Also, this is why spending money trying to return basic metalworking and manufacturing to developed nations is a huge waste. The only way these industries can return and remain competitive is by being almost completely automated.
You've just made the strongest possible argument for why we should spend money returning those industries to developed nations, if indeed it'll force them to automate. Do you enjoy being responsible for the deaths of developing world workers through your purchases?
The NSA isn't against strong encryption because they believe they can bribe the people who write the strong encryption implementations to make it secretly weak.
Swear words are useful (for emphasis and getting attention) when used rarely. They're detrimental to your social standing in many groups when over-used. It's perfectly reasonable to wish to reduce your kids' exposure to them in order to send your kids the message that those are not words to use casually every day. The idea is not to prevent them from knowing what the words are, or to prevent them from screaming a 4 letter word when an anvil falls on their foot.
No company ever undercuts their nearest competitor by 7x to take a loss. If they had to increase their price 6x to make a profit, they'd do it and still get the contract. The only reason to go so much lower than the competition is to encourage more volume sales, which is only good when making a profit on each.
Earth has been hit by extinction level events many times in its history and every single time its still had infinitely more life than Mars has ever had.
With the possible exception of the Theia impact.
But more importantly, the Earth is in constant danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star goat. It's vital that we load the middle managers into an ark and send them to Mars to be safe.
Knowing human nature, the final episode where everybody suffocates as they shut off the oxygen will get by far the best ratings of the series. Maybe that'll make enough money to fund the next expedition.
While colonists would obviously spend most of their time inside, there's nothing preventing them from taking trips to the surface. If you think the radiation is too extreme for occasional visits, note that a number of people endured even harsher radiation conditions on the moon. Yes their cancer risk in old age will increase, but these are people taking much worse risks already.
There are a lot of people who enjoy wintering in Antarctica and serving on submarines. Probably a million of them out of 7 billion people (that's 1/700).
You really don't necessarily pay extra for delivery. Safeway sends me coupons for free delivery at least once a month, so I could do all my grocery shopping online for free if I wanted. I only use it on rare occasions because I don't like bulk-shopping and prefer the in-store experience, plus I find online grocery shopping inconvenient to navigate when I'm not buying the same things all the time.
If you don't have a coupon, you're looking at $10 on a $150 order. A poor person may have to spend $5 on bus fare to and from the store, and public transit may make it a very long unpleasant trip, so it can actually make sense for poor people with large families who bulk-shop.
Self-driving cars don't solve grocery delivery, you need human-like robots for that. The robot has to select the right set of groceries, unload them from the truck, navigate complex apartment walkways, identify the right unit number (which can be very tricky -- humans keep messing that up in my complex because there's two of each unit number in the same complex with a different address), ring the bell if there is one or knock on the door otherwise, wait an appropriate amount of time, understand the customer's requests from there, possibly bring the groceries inside to their counter if they ask, figure out what to do if there's a mistake in the order, and then return to the truck.
It's actually shocking how little google knows. I've made no attempt to hide anything from them, but when I check what they think my advertising preference interests are, they've got so many things absurdly wrong.
I don't see it as an arrogant content, nor as a change of course. He was simply stating the fact that net neutrality isn't about protecting the big players like today's Netflix, it's about protecting the smaller players. And he never said Netflix didn't support net neutrality, only that it wasn't a "narrow" interest as in vital to their bottom line.
The good thing about hippies is they're nowhere near as effective at organizing themselves as the religious right. They make a fuss, but they've managed very little influence on public policy.
I could've made yahoo more profitable than she did, by immediately shutting down all the company's activities without selling off any Ali Baba stock in her failed attempt to rekindle the business.
No other suicide method is as quick as a gun for a spur of the moment suicide. Probably the biggest factor in preventing suicides is giving someone time to think and reconsider their decision before it's too late.
I could show you a plethora of gun laws (particularly in california) that make no sense whatsoever, and are clearly there just to make things annoying for law abiding gun owners.
So how is it that guns remain so common place in rural California? Here in El Dorado county they seem to hand out concealed carry permits like candy. Clearly state law isn't getting in the way.
Both automobiles and guns should require training, refresher safety courses, and background checks to keep people with dangerous physical or mental medical conditions from using them.
I know what Chinese-animal-year I was born in too, but put the same amount of faith in what it implies.
This actually points out how culturally-specific the question is. I have no idea what my Chinese animal year is, but the Chinese version of this would no doubt ask me. Immigrants are going to be automatically labeled as identity thieves by this algorithm because they don't share the same cultural context.
Xfinity free wifi is only free after you enter your customer login, which your TV will not have. Unsecured wifi networks are rare, and 95% of those that exist only appear unsecured but actually throw up a login page when you connect.

Just cover the Sahara in solar-powered air conditioners. Problem solved.
Most probes aren't designed to work long-term because that's not their mission.

I wonder if poor people who play the lottery (or otherwise gamble) are more likely to favor right-wing economic policy than those who don't.

Haven't you just described what every executive does? You don't get to the top by being humble and letting credit ever go to someone else.

"Fugitive" is typically used to mean someone on the run in hiding, escaping the police... not someone making persistently annoying use of lawyers.

If you assume that the only purpose of trees is soaking up pollution. In reality, trees have many other benefits like shade and being pretty.
