One thing I have always admired about the US it was the white man who fought against slavery yes he fought another white man however I am struggling to find another war fought on morals rather than for money, land, oil etc. It is those ideals that gave not only africans freedom but many others like mine also, anyone who came from a country where a minority was persecuted where they would like to escape to most would answer the US
Those "white men" deserve more respect and stop using privilege as an insult, privileges are sought after and normally bestowed of someone who has earned it
Oh and when you make a minimum wage companies that can will move the operation to a place where that minimum is less. See manufacturing as the example.
Exactly this when you mandate an employer have a certain minimum of anything they will drop all the employees that cause the bottom line to ballon out. In Australia the then Left wing government thought making shifts a minimum 4 hours sounds like a great idea however in the afternoon when a lot of teens had work between 3 and 5:30 and parents who only worked a few hours around childcare needs earlier in that shift meant both lost their part-time work lets just say the idea was turned into a "guideline" eventually
Charging Network that is where the real money will be that is the disposable razor just like liquid fuel was for the car till now. The person who owns the most charging stations will be the winner they just have to get through the growth phase and get their plug to be the standard. Have they been standardised yet? and so far all the ones I have seen are unmanned, swipe payment card, plug in, cord rolls back when you unplug.
Unfortunately for law enforcement it is often too late as many of the conversations have already happened As in the case of the apple phone what they ere looking for is the conspirators if there were any. Which is why Australian telco's and ISP are required to keep the metadata i.e. Time date length of call with the parties involved but not the content. so when a bad guy is identified we can go back and look at everyone they communicated with for the last 2 years and narrow the list of suspects to actually get a warrant for surveillance. Notice no need to decrypt or even know the content of communication.
Which leads to Bill gates recent rant on capitalism without capital , software breaks the capitalist idea of supply and demand once made software has virtually unlimited supply and any demand can be supplied through almost instant duplication. Until we make replicator technology from star trek the same won't happen for the manufacturing industry. And although manufacturing techniques have improved dramatically (imagine the tech involved in producing hundreds of millions of smart phones annually now) there is still a limit on raw materials driving up costs.
The raw material in software is programmers time and creativity they should look to publishing for inspiration there.
Yes I just quoted Bill gates and defended publishing and copyright. sosumi
The ideal solution would be to redesign the road system so that autonomous vehicles could happily work however that would require trillions of dollars. so these cars are going to have iterative updates to learn and cope with all the situations even humans have to learn different road rules where I live we drive on the left driving in the U.S. meant swapping everything over even after 6 weeks still managed to get on the wrong side once. This is compounded by differences in different areas for various reasons even humans have trouble with these but I am sure an AI once they teach/program it will do much better. WRT the death of the pedestrian the driver should not have been on her phone as her car was at best an version 0.1 at his stage and her job was to watch the car and help teach it any new situation much like a learner driver and their instructor.
Its a combination of things. e.g. There is a job that I need done regularly a manual labour job in this instance, we used to get 4-5 guys and get it done in 1-2 days then 15 years back OHS demands meant the job started to take 2-3 days this was bearable we could charge a little more.
The government mandated various thing like workers and public liability insurance this could be dealt with too it affected everyone and could be shown to clients and the better employers had it anyway, actually levelled the playing field a bit. Then the last 3-4 years the workers got lazy spent to much time on their phones so the job started taking longer and longer on top of the extra costs impact from distracted workers on insurance etc.. So I made a piece of very low tech less than $500 that modified the main tool used on the job. A robot was available for $130,000. The job is now done by 1 person in 2 days. I no longer hire those workers and cut insurance costs by 80% as its based on number of workers and wages paid.
So I like said a combination of things. All it takes is one last push for that the necessity to go over the edge
Actually not surprised this was with a football video game. I've seen haw fan react after the game and winners can be just as bad as the losers. Never see this after a star trek convention.
My anecdotal evidence from personal observation is the size of land and homes McMansions dominate small blocks where people think all there entertainment is inside then they get an idea to buy a Boat, caravan and suddenly its cluttering the street as the house block doesn't have room to store it then they get rid of it when the local authorities complain same goes for garages and work areas to do physical hobbies even gardens, there is no pride in paying a landscaper to do all the work, then letting it all die or worse when you ask them how it was achieved, they answer I was too busy so I paid a this guy I'll give you his number - while they FB,snapchat,whatsapp etc on there phone.
this translates to work if you lack pride at home chances are you lack pride in your work If you can't have that expensive hobby you have little reason other than paying bills to work. Even having physical books was often a source of pride. Shelves of books magazines etc showed your interest in something rather than whats trending on twitter. Its interesting when you ask what someones hobby is these days most people don't have an answer.

