Smart glasses, individual and unique fitted by an optometrist, for your vision and putting a 125" screen at instant access. Glasses will be light and drawing current and data from a unit you will slip into your pocket, with a limited control screen only. Control likely best by wearing rfid rings on your fingers that the glass can location track, maybe with a push button on the rings depending on size. That is the logical next step part of the selling point will be protecting you eyes, they would effectively be safety glasses and providing visual escape from your surrounding when ever you wanted it. Being able to see through them when inactive would be a requirement, else two cameras feeding real world view to you, multi spectrum, see infra red and ultraviolet and record what ever you want when ever you want.
Definitely smart glasses as the next big step. A good possibility they will take market share from large form factor screens as many users can share the same content at the same time via networked connections. Hackers of course could create havoc, putting disruptive images on your glasses, at a high risk point when you are driving for example.
It definitely would not be Einstein, stupidity is most definitely not infinite, it really does not take all the much to lead to the finiteness of death.
Close but you missed. Why does Google want https to dominate over http, simply because it get's in first. It knows what is at the https site and it knows you and it knows you have accessed that site and it can track subsequent interactions. So https disadvantages many of it's competitors, cuts them off from that information , so not about digging further into your privacy they have already dug as deeply as they can and we are filling that hole back up again as quickly as we can taking into account high levels of government corruption across the globe. This is simply a matter of what hurts their competitors advantages them, if you are not using https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck... and switched to waterfox https://www.waterfoxproject.or..., then you are a bloody idiot. Want to control Google, too fucking easy, stop using them, let them feel the punishment though, target something specific, like stop using google search and get as many others as you can to do the same and get them to share it further. Unhappy with google, then punish them, use duckduckgo, I promise it is really actually better and I still use google maps and of course not gmail, and I watch youtube, except where they broke it on my smarttv on fucking purpose to try to force me to buy chrome tv which I never will and I set cookies session only for google thus am always logged out, until I log in temporarily. They area a pretty shit company and totally no worthy of customer loyalty, use them, abuse them, get sick of them and toss them aside, as you see fit.
Talking about big numbers, the study in it's entirety is shallow thinking insanity. First question, are you alive or are your cells alive because suck it up folks, you are born, live and die, every single day of your life, part of you is dying and part of you is being reborn. To live in reality is to die continuously, it's just that the dying catches up and overtakes the being reborn. To go beyond cellular existence is to extend quantum conscious existence, where you cells share a quantum field state that defines the conscious you, keeps those billions of cells juggling a shared existence, as they are born, live and die.
Sometime things are never as clear as they seem. For example to control your emotions, it is always assumed that you limit them, why, from my understanding to control my emotions is to choose the ones I wish to feel and express and generally promote a sound physiological state to live pleasantly. A freeman is a slave to nothing and no on, not even their own emotions or life. Control your emotions, why wouldn't make yourself feel happy and content, why would you choose to feel nothing or let others control your emotions for you.
Do you already live forever, just a matter of relative time as a fraction of infinite space and time?
Dont be a what ever. This current beat up, this idiotic frothy circle jerk, is a manufactured event. Created by the corrupt cunts who currently control the far right corporate controlled Democrat Party. Created in backrooms smoking cigars that have been stuck in each other genitals, to keep fiscal policy off the table, so people can rant about what bodily part they are sticking in what ever orifice, scream and scream about it. C'mon seriously, look who corporate main stream media ignores. Like a camera on an empty podium whilst another politician that did sort of represent the people was ignored and corporate main stream media colluded with a corrupt political party system to cheat democracy and the entire existing government ignored that corruption like it didn't exist and the following government joined right in on the corruption and yet they could have locked up a huge number of the opposition, oh yeah, hah hah, Americans are idiots and the is no political opposition party, just cunts fighting for exactly the same piece of corrupt action. Yet main stream media in it's entirety can now focus enormous amounts of attention on every single fuckarse crazy sexual freak out there.
