China's system is incredibly safe too. It's the largest in the world by a long way, and carries about 1.4 billion passengers a year. So far only one fatal accident, which puts it way ahead of any other mode of transport, even aircraft.
People who own the machines will use them to enrich themselves and not care that there are now fewer consumers available to buy their products. People need clothing no matter what, so fewer consumers only hurts the manufacturers who aren't winning the race to the bottom. Plus it's the tragedy of the commons.
The people who find themselves unemployed won't blame the system. They will blame individuals and groups, like the manufacturers who replace them with robots or the immigrants who they think are stealing their jobs.
Of course the other group which may just put 98 of those 100 useless government workers (I mean lawn care specialists) out of a job
So fire anyone who could keep them honest, keep all the money for themselves and your lawn still won't look any better.
Maybe it's possible that there is some good number in between 2 and 100, and corporations aren't magically able to divine it any better than government can.
Also, if government does end up with a few too many people because it has really strong worker's rights, I'm actually okay with that because the pay tends to be below industry levels and their conditions set a benchmark to measure the private sector against.
In Europe people see the government as their agent, not some external force that they have no ability to influence. Politics isn't quite as fucked in Europe as it is in the US yet, although the UK is trying really really hard to get there.
Anyway, when you look objectively as European governments, or at least the more progressive ones and the EU, they tend to look out for individuals and protect them from corporations. Consumer law and human rights are much stronger than in the US, largely thanks to the EU and the progressive countries at the heart of it.
Trump did complain about it before being elected, but hasn't said much since.
In any case, it would be a false economy. A militarized Japan would only make the situation worse. The US isn't going to give us its position as close ally to South Korea, because it's really about China. If the situation escalated to a hot war, it would make Iraq and Afghanistan look cheap.
Not to mention that North Korea and China both have nuclear weapons, and in China's case they have enough to ensure the mutual destruction of the US and the capability to deliver them.
The only winning move is for both sides to stop waving their dicks at each other and go back to talking. Realistically the US will have to be the one that makes the move, either voluntarily or with pressure from China.
Even if it does what it claims to do, it doesn't fully protect you from the ME being exploited. It just prevents exploits against a running ME, but an attacker could still hide code in the ME itself via bogus firmware updates which gives them a powerful rootkit that is difficult to detect or remove.
Lifting the write enable pin on the EEPROM can prevent that.
I also worry that the remaining minimal ME code needed to boot the system could be exploited some how. Bad firmware in another device, bad configuration data...
Still, this is a valuable discovery and one which likely gives ordinary users an easy way to improve their security.
Food preparation robots are kind of hard... Maybe harder than a self-driving car.
Food tends to be soft, made of many irregularly shaped small parts that even humans find a challenge to handle, and requires some fairly good computer vision. Lidar won't help you evenly cover a pizza base.
$10 is way too much for a movie. Maybe $5 for a good one a few months after release, in 4k, mkv format.
Netflix is only twice that for as many movies and TV shows as I like for a month. Okay, it's streaming, but your DRM infested crap will surely commit suicide one day anyway, or I'll ditch Apple and it won't play on Kodi.
If you think even just one is bullshit, tell us which one it is so we can see if you are right. If you can't name even one, I have to assume you are just copy/pasting standard post-truth talking points.
Also, Wikileaks has a 100% proven record? I think the appropriate response is "LOL".
I agree that retractions should be better publicised. In some countries they are legally required to be as prominent as the original claim, e.g. a front page story results in a front page retraction in similar position, font size etc.
However, the point still stands. CNN does at least admit to their mistakes. And bias isn't fake news, it's bias, a different problem. We are talking about things that are factually untrue or at least extremely, deliberately misleading.
It's not that people go to Facebook specifically for news, is that they go there and see news on their timeline and then don't bother to check it against other sources.
Reputable sources of news. Like it or not, there is a hierarchy of trustworthiness, with random blogs and 4chan posts at the bottom and established, proven news organizations at the top. Of course the hierarchy isn't fixed, reputation can be gained or lost, but you can't seriously expect us to consider the word of a Reddit author or InfoWars rant to be as reliable as a dry BBC article.
There is another winning move. It's not an easy one to make and occasionally goes wrong, but it's not impossible.
Filter the unquestionably, demonstrably fake news. Forget all the questionable or biased stuff, just focus on the total bullshit that has no basis in reality. Pizzagate, Brietbart articles about churches on fire that photographic evidence incontrovertibly proves to be false, blog posts claiming that the Clintons murdered dozens of people, Euro myths that have been widely debunked since the 1990s.
Set the bar high. Require multiple reputable sources debunking the stories. Fake news is a hot topic, these days you won't have trouble finding them. And then don't ban the speech, just de-monetize it and put a note saying that reputable sources dispute it with links to their debunkings.
Even then, it will occasionally fail, but you can be sure that many reputable news sources will notice and make damn sure that the truth does get out.
If you plan to disagree with this, please include examples where this has been tried and it failed systematically.
In the UK streaming is better quality than broadcast TV. Broadcast HD streams are only 1440x1080 resolution, and the standard chosen only supports up to 30p as well. The compression is terrible too.
In comparison YouTube has better resolution and average bitrate, and Netflix is in another league.
It grew to a point where these people elected president who's a bit of an idiot, out of spite.
Maybe that's what they think, but the reality is they elected Trump because they have given up on truth. They voted for the guy who told them what they wanted to hear, the guy they were told to vote for by people pretending to be their peers. They were convinced that they knew best, with platitudes.
It was the same with Brexit. It took a while for western politics to adapt, but fortunately it did and most of Europe managed to avoid sliding into post-truth hell.
You mean, the same Trump whose first foreign visit was to Israel, and whose daughter is Jewish, is a Nazi sympathiser?
Symapthiser isn't the word I'd use. But he associated with them and fails to condemn them when given the opportunity, because he knows that distancing himself from them would damage his base. A lot of his support comes from the far right.
He's a businessman. He doesn't care who they are, he cares about winning. If their goals align with his, that's all he cares about.

Fair point. For some reason I had images of proper pizza restaurants.
Not watching adverts sometimes insulates you from what is mostly considered common knowledge.
When 'old what's her name' kicks off, the supreme court will be good for many decades.
So fuck democracy and having an independent, non-political judiciary, just as long as their views happen to align with yours.
Wow, someone was triggered.

The only times I've flown business class it has been at someone else's expense.
That's the problem - social media is both fake and incomplete information.
They call them "pizza", but they aren't really... You are right, I should have specified that robots can't make real human-style pizza.

How do you expect anyone to debate with you when you refuse to accept someone isn't the straw man you assumed they were?
Where did you get that quote from, it is it your original creation?
No, because they got tied of Hillary looking them in the eye and lying over and over and over again
So they voted for a guy who looks them in the eye and lies over and over and over again?

There are certainly some similarities, but what I mean is no-one is saying that is as bad as Hitler was right now. He's bad, just not that bad. Yet.
Hopefully it won't get much worse.
Blah blah blah which one specifically?

The NES Classic was sold in France, translated into French, and the SNES Classic is due for release there.
My guess would be that they couldn't be bothered to port the translation over to the North American software release.
