This technically should have never happen since that software and it's point-to-point instructions would have been or should have been audited for the process. I'm surprised this happened actually.
There are only two outcomes of UBI and neither of them are good. The first is that if work for Americans goes away, then it will set up a two-tiered civil society. One that works and one that does. Those that don' and receive UBI will become effectively outcasts and no amount of laws or regulations to have them recognized will be sufficient to not have them become ostracized in society. The ones that do work will become nothing but wage slaves trying to make sure they never end up in the UBI tier. Some say we have that now. Not so, you are, currently, the arbiter of your own destiny for the most part. You can still take control of your life and do with it as you wish, even with onerous government regulations from the fed to the local pushing down the pressures to conform and many times ridiculously to their whims. You can still make it and successfully so.
But if UBI becomes adopted, mainstream, and entrenched it will signal a seismic shift in the government welfare distribution model. Many will see it as an opportunity to simply fade out of the workforce in favor of doing less and getting less. No one so far knows how much UBI will give you. I haven't seen it anyway, but I can tell you that the mentality for UBI is centered solely on farming subservience and votes to the state. As long as you receive your free lunch, you won't be so inclined to vote it away. This is why leftism is so nefarious and insidious. It worms its way into the societal collective as a well intentioned idea meant to care for those that can't care for themselves. It is there to help you. It is no different than becoming a drug addict. The pusher will give you a few hits for free and then they will hook you in and then you are theirs. Government programs are no different.
No, what needs to happen is that 3rd world countries need to get off their asses and modernize. They are the primary source of CO2 emissions. Not efficient running countries like the US.
And they wonder why people go outside of their typical content distribution networks to get content they want to see. This is just a giant fuck you to the country that started the Star Trek phenomena and for what? Nothing but to push them to their stupid service. Idiots.
Wut? So are you trying to apply an existential theory of galaxy discovery? Everything that exists in the universe now already exists, is going out of existence, no longer exists, or is about to exist. Our observance of these things is just that an observance. Just because we are seeing them for the first time doesn't mean they weren't there the whole time until we got a more powerful telescope and VIOLA!!! They popped into existence because of it. lulz.
All of this needless baby proofing of America and the world from the ill effects of life have got to stop. We are ceding vast controls of our daily lives to government and people in government who can't do anything right and now we are talking about UBI as if it's an inevitability. Why are so god damned dead set on plowing our citizens and the US into national suicide like this? It's never going to end is it? More people will ask to be taken care of in return for whatever the government asks of them. They are willingly marching into the ovens so to speak.
But ultimately that's not the point. The real point is, is that Apple or anyone else would legislate that the right-to-fix anything can be made illegal. Is that really what we want to have happen in America? Seriously? Even if you personally never choose to fix anything, then that's fine, but don't allow a company to try and take that 'right' away from me. At least I should have a choice to exercise a repair if I want to or not. This pretty much goes for anything else too.
Also, where will this end? The ability to not being able to have the right to repair anything you buy is in a word unamerican. We have a long and storied culture in this country of being and having some of doing some of the best repair work on anything in the world. Not having a right to repair won't just stop at electronics. It will migrate to everything, your washer, your dryer, your watch, your car, you name it. In fact, this will trickle down to property rights in the end. If you can't repair anything you own, then you really don't own it. In reality, you will simply be leasing it and that's the way things are going. If I am not allowed to repair something I spend my money on and requires repair of some kind, but I'm told that simply the act of opening it up is a violation of TOS/EULA or whatever bullshit manufacturers come up with, then I am in effect, not the true owner of the product. How far will this go down the rabbit hole?
Look, I have designed and engineered all kinds of products in my 25 year product development career. Most of the stuff I've made you will never see or use. The idea that what I am making and having customers buy it but never really own it or can repair it just chaps my ass more than even Louis Rossman's sentiment. The right to repair is such a foreign concept that I'm amazed we are even discussing it, but I cause the corporate state we belong in now is driving a lot of this. Think about it, I could potentially be a criminal if I try to fix what I own or think I own. In fact, I may not even own it, therefore I may not be allowed to fix it. Ridiculous on it's face and should never be allowed to happen.
What do you mean it's about time? Moeller skycar has been sitting on the sidelines for decades with nothing to show for it. This will end up being the same.
Are you implying that those people who support Trump don't have a brain? Is that the philosophical hill you want to die on? Can we please get away from denigrating people as being dumb based on those they elect? Can we start to do that once and for all please?
He's also a British subject, so his opinion on American politics and Trump in particular really doesn't hold much sway.
Oh please, you ever see what it takes to make a battery, not to mention the mining operations required to acquire the materials to make them? Hydrogen electrolysis and containment is vastly cheaper and simpler. The fact that there is already a distribution network in place is attractive since the wheel doesn't have to be reinvented again like Tesla has been doing with their charging stations.
The idea is about options. Shitting on one technology because you don't like it's 'downsides' to promote yours is like setting up a monopolistic system. I don't like that at all. Let me decide what I like and then let the market decide what is viable. Simple.
Wait, so does ignorance of the law not being an excuse go both ways? If a LEO illegally issues a ticket because he doesn't know the law changed, then is the person who gets the ticket liable for the illegality and its payment? Simply paying it is like saying that it's an implied admission when none should have happened. The is another reason for me on why any laws that used 'implied' anything should be barred from usage.
The fed is the problem here and always has been. It is been the regulatory predator against business and business strikes back by automating. Then people complain that they are losing their jobs and then people like gross want government to 'solve' the problem again. The entire thing is a giant circle jerk firing squad.
Space is hard. For the japs moreso. Some nations should just stop bothering with their own space programs. There is nothing they can glean that they couldn't be doing a collaborative effort with countries that do space well.

Stop predicting, start doing. Really getting annoyed with these fantasy prediction articles.

Well, for a free citizenship to be called an Asguardian was worth it to me. Sausage party ahoy!!!

So basically they are deploying it in places no one gives a fuck about.
Ah, another lie perpetuated by the left that associates alt-right with white power. It isn't, but you go ahead and keep on believing that.
I think you can DUI on a horse too.
No, she's an open borders globalist bucking up to Godfather Soros.
Fell good public relations happy talk that basically will accomplish next to nothing and afford Zuckerdouche a fat tax advantage.
I, for one await my BrendleFly overlord.
I wonder what I'll get when I type in AnalCuntMouth? Oh look, a picture of flowers. Fail.
Should I +1 this for sheer effort?
You shouldn't presume to speak for all of humanity.
And neither should you with your smug self-righteousness about what you believe is good for yourself and others.
Climate change? pshaw!!! I thought it was from the collective crying from the tears of SJW's.
And they wonder why people go outside of their typical content distribution networks to get content they want to see. This is just a giant fuck you to the country that started the Star Trek phenomena and for what? Nothing but to push them to their stupid service. Idiots.