This current shite is nothing but a political show to silence workers and prevent a workers party forming in the US, same old, same old and the deep state and shadow government are right in there. Corporate PR psychopaths designed it to, lets be blunt, keep all you idiot morons down. It is a lie, an illusion, fed into empty minds by an entirely corrupt US corporate main stream media, it is a lie. No civil war, none of that shit, just the psychopath corporate douche bags desperately trying to keep workers from taking over because when they do the criminal trials will start and the cunts currently controlling the system will be kicking in the wind, not that many of them either, those psychos are so in the minority and those forces used to try to control us, will be used to destroy them (they also ain't the fucking slaves of corporate psychopaths when the psychopaths corporate started trying to treat them, like they do in made up movies, wow did they make a mistake, so tiny civil war between the entirety of the rank and file versus the corrupt political appointees and their handful of quislings).
Use as many exclamation marks as humour provides for. If you use additional exclamation marks seriously, then you are just an idiot douche marketdroid infesting some corporation is some utterly useless manner. The use of exclamation marks, like capitals, is only meant for humour, most often quite dry but humour none the less.
If you are serious, you go talk to the person in person, if it is serious enough you make that effort. Do not make a person effort, then it ain't serious and stop being a douche, the lowest kind, the kind of asshat that floods forums with advertisements.
It's called patents, artificial inflation of profit margins by corrupt corporations and governments, expect patent duration to be extended probably fifty years, corrupt government and the current one certainly is that, will deliver to the corporations regardless of the harm caused, psychopaths will be psychopaths.
It is simply advertising M$ because people think they are a pack of privacy invasive control freak cunts. So they hatch up schemes like this crap, not to generate revenue but simply attempting really fucking lame brand repair, Windows anal probe 10, good luck the brand repair, Microsoft watching you masturbate, perhaps they should consider that, when selling the privacy invasiveness of Windows or the probe, the one that controls which patch you get or if they decide to brick you computer that they own.
I seen you missed the most important bit about psychopathic capitalism, insatiable greed. No matter how much they have, they will still want more, More, MORE. Don't expect any change until we dig the psychopaths out of the system and park them in asylums.
You don't have to have mites to fell like you have them and it doesn't even have to be a psychological reaction. You can simply have a predilection to genetic nerve damage, which will result in misfiring nerve cells, generating what ever sensations they will generate and that can occur any where from the tips of your fingers and toes, all the way up your spinal column and right back to your brain. Suffer nerve damage and that includes genetic replication faults and you can feel all sorts of things. I thing they should see if they can detect false nerve impulses, rather than check for insects and when the find none assume a purely psychological condition. Nerve damage can be very subtle and can make you feel pretty much anything.
What is the actual problem and what are the symptoms of the problem. The problem itself can also be interpreted differently based upon what is considered socially normative. This to the point that, 'is the individual sick or is society sick', the problem and the symptoms of course people behaving in an 'unhealthy' fashion, with regards to the own physical health and well as the perceptions of mental health of the society of which they are a part.
So gaming addiction a problem or simply the symptom of a problem. The problem being the need for the person to mentally escape from their society due to the negative interactions they have with their society and seeking that escape via gaming. Inherently we do live in an insane society bound by capitalism, where one persons capital worth is worth more than an infinite number of other people's lives (the police can kill one, or ten or one hundred, one thousand etc. people to stop them robbing a building with other people's money even when no lives are under threat). We oppose the existence of our own species for greater capital worth, that is psychopathic and insane, it just is. Hence it creates negative social interactions which drive many to escape, whether via computer games, drugs, alchohol or even suicide.
The cure for society is clear, the removal of psychopathy (psychopathic capitalism) from it's makeup, it is the problem, gaming addiction is just one of many symptoms.
Simply a matter of industrial economic development. Clearly the India government wants to promote the manufacture of solar panels in India for export to the rest of the world in very large volumes. So it is seeking to promote the development of major very high production level solar panel plants. So it is putting out a tender which will promote that development to fill that contract and then go on to export panels as well as fill local need at a low manufacture cost per kWh of energy produced.
