Did you notice that the Airblade Db has a HEPA filter for the incoming air. That filter will remove the germs/spores from the incoming air. As for door handles, use a small piece of tissue. That is a much smaller resource use than towel drying hands.
One can have good hygiene using a Dyson Blade. People generally wash their hands with soap before using it. The water sprayed around by the Blade is generally pretty clean as it just came out of a tap. Any major germ concentrations on the hands would be washed away with the soap when rinsing the hands.
"we're sick of emptying the trash can all the time"
How about these other steps; 1. Purchasing paper towels. 2. Storing paper towels. 3. Refilling dispensers. 4. Storing waste till it can be picked up. 5. Filling solid waste dumps with used paper towels. Emptying cans is only one step in the process. Every step in that process cost time and/or money.
For example, a computer has difficulty differentiating a brown paper bag from a rock in the road. The former can bet driven over. The latter not so much. Even the Google car requires every traffic control signal to be located and tagged so the vehicle can find the relevant one. If by "magic" you mean "not well understood by science" then the human brain is magic. We have very little understanding of how it works and less on how to emulate it in computers.
Under some conditions computers do perform better but when situations become more complex most humans perform better.
Already they are better than any human in snow and rain.
Not when they can not see the white lane marker or curb as they have trouble knowing where the edge of the road is. Remember recently that the Tesla driver assist was taking every single highway exit. That is because it is following the lane marker and not the road.
Had you read the citation I posted you would have seen that Alexander Hamilton, also a Founding Father, pointed out just that.
Alexander Hamilton, only after the Constitution had been ratified, argued for a broad interpretation which viewed spending as an enumerated power Congress could exercise independently to benefit the general welfare, such as to assist national needs in agriculture or education, provided that the spending is general in nature and does not favor any specific section of the country over any other.
Funds thus obtained should not be spent on simple charity:
The same could be said for foreign aid, disaster relief, disability support, etc. We vote people into office and direct them to be charitable in many ways because we as a people see charity as a good thing..
By the way, Madison was talking about giving aid to French refugees from the Haitian Revolution and not all charity in general. There is still a debate about this as programs like this may fall under the General Welafe Clause. It could be said that it is good for the general welfare of a country to take care of their people who have disabilities.
This program has been around since 2010. The only difference now is that the administration is sending out letters to people they see as eligible for this program. Up until now there have been few who have applied for it. It could be they do not know about it, think it is too difficult, or that they do not qualify. All the letter does is emphasize that they can apply and sets out the process. This is not a straight out forgiveness. Each disabled person must apply and be approved to have their loan forgiven.
OOPS, I guess 90,180 would be better. The north pole is definitely an invalid location for an object. Even 0,0 is not a bad location as it is in the ocean.
Sometimes altimeters show above ground altitude and not above sea level. AGL is set on takeoff and if they fly into a valley they can go below takeoff altitude.
You talk about "military and aerospace" and then "acceptable reliability" . Those term are generally mutually exclusive. Today's "acceptable reliability" is not being able to work in rain/snow. There is a big leap in cost/complexity to get over those conditions.
There is a reason that military and aerospace equipment is extremely expensive. Would a self driving car be viable if the chassis cost $10k and the sensor suite cost $1000K?
- no, it's a horrible thing to use government oppression to dictate behaviour, especially discriminating behaviour.
The people dictate that many behaviours are not acceptable and enforce it with laws. Punching someone is called assault. Telling lies about someone is slander.
PR consequences is one thing
PR consequences is quite often not enough to change behaviour.
why are people running businesses all of a sudden having their rights taken away from them?
What rights would those be?
Government discriminates even with the very 'anti-discrimination' laws by splitting people into categories and then applying different rules to them.
That may be true but only in very specific cases. Just because the government discriminates in certain instances does not men discrimination is a good thing in all cases.
Or the person who wants to discriminate can move to a country that does not have anti-discrimination laws. When a society decides that discrimination is unlawful it is a good thing.
It sounds like a story about a digital altimeter on a new ground attack aircraft. The programmer was trying to figure out what to display in case of a malfunction. He asked a pilot what altitude they normally flew at. He stated '2,000 ft" and that is what the programmer displayed. There was a warning on the aircraft that if the altimeter said "2,000ft for more than 5 second to pull up. It was fixed in the next install. Why he didn't just display all 9's no one knows.
In this case 0 degrees lat and 0 degrees lon would have been much better. That is an obvious incorrect location.
Did you forget the civil rights movement in the '60s? There were national anti discrimination laws but discrimination was still widespread in the south. What if it is a small town and the only taxi company didn't like homosexuals? The town would not have enough pull to change the State or National law but locally it would be difficult fr homosexuals to get transportation.
I am 100% certain they will tell you that your car is a 'place of business' and because of that you lost your natural right to discriminate.
When you do busines in your car , IE taking money for transporting someone, it does become a place of business.
Slave Codes weren't just an idea, they were laws.
It was also lawful to beat one's wife with a stick no thicker than a man's thumb. It is call social progress. Just because it was done in the past does not mean it is valid now. What happens if all taxi services decide to discriminate against one class of people? That is the problem with laws; it is almost impossible to write a law that allows some discrimination.

Have you done a study to see if Blades blow germs off the floor? If not you are speculating.
The germs in the study came directly from the hands not the floor.

The water sprayed around by the Blade is generally pretty clean as it just came out of a tap. Any major germ concentrations on the hands would be washed away with the soap when rinsing the hands.
Air Blades and air blowers beat paper towels in resource usage. Priorities change.
I called a friend on not washing his hands. His reply was "In the Navy they teach us not to piss on our fingers".

Under such interpretation of the term "general welfare", there is no limit on the government power at all.
Try reading this on the limits. Due to the fact the loan forgiveness applies to all disabled people in all the states it is not local in scope.
Would you accept a President's claim, that torturing suspects...
The general welafre clause deals with government spending power and not power in general. Water boarding dos not come into this conversation at all

But that meat sack can interpret what it sees while the sensors have yet to crack that.
