As productivity goes up, products become cheaper. Workers don't make more money, but they can buy more stuff with the money they have.
I've said this before, but my parents used to buy me a pair of shoes for $50 when I was a kid. That represented about a days work for my mother. Now, the same quality can be had for $15, which in today's money would represent about an hour of her work.
Your posting and those who upvote you represent people who don't understand basic economics. Let me guess: you vote Democrat and self-identify as "liberal".
The robot is simply overcoming obstacles to its objective. If you want to know the difference, take your hockey stick to a biker bar and try the same thing with the first guy who tries to go in. Get back with me when the robot shoves the hockey stick up your ass.
I've arrived at the conclusion that the vast majority of people, including all the ones writing articles, actually have no idea what blockchains are.
Sure. But he probably has 10 venture capitalists lined up outside his door right now trying to throw money at him.
We had an article in a local paper a couple of weeks ago about a company that was doing blockchain stuff. I mean, "stuff". The article was basically bullshit and to my trained nose it was obvious that they're taking venture capitalists to the cleaners and probably laughing about it daily.
Yet the fight against either "fake news" or misinformation in Vietnam must not be used as a smoke screen for stifling dissenting opinions and curtailing freedom of speech.
That's what the fight against "fake news" and "misinformation" is used for everywhere else.
I don't have to have access to classified information (and wouldn't tell you if I did - think about that). Were there any evidence that Russians actually changed election results it would be on the news 24/7. It's the same way that I know the TSA has never actually caught a real terrorist.
Just like everyone would benefit from robust Public Transportation -- so what exactly is your argument here?
I don't directly benefit from Public Transportation, no. I do have some indirect benefits.
But the road in front of my house *directly* benefits me, even if I don't drive. The mailman and UPS guy still drive down it, people who visit me use it, etc.
I can make the argument for free public transportation, but for free public roads? The argument makes itself.
What "election hacks of 2016" are we talking about? I mean, besides the Democrats screeching about this stuff 24/7 trying to push their alternate explanation of how the worst candidate in history lost to the 2nd worst.
I'm not a troll, you are. Did you even read what you posted. Here, I'll make it easy:
"A top official at the Department of Homeland Security told NBC News that Russia "successfully penetrated" a small number of state election networks during the 2016 US election."
Successfully penetrating a state election network and hacking an election aren't related. There's no evidence - and not even the allegation - that they changed anything.
Sorry, Hillary lost because she was a terrible candidate who didn't bother to campaign in key states. It had nothing to do with Russia. The questions that I asked are valid and unanswered.
While Kaspersky isn't alleged to be involved in the election hacks of 2016,

it's hard not to see the actions against the firm in the context of deteriorated relations with Moscow, as part of a growing spat between the two countries.
Wait, "growing spat between the two countries"? So hard to keep up with the bullshit du jour. I thought that Trump was a Russian puppet? Now we have a spat? Are the Russians mad because their puppet is off his strings? Seriously, what's the angle here?
In case you think I'm kidding, when I did a search like that 5 years ago the low end was $100-$200 for a house. People were selling blocks for a grand. At least now they're back to a few thousand.
Sure, but how many counties and people does the hospital serve? It doesn't matter how many people are in the county if it's the only hospital in 50 miles.
Most of this came abut due to the Congress neutering the Law enforcement (DEA) on behest of the Drug Companies that product the opioids.
Good. Why on earth do you think law enforcement officers should be making decisions about drugs instead of doctors and pharmacists? That's simply absurd.

Did anyone else see the news about the elephant in the classroom last week? It doesn't seem to have gotten the attention it deserves.
Of course, that's how it works. Let's face it: everybody sees the elephant in the room, it's just that nobody wants to talk about it.
Poor people, people on medicaid, elect to pay monthly as it's cheaper in the short run and that is the biggest motivator.
Right. One of the main reasons people are "poor" in the US is that they make bad money choices like this.

The only thing missing is some gratuitous Trump bashing.
Public transport is designed by the city to be a sustainable solution for a city. By extension taxi regulations are for the same purpose.

Trump made him the chairman of the FCC, so he gets to set the agenda on all rules and regs.
True, but he wasn't appointed to the commission by Trump.
Pai was at the FCC before Trump.

I read "they have unbreakable encryption and the foreign company behind them isn't easy to coerce into letting us have our way".

The ones that a named DHS unit head says occurred. It's amazing how forgetful you trolls can be.

You are forgetting that roads are also heavily subsidized.
And you're forgetting that everybody benefits from those roads - that's why they're subsidized.

It's a joke, and has nothing to do with race. I guess I forgot "plastic", but most people can figure that out.
So yes, it's abundantly clear that Equifax isn't getting the probing they deserve.
The "probing they deserve" is 12 inches long, 3 inches in diameter, black, and unlubricated.

Holy crap, people, I'm kidding!
The real question is, how are we going to fix this problem?
Now they are the taxi cartels. Brilliant.
Debian to be specific. It would not work with my friends who use the Windows version of Skype.
You have friends who..... use Windows?
