Because, you know, there are like only two ways to code: Liberal and Conservative. There certainly can't be a THIRD way like Funny or Informative or Surprise and Fear. Damn! Or Ruthless Efficiency!
I think there was a movie made of this story called "Charley" (?). I had to leave in the middle it was so distressing. Girl I was with married me anyway.
In cybersecurity news, it was found today that a mannequin made of jello and floating grapes successfully duplicated the unique electrical signature of Mark Zuckerberg's body.
One glaring difference between US and Euro money dealing is that in the US bank-to-bank transfers are expensive. In Germany, they are free (by law, I believe). So if you are buying a $60 item in the US, you can't afford to spend $40 to do a bank transfer so you write a check. This situation is even worse if you are trying to buy something in Europe. Bank transfers are too expensive, individuals do not take credit cards, Paypal is not popular (because euro bank transfers are ~free), you can't send a personal check and mailing cash is problematic. It's the 21st century somewhere, but not at a US bank.
Start with laptop. Remove the keyboard=Invention! Replace the keyboard=Another Bigger Invention!! Interchange the keyboard and display=Magical Invention!!! Magic Invention with added rounded corners=iSurface!!!!
Lots of low-income people in Hawaii. Schools are cash starved. Go to the library in Mountain View and you will find computers that should be in a museum. Watching tourists spend money in Honolulu gives a false impression.
People I know with solar power do it for green "feel-good" reasons, not to save money. Many wind turbines on the southern point of the Big Island stand idle and rusting. The geothermal energy plant suffers reliability problems, has not expanded much and is required by contract to sell electricity at the same rate as the oil-fired generated plants.
If your plate frame involves putting something in front of the plate (even clear plastic), it would be illegal in NY. Not sure how many other states do this.
I once had a temp job back in 1970 where I was required to sit at a designated intersection and write down 5 license plate numbers of cars going by every 15 minutes or so. I was never told why I was doing this and after a week I became uneasy and pressed for more information. They refused to explain anything and I quit. Just felt creepy.
This guy is joking right? How about mandatory diversity training? How about supervisors getting instantly fired? When you get dragged into court over this, you had better have your diversity officer explain under oath how your company is blameless because you have mandatory training courses for all employees.
You probably drive over 80-year-old bridges to get to 80-year-old buildings. You might take 80-year-old medications. There are probably 80-year-old scientific theories that are still valid. There there's all the 80-year-old music and art you might still admire. An 80-year-old fossil is not to be trusted, however.

A regular cloud yes, but not an iCloud.
Kornbluth story "The Little Black Bag" is great though.

Samuel R. Delany. I found it bleak and hard to digest.

I thought this was health care!
Glad I'm not participating in helping them achieve their profit!
This is why we need a corporate-type to be president. Business schools are a bottomless pit of managerial competence. Just look at Kodak...err
da Vinci would be proud.
They don't have the time or the manpower.

Only guns with rounded corners will be banned. I assume these things can't 3D print ammo.

Why were you doing this kind of stuff at work?
