I can easily pay my monthly bills on line in less than five minutes. To fill out checks and mail them is a slow process that may occupy an hour or two of my time. So in addition to saving stamps and stationary I also save a lot of time every month. Losses from on line bill pay and purchases over the years has been next to none at all. i purchased one pair of shoes that were a bit tight and they were inexpensive. i did not send them back as the cost of shipping and the cost of the shoes were way too close to each other.
Solving traffic issues is unlikely without regulating population size and location. We are experiencing a population bomb and drowning in over population. A fairly quiet town can become totally clogged if people locate in that town suddenly. The best solutions simply can not be applied. For example a building code might allow one bed for every three acres a home occupies. That would push people outside the city limits and reshape the very nature of a city. But doing that has the side effect of swallowing up more land outside the city in a dreadful expansion that consumes and destroys nature. So the very first thing about traffic control is to control human reproduction rates.
Make a comparison. The doves {usually left leaning} see great value in lifting everyone up and educating, healing and sheltering all people. The hawks on the other hand feel that if capitalists are unrestrained they will ruin many lives but make the rich better off. They feel that a nation that allows this can raise more wealth, build a much stronger military and capture the wealth of the world. So now we have youth scurrying about with inflated sense of self importance compared to former generations who had stronger social values. But keep in mind there are wonderful people and resources working in the mix. Wikipedia, Linux. Libra and Open Office, YouTube, Ted Talks,open education projects like Mathematica YouTube all have ferocious social value. These types of resources are world bending and shaping. And we are seeing medical diagnostic equipment that functions at a level never before reached by human. The transvaluation of values is a very tricky thing. Many may complain about pistols with two much power and too many bullets in their clips. But a cop forced to fight against violent criminals behind barricades will value that extra deadly pistol quite highly if he is the one holding it during the fight.
First many banks pay to open accounts so open an account at a bank that is paying those rewards, Every month simply transfer enough to pay your bills to your new PAY OUT ACCOUNTS. For example you can have an account just to pay your electric bill. Leave the required residual in the account so it is not closed. This way if the account is hijacked all you can lose is the electric bill payment. i also use PayPal a lot. So imagine that you set up ten accounts at banks offering sign on bonuses. Mine pay anywhere from $50 to $500 to open an account. Assuming your are all $50. reward accounts you will still quickly and easily earn $500 for a few minutes work. Meanwhile your funds earn interest in your regular account and you never, ever, pay bills from that account so you earn more interest. On most accounts with rewards you are free to change at the $90 day mark. So you can do this many times a year. Also you can earn referral fees for steering others to open accounts so work with a friend and refer each other frequently. Currently some people can actually earn a living simply opening and closing bank accounts.
The required durability of products will create situations with unexpected consequences. Many people have had a TV that worked fine after 15 years of use. But those old tube TVs used quite a bit of electricity. The newer sets give superior pictures and use very little electricity. So from the buyer's point of view as well as societies point of view what is the age point at which a TV should be forced out of service? How much destruction of nature is required to build a new set and what is the cost and effect of the electricity that the end user will be forced to pay. How huge an agency will it take to weigh the gains and losses involved in product durability and resolve failures with the buyers? How does one value a 20K Rolex against an eighty dollar Casio? The Casio will be far more durable and require far less maintenance. Check out the fees for cleaning and oiling a Rolex. Apply the same logic to cars. Do we really want a situation in which numerous cars are on the road after 50 years of use?
There are always plenty of people who simply crave power and one way to do so is to create situations where permission or approvals are required. Who knows how many hundreds of millions have been wasted fighting pornography with zero good results. now we will have courts tried up with cases in which the judge and jury debate whether a blow up sex toy looks too similar to a child. Is there even a shard of proof that suggests that rubber doll users re made more likely to molest children? For all we know using those blow up dolls may be enough to keep them from reaching out and actually harming a child. We need to think in terms of the cost of passing some laws and the positive consequences that such a law causes to exist.
Yes, human employment will be almost completely eliminated and lets do it faster! What these folks have not realized is that laws, beliefs, moral systems and entire economic systems must be reworked, replaced or eliminated. It is not an issue as long as resistance does not cause the cures to be applied too late. Businesses will be the only ones who are taxable and individuals will be paid by government and not expected to work. And yes, change is painful but this time you will no longer be a slave to earning enough money to do well. My prediction is that teachers will be the first to go. After all can't one eighth grade history teacher teach every kid in America over the net? Brick and mortar schools will only be needed by families that have failed where there is not a parent to make certain the kid stays at the computer. Single parents will need traditional schools but other parents will not. Social strife can be a real issue. Do you want to pay for school buildings simply because some people can't maintain a marriage?
