Yes but it will create a lot of robot jobs. Millions of jobs! The best jobs! China wants those jobs but they can't have them! Patriotic jobs! Big success! Succulent greatness!

I am actually optimistic about this. Airline predatory pricing has been around for quite some time, and this enormously greedy move looks like the straw that broke the camel's back if I've ever seen on. Avarice always ends up scouring itself in the end.

If this goes through I would expect a complete ban on "dynamic" pricing within two years, and possibly a ban on AI-determined pricing overall.

Go greed go!

Given how much money they are making off those "free" services they would provide customer service and still make bank if forced.

I would love to have an AI call every middle manager or up at google every 20 seconds and ask when they plan to implement customer support phone lines.

From TFA:

"Aida said the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.
As salt is also present in soil, a piece about five centimetres (two inches) in size disintegrates on land after over 200 hours, he added."

It's finally the year of the Linux Deskpop in Russia!

On a related note, ArduPilot really needs to update the section on "use cases" on their webpage.

You don't like twenty pages of Aes Sedai adjusting their skirts and thinking about if anyone noticed them adjusting said skirts?

Cut out the pointless arguing between Nynaeve, Elayne, Birgitte, and Egwene (and all the asinine Dae's dae'mar stuff) and you will be down to about 8 books. That could be really handy in order to flesh out the storylines in the last three since Perrin and Mat never get the chapters they need to fit into the wheel properly, and so many threads like Lanfear, Moiraine, Isam, Black Tower, Foxes and Snakes, Shara, Seanchan / Tuon, and more, never get any reasonable conclusion, they are just snipped and packed away in an effort to quickly end the series.

The series consists of 15 books, the last three being written by Brandon Sanderson (who is probably an AI) as Robert Jordan died in 2007 (probably due to something woman related if his books are any indication).

I agree that the books are grievously lacking. I disagree with you on the series being better.

They absolutely butchered the main plots of the source material. Granted, it's not particularly good source material. On the other hand, why use the books at all if all they use is a vague idea of the story and progression?

It's a shame. I loved these books when I was 13, I found them insightful, appealing, and well written. Because of the show affronting me I decided to read the books again recently. They were, alas, not as good 30 years later.

You never want a statistician in charge of downsizing.

The worst years are the ones where headcount is an uneven number.

And you are pulling the same stupid shit. Not everyone follows the Trump moron, and I fail to see why Americans should be treated as a monolithic entity when Europeans should not. Perhaps you need a reminder that the best era of humanity was when individuals were treated as individuals and judged only by their own actions rather than as representatives of a nebulous population or landmass.

Is there a chance of this making it to the consumer market? I really want to have wood this hard.
