The trucks are still going to be there, unless you plan on the restaurant only serving water?
Industry in general can't work without road access. If it's not trucks, then it'll need to be rail. The kind of city you envision is only suitable for service industries and consumer businesses. That means jobs will be outside the city's boundaries (if they exist at all), and people will need to commute out to get to work (probably with a car).
Only if you don't count the Model 3. Tesla's own numbers tells a different story:
Gross margin for total automotive decreased from 28% to 21% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Actually politicians spend most of their time fundraising for their next election. As for reading, they have aides (and lobbyists) who do that for them.
Nope, nobody censors any of them. They're quite capable of speaking and they do get published.
I seem to recall at least one case of "deplatforming" where a website was forced off the internet by their ISP, actually several ISPs if I remember correctly. If that's not censorship, I don't know what is.
Apparently many of the "average Joe" are apparently unable to discern between fact and fiction.
Things like, "12:30 Aug 27th you will see two moons in the sky, but only one will be the moon. The other will be Mars. It won't happen again until 2287. No one alive today has ever witnessed this happening."
How do you know people actually believe that? A lot of that sharing could be for humor. I know at least one troll that makes flat earth posts just for laughs.
Besides, how do you know it's wrong? I'm going to guess that you trusted someone or something that told you Mars is much further away than the Moon, that they're set in their orbits and thus will never* become as bright as the Moon. Of course, you think the people you trust is trustworthy, but can you verify that?
Now replace something that most people have direct knowledge of (Moon and Mars), with something that most people know nothing about except through news, like the Clinton email scandal or Trump Russian ties. Who should they trust? How do they know they are trustworthy?
*Technically it's impossible to know whether this will happen. There could be a black hole traveling near the speed of light that would send Mars careening towards Earth.
I think they will just fail. It takes serious detective work to figure out locations of photos, and Facebook's going to use that to fact check millions of photos posted daily?
As for harmful to Democrats during election, that's even harder to tell. Lots of stuff that seems good from a liberal perspective actually triggers moderates and conservatives, like the whole transgender bathroom fiasco or shaming people for saying Merry Christmas. Do you allow news about those things or not?
You are right, nobody is silencing Republicans. They first have to slap them with a "Neo-Nazi", "Alt-Right" or "Sexist" label, and then they censor them.
The only way to keep people from offending each other would be to separate them so thoroughly that nobody ever encounters anyone who was in any way different from them in opinions and outlook.
That's the promise of VR and AI. One day someone will build a version of Matrix where people can do whatever they want without dealing with anyone else. I guarantee you that people will flock to it.
So either we learn to live with each other, which may make us miserable, or we learn to live apart, which will certainly make us miserable.
That's just you always being miserable. I'm happy being with other people, but I'm perfectly happy alone too.
Much of the planning is something only he'll can do. Above all, he's an entertainer, which means his work gets harder when not much is happening in the game, and prepping for that will take up time and mental capacity.
Other than that, how much setup is there for streaming a game? Turn on the lights, webcam, screen recording software, sign in to Twitch and maybe have a can of coke ready?
So in essence he's complaining he has to work every day to earn his high salary. What did he think, that he could just stop working and continue to get paid to do nothing?
If he invest it, then yes. He'll be paid to do nothing.
These guys are still way better than the people who are born into wealth.
Yes, for a real experiment they need to self fund and pair up with a neighboring village who can act as the control. They should also set a much lower amount because $2500 is way above what most people need to live and much higher than what most UBI proponents are proposing.
There's no such thing as "fair share". The rich are able to pay more, and so they do. If they don't like how much they're paying, they're free to move to Somalia or something.
Sounds stupid. If UBI is working out well, why would they let anyone else in for free? You didn't help them create it, you don't deserve the benefits.
If I were running the show I'd have anyone trying to move in to pay the equivalent of 5 years of UBI as entry fee and demonstrate they have positive net worth.

Seems very whimsical and stereotypically British.
I just use "bunch" to describe all of those.
Maybe you should start your day earlier then. Wake up at 6 AM instead of 7 AM.
You know, if they got rid of the first 2 in that list, they could be even more successful.
If you want to come home early, find a job that lets you telecommute.
Tesla are making about 30% on their cars: https://electrek.co/2018/07/16..

Why does it cost to maintain an old application though? Why does the platforms and APIs it relies on have to change constantly?
Your company doesn't want to maintain two applications that perform similar functions.
Why not? How much does it really cost to maintain an old application?
The old will not receive updates or support and will die.
Why? How much has the API to the underlying hardware changed? If not, what's breaking the old software?
You might be trolling, but my phone does tell me when to leave for my flights.
Backpacking is not exactly a splurging kind of hobby though. I spent maybe $500 on my last trip, most of it on gas and a nice pair of boots.
We need a law that bans unwarranted cookie warnings. And those click-through TOU and EULAs.

Sure, and it's super easy to spoof if you cared enough.

Just because the teapot called the kettle black, doesn't mean they're not both black.
Frankly all of those can offend people. Just call it what it is:
Master -> Controller
Slave -> Controlled
Or better yet:
Master -> Political Correctness
Slave -> White Men
