1. How long does it take light to circle the black hole of choice? 2. How are they planning to brake? 3. Do they plan to visit only blackholes, or is there a way to visit star systems inbetween too? Because once you stop (by some means) to look around, you're no longer near any black holes, so you're stuck.
Meritocracy appears to be the belief that the better you are the higher you will get, but with the expectation that somebody will notice you and pull you up on your merit. That is no usually so [citation needed]. You have to pull yourself up, or convince people with the power to do so - hint: if they feel threatened by your progress they will not only not help you, but actively push you under a bus. You have to have the guts to take the next step yourself and to ask for what you deserve, firmly, and persistently, or you will never move on. But also be sure that you are actually ready and able to handle the next step enough to not get burnt out.
There is an element of luck, but the dice won't throw themselves.
There are two choices, and they have their detractors:
1. Socialism: We all pay for this and enjoy the benefits of a healthy society. 2. Ferengi: Mortgage. Because the treatment works so well, it is also expensive, and the only way to finance it is by taking a lifetime loan. If you need a second treatment, better take a second mortgage then.
That site is so fast, it loads before I even click the mouse button. And no "subscribe to our spamletter" or "please fill out a survery when you're done" popups in the middle of scrolling, "please let us pollute your notification centre" permission requests, or other such modern things.
Can the Police put fake Police markers on Waze maps and claim 1st amendment? It's not like they're endegering anybody by doing so, and otherwise lying is protected speech too.
As a limited supply crypto reaches its supply cap, and wallets get lost, can anybody draw a graph of how long it will take before either there's no more crypto in circulation (it's all locked up in forgotten wallets) or what is left is deemed pointless?
When QA tests the functionality, but nobody checks the security. Plenty of times all you have is review the code and ask the question "who is allowed to see this?" to figure out if the answer is "everybody in the world", and decide if that's OK or not.
As these aren't secret ballots, votes can actually be verified. Even a basic solution using GPG to sign the vote would work pretty well (until they paste their secret key in a random website that asks for it).
I still share my Netflix with my ex. She's willing to pay for Netflix herself, but there is a problem. She can't take her watching history, ratings, and her list of bookmarked titles to her new account. When asked, Netflix say "meh, just start over".
Come on dudes, your devs could easily add account merges and splits (and while at it, give me an option to let me watch the end credits in full screen in peace). I'm not motivated enough to write a scraper/saver to copy her profile from my account to hers using Greasemonkey (the watch list is probably easy to get, but the entirely to watch progress and the simulation needed to bring every timestamp over might be harder on my end), and you guys don't seem either.
But hey, AI is cool. Decent profile handling is so meh. Don't forget the blockchain.
Second reaction: Wait, did you say Lenovo laptops? Those guys who would brick your motherboard if you turned on Thunderbolt assist in _their_ BIOS? OK, maybe it's not Microsoft's fault this time.

Some people might want to go one step further and push themselves over the limit, but they put suicide nets on the limit to prevent that.

Does that mean that the noisier the plane engines the better the plane flies? :P
Witches should fly on vacuum cleaners, not brooms.
You get the idea.

I got a better name for the service. I guess you can't trust anybody on the Internet (anymore).
I was thinking JavaScript.
I don't remember a 'var' keyword in BASIC, and they use the colon to separate commands on the same line, not a semicolon.

Call it 4.5G. Tell Marketing it has 5G in it if they complain.

I remembered another one: Ndiswrapper. That implements Windows interfaces to make Windows WiFi drivers work on Linux when there's no native driver.
If interfaces can be copyrighted then WINE and ReactOS are dead unless they receive the blessing of Microsoft.
If WINE is dead, Steam on Linux is also dead.
If interfaces can be copyrighted, the message then is: if it's not an ISO standard so similar, don't touch it.

I call this sort of people "professionals", air quotes included.
So they'll repeat the same lyrics 3 times instead of 4 or 5? Is that what you're saying?
Fan of anarchy? This is what it looks like.
The US basically has no government right now, except for the fact that taxes are still owed as if the government was still operational.

Err... I think the bank may have something to say about leaving your card unattended with unauthorised persons...

You know they're serious people when you find out that they even provide a crack for PhpMyAdmin. It's not free enough until you crack it.
Yes! C code in PHP code. It's all ever wanted.
Yep, giving the power of C to people who can't code PHP properly to begin with. Best idea ever.
