Open source can be great, when it's got a dedicated team behind it and stays motivated over time.
Unfortunately open source also has a lot of unchecked prima donnas that make a big splash do some shaky code and then ignore the project because they can't be bothered to bug fix or do maintenance or documentation. Or they abandon their project because they lose interest. Or they fork a thriving project and cause political disruption within it's supporters because they can't manage to get along with everyone else who contributes code.
ARM licenses their core chips, where manufacturers provide all the rest of the CPU's architecture, or ARM will license their architecture where companies can create their own cores around ARM's instruction set. So you're way off base as far as customization of ARM goes.
The interesting part of this new RISC-V chip is will all these competing companies be able to set aside their IP claims or will they bury the chip in so many patent encumbrances that it never leaves the fab.
Absolutely none of this is about product however. Perfectly profitable products with decades of guaranteed revenue ahead of them get cut every day because they're seen as dead ends. Everything IBM is doing is about their stock portfolio.
Yet, also often but not always, someone who's the top of their field will be paralyzed by the need for perfection and create endless complexity and delays as they seek a solution worthy of their reputation rather than something that just works.
Why does Windows 10 randomly split settings between the Settings app and the Control Panel, with some things like mouse configuration requiring you to use both to get all of the options?) but I have a lot of sympathy with Microsoft for wanting third-party drivers to stop crashing their kernel.
I've found with each update of Windows 10 that they move more of the old control panel settings into the new Settings app. I think it's just something they're taking their time with rather than rushing headlong into.
Much more likely from the container being dropped off an autonomously piloted freighter ship, being driving by an autonomous truck to the AI managed warehouse, product being dispatched by an AI distribution system to AI drones, no humans will be involved at all.
The pipe dream that the offset workers can be put to work maintaining their new autonomous overlords is just that. For one, nobody is going to buy autonomous vehicles that need constant maintenance. They will build them as non-servicable modules that another robot can easily pop in and out at an autonomous repair shop that a vehicle drives to when it's sensors find a fault or on a maintenance timetable.
Hahah! Zing! Hilarious analogy! Because driving a horse drawn carriage is entirely different from driving trucks. Like, 100% nothing in common. No sireebob.
"Libertarian" \= Liberal. It's more akin to anarchist day dreams in that the only way to defend your rights is with a gun, you are entangled into never ending circles of HOA like agreements and insurance contracts from everything from building roads to compensation for the pollution factory next door to you pouring their waste stream through your living room. Corporations get their way through intimidation and private militia's and anyone poor is pretty much fucked.
No, not at all. The characters were clearly shown as a bunch of evil assholes at best. They were filmed no differently than the typical mobster family movie except in nicer suits.
If you thought hose characters were being portrayed heroically there may be little to no hope for you.
Oh right.. you want us to wave away accuracy in the portrayal of capitalist sharks and stay on the conservative message that someday they'll trickle down on us.
Yeah... I remember the scene where Rambo put on a tie dye shirt, stuck some flowers in his hair and sang campfire songs with the police before they all went out for locally sourced fair trade frozen yogurts....
China would spend 6 months on the ISS copying everything then send up 10 cheap knockoffs made of fake parts that fall out of the sky until the government gets too embarrassed and executes a few executives, then they'll launch something useful.
No, no they should not. The whole reason regulatory agencies exist is because Congress works at glacial speeds and is simply not nimble enough, or focused enough, to regulate industries that change the rules every other year. Getting Congress to enact a law can take years and huge public effort, and then it is next to impossible to have that law effectively updated once it's on the books and precedents have been set around it. By then the industry it was aimed at will have changed so much it's just a paper tiger.
So you're saying large businesses use all the tools available to them to stab their competitors in the back, including sweetheart legislation. And your solution is to remove all the constraints on businesses rather than impose more constraints on bigger businesses.. riiiight... totally logical... also, that doesn't refute my argument that cheating bastard corporations are why regulations are so complex, it pretty much proves it.
99% of the "complexity" of regulations, is because business people are cheating bastards who spend more time thinking up ways to steal a dishonest buck than make an honest one, and the Government response to that.
Well, if you work in an environment where your boss sees you as a liability and not an asset and pays you minimum wage because they can't legally pay you less, then I suppose you'd hate your job too.
As for tips, most sit down restaurants are worse than fast food because not only are they being paid under minimum wage (in exchange for those tips.. which aren't that much during lunch shifts or non-weekend shifts) people tend to treat the wait staff as more of their personal servants for that big $3 tip they intend to splurge on. Or the comedians who ask for all kinds of personal attention and then their "tip" is a handwritten note to find a better job on the bill.
Tips are not an incentive, they're a carrot on a stick that management waves around as a promise that despite their massively low wage, they might MAYBE make enough if they work really hard.
Here's a "tip" for you.. Americans do not value hard work. Oh, we'll wax nostalgic about it, but a guy digging ditches isn't making more than the average golfing CEO either. We only use that hard work line when it's someone else working for us.
Let's all first admit that "Capital" is a retarded animal.. if JitB's CEO is worried about profitability he can just announce JitBCoin's and Wall Street will go nuts shoving money at him.

I think you've proved my point rather succinctly actually.
Nice to see the main stream still won't call a white guy a terrorist.

You're overlooking the Golden Rule, son.
HE who HAS THE GOLD makes the rules.
Until he ticks off the one who has the army.
Interestingly enough, the people who clamor most against diversity typically only go skin deep in their arguments as well.

I have many guns.
The Conservative dichotomy: I must be armed so that I can keep the police from oppressing me/We need strong police to protect us.
Sounds like the police treated that civilian as an enemy combatant.
That is precisely what the officer did. Anyone who isn't police is the enemy in their eyes.

Ooo ooo! Now wave away his advocacy of incest and group marriage..

There will be more people without sufficient funds to buy Jack in the Box's products, so fewer sales, so less profit.
Prices will be expected to drop, since they're not paying all those pesky humans, so less profit.
If the CEO is willing to cut it's workforce for robots, where else are they cutting corners? Lost sales due to suspicion, less profits.
