I expect perhaps someone(s) are rather close and much rather extend the deadline then put peoples lives in jeopardy. Or No one is close, their money is safe, and extending the deadline is just a PR Stunt.
The market doesn't exist yet, so it isn't profitable. But I see this as forward thinking investment. Quite simply our growth as a population and society needs to expand beyond earth. The moon is close by, and the stuff that we learn on how to survive and thrive in such an extreme environment could be used back on earth to help solve our own problems. So a hundred and fifty years down the line we can see a full lunar community of a billion people. All clicking on Google Adds.
In a fast food restaurant they are multiple entry level jobs. Automation may take some of them, but others will still need to be filled by a human. So you may not be working the register, but you may be socking the garage.
The problem with designing for disabilities, is there are so many disabilities to design for. They are people who are mute, and deaf who cannot utilize the features as well. That said if you are a quadriplegic, they are still a number of pointer devices options, eye tracking, chin joystick... Which allows them to operate a computer, more efficiently then with voice interface.
While it is true the Sex sells, however if you have checked the internet there is a sexual preference for nearly every body type, and people who don't find the standard version of sexy that attractive. If Hollywood put any effort into it, they could portray nearly any healthy body type as attractive for the general masses. The biggest setback I see are the fans, If an actress who has a bit of giggle in the wrong place, the fans get all up in arms, stating how she is going to die from a heart attack, or is letting herself go, and is ugly because of it. Hollywood, has told us to accept this model as Beautiful and healthy, and most of us do not want to disappoint societies expectations, will convince ourselves this is the model that you would strive for. So it creates a feedback loop on itself. Hollywood says this is attractive, people agree because of exposure to Hollywood, people will pay to see attractive people. Hollywood produces what people think is attractive.
Still Hollywood should work to diversify its cast, beyond sex, race, and sexual preferences. But adding different healthy body types. Someone may be short and curvy, or tall and thin, or tall and curvy.... And still be healthy. Even showing people who may not be 100% healthy in leading rolls can be beneficial, not to push an unhealthy life style (like they did with smoking) but to show that a person can be special and worth while, even if they look like them.
The voice interface, while looks good in science fiction as it is an easy way to push the plot along. However these devices such as Alexa, are often getting in my way of instant data. As someone who keep my phone silent and my PC on mute I find getting info from a keyboard, or with gestures on a good interface, is much better to get info. Plus other people don't have to hear me ask silly questions or bore listing to the answers.
Because Macroeconomics is a complex topic. Improvements in efficiency in general has a wide reaching improvement in the economy. While some jobs are lost new jobs are created. We can go back over a hundred years, of evidence of things said to kill the need for workers, only to have their jobs change and have the need for more people working.
Raising the minimum wage, will force some businesses to increase efficiency, however for the most part most companies including fast food places, have employees already above minimum wage. People with more money will buy more and expand businesses, causing more people to need to be hired. So that entry job at your towns McDonald may get replaced with a kiosk, but with the community making more money chances are a Wendy's will open up near by, needing workers.
Then sometimes with improvements in technology there is often a renewal in interests in human skills. Think the Discover Commercial advertising its live customer service. The automated systems in their call center are at a point where it makes it efficient to have people back on the call centers again, because a lot of the humdrum stuff is now done by the web.
The biggest problem is the politicians don't want to measure their policies and adjust them based on their effectiveness. All this stuff I had wrote could backfire, because of other factors, such as a stagnate non-growing economy which the tradeoffs outweigh the benefits.
Affirmative action isn't at odds with a merit based system. Actually is a response to a system that in general isn't merit based. For the most part for most Affirmative action complains, it is normally easy to prove the reason why a person didn't get hired was because the person who was, had superior qualifications. Affirmative action normally comes into play when their merits are nearly identical. And this is used to counter act the original existing bias.
However what is more the problem is keeping women in the field after they are hired. With such nasty Slashdot posts lately on these topics, makes me expect the general employees of these companies are making their lives difficult, not management, but the general work of the day.
The personality that wants to get such a buzz from caffeine, means they may want to get a buzz from something else.
Some people don't like the feeling of a caffeine buzz, so they don't go after that food, and also don't try other things, as the buzzed feeling is unpleasant to them.
I expect that is the reason between the correlation of Energy Drinks and drug dependencies. If you take a substance any substance, because of the buzz or numbing feeling, (which these feelings often happen when your body is chemically out of wack) then chances are you will get addicted to that feeling and move up.
I drink coffee in the morning, I don't get a buzz, but I like the taste. If I don't have coffee in the morning I function just fine. If I have too much and get a buzz, I don't like the feeling, so I stop. The same is if I am drinking a hard drink. Once I start feeling it, I stop, because I know I had too much. But if I was in search for the Buzzed feeling, chances are I would keep drinking to keep that feeling.