This might seem a major investment but compare it to pouring similar amounts of money into the black hole of military misadventures and espionage corruption and crime promotion. The Billions going into those solar panels to provide a future economic advantage in the production of solar panels is a sound investment into the future.
So how low can the solar energy limbo bar cost per panel go before it breaks the back of say, coal as a start. This kind of investment is what will drive it and why US fossil fuel corporations fight so hard to block it's development in the US, via lobbyist corruption but will ultimately cripple the US in the future as a result of this quarters greed. Being the cheapest at making solar panels in largely automated factories will be a big thing in the future competition between nations, having the raw resources close to production facilities they will favour by regulation, will be critical.
If you have the raw resources why would you not force the export of solar panels only and not the raw materials, things will get interesting.
Computer security requires that employees be terminated from the system as quickly as possible. They simply did not build the system to quickly fix the problem and corporate consider people disposable, hence not a matter of concern.
You solve that by multiple billing companies in the same place of business. So Taxcheating company No1 to Taxcheating Company No99, the numbers buried in the fine print, the same company but different for billing and taxation purposes. Computers can do it real easy, automatically.
Wow that idea of measuring against other nations in poverty, just so wildly corrupt. Yeah we know, as far as US corporation waiting to ruthlessly exploit Puerto Rico are concerned, why don't the Pureto Ricans just fuck off and die already so we can steal the land for cents on the dollar. Yeah they refused free money and assistance or are you seriously comparing that ludicrous loans with inflated interest rates as assistance.
Rare earth mines are notoriously dirty and that is the reason for Africa not because there are not sources in the western world, Australia a good example but very expensive mines to run soundly and cleanly, can't compete with poisoning the general population in Africa with a cheap extremely dirty mine and processing facility.
This is exactly why they killed net neutrality. Now anyone who competes with them, will have their service crippled across AT&T cables, forcing AT&T users to buy their service or buy someone else's broken service, simply not enough bandwidth to run. All about monopolistic internet publishing, hi new model, say hello to the old model, brought to you by corrupt political practices and psychopathic selfishness and greed.
Nah, your just fifteen years older with changed morality, taste, knowledge and experience. Have you considered, that you have changed more than slashdot and hence you perception of it is altered, rather than slashdot having altered.
Most people do not realise the burger robot is actually an exercise in economic futility. You go to a fast food joint to eat what you do not have to cook and in many instance are probably incapable of cooking. Of course if a robot cooks it, why bother paying for the food when you can buy the robot and it cooks for you. So robot cooks, why pay someone else a profit margin, when you can have what you want, when you want it, in your own home, from fresh raw ingredients, cooked carefully and no food shenanigans.
Then there is the next choice, do you want a robot effigy of a human slave in the kitchen or do you want a robot kitchen. Why enter you kitchen ever, instead have an autochef. A cubicle with two pairs of inbuilt robotic arms (so they can fix each other), a fridge freezer and pantry with backdoors so that you can fill them and a serving portal where you pick up your freshly prepared foods, or have a simple deliver bot brings it to you. The autochef, it's two pairs of robotic arms, can touch and hence clean and even repair every part of the auto chef (the hotplates, oven, microwave, cutlery and utensil storage and all work surfaces, sinks, garbage disposal) and select from you fridge, freezer and pantry all the raw ingredients needed to make pretty much any meal. A fresh hamburger, on a fresh bun, done to perfection, your idea of perfection, or a fresh ramekin of lasagne or a fresh ground cup of coffee, you need never enter you kitchen again. Mostly spotless and fresh food always available, after the required preparation time, as long as you stock it with raw ingredients, hell autochef could order those for you and toss out old stuff, even store quality left overs for a quick snack.
So robotic kitchen, why pay someone else a massive profit to use theirs, why go to the supermarket for anything other than raw ingredients, your autochef can make everything from scratch. Everyone who can afford it will buy the autochef and takeaway food and processed food will all be in deep, deep shit. Hell fancy scientific autochef, can store and process waste to create methane to feed a microturbine to generate heat and electricity.
