America is a melting pot from everywhere. If Germany was so good, why didn't the scientists stay there and build a rocket there. Probably because they didn't have the money to put into space exploration as they were still paying for war crimes, and rebuilding their country.
They DID build a rocket there. Many. If it hadn't been for material shortages, they would have been able to not just produce more, but also ballistic missile subs. Imagine a few of those going up the St. Lawrence seaway to keep company with the U-boats that were already there.
Yep. I've been tempted to jump on their hoods to absorb the impact rather than dodge them - in part because trying to dodge them means you're more likely to end up under their wheels. Give them a good dent. With enough winter clothing, should come out of it more or less okay.
Being "developed on paper" is just another way of saying it wasn't developed at all. I could say I have a time machine developed on paper, doesn't mean I've actually developed a time machine.
Actually, the correct headline would be "Tech is bullshit." The scramble to over-hype and monetize and get rich quick has ruined it.
One good example is the internet. Overall, it has been a net loss for humanity. Ignoring the fact that social media is turning everyone into anti-social bubble-heads living in their little "safe zones", just look at the failure of Arab Spring, which was touted as an example of how the internet would liberate people. The total of dead and displaced is in the millions, and threatens to bring down the EU.
And that's just one example. Look, you'll find more. If I had a time machine and could go back in time to keep one person from being borm, it wouldn't be Hitler - it would be Tim Berniers-Lee. Ultimately, the death toll from a destablized Europe is going to be much higher. Neither Hitler nor Stalin had nukes, and the current buffoon in the white house has already destroyed any foreign policy cred he may have had. Russia and China know that the US is now just a paper tiger, and that sort of weakness will embolden them to the point where the only response will have to be a nuclear one.
It's all marketing, babe! Just look at how bloated "apps" are, and how shitty the performance is. It's pretty bad when an "app" takes up more space and resources than a full-blown desktop application.
You claim that "We should not reduce ourselves to name calling" yet you go out of your way to repeat the asinine "Drumpf" meme in a vain attempt to appeal to xenophobia. I have to wonder at the correlation between those who happily use "Drumpf" and those who were outraged when Obama's middle name was mentioned.
It's Drumpenfuhrer. A crazy white man with delusions of grandeur wrapped around a couple hundred pounds of sh*t.
The old tech version of cameras? Sound waves. Think of scanning sound "camera", like sonar. Resolution should be good enough to get the job done, with enough post-processing.
Here you're allowed to refuse to give the equivalent of an SSN (especially since kids aren't required to have one until 18). Of course, then you can be sure that any strange activity will be immediately flagged. You then have to provide sufficient alternate government ID to be able to identify yourself if you're an adult (driver's license, medicare card, passport, citizenship card, etc.) The SSN or SIN is only supposed to be used for employers and tax purposes.
and tax documents similar to the process of applying for a bank account
I've never been asked for tax documents when opening either a personal or business account. For personal accounts, government ID is good enough, and for a business account either the business registration or incorporation papers, and ID.
He got the javascript string value "44", not the number 44. That's what happens when you use the plus symbol on two string values ("4" + "4", as opposed to 4 + 4).
You didn't get a number, because "4" (in quotes) in javascript is not a number, it's a string. And your result of concatenating two strings is also a string, not a number, so you fail.
Do you feel bad for the gasoline engine that strains its piston rods and grinds itself down hauling your butt to work? I sure don't because it is an INANIMATE OBJECT. Same with robots.
Actually, if robots can move around under their own power, their Animate(d) objects
I guess you missed the individual states that have sued, the pro-immigrant, and all those expensive anti-racist, anti-misogenist super bowl ads bought by other blue chip companies - Budweiser, Coca-Cola, Audi, etc.

It won't work. People with their noses burried in their phones already walk over the big yellow safety line onto the subway tracks (or walk into the space between subway cars and get themselves killed).

Ideas are two for a quarter. REALIZED ideas might have merit.
F*cking inflation. Back in my day they were a dime a dozen :-)

Which is why they want kids to "learn computers" in Kindergarten.

Global average of $0.20 per kw/h???? Are you serious? Wholesale rates are nowhere near that. Try between 3 and 6 cents.

Have you considered kids with parents who smoke?

We all know the world's largest number is 45 billion. Anything larger is FAKE NEWS!
Well, that's one way to get rid of the national debt.

And I can make any number I want with just ones and a single zero (if I want negative numbers or zero). Big deal.

So you intend to be a target for hackers taking over your robot and holding you hostage, or just to make a snuff video?
Get rid of the religious right and make birth control easily available. Actually, that would solve quite a few other problems as well..
The math doesn't work. The worker with $0 income can't afford even a $0.01 burger. Unless you go to universal income, robots are part of the problem.
So we should confiscate all the money of the idle rich, most of whom didn't earn it anyway.

1. Who the fuck cares? Companies, despite being granted extraordinary powers under Obama's tenure, don't get to declare things legal or illegal.
Surprise! Neither does Trump :-)
