A classic liberal understands that your rights cannot include compelling others to work on your behalf (though they often include preventing others from doing something to you, that's not the same category).
Is that what they teach in schools these days instead of history? If only we could harness the indoctrination power of the American school system to educate instead...
Tranny is a mental illness, not a race. Being around someone with a psychosis makes me nervous (psychosis: a mistaken belief about reality that significantly interferes with day-to-day activities).
I'd bet Disney has hard data here. The concept is of great financial importance to 3D animators - too close to realistic, but not close enough creeps audiences out (at least to a large enough percentage to matter to profits). The history of Pixar/Disney has been a gradual move to ever-more-human subjects as technology improved, until films like Inside Out were possible, having crossed the uncanny valley.
With a $billion or so at stake per film, you can bet they did plenty of audience research (with this specific animation tech: creepy or not?).
You can still "turn off the internet" for a country you don't like, but it will require bombs to be thorough. Or for an island nation, there will be few enough cables to cut.
Obviously, TFA was distinguishing between a routing-only solution and military action, but I'm, not sure how legitimate that is. At some point (as dependence on the internet increases) taking a nation off the internet becomes just as much an act of war as sending your navy to blockade trade, at which point you might as well include some military action in your planning. Any country with natural or politically-imposed physical-layer bottlenecks between it and its neighbors is vulnerable.
Some people are fine with co-ed bathrooms. Some aren't. Offering both co-ed and segregated bathrooms sounds win-win to me, but telling people who get creeped out by that "suck it up" seems to me like over-reach by the state. If that changes in a generation or two, as it probably will, change the law then, when no one will complain.
That's not quite 100%, though. If your chromosomes and dangly bits agree, though (which is almost everyone), use that restroom or you'll be creeping out the womenfolk. If they disagree, fine, whatever. If a business wants to do better, add a third bathroom for anyone to use.
I wish I coulf find graphs going back past 40 years. We were at about 30% of US jobs in manufacturing in the 70s, vs 10% now - I wonder how high it was in the 50s, and when the ramp down started.
I think it will be worked out by the courts, as far as maintenance goes. Right now, many manufacturers are talking about selling them normally. Tesla is upgrading already-sold models to be as close to self-driving as they can manage. Self-driving will be the luxury car feature when it's new.
Of all of Slashdots user base (UIDs are up to, what, 3 million now?) you are one of about 3 who I'd call an SJW. There's a reason people keep calling you that - you in particular.
Cloud storage is the antithesis of this notion. Someone else takes care of it for you, but it's totally out of your control. They aren't your bits anymore and they could vanish at any time. The wife didn't believe me until Yahoo music shutdown and the albums purchased were just gone forever. If you can help it, always have something YOU control. Don't waste your hard earned money on some corporation's little experiment.
It's maybe worth noting that Amazon has never shut anything down, not even an AWS API. Who knows which way the winds of corporate profit will blow in the future, and they did remove that one Kindle book off people's devices (1984, naturally), but we can at least compare track records. The Google Graveyard is vast, and haunted.
That transition started about 40 years ago, and is nearly complete now. It's old news, even by Slashdot standards. People mostly found service jobs. "Service economy" was the big buzzword in the 80s or so, IIRC.
Now it's those jobs that are going away, or contended for by immigrants.
Why would a display need "massively networked online communication services"? Is it so Facebook can sell me to advertisers? I think it's so Facebook can sell me to advertisers.
This is just the continuing decline of American manufacturing
American manufacturing has grown every decade since it existed - something like 10x since 1940 (inflation-adjusted dollars, as measured by the Fed). There has never been a decline. Oh, sure, the manufacturing jobs are gone, never coming back, but don't confuse that with the industry. Everything's automated now, or nearly so. Just like farming, it has become something we need ever fewer people doing (and it will probably end up at less than 5% of the workforce, like farming).
However you measure it, driving is worse then flying: more dangerous, less convenient, more pollution, more time consuming. It's a real failure as a nation that the TSA is so very bad that some people drive instead.
The total amount MS has sunk into the entire XBox program over its lifetime remains small compared to the size of the pile of money they sleep on.
I think it would have fared better as a home media center if the voice/gesture recognition had been better. Not needing a remote is a very nice feature in concept.
Some standards are about interoperability. Some are about safety. Some are about the ideal dog for that breed. All sorts of things are standards. In this case, it's both a data standard (so, interoperability) and a power standard (so, safety).
Easily foreseeable poor implementation choices are certainly the fault of the standard. At the very least the standard could require either safe operation or failsafe in that scenario.
Poke around and you'll notice that there appears to be some minimum price you can sell a cable for on Amazon. I've never seen anything under $5, but if you look for 2-paks suddenly there's a lot in the $5-10 range (so $2.50-5 each). No clue if this is a real Amazon policy or anything, but the pattern is there.

And if the keyboard is a barcode scanner? Or a mini gaming keyboard with only the keys near WASD?
Bit of a bootstrapping issue there. When you plug in your first mouse or keyboard, what would you use to click "yes"?
It was always "Don't, be evil".

So maybe people could just learn to not get freaked out by other humans and the problem will go away?
Hasn't happened in the past million years. Biology is a harsh mistress

Remind me not to buy a Google self-driving car. Wow, dick move.
