Your logic is ok, your math is bad. Sixty wpm is more like 60*7 (word average) = 420 chars per *minute*. I've never heard of anyone who can type sixty characters per second.
But what your writing about is transcription, not writing what you're thinking as you go. Typing is actually pretty bad for that as your speech doesn't form grammatically correct (just witness all the bad sentences spoken aloud by anyone not reading notes - and even those that are).
Yes, I can type faster than I can talk normally, but only don't give a shit how the text looks or reads afterward and if I don't try to rush my speech.
Writing takes much more time but it also is far more precise.
Unfortunately, as of late articles about astronomy have been overrun with unnecessary injection of LIFE!!!!! It's no more than an attempt to make it more "sexy" - read clickbait - to the average reader and many online sites (ala The Daily Galaxy) have grabbed that flag with ferver. And, as demonstrated with this very example, they are shoddy in their use of language because of it.
If it's the soothing voice, I don't want a personal relationship with my machinery.
If I want to search for or order something, I already can. I don't need to speak out loud as I actually type as fast as I can speak and someone else in the room can't enter anything, making eavesdropping impossible.

Bush not serving a third term? Limitations. Bush had nothing to do with it. Your comment reads like rant, not parody.
No. Neurons form and die off all the time. No one can tie anything other than a direct physical injury to a specific neuron's death.
And there we have the political underpinning for the false statement.
Emphasis mine. So you're already aware that there are laws dealing with the problem. To want to make it a free speech issue is disingenuous.
Never had a boss like this, wouldn't work for one that was. Get a little self respect.
"I find it hard to turn notifications off and put the phone away, but people gotta start making the effort.
Fixed it for you. Don't project.
Only to those of us who own such devices. I've never seen the need.
SlashDot, another name for knee-jerk reflex.
Because... you can read masses of future hypothetical minds?
Neither of those suppositions of yours leads to the conclusions you draw.
Never once have I had to do that for a project. Ballparks and estimates, sure, but *exactly*, never.
That also, I have never had to do. That you would speaks volumes to your post.
"First of all, the latter is in a foreign language and therefore won't be immediately connected with Earth."
I certainly hope you wrote that tongue in cheek.

I took a nap instead of standing in the yard and looking at the moon cross the sun. Been there, seen that.
Same result. What was your point?
Excellent. I was going to mention that little bubble but you beat me to it and - well done. Most here will have to look it up.
Never hated my career. Never felt I couldn't 'take that risk'. Always had plenty of outside interests I devoted time to. Simply can't relate.
Were the findings skewed? Keep in mind Robert Half makes their living in job placement. If people don't want to change jobs, they don't have income.
Now let's compare his scenario to yours and decide which is absurd. Hint: Yours.
As if the audio sails by the program and isn't stored in memory and parsed as many times as needed.
Corn is wind pollinated. Bees have nothing to do with it. Hence the tassels.
Bullshit.
Which is why every fucking time it's said there needs to be someone pointing out it's a lie.
One can safely ignore anything else you have to say whilst waiting for someone who doesn't lie.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would simply understand this. A waste of money.
Hint to researchers: You'll share your follicle mites as well. Jeez.
Also, "pulling it out" indicates he's never attempted that before. That stuff doesn't exactly snake through the angles it's been run.
