Machines and computers are ideally suited to many of the tasks that make up medical care. Autonomous systems are already omnipresent throughout medicine and its only a matter of time before we trust them ahead of error-prone humans, especially for tasks that require fast reaction, repetition, or precision.
Future generations may gasp at the thought that at one point in our history we went under the knife to mortal hands.
Manhattan Project scientists may have foretold the arms race, but could they have foreseen that the advent of nuclear weapons would produce the longest period of peace between industrialized nations in the past several centuries? Considering the countless lives lost in the wars of the 19th and 20th centuries, how many lives have been saved under the haunting specter of nuclear annihilation?
In this context the analogy to climate science is less clear.
Unless some other land mass rises out of the Pacific ocean, the regions of coastal California between Marin and San Diego counties will always be the most desirable (expensive) in the country because it is the only part of the country with temperate weather year round.
The internet is a public utility like phone, water, and electricity. Its inception was funded by federal research. Its original design and purpose was to facilitate communication between universities and later between the public at large.
The internet was not created by private venture. Businesses have no inherent right to make money off it or to steal bandwidth that other people paid for to push unrequested ads around.
Step 1: Apply egregious, extortionate infringements on personal freedoms. Step 2: Replace egregious infringements with milder versions so that in comparison the victim might not recognize the infringement. Step 3: Prophetz.
like phone lines, water, and electricity. Would you accept an unelected corporate group like Hollywood policing your phone conversations and throttling the line if they didn't like what they overheard you saying? Or throttling your water supply if they objected to the flowers growing in your yard?
Inform your elected officials. Make it clear that we will not tolerate these for-profit commercial groups invading our privacy and abusing public resources. Apply citizen utility rights to internet access.
(By the way, expect small captured governments like New Zealand to bend to corporate influence, but how is this stuff not struck down in modern social leaning nations such as France?)

I spent $6,600 on my current car
You don't have to rub your wealth in my face just because I majored in a STEM category.
D'OH!
Ballmer's grand vision is for every employee to 'squirt' in unison.
I can I haz ur house?

No, I meant that literally! It's part of any detailed discussion on climate change.
You don't vote for Kings.
One of these things is not like the other...
Another example of why robotic surgeons should be a long term goal.
Have you seen the travelers in the security check line? If I was a screener I would demand a machine that makes people seem MORE clothed.
the same judge ordered water to stop being wet.
"Oh and $500k is CHEAP for a subsurface utility investigation on a city the size of provo."
Yes, but is it dirt cheap?
Being EA, or buying their products and encouraging them to continue business as usual?
We also would have accepted: "Let the flames begin."
Mario rescued first.
Since both Sun and Wind had to be elsewhere by sundown, they agreed to a time limit up front.
Round three scheduled for tomorrow...Rain permitting.
If your business model depends on polluting my mind, I will do without. For example, this is why I and many others do without a television.
Life is too short.
Yes, but Wind won round two, where they competed to get the guy to put his jacket back on.