Because driverless cars are in the mythical 5 years of development research cycle, which means there are technical hurtles that haven't been solved yet. Then finally after they have been solved it will take a decade to implement. So this feature will probably be implemented by 2027, if it currently proves to work well now.
I expect a bit of both. First there is an acknowledgement that these groups are more then just a random ranting hicks. But groups trying to push a well crafted narrative of fear that giving others equal rights will diminish their own rights, and hatred of the groups who are getting such rights and trying to show that they are not worth it. It is the responsibility of everyone to stand up against this groups in one way or an other. These groups use the same methods and logic that had created much of the foreign terrorist groups, and their growth to a point where they had destroyed countries came from a population that more or less just let it slide. Racism really has no place in business, as all it does it reduce your customer base and partners to work with.
Then there is a PR problem of being considered friendly to this group, this will attract more undesirables to your service, and effect your general perception. It could be like the Simpsons quote "Not Raciest but #1 with racist)
So where is the evidence that a guy who has been recorded driving into a bunch of people, is somehow not getting adequate legal representation. If that is the case, where is the crowdfunding source for all the public defenders? Not for this one high profile case.
If you cannot afford and attorney one will be provided. Now this is going to be a high profile case, with a lot of solid evidence, if this attorney could find a way to do anything to help him, this would look golden on any job interview for a big high paying firm.
If this was some drug dealer and only getting 15 seconds on the local news. He may just make sure the court doesn't give the death penalty, but for this case the attorney will probably be doing his best. Just because he is in a visible position.
Such a simplistic approach to the problem. There are many times that white people have contact with the Police when they are doing something wrong, and normally they will just get a talking to and move along. A minority has a higher chance on getting arrested for the same problem. Being in a culture where the law enforcement will not treat you justly means the local communities will put the law into their own hands, with often poor results. Thus escalating the minor offence to a bigger one.
In short growing up white you are allowed to make mistakes, if you are black the same mistake will affect you all your life. The ones who make it, normally have to live their life in full consciousnesses that they can't do anything wrong. While for the someone who is white, then most of it will fall under kids will be kids.
Well it could work. This could lead to greater attendance at the cinema, I expect for this to work, it would probably need to be for movies that are a week old, so we are going to the cinema for under capacity shows. We may like this, as we can go to the movies, without having to worry so much about budgeting. Cinema would like this as there will be more people in the cinema, more people buying concessions.
Key problems that I see, would be the number of people you can bring with such a service. Normally people like to go to the movies with someone else or their family. So $10 a month for one person would end up being $20 a month for 2 people and $40 a month for a family of 4.
But still that may be better then just staying home.
We get a shiny new and slim browser we love it, we ask for more features, these features get added, the browser gets bloated, We get an other shiny and slim browser...
Netscape by 4.5 became Netscape Communicator with email newsgroups and a bunch of other stuff, took minutes to load up. Internet Explorer was seen as a better options. Integrated into the OS, means it took a lot less time to boot up, and followed the standards a bit better so pages rendered better. Then by Version 6. It hasn't kept up with the standards, put a lot of effort in supporting Microsoft Crap like Active X, slow to render HTML, and was a security vulnerability. Firefox was a clean fast browser, with just what is needed for a browser, stripped down interface, rendered fast and supported HTML 4 and CSS 2 like a pro. Then they kept on adding features, and allowing crashes and serious problems to gather. Its overall performance and HTML5 support began to lag. Chrome was a cleaner and faster browser, all the stuff we liked about Firefox originally was there, and supports the new stuff much better and renders quickly... However now there is privacy concerns, and other issues, that make people question it.
Then across all this we had Opera saying "What about me!"
It is also about addressing memory past the 4 gigs mark. Handling big numbers faster 4 billion isn't that big of an integer anymore. Of course there is all that buffering and dealing with poorly written web pages.
Well written software doesn't crash. If it crashes, then it is a problem that needs to be addressed, and if you are going to address it, you should check to make sure the fix is more thorough.
If the software crashes, then there is a security risk. Because a crash is when something is happening that isn't expected, and that allows the hacker to take advantage of this.
No, But the Neo-Nazi are his strongest supporters. Chanting his name like he is the second coming or something. They are other groups that will just support him because he decided to run as a Republican They are other groups that will do whatever their Church tells them to vote for, and the Church will change its ideals to match the party.
However, he is shown to be one of the worst presidents in history. He is fumbling in a government where he has the majority on all levels, yet we are seeing the American Checks and balance system in full force, to make sure we don't kill ourselves from him.
Is it purely politics no. But it is a big part, the other part is being associated with the Trump Administration, who is systematically isolating much of Intel's customer base. Business wise, staying connected with the Trump Administration has a lot of risk, with a small reward if anything.
They got in hoping to influence how business should be done, and make sure policies will protect them. However being connected to such a divisive figure is possibly be connected to a large percentage of your customers being insulted. Would hurt.
If Intel supported Trump when he has one of his rants, just to stay on his good side, they could loose a big customer base to AMD and ARM.
