  1. So, your saying you were full of shit in the first place. Good enough.

    Promises, promises.

    I don't believe they will ever cut any other programs.

    When you assume an answer you want, all you prove is you're not too bright.

    Classic example of new jobs. Massage, 30+ years ago massage places were all 'rub and tugs', today that's a small % and there are 'legit' massage places everywhere.

    The frequently used concrete example of 'useless idiots' is the US military. The bottom 10% of the population is too stupid to be useful to the military, but that's not the same thing as the bottom 10% is too stupid to support themselves in civilian life. The world continues to need human ditch diggers, even with automated ditch diggers being a near perfected technology.

    The poor are getting wealthier too, just not as fast as the rich. Which is why that site is so _full_of_shit_.

    What do I call that?

    A biased agenda based website, with an article that _isn't_ on point...any other questions?

  6. 60k? Fuck! Cut the benes, today! That's fucking outrageous.

  9. It's time to legalize it, but that's because the alternatives (untested analogs) are worse and impossible to control.

    Just let the coke heads know it's being excreted unmetabolized and they will drink their own pee.

    Tweaks in jail fight to drink the pee of recently arrested tweakers.

    Don't even start on psychedelic guru pee, fucking hippies.

    SF? Techno capital?

    No. Just no. That's SanJose...Perhaps Berlin, if your talking about the _shitty_ music.

  13. There are no housed poors left in SF. Hunter's Point was the last of it. It's in the middle of being dozed and redeveloped into yuppie housing.

    You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. The poors use the net to watch videos that make them dumber. Tell them: "It's all someone else's fault!"

    One problem with the net, it lets fuckwits find each other, reinforce their stupidity via circle jerk (e.g. Antifa).

  14. Liar. You should check the immigration requirements.

    Your countrymen are voting with their feet. Bet there are more here than Americans living in your nation.

  15. We do encourage legal immigration of skilled and educated, just like the rest of the world.

    People still vote for the USA with their feet, almost certainly, your countrymen prefer America to your nation. I understand you're in denial about this...work on that.

  16. What? Just wrong. That works for officers in a military. For congress critters/cops, having the entire population being criminals is a _feature_.

    Everybody commits 3 felonies/day. Once you accept it, it's much less stressful.

    Weird scenarios are very uncommon.

    Unless you captured a _buttload_ of sensor data, you'd overtrain for the few you caught.

    A major car manufacturer will need to capture years worth of 'entire production line' worth of autonomous car grade data. Then curate the accidents and near accidents into a trainable set.

    Then your still left with an AI that can't infer intent, at best, immediate course.

    Norway isn't big enough to have their own commercial aircraft industry.

    Where will they fly in/out of? Those are the regulations they will live by.

    Boneyard operators don't even really want the near dead. Those are captive markets...if they're dumb enough to waste lots of money on a corpse they are coming anyhow.

    What they want is someone with decades left, so they can make additional money running trusts. Also they think they will rollup whole families by selling one member.

    You don't know ANYTHING about aerodynamics do you? It is obvious.

    To say nothing of the low wing loading, it won't be able to fly in any significant wind. Not that a Cessna 170 flies through hurricanes.

    Also they expect passenger service by 25...That gives them 7 years to get something commercially viable done and type approved. I doubt the EU's version of the FAA is that quick.

    Also looks like enough room for a gas engine in the nose, isn't one of the points of electric engines that they're smaller and can give improved front visibility? I think this is a conversion, like a Tesla roadster 1.
