Automation has been freeing up more spare time for people since roughly 1800. The sky is yet to fall. Those who can't figure out what to do with their newest imcrements of spare time are welcome to use fentanyl or whatever as an exit from this cruel world. The rest of us have new things to do.
Robots just represent the latest batch of automated jobs.
The US has people dying because they can't afford basic necessities such as insulin - your welfare programs suck.
The problem with an all-public healthcare system is that it also has to cater to public bullshit. Your National Health Service has valiantly tried to get rid of its last few homeopathic hospitals, but even now there is still one left: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
If Ms. Occasional-Cortex were to nationalize American healthcare, California and Oregon would probably have some antivax hospitals to cater to the hippie mom and conspiracy theorist markets. And there would be no use of CRISPR anywhere in the system.
Ok but when a ditch digger could do 50x time ditches, did they get 50x the pay? That's my point.
Ditch diggers earned a lot more as backhoe operators, though nothing like 50x more. That differential between the new pay of all machine operators taken together plus profit to the backhoe manufacturer and the pay of all ditch diggers taken together represents the incremental productivity that the machine has gifted into the economy, to be shared by all.
There is probably some large, mob-owned trash business that is benefiting from this ruling. That's why the biggest line of business in the city is gangland shootings.
Probably easier to use classic PV panels and a separate electrolysis cell.
Especially in dry areas, because you could use wastewater as an input. The output would be more concentrated wastewater. In sunny humid places (FL, HI) you could use the direct process described in the article, and it would work better than in the rainy Netherlands.
Seconded. Look at the mess that mob rule in the energy sector got us into. If we allow "the public" to decide, Hollywood stars will lobby for bringing back smallpox and polio. They are "natural" after all, and giving in to monster diseases will be rebranded as, let's see now...vegan body management!
"Creating superior humans" would require being able to execute many gene edits at the same time. Let's start out by knocking out point mutation diseases like sickle-cell anemia and Tay-Sachs.
The carbon problem will be solved by people who stay in school, get themselves a solid STEM education, and manage to get energy and sequestration projects going in places where the student activists can't "deplatform" them.
The original New Deal, Roosevelt’s plan, included massive hydro projects that generations later are still the best renewable energy sources we have. It also summoned nuclear energy into being, the largest-scale carbon free source that we can still apply today.
The Green New Deal explicitly rejects both technologies, which is why it’s not going to save us any carbon. At best it will create some make-work jobs for wind turbine builders.
Seconded. If you want the country to become ‘woke’ on the carbon problem, then you might want to try not automatically rejecting every technology that might work at scale.
If carbon is as big a problem as climate researchers claim it is, we need to apply both approaches at the same time: emit less carbon, and sequester some of our earlier emissions. Only when the world stops emitting new carbon into the system can we stop sequestering.
Although undersea cables could offer shorter data paths and lower latency than even mid-orbit satellite, using our new low-cost access to orbit to set up a large constellation would be a valuable hedge against loss of cable access.
People who have oil-prince money to spend on international terror operations.
It's time we spent an afternoon turning the DPRK military and missile test facilities into slag. It's a fake country that has no more reason to exist than East Germany did.

Not created by modern belief in pseudoscience, but kept going and lobbied for by it.

If the existing monorail just went to the goddamned airport, about another mile away, people might actually ride it.

Careful, waving LASERs in the air is how you summon black helicopters.
It's an even better way of summoning regular helicopters, whereupon you're going to need a good lawyer.

In the US, it will turn into a debate between progress and Congress.

Eventually, but the tech isn't ready yet, so we might as well buy ourselves a bit more time to figure out how to deal with it.
Let's hope that this is the only motive for this moratorium.

He has long critized California's water management policies. It seems he's getting through to them now.
Don't worry. It won't take long for California Democrats to find a way to screw even this one up.
One more rainstorm, and we're going to start getting alligators.
honestly, this is not a cost of doing business. block access to EU countries. see what happens.
To the EU: Let them eat AltaVista!

He just had to do it. I'm a dictator Donnie made the completely authoritarian decision to ground them.
And had he not done so, he would be a corporate stooge endangering innocent life.
No.
Addis Ababa... subtropical Africa climate...
More relevantly, the altitude is 7700 ft. This narrows the safe takeoff envelope somewhat.
Pax? Is that the latest /. AC lingo?
It's the standard aviation industry term for passenger.

Here's an idea for starters: For each incoming call that has misrepresented caller ID information, you get $10 off of that month's phone bill.
And if this results in a negative phone bill, your phone company has to pay YOU - thousands and thousands of dollars every month, if necessary.