I can't find any discarded nuclear power plants so I guess in a way the article is correct. However just how toxic and just how long does the material keep killing? Can it be dealt with? Nuclear looses big time.
If one wants to lose then simply fight progress. Just why would one want to protect the jobs of delivery drivers? How about all those jobs that we lost making buggy whips?
We all know that it is the demon saxophone that has lured our young women into whoring, drug addiction and promiscuity. And now they try to blame all the woes of society upon laptops. It is just the devil trying to get you to ignore the evil saxophones. That siren voice just compels listeners into the satanic realms. Maybe these people are using laptops to spread the evil influence of saxophones. I must run now i have some witches that must be burned.
We already have some very poor tomatoes due to genetic alteration. They may do many things but they don't eat well. Apples are now a disaster. I haven't had a decent apple in years. Some are almost like biting into wood. Few have decent flavor. It is now at the point that I don't buy apples as they simply are great looking but lousy eating. The trouble seems to be that the crops are altered to suit production but not altered to enhance enjoyment. Go in a grocery store and try to find a really tart apple. Good luck.
The law tends to protect doctors from simple mistakes. And with AI I think the same would be true. If the software was diligently created and is known as a good product there is no expectation of perfection. The same is true for your surgeon. He can do great harm. But as long as he was sober, in a proper state of mind, and diligent in trying to render aid the law will not tend to land on him like a bag of bricks. Did the doctor or software do what other doctors or AI programs would have done? Is the bad outcome simply a matter of unusual conditions that do not diagnose easily? Juries know full well that a big settlement means their own individual health care prices will rise. A jury needs to feel rage in order to give a high award. If that doctor was in the strip club until 4 AM and drank a huge bottle of champaign and staggered into the operating room with no sleep and still half drunk then a jury very well may cut the string and let the red balloon fly.
Clean renewable energy is needed big time. And we need to get it up and running faster than we are now. Sadly Trump pulling stunts like allowing more coal pollution will slow down clean energy growth. If Trump had outlawed coal the push for clean energy production would have sped up.
The second part of the issue is doubling up on the profits of clean energy by making certain that the land used by energy plants also generates other income. Surely rows of mirrors could have fish ponds running along the rows so that fish farming could add to the value of the land use. Or maybe there is some crop that could thrive between the rows of mirrors. Sweet potatoes seem to be able to grow well under many circumstances. Even a little bit of land can offer a large sweet potato crop. Even a windmill could have a large rental apartment at its base. One way or another there has to be a way to make investment in renewable power more attractive for investors.
If you are driving a car and side swiped and semi out of control your instinct is to save your life. You usually do not have a tiny moment to plan where or how it ends. It has to be unusually rare to have a driver in a position to decide whether he will avoid kids and thus kill himself or hit the kids where they are the least concentrated and thus save himself or just not give a hoot about the kids and look for the most cushy spot to crash. Now if you are working on a computer program that would make such a decision for an autonomous vehicle it might look drastic when you write it. But really it is only an issue because it can be written down ad studied. There are so many variables in such a situation that humans can not function well at all and computers remain deprived of information i such a case as well. For example how able are these kids to jump clear of the on coming vehicle. Are the kids aware or are they in a childish state of mind? At any rate I suppose what I am trying to point out that maybe things like ethics and morals should not be part of a process of evaluation of software. Should Henry Ford be punished for his destruction of the horse related industries and the millions that worked in those industries. Was building a car a moral act? It is endless.
After spending hours each day studying the Trump nightmare, I now wonder if a real criminal conviction will put Trump in prison. It is hard to look into anything Trump has touched and not find serious criminal activity. The obstruction of justice charge alone is sufficient to demand a prison sentence as are his numerous violations of the Foreign Powers Corruption Act. But we all pretty much know that after being tossed out of office and fined there will be no prison time as the sick truth is that we never have equal justice for all. At this point numerous Trump properties have been placed in the names of family members. I suggest that all Trump's assets, including those transferred be seized and frozen so that the numerous crimes and injuries can be taken from those funds. Besides, if he spends the rest of his life in prison he won't need money anyway.
Opera is a great browser. Chrome is also wonderful as is Firefox. Frankly I prefer Firefox with one serious complaint. Right now my Firefox browser will not play sound on You Tube or video or sound on Netflix. That was not an issue until the latest update. Chrome has also gone through releases that would not run NetFlix. I am not aware of how Opera is doing with Netflix lately. I will say that Netflix is a big enough deal that any browser should be able to run it perfectly with zero tweaking.
