the main two reasons it fails is splitting up a poor countries wealth amoung the people means everyone is poor; and also no one wants to be the garbage man or toilet cleaner when everyone is paid equally. This is easily fixed with lots of money and robots.
communism hasn't been tried, we tried socialism, but communism needs a prosperous period of capitalism to occour first (splitting up a rich country betweeen the people, is much better than splitting up a poor country). If a rich society tried communism they would have a much better chance of success; If they used robots to do the jobs people don't want to, i think they have an excellent chance. I heard a chineese empror tried to get the moon and i didn't work, then the US failed multiple times, but that dosn't mean it wasn't possible.
Is it's an incredibly bad design. Terrible form, and lackluster function. With a heads up display done properly, you wont be able to find a person that dosn't want to have one.
Yeah yeah yeah, and a bunch of tiny little switches and wires will never be able to run a simulation of the world, with realistic physics, which you can run around in and play against AI (warning the AI isn't actully sentient in this case), or against other human players which might be on the other side of world.
The weighted model is how everybodys brain works, this is just replicating it on silicon. It works in simulation, its just you need a supercomputer to model a worms brain.
A crowdsourcing type aproach could be a possible solution. If anyone that cares enough about a paticular decision is given an oportunity to be a part of the decision making process, then they could out weigh the people just in it for them selves. Do you need to own the whole goverment or just the part that interests/effects you? For example i don't care what type of flowers are planted at our park or if school kids should have more or less holidays, but i do care about our next gen internet service.
You can still hardwire it. You just set all of the wires at the start to be weighted to zero (high resistance) till the brain decides it needs the connection.
Neruomorphic chips are going to be a big change. When we are simulating hundreds of neruons and synapses on transistors and memory it uses a huge amount of resources (transistors, silicon, memory) to do even a simple job like win jeopardy, once we are building millions of hardwired versions of these neurons and synapses (which has already started, essintally just a bunch of wires that can change resistance) it becomes much more accessible and much more powerfull.
Its an old saying that fussion is always 20 years away. That said we have had net gains in power with multiple fussion experiments now, and even a guy that claims to have produced lenr (low energy nuclear reactions) almost akin to alchemy because it turns nickle into copper. I can list all the successfull AI research and devolpment, but ultimately the only way to see who is right is to wait 10 years. To be fair the kind of AI they were talking about 50 years ago does exist today in stuff like siri, ibm watson, and driverless cars. What is going to happen over the next 10 years or so is going from simulation (ibm watson) to hardwired (neruomorphic processors) which will be much faster, cheaper and alot more energy effcient.
They didn't have a period of prosperous capitalism first, that lenin predicted they would need. There are two problems to face with commuism. First if your country and people are all poor, splitting up what little you have and sharring it equally just means a lot of people have next to nothing. Secondly if all people are equal, and paid equal, how do you convince some people their job is to clean toilets while other people are testing video games. A period of properous capitilism while the country builds industry and gets rich solves the first problem, the second problem is solved with robot toilet cleaners.
I disagree. In that scenario there can still be a market, its just a market for very expensive items, for only the people with money (robot owners). You are right about the slums, riots, and chaos, but that could also be solved with robots (terminator style).
I fear you maybe a little short sighted. Very smart AI is just around the corner (and i'm not talking ibm watson, i'm talking hardwired neuromorphic chips based on our own brains). There won't be much a human can do, that it wont be able to do better. I'm on the optimistic side, and think we will have human level ai in 10 years, but even if you are not, 25-50 years is easily more than enough time to complete it (think how far computers have come in 30 years). If the computer is as smart as a human it won't matter how many training courses you go to, the computer can complete them almost instantaneously, then work 24/7, possibly even at a faster rate.
Hail the rise of robo-communism, as capitalism is a dead end. If only we wern't told so much how evil communism is. Interestingly, true communism (never actully tried) requires a period of prosperus capitalism first.
If the bike is light enough and you stick to the smooth road no suspension is fine (a lot if not most bikes have no suspension). If your bike has the weight of a motor and a battery on board, and you like to take immiginative shortcuts over curbs, side walks, and parks, then front suspension is preferable (maybe even rear suspension if your bike weighs enough). Most suspension can be manually set these days, so if you ussually obey the law and only ride on the road you can set it to be quite stiff. You are right though, horses for courses and all.
From someone who built his own electric bike, the one shown is pretty crap. zero suspension on a heavier than normal bike is a bad idea, and will limit what you can do. Also 250 watts is nothing, i know thats all that is legal in europe, and actully too powerfull for australia, but you can have 750 watts in america, and i havn't met a cop with multimeter yet; ultimately the more power, the more usefull, and fun (although it adds to the price of motor and battery). Lastly its too expensive, mine using a mountain bike frame, 1kw motor, and 1/2 kwh battery cost around $2000, it dosn't look as pretty, but it will kick this bikes ass (full offroad capable and will do 55kph on the flat if the wind is blowing the right way).
I can understand wanting to get away from google. Whether apple or microsoft are also guility is different, with them you are atleast the customer, you pay them for services and software; however with google you are the product and google sells you to all their customers (other big evil corporations). Now if google had the same integrity they seemed to have at the start, you might be more inclined to keep on going with the deal; but with them taking ownership of your email and mining it for data, forcing everyone onto google+, the locking down of android, buying double click, killing of projects that arn't profitable enough, i can easily understand peoples fears.
Hardly, these people are making all the same mistakes google has (dual, see through, full size glasses lenses please). For an acquisition you need to come up with a product people actually want. Solve all the problems, generally put in all the hard yards, and be able to take the market by storm; then you can get a few billion to shut you up, while google uses it to make the same money every quarter.
They will only let us fly to work in these multirotor vehicles when computers are the ones doing the flying. When you cant trust some one to use an indicator, or keep out of the right hand lane when not overtaking, then your not going to be able to trust them with another dimension, and multiple spinning blades of doom (well maybe if you get them through the long process of getting a piolts licence). Also if you want a full size mutirotor aircraft electric has a lot of advantages, less wear and tear, easier system to test for propblems before flight, and the motors need very quick changes in speed for stability, which electronic speed controlls and electric brushless motors do excelently; we just need better electrical storage, which is on its way.
The only way i see humans being able to stay in the loop is brain upgrades. If you get a few proccessors, and fast memory/storage up there, and the bus connection to our consciousness dosn't cause too much of a drag factor on the machine, then we maybe able to keep up for a bit longer. That said i have no doubt we will exceed human brain speeds with other tech in the future (current neruomorphic chips are slowed down over a thousand times, just so humans can keep up with whats going on).
With suffcient AI inteligence, per human productivity can theoritcally be infinite, because there is no reason for everyone on earth to have infinte productivity (2 times infinity is stil infinity) only a few rich people will under capitalism.

Easy. Start with a poor country ravaged by war, backed by another poor country also ravaged by war.

So technically it might not be part of the US, but you are a fool if you belive they don't have a very pro western/american goverment now installed.

That is an excellent point sir.

Japan tried the same trick for a decade or two, before then taking over the industries they were imitating.

Working for google is now definatly working against the common good, however i wont have hard proof for around another 10 years (when it is too late).
I can understand wanting to get away from google. Whether apple or microsoft are also guility is different, with them you are atleast the customer, you pay them for services and software; however with google you are the product and google sells you to all their customers (other big evil corporations).

answer. The robot will work for a lot less, and for a lot longer, with a lot less complaining.
