Use whatever id card to let the robot know you are not a suspicious person. It has to have some information for its basis of whether this is a suspicious situation/person or not. For best effect, get a locksmith or mechanic ID which allows you to choose any car in the lot. On your way out run the roving camera down or steal it.
And they are packed with foreign students because our educational system has been priced out of reach of lower and middle income families due to short-sighted political decisions driven primarily by corporate tax avoidance. Tax avoidance by corporations leads to overly costly education? Yes, because now there aren't enough corporate taxes to fund our public educational institutions so tuition can be free like it was in the days when the political asshats now in control went to school.
When we decide that jobs are important and that increasing profits for multinationals just won't work once the only jobs left are those at McDonalds and Walmart.
Because he doesn't support the disaster that is free-trade he is retarded? Do you really believe that current economic theory has helped us? When real middle class wages have been moving downward since the 70's? When a previous summer temp gig (working at McDonalds) is now a real and permanent situation for real adults with families? When high quality jobs are being lost overseas (legal research, radiography, call center support), and being locally invaded via H1-B visas? Do you really think free-trade is something that is benefiting the actual physical people of this country?
They pushed through standardization on micro-usb, so yes, why not? Governments are good for lots of standardization type directives. Only morons think that government can't get anything right.
Reading and interpreting X-Rays, grading SAT essays, writing stories for AP, medical diagnoses, etc. They are also creative and can judge the value of their creative achievements in music and art. It might not be general AI, but it doesn't have to be to displace millions from the workforce.
30 years ago we had free, or next to free college in California. All the way through a Doctorate at the public universities UCs and CSUs, some of which were also world class.
How did you jump from my assertion regarding industrial policy to the government selecting' your mating partner? I'm all for you doing what you want with your life, I was referring to protecting industries from foreign competition. Where you responding to me or someone else? Because on the whole, your entire response is a non-sequitur vis-a-vis responding to the points I made. I guess I can't help but go low and ask: are you paid to troll out FUD and have to insert your drivel wherever there might even be the most tenuous (or none in this case) of connections?
The benefits of free markets are a myth. No country has ever climbed the prosperity and technology ladder without heavy government intervention. China is aggressively doing it, it is in Germany's constitution, England lost its advantage when it moved to "free trade", look what's happened to our economy when we followed the idiot economists pushing for free trade. There is an interesting book titled "Free Trade Doesn't Work: What should replace it and why", it covers why government interventions are necessary and desirable regardless the level of industrialization of your particular country.
Read "Rise of the Robots". Robots in a short time will be able to do the most complex jobs. Robots (by the book's definition) include machines that think, even if disembodied. All jobs can and soon will be done by robots. The book readily dismantles most/all arguments to the contrary. It will be a very dark future (like the movie Ellysium) if we don't start to migrate to a Universal Basic Income, as suggested above. The book discusses that as well.
I agree with you regarding there being no number at which it would be ok for our rights to be not just trampled on but removed entirely. Encryption, the whole thing, I couldn't agree more, literally, I couldn't.
However, the terrorist thing is a meme that is trotted out and put forth to drive fears. They may not inflate the numbers but they do drive the level of hysteria. They also talk about terror attacks being on the rise without mentioning that they are rising from a very low number. They use the bogeyman regardless of the numbers to provide cover for more of our rights to be trampled upon, if the numbers aren't motivating enough, they just describe isolated instances as view of a rising epidemic. A good book on this is a "A Culture of Fear" http://www.amazon.com/Culture-...
Worldwide terror attack numbers are pretty meaningless, cause I don't live there. Terrorist attack death numbers are also probably massively inflated since they regard ISIS/Daesh as a terrorist organization while it is more of a de-facto government which happens to be in its formative phase.
Great point, but you might be off a tad on your estimated magnitude. A quick google search indicates that in 2014 32,675 car accident fatalities occurred. I believe a pretty good estimate of terrorist fatalities is 3,000. So for a miniscule (nil?) improvement in safety we have had our freedoms and rights decimated. Here's an interesting links for those who prefer numbers to hysteria. http://thinkbynumbers.org/gove...
Hmm. But, our laws only apply in the US. And North Carolina's only in NC, so, how many people are being actually discriminated by this law? Not that I am for discrimination, I'm just questioning the numbers as I think they are false and hyperbolic. For the record, I would favor an "Allie McBeal" style of restroom sharing, mixed gender, no special bathrooms for either sex. Equip it with urinals and toilets and people can use whatever they are comfortable with. Lets even make sure the urinals are compatible for both genders, just to be super-equal. The benefit of that kind of rest room is that you know going in, what you are up against.

When robots can die like humans die, then robots can have rights.
When they can die like humans do, then we can discuss rights for machines.
It must have felt weird being the only non-employee in the Microsoft store.
And that matters why?

A woman can, lot of other countries have had women presidents, we don't have to settle for this one. I'm all-in for Elizabeth Warren, for instance.
I'm still voting Bernie. Or am willing to go off-roading with the maniac, hell, at least it will be exhilarating.

How about Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, England... Did you forget about those contestants?
30 years ago we had free, or next to free college in California. All the way through a Doctorate at the public universities UCs and CSUs, some of which were also world class.
Give Bernie a chance, send him money, like I do. Or volunteer to make calls for him. Vote for him if you are in California.
LOL @ #FeelTheJohnson, that is a ballsy slogan, if a bit derivative.

It was 3,000 in the last decade including 9/11, sorry I meant to have that in there. My bad.
Sorry, my bad, it was 3,000 in the past decade

Millions? Do the T's really number in the millions?
