There is paperwork for each one. Officers often spend a significant amount of time dealing with the paperwork after each incident -- not counting the departments that give such officers a paid vacation for a few weeks after such a stressful thing.
If it cuts the surgery time down significantly it is money well spent, as the surgeon will then be able to do more surgeries and hopefully be less overworked (ha!), less fatigued and less likely to make a mistake on each surgery.
Of course, ultimately it's probably a good idea to make the robot disposable and just have the robot BE the stitches, since it's inevitably going to get left in the patient some of the time anyhow.
What happened to the America that believed in one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, that I used to pledge allegiance to as a kid? We are now divided; liberty is a vanishing luxury available to only a few, and Justice is only interested if you pay cash up front. That's why we saw a Trump victory in 2016, because too many people no longer even pretend to adhere to a basic set of moral standards, and they don't care if he's a slimy scumbag; that's just the type of person they like. They don't care if he's bought and paid for, because they are too. They don't care if they violate the basic human rights of their "enemies", and anyone who isn't just like them is an enemy.
If our nation succumbs to that temptation, to become the next tyranny attempting to oppress the world, the world is going to answer with fire and death, and unfortunately, as much as I love the US, that is going to be the correct answer to where we're going.
Possibly. Or it might just get clogged with silt while monsoon rains continue to add new water to the system. The goal of drilling a hole wouldn't be to drain the water, it'd be to create a tunnel the kids can climb out.
Trump gave him a chance because he was fellating Trump's daughter, and only got rid of him when the guy became such a huge dead weight that he started threatening to drag other people down with him.
What worries me are not the Americans who are horrified at what Trump is doing to our country. I'm far, far more worried about the Americans who think Trump is doing an OK job, the economy is rosy, and he is keeping all his campaign promises to them. Because those are the people who are gonna vote Trump again in 2020 and I'm not sure the US can survive another 4 years of him.
Shills like AC are too busy pointing fingers to realize that it doesn't matter if global warming is our fault or not, it's still going to kill people and could literally send us back into the dark ages.
I wish that were more true but unfortunately, there's still enough people that can stomach Trump to elect him and his cronies all over again. America's dangerously close to a tipping point.
That's true in a traditional economic situation, where one person produces one person-hour of work per hour. However, for many decades now, the amount of work one person produces in one hour has been increasing exponentially. We can already foresee a time when 30% of everyone who has a job, is no longer going to have that job because there's a robot to do that job. What will those people do? If we don't find some sort of work for them, we are going to wind up with a huge portion of our workforce who are literally unemployable through no fault of their own, with no breakthrough industries that require lots of manpower to replace them.
What we see in America, with a few business leaders gathering an increasing amount of resources for themselves, is exactly what you would expect to happen when a few people produce for the masses to consume.
To be completely fair, the historic breakfast of the working people for thousands of years was gruel, a type of thin oatmeal which is basically just wet grain mush, and was popular because you didn't need to bake it to make it edible, you could just eat it straight. Breakfast cereal was invented because people wanted to eat something besides warm mush for breakfast. And yes, it travels and stores well, is cheap and easy to produce, and often has absurd amounts of sugar in it.
Cultuers have never (as far as I know) avoided protein at breakfast because it was "evil", they avoided it because protein is expensive and you have to cook it just right or it will kill you, which is more difficult when you are groggy and three-quarters asleep and hungry for something right now.
Your use of an ad hominem completely negates whatever point you're trying to make. I started reading your post and all I could see was, "This guy's making fart jokes, he must be twelve years old."
Compared to the poverty-stricken third-world country a couple miles away, California is a paradise where people actually have clean, potable water and they make so much money they can send most of it back home to la familia and still live like kings.
95%+ of small businesses fail, most within the first few years and after costing tens of thousands of dollars. I have, through deliberate acquisition over several years, acquired many of the skills I need to run my own business, but I am pretty confident that if I started now it would flop sooner than later; and I just don't have the capital to prop it up until it takes off.
Meanwhile I can demand above-median wages doing eight hours a day of skilled labor, while continuing to acquire skills and industry knowledge to better my chances when I am finally well-enough equipped to start my own business.
Also, you may not have noticed but the world is a bit different today than it was 30 years ago. There's no Ronald Reagan spearheading things, there's only our Glorious Orange Cheetoh busily dismantling America for the highest bidders.
Terrorists train with actual rifles. Furthermore, twice as many terrorists in the US were home-grown right-wing extremists as were islamic jihadis between 2008 and 2016, and six times more terrorists were right-wing extremists than left-wing extremists in the US.
The data suggests that it's not the jihadis that are the problem, and it's not those darn "liberals," it's the nazis and the KKK who are more effective at killing Americans than anyone else.
Very funny, newbie, but the US is conservative relative to other countries (https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-USA-as-a-nation-so-conservative-compared-to-Europe).
Sort of. You don't trust a dam to hold back water until it's completed; you divert the water away from it using another method until the dam is done. You don't have cars driving over a half-completed bridge; you divert the traffic away until the cars are done. Construction sites are somewhat more dangerous than completed buildings; that's why workers wear safety gear and get safety inspections to make sure they're not doing anything too awfully stupid and risky.
Making a half-completed project stable enough to simply -not fall down- is a lot easier than making it capable of bearing the massive loading a completed structure is designed to bear. Even so, a lot of times they cheat by using intermediate structures to hold stuff in place until it's got the supports it needs.
None of that likely has any bearing on why this particular bridge broke. It was completed off site and set into place, so they should have had ample time to figure out any issues BEFORE cars started driving on it.
The narrative for GMO's today sort of resembles the narrative for cigarretes 50 years ago: "They're beneficial with no proven harmful effects." According to a forbes article I just dug up (https://www.forbes.com/sites/gmoanswers/2016/06/01/why-gmos-dont-cause-cancer/#68ade01f6bc8) "Pesticides are proteins, and no proteins have ever caused cancer." Which is the sort of BS marketing lie that is very very easy to disprove.
So just in that one article the monsanto representative was lying through their teeth to forbes. Why would they do that? Well, because GMO's actually DO cause cancer (http://responsibletechnology.org/gmos-and-cancer/) (https://www.ewg.org/agmag/2015/10/monsanto-s-gmo-herbicide-doubles-cancer-risk#.Wq0zRujwaUk).
I expect in a few to ten years when Monsanto agents start retiring and dying off, we'll hear some stories about "How Monsanto paid me to kill a bunch of people, by lying for 20 years."

People will generally choose the surgeon who graduated with a C+ over having no surgeon at all.
Difference is, the muslims will kill you. The christians will bring round coffee and donuts.

Thought the constant was 42. Did someone change that again when I wasn't looking?

If you see your neighbor stealing a purse out of someone else's car, that doesn't mean you can steal their wallet out of your neighbor's car.

We tried banning liquor. It didn't work out. We tried banning drugs, and that's not working out either. Read a history book.

There is a difference between someone who is ill and plays video games, versus someone who is ill because they play video games.
Isn't this the same thing gamers have been saying for years? Nice to finally have a study to back it up.
