OK, so what can a RISK-V chip do for me than they typical Intel or AMD chip can't do? Is it faster or stronger? Does it use less power? Is there a truck load of superior software cheap or free that runs on RISC-V? I like new stuff but there has to be some advantage in using it to make it a consideration.
The UAE will have to be totally evacuated by 2025 by current estimates as it will get quite a bit hotter. In fact it will be too hot for human habitation. Hauling water is simply not an answer. Perhaps they could create some huge spray machines to mist large volumes of ocean water into the air in hope of cloud formation and a dropping of temperature near the ground level. The entire area of northern Africa will probably try to migrate to Europe. The wars that this will cause in some cases have already begun.
It's a wonderful technology but how in the world could it be contained? The IRS would love to track spending of people as sometimes they spend a lot more than they claim they earn. Health insurance companies would crave that data as would life insurance companies. And a man might have real problem explaining to his wife why he buys condoms when he never uses them at home. Law enforcement might take a keen interest in the amount of alcohol you use and compare that to your gasoline purchases. And your doctor or hospital might want a hard look at your food buying habits as well. So what percentage of the public wants to be that transparent?
California has pollution issues beyond what most states suffer. The real message probably is please leave California as we have air quality issues and rocket exhaust is nasty stuff. Nevada might be a great spot to launch such missiles. In Nevada if a missile screws up the chances are it won't hit a populated area.
I just reached a new deal with Comcast. The prices for my services were way out of control. it pays to call them every few months to see if new deals or bundles are available. It saved me a fortune.
The very reason the US has supported Israel is that we want stability in the region. But climate change is causing economic turmoil in the Arab regions and the violence is being whipped up by the poverty caused by failed crops and the like due to climate change. It is now expected that the Arab emirates will have to be totally evacuated in the next eight years as the heat will go past the survival point in those nations. Can you imagine the degree of wealth in Dubai and all of the people evacuating as daily temperatures pass 125 degrees F.? How will Europe react to the super massive immigration that is certain to occur. Essentially all of Africa that is north of the equator will head for Europe.
The US had best be well in front in Quantum computing. The advantage gained by a foreign power may be too great to overcome if we allow them to get a bit ahead of us.
Florida requires convicts to pay for their jail or prison time. They make parole conditional upon those payments. They extend paroles until the bill is paid. In the end it is the same issue as an inmate on bail needing to hire a very expensive lawyer. A few new crimes will raise the cash to hire that lawyer. Now the inmates may need to commit crimes to make their parole payments. It is another half baked, right wing policy. And by the way you might now want the medical care that some Florida inmates receive. One of our local jails seems to be filled with people with serious medical issues. You can simply look at the inmate and see that some awful medical issue is at work.
The coming age of automation need not have tragic side effects if our political system is revamped to encourage and support both automation as well as the unemployed. If we do not prepare all hell will break lose. That means things have to change right now and yet we have an administration dedicated to going backwards in social policies. The right wing is building the road to hell for all of us.
It may take some proctors to get the kids to eat their lunches. We can't assume that the kids are not eating due to the food served. Being skinny is a big thing with young kids these days and some simply may not want to appear to be of an eating type of personality. Schools have also cut back on exercise for kids and that may well be causing them to be picky about eating. But the best policy is to serve what highly educated professional nutritionists recommend. I have seen US government mini pizzas served in schools that i would not feed to a dog. If a kid liked those cheap junk pizzas he should be sent to a mental health facility.
Yes we are seeing a huge change that will require us to revamp our entire social and economic systems which will cause drama and unrest but the worst thing in the world is to try to make it fit into an old fashioned world model. That is the path to disaster. Now the game has changed. Try to build and export a product while taxing your robots and automation and you will fall flat on your face as other nations will not tax their machines at all. Resistance is futile is no longer a joke. The robots are coming on fast and strong. Think what it will do to the American buyer. Think for a moment about machines that can build a $15,000 dollar home that is superior to a $100,000 dollar home. Why force the buyer to waste $85,000 dollars. How about a boat that can be well built quickly by machines? How about a new car that did not need humans in the factory? How about your food being picked by machines, driven by machines to your door at half the cost you currently pay for groceries. How about a dental robot that can do $5,000 worth of dental work for you for $100 and do it better than a human dentist? Anything that causes the cost of robotics and automation to rise will do huge harm in so many ways that we can't begin to understand it. Traditional beliefs and practices may be our worst enemy.
Yes AI can rapidly replace human employment but only if society adapts so that massive rebellion and economic collapse do not occur. Those that do not work must be supplied by a real income and not a bare bones income. If they have no income they can not purchase and the potential market ceases to exist thus defeating automation and A I completely. So we will have to find a way to pay people not to work that the public can accept as a requirement of a great new system. Imagine how you would feel if your neighbor had no reason to want to work while your job was not yet replaced and you had to work seven years longer than your neighbor. You can imagine the conflicts in shifting to a new system as well as a new economic and even a new moral system.
