You're buying a code.

Someone said it was money and said it had value, and people believed it.

Robots are coming to take over jobs regardless of whether the minimum wage goes up.

If anything, I'm actually surprised that there aren't already a chain of fully automated McDonalds kiosks, with just a traveling crew of humans to maintain and restock.

Isnâ(TM)t it against the AdWords TOS to be disingenuous with your advertising like this?

The burning down of the Library of Alexandria is so overrated.

All of the Alexandrian hipsters had long ago left it behind for the Coffeeshop of Alexandria.

It's very clear from the conext of Crowder's usage that he is being hateful about Maza's sexuality.

We want every communication to be black and white, but some areas of language use are very nuanced and we don't deal with that very well. It is especially hard for content moderators to deal with.

A gay man referring to himself as a "fag" might be playfully recognizing his ostracism from conservative society.

A conservative man calling out a "fag" might be intending hate and derision, calling out the person for ridicule.

This is designed for high end video editing, period. Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm will think nothing of buying dozens of these, fully loaded, to edit their next few movies.

$6k is an entry point. Apple obviously designed this beast with the high end in mind, then asked, "How can we strip it down to an 'entry level' model for regional TV studios.

And then, because they're Apple, they always want to have Good, Better, and Best options, with the Better capturing the lion's share of sales. So they'll sell a ton of the Better systems in Hollywood.

Yep, ideas are a dime a dozen.

Execution is everything.

When AC hires a sales/support staff for his open source replacement that's even a third as large as Salesforce's, maybe he'll get some attention.

The current wake word appears to be part of the Alexa firmware. When the Echo's internet access goes down, you can still "wake" it by saying "Alexa". It just won't process any other commands because it needs the internet to do that, and will instead give you an error message.

The reason it's a list of shitty movies is because the producers of these films are looking to make bank. These films didn't do well at the box office, so this is just another revenue stream to work. This is particularly important for them if the film didn't generate enough revenue in theaters to cover expenses.

Couldn't most degrees be distilled down to "Read this stack of books, memorize these sets of facts, and perform these written exercises"?

Anyway, I have an MBA. I enjoyed it a lot. I got a lot of benefit from classroom instruction and interacting with professors. And I got enough understanding of business that I was able to start my own business, which I ran for six years.

I live in a banking town, so there were a lot of folks there getting an MBA with a finance concentration. It seemed to be very beneficial for them, career-wise.

I work in IT. My university did not have an IT concentration at the time, but I do have a lot of thoughts on how IT management should/could have been integrated into my university's program in a way that would have boosted my career even faster. But staying relevant to the job market is a problem for all degree programs, not just MBA's.

MBA enrollment generally trends with the unemployment rate. When unemployment is low, MBA enrollments drop. When unemployment is high, a lot of folks register MBA programs.
