The problem with tactical novelties that might lead to a manager being hailed as a hero is that if they do not come off they are the villain.
The problem with Ebola is that it makes mistakes while it copies itself. The mistakes are actually good for Ebola because they help Ebola change, and as a result of this, as it jumps from one human body to the next, roughly half the time, it’s got a mutation.
Some of the problem with IQ tests stems from the inescapable reality that human intelligence is staggeringly complex and multifaceted.
I was interested in Java the beginning, but the problem with Java is you do have to switch your platform.
The problem with pity parties is very few people come, and those who do don’t bring presents.
The problem with article 50 of the Lisbon treaty is that it is not substantive in its content or conditions, and only concerns itself with procedural requirements.
The problem with independent films is that they can be hit or miss. I’ve seen scripts that have blown me away. But there have to be all the right ingredients in place to make them work: the director, cast, publicity, distribution.
It doesn’t surprise me that men in their twenties and thirties are often looking for a much older woman. What is the problem with a man of 30 being with a woman of 50? It is a matter of energy and the soul, not a matter of age of the body.
The problem with doing a schlocky or big budget studio film is that it wouldn’t actually be fun for me. It wouldn’t be exciting.
The problem with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than their minds.
The problem with binge-watching on Netflix is that you lose three days of your life.
The problem with real estate is that it’s local. You have to understand the local market.
I don’t know what the problem with Capitol is. Some one’s got to wake ’em up. Prod ’em a little bit.
The problem with not having a camera is that one must trust the analysis of a reporter who’s telling you what occurred in the courtroom. You have to take into consideration the filtering effect of that person’s own biases.
I don’t like rats, but there’s not much else I don’t like. The problem with rats is they have no fear of human beings, they’re loaded with foul diseases, they would run the place given half the chance, and I’ve had them leap out of a lavatory while I’ve been sitting on it.
The problem with Islam is that it’s a law, not a religion, and it’s incompatible with our values, our rights, and our freedoms.
The problem with comedy audiences – it’s like the Coliseum – when they see someone struggling, they don’t feel altruistic towards them. They feel slightly repulsed by it.
For Google, the problem with being a free, abundant, and rather infinite set of services is that it’s hard to create much of a stir about anything. There are so many major software service options under the ‘more’ menu on the Gmail page that they’ve had to go and add a final item called ‘even more.’
The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.
The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren’t in a very good mood.
The problem with being an actress is there’s a lot of rejection.
The problem with Alien Voices ‘was we had four really terrific years. And then it began to be about selling: Simon & Schuster wanted whatever, 40,000 units sold a year.’
The problem with wonks is that they can’t deal with emotion and feeling, and they don’t like stories. It means that they cannot connect at all with the feelings and imaginations of the voters.
The problem with all-or-nothing thinking is that it stops people even taking the first steps. The thought of never having pepperoni pizza again somehow turns into an excuse to keep ordering it every week.
Here’s the problem with Easter. The Catholic Church needs to pick a date because it keeps moving. And I think the reason they always have Easter moving to different dates is to catch us.
I’m a girls’ girl. I have guy friends, but the problem with having guy friends is, like, I always get linked to them, and they’ll end up in a slideshow of people I’ve apparently dated on the Internet.
There’s a joke in economics about the drunk who loses his keys in the street but only looks for them under the lightposts. When asked why, he says, ‘because that’s where the light is.’ That’s the problem with the deficit.
The problem with idealizing love is that it causes us to develop unrealistic expectations about what love actually is and what it can do for us.
The problem with just wanting to punt it deep and out of bounds every time is that most punters can’t do that. Most guys shank and pull their kicks when they try that, so you have to get a guy who punts the ball high and gets hang time.
The problem with feminism in the second wave was that we fought so much among ourselves, and I think we did so much damage to the movement… and I think the next wave, the third wave, is women mentoring younger women and women helping younger women to enter the political process and the writing world.
The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.
The problem with being Irish… is having ‘Riverdance’ on your back. It’s a burden at times.
The problem with the internet and the way that we communicate on the internet is – I mean it’s obvious to everybody – but sometimes we don’t stop and take a breath and think about it.
The problem with having the name Wyeth is that immediately, when people hear the name, they all of a sudden see weathered barns in a field or something.
The problem with fine art is that in most cases people have to make a special excursion to go and look at it: they can’t afford to own it. So it isn’t really part of their life in the way that music can be.
The problem with airports is that we go there when we need to catch a plane – and because it’s so difficult to find the way to the gate, we tend not to look around at our surroundings.
The problem with certainty is that sometimes it can sound cold and heartless, although it is the most compassionate and supportive answer.
The problem with Flipboard is that it’s an app, not the Web, and I keep hoping someone will show me a really well-designed Web app that shows me that the Web can still win.
The problem with the focus on speculators, as was demonstrated during the financial crisis, is that it tends to divert attention from the real villains. During the financial crisis, the villains were the actions of the banks, not the speculators betting on bank share prices.
The problem with most children’s hospitals is that they are passive. They are high quality. They are filled with the best doctors. But their function is to wait until kids get sick and get referred in.
The problem with people who are afraid of imagination, of fantasy, is that their world becomes so narrow that I don’t see how they can imagine beyond what their senses can verify. We know from science that there are entire worlds that our senses can’t verify.
The problem with too beautiful a view is that it’s alright for the mulling stage. But for the writing stage, you want to be somewhere without a view, especially if it is very different from what you’re writing.
While there have been terrific advances in the state of technology around heuristics, behavior blocking, and things like that, technology is only a part of the approach to solving the problem with the more important aspect involving putting the right process in place.
The problem with politicians getting to know the issues in indigenous townships is that we tend to suffer from what Aboriginal people call the ‘seagull syndrome’ – we fly in, scratch around and fly out.
The problem with not saving is it can often mean you’re – a crisis away from, as we’ve seen in some cases, living in your car or losing your home or – having your lights shut off.
The problem with listening to music today is that there’s so much of it everywhere. We’ve got used to hearing music without actually listening to it.
The problem with the stigma around mental health is really about the stories that we tell ourselves as a society. What is normal? That’s just a story that we tell ourselves.
The problem with the mobile industry is that it deals with an intangible service which is largely similar across major players. Most consumers cannot tell the difference between Vodafone and Orange, or AT&T and Verizon in the U.S., beyond the colors and the logos. I suspect neither can the companies.
The problem with my guys, all my guys, they come in and improve themselves so fast in college: they go from ‘He’s this and this’ to ‘That kid is the first pick or second pick. Four. Five. Seven.’ Tell me about those teams: not great. So my guys are walking into bad situations.
I don’t spend unnecessarily. The problem with the industry is we don’t budget our films. Plus, we spend bizarre amounts on marketing. If you have a good film and a good trailer, you don’t need to spend so much.
Here is the problem with legacy: You’ll sacrifice stuff that is not even yours to get it. Take President Obama’s Iran deal, when he gave the shirt off his back – and ours, too.
The problem with depicting what’s weird and what isn’t is that it’s got to this point of near total oversaturation. There’s definitely a threshold at which that language and experience becomes tedious. How can something be weird if everything is apparently weird?
