Throughout history technology and innovations have solved specific labor problems and opened the way for more relatively unskilled labor to be done. The wheel meant it was possible to carry heavier things and people were free to work on other things. The cotton gin required less work to process cotton, opening more jobs for relatively unskilled work. Same with the printing press, etc.
What we have here is different. Cheap automation, over the next 100 years, will be able to do any work a human can do, but far more cheaply and 24-7-365 (366 on leap years). AI will be able to replace every white collar job, from help desks to engineers to lawyers - and do it far cheaper and 24-7-365.25. They will be able to be trained quickly and efficiently should a new task be desired and the way it's going only a few people will reap thier rewards. Please explain to me how even skilled workers are going to be able to compete with this because soon we will have AI and generic robotic automation, deployed rapidly to novel situations and its like nothing this world has seen before.
Since he cant get funding for the wall, Mexico has made it clear where Trump can pull funds from in no uncertain terms, and congress is having its typical debt ceiling crisis with probably the most expensive hurricane bailout thrown on top at the last instant - Trump has used his business genius to solve the wall problem. Simply fashion it from nationally orphaned souls, and cement it together with the lost hopes and dreams of a generation. I keep praying he doesn't alter the deal any further, but it doesn't seem to be working.
You should be thinking about the mercury in fish first, especially if you are a female of child bearing age, or are still a child . People love to eat predatory fish and they have the highest mercury concentrations. Some from natural sources but the majority is from coal power. There isn't a pristine aquatic location left, mercury pollution is now a global problem in both fresh and salt water.
Surprised Chris Vickery from upguard wasn't slapped with felony cyber terrorism charges and arrested yet. This kind of unauthorized access is criminal and he should never see the light of day, much less a computer, for the rest of his life. TigerSwan and TalentPen are the real victims here. He probably even wears a hoodie./s
That and they seem to be on top of proper disposal unlike here in the US and elsewhere. These social democracies seem to be the least dysfunctional and have the highest quality of life for citizens. It's a shame it can't be properly reprocessed but that's the state of affairs in the world today. Nuclear is a far better option than coal for a variety of reasons. Until battery capacity becomes extremely cheap, countries will need a near zero emission method of creating necessary base loads if they want to generate energy responsibly.
"They can send 100 pulses out per second, we can send 27,000," said Robert Feidenhan'l, chairman of the European XFEL management board. This matters because to study chemical reactions or biological processes, the X-ray strobe is used to capture flickering snapshots of the same system at different time-points that can be stitched together into a film sequence.
I'm assuming for biological and chemical processes it's used similar to femtosecond laser video photography where completely different trials are filmed at ever so slightly different times and angles on the same setup so as to create the illusion of a time sequence of a single event over a sizable area.
The appliance was trying squeezing the juice out of customers using some bizzare combination of the pricing model of printer toner combined with a predatory monthly app subscription and a keurig. Not sure who the hell thought people would actually swallow this. At least do something novel like having the machine hold 30 different packets and custom order a drink. As it is it was an outright money grabbing scam.
For everyone saying the unemployed will rise up against the AI and automation of generic manual labor and white collar jobs just remember one thing - this advancement applies to the military as well. Once the autonomous military capabilities, including automated manufacturing, exceed the manual ones, humanity will be at the complete mercy of those few who own the armies and factories unlike any time in all human history. Good luck with that humans.
If they maintain tradition with rushing automation solutions to market and keep security a distant priority, the masses won't need luck. A 12-year old will be able to crack an IoT-grade army of 'bots like a fucking egg.
Ignorance about electronic security has always been the Achilles heel. I don't foresee this changing.
Not really disagreeing, except with the 12 yr old in a garage/basement premise. A nation state actor (Russia, North Korea, take your puck) would likely be the first to do so. Also, while still terrible, the military takes security more serious than companies do. Finally this changes nothing, even if you accept this premise. We all would still be at the mercy of a malicious 12 yr old, or some nation state actors, unlike any time in history.
Packs degrade through charge discharge cycles as well as time and yes they are affected by temperature. However a commercial truck would go through far more full discharge cycles than a car, most every car on your list is charged less than 2x a week and they are not full discharges. A commercial vehicle will likely have 2-3 full discharges per day, 8 years is to 10% for a commercially used vehicle isnt reasonable.
Almost no one points out electrics pollute per mile depending on how the electricity is made. It is true some pollutants locally are less, and it may be better for a semi that travels long distances as opposed to cars, but a significant portion of CO2 and other pollutants (typically half for CO2 in cars) are generated by manufacturing it. CO2 per mile gas equivelant for cars varies widely by region, you could get as much as 110+ in upstate New York or 70+ in California, or as low as 35 mpg where I live in the Midwest. This semi will likely be roughly 1/3 of these ranges given thier claim of the pack size and range. However, while better than a typical semi of roughly 5-6, it definitely isn't zero or even an order of magnitude better.

I'm currently subjected to having Comcast. If they start that bullshit of which you speak, I'll be hastily looking for a different ISP, and I'll be damned well telling them exactly WHY I'm dumping them, when I go in person to their customer service office with the cable modem in hand, demanding a receipt showing I returned it, and paperwork showing I no longer do business with them.
Sucks to be you. For high speed internet I've got Comcast, xfinity, and shipping a big pile of hard drives by usps.
You have it backwards. It's the idea that this is interesting while other science or academic achievements are about as much fun to the normals as supergluing your junk to a cop car. beating the remaining brain cells from a half unconscious guy is totally awesome, and the reason we don't live in the 27th century technology already.
If one product has 12 reviews and one 45k reviews, the 12 review has 5* and the 45k review has 4* I'd be more likely to buy the 45k review one. It's simply significantly harder to astroturf and bot 45k reviews than 12. Online typically all you have to go on is a shitty picture, product details that are nearly always incomplete and exaggerated, and reviews. The reviews are the least shitty way to not get ripped off. For the record, yes I know that many reviews on most every site are fakes, paid for the review, or bots.
Plus sometimes the reviews are pure comedy gold and are worth reading on their own which can inspire some sales on their own.
Let's keep those profits rolling, we have engineers to burn! America needs to wise up and start jailing the senior management. It's sad times for America when South Korea is the one with balls while America just rolls over and takes it.
Yea, as an engineer I was thinking of the mechanical components and systems, not the cup holders and interior decor. They have some reliability issues, like any small company would, but in my opinion you get quite a bit of nice engineering. The aluminum body is amazing for example.

Just wait till it's so overused it will literally be in Websters.

I'm still watching Mr. Robot, despite this stereotype, it's a great show.
It's only a matter of time before a journalist is arrested for being outstanding in the field.

Mandatory onion news. Just as funny/scary/true as it was in 2011.
Where is my funny but absolutely horrifying and true option? Really find myself needing that mod option more and more lately.

Xfinity is Comcast...
Woosh
I'm currently subjected to having Comcast. If they start that bullshit of which you speak, I'll be hastily looking for a different ISP, and I'll be damned well telling them exactly WHY I'm dumping them, when I go in person to their customer service office with the cable modem in hand, demanding a receipt showing I returned it, and paperwork showing I no longer do business with them.

You made me realise I've been using adblockers everywhere for so long I have no idea what kind of ads they're trying to show me.
Maybe they are trying to show you ads for ad-blocking
Republicans are snowflakes: they are white, cold, and when you get enough of them together they shut down public schools.
How is that any different than having a few friends to sit in front of a screen?
I thought that too was illegal now...
