Yes, it puts the driver in danger for over regulated and litigious places like the USA. That the anecdote was mentioned in Boston is probably not a coincidence.
By the way, it is quite possible that an Uber driver would be more educated than a cab driver. Oy.
Now, I can't say I'm an expert in European affairs. I'm not even an expert in finance. However, if people actually expect zero risk investments, I suspect that they will be disappointed. Of course, precious metals might be a good investment choice. But I imagine that those are already overly regulated too. What a world!
So I read recently that cyber crime costs $600 billion dollars a year. Imagine what we could accomplish with that money. Are we really going to put extraterrestrials on our list of low hanging fruit? Oy vey iz mir.
Seamless ergonomic application integration.
We were studying this in the 70's (see some of the ACM publications). I never would have believed how poorly my various applications talk to one another.
Weren't the same folks that are calling corporations now concerned that startups are not going public? I get so confused. I think it was Emerson who said that consistency was the hobgoblin of small minds. I guess I have to admit to being small minded.
I wonder how much that mercury compares with the amount released into our environment by the fluorescent light bulbs mandated around the world to replace the incandescent light bulb? Just wondering, you know?
We should be working hard to make it easy to work from home... We need the bandwidth to do this... Telepresence should be something we diligently pursue. Imagine taking all that Federal money building trains and such, and pouring it into this industry! Don't move bodies... move minds!
I remember many years ago that some unions in Japan required that companies pay union dues for every "robot" installed. Consequently, I've been expecting unions to start complaining.
He never read the book. Which means that he utterly missed the political/philosophic underpinnings of the society. Which was the real point of the book. No wonder the movies were so silly.
So, we are being told that small steps are worse than no steps at all? That'll discourage everyone.
I wish they would just accept that nuclear power is clean and cheap and easy.
I was a self-employed contractor for over 20 years of my 45 year career. Alvin Toffler in 1980 had predicted contracting to become part of what he called "the electronic cottage." In Information Systems, it began to be much harder to stay continually under contract after the major financial adjustments at the end of the last century. Mores the pity, I think. Instead of investing in high speed transit systems, why aren't we investing in higher bandwidth internet? Imagine the problems it we face today that would be addressed with the latter. But perhaps I am getting off topic.
Back in the 80's, if memory serves, Digital Equipment Corporation used something called a "klunk" which was 100 nanoseconds. I see that the word means something entirely different today.
So, how many people actually buy a car because of an advertisement? Then, of course, we've got a very polarized electorate. Consequently, the propaganda must have been focused on democrats. Are democrats open more or less to influence by propaganda? Sounds like a learning opportunity for the DNC.
So.... all the greens are wanting us to change our entire way of life based on uncertain predictions? More and more it sounds like an agenda that has a different objective than what is commonly expressed.
Music has become a commodity. Meanwhile, production companies are more interested in sales than creativity. Perhaps it is all just a factor of commercialism? Or maybe I'm just to old to know what good music is supposed to sound like.
I think a universal income is too weird for it to be true. How about universal speed limits? Or maybe universal grading for students? It is just so very strange.

Record information... not interpretation... Interpretation will be done when the past is understood in its historic and cultural context.
Begin with Gerald M. Weinberg's "Psychology of Computer Programming."

Any port in a storm! Thank you, Ivan.

It never ceases to amaze me how much faith it takes to believe stuff like that.

I seem to recall some Dartmouth guys who said the same sort of thing in the early 70's. :-)

Irrational numbers always bothered me anyway. Now, if we could get rid of imaginary numbers, that would really be something!

When fundamental presuppositions are wrong, why would we expect software to be any better at predicting recidivism than a human being?

I've been very grateful over the years for thrift shops and Goodwill. It would have been much harder raising my kids and grandkids without them.
Music has become a commodity. Meanwhile, production companies are more interested in sales than creativity. Perhaps it is all just a factor of commercialism? Or maybe I'm just to old to know what good music is supposed to sound like.
Sounds like good advice. But then my very loud sneezes will wake up my wife. :-(
