"We won't approve payment for surgery, chemo, or radiation therapy since it's not cancer."
Won't someone please think of the poor Harvard MBAs during this challenging time in their lives?
But we'll only mention one in the article, just to keep you guessing. WTF?
We'll only mention one company, that no one has ever heard of.
One example of the technology's current shortcomings: The vehicles can't swerve back and forth to warm up the tires.
What? Why not?
It's impossible today to do a correct grip estimation.
What? Why not?
Seriously, there's nothing inherently magic about swerving a car to warm up tires or gathering sensor data to determine grip. So, the car didn't have that today, but why couldn't it have it tomorrow?
Theater chains are responding with enhanced experiences and loyalty programs to draw audiences back.
Two of our local theaters closed. The one remaining one is disgusting. It's not maintained at all. The seats, floors, counters, and restrooms are all filthy and in disrepair. It's clear that the chains are unwilling or unable to afford to pay for adequate staff to maintain the facility. I'm not paying a hundred bucks for a night out to enjoy that "enhanced experience".
I can't find any reference to the applicants being paid the same as a 40 hour week. Are they getting an hourly increase to match their previous rate or are they effectively losing a day's pay every week?
Have you met users? You could show a giant red warning that says "DANGER! THIS IS A MALICIOUS LINK! CLICKING ON IT WILL GET YOU ROBBED AND FIRED!" and they'll still click on it, fill out all the forms, and then two weeks later open a helpdesk ticket to report it. It barely matters if it shows you the underlying URL or not, except to the sort of people who read slashdot.
The only way I would give up my DNA information to a company is if they didn't hold it at all.
Even then, there's no way in hell I'd trust that they were telling the truth about them not keeping it. They have nothing to lose by lying and everything to gain.

So, this was a long-standing core of your operating philosophy and suddenly you're doing a 180. What changed? I don't have a problem with trying something and discovering it didn't work and changing course. What I have a problem with is this sudden reversal for seemingly stupid reasons. He could have just said "We were wrong about remote work and here's why..." but instead he trotted out the same old hack excuses.
"We can't charge you a monthly premium and an annual map refresh fee for features you already have on your phone for free."
You think the people who won't pay to upgrade their system to something more modern are going to pay for an emulator? They're just going to run it into the ground and then yell at their I.T. guy (who has been warning them for years).
It will hardly matter when words have no meaning. When $ISP is selling "Truly Unlimited(tm)!" service that really means "It's Truly Unlimited for the first 5 minutes of the month and then throttled down to nothing because you've already exceeded your Truly Unlimited Bandwidth Cap", then all they'll do is bury the details with more meaningless buzzwords. That's before you even get to the virtual monopolies they have in most areas.
