Comment Siri is so frustrating (Score 4, Insightful) 17

It's like they spent all their time on cutesy little behaviors versus doing the hard work of building an actual functional digital assistant.

Anyone other than me get annoyed when you try to ask Siri something and, midway through while you're still talking, Siri decides to interject "Uh huh?" It's incredibly irritating and distracting. And then, 75% of the time, Siri either does the wrong thing or silently just goes away without doing anything.

This guy put together and managed a crappy team that probably should be let go in its entirety. I'm sure he's got a nice retirement package though, nice work if you can get it.

This sort of thing just happens sometimes.

But I will be curious to see how this plays out, given the Russians have already gone back and forth regarding whether they're going to stick with the ISS to the end of its operational life. They might decide the decision's been made for them.

I work at a university. Even old me is aware that Discord is used quite a bit by our students. Good luck regulating THAT.

Cumberbatch also portrayed Smaug and Sauron in The Hobbit films (2012-2014), Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), and Dr. Strange in six Marvel movies.

Yeah, let's not mention the role that made him famous - Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock, which was pretty darn good for the first couple of seasons (before it fell off a cliff).

The argument for Hyperloop is that there is a "cool" web site in Holland.

I saw that line in TFS and thought "what are we, 10 years old?"

As far as the arguments against hyperloop goes - we've hashed those out ad nauseum before. The only thing that's keeping the hyperloop hype train going is that, somehow, there are still a few Musk fanbois in existence.
