Alcohol is a very poisonous substance for humans. If you associate joy with alcohol, you should seek help. Trivializing it in naming and news articles is dangerous.
It's really hard to understand how people who call themselves computer geeks or nerds, can still find such attraction to alcohol, tobacco, or even worse, sports beside FPS, RTS, or RPG games...
Geez mom, I told you not to embarrass me in front of my friends.
Besides, you got alcohol and tobacco, and left out firearms. What, are you drunk?
The famous Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that position and velocity of a particle are related and cannot be simultaneously measured precisely.
What if 2 people watch? One for position and one for velocity.
That violates the principle; you cannot measure one to any useful degree of precision without making the other quantity ever more uncertain in its measured value.
You could get rough and useless ballpark estimates by not measuring either well at all, but: the more usefully precise you get with one measurement, the more the imprecision of your measurement of the other value head off towards infinity; AKA "Useless Value Achievement" Unlocked!.
IANAP, Obviously. The foregoing is based on what is in the trade known as an, "ABC Television AfterSchool Special Level" physics knowledge. The More You Know (TM)
Who needs to catch up? What do you assume that if a company isn't the biggest in their field that they've wasted their efforts? You must be an American.
We get it there, Jamaican Bobsled Team. Consolation ribbons all around. That is how the real business world works of course. I think it was Adam Smith who wrote, "Ribbons are a kind of return." and "There is nobility in burning available capital just to reach 10th Place."
A Korea (I know it's the wrong Korea, but it's still a Korea) needs to build farms to increase their military. It's like a real life Warcraft game.
Probably right. let's hope KJU isn't planning a raiding party. Cause then it's The Mixed Metaphor Wars, with the US going all "Games of Drones" and Russia dragging out their copy of "Risk" (aka https://translate.google.com/#...).
At this late stage, trying to catch up to AWS or Azure would be a death march. They should try something with better odds, say, invading Russia during the winter.
Choice getting you down? Are you paralyzed by the array of different breads available at the store? Well have I got the solution for you, friend: Bread Lines! Everyone waits in one long line, and you get handed bread. "What kind?" you ask? Sometimes it's rye, sometimes it's pumpernickel, sometimes it's nothing at all! The important thing is you don't have to worry. Let the State worry for you.
Psshh. You bread eaters sure do whine a lot. What with your warm social breadline networks, and your rotating flavors of bread. Show off.
The basic example argument here is that having a choice of 150 pension plans and not choosing any is bad?
Except... when the company providing those plans fails and takes all your money with it... in which case, picking any plan BUT none, is a bad idea..
There may be some rare instance where a company offers 150 universally bad options, but IME at least one is a simple match that goes into an index. Even if some crazy fund returns zero percent after fees, saving up principal is better than saving nothing for retirement.
I think the general point of TFA is that on average holding other factors constant (and not the edge case of 150 ripoff-only principal-stealing options) it is a matter of people can't hold 150 options in their minds all at once for comparison.
What is "accidental" and "worst" about picking nothing. To me that means that the person didn't really want/need the item in the first place, and the plethora of choices led the person to make the correct choice, ie., nothing.
I think picking no retirement option is a sign of being overwhelmed, i.e., "choice paralysis," not a sign that, "after careful consideration, none of these 150 plans are mathematically better than not saving for retirement at all."
I'm going to miss Mythbusters. My biggest complaint is that I can never find the show on TV. It seemed to be on all of the time when it first started. Now it airs during some secret time slot that moves constantly..
What? It's on Channel Pi at Eleventy-three past the hour, alternating fifth Wednesdays following every full moon. Sheesh. Lazy.

I would pay dearly for a bottle of comet wine that has aged 1 billion years.
Yes, by definition it pairs well with Paleo anything.
Well, it emits much water too and if you analyze it more closely, you'll see that it resembles Unicorn pee.
Just say it. Budweiser.
Scoffs at your somewhat blackish material, awaits actual wearable black hole.
Still not as black as my ex-wife's heart.
Yours had a heart? Show off.
Naming your kid after an obviously comic-book-based superhero like: "Captain Rock Stevens".
So obviously DC Golden Age. amirite?

Hooray for reporters misunderstanding physics!
So, just reporters then?
My wife can freeze thing just by looking..
I never noticed that before.
Kidding! Please put the rifle dow...
That would be the Dorito Effect.
The Dorito Interial Reference Frame: all other reference frames are unobserved until half time.
So, it's the "DOT Road Crew Effect."
Alvin Toffler wrote about "overchoice" in his 1970's book Future Shock. I guess no one read it.
Sorry. With so many book options on the shelf... well, you know...

They are in decline because the economy is collapsing

Now the starvation economy, there's where choice isn't a problem. http://www.ibtimes.com/amid-no...
I have this friend that believes he'll never be disappointed if he just thinks the worst is going to happen at any given moment.
So, he codes in Perl?

We only do $750 billion dollars worth of trade with the US and ship them 3,000,000 barrels of crude a day (more than OPEC put together)
Sheesh. Who knew there were Canadians on here? I didn't even know they had Slashdot in Canadia.
They'll have to pry my penis from my cold, dead hands.
I think there's a subreddit devoted to that exact fetish.
Here in the south, we still use 'em fer writin'. Them that can write, I mean.
Thought it said "Nurses" and "Make-out Spaces" I've been watching too much por...um, poorly plotted low budget movies.
