The first sentence makes the assumption that you can manage it. As everybody knows, when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of you and umption.
Wish I had mod points. Why someone downgraded this is beyond me because it's a huge problem.
*brrring* "Hello?" "Our records indicate that you haven't activated your 2018 online business listing..." (I get this call every damn day) Uh, yeah, your records are correct. Kudos for having good records. *click*
The worst part is that I can't even block this one because it comes from a "private" called ID.
This is a really obvious comparison. Diseases can be treated and cured because the disease doesn't organize, vote, and get legal representation. Meanwhile, improving education requires one group of people convincing another group of people that they are the problem.
I've always believed this. For every guy that gets laid a LOT, there is a guy who never does because of a variation of the First Law of Thermodynamics. Building upon this theory, there may very well be quantum entanglement when it comes to sex. For example, some guy manages to c*ckblock another guy without even being in the room.
When I was a kid, there was this sketchy guy outside my high-school selling all manner of candy out of the trunk of his car. This just reminded me of that.
The infamous hockey-stick graph researcher. The asshat won't release his research on the grounds that it belongs to him. Yeah, ok, so we're just supposed to trust that you didn't fabricate your data, didn't exclude data that refutes your claims, and that your methods are sound all while making public policy that could cost everyone a crapton of money. I've got a great insurance policy to sell you for that bridge you just bought.
Well, does that let you float the money for a month or does it do the automatic withdrawal from your bank account? And big whoop about air miles. Air miles are scam to begin with. Can't get any flight you want and any seat you want and it's not really dollar-for-dollar equal. And why would I want to give you a piece of ass?;-)
There's a good piece in the WSJ about this and the insanity of it all. In one tax district, a Twix bar is taxed at a different rate than a Snickers bar because one of the ingredients in a Twix bar is flour. Snickers, on the other hand, is considered candy. Nobody but outfits as big as Amazon could comply with all the taxation because only they have the army of people necessary to deal with it.
I, myself, have to deal with the paperwork nightmare in different states and different government agencies. It takes up so much time that I'm seriously considering tacking on a "Document preparation fee" to every invoice that requires me to fill out some stupid form e.g. the DPRC (aka The State of California) that to this day makes vendors sign a form that says "I swear on my life that I don't do business in Darfur".
It costs more money to use the service (1.82%) than you get back in rewards points on your credit card. Anyone who uses this needs to give me financial power-of-attorney because I will manage it better... for a nominal service fee.
That was my favorite line in mid-1990s SIGGraph paper presentations. Riiiiight. My other favorite was when SIGGraph "course" conveniently glossed over the C/C++ code for implementing an adaptive 4th-order Runge-Kutta solver which is the key to any dynamics simulation software.
These days, the price on the tag isn't the price. For many buyers, it's a starting point for negotiations because they think that the item in question isn't worth what's written on the tag. Of course, for the seller, it's also become a way for them to basically say that whatever they're selling is worth far more than it really is. But it doesn't stop there. Because there are legions of people who have no ability to create a product let alone a desirable one, they end up joining the ranks of bureaucracy whose mission in life is to extract money out of the flow from the creator to the consumer initially in the form of taxes but increasingly in the form of a laundry list of inscrutable fees which rarely if ever do anything productive and instead just make daily life more expensive.
Say what you want about FB but they are not legally responsible for the abuse of their software any more than Jack Daniels is responsible for people driving drunk.
There was a massive push to replace incandescent bulbs with CFL bulbs, an arguably far inferior lighting technology. It had to be done within a few years or global warming would kill us all. LED bulbs that have mostly taken over the market are a far superior technology. One can make the case that the CFL bulb industry was trying to recoup their development costs and eventual losses by getting politicians to help them out before it was too late. The LED writing was on the wall. One can make the same case with wind and solar power. They are inferior power generation methods compared to nuclear, natural gas, and more importantly, fusion power. What better way to make a killing quickly before a superior technology borks your industry than to fake your data.
Try 40 years ago. I remember visiting the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto and being totally blown away by all the cool tech there. Millenials will never ever be as cool as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Why not capture this ozone and release it into the upper atmosphere? Resurrect two birds with one stone.

It's the DPRC (Democrat People's Republic of California) bitching that they can no longer control everyone's money and dole it out as they see fit.

Jeez! Only 20 years ago, I had to use an acoustic-coupler modem strapped to a payphone handset to get e-mail.

"Facebook's core product might be to blame"
Well, when something is free, YOU are the product. Ergo, YOU are to blame.

Latency has been the biggest issue with previous satellite internet services. What's it like with this system?

Consumption be done about it? Of cough, of cough.
It's not the cough that carries you off. It's the coffin they carry you off in.
