01% of the cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. that we need now to feed all those useless people.
I don't care how badly we muck up the atmosphere, there will be some places on earth that will be nice places to live for those 0.01%ers, and will still support the raising of 0.01% of the cattle, pigs, and chickens, and vegetables, etc. that those 0.01%ers will consume.
Over night? After they get the first reactor working, how many more years will it take to come up with a commercially viable design? How long will it take to build enough of them to replace all the coal and gas fired power plants? You must have long nights where you live.
Well, you can buy a POS like you detailed, brand new for $250-300, or buy a 5 YO, used workhorse of a machine for that much. Performance hasn't changed much in the last 5 years. New machines will have USB C ports, and maybe better wifi down the road a few years from now, but all that stuff will still be around in 5 years when the LG machine gets cheap.
I remember when 16:9 format TVs first came out. People watched 4:3 video stretched to the full screen width for years and never though twice about it, even though they could just push a button on the remote control to display it as 4:3. They probably thought it was HD, too.
I used to see ads for TV antennas that were specifically for color TV (usually on the same page as antennas that were cheaper and not indicated for color TV), as if the antenna had anything to do with the quality of the color your TV displayed.
When people watch stupid crap like "Celebrity Apprentice" and other "reality" shows, "dancing with the stars", and "america's got talent" (no, it doesn't), "fox and friends", "the bachelor", etc., why would you need color range and accuracy?
I think orange is dead nuts in the middle of the range of any crappy TV...
because it's expensive to move! And it's great for the real estate people who suck up a commission on every transaction if there's a sale of property involved.
I moved from state to state, house to apartment, apartment to house, several times in a period of about 10 years. It was crazy.
I used to make CAD models of furniture and the new house/apartment so I could figure out what goes where before we moved in. I also made lists of box contents and numbered the boxes so I could locate things quickly and easily (assuming I could locate a specific box!). I stopped unpacking boxes just because I didn't want to have to pack them again. I still have boxes of crap that haven't been unpacked from the last move, about 5 years ago. I'd throw it all away but my wife would surely need some specific item that's packed away in a box somewhere as soon as I did.
They are a prop to intimidate the person being interrogated. It doesn't matter if it squiggles lines on paper or scans your eyeball, it's nothing but theater. A lie detector test is nothing more than an interrogation.

Time to throw away your 5 YO bluetooth headphones... aptx was superseded by aptxHD which has been superseded by LDAC.
back door.
Hmmm. Builds walls to keep people out, build back doors to let people in...
For the CEO, yes.
That's a shame.
I'll volunteer a portion of my home to raise some of the little cacti if it will help...

I live 2 miles from Foxconn. Wisconsin tax payers bought the promise of 13k jobs from a company known to replace workers with robots for $4B.
We've been had!
Nevermind. I had him confused with the idiot who was suing to keep people off his "private" beach. Wrong guy, but eat the rich anyway!
Think again. It's about keeping the poor away from his little section of beach that he wants to keep all to himself.
Eat the rich!

How many coal men will be put back to work in the coal mines if they make fusion energy work?

My current machine is a W530 with quad core i7, 32 GB of RAM, and a 2GB K1000 graphics card for which I am out $350.
It's nice to know what I'll be buying in 5 years for $250.

The next big thing.
It violated the first law of robotics- do no harm to humans.
Maybe the military whisked it away for further study before it could be decomissioned...

That would explain a lot about Trump and the people he surrounds himself with.
Have you heard of any scientific study that correlates dilation of the pupil with lying? I haven't.