In many cities not only are the streets not designed but everything about the city seems as if no intelligence at all was every applied to designing much of anything. What we really see in cities is an elderly quagmire to which additions upon additions are heaped into the web creating an ever worse situation. Whether it is a tiny box of candy or a huge new sofa it is overwhelmingly obvious that one would need space for deliveries to be accommodated even when a horse drawn wagon arrived with that sofa. The sins of local planners will be visited upon their children even for ten or more generations. So for apartment houses let drones deliver to the roofs or courtyards and for homes let a flag pole like platform be built that has a feature for lowering the received package down to ground level. But really, the major answer is to destruct our older cities, lay out new plans and start over. Just imagine how many new jobs we could create if we leveled Brooklyn and redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up, and how much more sane the place could be. Then there is Chicago or Baltimore or any number of places just begging to be plowed down and redone.
The lying bag of fat we call Trump is an outrage. We need far more protection of the rivers and oceans than we have ever had before. We need to totally get rid of coal and we need to reduce the use of oil and gasoline as well. Climate change is behind quite a few of the wars in the Arab regions and we are already paying a dreadful price for past and current pollution. What we do not need is a sleeze bag trying to destroy conservation efforts.
Nothing breeds poor work or lack of loyalty more than cheap wage increases. A smart company will keep its critical workers during hard times even if that means they simply read books or even watch TV for months at a time because when you need them you will really need them and find them shockingly hard to replace. If you have a group of 30 workers you will find that two or three really carry the load.
From the top does there exist hard evidence that only certain types of people, or races or age groups will be hired or is that simply an assumption? If I outsource blue jeans to a company in Burma am I under legal compulsion to be certain that they do not race or age discriminate? Is age or race discrimination legal in Burma? Can these employees find enough money to pay for that expensive and probably long lasting law suit? Is the outsourcing to a foreign corporation or an extension of the university. I would not want my money squandered in such a pursuit.
As long as there have been creatures that we would call human they surely showed up all over the world rather quickly. Whether it is a deliberate migration, a sort of automatic migration while looking for more food, or people trying to keep from drowning by hanging on to a floating log, people simply spread out and tend to get everywhere. I do wonder how many times a migration turned out to be stopping in a more miserable place than the place from which they started.
Surely there is some down and dirty fast solution to get her money into her hands. A court appointed guardian or social worker could receive, convert to cash and put her money in hand. And the bank should easily be able to upgrade that software in a matter of hours, not days.
It is very wise to anticipate the need and establish and test it before it must become a mainstream standard. There are people who feel they are safe who will in no way be safe from unemployment in the very near future. The Boy Scout motto "Be prepared" is a wise way to live.
At least he sees the freight train coming straight down the tracks at us. However the suffering part can be highly moderated. If we prepare with the mental and legal and political chaos in advance there should be little suffering and a great deal of joy. It requires a new mind set for us. Obviously social systems will have to support those put out of work. There is zero choice in that. so we have to teach people that their turn to be unemployed is coming and they are waiting in line for their turn. That is in order to prevent resentment of those who are first receiving government pay checks. Sales taxes and business taxes will have to be raised to a point at which all are well supported. That means that we must divorce self worth from earning abilities and that will require quite an educational effort. Right now we see a type of hypnoses of young males with automobiles being at the very front of their desires, even though those desires are probably in opposition to their best interests. More adult types of people may suffer a similar hypnosis over employment or earning status. Refocusing their emotions will be quite a task.
Hotel owners form an organization and act as if they are some sort of authority, gaining political power and maybe some supported legislation. Palms are greased. So now a new thing comes along and the pseudo established authority tries to hold them down. So now the answer is to disestablish any hint of authority or legitimacy of hotel industry associations.
This is like the war against Tesla. Auto dealerships join in lock step to crush Tesla as Tesla simply has no need at all to establish dealerships. They have designed their vehicles to be repairable by any garage thus no need for dealers and they market their cars without any need for dealerships as well. The simple truth is that any car manufacturer could also design their vehicles with programs that would eliminate the need for dealerships but the corrupt systems tend to stay in place as people almost always resist change.
Higher state no, different state yes ! Yes chemicals can cause all kinds of brain activity. To suggest that they are higher is foolish. A man who drops acid and jumps out an eighth story window thing he is a sea gull and can fly is not in a higher state of consciousness. He is in a scrambled state full of nonsense and error.
In order to matter the degree to which an idea is put to use must be considered. The fabulous idea of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" may be super important but it certainly has not been widely accepted or implemented. Just as we have very ignorant and greedy forces trying to keep things the same or turn back the clock to another era the French had a mater class that resisted like crazy the idea of liberty, equality and fraternity. The way the idea grew a bit was by slaughtering the ruling class. England and the US were similar. For out ancestors getting out of Europe was not all that far from the 1970 era when people tuned in, turned on and dropped out. How did one drop out of Ireland, Italy, Germany or Hungary? It was simple that ran for the New World.

Why should anyone be fined for telling the truth? Apparently CHUMP could be renamed the "Yellow Gobbler".
