There won;t be one "Robot Repairman" created for each job lost to automation, not to mention it's a highly technical skill, so there will be MASSIVE unemployment as the automation becomes more widespread. And with college education costs sky-rocketing and beyond the reach of most, not to mention the total retraining of older workers who still need a source of income, this is nothing but a disaster in the making.
The "Star Trek" dystopia where "people only work if they want to and can do what ever they want to pursue" is NOWHERE near on the horizon....
It's a zone of "Let's start limiting the power of the government like the Founding Fathers intended because you guys have overstepped your bounds a million-fold!"
"As it turns out, I have personal experience in this area. Also, I have scientific training and expertise in the field of metabolism. Do yourself a favor and learn a bit more instead of reinforcing ignorance and prejudice."
No, there are some kids in legitimate need of help, but barring evidence of that, CPS needs to be severely neutered, but it can serve a purpose if it's powers are properly limited.
ANd the deadliest threat in Austrailia....AUSTRAILIANS!!!! (just kidding, I love you aussies, you're good folk, but your government is as messed up as ours)

Considering the government doesn't represent "the people", only the rich who buy the politicians, don't hold your breath waiting for this...
Does farm equipment need these "protected computers" anyway?
Just a license to print money for the manufacturer...
Or just grow up and join the future.
Used all my mod points yesterday, elsewise you'd get them for upvotes
I thought Texas thought they were a bunch of tough guys, but instead they suspend a kid for something that's make believe?
Fucking morons.
Or it will be like the "How easy is it to steal credit card numbers" segment that sponsors forced them to cut from the show...

This.
Caution to stay off the roads, yes.
BAN it?
No, too far , which seems to be the lowest setting our american governments (city, state, and federal) can manage anymore....
Some cops could (an DO) horrible things abusing their power. Guess they should all be fired huh?
Aw, you cops don't like it when we apply your "rules" to you, do you?
They need to be recorded on camera more than ordinary citizens do.
You want to spy on us in secret, welcome to the same fucking microscope assholes, hope you enjoy it!

Just enough already.
The OS for a smartphone/tablet and a desktop/laptop should NOT ever be the same. Especially not the UI, stop trying to make them the same.

This is the internet, are you dreaming?
No argument on that, Well written post.
If you think violence is acceptable response to words, you (and society) is better off if you kill yourself
Yawn, nice try. You fight words with words, not physical violence.
No, there are some kids in legitimate need of help, but barring evidence of that, CPS needs to be severely neutered, but it can serve a purpose if it's powers are properly limited.
I believe in reality, what can be seen, observed, PROVEN.
You loonies on the other hand...

Nice little setup, gets the parents the aid of extra pairs of eyes to see if the child can handle a simple responsibility.
No, jokes are funny.
America is just plain sad.
