I would have to imagine it wouldn't be any worse than tumble drying. Get some jeans and do a side by side: wear them in contexts where they won't be heavily soiled, wash and dry one every two times it is worn, and the other wash once a month and air dry it. The difference in wear is pretty noticeable.
Man with all the kids stuff I'm not sure I'd ever catch up if it took 3 hours per load... in 3 hours I can run the whole household's laundry through and have it put away. We line dry the delicates over a dehumidifier but there's barely enough space for just those.
The accounting records have to exist, yes. But to take that in whatever horrible form it is in, and translate it into something you can stuff in an internet facing database with enough hardware to index and serve the whole mess is different than keeping records that are merely adequate to support a government audit. That and you'll have to categorize everything, which would mean anytime anyone charged anything to a government number they'll have yet another form to fill out, raising overhead. Then you'd have to sort all the 'Other' responses. So, now you've created another giant government agency to manage the thing.
I think the cost of running an analysis that fine would eat any savings many fold over. It's like drug testing welfare recipients... it might sound like a good idea but you'll waste more money than you'll save.
Yeah I think Hollywood won, the trolls got stuck in the honeypot bombing reviews no one looks at. It'd be like bombing reviews on Kmart's webpage for a product while leaving Amazon alone.
A essay could probably be written about how they fought the war is a commentary in and of itself. "Marching infantry columns" would be anachronistic today, let alone in the future.
Programming is different than, say, general chemistry. The classes I took in fast moving fields moved so fast they printed up spiral bound texts for a relatively low fee instead of having a professionally made textbook. For general curriculum stuff like calculus, a yearly revision is unneeded.
I've felt the internet has helped me repair things and be self sufficient. Certainly it has made it easier to get parts for my washing machine and dryer than it'd be otherwise. But I'd agree with the microelectronics like the TV. You can't even have it repaired for less than replacement cost. It is a bit of a boon for me, in a way, that manufacturing all went abroad so I can afford all the tools to do work I can't afford to hire out... I suppose you're right, though, in that if not for cribbing knowledge from others online I'd be pretty screwed financially if I had to depend hiring out all the home repairs.
It'd take some failsafes to make it work, or else people are just going to hit the orgasm button until they starve. For anyone mildly susceptible to addiction, I'd expect, anyhow.
Yikes... my wife gets disturbed when I talk about it, but if/when I get to such a decrepit state I intend to go on a long walk in the wilderness in January.
I'm not sure that I do get much advantage in those cases, it's just the 'way things are'. But if it works for things it is stupid to use it on, like gas and electricity, surely internet connectivity would be even easier.
It is some accounting thing... the utility company still does the billing, but by changing suppliers I can get different/better rates for the consumable part of things. I'm not sure how to calculate if it saves me any money over before they deregulated, but I suppose it has 'created jobs' in the door-to-door energy supplier salesmen market. You can even get a 'renewable only' provider, but it ends up costing more. In practice it is like calling the cable company every so often to get the better rate, and also akin to that in how they can upgrade your speed without changing anything on your end. It isn't for the water, but if it was, the analogy would be like if any water company could dump water into the source reservoir and you could contract them directly, even though it all mixes together and the utility company owns the pipes used to get the water from the reservoir to your house.
Through means which don't make sense prima facie, I can switch electric and natural gas providers at will while the utility company continues to provide the connectivity. Why can't we 'nationalize' the fiber but let service providers compete on the service?
The analogy wasn't that the leg needed to think, it was that the fellow designing a functional prosthesis needed to understand how the template worked. I'm saying it can be blackboxed and still validated.
I think that'd depend on the fidelity. Does the guy making a prosthetic leg know how muscles work on a biochemical level, or does he just have to get things close enough? An AI doesn't have to appreciate the Muppets on as deep a level as you to drive the car around just as well.
No first hand knowledge, but blind people still use the visual cortex to process their surroundings and how to orient themselves. So they'll just dream in whatever sensory input their visual cortex has been trained with.
If I'm buying from a farmer's market or the local butcher, maybe, the local grocery store doesn't have the capability to do that with their POS system.
I'd be interested just for the lack of required maintenance. I got a new lithium ion battery line trimmer when my ICE one bit the dust, and it performs so well compared to the old NiCad stuff I'd love to replace all my ICE equipment. (I'm to cheap so I'll keep them until they break, but I don't see them getting replaced with more ICE stuff)
Do you know if India is producing the drug legitimately or is it violating intellectual property laws? If the former then... wow... it is like DVD region control taken to the extreme...
They might since for some of these there'd be no economics of scale... it is like the difference between buying parts off the shelf versus having them machined.
It is because research builds on previous research. You cite your sources instead of rebuilding the whole of knowledge each time you want to eek forward a little.

Lower burden of evidence in civil court, but I'd expect they'll do both.

I'm wondering if Netflix and Amazon are itching to license their backlog to the networks if the latter can't fill their timeslots.

Apparently from some of the more knowledgeable comments I've read on this, the discounted tickets you refer to are called 'coach'.
Cognitive capability developed by an evolutionary algorithm is going to get fuzzy. Maybe you could have a failsafe dumb AI that can tap the brakes.
