Well the problem is 99% of people have their taxes auto deducted from their check throughout the year. So not doing your taxes, for the most part would do nothing.

That's why labor strike would be doubly effective. You cut off both work, and taxes at the same time.

Imma blow your mind, but all cars have this same problem. Literally any car that doesn't have ppf film on it should have bird poop and bugs cleaned off ASAP. It will discolor your paint, make it chip easier, or at worst make it completely fall off in that spot. Especially if you live in an area where birds have access to berries and stuff that can make their poop even more acidic.

I mean, when that xkcd was made, that was a hard task. Now identifying a bird in a picture can be done in realtime on a raspberry pi in a weekend project.

The problem in the op isn't really a limitation of AI, it's coming up with an inventory management system that can detect low inventory without being obtrusive in a users life. The rest is just scraping local stores prices and compiling a list with some annealing algo that gets the best price to stops ratio.

Steam literally started as a way to easily patch and find servers for your valve games. They didn't start selling other games on there until a few years later.

But that's the thing though right? No man's sky will always be known for sucking at first. Sure it got better, but it did suck. It will forever have that taint of sucking attached to it.

It's better to be remembered as being good from the start.

I was gonna say, maybe he knocked Santa off a roof or something.

I'm currently using a Samsung flip 5. I have it set up to use all my main apps on the outer screen, so I can just have a small screen. Then I have the option to open it for apps that I might want to be on a larger screen.

It's working out pretty well. Some days I never even use the inner screen.

They could make a small screen phone, but thicker to make more room for a bigger battery.

Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn't useful.

It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it's all good, or pull it out if it's done. You can't do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it's course.

Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.

Reminds me of a story about Jackson Pollock, don't know if it really happened though or is just a joke.

At a Jackson Pollock exhibition, there was a group of art connoisseurs discussing one of his paintings where it was all black and gray except for one little streak of red. They were going back and forth saying what they all thought he meant by it. Was it the futility of man staring into the void, was it that even in darkness there is always hope, etcetera.

But then Jackson Pollock showed up and some one asked him and he told them, "Oh that? That happened when I was painting that one over there"

I think you call his bluff, play chicken with him. See what he comes up with as his terms to the agreement, read the contract, have lawyers check it for loopholes and it they find one, sign the deal and exploit it.

Then donate the money to another foundation.

At some point I'd be willing to bet he would back down and not follow through, but anybody that is in a position to call him on his bullshit should do it

My problem with all of it is, they've built that shit into the browser. That means baked into the browser, it is watching what I'm doing and doing things on its own based on what I do.

It leaves the door open for them to bother me/phone home anytime I do something that isn't in their interests. Are they going to add in similar things for me looking for windows, office, GitHub, or Xbox alternatives?
