The Las Vegas Fry's is still vacant, too. Best Buy has this market to itself.
I really hit a bullseye on this, didn't I? Replies are everything from "this is a conspiracy theory" to "this is bipartisan (and vaccines because why not)" to "I will DARVO you for this!" to "doctors can't be activists, and certainly don't want to have their thing get more money, and there's absolutely no historic precedent otherwise (please ignore massive amounts of precedent to contrary!)"
This is indeed a "conspiracy theory" in that it's a fact that is unpalatable for activists. It is indeed bipartisan in that activists included everything from "dollar signs in their eyes" doctors to soccer mommies who got a reason their Billy is not just SPECIAL, but SUPER SPECIAL, which makes her way more important than other soccer mommies at their next book club meeting. To the political activists who assumed that the more fake grievances they can generate in people, the more votes they can grab for their cause.
Yes, because "right wing conspiracy" stands for "facts left wing doesn't like".
Have a gander at a list of other "facts left wing doesn't like" presented in another reply.
Because it's infuriating digging through a drawer that has multiple USB cables to try to remember which are power only, thus safe to use in public USB chargers.
"Look at data (which I choose to call "facts" because I'm very smart). Don't look at context".
I award you "redditor on slashdot" award.
It's pretty well understood that current "let's get everything under the same umbrella so activists can claim they have more support" has been modus operandi for far left activists for a while now. Autism is one of those things: they bolted together "being quirky" and "can't be toilet trained, can't speak, constant random bouts of uncontrollable rage and violence" under the same umbrella. This enables former to claim victimhood and ask for political changes and resources based on the latter's situation.
When in reality, they have nothing in common. This isn't even diabetes kind of a situation, where causes are completely different but treatment is partially similar. This isn't even hepatitis like situation where treatments are different, but at least the illness is in the same place.
It's many completely different things, many of which aren't even an illness, all being grouped together for political reasons.
"Some" does all the heavy lifting in this one. Because tens to hundreds of thousands is not "some" by any reasonable measure, and internet is choke full of them now that bodycams have become ubiquitous, and youtubers know how to request them.
This is progress. The USB-C cable and charger is no longer new tech, and cheap versions that work well enough are readily available. Devices should start advertising the recommended wattage and let stores stock chargers sorted by that.
Let me check:
And no, they weren't fishermen, lol. If a guy jumps out of an alley with a knife do you assume he must be a surgeon?
Considering how many responses here miss the point and instead of going "yeah, we need to work harder on this" went full on "I got mine, it works for me, and fuck you"...
We're not going to have a shortage of those proclamations. In fact, abundance of those proclamations will likely be only matched by utter lack of install base.
Indeed. Most readers won't be ancient enough to remember stenographer pools, mechanical typewriters, and telegrams. They'll have seen video but that cannot convey lived experience. They won't have experienced the transition between manual machine tools and vastly mor capable CNC machining, but we all live in the outcomes.
The critical difference was that those old machines, and the software that replaced them, were created to make human workers more productive. To grow company profits through increased worker output. AI is designed to increase profits by flat out replacing those workers, not making them more productive. AI is intended to kill two birds with one algorithm: create software that does human work better and faster than any human could, and then eliminate the costs of human employment.... salaries, insurance and other benefits, training, et al. That's the crucial difference, the intent to replace people, period.
Friction is a drag.
