The mice were given generous doses of alcohol for three days... equivalent to around... a bottle-and-a-half of wine for a person.... The mice ate more than normal too.
See, being a lab mouse is not all bad. All that free booze and food!
Newsflash: eating food that people have eaten for thousands of years and thrived on, is better than eating highly processed, deep-fried, and/or chemical additives-rich junk that incidentally makes money for their manufacturers and sellers.
Eat more food grown on plants and less food manufactured in plants.
(To be sure, a smallish component of meat and dairy is often advised, but if your diet consists of only this (and perhaps bread or your locale's starchy staple) then health problems shouldn't even be surprising.)
Why do people believe that food consists only of Carbs, Protein and Fat? Perhaps with a sprinkling of vitamins and minerals, which can just as easily be gotten from supplements? There's stuff like probiotics, enzymes, and elusive co-factors and who knows what else that science has not yet even discovered, let alone understood and described.
Tell me again how self driving cars are supposed to bring safety to the roads by not having a human driver AND capable of drag racing at the same time?
Maybe by outrunning all the accident-causing bad human drivers? (Sarcasm aside, I agree with you. Seems the acceleration is just sales pitch, it seems that is the lowest-hanging fruit in e-car features, given electric motor properties.)
It is a total and complete replacement for Microsoft.
Ha haha. Sadly not. (And I have been an Open|LibreOffice advocate for years...) Sadly, Writer does not do nearly the same amount of "DTP-lite" that Word (even 2007) is capable of. On my last 3-page document (which included diagrams) after trying to cope with intermittent shift-arounds of content and crashes for a morning, I capitulated and fired Word up (nicer-looking result too). Writer is only a replacement if you used Word like some slightly glorified typewriter. (Calc seems to be much more capable though.)
What they really need to do is learn why Microsoft Office still has the best UI (it optimizes what people do most frequently, and puts most functions where people expect them)
I recently was asked to set up an "out-of-office autoreply" on a friend's Outlook 2007 installation. Couldn't even find WHERE to do that on the Ribbon (although I did use it way back when it was new, too). Had to google for instructions...
According to my calculations, 24.34% of registered voters voted for Clinton and 24.08% for Trump (24.34+24.08=48.42). But 48.82% abstained from voting.
Looks to me as if more USAians couldn't be bothered who their next president is than those supporting Clinton or Trump. Just an observation from outside the USA...
Also, there was a time when Slashdotters got irony, and also used the "mom's basement-dwelling virgin" meme as one of the defining running gags on/., rather than taking offense at it.
This is just one more article that proves that the old Slashdot I first joined is dead and buried. You know, the one with the motto "news for nerds, stuff that matters".
Because this surely isn't anything that is relevant to a true-blood mom's basement-dwelling nerd.

Facebook still seem to be bent on co-opting the labors of the unwashed masses for free. This has some major drawbacks:
* The Dunning-Kruger-effect (people thinking they are knowledgeable about something when they are actually the opposite).
* Grass-roots campaigns to get some particular POV propagated - because people have difficulty in separating their particular political or religious view from objective reality; for them that is the reality and "the right thing".
In short, FB get the quality that they pay (nothing) for.
My personal anecdote: I have been involved in the translation efforts of FB into one of the local languages in my country (way back when FB was still new and shiny and more useful to keep in touch than an annoying drain on productivity). To this day I still get the occasional notification that a translation has (FINALLY!!) been accepted. I don't really care, and I've switched the interface back to the standard English anyhow - the local language one is simply a joke.
Yeah, combine that sort of tendency to abbreviate with the other fad of calling people by their initials. Was introduced to a guy this weekend before a wedding: "This is JP, he will be MC - oh wait, maybe his 'name' is JC...." Not informative.
Stop with the laziness already. And what's wrong with a shorter term like announcer or host?

... but after three days, they sobered up again. (I guess all those giants in white lab coats messing with your neurons does that.)
Look at most heavy drinkers. They're usually overweight, more so than can be accounted for by the extra calories in alcohol alone.
On the other hand, these rodent heavy drinkers went at it for only 3 days...

So what is Alexa good at except ordering unwanted doll's houses?

Wake me up when they have a Super Cheap electric car.
... or just comparatively priced with a comparative range to today's ICEs. Now that would be groundbreaking.
Finally Microsoft changed it's operating system to something that I can live with. I'll be switching soonest.
Not.
Is he now also into worshiping himself?
Well, Outlook 2007 didn't have the ribbon interface in the main UI, so no wonder you couldn't find it there. ;)
Let's just say I also couldn't find the About box containing the version number :-) (2007 was my guess.)

OK, so this is just one example among many.
She did win the popular vote though.

I've been to scared of losing a package to try this myself though.
How about mailing yourself a worthless test package?

You are so right.
And from there its screens all the way down...
A rapidly expanding battery is going to push some boundaries all right. Perhaps also convert that screen glass into some nice cutting edges.
Does it apologize for winning?

From the Wikipedia page on the novel:
'After a brief incident with her own legal issues, Mae ends up agreeing to wear a SeeChange device [camera recording everything] herself (called going transparent), representing her own growing role in the company, epitomized by a public talk in which she insists, "Secrets are Lies", "sharing is caring," and "privacy is theft."

If AI makes people obsolete, who will those companies peddle their wares to, and obtain income from? The Martians?

Fun fact: Wikipedia says the term "Master of Ceremonies" originated in the Catholic church in the 5th century.
