These massive internet companies create things that hundreds of millions of people come to depend on but they have the right to pull the plug any time they want to based on business needs. When do they actually become obligated to continue a service they provide? When are they a utility? Congress should look to the subject.
And a further thought occurs: Is it even "damage" that they are seeing? Could it be part of memory storage or some other necessary function that is not damage repair but is being mis-characterized as that?
For one, does caffeine cause brain damage by keeping us awake? Does caffeine affect the sleep we do get and does it therefore interfere with the DNA repair process? Why is it that sometimes we can sleep few hours and wake feeling more refreshed than when we sleep for more hours? Does the repair process take place more quickly for some reason we are not aware of during the smaller sleep period? Will humanity be able to create a drug that supports rapid DNA repair in the brain and thus lower the amount of time we actually need to be asleep? Do the sleep states indicate what parts of the brain the DNA repair process is taking place in, or does that process take place all at once in all areas of the brain? What is a nap?
You have to double the cost from 36 million to 72 million and expect a long delay in implementation and it won't work the way they said it would or at all and they will have to scrap it in the end and go back to paper and pencils because they tossed out the old system. Real world.
Now, and surely more certainly in the future, the information demanded in this law will allow others to become you absolutely anytime they want to. Name, address, social security number, even DNA - what else is left that defines you as you? Hackers will have a field day. We Americans have lost the belief that freedom should cost anything in our daily lives. We are willing to give up freedom, privacy and rights if we think we can attain some minor level of safety and protection by doing so. Those who strive for more power over Americans know this and use this cowardice.
How about it does not lend itself to our continuing survival? Lenin said that capitalists will sell you the rope to hang you with. We should add to that that consumers will buy the rope, then give it to you to hang them with. It is time to get back to the understanding of the true evil of communist China.
He was insane. In the tube era the requirements for power were enormous and could not have been supplied over the air by his facility. And considering that the transmitted power would have decreased by the cube of the distance you certainly could not get significant power to another continent. Besides, very little of the power would have been intercepted in any case. Most would have been totally wasted. Financially and technically it was a project for a deluded mind - more the product of obsessive compulsion than genius.
In my case - and I'm not unique - I click on many different things and will study many different things. I need serendipity to build the overview of life that my mind craves. This sometimes makes it funny to see the "targeted ads" that show up for me. But those ads can be a problem if they represent a model of me and they think they actually know who and what I am and what I want. They are constructing fixed, erroneous, models of people for their own convenience. They are making assumptions about people that are wrong and potentially dangerous and their assumptions do not change in time as people do.
All dump mail that is not lucrative to deliver or cannot be delivered by them into the massive United States Postal Service. Fleas. They will never "not need" the USPS. Only the USPS delivers practically every day to every address in the United States.
Today businesses like Google have created an ENORMOUS overhead obligation to the people of the world by creating what have now become essential services including storage of essential information. They are more like utilities today than just independent businesses that can pull the plug on the public anytime they think they are not making enough money on what they are doing. When is government going to hold them to their obvious obligations? I think eventually they are going to become "to big to fail" just like the larger banks and they will become a continuing financial burden on the people.
But do they know how they got there? They are assuming that like genes necessarily came from bacteria, just as they are assuming that our DNA bits that we share with Neanderthals came from Neanderthals. They are assuming provenance from likeness. Prove it.
But if they wrap buildings in this stuff they will be effectively creating Faraday Shields that interfere with rf propagation. And they will also be creating massive capacitors if wrapped buildings are across from each other.
Yes, men do the actual physical work, but women more and more have been in supervisory and management positions over those men working in the physical world. In recent years women have come to exceed men in those supervisory jobs. As the physical work disappears, the jobs supervising and managing men in those jobs will disappear, impacting women also.
I've noticed that I struggle to get enough sleep. I have to force myself to go back to bed for a couple of hours more. There seems to be two things: the human brain, and the human mind. They constantly struggle with each other to control sleep time. The human brain needs a certain amount of time to reset its biochemistry. The human mind demands the waking state because it craves input (think of a young child fighting desperately to stay awake (search youtube). Our technology and the growing pace of society - the amount of input that is possible - skew our sleep time in favor of the mind more and more. In the past there was far less input possible and the brain won out for sleep time. No longer. We have to realize this and consciously force sleep time for the biochemistry to complete its rejuvenation - there are no parents to force it for us.
Only 25%?? That is huge. And what nobody seems to understand is that AI and machines start at the low end of jobs held by the lower end of the IQ curve and move up the IQ curve. Those jobs to be automated will displace people who are not going to be able to "educate up" to higher level jobs because they have not the capacity. Those lower level jobs have always provided income and daily work for those who are not capable of doing higher work. Thus, automation is a disaster for society as it will create an underclass of floating workers who will become resentful outsiders prone to violence.
The distance allows Representatives to safely consider larger issues, issues that are not necessarily local issues, or issues not to the immediate and obvious benefit of their constituents. Distance allows cooling down on hot issues because the Representatives are not immediately available. They can be too much in contact with their constituents.
You have to know that they will hire skilled and knowledgeable individuals without a degree then underpay them because the don't have a college degree. This stinks of business once again coming up with a sleazy plan to reduce human overhead.
I suggest that they aren't actually "surprised," but that they have learned how to present things to the public in a way that draws attention and interest - like the "caused jaws to drop" click bait thing.
Nature is not an idiot. And the 4 billion years of evolution made the base pairs what they are. They should be asking why rather vigorously, not tinkering with the way it is presently. If this gets into human germ cells and is passed along from generation to generation along with other "improvements," may we (humans) not some time in the future be forced to say..."ooops, maybe we shouldn't have done that?"
It is complexity that you are reacting to, a complexity that is growing by leaps and bounds. I believe your discontent represents the growing disgust with the time and effort and loss of control that people are feeling in every area of their lives today. I believe there must eventually be a "complexity collapse," where people shed complexity and embrace simplicity. This may be a major part of the movement away from cable and to the internet: more control over the level of complexity in their lives. Think about what cable has become and the hoops that must be jumped through to deal with it. It isn't only about cost.

More time for input. More time to learn. More time to build and execute behaviors to satisfy my accent to the Human Motivation Array.

"Life, Uh, Finds a Way" Jurassic Park, Dr. Ian Malcolm, 1993.
And that applies also to quantum cryptography due to its vulnerable nodes at least.
Just like the Waymo software, I always obey the hand signals of police prisms!

It seems to me this implies some sort of nervous system and a primitive brain to process the information. Really?
