It's true that when the traffic reaches a certain density, the only way forward is to put in mass transit, and in the largest cities this has to be a subway. But currently, there is a culture of drivers and a parallel culture of transit riders, even in cities with a fairly good transit system.
What Silicon Valley can help with is integrating the new generation of Uber/Lyft services with mass transit into one app that uses a transit link to get through the most crowded parts of a city and ridesharing to handle the fanout to every address. This will, rather than just automating the gridlock, lead to significantly less car traffic, especially as cars go automated in years to come.
Will cities go along, or will they vainly try to fight the trend, as the medallion cab drivers did?
If you think that the authorities are hexing your field communications, bring in some radio hams with mobile gear to patch your calls through. Hams live for opportunities like this, and police are clueless about the tech they use.
"If you're not man enough to look the enemy in the eyes while killing him, you're... American. The term is becoming synonymous with coward, and I'm ashamed."
The objective of war is not to look "man enough" but to kill sufficiently large numbers of enemy that he will no longer be inclined to attack you.
You should be able to launch an app that says 'plugging in to charge now' and having it bing you at Starbucks when the charge reaches, say, 95%. It would not be difficult to stipulate that all charging stations be WiFi equipped to support this.
Having failed to force the sun to shine at night and the wind to blow constantly all the time, the German legal system is trying to force people to like a vast swarm of insurgents who arrived without visas and who are getting away with Allah knows what.
The vast majority of the 'roads' in the study are the little two-laners that twine everywhere, but have no effect on ecosystems other than to limit the spread of wildfires. An ecosystem is disturbed when a major, fenced-off highway carries a lot of traffic, and as the article admits the primary impact is the human population the road brings, rather than the road itself.. Around here the perennial debate is, do we fence off the rural Interstate as the construction standard specifies or do we let elk and coyotes roam freely across it, accepting that a few will be killed?
If Vitamin D is a culprit, then we should see more autism in places like the UK, which are historically deficient in sunlight. Furthermore, this correlation should be strongest in specific locales where a modern supplemented diet does not predominate.
"Overpopulation can be dealt with by moving people to other planets"
Or, we could just gradually lower our fertility rate as life extension catches on. This normally takes place anyway when an agrarian society industrializes and the five children per family become two.
even the most hardcore anti-nuclear people wouldn't generally have a problem knowing that there's a multi-kilometer thick radiation shield in place.
That's because those dumbasses believe that all the Earth's fissioning material is buried miles below the crust, rather than being distributed through it, including places where a lot of people live: http://ecolo.org/documents/doc...
Why do people insist on calling those thing renewable? How exactly do you renew sun or earh?
A renewable process is any process that does not use up external inputs of some fuel. Geothermal energy is renewable nuclear, in the same way that a dam is renewable solar.
'Muricans are anti-science idiots who deny the existence of volcanoes, which is why they don't live directly on top of one that can supply them with heat and lava.
Sadly, you're right: http://www.hawaiibusiness.com/... And the main argument the opposition has is not the occasional release of gas pockets while drilling, but that geothermal energy angers the volcano god.
"Think about the biggest 'disadvantage' of having a squishy penis: Men under stress don't get a hard-on and thus can't reproduce. This could've emphasized and benefited populations with lesser stress and more room to develop higher skillsets to surpass a potential human branch with real boner."
You, ahem, nailed, a possible reason for 'idiocracy' in the long run: husbands with demanding, high-stress jobs getting outcompeted in the bedroom by the lackadaisical pool guy or barista.
"penis bone length was longer in males that engaged in what he called "prolonged intromission.""
Humans have selected for monogamy with a higher level of sexual enjoyment than any other species because of our extremely long maturation time, with its need to keep couples together for the twenty years it takes to bring offspring to maturity. If a baculum were to help with this, we would still have one.
No, you're a user who is trading off a known amount - the amount being what you put into unencrypted Evernote - of privacy in return for free use of software.
But then what about the methane from all those exploding heads? That alone would make California and parts of the East Coast uninhabitable.
Fortunately China exists, and is not only building AP-1000 current best technology reactors, but is doing simultaneous development on several of those advanced designs that we originated back in the American Science Era but never developed. https://www.technologyreview.c...
"As such, I detest self-checkout because as a customer I should not be expected to perform employee's duties without compensation.'
Take the lead in solving that problem by always including beer or produce in your self-checkout. Then an employee will have to come over and help you anyway.
Except that (a) right-to-try laws don't apply to quack medications. They just give terminal patients early access to compounds that are already in the FDA pipeline and which have passed Stage I toxicity. As for point (b) I suppose so, and more power to pharma on this point. We need to take a little more risk if we want to bring new cures to market faster.
It's called the Evidence Based Medicine movement, but what it really promotes is taking MDs out of the loop in medical decision making and replacing their input with standardized decisions from bureaucrats. It's the medical equivalent of the precautionary principle, and if adopted will assure that our healthcare falls even farther behind Europe and Asia.

...But they insist that nature provide them the high-quality cellphone reception that Mother Nature has bestowed on them since primordial times.
I'm quite sure US&Russia will veto that. Especially US.
No, we'll just ignore it.

Kudos to Tesla for doing this, but this is not a brand-specific problem. What about all those electric econoboxes out there?

"There was a huge fight about three years ago when the then Labor government's Senator Conroy tried to ram through internet censorship in Australia."
Is the Labor Party actually more in the corporate pocket that the conservative party?
Remember when US conservatives thought of Australia as 'America made better?'

"I'd love a solution that could work on an Apple phone..."
The aforementioned Notes app. You can sync the phone app data, should you use the dreaded Cloud, with Notes on your other Apple devices and computers.

When all common folk ride fleet cars operated by companies like Uber everywhere they go, the very rich will be the only people to still own cars.
