We're already spending an awful lot of money on social services that won't be needed if people had a guaranteed basic income. It's rather duplicitous of this think tank to pretend that it would be an entirely new cost, rather than a replacement for other programs as it is intended.
Repeat after me, if the bad apples remain after being found, it is not just a few bad apples. Everyone is complicit.
You do realize the saying is not, "Feel free to leave the bad apples there, so long as only a few of them are moldy and oozing juices all over the others it doesn't matter because the rest remain good." You're only allowed to call them "a few bad apples" without looking like a moron, if they are treated like bad apples are treated.
the chances of sharing just eight dimensions with someone else are less than one in a trillion. Even with 7.4 billion people on the planet, that's only a one in 135 chance that there's a single pair of doppelgangers.
Francois Brunelle has photographed more than 200 pairs of doppelgangers
Maybe his math stinks and he decided to pretend that all the variables are independent because that's easier than reality.
Probably a few decades after they make malware that does that with child pornography. Although on a smaller scale, trolls could share some tinyurl links (or other link shortener that turns the link into concise gibberish), and hackers could share such a link from a hacked famous person's account.
Eventually, lab-grown meat-like mystery goo will be better tasting, cheaper, healthier, disease/parasite-free, nicely textured, and more conveniently shaped compared to meat grown from real live animals tortured in cramped, feces-covered pens. Also when compared to grass-fed, free-range, hippie-approved animals. Everyone will be eating it except for a few crazy people.
Of course, in the beginning it will be over-priced, foul-tasting paste.
Piracy isn't free. For just one example, many people feel a tiny bit of guilt over not supporting the creators, enough so that some will buy the product after testing it, or will even buy a legal copy first and then pirate the improved quality (DRM-free) version. Another example is the time spent searching and other conveniences that are worth more than $1 per song to people, and for practical purposes unavailable to pirates.
Neither of those are absolute, of course, and people might be unwilling to support an author for ideological reasons (evil company, hate IP, fear of supporting a crap product), or it might be difficult/impossible to purchase something legitimately but easy to pirate.
bullshit. if energy in < energy out, you'll lose weight. DNA cannot stop physics.
But biology can stop energy deficits. In fact, biology's main design feature is to ensure that energy in > energy out on average, on penalty of extinction.
However, mind can overcome biological urges, either through sheer willpower or by manipulating biology (eg some foods may be miscalculated by the body in the energy in measurement).
It's an irrelevant question. If someone was visually handicapped they almost certainly wouldn't have been able to avoid being automatically "upgraded". It's hard enough for non-handicapped people to avoid the "upgrade".
How much are you willing to bet that Facebook doesn't receive National Security Letters with a gag order instructing them to voluntarily remove dangerous content? Just because Facebook can legally censor, doesn't mean that the censorship Facebook is doing is in fact legal, and even if it were it doesn't mean we have to approve of it.
I'd expect that (in large planes) the autopilot could land the plane, but that usually the pilot would land the plane when conditions are good, while if conditions are bad he'd have the autopilot land.
The study claims the Nordic Hyperloop would start generating a surplus after 10 years thanks to its economic benefits.
So, it might pay for itself after 30 years (taking into account the construction will be late and over budget). And that's if nothing goes terribly wrong with the 300 mile vacuum tube with the 650 mph, multi-ton projectile hurtling through it.

They do say that power corrupts, especially if also exposed to moisture.

Maybe he disabled the annoying hands-are-off-the-wheel reminder, just not in the way he intended.

The leader asked if anyone knew a nice target.
It could just as well be that they set the wrong baseline for obesity for men and women.
In unrelated news, men are 3 times less likely than women to care about their weight.
study found that 60% of the world's porn was hosted in America
I knew America was still number 1 at something.

So why is he pretending to be stupid?
People are stupid, and also lazy.

Legality =/= Morality

I like Elon, electric vehicles, and autonomous vehicles. But I hope they get hit hard for calling their adaptive cruise control feature "autopilot".
Real headline: Having a coworker's password doesn't mean having the boss's permission.
that the company claimed could detect hundreds of diseases using a single drop of blood.
bleeding edge bio-tech
Too bad it turned out to be bleeding edge marketing, and now people are out for blood.
I agree with most of what you said, but I'm pretty sure the Hyperloop is, ahem, a pipe dream. At least for now.
Something to reflect on.