So takeaway food companies developing autochefs so they don't have to pay shitty worthless human beings to do the work, ultimately put themselves out of work, why fucking pay them, they think people are shit and not worth employing, well, the junk food company executives are shit and not worth employing (that is probably a lot more accurate than it should be), I want that autochef like yesterday. So question for someone like Elon Musk is which is more profitable over the long term, being first at the autochef cubicle that is installed in homes or competing with electric vehicles, that autochef, pretty much well sell for the same price as a car, be very similar in build complexity and likely quite profitable, including install costs. Size driven mainly by how many meals it can prepare at the same time. it could be relatively compact. I would pay more for an autochef than for a car, seriously.
The governing principle here is not the establishment of a mathematical theorem but societies need for that theorem. Without the need there is no need of hypothesis to establish proof and create a theory. So driven by societies need for accurate measurement, that society must have advanced sufficiently in order to make use of the theory to keep it alive, especially prior to the printing press.
Centimetres in metric countries is mainly a school thing and not used much beyond who do not do much educating beyond high school ie count to ten versus count to one hundred so 1 centimetres is 10 millimetres and of course decimetre which is really never used beyond education 1 decimetre equals 10 centimetres, again counting to ten.
Antarctica is rising because not only is there less ice pushing it down, there is more water at the equator pushing down the plates the water floats on. So we are shifting the plates across the entire manner in what is technically an unstable manner ie it does not reflect the pattern of extended term stability over the past tens of thousands of years. That can either make things temporarily more stable or in probability outcomes temporarily more unstable. So larger earlier significant tectonic events is more probable.
Methane still remain by far the greatest threat if efforts are not made to contain it, it will trigger earlier rapid sea level rise, after that a more stabilised period will occur where sea level rise is slower, that first 1m is likely to happen much sooner and faster than people think.
You forget capitalism is competition. You might as well say, I want everything that will advantage me and disadvantage everyone else, so I always win. All things being equal you compete with someone for the same job and you are both sufficiently good enough, you suffer a handicap which does give them employment advantage, they do not, well bye bye you.
All contests are artificial and governed by rules, you just want the rules changed to favour you but so does everyone else and the biggest cunts in the world today are exactly those people who changed the rules to favour their psychopathy. Don't pretend fairness in the rules of competition in capitalism, capitalism by nature is psychopathic, the rules are artificial and your capital worth is worth more than other people's lives a unlimited number of other people's lives.
I can push further with my mind, I feel no need to make a pig of my self, have more than everyone else, a rich mind is it's own reward, shame about your handicap.
To be cruel, the hula hoop made a comeback, the yoyo made a comeback, lots of fads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... made a comeback but a pet rock is still a pet rock. Twitter for attention seeks to climb up their tree and tweet out, 'my tree', 'my tree', 'my tree'. All still an exercise in narcissistic futility, which twit can get the most twits to follow them. Twitter serves no purpose better served by other means, if people did in public exactly what they did on twitter ie stand on random street corners, at random intervals, to scream at passers by and continue to do this regularly, we would lock them up.
It actually goes deeper than that. Apple has been penalised for an action that was considered illegal under consumer laws and penalised. That action was proven but that was not the only law broken. Apple in illegal bricking phones, did make illegal use of a computer network and illegal use of a person computerised product, they used the computer network illegally to make use of a product owned by the person targeted and forced the product to turn itself off permanently. That is more than just a consumer related offence, that is a prosecute table computer crime. Also end users can now jump on the civil suit wagon and sue for all provable damages caused by that now proven criminal act, Apple criminally breached contract and is no longer protected bullshit warranty clauses. For those they want to play, now the fun can really start.
It would be impossible to launch anything unarmoured or unshielded (warp space enough to go FTL, than you can warp space just enough so things tend to go around your warp field rather than through that which projects they almost warp field, probably). It would take decades to clean up and depending upon density of the fragments likely disturb the climate.
