The issue is not the degree of automation in any absolute sense, but whether or not automation is displacing jobs faster than the labour market can adjust. It's a valid question - there's no reason to think that this iteration of automation will be different than past ones, but also no reason to think it won't.
Whether a bus has a driver or not... may lower the bus fare some, but in the scheme of operating a bus the driver pay isn't going to change things more drastically than, say, improvements in fuel efficiency.
Not so. Inflated driver wages account for significant fraction (fifth or quarter) of the price of public transportation.
They mean used to kill someone on purpose, which is obvious. A more interesting question is, will the "Internet of things" kill someone deliberately or accidentally first? (Sadly it probably already has on both counts.)
This should be a familiar tactic to a Slashdot readership, or anyone with the misfortune to buy from Microsoft or Oracle.
Make the first edition terrible, on purpose. Then sell newer versions where you fix the defects you intentionally created in the original. Once it's optimal, stop supporting it.
True Scotsmen love to blip their throttle, shift gears manually, control the clutch, smell the petrol fumes, feel the acceletration (sic), control the cornering, and at the end of the drive, be totally satisfied that the driver alone was able to control the car with skill and experience.

But wait! To form the possessive in English, we add 's to the end of the noun.
"It" is not a noun.
The Internet of Things really *is* the next big buzzword.
In real life, there's nothing impressive or even interesting about it, but....
Actually, no, even as a slogan it's already got old.
Iran, like Cuba, decided to stop being treated like a colony.
That's so challenging to the American world view that they actually become hysterical.
It uses a different technology with the same phone line.
Why are medallions even sold as an asset... It just creates a vehicle for private rent-seeking and speculation.
At first I didn't realize your question was purely rhetorical.

If they worship anything, it's a book, and generally the most negative, divisive, and barbaric parts of that book.
It depends how far behind.
(Though I would guess the closer the better from a diagnostic imaging perspective.)

The one who has less money at the end.
Teaching her Eclipse sounds more like torture to me.

If it's chemically diamond, maybe call it diamond?
Completely untrue.
You've just misunderstood whose interests the regulators are there to protect.
Superstition comes from the instinctive default assumption that unexplained things are animate things out to get you.
The false positives are a nuisance, but living on the savanna without modern science it was sometimes the safe assumption.
Maybe figuring out why will be easier if we have an idea about who.
