The parents of the baby boomers - the so-called greatest generation - were the ones who failed to educate their children
The attitude was, and continues to be
___Send the kids to church for a couple of years to learn to be moral
___Send the kids to public school to educate them.
It doesn't work, and it cannot work. It has to be done at home, and there are few parents left with the ability to do it properly. We're screwed.
My 9th grade algebra teacher gave an example of this: a Greek philosopher (Aristotle?) complaining about the corruption of youth in his day, her point being that this has always gone on and is no big deal. What she missed was the collapse of the Greek empire a generation later.
Laziness and corruption do matter, and empires do fall due to the failings of their citizens.
We don't know the exact situation. In close conditions, the child could have been as little as one staggering jump away from veering into the robot's path. Do you expect the parents to have 50 ms reaction times 24/7 ?
The robot needs to be re-engineered. The design team screwed up pretty badly.
Many posters have pointed out that latency in the graphics card is an inherent problem.
There's also latency in the monitor, and latency in the computer which creates each frame. Merging the functions of the monitor and the graphics card should allow a latency reduction of 1 frame (at the display rate). (This brings up new problems, of course. Interfaces change, and the monitor has to handle the weight and heat of the graphics card function - a problem if the monitor is a VR headset.)
Apparently you don't understand that progressive politicians and philosophers are all for maximized government power. Most of them are so bent that they think corruption is justified rewards.
You are warping and abusing the language, particularly the word "dehumanization".
The human brain is simply not equipped to handle additional humans as fully operating human actors at population densities greater than this.
It is not true that you have to be familiar with someone to mentally view him as a "fully operating human actor". - And without that, your claim collapses.
Your emotional modifiers "sadly" and "grim" are unjustified.
Most objection to the private ownership of firearms is blind fear. Among politicians, the objection is based upon the knowledge that firearms can be used to kill tyrants, and many politicians want to be tyrants.
The argument is intractable among the public because fear is an emotion, not subject to rational argument. The argument is intractable among politicians because would-be tyrants are evil.
Don't wait until after you've left. Don't rely on Personnel or your boss. Get some company letterhead and envelopes, find a trusted coworker and write each other undated Letters of Recommendation. Don't exaggerate, and write in generalities - reliable, conscientious, hard-working, etc.. Be brief.
Comey's failure to recommend prosecution smells of corruption. He's either being promised a reward or threatened with destruction. Nothing else makes sense.
The country is already bankrupt. Its creditors, if paid at all, get paid in dollars worth about 2% of their 1900 value. That's far less than most creditors in bankruptcies get.
Carter is more educated than Trump, and maintains the faux modesty common among academics. He's more intelligent than average. He gives the appearance of intelligence. Alas, his timidity in foreign relations made him a poor president.
Trump had about as much formal education as Carter, but business studies is almost as undemanding as an education major. His brash personality makes it difficult to judge his intelligence, but I suspect he's sharper than Carter. If he's president, he won't be cowering to tinpot dictators.
Neither has a clue about economics or private property.

Gary Coleman worked as a security guard.
Guessing from the name, the family is of Chinese extraction. They tend to be better behaved.
Sieg Heil.

Better to laugh than to cry, and crying is what will happen if Hillary is president.
Both your post and that of the GP are worthless without adjusting the (missing) numbers so that the results are per capita.

Extrapolate. It's at least worth a try, to determine if the resulting errors are distracting.

How is this even news? Was there anyone paying attention who doubted this would happen?
Thieves of a feather flock together.

They're features.
And by adding more features, we're getting less - if it's Microsoft.

So you're claiming that Hillary Clinton's orders to destroy evidence were not willful? Wow.
Comey's failure to recommend prosecution smells of corruption. He's either being promised a reward or threatened with destruction. Nothing else makes sense.

The typical Democrat would support Charlie Manson for Democratic president over any Republican. It's all "Yay our team" and "Eat the rich".
The GP specified "corrupt lying traitorous piece of garbage on my tax dollar."
Trump is a corrupt lying piece of garbage. He is not traitorous, and his use of tax dollars has been indirect.
There's also a question of degree. Hillary Clinton is pure evil, Trump not so much.
Carter is more educated than Trump, and maintains the faux modesty common among academics. He's more intelligent than average. He gives the appearance of intelligence. Alas, his timidity in foreign relations made him a poor president.

Hillary is proud that she successfully defended a rapist. Her feminism is appearance only.
