50 years ago (much less 100) tech was way behind where it is now.
If we care about the future, we should maintain a strong economy, which drives technology forward fastest, through direct investment and smaller government investment, which relies on a strong economy for sufficient tax base.
A planet with slowly rising seas will leave a better legacy for great grand children with more advanced tech.
Would our forebearers in 1900 have done us any favors grinding industry to a near halt and leaving us with a mildly nicer environment (prolly not noticeable) and, say, 1960-level tech today?
Thanks fer nuthin'. I'll take year 2200 virtual reality, autodocs, robots, and so on on a floating city over any freaking alternative, and as fast as possible. Disagree? Thou mass murderer slowing things down.
Everything interacts with everything if you look hard enouh. To use that as justification for government interference ignores why massive restrictions are on government in the first place -- because it is misused by people in power to stay in power and enrich themselves.
Yes, this means you, them playing you like a fiddle to jump to their power grab tune. The more things they can legislate, the more idiots they can promise things to.
I've had "content blocked in your country" on YouTube here in the US. I assume it's blocking copyrighted stuff where they can sue and not in countries where they can't.
And what if some content doesn't exist for purchase by them? Throw together some shit on the cheap with Canadians in it? Woo hoo, thanks government!
User clicks on a movie. "We're sorry, your government has decreed you must first watch this first hour episode of Canadian Trashbinpickers" before we are permitted to show you evil American cultural imperialist dog movie.
"Intellectual property" is called property for a reason -- it is protected by legislation from copying, which is akin to stealing. You are stealing potential wealth from people who may chose to sell copies.
That's why it is called property: because taking it (via copy) is stealing, thabks to legislation. Do not devolve into semantics. because it "works around" the word "stealing".
Most US prisoners are for drug crimes. We have a vigorous debate going on about legalization.
Many (most?) Soviet prisoners were political prisoners. Criticism of that got you added to it.
Your parallel is silly and an obvious nod towards what issues in the US you consider paramount at the moment. At least normal blame America firsters (nice cold war reference there!) tie something the US did as, normally ludicrously, heavily controlling over some other nation. You simply skip that part.
All three of your citation neededs are asinine. Anyone who has been remotely paying attention to these things over the years and decades knows them the same way they know New York is on the east coast. Repeated references to same.
Go do your own homework, see that he is right, and come back and apologize.
It's already been prognosticated that general household robots will be a massive goldmine for lawyer frauds. The only way around it is a black box, perhaps with video, to show people fucking around and deliberately causing problems.
I always wondered if the rate of slip-and-fall accidents in supermarkets plummeted after security camera installation (even dummy ones.)
Well, they crossed that bridge already with complex nav systems that may distract you. You may be able to sign away your rights, but you still cannot sign away the rights of people you may cream.. They can still aue the company.
While not always bug-free, automotive embedded software is a hell of a lot better than desktop or phone shit. I have done both.
Embedded goes through rigorous testing of every single feature. Software is code reviewed with difference tools and every line poured over. Every path is guaranteed execution in testing. Worst case stack use is capped. Infinite loop failsafes are created.
"Regular", i.e. desktop development, is a yee-haw, flyin' by the seat of your flaming pants endeavor. I have done both. So should most developers as there are some eye opening things which can be easily adopted without slowing the bleeding edge nature.
Having said that, this new system is just an extension of already-existing lane keeping and distance keeping automation.
Sure, but dinosaurs aren't reptiles, so not sure what relevance that has. Now if an ostrich continued to grow throughout its life, or perhaps a chicken...
Kangaroos, fish, and crocodiles (which are commonly refered to as one of the closest living relative) never stop growing.
tumblr app autoplays gifs, so to speak (previously it just showed a preview and you clicked on it to see it) thus making it useless for two reasons.
First, it eats throuh gigs of data in no time. More importantly, 4g can't keep up with it and the fast scrolling you may want to do. Some clueless ass designed that one in a vacuum.
I've found no matter how "easy" a game is, people will push the limits until they get killed. So whether its original EQ where you need a full group to deal with singleton yard trash, or recent WoW where you destroy stuff that's near-skull level (or even beyond skull level) solo, you are always pushing.
Have you ever had a scientific study of the "rigorous technical car checks"? (We will assume for the sake of argument they are useful in spotting problems.). And make sure the big companies are up to standard and not just bribing the official, who, coincidentally, applies a rigorous standard to tiny and independents, oh, another problen. Get it fixed and I will recheck in a month.
It's kind of butt-ironic then that we bitch about Japan not opening to our rice market when we keep our sugar market closed to arch capitalist countries like Canada so our sugar is 2x the world price.

Apparently you and I lived through completely diffent 1970s.
The only thing superior about analog TV was figiting with the horizontal hold to un-twist scrambled naughty broadcast signals at 1 in the morning.
Also poutine is superior to fries with ketchup on them. It also edges out mayonnaise, popular in Europe and also vastly superior to kerchup.

I do not see these other people as having a right to have their stuff shoved in front of my face to the exclusion of Google.
They can pay for ad space, maybe Google puts Google ads up there, too. Otherwise fight for page rankings like everyone else.
If Google is claiming fair rankings and bitchslapping competitors down in the normal (not paid) search results, that's fraud.

No, that's fraud, and should be treated as such.
I suppose victims of a DNS should just suck it up?
It needs movement, not exercise per se. You want to call walking and keepinh busy "light exercise", that's your business.
People who exercise vigorously then go sit on the couch for six hours in the evening had almost the same heart disease rates.
These "walking workstations" may help you live a lot longer.
