Google branded bikes are going to be a collector's item. They need to repaint the bikes to say Microsoft so that nobody will want to be seen riding one.
There's a fine line between consent and coercion. You have no idea what is pressing against the other person's head who is willing to "consent" to sex with you.
You just summed up decades if not centuries of family pressure on daughters to 'make a good match'.
There's freedom and there's freedom. More than a century ago the people decided that unfettered capitalism was taking on a dark edge and took steps to regulate against the consolidation of assets in one entity. Had they not, we would only be able to go to movies made by Standard Oil Studios. We would drive there in our Standard Oil Rockefeller Steamers and pay for it with our Standard Oil Card.
When I was a little boy, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised, the Lord, in his wisdom, doesn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked Him to forgive me. - Emo Philips
The economic equivalent of the UBI when the shit hits the fan - because we know absolutely nothing will be done until the shit literally hits a spinning fan - will be something like the bounty placed on coyotes or magpies. Bring in the ears of one of the terrorist roving mob for $20.
I never understood how an intelligent person could simply use past experience and thinking as a guidepost for the future
Because most of the time it works - that's how we've always planned everything. What else could you use, apart from past experience, to guess at what will happen in the future?
That's the kind of planning that has you marching your troops en masse Civil War style against machine guns.
Psilocybin is a small achiral molecule which is easy to prepare synthetically. (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/np030059u). If we wanted to use it medicinally, the availability of the molecule would not be the limiting factor.
everyone who voted for either Hillary or Trump should be fucking shot.
Fuck off, pal. I voted for Clinton because she was one of the most qualified candidates in recent memory. This bullshit of equating the two persons is just insane.
'Geese' is actually a corruption of the phrase 'Geeses Christ', which some might find an unacceptable ejaculate, so it became attenuated over time to the less recognizable and hopefully less offensive form used here.
This was all the rage in narrative story-telling about the time HyperCard became widely available. Hell, I even made a couple of 'choose your own turn of events' stacks. But they lose my interest quickly when I play them. I like fiction to take me in a direction I was not expecting.
Human biochemistry reveals wrinkles we did not know about all the time. A company might spend a billion dollars developing a drug only to find in clinical trials that some previously unknown enzyme or receptor or feedback mechanism makes the drug unmarketable. Mathematical models can't work well if there are these unknown sitting there waiting. They can't be predicted. They have to be found the hard way by wet biochemistry investigation. It would be like trying to use math when new integers keep showing up between the old ones.

The same thing that has always happened in history.
The same thing that has always happened in history is mass slaughter and wars over what's left.

I have a much better startup idea than this. Wireless Plumbing!
Hell no. I hold the patent on delivering shit in discrete packets.
On the other hand, I found a nano in the street. Run over and dented. Scuffed and sanded by asphalt. Plugged it in and it worked like new.
And if you are working on a great idea when he shows up, carefully turn all your papers over and change the subject.
I had the volume up too loud watching Aliens and... well, we got nuked from orbit. Sorry.

Handicapped. Thus the Christ on a crutch saying.
And a synonym for whoosh.
I don't think they use carbon black in asphalt. It's basically pitch and rocks and is naturally black. You may be thinking of tires?
the US is in no way better than some dictator bombing his own citizens.
My fear is that in the future we may pray that we are only bombed by our own dictator.

I don't work for MSFT, but I saw a MSFT employee beat the crap out of Chuck Norris with a Mac Book.
That's how Chuck Norris scratches an itch.

We all have quirky habits. Quirky habits do not a genius make.
People don't work with Trump. They either work for him or have no business with him at all.
If you are by any chance looking to send something or someone out of space...
If I knew where the hell "out of space" was, I might be interested.
I don't have a kneejerk bad reaction to this news. Maybe there is justification for it. But I am not going to give them my $50 annually anymore.
