The motive is not just a factor - it's what they've hinged their entire case on. To claim Disney's motivation was discrimination is what's creative about the case. And absurd.
The premise for the suit is quite creative. And absurd. Its only chance is finding a sympathetic (read: nationalistic) jury. I guess it's worth a shot considering all the protectionist rhetoric that was thrown around during this election cycle.
Resigning people to do mundane, robotic tasks like checking out groceries makes them less human rather than more so. I'd rather they be liberated to do more fulfilling work.
Saying a corporation is composed of people is like saying a herd is composed of animals. The former doesn't exist without the latter. A corporation is not some inanimate entity - it's only people.
Corporations are people. And some corporations are very small - how large does a corporation have to be before we arbitrarily say that corporations no longer deserve due care?
Take your point back 20 to 100 years. The level of wealth we enjoy today is due to productivity increases from innovation and technology. Those changes hurt people then the same as they do now yet here we are enjoying the spoils of that change as a society in whole. Why would it be beneficial to declare that no more automation should be allowed from this point forward? What if someone did that 30 years ago?
It's neither strawman nor bullshit. If individuals are permitted to control their costs by selecting the lowest-priced goods and services available to them then why would a corporation not be permitted to do the same?
You should be ashamed you pay so little for the goods and services that free-market economies provide. Calculate all the money you've saved and remit that total to the workers' salary augmentation fund.
You loved last year's gift of privacy invasion so much I didn't know how to top that. Then I thought of disconnecting your WiFi so you would lose access to the single most essential activity on your computer. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks (to TheFakeTimCook as well). If that's the case couldn't Apple have them they operate in master-slave mode when both are available and switch the slave to master when it's the only one available?
Vs the existing implementation of sending the audio to one and having it relay the audio to the other? Apple's method would have less latency and higher throughput but does that matter for this application?
I agree with all you wrote. I'd be interested to know what all was involved in their initial post-recall investigation that lead them to conclude the problem was with the battery itself and thus green-light the production release of the camera for replacements/new-sales.

For the same reason people shop at Walmart - to save money.

Considering that some employees in retail steal credit cards numbers I'm guessing it'll be a wash.
I agree but there's also nothing inherently humanizing or productive about people working jobs that can be performed more efficiently by robots.
What did we do with the millions that no longer work in agriculture? Or in jobs that disappeared as a result of the industrial revolution?

Then redditors will realize things aren't so bad and ask him back.

Ever been to an inner city in the USA?
You mean how we took advantage of Chinese labor for the past 30 years. I wonder how that's worked out for the Chinese people.

Cut the financial incentive for employees to move up the ranks in half and see how well that company performs.

Now they have more physical ammo for their SF protests.
Is that something like a blindfolded vision test?
And they usually say "move on to the next car - nothing to see here".
And the A10 is about equal to x86 Sandy Bridge performance so it's going to take a lot of Qualcomm cores to be competitive with each x86 core.
That way Apple can tell customers what's wrong with their iPhone 6s a full year after they purchased it.
