Us, men, we still need women to reproduce, and them women tend to be close to our age. We can revisit your argument once medical progress made women no longer a requirement.
I currently use a 6.5" Huawei Honor Note 8 -- $400, ordered directly from China. The battery seems to last forever compared to last Samsung Galaxy Note minus the fire hazard. I am happy they realized there is a market for phablets in US but will stay away from the subpar battery at a premium price point.
The key is to have pillar cross-section shorter than the distance between eyes -- voila, can see right through it, without realizing it! I only noticed this effect after I got a new car -- suddenly pillars were an obstacle.
He CAN block anyone from his twitter account just like his predecessors blocked "free speech activists" from writing graffiti on the White House. He CANNOT send the latter to electric chair for commenting unfavorably. Please understand the difference. In many countries speaking ill of the leader will get you death by firing squad.
With one exception, a progressive tax system, which hurts the wealthy more than the poor.
I am yet to see a "hurt" wealthy person. Sales tax, lower tax on investment income, and some creative accounting more than compensate for the progressive tax system.
A 1930th Germany was not a fascist dictatorship either. What happened? Here's a little insight from Naomi Wolf. My grandparents told me how during Stalin repressions KGB was eavesdropping everyone and sending less fortunate ones to forced labour camp. We are not there yet, but we already got NSA to take care of... needs.
After they spent millions and partnered with Tesla to develop an electric RAV-4 they discontinued it even though it meant paying a penalty in California. My bet is that some exec got himself a private island in the Caribbean, courtesy of your neighborhood oil cartel. I do not expect any innovation from Toyota in the EV department, other than to encumber the technology with patents.
Genetic algorithm. Just like the one that created humans, only much, much faster. Millions of generations in mere hours. In the near future hardware will be less and less limiting. It can achieve a level of self-awareness compared to which we are cats. When this happens we (a) will not be aware that it has happened and (b) will not have any control over it besides pulling the plug, since it would be pretty much self-programmed.
I only read a preview of this book When Computers Can Think: The Artificial Intelligence Singularity. They give a good overview of current accomplishments in the field and the logical prediction of the trend. The AI already beats us in Chess, Starcraft and (the scariest one) Rock Paper Scissors. Why is it scary? Because you cannot defeat robots that are both more intelligent than you and move orders of magnitude faster than you.
If you want a chupacabra managing your startup then get it a proper H1B visa with the rest of them. I don't see the need for a special loophole, sorry.
Easy: I raise $250K, invite someone i need for a temp job or other purpose, register a business. Do I need to invest all $250K at once? ever? Can I buy a Mazerati and say this is a business car? The dude can start driving a taxi over the next 5 years for all I care.
No, this is just another avenue to smuggle foreigners into the country. The plan that this will be used for creating jobs is really far fetched. Anyone who can show $250K (do they even need to show it?) is allowed to to invite anyone they please for 5 years. The cover that the money will be used to start a business is really hard to prove or verify. Also, who is going to invest into a business of a foreign tourist with a temp visa?
As exposed in This Film Is Not Yet Rated when an industry "regulates itself" with help of "major" players, they quickly adapt this vehicle to keep the lesser competitors out.
Facebook has told moderators to remove dehumanizing speech
Does not smell like defending of free speech to me. They are defending whatever side of the fence they are on at the moment by censoring any dissenting views. I suspect they used full-on censorship to affect US elections.

This is only a proof of concept. The final version will also have a machine gun.
British invented the English language, and whatever they use is the de facto international standard.
...all Russian government should not use US Windows software because it does contain CIA backdoor to get in!

Local municipality cannot build its own network, because the usual suspects hold a government mandated monopoly. Comcast sued a city trying to build high-speed internet.

Can it beat this Android phone made by Huawei + Leica ? Didn't think so.

Apparently the invention of cardinal grammeters goes as far back as 1944.

I am sorry about a simplified introduction. The book concentrates on how and why the AI is bound to become more intelligent than humans.

We already have this, the role is called "a manager", and it is an employee position.

This scheme in fact involves creating US jobs
No, this is just another avenue to smuggle foreigners into the country. The plan that this will be used for creating jobs is really far fetched.

Isn't that the goal of every business?
I never look at critic's scores, just whether the studio-hired review spambots liked it.
"Audience" reviews can be generated by a bot. Having a fixed set of critics is the only salvation.
But at the same time they heavily censoring everything else they don't like. Please do us a favor an re-read TFS.
