Special committee my ass! Why have 100 SEC agents not busted down their doors and hauled off truckloads of documents? Is there no longer any SEC to worry about?
Or "being sealed in a cramped aluminum tube moving at speeds guaranteed to kill if anything serious goes wrong, and placing your life in the hands of people you've never met, after waiting in line and being groped by other strangers"?
"Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator. "
It's all but given that cultured meat will someday be common. That meat will be high-quality without the bacterial/parasitic risks of animal meat, be more consistent and physically indistinguishable from animal meat, and taste great.
Eventually most countries will ban animal meat, though some will get it through the black market, insisting it's either "more natural than the synthetic crap," or as a perverse status symbol, like safari hunting for sport today.
Even when I was single my weekends weren't entirely work-free. In the past 20 years, my earning power has steadily waned, so evenings/weekends have been packed with side hustles and chores, with a little leisure if I was lucky.
Far as I know, the Japanese commuter bullet train has wheels. They had an experimental high speed maglev on a separate test track but it's not in commercial service.
Unless society changes dramatically, the need for artists etc is finite. Dump more artists into the market, and the ones barely scratching by now will go broke.

Any advance in tech is from a development in physics or math fundamentally. "Technology" is too vague a term.
simple things as metering snd billing: will always have significant costs.

Don't like face ID?
Use a passcode. Or no security at all...
When nanotech was discussed back in the 80s, there was a general feeling that developments such as this one were just a few decades off.

"Not a good use of public funds" is irrelevant. What's relevant is expansion of corporate welfare and extension of corporate power.

"surpassed even the most cautious sales estimates by tenfold"
Easy to surpass a cautious estimate. Harder to surpass a wildly optimistic one.
Should be bought.
Drug companies have no more incentive to extend / eliminate expiration dates than DeBeers has for telling women a used diamond's as good as a new one.
You mean "T," "G," "A," "C?"

Won't it be fun in coming decades when most of the Middle East beats it for less insufferably hot parts of the world?

Silly "citizens." The only thing that matters is what the current FCC chairman thinks.
The AI vendor and/or user could be required to carry liability insurance. The better the AI (fewer catastrophic errors), the lower the premium.
Who may or may not know anything....
"Radioactive waste" doesn't tell me much. What are the nuclides, how many curies?
