Side note: If Matty stated that he posted this as a joke, and then canceled the event, then Connie should be able to use the term "Alienstock". Unless Matty trademarked the joke.

Finally! A new thread...
I like the idea of replacing the revenues for government and social welfare needs. But what exactly is a robot, and how many robots replace how many people for what amount of tasks? How does that evolve? Is an ordering kiosk, one human replacement or two?
When you go to the totally automated McDonalds or Rally's, just how many people does that count for, and for how long?
I like the idea of people working rather than "robots" but make-work jobs and strange occupations are tough to describe. I prefer people to deal with as waiters and most other jobs. The "user experience" of most human interface replacements leave a lot to be desired.... although I've had my share of weird waiters/waitresses/in-betweens.
This is wickedly tough to classify.
Another thought: Who gets most of the tax money collected? The unemployed, a "general fund" - or will it go to sticky fingers (politicians for a new yacht, lawyers). In principle it sounds like a good idea; in practice experience has taught me to be wary.
I'm guessing the logic is that the police can't take it away from you without going through some serious red tape, and you might possibly pass checkpoints without raising red flags, etc. Still seems like there are better methods of file sharing, at least until this is small enough to be installed with a fat syringe.
Couldn't they "simply" burn pit & land onto a pair of contact lenses? Small amount of data, and only worm, but they could then defy the powermasters with impunity ( or whatever their narrative is ).
Just take them behind the barn and get it over with.
Old Yeller, or just a paddling? I vote the former.
Devil's Advocate: So he was supposed to hold onto his company and stocks as it slowly tanks having zero worth??
Either you are an idiot or Microsoft knowingly bought a dying company.
Why do you think the company was "tanking" when he sold?
Prognostication based on experiences. Read the gp's last sentence.
Life is a dangerous activity and will eventually lead to death.
Nobody has survived it yet.
I have.
So far, the number of times I've dies is exactly zero.
Ha! Depends on the definition of death-you may have died one night, then recovered! Also, in France the orgasm is known as "the little death". By that definition, I have died at least a few times in junior high...Just for fun, let's re-title the story: "For some people, drinking more than two sodas per day can increase their risk of truly living". Me, I prefer coffee - and I ain't giving it up, no matter what the research says! Irrational, but only for coffee. And beer.
Garages are often too narrow to practically contain a car (ie you can drive in, but then you cant open the door and have to climb out the sunroof).
With even semi-autonomous cars, you could get out of the car in the driveway, let the car park itself. Should be no more difficult than automatic parallel parking.
Its about the same draw as an AC unit or a dryer...so it'll hold up about the same as a summer night.
This might be concurrent with the AC or dryer usage etc., although timer controls could be used. I knew someone who lived way out in the country using an old generator, and had a similar dilemma: If the dryer is running, you can't vacuum, or cook a roast! As their finances improved, they resolved their little problem.
poke it with a stick.
So you're not saying it's the blob, but...
You don't have to knowingly ignore facts. There are any number of websites that agree with whatever you want to believe. If the first search result doesn't look right, just keep going until you find one that resonates as true (to you - regardless of actual facts).
Or what the source wants you to believe - my copy of Encarta matter-of-factly informs me that AOL is not the internet! Technically true, but I intuit that there was some level of business politics being pushed by Microsoft, since my disk came out just as MS was acknowledging the internet's existence, and just as IE (and later MSN) was coming out.
Top 15 Forbidden Words: Dead, Shooting, Murder, Gun, Rape, Bomb, Died, Attack, Killed, Suicide, Trump, Crash, Crime, Explosion, Accident.
All fifteen of those words in a single headline would either be the greatest or most depressing headline in human history.

No, this is absolutely brilliant! We should all include all these words in every post.
Then, we will have an ad-free Internet again!
Captain Synonym sez otherwise.
This may appeal to a demographic that I don't belong to. But what I would rather them spend their time on is in-car assistants. The upcoming release will allow you to send and receive text messages via voice command. Imagine! You still won't have the same communication abilities in your state-of-the-art EV as you do in a Chevy Spark with AirPlay.
If they have the engineering chops to create full self-driving (or they think they do), then perhaps it would be nice if they added ANY voice-controlled navigation. You know like "Tesla, navigate me to the nearest supercharger."
But what do I know? I remember when walking was the only option. And there were bandits. And hills.
Ha!! If fully robot - no steering wheel or pedals - then entertainment!