A dick brain would promote a space army because yeah porn addict dick brain. A smart person would create a space rescue force because that is the required infrastructure needed to colonise the solar system. The ability to support and rescue space craft in need done as a combined say commonwealth of earth effort. Not for president dick brain and his council, congress and senate of dick brains, nope 'War In Space' is the way they want to go because, dick brains.
ie there is only one question I want answered about Star Trek, will Klingons continue to be ugly cannibals who clad their star ships in coffin armour and behave like idiotic Hollywood ideologues or change back. Not to forget, will star drives go back to being science based or push further into pixie dust territory and how long before captain nancy pants as a commanders name ie for the next expelled cadet that gets made captain of the federation of planet fleet flagsship by the commandant of that academy because he is too stupid to command a starship (well that is pretty self evident).
Will it be STEM Star Trek or liberal arts Stupid Trek. I'm betting liberal arts Stupid Trek where they strive to take the science out of science fiction not by choice simply by nature, that low IQ nature supported by nepotism nature.

Definitely smart glasses as the next big step.

Hackers of course could create havoc, putting disruptive images on your glasses, at a high risk point when you are driving for example.
It definitely would not be Einstein, stupidity is most definitely not infinite, it really does not take all the much to lead to the finiteness of death.
Close but you missed. Why does Google want https to dominate over http, simply because it get's in first. It knows what is at the https site and it knows you and it knows you have accessed that site and it can track subsequent interactions. So https disadvantages many of it's competitors, cuts them off from that information , so not about digging further into your privacy they have already dug as deeply as they can and we are filling that hole back up again as quickly as we can taking into account high levels of government corruption across the globe. This is simply a matter of what hurts their competitors advantages them, if you are not using https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck... and switched to waterfox https://www.waterfoxproject.or..., then you are a bloody idiot. Want to control Google, too fucking easy, stop using them, let them feel the punishment though, target something specific, like stop using google search and get as many others as you can to do the same and get them to share it further. Unhappy with google, then punish them, use duckduckgo, I promise it is really actually better and I still use google maps and of course not gmail, and I watch youtube, except where they broke it on my smarttv on fucking purpose to try to force me to buy chrome tv which I never will and I set cookies session only for google thus am always logged out, until I log in temporarily. They area a pretty shit company and totally no worthy of customer loyalty, use them, abuse them, get sick of them and toss them aside, as you see fit.
Talking about big numbers, the study in it's entirety is shallow thinking insanity. First question, are you alive or are your cells alive because suck it up folks, you are born, live and die, every single day of your life, part of you is dying and part of you is being reborn. To live in reality is to die continuously, it's just that the dying catches up and overtakes the being reborn. To go beyond cellular existence is to extend quantum conscious existence, where you cells share a quantum field state that defines the conscious you, keeps those billions of cells juggling a shared existence, as they are born, live and die.
Sometime things are never as clear as they seem. For example to control your emotions, it is always assumed that you limit them, why, from my understanding to control my emotions is to choose the ones I wish to feel and express and generally promote a sound physiological state to live pleasantly. A freeman is a slave to nothing and no on, not even their own emotions or life. Control your emotions, why wouldn't make yourself feel happy and content, why would you choose to feel nothing or let others control your emotions for you.
Do you already live forever, just a matter of relative time as a fraction of infinite space and time?
Dont be a what ever. This current beat up, this idiotic frothy circle jerk, is a manufactured event. Created by the corrupt cunts who currently control the far right corporate controlled Democrat Party. Created in backrooms smoking cigars that have been stuck in each other genitals, to keep fiscal policy off the table, so people can rant about what bodily part they are sticking in what ever orifice, scream and scream about it.

This current shite is nothing but a political show to silence workers and prevent a workers party forming in the US, same old, same old and the deep state and shadow government are right in there. Corporate PR psychopaths designed it to, lets be blunt, keep all you idiot morons down. It is a lie, an illusion, fed into empty minds by an entirely corrupt US corporate main stream media, it is a lie. No civil war, none of that shit, just the psychopath corporate douche bags desperately trying to keep workers from taking over because when they do the criminal trials will start and the cunts currently controlling the system will be kicking in the wind, not that many of them either, those psychos are so in the minority and those forces used to try to control us, will be used to destroy them (they also ain't the fucking slaves of corporate psychopaths when the psychopaths corporate started trying to treat them, like they do in made up movies, wow did they make a mistake, so tiny civil war between the entirety of the rank and file versus the corrupt political appointees and their handful of quislings).
