OP mentioned property taxes not sales. But congrats on the low sales taxes. That is definitely good. The only real downside is having to live in Texas.
I see your point but I'd guess you are not a professional sysadmin. TFA should have been prefaced "For SysAdmins only". Most don't care about losing data: this far along in the computer revolution, most of us have lost years of data due to a disk or pebcak failure.
Most of the time it is not a deal-breaker, or "melt-down" in this case. A company might have to spend some money, or a worker has to spend a lot of time, or the two dozen drafts of your "Great American Novel" goes gone.
But sometimes it's the entire financial transaction or contractual history. Or the the finished version of your novel. Or the priceless-to-you pictures of your baby/SO/parent/nana.
Pro sysadmins pretty much find that a "no data loss mindset" is career enhancing.
For California? A blue state? The Donald has a well-known penchant for vengeance. I expect that any benefits for Cal. will be a side-effect of policies benefiting one of his or his crony's businesses.

He is a politician now but before the election he most certainly was not. Are you that thick to not understand this basic concept? Let me help you out: What political office did he hold before November 8th? Idiot.
He became a politician when he threw his hat in the ring in 2015. He became a successful politician in 2016. Do you not understand this basic concept?
His training ground on how to lie effectively and influence people was as a CEO.

Ha! pretty much. While it's an oblig cliche which tends to get overworked (poorly), in this case you used the analogy well to quickly show that this article is just a puff piece.
We have part on in Charlottesville. Fill a card with cash, pay by the ounce of whatever you pour yourself. Every so many ounces the card locks so you have to see an attendant (this is a drunk check).
Why does the title and article call it a "self-driving" beer tap rather than simply "automated"? I thought this was going to be like that sequel to the Heineken walk-in fridge commercial where the guy misunderstands the request and makes a mini-fridge that walks into the living room on robot legs when summoned.
Hilarious. I would have loved seeing that.

Ha! Imagine your typical college town. Imagine your typical college kids; don't really know what tastes good (okinawa jungle juice anyone?), and further want to mess with the system, because they can. It won't be long 'til we have koolaid grape flavored beer.

I would think there would be some really interesting face-scans out there. I'd probably use my dog. Sure, not very creative, but it would amuse me.

...after all, we don't want a racist printer.
Well, in the spirit of South Park and Butters, soon women will only need us for our jokes. Sperm not required apparently.
Well, sperm is eventually needed. FTS: "leading to "extreme inbreeding"".
Extreme inbreeding produces males.

Yep. Live fire training with live rounds and live targets. If you get hit you are a loser.
This is how I normally do gardening. I just load up my AK47, and go to town on the backyard.
I sense a business opportunity.

"All other things being equal enough". Who gets to decide?
But that, of course, is the debate. Is it really "the best value for the money"? I call your homily with a truism "you get what you pay for".
"You pedantic twit!"
Er, that wouldn't be radium, would it?
Yeah, that's what I thought, too--your title says it all. For me, Big Bang Theory serves as an adequate weekly dose.

This would be the same CIA that claimed that Iraq had WMDs?
No. That CIA existed in the early 2000's. This CIA is almost a generation later.

My company HR sent notice of required anti-phishing email training.
- The email came from someone I never heard of.
- It contained a link to an external website.
- And the external website required we log in with our domain credentials.
I ignored the notices for weeks until my boss came to my desk and made me do it. Just unbelievable.
Been there, done that. As you say, just unbelievable.

You forgot though, the one in London is On the Internet! So it must be better.
