Yeah, now that you mention it, this water seems a little hotter than it was a few minutes ago. So, who cares? It's always been fine before, a little hotter isn't going to hurt anyone!
All the US providers have been pulling variations of this stunt for the last decade. Today, "odd" is calling something unlimited and having it actually be unlimited.
Let's see, 15 minutes to enjoy a macchiato at the coffee shop, 3 hours desperately searching for items that are never stocked locally and must be ordered online, 10 minutes in one of those crap coin-operated massage chairs, and then YUP! Google says the food court should have cleared out enough to give me a running start at flinging myself to a merciful death from the 3rd story balcony.
Look, buddy, why don't you just go get in your autonomous car and take a long drive down the highway with both hands on the wheel and both eyes glued to the road the entire time, OK?
Right. Because this is such a uniquely Apple issue. That whole brouhaha about crappy USB C cables and the damage they cause, or all those fly-by-night USB multi-port chargers that overheat and catch fire, those must have been some sort of fever dream I had.
But this did give you an opportunity to be smug, so at least some good came out of it.
The end of 2017, mark your calendar! Los Angeles to Times Square, no human touching the controls even ONCE! It's so, so, awesome. In the time that it takes some other tech company to add some cosmetic widgets and minor features to their mobile OS, Tesla will create a truly thinking machine, test it thoroughly, and demonstrate in on our roads.
Yeah, next time I hear that some friggin' data entry system is going to be years behind schedule, I am going to flip out. Clearly, complex software has been trivial ALL THIS TIME! Those software pikers have been *malingering*!
You are such a naysayer! Just like having a big rocket will solve all the problems with colonizing Mars, having a bunch of cameras will solve all the problems with Level 5 autonomous vehicles. q.e.d.
Ah. I suggest that people are disappointed because they are expecting a philosophical discussion, and you are being non-responsive.
I'm sure that many, if not most, of the poor folk whom you have regaled thus are well aware of evolution and basic biological functions.
Let's say there is a machine that could take any ice cream flavor and modify it so it smelled like urine. Some might wonder "Why the hell does this exist??" You would likely explain, helpfully, "It exists to make ice cream smell like urine."
Yup, everyone over 50 is well-off, no exceptions. Well, even if that's not true, then they only have themselves to blame. Didn't work hard enough don't you know.
And if you're 35, or even 45, well, you can bugger right off!
The world is fun when there are no shades of grey!

Now, now, he's just acting out because he's afraid these bullets will help the cops find the bodies.
Send them a threatening letter from your legal team, along with a DMCA takedown notice.

Great, now the damned asteroids know how to evade our defenses! Brilliant!
On the other hand, I've heard that Earth Girls Are Easy.

I look forward to not reading your response.
Doesn't it make more sense to test the building a colony on the Moon where it is easier to fix problems and send help?
No. That's like saying - instead of the Pilgrims going to the USA they should have moved to the Arctic ('cause it's a bit closer).
And if America had been a minimum of 140 times farther away than the Arctic, that might have been a bit harder decision...

Yeah, how the hell are they going to store power at a massive high-capacity battery factory?
...and the temperature of the water has nothing to do with how well it cleans hands. So yeah, pretty scary stuff.
You're self-employed, aren't you?
Done and done!
It's the chartreuse AIs you REALLY have to look out for!
Nonsense. AI's can be assholes, too.
