It is unfortunately the first in a gigantic 'caravan' of alien immigrants. Among them are drug dealers and gang members. Many are pregnant and will deposit their fertilized eggs on American soil.
The only solution is to build a wall around the entire Earth.
Who's going to put up a $1B factory in a place where the corruption/instability is so bad? The few cents you'd save in low labor costs would be eaten up by bribes, replacing stolen equipment, etc. And you'd never see payback. Even if human labor is dirt cheap there, robots will eventually become cheaper, so what's the point?
Not just mom-and-pop investors. Walgreen's got royally screwed too. Now there, you'd think, they'd have some experts check this thing out thoroughly. Unbelievable that they got taken.
You may already be aware of this, but W7 thinks it has to reconnect with MS every several months to validate the license. I have several machines at work that are not connected to the network, and display a "this is not genuine Windows" message despite being 100% legit. To get rid of the nag message, you have to connect the machine to the network (license server). All the workarounds I've tried are temporary.
Oh, Teamsters will LOVE autonomous trucks. It's not like they're going t take a pay cut.
That's right! Trucking companies will be happy to pay a premium for self-driving trucks AND pay the Teamster's driver the same money they received when they were behind the wheel.
It's cheaper to throw up a cube farm than build real offices with doors.
I'm glad I have an old fashioned office with a door that closes and locks. Most of the time it's open but it's nice to know the option is there when I need it. This suits my introverted nature just fine and lets me focus and concentrate when needed. In the past I've worked in cube farms; they sucked.
Though Gates is far less corrupt than Trump, both came to their fortunes by great luck, embellishing their own worth, and a lack of guilt about screwing people over for a buck.
Yes. Take a good look at that glorious 3.9 percent rate. This number is touted despite the 63% participation rate (if you've given up finding a regular job, you're not counted.) Also, if you have a PhD and your job is picking dildos in an Amazon warehouse, that counts as 100% full time employment.
Although the 3.9 percent rate ain't bad, it conceals a LOT of dry rot. Capitalism via AI is going to massacre the middle class.
If all standard consumer accounts are that way though, and you need a minimum of $750K in deposits to rate a real human banker to talk to, you won't have a choice.

I'm not anything near being a pilot, but seriously, aren't jet pilots supposed to fly by what the instruments tell them and not by seat of the pants?

Do these Kenyans know that in 15 years their cab and truck driving jobs are going bye-bye?
The whole VPN thing has grown out of a mistrust in gov't and ISPs. But are the VPNs trustworthy? That's the big assumption.
Because everyone wants to be free. Free from work, from money, from food, from shelter...

Errr... NASA is a "brand" ?

Uh, no. Push will eventually come to shove.

If that much gold were released into the market, surely the price/weight would decrease, right?
In October, the FCC will introduce a mandatory advertising channel that you cannot turn off.
In March 2019, they will add thirty minutes daily of poetry and songs celebrating beloved leader Donald J. Trump that you cannot turn off.
Six months later they will commandeer the cameras and microphones in all mobile devices.

Personal space is a real thing.
There's Moore's law, but really the hardware mfr's have been focusing on mobile for the past 10 years, cuz that's where the money is.
Is passenger drunk? "Yes"
Very few false positives.

Yeah, just keep 'em away from me.
