Sure, it's easy today to look at the Sun and know it's a ball of (mostly) hydrogen, generating energy by combining those protons in a chain into helium through the process of nuclear fusion.
It's also interesting to note that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy contains the following entry for the 3rd rock from the Sun: Mostly harmless. Someone else submitted a better description ("third rate planet") but it was dismissed because it was written by a Dick.
2017-08-12 - A man fell to his death today while mowing the lawn on the roof of Les Olympiades. Witnesses claim to have heard him shout "Putain d'écureuils de bordel de merde!" while he fell down.
He's saying that getting something within one or two hours makes no difference to him, it's still delivered the same day and he doesn't need to go outside.
Me? I buy things on eBay because of the free shipping from Hong Kong. Two weeks, four weeks... who cares, it's free shipping and I've never had to pay customs or brokerage fees. It's also why I'll never order something from the USA ever again.
Ford Prefect: How are you feeling? Arthur Dent: Like a military academy. Bits of me keep passing out. Ford? If I were to ask you where the hell we were, would I regret it? Ford Prefect: We're safe. Arthur Dent: Ah. Good. Ford Prefect: We're in a cabin of one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet. Arthur Dent: Ah. This is obviously some strange usage of the word "safe" that I hadn't previously been aware of.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
The last time those car companies tried to make electric cars, one of them even went as far as crushing their own cars instead of selling them to the people who wanted to buy them.
Tesla is forcing them to start making electric cars again. That's why people are so excited about Tesla.
For that price, range and speed, convert that into a closed tricycle with enough space for four groceries bags and he'd sell millions of them.
The title for the real Tony Stark begins.
This is Slashdot. I read the title and posted my stupid comment.
Let's force everyone to learn how to code! We need more bad programmers!
After all, people who think they know something without really knowing anything are the best!

It better be a minimum percentage of the roof otherwise the law will be useless.
Webkit at OSS. Webkit and Blink.
So, we're going back to coding in assembly and calculating the execution time of opcodes, right?
And Gattaca, of course.
"Sixth Day" laws.
It's not magic. They simply installed ovens in their delivery cars.
Unless they use the new 3D printer that was announced three days ago.

A windmill wouldn't have an axis with a radius of 6371 km.
And everything in "data" is CSV.
Nope, we all moved to XML.

I don't know, but this this is Japan I'm going to assume it involves a giant lizard or a monster with tentacles.