>Really? Why wouldn't people contribute if it were optional? After all, the contributions benefit the contributor, as you pointed out.
It doesn't take long for people to slack off when they realise the the effort they put in receives little or no additional benefit and worse their efforts are given to the lazy piece of crap next to them
Read trough the comments and only thing missing is this lamb ad 2016 - warning vegans complained some say they were traumatised yes it was real ad and aired. for those not in Australia

actually always look forward to the Meat and Livestock ads for Australia Day good chuckle material
I would do a second correlation to the amount of memory in the phone or the extras purchased eg case etc. I find people with just enough money will buy the base model or bare minimum to get by. because physically you can't really tell until you use it it doesn't have the extra memory or extra features This works with cars and other items.
Take a tip from a old lady I once saw on a train many years ago, she asked politely and was ignored twice the umbrella she was carrying then found its mark between his legs with the pointy end (best legal weapon you can carry anywhere) he moved painfully and covered his damage with his bag. then the old lady and her hubby had a seat Hubby was smiling probably knew what was going to happen
Paper = wood = carbon. We keep talking about carbon sequestration. How about burying it in a landfill and planting replacement trees to cycle yet more carbon dioxide in to oxygen?
while your at it throw in other organic matter and any pesky species and in a couple Millenia or so plenty of oil for future generations. you really think an asteroid ended those pesky dinosaurs
BC Canada is a little smarter the NSW Aus here they only accept cans/bottles that are intact and can be scanned by the machine which are few and far between see https://returnandearn.org.au/ but realise that the number of claimed depots are BS many closed when they worked out it wasn't worth the space or employee cost very fast. The places that don't have machines still won't accept them as they have to take them to a machine. Of course people who like to throw their trash now make sure no one wants to collect it as they crush the can/bottle just because they thinks its funny. Also 10c for any bottle glass plastic big small can. for those who collect them guess which give the best return
Councils give us a single stream bin having replaced the multiple bins years ago and in some areas those are tipped out to get the good bottles leaving entire streets looking third world shanty town in the morning of course being single stream china doesn't want that anymore either.
Now add that having a bin each for bottles/paper/plastic we don't have anywhere to store them thats why they got rid of them in the first place. plus it meant more truck runs
also if they see one contaminated item in the truck and they tip the whole truck into land fill do. so you only need one person to do the wrong thing and entire streets recycling will end up in landfill
I'd prefer an option thats fills their database with random data or data I choose such as congress and senators addresses, or that facebook fanatic till they realise these companies are crap
Early access was important when publishing on paper required a lead time for printing now however they can do a unboxing, first impressions and indepth a week later monetizing all versions with ad impressions they just might have to buy the card on their own if they give unfavourable reviews
The same goes for many businesses the costs to start now are much higher not just in tech and add to that ongoing costs e.g. energy cost that are increasing I see a lot of younger people give up once they realise that business they want to start-up would require 50k just to contemplate its not just big companies that make it difficult government and legislative requirements crush lots of starry eyed would be business owners
Unless you are lucky enough to get an angel investor most people rarely get a start-up going

I hadn't realized until now that Master Cylinder from Felix the Cat cartoons was a racist slave holder. And Felix was of course black.
For all those wanting true PC take out the master cylinder from your cars now!!
Check your priveledge, white man
