Your homework for this week deals with unit conversions - subway cars, Volkswagens, Libraries of Congress, African swallows, European swallows, a coon's age, a pinch, a New York minute, and many other units you will have to deal with in your daily lives.
The internal social network where I used to work became an echo chamber of self-congratulatory announcements by management followed by efflusive and fawning ass-kissing comments by the serfs. It got so sickening that I had Outlook send the email updates (which was the primary form of communication of this particular software) directly to trash. Nothing of any use to me ever came across it.
Wrong. I could buy an HDTV antenna and wire it and mount it - or I could pay Aereo to send be a signal from my own rented antenna and get exactly the same mix of local broadcast stations. Aereo was a service I was willing to pay for.
Round up everyone in the company involved in the decision, freeze their assets, throw them in jail pending their criminal case, hold a trial, and imprison them further upon their inevitable conviction, then liquidate their assets and distribute to the affected parties. Oh wait, that would be justice.
Put the Duke brothers' seats on the exchange up for sale at once. Seize all assets of Duke & Duke Commodities Brokers, as well as all personal holdings of Randolph and Mortimer Duke.
Round one: Digital music replaces musicians. Actors and audience don't much care.
Round two: Holograms replace actors. Audience doesn't much care.
Round three: Virtual audience replaces real audience. Real audience doesn't even notice, as the computers find that the all-digital performance can be optimized by running the simulation at many times real life speed. Der Ring des Nibelungen takes only 1.5 seconds in the new theater.
Tis a joke, but your post is the inspiration for my next billion dollar idea:
1. Search Wikipedia for a couple of lines from an obscure algorithm to make a joke post
2. Realize that on Wall Street there is nothing too weird that some desperate suckers might not actually believe it
3. Publish actual stock market guide filled with cut and paste sciency-looking stuff
4 Profit!
Coming soon from Hardcourt and Knee Brace: "Buy If (i > 0 and j > 0 and F(i,j) == F(i-1,j-1) + S(Ai, Bj)) And Sell When (j > 0 and F(i,j) == F(i,j-1) + d)"
If I leave a package of Oreos on the floor and a toddler with no impulse control and no reason to have impulse control at that age anyway gets into the package and eats them all, is it the toddler's fault for being a toddler or is it my fault for leaving the goddamn cookies on the floor?
When your little boutique startup catches fire enough to go IPO and get listed on the NYSE, then you may have to make a few ethical and moral compromises to keep that Mercedes.
" the Big Bang still thrives as the most successful scientific model of the Universe ever constructed."
Really? Then give us proof where all of that matter came from so the big bang could happen. If it already existed to allow the big bang to occur, then where did it come from before that?
A degree in cosmology takes years of study and research. A degree in cosmetology can be obtained in six months. Your girlfriend will laugh and ridicule your opinions in cosmetology, but you feel fully qualified to comment on the current questions being studied in cosmology.

How long until Comcast sends YouTube a bill for carrying the HD content?

Logical.
how are they going to remove people's ability to remember ?
Folks, if you would just look right here for a moment. FLASH! What you just saw was the light of swamp gas reflecting off of the planet Venus.
I said we wanted a slope. Nobody said it had to be slippery.
A reviewer might think that the results are not implausible, so the paper can go ahead. Reviewers don't try to reproduce the results in their own lab.

Aereo was a leech.

They weren't renting an antenna.
You are correct, except that was exactly what they were doing.

Better return that USB Fleshlight

Given enough data, almost all theories are disproven. The only ones that remain are the ones that fit the data.
Given enough data, almost all hypotheses are disproven. The ones which remain and have not yet been disproven by evidence become theories.

You would kill Hitler and Stalin you dope.
If an interviewer starts to ask you a question which begins with a tortoise on its back, flip the table and run like hell, man.

You are in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and the CEO of Comcast. You have a gun with two bullets. What do you do?
You shoot the CEO twice.

My greatgrandfather invented a trunk and a radiator to hook onto a horse.
Once the students see a guy crucified on a plus sign, they'll know we are serious about our math.
