Actually if you exclude auto accidents the life expectancy would increase even further. If you exclude all accidents and allow for only predation the average life expectancy would shoot to a million. Take predation away too, and man! you have become immortal.
Their finger print scanners are crappy anyway, easy to fool. So a hard coded passw0rd! is more difficult to crack than cheating the fingerprint scanner.

Look, the definition of what is Africa is quite arbitrary and recent. The Levant region is quite close.
Homo sapiens probably got into Levant region and southern Arabian peninsula probably. Did they get past the Neanderthals beyond Persian gulf or into Turkey?
It is generally believed H sapiens broke out a few times before in the past into Arabian peninsula. But only after the Great Leap Forward, 75000 years ago, they were able to break really out that region past Persian gulf.
The Great Leap could have been development of language, or some novel way to master coastal navigation to access off shore island resources, or both.
It is the future currency validated by millions of independent miners.
In no time, those millions will spring into action, find the perp who stole the money and restore the status quo ante.
You fiat currency believers need to file a case and wait for some government agency to investigate find the perp, and try to recover the stolen goods.
Er, what...? There is no real peaceful conflict resolution mechanism? Its finders keepers losers weepers rule from third grade! What! You gotta be kidding....
Every time I log in, most of the screen is taken up by this huge video that auto plays. It said "Bright" or something. It was so visually jarring and there is a screaming audio track on it too. I have begun to mute audio before opening Netflix, and close my eyes and press down button to escape the visual assault.
Then the last viewed menu comes up. It wont be long before some idiot decides it would be a cool thing to autoplay all the icons to create "visual appeal" and interest.
With that kind of intrusive access to the customers it would be a big surprise if it is NOT a hit.
If the movie is really bad, and if they forced half their clients to watch it, they have spent some of the good will. It won't be long before people start leaving Netflix. You can not compare movies viewed after paying for parking, tickets and popcorn to auto played video shown for free.
Trust buster Teddy Roosevelt cracked down on American monopolies when it was difficult for foreign companies to break into American markets.
Now we are in a totally different era. It is extremely difficult for any foreigner is just move in and live in the USA, legally. Even illegally one risks life, limb and liberty to move in here.
On the other hand, any Tom, Dick or Harry, of Ching Ling or Ramanathan Murugappa or Aziz al-Burkati or Omonomo Boborossa can set up a company and do business in America. We break up our monopolies, we still be under monopolies, except this time the monopolies are based in foreign countries.
They are the only ones who can keep foreign monopolies at bay. We should find ways to tame them, contain them but not cripple them so much foreign companies come and take our market.
I am willing to buy a premium or upgraded or platinum edition or whatever the name the marketing comes up with. It should give me better control over video feed. No video, no animated gif, no auto play anything, do not allow the video to relocate itself to defeat scrolling past it...
The joke's on you buddy. They don't need any reason to start another world war.
If it looks like there is a possibility their patrons might benefit remotely, they will find some reason or the other to start another war. Weapons of Mass destruction or biological agents on mobile trucks or red mercury based nuclear weapons....
Real wages have not gone up for three decades, but that is not the reason.
This generation is going to be less well off than their parents, that is not the reason.
Life expectancy has peaked and for non college whites it has started decreasing perceptibly. Other groups will follow suite soon. That is not the reason.
Future is bleak, except for the top few percent of grads in the "hot" field most remaining jobs do not require college degree, not even high school diploma, and those jobs are fast disappearing. That is not the reason.
Healthcare is tied to the parents' job till you are 26, and after that if you don't land a job with healthcare you are neck deep in shit. That is not the reason.
The dysfunctional political system has two parties, one obsessed with immigration and the other with tax cuts. Neither seem to care about the utter hopelessness felt by the second echelon of high school grads. Non college bound high school grads, or getting degrees in useless fields in college. They have no real hope. But somehow we expect them to be happy. Let us blame the smartphone.
I am not able to find the reference. But this is what I remember from that report:
Scientists built a few female sage grouse or pheasant robots controlled by radio. In a lek these will gravitate towards one male and that male will get the attention of lots of females. If the robots are moved towards another male, the real females also would follow suit abandon the current favorite and go to the male preferred by robots. The winning male is the male that is preferred by most other females.
They have been continuously adding landmarks and data and updating faux-3D building facades using AI and extrusions. It is junky on street view but plain navigation it is improving a lot.
Google maps is continually improving, may be to help their driverless car, but none of the other mapping tools come even remotely close.
Google docs is also improving and chrome browser is improving where google wants improvement. They want auto play videos, no matter what I do they sneak it in.
They are not good in lek. ( A lek is a clearing in the forest/woodland where male pheasants gather and strut. Females choose to mate with fancy foot work strutting males, in theory. In practice, it is crowd behavior. Females pick the male picked by most females. It is an unstable system. Using robots scientists could make the females gravitate towards one, and on command, the robots to another one and the females follow suite. My sincere sympathies to the frustrated males in that experiment, would perfectly understand them going postal;-).
On platforms like Facebook, Twitter, the winner is whoever most of your friends and family pick, regardless of quality, price or security. It is a lek. It is very difficult to break into lek dominated apps. One can only wait for it to collapse (like myspace or geocities before that) and pick the pieces, and bide your time. Build capacity, build the technology to be ready to capitalize when the lek leader fumbles.
In personal computers Microsoft was an early lek winner. All the companies picked Microsoft because all other companies are picking microsoft. When it stumbled, Firefox pounced, when it was fending off firefox, Google pounced and reduced the cash flow from Office apps.
So all these me too platforms from google are simply waiting for a fumble by Facebook or Twitter or Apple.
There is already a large number of driver who don't have to steer their vehicles for the last 150 years.
The locomotive engineers!
All they have to do is to watch the speed, grade and signals.
And the number one problem for them? Boredom. They fall asleep. The nod off. There have been adding more and more devices to check the alertness of the drivers. Deadman's treadle is what? hundred years old? Now with computers they are thinking of creating a challenge and response to avoid them responding mechanically.
If the autopilot is going to steer and the documentation says, "driver must be fully attentive", it is time they add deadman's treadle and a host of devices to make sure there is a fully attentive driver there.

May be that helps.

You right about Sherman Act. Used correctly it can send CEOs to jail. It did.
Pursuit of happiness is a founding principle of this nation, and you dont get to define when the pursuit should be abandoned.
Fix it? Then how can I bitch and moan then?
Just last year I saw a documentary on how to grow potatoes in Mars on shit.

Parent's behavior influences the child.
So the genes not passed on still influence the child. What is so unusual about this? It looks like publishing a paper claiming water is wet.

What makes you thing I sound depressed, Have I been using a smartphone lately?
I don't want autoplay video on any tab.
I hate auto play video that relocates the frame as I scroll it off to keep off my view.
