  1. Metal in less environmentally friendly on planes. on Europe Plans Ban on Plastic Cutlery, Straws and More (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Some airlines have metal in Economy. Swiss, for example.
    But transporting metal cutlery actually consumes more oil than the oil needed for making and transporting the plastic one.
    -> Metal in less environmentally friendly on planes.

    Bullshit.
    Like, to kill, you need a weapon.
    Give weapons to people, they won't kill, that doesn't work.
    It's simply in the human nature to kill, so if you give humans an easy way to kill, there'll be more deaths.
    As simple as that.

    >>The U.S., though, in many ways is a special case. Not only does it have more guns than any other nation on the planet, but it also has far more gun deaths than any other developed nation — six times the homicide rate of neighboring Canada, more than seven times as many as Sweden, and 16 times as many as Germany [source: Lopez].

    >> But one recent study suggests that stricter state gun laws do make a difference. In a study published in the May 13, 2013 issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers concluded that states with the most firearm legislation have the lowest rates of firearm-associated deaths, as well as the lowest rates of both murders and suicides with guns. The quarter of states with the strictest laws had 6.64 fewer deaths per 100,000 inhabitants than the quarter with the least regulation [source: Fleegler, et al.]

    >> A 2013 UN study came to a similar finding. "While the specific relationship between firearm availability and homicide is complex, it appears that a vicious circle connects firearm availability and higher homicide levels," it concluded.

    >> Computers aren't magic. They have to be programmed.
    >Tsk, why are you here? This is the wrong mindset!

    No, it's not the wrong mindset.
    For what is called "AI" today, which is more an evolutive algorythm, the computer is litterally programmed to learn by trial and error.
    The problem is, you'll still have to teach him what's good or not.
    There are two kinds, either real world, where you act and make mistakes on a real system,
    or the simulated approach, where you have to have an accurate working model of your system, in a simulation.
    In both cases, you'll have to feed all the relevant input data, and you have to put a noting system which is the "why" part.
    Inacuracies, or incompleteness in one of those two human selected inputs, and it only does garbage.
