Come on. Are you really trying that hard to be dense? You can envision that entire scenario, but you canâ(TM)t envision a system that would allow the engine to start but not put the car into drive?
In most of those examples, there is still an underlying labor cost.
For example, with the truck driver delivering the load - yes you are right that his labor costs are a small part of the delivery charge. Other costs include the fuel, and paying for the usage of the truck. So we have to look at the cost of those items, and guess what? There is labor included in those. Refining oil has a labor cost. Drilling oil has a labor cost. Making the equipment to drill oil and refine oil has a labor cost.
While at any stage, the labor cost is fairly minimal, it is there at every stage, and it is an accumulating percentage of the cost at any level.
In the end, the vast majority of the cost of any goods are labor. Sure there are some costs that are not associated with labor (real estate rental, for example). But most things boil down to labor at the end of the line.
Prada of course. I simply could not dream of using any other paperclip. Granted that at $185 a piece it is more expensive than other paperclips but, for some of us, quality matters.
When you consider the lifetime cost of assuring that your papers stay together, it just makes sense. Of course there are those luddites and fashion-challenged people who just don't understand. Fortunately for them there are plenty of bargain basement opportunities when it comes to their clipping needs.
For me, I just wouldn't feel comfortable trusting my documents with anything else.
I have a couple questions about that, if you don't mind.
1) Do you enjoy your job at all?
2) What would you do with you new found free time?
3) What if the UBI only amounted to a portion of your current income. Say 80% or even 60%. Would you work to make up the difference or adjust your lifestyle to make the reduced income?
You seem to not grasp the concept of "universal". With UBI everyone gets the income. It doesn't matter what other income or assets you have. So no need to hide your job.
When I rank which parts of that movie to skip, i would say the middle hour comes in second most important to skip. The part before the middle hour being first and the part after it being third.
This seems to be a rather stupid, short-sighted approach to me.
Since you brought up misuse by drunk people, what about protecting people from sending text messages while drunk? That should be a concern as well, shouldn't it? Should we get rid of text messaging to prevent this tragedy?
Here is a simple, logical solution. Provide the feature along with the ability to enable/disable it. Have it be disabled by default. Now anyone who wants to continue on as they have been can do so, while allowing those who wish to take advantage of the feature do so.

You donâ(TM)t know much about cars yourself, do you?
If the cars exhaust is blocked with snow, there is a danger of CO poisoning.

Forcibly encouraged.

The movie was not taken from the book. The book was published after the movie. Clarke wrote the screenplay and novel essentially at the same time.
Why does that limit your ability to download and watch stuff while flying?
I do that pretty much every time I fly and never seem to have an issue with it.
Well right from the start you are wrong.
You can turn off autoplay on Netflix.
of committing lots of resources to it and wasting a bunch of time.
At least that is what seems to be popular nowadays.
And on another related note I would to tell you a story about a little man, if I can.
If what you say is correct, then why was this done for the 60kWh batteries only?
The answer is that you are wrong. The batteries labeled as 60kWh are the same hardware as the 75kWh batteries, and are just limited by software.
Have you seen many operas? Many of them are about assholes.
At least they didn't Chrome him.

No, but in L4t1n it lets n00b5 know you are a 1337 h4x0r,
Your definition of a Megabyte is 1000 Kilobytes, according to your math.
At least that's the case if you define 1,474,560 bytes as 1.44MB.
Using a definition of 1MB = 2^20 bytes you would find that floppy is only 1.40625MB.
I am not sure about the hard drives you owned.
I have a couple questions about that, if you don't mind.
1) Do you enjoy your job at all?
2) What would you do with you new found free time?
3) What if the UBI only amounted to a portion of your current income. Say 80% or even 60%. Would you work to make up the difference or adjust your lifestyle to make the reduced income?

Sure because once you have told the automated car where to go there is no possible way of stopping it along the way or changing its destination.
Also I would venture to guess that the majority of driving is commuting to work for a lot of people. And many of them would welcome this.

Read this post and it's replies. It is a good explanation of the issues with recursion.

I would like to hear more about your plan to replace morticians with 3D printed houses.
You breezed right over "mellinial" on your way to "gammeworld".
Doesn't sound like it.
But he does sound like he is really into juice.
I hear it is really easy to overclock them.
Just update this regist-aaaaaarrrrghhhhh
