But, you won't get paid any more for that. Well, not without some clever manipulations. We all heard the story of the guy who clocked two full time jobs in two departments of the same company.
Rather, wealth accumulates to the top _in spite of_ inflation. (Regulation works both ways.) If you ignore all government influence except for establishment of a stable currency, wealth will accumulate automatically due to the time value of money. Pretty much anyone who has positive net worth is accumulating money. Anyone who is in debt (say, with a mortgage) or is renting is paying money to those with positive wealth. You'd have to try pretty hard to not play this game. (Don't have any bank accounts.) Money begets interest. Land begets rent. Stocks produce gains. Inflation works against wealth accumulation.
Basically, robots are capital investments, so whoever owns the robots will profit. The rest of us will starve or work in various entertainment or art industries, bankrolled by rich benefactors, if we're lucky. The rich will have more wealth than they need, and will have to figure out how to waste it.
A doctor tells me that hospitalization for having objects stuck in the anus from people "falling" on them is fairly common, and they have a drawer full of stuff pulled out of people's asses. I have no idea why they would keep those things.
Future scenario: Hedge Fund A senses a rise in the cost of molybdenum in Canada, and issues a buy offer to Hedge Fund B in Cayman over the FTL link, which arrives 20 ns ago. B, sensing the increased demand, decides to purchase 1000 tons of moly from A. This order arrives 20 ns earlier at A, causing the cost of moly to rise, and causing a cascade which destroys the universe.
No, the US cannot do that, because the US operates on democracy and free trade, and the powers that be can't simply just invoke sanctions on China just because they are getting too powerful. No, the people won't stand for government blocking sale of cheap ipods. And, China is definitely expanding their markets outside of the US..
If I search for something and find what I want, I'm satisfied, and I'm not going to bother pressing +1. On the other hand, I have seen some bad matches turn up; I would rate them -1 but there wasn't an option for that.
I expect that the technology that enables this function would be patentable, and the technology is not described in any sort of detail in Frank Herbert. This is very much contrasted with Apple's Ipad patent which is just a guy holding a rectangle.
They didn't lose the game. They won. We lost. It's not like normal people had any say in the bailout decisions. AFAIK, polls showed that the bailouts were extremely unpopular. But we don't live in a democracy.
0.5% transaction fee? Collected by whom? NYSE? It sounds like you are killing one scam by building a bigger scam. Pretty soon NYSE will make the banks look like paupers.
I sometimes use google to calculate something for me, like sqrt(2*(4 electron volts)/(3 AMU)). I don't care about the matches. Google has succeeded for me. Or, I use google to define: something. I don't need to visit a website, because google gives me the answer. Also, google gives me excepts for each of the matches. Sometimes this will answer my question, without needing to visit the website. How is that a failure?

Then you'll have nothing left.
probably more like 99%
The idea isn't to eliminate bloodshed. The idea is to eliminate bloodshed on our side. The robots aren't targeting robots.

The article says "clock in", which I suppose means that's how much they admit to doing.
Ironic, rebuilding houses after disasters that won't stand up to future disasters.
What you said is not inconsistent with what I said. When I said stocks produce gains, I didn't necessarily mean US stocks.
Money isn't a finite resource, but wealth is. There's a finite amount of useful stuff that can be generated on planet Earth.

Well, then, we just need to be operating near zero temperature.

I'm not sure. From what I can tell, it takes a lot of work and lots of long hours to produce nothing of value.
Come on, it's not fair to say we don't make things. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-01-29/news/27738306_1_gas-egypt-protesters

support for mounting ext2, ext3, reiser, bfs, xfs, and whatever mac is using.
Well, by that definition, Windows: Pirate Edition is freeware.
