1. Motor vehicle: depressing. No more buggy drivers. Think of the buggy whip manufacturers!
2. Let's go back to non-renewable energy sources
3. Please toss away your PC/phone/tablet immediately. Carry out your work and social interaction face to face only.

Seriously, put on your tin-foil head and get back into your cave.
Work until 70-75 to pay for it. It's not a joke... if people are in fact health enough to work at 70-75, why shouldn't they? The expectation of retiring at 60 or even 55 is unrealistic...
Ditto x10. This is the exact problem I have with my previous SD-enabled Android phone. The SD memory is treated as a secondary storage with bunch of limitations. What I find unhelpful is the way Android manages files - they're just everywhere. Not sure where to look for what, how the storage gets eaten up by who....etc.
I'd argue that automated car will be more affordable/accessible than regular car in the future, given the acceptance of a different ownership model. I.e. with automatic car you no longer need to own the car out-right. They drive to you when you need them. It could be full Uber/taxi like service or somewhere in between (shared ownership of a pool of cars within a pool of people?).
But people definitely wants their modem, serial port and built-in CD-DVD reader. Note that it is early but wireless charging is coming. Same situation for CD-DVD. There are ways to be backward compatible (e.g. plug-in car) with its lightning port. It's not very convienent but it will work. Again, when's the last time you touch your CD/DVD reader (laptop or desktop)?
I used 4, 5 and now 6Splus that I just purchased. I could have waited for the 'newer' one but definitely feared fo the removal of headphone jack. However, the same thing can be said about the CD-ROM from Macbooks. 1. CD/DVD was still widely used; 2. Many people complained (and fear) about it; 3. Digital content delivery is very early. That you pretty much know CD/DVD will fade out just don't know when. So what happen to built-in CD/DVD ROM in laptop? Apparently Apple just seems to be the major first mover (Yes they are not the "FIRST" but def. major - I also have a laptop with no CD-ROM running Windows98SE).
Not identical but similar situation: 1. Market demands for anything 'wireless/cordless' (including charging); 2. Power efficiency is improving; 3. People complained and fear about it (me included).
Heard about gmail? If people feel the pressure to produce they'll find a way to do it. They probably need to put a related law to prosecute employees that carry out those communication...
I really don't understand why iTunes is so frowned upon. As a music player, yeah maybe Winamp is great but iTune is not just a player. And for the most part it is for organizing/arrrangement/sync-ing music (and app). I have a hard time finding a good alternative...
I'm not surprised esp. when hearing 83% of Russian approve Putin https://www.washingtonpost.com.... If the citizens feel that the way of life in Russia is good, they're ok with high up people accumulating wealth and hide them. Let them be. They deserve it.
Unless a country is taking on ALL refugees, there will be somebody that get screened out. 25000 in Canada vs 10000 in US (10x country size). Go figure.
I totally agree with your sentiment on capitalism. Bigger bonus going to CEO is only part of the picture. Ultimately it is the insatiable desire for stockholders demanding growth and appreciation. Can we as a society accept a 'flat' economy? If so, how?
Can't think of it as a pure goodwill/social thing...
VC is not going to run the government. I'd be thinking what possible 'business model' there would be, say signing new-grads up for this and restrict them to study/work with certain orgs, and reap benefits there? Seems like Y combinator is already doing something similar: paying meager contribution to keep 2-3 'founders' alive while work their ass off? They are simply expanding on the idea on accelerator. Instead of working for 1 start-up and for a very short time (4 months?), they capture the best of the best and let them work in many opportunities over longer time.
Simply speculation: if people who own guns carry it like their wallet (lotion or pocket knife), they could have forgotten it last minute and simply stuff into carry-on. People would dispose lotion or even pocket knife but not guns I suppose.

If someone would copyright the word "copyright", than we don't need to hear about this stuff anymore.
Not only about abuse of power, but it will also disrupt the free market.
This summary was too long, but whatever the concept it proposes is just ludicrous.
I also happened to have a very large fusion source available for rent, btw it's much closer than the asteroid belt...
Wait a minute... is it just a big mix up (some jr. guy safely put em away) while generating some press time?
Is something people would buy :)

... non-value added things will be trumped. I.e. there's no 'value-add' for one streaming platform to another, other than exclusivity/access.

I thought phase 1 is always on animal.... no?
... and yeah.. then nobody else would develop it. This method is so freaking effective.
