No, but I also don't want to live in a world where people can temporarily stop a warrant and clean up their mess.
That is a complaint of this Iraq deal -- spot inspections can be stopped and as much as 24 days elapse before all objections expire and they invoke the wrath of restored sanctions.
Saddam used to do that all the time. Indeed, it can be expected as a regular practice precisely so that, when it really counts and they need to hide stuff, the delays won't seem unusual.
May I venture a guess that some intercourse was involved in the DNA getting there?
Well I'm sure they will have it all figured out in the future, but..."We were unable to find any DNA trace of the race of Nerd in any descendant groups."
That will lead to subtle grade inflation on how sick a patient is, with estimations now edging them to a higher sickness number. It will be a wash and leave doctors who treat the sickest still looking like the worst doctors.
I remember hearing of doctor grades a long time ago and forseeing the exact problem this thread describes.
The increase in deaths because the best doctors seeing the sickest losing their license, or shying away from the sickest, should be tallied, and corncobs shoved up the ass of the politicians who voted for it, one cobb per needless death.
I don't think politicians want an actual outcomes estimation of their "work".
"Senator, your policies slowed technogical growth by 7%, leading to 270 million needless deaths worldwide because 74 major treatments were delayed an average of 4 years."
"Your grade for your kind, well-meaning heart is 9.8 Hitlers."
Unfortunatly laproscopic surgery for the big 3 bypasses isn't up to par yet. At least they don't slice open your entire leg to get a vein to play with anymore, pulling it out through a hole like a worm instead.
It's well known from studies that the more procedures a doctor does, the better the outcomes. What happens in 50 years when robots do so much and experienced doctors are dying off by the boatload?
For that matter, same issue with robot cars and people drive like a beginner in an emergency?
This is why you also compare "hard outcomes", like "death for any reason", where the difference would be over errors, regardless of how classified by doctors or lawyers.
and — most notably — will have to mimic the act of driving, to avoid confusing other drivers
"When an automobile approaches an intersection, the driver shall exit the automobile and stand in the intersection waving a lit lantern for 30 seconds, looking down each road, and blowing a loud horn, all so as to alert gentlemen on horses and peaceful ladies that they not be startled.
"Once this is done and the road clear, the automobile may be walked through the intersection. After the automobile is through, the driver shall remove his overcoat, jacket, shirt, and that thing that always flips up in Curly's face, and beat pennance into his own back with a switch of not less than 10 thorns or a whip of not less than three tails."
BTW, they will couch the spending in terms of investigating the galactic neighborhood, but will in fact be in an arms race with other major powers to discern new tech -- plans or science ideally -- but just knowing some things can be built is a huge advantage to direct research.
I still favor retreat into virtual worlds as the end game, even after manipulation of reality approaches manipulation of virtual reality in capability.
In the US, free trade between states has never meant individual states couldn't outlaw certain things. It does, however, mean they cannot limit shipment of those things through their state when going between two states where it is legal.
Some states where fireworks are illegal have sellers who play games, selling them inside the state near the border, if you will sign a form stating you are shipping it out. "Sure thing!" says the 18 year old.
The problem is people see voluntary cooperation in a free society working wonders, so they suppose if you just use laws to force people to cooperate similarly, you will produce similar results.
Last century was a test of hundreds of such experiments involving over ten billion people that showed conclusively that that supposition is disastrously wrong.
Thank god. Let's get northern Canada and Siberia in on more farming action. Meanwhile moving back from the ocean over hundreds of years with buildings getting old and needing replacing anyway is no big deal.
Keep the economy strong and not crushed. We won't even recognize life in 100 years due to technological advancement, much less 200 or 300.
How bad are the concerns of omnipresent horse poop dust from 1900 to us?
So what does the free upgrade to 10 from 7 get me? Will I have a normal UI, i.e. non-tablet/phone? Will programs including games break? Drivers for basic stuff like sound and Geforcd 3D card?
If stuff breaks and I have a miserable few days tracking down drivers, or months (all major online games? Gog and Steam stuff?) waiting for fixes from companies involved, what is the point?
... the quake will show how stunningly unprepared that region will be for the ensuing catastrophe.
And the biggest earthquake in the US wasn't in California or Alaska, but Tennessee. In the words of Michael Palin, "Welcome to Nashville, a city waiting to die."

Don't many drones remember their own path and return to base when they lose signal?
These aren't model planes of olde tymes.
It makes them criminals and they should go to jail.
Proof of concept would involve a test car in a safe area.

For a.limited amount of time, which they should state explicitely as part of the paid removal process.
That's brighter than you think! "Hello, ladies. I'm CmdrTaco, the commander of tacos, if you know wut ahm sayin', wink!"

No chessplayer, you.
If found, the next step is to watch as govennments dump billions into sensitive listening, followed by some idiot broadcasting at them.
It is inevitable.
Notice governments of Earth are already chomping at regulating who gets to mine asteroids.
Power gots ta power.

Perhaps you missed the scene in A.I. where the corporate guy instructs the sexbot, "Take off your clothes."

Avoid duplication? That's not how government rolls!
Well, I guess they will spend the savings on some other stimulus jobs program instead rather than reduce the deficit a microgram.
Would that be the government guaranteeing them safety from Russia via NATO?

Well, from that cool closeup, "Looks Like Average Slashdotter's Face" might be more appropriate.
> pathetically inadequate
Well, water counts but food is irrelevant. Most Americans can easily survive six months without food.
As for water, take how long a human can survive, in classical medicine, and add 2-3 days as the Amerifat body de-camel-humps the swollen ankles.
