You compare school shootings to basically "acts of god" and...other intentional acts of violence, including one mainly from PLANES crashed into TOWERS? But school shootings (not all mass shootings, or even all murders by gun) are less than that. Like the same as non-school-shooting domestic terrorism. Nothing to worry about.
I'm no gun nut but he's right. A semi-auto and quick fingers can do the same thing. In the paintball world they use two-fingered triggers so you can fire at full-auto-like speeds with a semi-auto. In practice full auto mode is generally useless, in fact I'd prefer if nutcases used it in their rampages when available as it generally wastes ammo.
You forget what happened when that Marine posting batshit crazy all over his Facebook wall was detained for evaluation. The howls of persecution from right wingers (who, in fairness, almost universally hadn't actually read his posts) echoed for weeks.
I'm not really making gallows humor. Seriously, does it have to be a thousand before you get some half-decent first-world gun control you smalldick fuckers?
I haven't bothered, I know roughly how many dollars in gas will get to what level in the container, but there's a measurement scale on the side so I could check it.
LOL I fill up one of my cars via a container exclusively, it's no big deal and only takes a few seconds longer (at the gas station) than filling a car directly.

(Not that I'm arguing for "KEEP GOVERNMENT OUTTA MY GAS PUMPS!" but two wrongs don't make a right.)
We already use automated checkouts, vending machines, and shop online. It's faster and cheaper. And do you think people would pay the overhead of even minimum-wage social interaction? Commercial empires have fallen over less.
Firemen don't start fires, doctors don't infect people, and antivirus companies don't create viruses. Any at all.
We detect 200,000 new threats every day as it is. Keeping on top of them all is quite a task. And another thing — we don't hire ex-hackers. Our business is built on trust, and we apply the highest standards in sensitive areas of our work: in malware analysis, product development, etc. Like a homicide detective doesn't need to kill to investigate a murder more effectively, a good expert doesn't need to be on the dark side to analyze viruses and predict what may come next.
Wow, he lays it on pretty heavy here. Hollywood definition of "hacker" and the "abstinence-only sex ed. taught by a virgin" approach to computer security.
BTW firemen start fires in training, research doctors infect people in testing, and any security company that wants to find and patch exploits before the bad guys do should be creating viruses (for in-house use). If that's not something in the scope of his business that's one thing and it would be fair for him to say it, but I'm really surprised he went out of his way to spew this stuff.
We could quite easily have a 5-10 hour work week with the same level of productivity and decent middle-class wealth, but all the producitivity gains have been hoarded at the top.
Whenever I see "million dollar homes" or something like that on TV I say "remember in the '60s people thought we'd work 2 hours a day? This is what we got instead."
But how many jobs are available for designers, programmers and maintainers of robots?
A huge robot-manufacturing megacorporation could run on a team of just a few hundred designers and programmers and each factory would need just a few maintainers. As in the industrial revolution people would have to find more *trivial* jobs. How much potential is there for more triviality and where will the disposable income for it come from?

...for now.
That's a big part of the problem. I know you have to notify the government if you're selling a car, why not a gun?

Don't mod me down you cowards, answer the question.
I'm assuming the producer of the gas canisters isn't in cahoots with the gas stations.
I could check it against some other containers.
Or this could go on until I need to borrow some silicon spheres from a safe in a French university.
Appeal to scientific thought followed by an unrelated CC law issue and emotional appeal to irrational fear of government.
I know, it kills me. God allowed this to happen but let's pray for all the people who were affected by the many child deaths caused by God's inaction.

None died.
I'd like to see this guy kill anywhere near as many kids with a knife, claymore, katana, any bladed weapon.
And also not enough...

After reading the summary my first thought was "I'm never putting too much effort into my submission summaries again."
Thought the same thing. Of course Prometheus is also applicable and the AvP jokes are already coming up.

Huh, good read.

If you take a shit in public you might become a registered sex offender.
And random searches, the TSA's various abuses, and warrantless wiretapping don't infringe any freedoms you guys care about?

"Destroy the robots" is sort of what Japan does.
Businesses there avoid the use of computers, ATMs, etc employing people in place of using technology.
It's fighting backwardness with backwardness but it seems to work.
Not in combination with capitalism. Capitalism doesn't do post-scarcity.
