Exactly. Since one thing is possible, all things are possible, because technological progress is inevitable. Eventually we will have internal combustion engines that never break down, and run on zero fuel. We just need to sit back and wait.
They are anti-social and think they will live in space/Mars with a new society of enlightened people. They don't care about this planet. I call them "Space Nutters".
What if hackers took control of a Tesla and caused it to crash into a lane divider barrer? Or crash into a firetruck? It is better to find those exploits now, before they happen in real life.
Anything that comes from a DC based consultant needs to be discarded completely. These guys are paid to come up with "conclusions". I would say the same thing about a guy who said that wind power was the only way.
He doesn't know what he is talking about. These types of "consultants" are out to make money pushing an agenda. There is no coincidence that the professor at AU: that is a Washington DC based university. I guarantee that professor is part of a "think tank" or a "consultant" in DC. You guys are so innocent.
Yes, I agree. Rather than staring at it for 30 minutes she should have just erased it. But Millenials are a bunch of drama queens and most likely she was doing it for social media attention. However, writing that crap on a whiteboard at a conference is inappropriate. There are women present - it isn't a frathouse.
I am pretty sure she said that the use of #metoo was making light of sexual assault victims, not that it was assault, but she uses Twitter and anyone who uses Twitter is an idiot so you might be right. The point is: time to grow up. Go ahead and make "bad taste" jokes about boobies all you want, but do it in private, not at a conference where normal humans are present. No one else wants to hear your garbage. It isn't harmless, because it is idiotic and idiots like you bring the entire human race down.
#metoo is a hashtag used by sexual assault victims. To use in another context trivializes the meaning. But the point is guys: time to grow up and learn some manners. I blame it on parents who never taught their children what is appropriate. Why write "boobies" and #metoo on a whiteboard at a conference? It isn't a frat house. It is just stupid. Yeah, we get it, you like boobs. So do 4 billion other people.
It isn't about just "standing up" either. In this day and age, people can find out where you live and your contact information and harass you and your family. They can also get you fired from your job. The best thing to do is not to engage with the perpetually offended types, although in this case she has a point. Who would write #metoo on a whiteboard next to "boobies"? It is rather disrespectful. People need to grow up.

You don't know that. The source is closed and it all goes through their servers.

Did they fire the female robots or the male ones?

Actually I agree here. The OP modded +5 Insightful??? Remove 2 billion from the planet? The only way to do that is to kill them.

Why not just chuck it in a landfill and get the next $1000+ model? The "green" tech companies would love you to do that.
This won't ever be built. The era of big physics is over.
Oh crap. Anyone know how to delete posts here
Not true. They pay me in rubles.
Not sure what you guys are talking about. America is pretty awesome.
You don't need to plaster the US with that much wind and solar. It would take about a HALF of a percent to power the nation.

Exactly. If you go to the Midwest you will see wind farms. That is the future. Wind and Solar with batteries.
A guy with a PhD in Nuclear Physics (and a consultant) thinks we should use nuclear power. Amazing stuff.
Time to grow up.
You were the kid in elementary school who said "but teacher, he did it first! Unfair!", right?
No thanks. If you are an asshole I am going to tell you about it. Sorry snowflakes. Time to grow up.

Maybe your parents should have told you that writing "boobies" on a whiteboard at a conference isn't what grown ups do.

Actually she was offended by that someone wrote #metoo next to "boobies". Personally I think she has a point.
