That comic seems to suggest we reached peak smug in 2000. I do not believe that market bubble has popped yet. Disclaimer: I have been shorting smug stocks.
The war ends with commercials being better integrated with the content, either through product placement or through matching the style of the content they are inserted in.
Creative thinking came up most great inventions, but it also came up with the Time Cube. So each instance needs to be evaluated under its own merit and not either trusting or mistrusting all "creative thinking".
The problem is that 23andme was trying to make it 'that simple' and beyond. Their recent literature downplayed the (difficult) part about relative risk, probabilities and how to analyze the data in a rationale way and played up the 'we can make you live longer' aspect. Taking the information to a qualified genetic counselor would be the best way to evaluate the subject for the vast majority of people. But that is time consuming, expensive and you have to really think about stuff.
Not a very good way to make money these days. The FDA put a kabosh to that.
How did they plan on making people live longer if they did not have anyone analyze the results? Or was their entire business plan to get people to pay top dollar for information they cannot understand?
Economies of scale might save it for you. Other advances can make computers cheaper, so you can afford more cores and processors. If it is no longer cost effective to cram more cores on to the die, companies will find other ways to innovate.
Unlikely. There is no evidence that the cop saw the defendant before entering his car and preparing the paperwork to fine/arrest him.
Absolutely false. All he has to do is type the license plate into the computer and it shows a picture of the owner, their details and outstanding warrants. An officer not doing this would not be doing his job and during a traffic stop would be putting himself in needless danger.
Are the only damages (or potential damages) the $0.05 in electricity? What if that particular circuit was being used for other things, like running a pump to deal with some flooding, and plugging in the car was enough to blow the braker?
So the next time you run a red light should we lock you up for killing the children that could have been crossing the street at that intersection?
Unlike Lightning, this is just a connector for USB 2/3, not a whole new interface. A dumb, cheap adaptor should suffice. (Unlike Lightning to 30-pin adaptors which are basically tiny protocol droids translating between the two.)
The image I get in my head is a miniature C-3P0 inside the connector talking very quickly.
If I had to pay sales tax, I'd just as soon buy it locally for immediate gain, and all things being local (if all was taxed) I'd just as soon keep things local.
I would think that majority of Amazon's sales are not to people merely seeking to avoid sales tax. I don't know what amount of their sales go on big ticket items where this would be prevalent though.

I would consider this worse.
Yeah, I would say that the Nigerian prince is a risky investment.
The bank pays interest.
At under the inflation rate.
Nope, just an observation.
Seriously, timothy... fuck you.
DON'T DO THAT!
Think about what happened to Georg Cantor as a result of thinking too seriously about infinity.
Will I go insane if I think about someone thinking about infinity?
"There is water. . .at the bottom of the ocean. . ."
Probably the same way that Spongebob and friends could go to the beach... underwater.

Excited to try the brew they come up with to recreate this.

Look, if he argues with you, he has to take a contrary position.
Yes, but that's not just saying "No it isn't".
Inflation theory doesn't say whether the universe is infinite or not, it is just potentially compatible with both an infinite and a finite universe.
I suppose that is why GP said "almost infinitely", which really is a terribly meaningless and confusing phrase when you think about it.

Web apps require a shitload of more power than the same app done natively.
It depends on the amount of processing done on the server.

He's obviously in the pocket of Big Oil.
Well the politicians that write his paycheck certainly are.
Cops in Georgia probably have standing orders to arrest anyone driving an electric vehicle since they are probably democrats.
That connector appears to be keyed to only go in one way. However with a circular connector it would be easy enough to twist the thing in place.
Unlike Lightning, this is just a connector for USB 2/3, not a whole new interface. A dumb, cheap adaptor should suffice. (Unlike Lightning to 30-pin adaptors which are basically tiny protocol droids translating between the two.)

It would be amusing to have a 7 or 8 layer concentric circle connector, but probably relatively expensive to produce.

Close, try

Cask Biz No
Sack Biz On
Sack Biz No
An Biz Sock
Ask Biz Con
As Biz Conk
But my favorite is:

No, actually, Amazon has been fighting tooth and nail against sales tax for years.
Amazon has been fighting against having to collect individual sales tax, while endorsing a Federal framework like The Marketplace Fairness Act.
I guess I confused this for them being in support of sales tax collection.
If I had to pay sales tax, I'd just as soon buy it locally for immediate gain, and all things being local (if all was taxed) I'd just as soon keep things local.