Use as many exclamation marks as humour provides for. If you use additional exclamation marks seriously, then you are just an idiot douche marketdroid infesting some corporation is some utterly useless manner. The use of exclamation marks, like capitals, is only meant for humour, most often quite dry but humour none the less.
If you are serious, you go talk to the person in person, if it is serious enough you make that effort. Do not make a person effort, then it ain't serious and stop being a douche, the lowest kind, the kind of asshat that floods forums with advertisements.
It's called patents, artificial inflation of profit margins by corrupt corporations and governments, expect patent duration to be extended probably fifty years, corrupt government and the current one certainly is that, will deliver to the corporations regardless of the harm caused, psychopaths will be psychopaths.
It is simply advertising M$ because people think they are a pack of privacy invasive control freak cunts. So they hatch up schemes like this crap, not to generate revenue but simply attempting really fucking lame brand repair, Windows anal probe 10, good luck the brand repair, Microsoft watching you masturbate, perhaps they should consider that, when selling the privacy invasiveness of Windows or the probe, the one that controls which patch you get or if they decide to brick you computer that they own.
I seen you missed the most important bit about psychopathic capitalism, insatiable greed. No matter how much they have, they will still want more, More, MORE. Don't expect any change until we dig the psychopaths out of the system and park them in asylums.

What is the actual problem and what are the symptoms of the problem. The problem itself can also be interpreted differently based upon what is considered socially normative. This to the point that, 'is the individual sick or is society sick', the problem and the symptoms of course people behaving in an 'unhealthy' fashion, with regards to the own physical health and well as the perceptions of mental health of the society of which they are a part.
So gaming addiction a problem or simply the symptom of a problem. The problem being the need for the person to mentally escape from their society due to the negative interactions they have with their society and seeking that escape via gaming. Inherently we do live in an insane society bound by capitalism, where one persons capital worth is worth more than an infinite number of other people's lives (the police can kill one, or ten or one hundred, one thousand etc. people to stop them robbing a building with other people's money even when no lives are under threat). We oppose the existence of our own species for greater capital worth, that is psychopathic and insane, it just is. Hence it creates negative social interactions which drive many to escape, whether via computer games, drugs, alchohol or even suicide.
The cure for society is clear, the removal of psychopathy (psychopathic capitalism) from it's makeup, it is the problem, gaming addiction is just one of many symptoms.
Simply a matter of industrial economic development. Clearly the India government wants to promote the manufacture of solar panels in India for export to the rest of the world in very large volumes. So it is seeking to promote the development of major very high production level solar panel plants. So it is putting out a tender which will promote that development to fill that contract and then go on to export panels as well as fill local need at a low manufacture cost per kWh of energy produced.
This might seem a major investment but compare it to pouring similar amounts of money into the black hole of military misadventures and espionage corruption and crime promotion. The Billions going into those solar panels to provide a future economic advantage in the production of solar panels is a sound investment into the future.
So how low can the solar energy limbo bar cost per panel go before it breaks the back of say, coal as a start. This kind of investment is what will drive it and why US fossil fuel corporations fight so hard to block it's development in the US, via lobbyist corruption but will ultimately cripple the US in the future as a result of this quarters greed. Being the cheapest at making solar panels in largely automated factories will be a big thing in the future competition between nations, having the raw resources close to production facilities they will favour by regulation, will be critical.
If you have the raw resources why would you not force the export of solar panels only and not the raw materials, things will get interesting.
Computer security requires that employees be terminated from the system as quickly as possible. They simply did not build the system to quickly fix the problem and corporate consider people disposable, hence not a matter of concern.
