Amazing how execs are so valuable and unique that they can't be replaced by AI. I could see many millions saved for just a few of these dead weights.

Recent studies suggest that it does not have anywhere near as much acid in its atmosphere as we thought, especially in the upper atmosphere where heâ(TM)s talking about.
For the quick version of why you donâ(TM)t want WiFi security cameras - itâ(TM)s a very common approach already for burglars to use to fire up a WiFi jammer as they go in. You end up with your security cameras dropping out exactly when you need them.
Yes, but then until it crashed because of completely not cosmic ray related issues, ingenuity used off the shelf computers, and on the ISS you will find bog standard modern computers for the astronauts to process data on.
Yup, I'm sure they haven't thought about this issue at all when considering putting computers in space.
With your solution, all a thief must do is unplug the receiver, or wrap it in tin foil, and theyâ(TM)re home free.
At this point I'm thinking that it is just a normal human condition and shouldn't be diagnosed as a disability. It is like calling hunger a disability. This is something to be exploited by helicopter parents and students looking for an advantage.
Wait, people will exploit loopholes that are treated as sacred cows? "How dare you question disabilities!?" I'm shocked!
No, it's never meant that.
In the UK, million has always meant 10^6. Milliard has always meant 10^9, but has fallen out of favor. Billion used to mean 10^12, but now usually means 10^9. Billiard has always meant 10^15, Trillion used to mean 10^18, and now usually means 10^12.
I mean, as long as they continue to bill uncle sam less than their competitors, i'm fine with this.
Well, to be fair, itâ(TM)s a firmware change, so itâ(TM)s something that can mostly be done in parallel. Set 20 planes updating the firmware and when you get to the end of the row start running the verification process. No need to spend 5 hours on each plane individually.
Radiation on Mars really isn't an issue. Radiation levels on Mars are on average 0.64mSv per day. Radiation levels in Ramsar, Iran are 0.71mSv per day (that's entirely natural, not some crazy weapons program the Iranians are running). Want to know how many extra cancers there are in Ramsar due to the elevated natural radiation levels? None. Absolutely none at all. In fact, Ramsar has a lower cancer rate than both other cities in Iran, and the world in general. This matches a pattern where it seems that people exposed to low-moderate radiation levels actually appear to have lower risks for cancer than people not exposed to any elevated radiation at all.
There certainly will be areas of Mars with high radiation levels due to geology, altitude, etc, and we'll want to avoid those areas, or use shielding, but the average case is really not a problem at all.
While you're not wrong about pushing a bunch of recycled crap in a lot of cases, you're just plain wrong (TM) on prices. The price of games has been falling for decades when you adjust for inflation. The average retail boxed game has cost:
1985: $35 ($110 after adjusting for inflation)
1990: $50 ($125)
1995: $60 ($125)
2000: $60 ($115)
2005: $60 ($105)
2010: $60 ($95)
2015: $60 ($85)
2020: $60 ($75)
2025: $80 ($80)
As you can see, the "$20" price increase is rather more modest when you account for inflation, and is a *long way* from offsetting the drop in pricing that we've seen over the past 3 decades. The games industry, unfortunately, can't survive on expecting the base of players to continuously expand, like it has in the past. If they're going to pay all the people working on these games, they genuinely do need to keep up with inflation now.

Indeed, now it's not dark matter, but instead the matter previously known as dark.
