I miss my G1 phone with QWERTY keyboard. My ex "borrowed" it, then sold it to someone else. I've been waiting for someone to make a similar phone, that you can touch type instead of having to look at the screen to make sure your finger is in the right place.
Here we see a brilliant strategy by Apple: put a useless "feature" into a phone, watch all the Chinese manufactures rush to copy that feature, then discontinue your own phone with that useless feature and leave the copycats with millions of units they can't sell! How many months before Apple ships the replacement for the iPhone X, without the notch and and with a headphone plug?
The productivity paradox is simple: every time a new technology is adopted, there is a short-term DROP in productivity as people struggle to learn how to use the new technology. You need to stick with the new technology for a few years before people are sufficiently trained in it to actually by more productive. That being said, it shouldn't take that long for people to become adept at using the new technology.
I suggest a new service, Uberman, an app that has a person come to your door and carry you on their shoulders to your destination that you should have walked to in the first place, you lazy slug! No increase in congestion from this one!
Police need to take every call seriously and at least do a welfare check; that isn't going to change. We weed to be able to easily trace all calls back to their origin. I get calls from scammers using spoofed caller id all the time. How do I know they are spoofing the caller id? Because the first 6 digits of their number is the same as my own number -- and I don't know anybody with a number similar to mine. Also seems like a stupid strategy to convince you that one of your neighbors is calling, since my cell phone humber just indicates where I lived 15 years ago, not where I live now!
Shouldn't mine labor be the FIRST occupation to be completely replaced by automation? Robots don't steal, robots never need to come back up to the surface, robots can work in 200 degree heat, and people don't get too upset when a mine roof collapses on a bunch of robots. (They get even less upset when a mine collapses on a bunch of lawyers, but there are some things even a lawyer won't do.)
So he's solved the liability problem by requiring all the flying cars that fall out of the sky be owned by other people, so he doesn't get sued personally? I'm sure making them safe will be a much higher priority than corporate profits!
"SC" is now an acronym for the Second Amendment? Or are you just illiterate? And 17 dead in Parkland might just be the straw that broke the NRA's back.

And there is NO WAY anybody will figure out how to use an anonymous proxy service to get around this fee!
Why assume the predator is always a man and the victim is always a girl?

Is he suing for $10 billion in bitcoin, or $10 billion in real money?
Certainly not better SUPPORTED than the other two, if they keep abandoning it then changing their mind.
Poe's law, dude!
Ban business models based on evading the taxes usually paid for a service to get a competitive advantage, e.g. Uber and AirBNB.
Have you paid for parking downtown lately? At some point, it becomes cheaper to pay for Uber than it does to pay to park your own car!
Doesn't BART actually work? At least for commuting across the bay? Doesn't Caltran work for commuting between Palo Alto and SF?

And greatly increase the jail time for false reports, yes. I think about a year behind bars might discourage most people.
Now imagine how much worse it is when you get that knock on the door, and you are a young black man.

How is that? Illegals can't vote. Didn't they explain how U.S. elections work when you went to school in Moscow?
Cue Trump blaming Obama for the problem in 3... 2... 1...
All the top players will receive employment offers from the Banana Republicans!
Take a look at the Google Earth picture of Stonehenge... and tell me what time the picture was taken.
But, but, but... what about the baby robots???
