And that criticism has been brought up by physicists. You probably aren't going to get this based off of your post, but for others who are interested, in physics, many of the theories proposed are given weight first by the mathematical symmetries that they reveal, hinting they might be based in reality. That is the current state of string theory. The math looks very compelling. What makes it a theory is not that it hasn't been validated, but that it is TESTABLE. If a test can not be devised, then it is not a theory. In the case of string theory, we think we can test it, if only colliders with high enough energy existed (google string phenomenology).
This whole article is prime fodder for the wing nuts. I'm just waiting for it to hit the "true believer" communities as a possible explanation for telepathy.
This rationale only works when one assumes that corporations will be spending all of the wealth they amass, and not banking it or moving it to other countries. Money in the bank does not get sent back into the economy at large. It's important to tax broadly to prevent people finding syphons to squirrel away all the money.
Someone has been watching law & order while they eat their pudding. As a matter of fact, unsurprisingly, there is no constitutional guarantee to a phone call. Further, not all states have any laws regarding them. In most jurisdictions whether you get a phone call is completely left to the discretion of the police. The reason for this should seem obvious, is you could call someone and warn them that the police are onto them.
Additionally, due to a supreme Court ruling, you are only granted access to a lawyer after judicial proceedings have been initiated against you. Not at the time of arrest.
Just for the record, I'm not saying I'm for or against the idea of public arrest notices. I think a good case could be made that they are not serving the purpose for which they are intended.
But when somebody pops in and snidely tries to play off some TV tropes as if they are law, I think people deserve to know the facts.
This is why I say every kindergarten teacher needs a flamethrower and a pitbull! I mean, when it inevitably gets misused, the grieving parents will have someone to BLAME, and I think we can all agree that's the most important thing.
It's not completely to vilify people that arrests are public record. The alternative is a government with the power to arrest and detain you without anyone knowing. As much as it sucks to have your arrest on display, it's better than being "disappeared."
Pretty much this entire post supposes that you know the limit of future automation technology. It may not be soon, but there may well be cheap programs in the future that can take over pretty much everything a human is good at. Amazon echo is a crude first step in eliminating a huge number of those service jobs to which you refer. The cost of technology has a very consistent pattern of coming down. The power and versatility of technology has a very consistent trend of increasing.
Human capability, however, does not. Automation only has to surpass your personal capabilities in all of your realistic career options. Let's assume that a computer will never write good enough music to fill a concert, or be funny enough to host a talk show (which I wouldn't automatically assume as a given), are you capable of doing those things? Even if you are, is everyone else? There will almost certainly come a day in which there is no task that a human can perform as capably, efficiently, and consistently as a computer.
Which brings us to the very real possibility that we will all, some day soon, be unemployable. Now as you say, we can "fix" that through legislation, but how long before people figure out that they could free themselves from work altogether if we adopt a new social order?
So, I am looking at the entirety of comments under this post, and it seems to be making fun of his marketing, not his intentions. At this point, not even the obligatory AC shitposters have chimed in with anything. I believe TDS is a real thing, but it only seems to effect those who feel the need to loudly defend him. Have you thought about... you know... not being a reactionary hysteric?
Of course. Not one woman has ever drowned her kids in a bathtub.
Not with the supervision and consent of 3 doctors. Did you read the bill, or just ignore that part? Stop feeling your way through public policy issues and start THINKING your way through them.
That's weird. I heard it on NPR. The day it happened. They actual audio of the quote. And then again when the "infanticide" mischaracterizations started up. Maybe you should try listening to some of their podcasts, like Up First and Weekend Edition. I find them extremely non biased sources of news. Though maybe not as entertaining as an AM radio pundit.
The quote actually uses the word "non-viable." As in can't be saved by medical science. Aa in a baby born with Sirenomelia, who doesn't have the body parts needed to survive. Some babies just cant survive without an umbilical cord. With the proper care, we can tell this in advance. And forcing a lady to carry it to term is just cruel to her, and the baby, as once it is born the only thing that will happen is that it will die, slowly and painfully.
