Engines have improved a lot in the last 40 years but they aren't going to get dramatically better. If you want to realize significant fuel efficiency gains you will have to go to something based on a different technology. Most likely that will be electric motors whether in the form of a hybrid or EV. No general purpose ICE can touch an electric motor for fuel economy at a given horsepower in most circumstances.
People were saying that back in the 90s. Heck, they were saying that in the late 70s.
Copyright keeps getting extended. People are locked out of fixing their own equipment. How could anyone possibly say that western countries are weakening their IP protection.

Sometimes. We've got well respected universities around here pumping out master's degrees in CS that amount to two years of introductory courses in different languages.
"Gravity Wave", here, means a wave wherein the restoring force is gravity, such as waves on the ocean. It is not the same as the cosmological gravity waves caused by coalescing black holes sought by the LIGO experiment.
I don't have Prime and Amazon have become terrible about shipping quickly. I think they are trying to punish me into buying prime. Instead I have started purchasing from eBay.
3rd largest but only a fourth the size of the U.S. GDP with 1/2 the population. In 1990 Japan's GDP was 75% the size of the U.S. GDP at the time. The robots didn't help them keep up.

I'm trying to think of a job that requires knowledge in all three of those areas.
Arduino?
That's how freedom works. People are constantly working to take it away so people need to constantly working to maintain it.
Their employees would rather work from home than in on a folding table in a gymnasium? Who'da thunk?

At least you're not an elitist.

Presumably one would send the new battery to people to whom this has not yet occurred.

No way. My eBay orders have been shipping within hours while Amazon has been taking 2 or 3 days. Ebay seller's prices are usually lower, too.
I agree. And the best way to print out your boarding pass while travelling is to use the Southwest kiosk at the airport.

But sure, call it "rogue robots" and "killing"...
That bothers me less than referring to the relationship between the robot and the woman as "colleagues".

I left school with my STEM degree thirty years ago and I assure you it was difficult to get a job right out of school back then as well.
fast food prices keep going up and up and portions keep getting smaller and smaller....
This is the exact opposite of my experience.
If only there were some way to transmit the power to a place with hills...
You subtract it because P(A) + P(B) over counts by P(A and B)
Advertisers don't want you to know this weird trick for stopping click-bait discovered by Wisconsin Mom.
the "flash crash" of 2010 was exacerbated by loss of liquidity as automatic traders pulled out because volatility exceeded parameters.
Humans panic. Computers don't.
Boy. That sure looks like what happens when humans panic. If the result is the same, what's the difference?
