I'm not justifying anything. Just saying, someone else already made sense of this, and your trolling didn't make any sense because you didn't read TFS,TFA or the post above you properly.It dragged out a bit because you continued to paraphrase without reading.
"Though the asteroid certainly played a factor, the psychological deficit which rendered dinosaurs incapable of learning to refrain from eating certain plants had already placed severe strain on the speciesâ. Species is plural. Makes sense as is.
Huh? A "species" is different from "a species". If you put the whole thing in quotes it looks like you're quoting the article, and the article actually didn't say "a species". It says "the species".
Wait did you read the same thing I did? We're talking about the phys.org summary of the paper right? https://m.phys.org/news/2018-0......
It says "the species" not "a species", which could explain some of this confusion about singular or plural. "The species" can easily be plural.
hone
hÉ(TM)ÊSn/Submit
verb
1.
sharpen (a blade).
"he was carefully honing the curved blade"
synonyms: sharpen, make sharper, make sharp, whet, strop, grind, file, put an edge on;
2.
refine or perfect (something) over a period of time.
"some of the best players in the world honed their skills playing street football"
noun
1.
a whetstone, especially one used to sharpen razors.
"Hone in" is not a thing. If you heard someone else say it, they said it wrong or you heard them wrong. The appropriate expression is "home in" \pedentry_end.
As a New Zealander (four weeks holiday a year without expected overtime) now working in Japan (similar to USA from what I hear; two weeks holiday and expected overtime), it's not hard to see that there are many countries that operate efficiently and value quality of life.
Legislate for quality of life, efficiency becomes a necessity.
Maybe AI will help with that too, but it starts with values. Expecting long hours and short weekends and short vacation time is basically a recipe for inefficiency.
Japan is a country that has a reputation for being efficient at some levels (for some companies' time and resources), but is very inefficient at other levels, including individuals' time and quality of life for many of the companies, including some of these "efficient" ones. America is the same IMHO.
Wait, where exactly was the lie? If you said "Yes, but Intel's vulnerabilities are worse / more numerous" I'd agree. Mods, are you giving +5 for facts or for shaming?
... so we can have reasonable conversations about cryptography and secrecy?
There, I said it. I'm probably on a list now.
However, doing so would not likely to be by brute force. They like to play dumb but I'm guessing the people at the top that set the FBIs cryptography standards are a bit smarter than the FBI folk make themselves sound when they ham it up about Apple in the media.
Exactly, and daylight savings is when you get some time savings. Beside which, aren't time and money both supposed to be non-count nouns? Just saying, it's funny how we say checking account but we don't always say saving account. But you could.
Your bank savings account is exactly as grammatically incorrect as daylight savings time.
Or grammatically correct... From a certain viewpoint. You save multiple dollars multiple times. Multiple people save multiple minutes.
How about grass cuttings when you mow the lawn? Is it grammatically correct? I suspect the people that care about this stuff will come to their own conclusions long ago. The rest of us, at best, noted the difference between scientific and government publications compared with round-the-family-home usage and got on with our lives. Slow news day.
This is such a straw man. To take it to the limit... Sure, you could say Google can improve technology to the point it has the same knowledge, logic, and ability as a human brain and can therefore translate as well as a human. Even the Watson analogy: are we talking about current technology or future technology? Because the current technology of Watson is still future technology for the consumer. You don't get all that processing power and in depth search with Google translate, let alone the new earbuds.
This is insightful? Can someone who's actually lived overseas or tried learning another language here please apply mod points. 9/10 times the context that's important is from the previous sentences (sometimes far back) or from knowledge and logical inference about the world.
For the moment, the mistakes Google earbuds make will be the same as what Google translate makes. The new technology is the form factor. Google translate is good in it's limited way, but the personal information the company has doesn't give as big an advantage as you'd hope/fear.
Not to mention the second and third party information relevant to the conversation, knowledge of super-local current events (below the internet news radar) like who's sick at my workplace today.
Huh? These are in your ears. They are translating what the other person says. This is the real benefit. If you want to speak into something just use Google translate on your phone.
If we only had mirrors / prism / periscopes that wrap the light around the big trucks that I'm driving behind. I'm running through a red light? Oh, now I see, now that I'm in the middle of the intersection. I'm just following this semi-truck at a safe distance. The way the traffic lights are positioned on poles that reach above and into the middle of the lane where I am (Japan) means you have no idea unless you're following way behind.
I'll take credit for the patent, can someone please do this? The cynic in me says it won't happen on the free market because the vehicle in front invests the money but the vehicle behind gets the advantage. But it's certainly technically possible.

And since gif (jif) with a soft g is also commonly pronounced, then this is also the correct way, I'm sure you'll agree.
Do you pronounce laser with an unvoiced s then? After all, it is for "stimulated" with an s sound not stimulated (ztimulated) with a z sound.
The real question is, SQL pronounced sequel? WTF you guys? I say S.Q.L . just as fast.
Just because it makes a word doesn't make it better.
It's not supposed to be the sequel to anything, (at least any more than any other technology is).
Dad jokes FTW!
When you reinvent the wheel, you wouldn't want a rollable one?
... I dropped it on a hill and quickly lost it.
Give me a phone with flat edges any day.
Those who can't drink their coffee neat shouldn't be counted as coffee drinkers.
First time I've heard "neat" applied to coffee. Pouring it at room temperature seems pretty strange to me, but who am I to play gatekeeper?

Corporations Just Quietly Changed How the Web Works
If it's so quiet, can't you tell me what you're talking about before I have to start clicking links?
After reading and rereading the first few sentences I can infer w3c are introducing drm to the internet.
Is it so hard to say "...about introducing drm to the internet"? Then the first sentence would give a tiny bit of context instead of none.