And here we have an idiot as president that wants to encourage burning coal. Yes, soot and air pollution murder people and whether it is from diesel, gasoline or coal it is nothing more than murder. But the right wing goes even further. Once they give a person heart disease or cancer from burning coal they also don't want them to have medical care. They excuse all this nonsense as a monetary issue. But nobody counts the costs associated with heart or lung cripples and the long term disabilities that eat up the national budget. One sick person can run up millions in public expenses.
He needs to take a look at what it was like at the local telephone company back in 1910. Lines of women plugging in cords to complete each call with supervisors using roller skates to assist operators on those long lines of benches now replaced by less than one worker for hundreds of calls is what he would see. He could also walk into a factory and see how many machine operations it took to make a part and how many workers were involved and then look at a modern multi axis water cutter machining parts without a human involved at all. Or he could look at farms in 1910 and see the hundreds of workers in the fields now totally obsolete and even with robotic farm tractors working without an operator. He mentions hospitals but fails to know that all kinds of signals go from the patient electronically to a room with computers that watch numerous patients with only one or two attendants creating a situation where less nurses are on the floors. And we are only seeing the tip of a huge iceberg which is coming at us at high speed.
In the US if we tracked what people spend we would find that many spend more than they possibly can explain and have some sort of tax avoidance or crime going on. if spending data is tracked and weighed against earnings reported as well as expenses on credit cards and loans we will have to find a way to deal with tens of millions of criminals. For example, there are people who make a living burglarizing automobiles. They sell what they steal and have no way at all to account for how they get by in life. With automated payments being the exclusive way to purchase these folks can be rounded up rather quickly. It also means that those that purchase stolen goods can also be caught quite easily. My personal guess is that more than half of adult Americans have some illegal activities going on from time to time. Can you imagine an illegal bookmaker trying to explain his income? Can you imagine the guy that makes illegal bets with that bookie trying to explain where his money went or came from? How about the girls in the strip clubs? Do you think they report most of their income? So just how can they explain their purchasing habits? You can not spend money you do not have. Where did the money come from?
But the best question is can America survive without all the crime that goes on? Can we afford to catch, process and punish all the criminals? Can you imagine the horrors when some congregations learn exactly what their minister spends and earns? Can wives live with the strange transfers of money that the husbands spend on call girls or massage parlors? Can men stay married if they really can't cheat? Honesty might be viewed as an interesting problem.
There is no safety in current nuclear plants. When incidents occur large areas are effected. That is not acceptable risk as a real clean up and restore to pre incident status is not possible. Maybe one day we can have nuclear power that really is safe but it is not at hand at this time. Coal burning also clearly causes heart and lung deaths and remains unacceptable as an energy source.
Motorcycles and bicycles would have to be banned. You can build an automated car that coordinates with traffic and maintains exactly 36 mph to reach an intersection at a moment it can pass through. But can you put all of that on a motorcycle without ruining it? Traffic at a right angle would also pass quite close to you and that would unnerve almost any motorcyclist and probably a bunch of car drivers as well. And then we come to the bicycles. Not only would mounting the gear be a disaster on a bicycle but at best the bicycle could be forced to slow down but no way to make it speed up. Obviously eliminating motorcycles and bicycles would cause major social unrest. And even positive things can have unseen issues. Obviously self driving cars would cure the drunk driving issue. But fear of loss of a driver's license may be the only reason some people stay sober and counties depend upon the huge fines levied for driving drunk and so do auto insurance companies. All in all, the idea of an automated intersection works well with robots in a warehouse but with humans on roads the social disruption would be far too great.
Trump knows he is in deep trouble and everyone knows it. We have an extremely corrupt president. One of the latest scandals is Jared's sister offering green cards to foreigners willing to make a $500,000 investment. Jared is about to have major legal issues as well under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as is Trump. There are so many violations by Trump that we could create a whole new criminal agency to prosecute a long list of crimes involving Trump. It seems that one new violation a day is being unearthed. We no longer live in the USA. Currently we are the US Banana Republic.
Boards of directors in condominiums seem to know no bounds at all and overstep and make rules they are not entitled to make. Apparently Austrian courts suffer from the same problem. Do they think they have a right to define acceptable speech in all other nations? Guess what ! I don't know a single American that gives a fig about laws in Austria. I wonder how they would react if we insisted that they obey our speech laws. Could they tolerate American pornography? Would they declare that the idiotic American Nazi party must be banned from the net?
