Global stupidity seems a constant factor on this planet. In some social groups denial of reality is most prominent, because reality challenges their believe and there behavior.
The transaction fees are a result of stubborn stupidity by the bitcoin core developers, who insisted they had to keep the block size at a ridiculously small 1MB. That of course created high transaction fees. This is what caused the bitcoin/bitcoin-cash split.
Yes, we know why they exist.
Bitcoin-cash recently did a stress test, showing a far greater number of transactions/second with a 32MB block size.
Very good, but we're not talking about Bitcoin Cash.
Like it or not, plain old Bitcoin is the flagship cryptocurrency. If it goes down it'll take all the others with it.
The more annoying you make your system with its nagging, the less people will use it, defeating any safety advantages.
Maybe the solution is for the car to let you fall asleep, drive to a police CCTV camera, then WAKE YOU THE FUCK UP by playing a klaxon sound at full volume on all speakers. On camera.

Hot swapping the batteries is the way to go. Unload one battery pack, put a fully charged replacement in.
You can also jettison it in case of a lithium fire. :-)
Do you have any idea how many drones crash?
No, and neither do you.
Yeah, I'd like to see an automated system handle a situation like Qantas 32. Or the Hudson crash.
Fair enough, but the OP is arguing that these will need a crew of four.
With automation, maybe they only need a crew of one. They can autoland at the nearest airport if something happens to the human.
I'm sure larger versions of this will be built, too. Even two or three more passengers means a significant change in the economics.
...stuff that doesn't work, like emitting less CO2. We can't. We continue to show it, over and over.
Instead, put efforts toward something like this:
How will they power those plants? They need electricity, just saying.

Some people don't even know what reality is.
Proof: I've seen "Reality TV" shows.
I definitely don't agree with him on that the wealth of those owning fossil resources is worth more than the earth itself.
I'd like to think their wealth will decrease when the truth finally hits but of course it won't. It'll be the taxpayer picking up the bill (as usual).
this is a gamechanger.
Especially if they can make them self-flying.
The only downside would be if they take a long time to recharge the batteries.
It's almost as if you've missed all the stuff about driverless cars and pilotless 'planes that's been happening in the last decade.

...knowing you'll be able to afford a coffee and a doughnut next week?
And knowing in advance what the "transaction fee" will be.
Little tangible news can explain or justify the current crypto carnage.
Maybe it's just that people are finally starting to realize its true worth, ie. zero.
It's not much use as a currency (unless you enjoy transaction fees and like seeing your money go down in value), it's certainly not an investment.
Sell while you still can!
(oh, wait, you can't... blockchains only allow a few transactions per second so you have to join a long line of sellers)
All they want is to make sure Windows always comes pre-installed on your device. After that, they don't care.
If they 'don't care' then why don't they just listen to their customers instead of having all those "design" meetings?
It's a medical fact that buying a new Apple product produces a huge blast of Seratonin for a while.
With each purchase it lasts less, however, so you need to buy more often.
(or at least buy a lot of accessories over the next few weeks, eg. airpods, to maintain the high)
What more could they actually add to a phone?
Jealous of what, exactly?
Nope. What we need is more peop^Wcustomers.
If we can manage to double the population over the next five years then the smartphone manufacturers should see a return to previous growth figures.
But they communicate with pheromones, not Whatsapp.
I wasn't aware they had any organized terrorism there for them to spy on:

Yes, but it raises the effort level.
They don't have to write anything, it already exists.
How will it grow with no sunlight?
I avoid it because it's just a way to try to make me use Bing/Cortana.
Please, tell me where University still costs only $60,000...
Some countries actually pay you to go.
Even foreigners, you can can to a country and get your degree and get paid to do it.

Do you wear a raincoat in the shower?
I did some research, too. Milkweed is apparently the only type of plant the caterpillars can eat. No milkweed=no butterflies.
Maybe we need some land dedicated to milkweed.
