We will have a manned outpost on the Moon soon, and Musk will have his Mars colony up and running soon too. It is time to start thinking about this. Also, once we put factories in space they will need to be defended.
Unless you make a road where ALL the cars are self-driving and are maintained separately just for self-driving cars then it will never become reality. Self-driving is one of those engineering problems where the first 90% is achievable, but the last 10% is not. The end of Moore's Law has put a further nail in the coffin since you cannot count on exponentially increasing processor power.
Why is Bill Gates spending his billions on trying to improve life here on Earth? He should be building rockets to take us OFF Earth. We don't want to be stuck on this rock in a gravity well forever. What if an asteroid hits? We will all die. And why bother teaching people here on Earth anyway? We can just send the brightest of those on Earth to the stars. It is our destiny.
Support Free Software, not just Open Source. Forget trying to make Free software corporate friendly. Look what happened when the OSI did that, it backfired and now we live in a closed digital ecosystem built on open source fuondations. Bruce was wrong and RMS is right.
Stop calling it AutoPilot. It is just drivers assist, just like every other car manufacturer puts in their high end vehicles. Now every jerk thinks they can fall asleep in their Tesla while cruising down the highway.
Yes we do. If there is a murder, burglary, mugging it is going to be "detected" and reported no matter where it occurs by the populace. The only crimes that won't get reported are minor violations (traffic, etc). Police rarely detect crimes - they respond to crimes after they happen.
That really makes no sense for most crimes. Look at murder or burglary: it doesn't matter if police are in the neighborhood "noticing crimes" or not, it is going to get reported equally theoretically. The only way that applies is for victimless crimes. Traffic violations aren't going to be reported unless a police notices it.
That isn't where institutionalized learning came from. The idea of institutionalized learning was to create a ruling class, not factory workers. Do you think factory workers were educated? Institutionalized learning came way before factories.
It isn't just a piece of paper. The idea is that there is some minimum standard required to achieve in order to become a engineer/priest/whatever. There is nothing wrong with gate-keeping.

With enough vodka I do it in 10.
And politicians don't really care about their constituents or the country. And SJWs really don't care about equality. The list is endless.
Google?

Why would you launch a military strike from the Moon? Wouldn't it be easier to launch a strike....from Earth?
Exactly. It makes more financial sense to mine ore from Mars than on....Earth.
What is the strategic use of the moon and planets? Please explain without using scifi or references to any Heinlein novel.
Elon Musk will have his Mars Colony up and running by then.

Who? What? Why?
Who checked the NHSTA analysis (or Tesla's). No one.
Sometimes I have a few drinks and fall asleep too. I mean thats why I got a Tesla. Saves me on cab fees.

Nah, the average is 17 micro SV per day according to the EPA.
No, the exclusion zone is fine. I was just making a comment. It isn't a surprise that people live in some of the areas.
We know. Americans are smart enough to know more than one system of measurements. Only Europeans can't seem to grasp the concept.
The average American gets 17 microsieverts per day. Most of the exclusion zone has way less than that.

You are nuts. Do you think people go to seminary in the hope that they become prophets?
There are other taxes than the corporate income tax. Amazon is paying those taxes.
