The worst part is that he could have just said "nationalise driverless cars" and that would have even more benefits without none of the stupidity, but you can tell he's doing so many mental gymnastics to avoid something like that and keep it in the Free Market(tm). It's not a truly free market until unemployed cars beg you for a charge as you walk down the street.

I think it's more that clearly people would be involved but the point is that at the core it would require little human thought and it is more "pure" if you describe it as the CEO not existing instead of what would really happen where there is a CEO nominally but his business decisions are so data driven that he is only making the same decisions the data would have told anyone or no one to make.

i am harry posted:I drove my moms 2001 echo at about that mileage for a few years, is yours seafoam too? I did seafoam the fuel once (the car is red). I run synthetic oil on a 6000-mile change schedule. Car consumes a quart every 5000 miles or so. Original clutch. I did wear out the clutch pedal rubber, but I fixed it with Shoe-Goo. I bought it new in 2000 for $12,500. It runs silent and smooth but nowadays it sits at the train station during the week. I work in LA and stay there during the week. Only have the folding bike for transportation during the week. Amtrak home on Friday, back on Monday.

At least back in the old days when the projector jammed it would melt the film and look cool. I got out of seeing most of Encino Man thanks to that happening, my only regret is that it didn't break down earlier in the movie.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Windows POSready is XP for cash registers and is still a current microsoft product with support until fall 2019. Oh not actual, literal, normal desktop XP. That's less terrifying. Looks like POSReady and Embedded Standard are the last two and they're both unsupported within the year. So if we're lucky it'll be less than a half decade before the last XP machines stop seeing use. Then again there are still a couple hundred million still kicking around so maybe not.

Moatman posted:Oh not actual, literal, normal desktop XP. That's less terrifying. Microsoft actually basically never fully stops support, once you get to final end of life they still give you the option for custom extended support. Which is an option that costs literally millions or tens of millions of dollars but means they will make you patches and support for old stuff as long as you keep paying. Whole companies worth of cash registers seem like the exact sort of thing where that will get utilized a lot and keep windows XP in relatively active development for a very very long time.

Hey remember Juicero? They did it again. https://twitter.com/businessinsider/status/1027549307547869185 e: actually it both had a kickstarter and was sued by Juicero last year, and it isn't as bad as the Juicero since it isn't entirely based around a nearly premade, expensive, non-refillable packet but still Moatman fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Aug 11, 2018 |

What does look "handy" about this compared to a regular juicer? Cleaning the bags seems like a hassle, everything about this machine is ill-conceived and seems primarily designed to sell you dumb "juice packs".

It really does baffle me how many of these things keep cropping up that are just monumentally stupid. What are they going to do next? Fancy, artisinal flashlights? Luxury toothpicks? It's loving juice. It isn't like this is some new, complex technology that was just invented. People have known about juice as long as they've known about fruit.