You solve that by multiple billing companies in the same place of business. So Taxcheating company No1 to Taxcheating Company No99, the numbers buried in the fine print, the same company but different for billing and taxation purposes. Computers can do it real easy, automatically.
Wow that idea of measuring against other nations in poverty, just so wildly corrupt. Yeah we know, as far as US corporation waiting to ruthlessly exploit Puerto Rico are concerned, why don't the Pureto Ricans just fuck off and die already so we can steal the land for cents on the dollar. Yeah they refused free money and assistance or are you seriously comparing that ludicrous loans with inflated interest rates as assistance.
Rare earth mines are notoriously dirty and that is the reason for Africa not because there are not sources in the western world, Australia a good example but very expensive mines to run soundly and cleanly, can't compete with poisoning the general population in Africa with a cheap extremely dirty mine and processing facility.
This is exactly why they killed net neutrality. Now anyone who competes with them, will have their service crippled across AT&T cables, forcing AT&T users to buy their service or buy someone else's broken service, simply not enough bandwidth to run. All about monopolistic internet publishing, hi new model, say hello to the old model, brought to you by corrupt political practices and psychopathic selfishness and greed.
Nah, your just fifteen years older with changed morality, taste, knowledge and experience. Have you considered, that you have changed more than slashdot and hence you perception of it is altered, rather than slashdot having altered.
Most people do not realise the burger robot is actually an exercise in economic futility. You go to a fast food joint to eat what you do not have to cook and in many instance are probably incapable of cooking. Of course if a robot cooks it, why bother paying for the food when you can buy the robot and it cooks for you. So robot cooks, why pay someone else a profit margin, when you can have what you want, when you want it, in your own home, from fresh raw ingredients, cooked carefully and no food shenanigans.
Then there is the next choice, do you want a robot effigy of a human slave in the kitchen or do you want a robot kitchen. Why enter you kitchen ever, instead have an autochef. A cubicle with two pairs of inbuilt robotic arms (so they can fix each other), a fridge freezer and pantry with backdoors so that you can fill them and a serving portal where you pick up your freshly prepared foods, or have a simple deliver bot brings it to you. The autochef, it's two pairs of robotic arms, can touch and hence clean and even repair every part of the auto chef (the hotplates, oven, microwave, cutlery and utensil storage and all work surfaces, sinks, garbage disposal) and select from you fridge, freezer and pantry all the raw ingredients needed to make pretty much any meal. A fresh hamburger, on a fresh bun, done to perfection, your idea of perfection, or a fresh ramekin of lasagne or a fresh ground cup of coffee, you need never enter you kitchen again. Mostly spotless and fresh food always available, after the required preparation time, as long as you stock it with raw ingredients, hell autochef could order those for you and toss out old stuff, even store quality left overs for a quick snack.
So robotic kitchen, why pay someone else a massive profit to use theirs, why go to the supermarket for anything other than raw ingredients, your autochef can make everything from scratch. Everyone who can afford it will buy the autochef and takeaway food and processed food will all be in deep, deep shit. Hell fancy scientific autochef, can store and process waste to create methane to feed a microturbine to generate heat and electricity.
So takeaway food companies developing autochefs so they don't have to pay shitty worthless human beings to do the work, ultimately put themselves out of work, why fucking pay them, they think people are shit and not worth employing, well, the junk food company executives are shit and not worth employing (that is probably a lot more accurate than it should be), I want that autochef like yesterday. So question for someone like Elon Musk is which is more profitable over the long term, being first at the autochef cubicle that is installed in homes or competing with electric vehicles, that autochef, pretty much well sell for the same price as a car, be very similar in build complexity and likely quite profitable, including install costs. Size driven mainly by how many meals it can prepare at the same time. it could be relatively compact. I would pay more for an autochef than for a car, seriously.
The governing principle here is not the establishment of a mathematical theorem but societies need for that theorem. Without the need there is no need of hypothesis to establish proof and create a theory. So driven by societies need for accurate measurement, that society must have advanced sufficiently in order to make use of the theory to keep it alive, especially prior to the printing press.
