Basically all food is trying to kill you in some way.
Are we saying that plants evolved the production of nitrates to make us die of cancer 50 years after eating it? That doesn't sound like a particularly effective defense.
we eat other lifeforms who themselves don't want to be eaten.
Fruit is delicious food with seeds inside specifically intended by the plant to be eaten and distribute the seeds (hopefully inside manure). How could you possibly conclude it doesn't want to be eaten?
You could have a reader app that went around to all your friends blogs, pulled data, and let you view a unified stream (like Facebook). You might want the blogs to use a standardized API for delivering that, but it doesn't seem too hard. The "normal" web page could just have what you want to be public (and the scrapers could only see that). With authorization through the API, identifying you as a friend, it could deliver more. You could even post content limited to selected people. It could be nice.
Sadly, if this is used to store excess solar and wind energy, you'll be making heat during the day and cold at night, the opposite of what would be useful.
Duh! A group will send you an email asking you to write to the FCC and they give you some boilerplate example of what to say and people cut and paste that into their message. That doesn't make it fraud.
Here's something that you could do on a ship, autonomous or not. At the highest point on the ship (crows nest) you could have high-powered telescopes with video and A.I. analysis constantly scanning the horizon for people in disabled/life boats.
It would be nice to have a search engine that WORKED! None of them do.
I search with terms like "+WORD" which means "do NOT show me any search results that don't have WORD in it" and I get a million results and NOT ONE of them have "WORD" on it.

What makes intestines any more disgusting than muscles?
In situ they are filled with shit.

My robots.txt tells them to fuck off but they keep coming back. I reply with 403 Forbidden.
I'd be surprised if it only uses one address, or even a particular block of addresses.
I block 66.102.7.*. If I see more I add it to list.

I think it would be harder to turn this into profits. Even if evil Faceboogle scraped it, if they aren't serving the ads, what good is it?
Just keep hitting reload until it comes up. Hitting it every few seconds should teach that server a lesson.
Google absolutely does honor robots.txt.
Nice to know, but just to be safe you can always block the spider's IP address.
They wouldn't harvest my clicks.
I would think having more time off might translate into more time to shop. Good for the economy (not that I'm in favor of consumerism).
They specifically said 32 hour week.
OK, fine. You are using a device based on Linux.
Lets shelf this idea until we've unleashed Fusion , or big space-mirror power or something that means "B" doesn't matter anymore
But making crypto-mining cheap and easy destroys it.

Don't the IEDs detonate on the first vehicle? Wouldn't you want at least one autonomous vehicle in front of the human?

If we can have armed flying drones that decide to fire on their own we can certainly have automated guns on ships to shoot pirates.
"Two-way charging"? You mean I can take the massive power in the phone's battery and send that out to the grid, like with solar? Way cool.
They've told us that meat production is unsustainable and in the future we will have to eat insects.
Maybe that prediction won't come true after all.
Unlike a conventional QWERTY keyboard, Tap required me to think a lot, because I had to tap my fingers in not-very-intuitive combinations
I'm sure the first time you typed on a QWERTY keyboard it was anything but intuitive! Try Tap for a year then tell us about it.

Web search is useless and broken.
Recursive acronym: Bing Is Not Google.
That's the last fucking thing in the world that I want, but thanks for trying.
