Ultimately, there is a limit imposed by physical laws, but we don't ban anyone from using the term unlimited due to such restrictions. Similarly, in this context, the amount of data transferred is only limited by speed, and not by any inherent limit in the amount itself. The term is perfectly fine for those who understand English.
I have an alternate prediction: people will find things to do that other people will want done. That is the basis of every economy in history, and it's not going to change because a robot can serve me pizza.
I currently live in Israel, and it's the same here. My salary has deductions for pension, health care and disability. I doubt Israel is unique on this side of the world. Where else could the money come from?
It's even better. The largest percentage of income is spent on room (rent or mortgage). Living with someone else gives you each an effective increase of half that cost. As other costs, such as utilities, increase at a marginal rate with additional people, those costs will also effectively decrease. So two people together will have more money to spend than either would on their own.
Unless all participants are grouped together geographically, your experiment will be invalid. For example, one criticism is that UBI will lead to price inflation. You can't measure that when the number of participants in the experiment is dwarfed by the rest of the population several (dozens or hundred) times over.
It's also illogical to state that just because B is not A, which failed, that B will not fail. They can both fail, even if they are not the same thing, or fail for the same reason.
The purpose of learning a foreign language in HS is not to become fluent. It's to expand ones thinking and understanding. As we know from 1984, language shapes the way we think, and even what we can think about. Exposure to other languages also brings exposure to other cultures and other perspectives.
Cultural knowledge is useful IF you ever get to travel or you intend to spend years studying / working in a particular place.
This attitude lies at the heart of Jingoism. Understanding other cultures is useful if one wishes to not be a bigoted shit-wad. When you decide it's unimportant, you get David Duke or Donald Trump.
You seem to have a poor understanding of programming.
1) Hiding implementation, including algorithm selection, is a large part of what objects are for. 2) It's possible to write any traversal algorithm using loops, without any recursion.
Become a cardiologist and then form an opinion. You're entitled to your opinion, but since you pulled it out of your ass, it doesn't account for much. Kinda stinky, too.
You are completely ignorant. Developers have been shipping fat binaries on iOS for years. Even before the 5s added 64bit support. Virtually every iOS ships with three slices today: armv7, armv7s and arm64.
Ah. The old "AI is whatever a computer can't do" argument. It's laughably sad that you can even think that way. Of course, it may be too much of an assumption that you can even think.
Yep. Gwehir's argument is a twist on the God of the Gaps argument. He essentially defines intelligence as "that which a computer can't be programmed to do". So whenever a computer is programmed to do something new, he simply claims that activity does not require intelligence.
Define "smarter" in a way that applies to AI. There is not a single AI that has determined its own goals. You seem like an ignorant, illogical and stupid person. Perhaps you should be worried about being replaced by a tool, but us humans don't have that worry.

It's a time machine, too?
You provided evidence for the position you argued against. The comment you replied to isn't the stupid one.

Surely they should be called Paulicans, no?
They do. You just have to get over the fact that your idea of an obligation in no way influences the law.

Most of those you listed are things an employee pays for from their gross income. At least in the places in the US with which I am familiar.

If you think Apple is on the evil side, your gauge must have Stalin on the good side. I wouldn't trust your gauge.
They didn't open source CUPS; they simply didn't close it after they bought it.
Being in a different phase may explain why it's more expensive, but doesn't in any way contradict the assertion that it is so.
Going paperless is extremely expensive. Paper would have to cost more than gold for the same weight.

Please explain how AI will pose an existential threat to humans. There is no logical path between improved AI and ending human existence.
Right. Real professionals all have x-ray vision, so that the wiring through the walls and floors can be easily inspected.
