Oh gee, too bad. 

What is “CBS all access”?

Something where you can pay to get a bunch of advertising, a bunch of old shows, plus a few new shows that are exclusive to their network.

I’ve melted one of these (different brand) with a window A/C unit that It should have been Able to handle.  Will these be ok with a smaller (<7000 BTU) a/c?  What about a mid-sized 12,000 BTU a/c?

While the smart plug is rated to meet the typical power rating of the A/C unit, the published power draw of the A/C usually doesn't specify the peak power demand. A/C units have a much higher peak power consumption when the motor(s) first kick on. It's not unheard of to have the starting current 5x the normal current.

Total $110,000
Cost of 1 bitcoin = $9,200

Assuming 1 bitcoin per stupid person.  There are 12 stupid people that fell for this scam.  I would have expected more...

Congratulation humanity!  You’re smarter than I thought you were.

It is most likely more than 12 people. Bitcoins don't have to be sent in integer amounts.

Here's one thing that doesn't suck about the Apple TV Siri remote: battery life. I use mine a moderate amount and I just charged it for the first time. I started using it 18 months ago. And it was nice to obtain battery warnings instead of the usual "Why isn't my remote working? Is it the battery?"

So the multi-core results were 50% faster in the i7 which has 100% more cores?  Why aren't the results closer to 100% faster?

What if someone could clone 3 more of you to do your job. Keep in mind that everything that you need to do your job, like an office, a desk, a box of tools, a computer, the car you drive to work, etc., now has to be shared by you and your 3 clones. Do you think your job would get done 4 times faster? 

Definitely not. https://i.stack.imgur.com/Uh7JP.gif