Centimetres in metric countries is mainly a school thing and not used much beyond who do not do much educating beyond high school ie count to ten versus count to one hundred so 1 centimetres is 10 millimetres and of course decimetre which is really never used beyond education 1 decimetre equals 10 centimetres, again counting to ten.
Antarctica is rising because not only is there less ice pushing it down, there is more water at the equator pushing down the plates the water floats on. So we are shifting the plates across the entire manner in what is technically an unstable manner ie it does not reflect the pattern of extended term stability over the past tens of thousands of years. That can either make things temporarily more stable or in probability outcomes temporarily more unstable. So larger earlier significant tectonic events is more probable.
Methane still remain by far the greatest threat if efforts are not made to contain it, it will trigger earlier rapid sea level rise, after that a more stabilised period will occur where sea level rise is slower, that first 1m is likely to happen much sooner and faster than people think.
You forget capitalism is competition. You might as well say, I want everything that will advantage me and disadvantage everyone else, so I always win. All things being equal you compete with someone for the same job and you are both sufficiently good enough, you suffer a handicap which does give them employment advantage, they do not, well bye bye you.
All contests are artificial and governed by rules, you just want the rules changed to favour you but so does everyone else and the biggest cunts in the world today are exactly those people who changed the rules to favour their psychopathy. Don't pretend fairness in the rules of competition in capitalism, capitalism by nature is psychopathic, the rules are artificial and your capital worth is worth more than other people's lives a unlimited number of other people's lives.
I can push further with my mind, I feel no need to make a pig of my self, have more than everyone else, a rich mind is it's own reward, shame about your handicap.
To be cruel, the hula hoop made a comeback, the yoyo made a comeback, lots of fads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... made a comeback but a pet rock is still a pet rock. Twitter for attention seeks to climb up their tree and tweet out, 'my tree', 'my tree', 'my tree'. All still an exercise in narcissistic futility, which twit can get the most twits to follow them. Twitter serves no purpose better served by other means, if people did in public exactly what they did on twitter ie stand on random street corners, at random intervals, to scream at passers by and continue to do this regularly, we would lock them up.
It actually goes deeper than that. Apple has been penalised for an action that was considered illegal under consumer laws and penalised. That action was proven but that was not the only law broken. Apple in illegal bricking phones, did make illegal use of a computer network and illegal use of a person computerised product, they used the computer network illegally to make use of a product owned by the person targeted and forced the product to turn itself off permanently. That is more than just a consumer related offence, that is a prosecute table computer crime. Also end users can now jump on the civil suit wagon and sue for all provable damages caused by that now proven criminal act, Apple criminally breached contract and is no longer protected bullshit warranty clauses. For those they want to play, now the fun can really start.
It would be impossible to launch anything unarmoured or unshielded (warp space enough to go FTL, than you can warp space just enough so things tend to go around your warp field rather than through that which projects they almost warp field, probably). It would take decades to clean up and depending upon density of the fragments likely disturb the climate.
A dick brain would promote a space army because yeah porn addict dick brain. A smart person would create a space rescue force because that is the required infrastructure needed to colonise the solar system. The ability to support and rescue space craft in need done as a combined say commonwealth of earth effort. Not for president dick brain and his council, congress and senate of dick brains, nope 'War In Space' is the way they want to go because, dick brains.
ie there is only one question I want answered about Star Trek, will Klingons continue to be ugly cannibals who clad their star ships in coffin armour and behave like idiotic Hollywood ideologues or change back. Not to forget, will star drives go back to being science based or push further into pixie dust territory and how long before captain nancy pants as a commanders name ie for the next expelled cadet that gets made captain of the federation of planet fleet flagsship by the commandant of that academy because he is too stupid to command a starship (well that is pretty self evident).
Will it be STEM Star Trek or liberal arts Stupid Trek. I'm betting liberal arts Stupid Trek where they strive to take the science out of science fiction not by choice simply by nature, that low IQ nature supported by nepotism nature.
