What? They are making and supporting a tool used to create and you're comparing them to vandals a thieves? Are you asking why they want to make money? Are you suggesting they change business models?
Seeing as how they talk at one point about being before self driving cars are common, I'm assuming they mean the immediate future. Like the next five years.
Very few people prognosticate 100 or 1000 years into the future anymore, it's just too hard to predict.
No, the point the article is trying to make is that you will not be impressed by the robots of the future. Rather than amazing high tech marvels, what will become common is everyday robots that are just good enough to do what they need to.
In other most other countries (I can't speak for Finland) with split vocational/professional systems, you don't "choose" the vocational or professional path, your test results land you in one or the other. I would also assume that you are leaning basic skills in all paths, just flavored with your particular branch, so if you swtitched branches you would still get something out of it.
The odds are very good that your teenager will crash their first car. There are a variety of factors that go into this, but the number one is probably inexperience. When they crash, you want them in something with the most modern safety standards. As my father used to say, machines can always be replaced, people can't. I would hate to be in a situation where my thrift ended up killing my kid.
Looking further at the article, and the comments posted to it allegedly from the "tester", I'm more inclined to believe that no, this wasn't any kind of "test", this was actual disturbed behavior, and furthermore I don't see any evidence that any system on Facebook's end led to the involvement of the police, it seems more likely that he was reported by people who read his posts. All in all I think this article wasn't worth linking to in the first place.
I have to wonder what other things he "tests"? Airport bomb detectors? The White House fence alarms? His neighbor's back door lock? Unless he was contracted by Facebook to test their services, he mostly seems to be a jackass who is wasting everybody's time. Or, just maybe, he's actually got a problem and is trying to make an excuse for his behavior.
Guessing here, but if he came in without a diagnosis it might have made his hold time longer as they would want to be absolutely sure he was just "faking". Most people who come in have existing diagnoses and the hold just lasts long enough to get them to take a few cycles of their medication, if he came in as a blank slate they would spend longer trying to figure out how to classify him and what steps to take.
I was thinking about how this is trivial and useless this was as a submission, but I clicked through, and the first cover - "Son of the Wind" is pure gold. A+++ will view again
It's more of a question of supply chain. I have to make a bulb, transport it and put it on a shelf. The unit cost for making the bulb will still be lower ( I assume) but the overhead has to be recovered from the few bulbs sold, and retailers either will expect more profit for stocking them or they will have to be shipped directly.
I looked up "loathe to admir", It brought up something about Bosnian given names. Perhaps if I looked up loathe to admit... No, I am sure a flawless individual like yourself would never misspell a word in a post, nay, the very sentence, that attacks someone for using a highly similar homophone.
It's not a question of whether they are fake, of course they are fake. It's a question of degrees - if the report says s 5% increase, is it a 4.5% or a 2.5% increase? Is it actually a 1% decrease? Nobody is telling the unvarnished truth, but how desperate are they to get good numbers? Incidentally, these are the questions you should be asking when buying stock as well.
Really? They went after iodine? It was bad enough a few years back when they made it hard as hell to get lye (which seems to have changed somehow) but iodine? Especially seeing as how its super easy to get from KI, which is still available everywhere. Someone needs to start a campaign against the war on chemistry while we can still buy glassware.
I actually agree - it's useless legislation. LEDs are so much more efficient, and so much longer lasting that they are quite capable of phasing out incandescent lamps without regulatory help. With the economy of scale and decreasing manufacturing costs, it won't be long until LED lamps are almost at price parity with incandescent lamps, which means the latter won't be manufactured except for a few decorative purposes. It's one of the rare times where the invisible hand is actually working as advertised.
$40? That seems excessive, was this a while back? I recently bought one for $7. I was skeptical until I realized that at 7.5w vs 60w, if it lasts 8 months it will have paid for itself.
Do any of you really expect the $12 billion a year firearms industry to just let you make your own guns, when they have about a third of congress on speed dial? Just watch, this guy is going to get it from both sides.
So unlike Apple? Has everyone forgotten the 20th anniversary Mac? Underpowered at its release, three times the price of a comparable Mac? C'mon people, I'm an unrepentant Apple user and I remember this - Apple making a really expensive version of something they have and selling to the rich is old hat.
What might be interesting with these is the opportunity to use them as trendsetters - Jay-Z wears one for a month, a thousand lesser celebs wear them for the next couple years, then the $500 version hits the streets - with two years of data to improve the user experience and make it more integrated and useful.

I can't understand your mindset.

Finland has some of the highest test scores in the world But don't let that stop your baseless rant.
In other most other countries (I can't speak for Finland) with split vocational/professional systems, you don't "choose" the vocational or professional path, your test results land you in one or the other. I would also assume that you are leaning basic skills in all paths, just flavored with your particular branch, so if you swtitched branches you would still get something out of it.
So how does the pay of Finnish teachers stack up against other professions there?

Don't mind me, I'm just enjoying this blank comments page before it becomes a shitfest. My sympathies if you're coming in later.

Wow...that is unfortunate, I would not have guessed Texas. At least you can buy guns!

Only one thing to do: Gaslights

Nevermind, it seems like it is open and searchable. So yeah, maybe you don't want to give them your DNA.