This is why we can't make any headway on this issue. Because people believe in this mythical boogeyman that is going to go through the pain and discomfort of carrying a baby for 9 months and decide ON THE FUCKING BIRTHING TABLE that they don't want it and it should just be killed, as opposed to giving it up for adoption. It's ridiculous. It's a fairy tale.
I used to think it was lack of education on the issue, but now I am convinced that people believe this shit, or are comfortable with lying about it for the "greater good."
I swear, I just wish medical science would come up with a different term for removing a dead foetus from the womb so we could stop talking about these "late term abortions."
A neutron star is basically a giant nucleus, so it is technically an element.
Not by a long shot. Neutron stars are made up of neutron degenerate matter which is a press of multiple neutrons into an incredibly dense material. The neutrons are still separate and do not merge into one. Even the neutrons present can not be described as an element since they lack the other key features of an element, namely protons and electrons.
Your hypothesis is novel, but lacks a basic understanding of the phenomenon.
That might work in a society with no credit at all, but deflation would be devastating for most people. Lets say you own a house that cost $200,000, and you are paying a 30 year mortgage on. Now lets say your currency, over a number of years, deflated 5%. I.E. every dollar now purchases $1.05 worth of goods compared with a few years ago. Congratulations, your house is now worth $190,000 but you are still paying $200,000. This is one of the reasons why the fed avoids deflation at all cost.
Notice how the comment above assumes that people choose not to get health care because they are greedy, and not because they desperately need the money that would go to those premiums just to make it to the next paycheck.
Yeah, Trump is famous for his wit. I would say that the factual reporting, er, I'm sorry "hit pieces", should probably keep coming until people stop defending the stupid shit he does.
Strangely, I was thinking the opposite. For a while I have been assuming that this will be the presidency that makes us rethink how much power a single man should be invested with. Levying tariffs against Canada for reasons of national defense? The threat of using the US army on american soil for a construction project? While the powers themselves might make sense in genuine emergencies, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism to prevent their misuse, and clearly the senate and congress have been unwilling to provide oversight.
Fundamentally I agree with this, I would like to point out that having brain access to something that recorded perfectly what you saw and heard, access to the internet, and a few ai programs that were trained to solve spacial acuity problems would pretty much guarantee that you blew any iq test that you took out of the water.
Personally, I don't believe that I.Q. test are a conceit that we will look back on like phrenology, but I know a lot of people on here believe in them. I just wanted to underscore that the future might be full of high I.Q. idiots.
Like most things i have been taught in my life, it doesn't surprise me that there is more to the story, however, based solely off what you have quoted, I would say it reinforces the central message of my post. Insect reproduction is highly dependent on environmental changes.
You should probably ask anyone who farms or hunts. In my neck of the woods, everyone can tell you the difference a "cold winter" or "hot summer" will make in insect populations. Particularly the ones that like to eat you or your crops. Many insect eggs are very delicate, either laid in shallow pools that dry up, or at very specific locations where small temperature/humidity variations will make them non-viable. Usually the species are healthy because they lay a LOT of eggs, but eventually, tipping points will be reached.

Nobody in your knitting circle, maybe, but climate scientists can explain that graph pretty well these days.
That was written by this guy. Respectfully, you might want to check your sources more carefully from now on.

It's a service. If you break or throw away the container, they can charge you. Do you even think before you post these things?

mild deflation cements the stability.
That might work in a society with no credit at all, but deflation would be devastating for most people. Lets say you own a house that cost $200,000, and you are paying a 30 year mortgage on.

I remember this joke on the playground the very next day.
Were Christa McAuliffe's eyes blue? Yes, one blew this way, and the other blew that way.
Did I do the math right, that's like $133,000 a job? Wonder what percentage of that makes it to the workers?
Notice how the comment above assumes that people choose not to get health care because they are greedy, and not because they desperately need the money that would go to those premiums just to make it to the next paycheck.

All I need the chip to be is fast access to an external device. The kind I can turn off or reboot if I need/want to. The ai can run on that.
Fundamentally I agree with this, I would like to point out that having brain access to something that recorded perfectly what you saw and heard, access to the internet, and a few ai programs that were trained to solve spacial acuity problems would pretty much guarantee that you blew any iq test that you took out of the water.
