If anything, this suggests that we need to raise wages globally so we'll actually quit wasting so much human effort.
When the human effort is no longer needed, unskilled humans are no longer needed by society. So as you increase automation you also need to eliminate the superfluous humans.
The referenced draft document simply states that IF you are concerned about it, here's how to reduce exposure. It doesn't state that RF exposure is dangerous.
What the study showed: No association was observed between cell phone use and the incidence of glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, even among people who had been cell phone subscribers for 13 or more years
Apple suppliers have stockpiled enough cobalt to cut the demand for a while and force prices down. Apple puts up a smoke screen to make it look like this is a Good Thing.
You don't know how to get the length of a string in Python? That's OK, provided you don't claim to know Python.
I'd probably flub that part. Not because I haven't written that line of code many times, but because I've written it in many different languages and they're all different. Is it len(string) or string.len() or array_length(string) or something else? I don't trust myself to remember that kind of stuff.
The drugs used by livestock feeders aren't the same ones that worry WHO.
You're spreading fud; these antibiotic resistant bacteria are caused by inappropriate use of antibiotics to treat humans, mostly (but not entirely) in Third World countries.
You make several baseless (or at least unsupported) assumptions. There's no scientific evidence that pork or beef is less healthy than venison. Cancers feed on sugar, so reducing blood sugar is a good thing.
My own experience has been that reducing carbs and increasing meat and other vegetables does result in weight loss.
You have to explain to them why a $300K tractor lasts longer than a $600 laptop?
Seriously though, consumer electronics are made as cheaply as possible. Whether it's planned obsolescence or consumer preference - that's the way it is. My assumption is that people look at a $600 bargain laptop and it seems to work just as well as the $3000 "professional" model, so they buy the cheap one, then complain when it conks out after a couple of years.
You, as the owner of the item, already have the right to repair it. Nobody is going to arrest you for opening it up and doing whatever you want.
The question is whether the manufacturer has the right to sell, or not sell, what they choose. That includes replacement parts and service manuals. It really is that simple.
The really civilized thing is, we do almost all of our bribery above board these days.
Sometimes the money isn't a good investment. The Clinton Foundation went from collecting millions in donations from foreign nationals to layoffs in just a few weeks last fall.
But the privacy order stressed that following these standards is "voluntary" and that "providers retain the option to use whatever risk management approach best fits their needs." If there are complaints about security, the FCC would decide whether the ISP has implemented reasonable data security practices based on a few factors.
So ISPs don't have to do anything. But whatever they do, the FCC can step in and decide if it was enough - after the fact. Sounds like a half-baked regulation that should be tossed.
Slashdot posts a couple of articles a week that invite Trump bashing. This one is a perfect example, you see "New York Times" in the headline and you know there will be a couple of hundred posts, most of which will mention Trump.
Not only short and non-informative, but makes nonsense assertions like this:
Why it matters: Most publishers have designed their websites to measure user interaction through clicks, not scroll rates or time spent on stories. As the industry moves away from click-through rates (CTR's) as the most meaningful marketing metric, those publishers will have a difficult time justifying the effectiveness of their platforms for marketers.
Care to explain why publishers will have a "difficult time"? If it can be counted, they can count it. If it can't be counted, it's not a metric.
FUD about Trump budget cutting aside, it's a common practice to spend as much on a program as possible in order to make Congress or the Executive Branch less willing to admit that it's a failure and kill it. NASA needs to find a reason for going forward with SLS versus using smaller unmanned vehicles.
If you communicate with the people sitting next to yiu over Slack or Gihub only then, yes, you have a communications problem
Read the part in the summary about how disruptive it is to be interrupted. Unless the question needs to be answered RIGHT NOW it's often better to send a text or email and let the other person respond when they have a spare minute. People who think they're really good communicators are often the ones who wander around the office or shout over cubicle walls, disturbing everyone within earshot.
Sprints and morning scrums are less important when everyone is in the same room all day. But remote teams benefit greatly for all the reasons you listed.
Kudos for getting the fans involved, but I'm waiting for this in ice hockey -- "Throw your gloves down! Pull his jersey off! Punch him in the shoulder pads!"
As long as he only uses it for personal communications there's no problem. Keep government work separate on government issued devices; that's what Powell told Hillary to do.
So long as it's cooked to an internal temperature of 160F chicken is okay to eat.
Oh, and by the way, cholesterol isn't harmful in the amount you get from chicken or beef. But you should minimize the amount of processed sugar and flour in your diet.

While the boundaries aren't distinct, different things happen in each layer so it makes sense to consider them individually.
Well, there is a reason, albeit not a good one. If you knew who they are you would never answer them.
The Do Not Call list is a joke, the proposed rule is an example of good regulation.

In fact the National Cancer Institute says the opposite:

At least a few companies tried that. Needless to say, the conflicts caused all kinds of problems.

Data supports one but not (necessarily) the other. Fudging or hiding data is the problem.
The driver will be in back loading, launching, and recovering drones as the truck drives itself. Until he's replaced by a robot.
How do we deal with that problem?
Name-calling seems to be the preferred method - "Alarmist", "Denier", "Racist", "SJW", and of course "Deplorable".

Sounds like a good deal. That's less than Clinton used to charge for a night in the Lincoln bedroom.
