Well, if 2% of Tesla's workforce was so bad it needed firing all at once, I'd say it's the management that was underperforming.
Perhaps Management took their hands off the wheel, the autopilot nagged them about it, and they finally put down the coffee and morning paper and started paying attention again - before they entered an intersection with a crossing semi-truck.
I follow this mantra.
Most of the time it's easier to just type in what you want anyway.
And my question, related to this, is if the voice assistants really make things easier or are really needed for *most* things? For example, all the commercials for these things showing them doing dumb or pointless things like, "Alexa show me the nearest hair salons" when the mom mis-cuts her daughters hair-- how many times will you actually do (a) butcher her hair or (b) need to find something near where you actually live? Or "Alexa, turn on the Roomba". If our future is this level of lazy dumbness, we all deserve to go extinct.
The one straight white male in new Star Trek will be portrayed as evil or incompetent.
You might want to update your signature.
Actually, to enhance the diversity of the cast, I heard the one straight white male will be played by a gay minority female. Sounds interesting (but not enough to sign up for CBS All Access).
I replied, very politely, but in front of other people, "Do you even know how computers work?"
"Do you even know how computers work?" is not a polite response no matter what tone of voice you used.
I actually wasn't trying to be snarky, I was so startled by the insistence to try something so obviously stupid that I was genuinely curious. As I said, lesson learned.
Professionals do not scream at other people and use profanity, let alone to their bosses.
You can get into real trouble w/o doing any of those things. I once had a new manager (who was, "a quick learner") who wanted me to put a Fiber Channel card designed for a PC into a $200k HP server to, "see if it would work". I replied, very politely, but in front of other people, "Do you even know how computers work?" I got fired the next day. (Which, turns out, was for the best. I got another job within a month at the same pay. Had that one for 16 years.)
Lesson learned: Don't let people push your buttons.
You could augment with a "kibble dispenser" that's triggered at the same time you send the delivery person a message that "the dog will be distracted for the next 7 minutes or so... please don't dawdle."
I initially thought you'd go in a different direction with "kibble dispenser" involving a tasty treat for the delivery person.
I've been saying for years that "dark matter" and "dark energy" aren't really things. They're placeholders for some type of matter or interaction we'll discover later.
That we're finally able to detect these baryon filaments is a solid step in the right direction to finally solving the "dark" mystery.
Not quite. TFA and TFS say that Dark Matter exists *and* they just found the missing "regular" matter. (highlighting mine):
You have probably heard about the hunt for dark matter, a mysterious substance thought to permeate the universe, the effects of which we can see through its gravitational pull.
But our models of the universe also say there should be about twice as much ordinary matter out there, compared with what we have observed so far.

Technically, your post is off-topic too - just sayin'.
I would. I hate everything.
You must be a fun first date sexconker. :-)

The upcoming revision that will deliberately break what Mozilla's asshat developers insist on terming "legacy" addons - notably including NoScript ...
NoScript is migrating to a WebExtensions API version: https://blog.mozilla.org/addon...

I'm sure I'll feel like having the Chinese Space Station crash again an hour later.

Next thing you know they will be robbing liquor stores and pirating music!

... suspended Grupe for 12 days for yelling and using inadequate language with his boss.
So, he wasn't rude enough?

Well a shed would be a LOT more money than a doorbell.
True, but regarding potential theft, the contents of that shed will be the parcel, while the contents of your house are the contents of your house.
"Sooty Birds" is a failed version of "Angry Birds" targeted at smokers. It's now being re-branded for millennials as "Vaping Birds".
What plans? You mean, if North Korean attacks, bomb them back to the Stone Age - meaning, "last week".
The film stated that Tyrell went bankrupt because the manufacture of replicants was outlawed.
Yup, remember that, but wasn't that outlawed because of "the blackout"?
Maybe I'll have to see the film again...
If you want to get medical treatment (from the official sources) you have to get sterilized, too.
I think that's also in the recent Republican ACA repeal and replace plans.
In any event, "blade runner" refers to smugglers of medical supplies (like, scalpels). I have to admit, it is a cool name.
Or, now, people who smuggle servers (computers, not waiters).
Sadly that headline was copied verbatim from the New Scientist story.
Or, rather, had just been finally copied.
