Isn't this obvious? It's what we want of technology: do the grunt work so we don't have to. I wanna be hummin' to my fav tunes in the car, not watching for turning landmarks.
Brains are metabolically quite expensive. Therefore, evolution has designed brains to be lazy and kick into cruse control when it can to conserve energy.
Such licensing and certification will jack up the cost of software, perhaps double or more because of the extra review steps that may be needed, and the added difficulty of outsourcing such work to cheap-labor countries lacking certification infrastructure.
Is society willing to pay extra for software and software-based products?
It would be great for IT paychecks, though. Bring it on!
I suspect a PR ploy whereby they allocate explicit funds for a manned Mars mission, but later undercut everything else at NASA, especially Earth science, when the general budget it made.
It gives them news bragging rights for kick-starting a Mars mission but hides the cuts to other space projects by moving them to a later time and plucking them down in the middle of a general budget forest.
Actually, I believe W is the one who originally announced a manned Mars mission, but never really funded it.
Trump has already added thousands of BP and ICE agents
No he hasn't. They were already backlogged in hiring before the election. Training and background checks take roughly 2 years. Congress will have to fund it by then if they continue.
nationwide E-Verify is part of Trump's immigration plan...but that requires legislative action
Yes, it has to pass Congress first. Wishes are common, signed bills are not. Business will complain to GOP, and businesses have a lot of pull with GOP. GOP will likely water it down.
But a wall with sensors and more BP agents will definitely help, no?
In general, Democrats were never against such. GOP blocked such bills before just to hurt O politically. GOP may block it for budget hawk reasons, you never know.
We'll see. In the end even if such legislation is successful it won't likely change anything noticeable for average citizen anyhow. The illegals were workers and consumers just like the rest.
The government refusing to deal with the problem is betraying the citizens.
Re: #2 - It's not ignoring the problem; what you proposes creates 2 new problems to solve 1. Bad trade-off choice. You just seem to be robotically quoting political slogans/memes rather than show a comparison of choices.
I generally don't disagree with 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 but do question 4. Most pay the same taxes as citizens.
As I've mentioned in nearby posts there are more sane ways to reduce illegals (more border guards and biz audits), but neither T nor GOP are interested in anything that offends their biz donors & friends. They'd rather F with families than offend the precious 1%. Typical GOP.
By the way, a wall isn't going to stop drug trafficking. It's pretty easy to get drugs under or over a wall. A 7 year old can do it.
Call them up, they'll be happy to provide a link for you. You simply need to cite a security reason to update, without a workaround being possible.
Let me get this straight: you need to supply a security reason to get security updates? What's an example "workaround"? Would it be like, "Nevermind, I caught the Nigerian Prince in a giant spring-loaded net. We're good."
Make Robots Great Again? niiiice. And mining is gradually becoming more automated.
As far as your comments on black IQ's, I've known plenty of smart blacks and plenty of dumb whites. Social factors play too big a factor in IQ's to claim genetics is the primary factor.
The same polling organizations had been fairly accurate for the last 3 prez elections. Why would they suddenly all go evil at the same time in one election?
The Brexit polling was also unexpectedly off. Are they "in on it" too?
Rather than global Illuminati-like conspiracies, a better explanation is that new technology has made old polling techniques less accurate.
Not only has Trump not apologized, but he's deliberately insulted the US's firmest foreign ally [UK] to try firm up his BS claim.
It's one thing to accuse or insult other politicians in the US, but dragging our allies into his Web-of-BS is just the kind of thing us T detractors feared.
Many political decisions require hard choices and sometimes you have to offend an ally to make progress in other ways. But this UK accusation is not one of those trade-offs; it's manufactured out of nowhere; an unnecessary source of tension.
T should be put on trial for dragging the UK into this. He should be required to give answers to the citizens of both USA and the UK.
You still changed the subject away from crime itself.
Both parties have been laxidasical on the issue, but for different reasons. I will agree a good many Democrats view them as a future source of votes, but as I mentioned nearby, businesses also see them as cheap abusable labor, and lobby GOP to look the other way. GOP only gives the issue lip service, and STILL does in terms of business inspections. When W had both houses, GOP stonewalled on reform and did nothing. Democrats also proposed a bill to increase border guards, but GOP invented silly excuses, including budget reduction, to turn it down and showed no interest in renegotiating a revised bill.
Since his days are numbered, maybe he figures it's worth the risk, and being the first civilian to die in space maybe has a record-book appeal to it. Go in style. Beats the nursing home.
If machines and low-wage countries produce for pennies, then why try to force uneducated workers to produce something of economical value? It's kicking a dying horse. The 70's are dead, Jim.
The usual lie is to group all immigrants together when looking at crime since the legal ones generally do commit fewer crimes. The legal ones pull down the average. The MS13 gang, ~70k strong in the US, is largely a product of illegal immigration. But keep preaching that they are all here to helpfully mow your lawn and have no downsides.
I didn't say there were no downsides, only that the average is not demonstrably higher. Before T claims that illegals commit more than average thefts and violence, he should FIRST get evidence.
If as a politician I claim that group X causes more problems than group Y, I should first collect and present good evidence, not guess out of my keester.
Once T did actually give a source of such claims: his "border guard friends" told him. That's barely more scientific than a divining rod. My friends tell me you are a demon spawn; should I deport you?
By the way, I'm not against cutting back the quantity of illegals in the country, it's just that T is doing it wrong (per sister message).
You assume we know who and where the perps are. We don't. And going after perps who are here illegally is no easier than going after perps who are here legally. The goal should be to get the most perps per fed money spent, not to target group X over group Y for the heck of it. That would be like the highway patrol going after only Ford speeders and not Chevy speeders. It's both inefficient and discriminatory.
Your "law and order" statement seems to be referring to "sanctuary cities". Cops have found they get more cooperation from the population if they don't ask citizenship status of witnesses and victims. There's your "law and order".
illegals...never going to vote Republican...will almost always vote for more government.
Ahah! So it's not really about crime itself, but a political power battle to you. Your true colors are shining through. Whether true or not, that's a change in topic from crime.
If you really want to reduce illegals, then audit businesses for their employment practices. However, biz bribes GOP not to, calling it "excess business regulation". T and GOP are hiding this from you, and distracting you with crime talk.

I'm not confident T will fix more things than he breaks. Your opinion is probably different on that.
It's a good thing my non-violent extremism is left untouched.
Correction, I generally don't disagree with 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7.
In general, GOP does nothing about it beyond lip service, and T does it ham-handed. Perhaps you could try to argue ham-handed is better than nothing.

No, we can hopefully mutually agree to split. No war necessary.

Perhaps I should have said "first tourist" instead of "first civilian".
Indeed, you DON'T wanna make a Samsung Galaxy angry. Like Bill Bixby, they have explosive tempers.

The other poster said "and selling support contracts to fix flaws". So which is it? Are some flaws fixed for free and others charged for?

If MS charged directly for Windows security patches, they'd be flogged. Cisco's model is outdated.
