The issues of liability for machine failure have been worked out. ABS breaks, just plain old breaks, tire blowouts, etc. Failure of systems that can cause potentially fatal accidents is *nothing* new. Why everyone thinks it is, is beyond me.
We will be wiped out one way or another. Humanity or post humans will not survive as a species forever no matter what. If that makes life meaningless then well life *is* meaningless. Deal with it.
You forgot 3d printing and solar energy breakthrough. So more like "3d printed apple watch with breakthrough solar panel makes Driverless cars unsafe".
For fucks sakes. Neutron activation does *not* create high grade waste. It creates low grade waste only! Stuff that is safe to handle after a few hours to days! Seriously learn some nuclear science before you open that mouth.
And yet they still get money from people from time to time. That is something i never understand. No working examples, but trust me and bingo they get cash from suckers.
Oh wow i just go an email from a Nigerian prince. I have to go.
No its not. Just because your ignorant of current progress does mean progress hasn't been made. Getting a few 100 atoms to fuse is easy. Getting some significant fraction of a mole (6x10^23 atoms) is much more difficult.
Err just no. First of all there is a lot more to running the factoring method on a quantum computer than getting enough qubits (right now you need more than 1000). You need to keep it coherent for the many many operations that have to be run on it. Also building a QC is exponentially difficult. It is not like "just add a qubit" adding a single qubit to make 3 qubits is on the order of 2x harder than 2 qubits. Going from 100 to 101 qubits is again 2x harder than the 100 qubits. You get the idea.
So even if they can make a few 100 qubits your still totally safe. Unlike classical computation there is no way to use a 100 qubit QC to solve a problem that needs a 101 qubit register. And right now with decoherence time we are getting, you also need many many many extra qubits for error correcting.
Finally if there really is some uber breakthrough and +1000 bit QC become reality, there are public key schemes that are not compromised with QC. The keys are fairly big, but on the modern internet this is much less of a problem these days.
We have had this happen more than once. Basically trashing the drives while it is recovering, forces/finds trips more fail states or something. However the worst every i had to deal with, was a RAID setup for a apple timemachine backup. It was unrecoverable at every level because OSX did something stupid. Why anyone would use a mac as a server i will never know.
As it is we pay farmers to waste land. No need for GM.
While GM applied properly could lead to crops that can be grown in otherwise difficult places to grow anything, allowing local production of food in places that need it.
Funny, my experience was totally the opposite. I found them honest on the fair price before i hopped in. Informative on where to go, and even gave tips about where locals would hang out. Every time it was about 1am and i wanted to get away from the strip to a decent pub. Of course not much is open at that time. But there are few places. Afterwards i was taixing back to the strip. Again no issues. Of course i was moderately sober and didn't want to go to a strip club, in contrast to just about everyone else.
Oh i understand that idea. Fact is, it doesn't work out that well in practice. The hard bit is always the company. And lets face it, your not going to be able to afford the lawyers or the 2-5 years of legal battles to enforce the patent anyway. So its either a marginal idea no one gives a shit about. Or its taken from right under your feet. There are many many examples. Patents Protect patent attorneys and lawyers. No one else.
Your numbers are way way off. First of all there is about 500M people in the EU zone. The 2-5 million immigrants represent sweet fuck all (1%), and to claim something as ridiculous as 100% taxation wouldn't work goes to show how far your basing numbers on faith and prejudice rather than logic and fact. There are more tourists going to cheap hotels every day. We have the infrastructure and the means if we give a shit. But we don't.
He is in fact a total nutbar. I in fact worked with his old supervisor and somehow ended up on his mailing list about 8 years ago. It use to be Science community conspiracy theories and stuff preventing him and his wonderful inventions from being recognized. Turns out he just wouldn't submit his thesis. His rants are always just like this one and has been doing a long time. Pity he got some attention this time. And as someone in the field no one should be using tree finder anyway.

fucking geolocation BS....

And what is wrong with that? If you know a formula for millions of dollars. You'd be stupid not to use it.

The phrasing i was told was "You can't get a baby in one month by getting 9 woman pregnant".

However i quite like my 5 bladed razor. It really does last a lot longer than the other ones i have used.

Why would you be waiting? He is a fraud. He has a history of energy market fraud. The physics is impossible. Don't wait, you already know.

my post was borked. https://youtu.be/8Gv0H-vPoDc?t...
You cared enough to not just click the post, but to also post. Care less?
Funny fact. It is completely legal to insider trade if your in congress.

In plenty of countries they don't cost that much. Also in some places (these places) real taxis are cheaper or at worse the same price as Uber.
You know how much money "idea patents" make. None. The idea is the easy bit.
Hemp strains for materials are useless for smoking. As a result are in fact *not* illegal to grow in most places. Yet as a material, its kinda Meh.
Well scientist is a bit of a stretch.
