... wanted to privatize the NWS. You pay private forecasters* for whatever quality of report you want. Actually, I think he might have succeeded, as American (public) weather modeling falls far short of European and private technology*. We'll just go ahead and cripple the public offering if there's any chance that it might compete with a product that private enterprise wants to sell.
*Using publicly funded satellite and sensor data. But we'll just 'add some value' and sell it back to you.
Lots, actually. And I made great efforts to use well documented and tested system libraries instead of convincing the boss that I needed to write my own custom crap.
But then it's always easier to start from scratch if you can't understand a problem in the abstract and see how it fits existing solutions.
the dictator of morocco decided to pull a prank...
Still more easily handled in a database read by some suitably flexible functions than to hard code this sort of thing into an app. And then have to devel/build/release an emergency patch every time the king decides to prank someone.
And I didn't get anything remotely racist or anti-Semitic. But what I have gotten (in the past) is auto-completes related to my recent searches. So perhaps the author of TFA spends too much time digging around for racial slights.
Many restaurants are notoriously poorly managed. That's why they go out of business so fast even though they appear to be popular. Those that have a better handle on their expenses and cash flow will spot the loses and act to cut them off quickly.
Also, know your business. If a part of what you are selling is atmosphere, then sending the food out doesn't fit your plan. Don't do it.
some of our oligarchs moving to take control of the water supply
Those oligarchs aren't always private parties. We recently went through a bit of resource grab by the local government here in Washington State. The city water department supported an 'environmental' suit against rural property owners, effectively stopping them from drilling wells or drawing from bodies of water. And that stalled building permits. But.... the city stepped in and offered to build their utility system out. And sell these rural homes water. For a few hundred dollars a month plus $50K to $75K assessments for the pipeline construction. Funny thing: They take the city water out of the same watershed that the landowners were planning to use. So gallon for gallon, water consumption from the watershed would have been the same.
But here's the thing: If a private company (the oligarch) were to try this stunt, they'd have been run out of the state. When a government does it through a phony environmental group, there is no down side for them. Fortunately, the state legislature saw through the suit and changed the law. While the city officials will go on as though nothing happened, FOIA requests are beginning to reveal their connections to the NGOs and their employees are packing their bags pretty fast right now.

No. They will stop and wait patiently for the homeless people pushing shopping carts down the middle of the street. No automated horn or recording of "Move it, dirtbag!"

Because Mickey Mouse.
What if everyone is listening
No. Because talking meat.

Because of the Victor Borge reference? Or the APL one?

Yeah, right.
$50 billion for broadband for hobos if you let our governor decide.

Since there were no SUVs or coal plants back then, I'm laying the blame on Native American campfires.
Do you mean to tell me that these people wrote their time zone stuff without moving the data to some easily replaceable datafiles?
Step 4: Costs the same amount to have all the contractors
There's your answer. Job security for the contractors.
So HomePod doesn't even support stereo?
To be accurate, they compared the HomePod to a $999 speaker. That extra dollar might make all the difference.

Just think of how much fun Victor Borge could have had dictating this. Or APL.
If delivery detracts from it, don't do it.

Umm. The fans wouldn't mind it next door. The rest of you can just turn off your air conditioning.

It's right twice a day.
The Russian spy allegedly claimed to even have dirt on President Trump.
Who doesn't?
There is no way to "beat down" stories.
Mod -1: Clueless.
You are assuming that lots of little special interests won't pop up and recruit followers to beat down stories that don't fit their world views.
Bread and circuses.
It matters what's between her tits. Preferably, my ears.
