I imagine Edison, Marconi, and Tesla may have had loftier ambitions in mind for their technological breakthroughs.
Exceptional individuals are rare by their very nature, and it seems likely they're prone to misunderstanding the minds and motivation of the regular folk.
Still, the technology is there for someone who wishes to use it to access the collected knowledge of mankind, so the misuse by the many doesn't completely negate the original intent.
I'm an occasional Prime Pantry shopper, and noticed a big push for Whole Food products at the brickless, mortarless, site...
The success of such marketing would undoubtedly shrink expenses and allow lower pricing to achieve the same margins... at least until dominant market share is achieved.
Where did those millions go? Walmart, Starbucks, various other retailers and over the last several years, the Social Security disability participants have bulged - which are not counted in any unemployment statistic.
Disability rolls have indeed ballooned by some 3.5 million recipients since 2002.
Undoubtedly, there are genuinely disabled folks receiving this benefit alongside the ones using it as a UBI. The $64,000 question? Is it easier to keep the poor on subsistence level income if you make them feel a little dirty about it?
Well, they will need something to do while they are waiting to 'watch the battery fill up' when on wireless charging, since wireless generally charges at a fraction of the wires charge rates;) They shouldn't have to watch and wait more than a few hours....
That's the thing, isn't it? People with access to the Smartphone Club need something to do while they're waiting on, well, literally everything; a turd to crown, the light to turn green, the boss to come back around.
We have to ask ourselves what's been lost... think of the poor magazine salesmen who are out of work now that waiting rooms don't have to be stocked with their wares.
All baseball teams interested in successfully competing for a post-season appearance steal signs, bases, players, and every imaginable advantage over their opponent(s) whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Yankees whine, mention tech giant, get press coverage...
The day an AI can do all the bullshit paperwork I have to deal with, is the day I gladly let an AI take my job.
I'll go weave baskets or something for a living, at that point.
By the time a robotic replacement can do all the bullshit paperwork you have to deal with, Irona will also be making the break room coffee and weaving baskets during the time you you to waste in the bathroom and on vacation every year.
The goal of all of this shit should be to eliminate as much work as possible for the good of everyone but our economic system will not allow for that.
Our technological evolution has far outpaced our societal evolution and I mean globally not just America.
See, that'd be just fucking great if the spoils of economic freedom permitted by robotic industry were shared by the people.
It just seems much more likely it will exploit the accrual wealth by an infinitesimal percentage of the population.
Westinghouse, AREVA (Olkilouto 3), and now Duke Energy... More and more players seem to have trouble when trying to to re-start building new nuclear plants...
Hmmm... love me some solar, and full disclosure, I'm not against government interference in the markets in the form of subsidies to develop it, wind,
and other renewables.
But. Baseline generation is important to the delicate balance of the grid. How about some some friggin' government interference in the markets on behalf of next-generation nuclear power development?
The data includes information on 80 million email servers, and it's all used to identify which recipients have Windows computers, so they can be targeted in follow-up emails delivering Windows-specific malware.
Likely, all of which, requires some complicit user imbecility to embed.
Who decides which publishers are 'working hard to uncover the truth"? Subscribers?
Clearly, there will be a think tank of Zuckerberg loyalists who will lean toward the good of all mankind as the heart of all their decision-making process. The road to somewhere is paved with these good intentions.
Nonetheless, the good of all mankind will inevitably benefit some lucky creatures more than, and occasionally at the expense of, some other less fortunate creatures.
In the grand scheme of things, in the statistically improbable event this system of information delivery is biased, it still may be indistinguishable from current news delivery services.
Speaking with Eurogamer in June, Sony's Jim Ryan suggested that, in the case of Minecraft, Sony was wary to expose that game's young players to "external influences we have no ability to manage or look after."
Clearly, you missed the part where it's all about the children.
Say what you will, but automation of most jobs seems likely to occur as soon as companies can get their hands on the machines to replace their pesky human counterparts. Bricklaying is a repetitive, labor intensive chore ripe for the transition, yet there are undoubtedly bricklayers out there who would deny their job can be done by robotics.
I've noticed a lot of people are pretty sure the job they do is unlikely to be replaced by a machine.
Hang on, it's been a full 10 minutes since I reassured everyone on Facebook I'm still living, and I hear someone fell off their bike in Australia. They need to know it wasn't me. Be right back...
That's exactly the way some people already use the Facebook, constantly posting up to the minute, mundane little details about their special little lives.
The success of Netflix has led to competition in the on-demand game, and the recent Disney defection from the Netflix umbrella likely an indication of an increase in on-demand providers.
Right now, you can still bundle Netflix with Amazon Prime and an HBO subscription to get a good bit of the market for a reasonable monthly outlay, but as industry watchdogs have suggested, Netflix only works if there aren't too many Netflix-type providers bidding for content.
Given the volume and value of the goods, I find it hard to believe that the couple had no idea it wasn't just a really good deal, but I can somewhat see why they might not have fully realized it was a crime.
Well, unless they were under the impression the gift-card-that-kept-on-giving was a magical talisman, I'd have to lean towards some malfeasance. For certain, their story won't be retold on an episode of Criminal Masterminds... they apparently had the purchases sent to their home and were reselling them on the Facebook
Your breakdown of the brackets is spot on, but still, the richest earners don't have a corner on significant deductions.
In fact, many deductions such as the Earned Income Tax Credit are only available to lower threshold earners. The lower earners possibly also qualify for assistance from the State.
The point is simply that the lower earners do not necessarily skewer the income tax revenue for the governors.

Just off the bathroom alone, that's going to be a lot of baskets.
Heh heh... and ultimately, who's the robot even making the coffee for?

Nice post.
80 million email servers
thats a lot of email servers!
Right, and for a total compromise of 711,000,000 users, that's what?
9 users per server?

Pharmaceuticals, weapons, drone delivery...
That's about right... outsourcing industry formerly dominated domestically by hungry students, prisoners, and members of the military.

It's all about money. Nothing new.

That means that at minimum wage it costs almost $3,000 to make a shirt without automation and without counting the cost of materials.
I suspect that's also why we used to wear animal skins so frequently.
I've noticed a lot of people are pretty sure the job they do is unlikely to be replaced by a machine.

I don't know why you're so surprised. Told you the top of the page check the maths.
