This is uncannily similar to the 2014 Robocop remake.
Look at Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez.

Sure, but the interest on $81 trillion, even for just a few hours until they do fix it would be substantial. At 1% interest rate you earn $92M/hour!
What's the overdraft fee on $81 Trillion?

Wasn't Comet the name of the fictional browser that was being developed by a group of characters on the show "Halt and Catch Fire"?
It was supposedly based on a web index project started by Gordon [Clark] and Donna's daughter Haley?

20% cut in pay is a correct calculation but it would be a 25% increase in rate of pay
I was really hoping somebody would point this out. As an hourly employee, every time someone brings up the 4 day work week I cringe a little. Most people are assuming salaried workers. Nobody really mentions *exactly* how it works for hourly employees, but it seems like there's room for deception here.

Every time this subject comes up I recommend reading Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson.
Ever since I've read it I periodically I run across a news item that was predicted in this novel, even Meth-Gators.
Comment How do you represent 1% of reviews in a blurb? (Score 2) 72
I don't want the AI to *only* tell me about the good reviews, but how do you represent 1% in a paragraph?
Maybe it should be a word cloud instead?
Comment Re:F U DoorDash (Score 1) 400
But a lot of people today that are using delivery apps like DoorDash, UberEats, etc. don't tip. So if a driver can pick and choose the delivery they want to do, guess which ones aren't going to get picked?
If the Dashers have complete transparency with respect to choosing the orders they want to deliver, how long before they won't deliver my order not because I didn't tip, but because it's not a large enough order? Larger order, larger tip. Where does it end?

Frankly, this is pretty typical of the type of thing Apple does. They quote metrics all the time without any type of context that would give them any real meaning.
