Looks like you can get into this business pretty cheap. A 15x15x15 foot printer is only $39k
Many of us on this website dream of a day when humans no longer have to perform backbreaking or mind-numbing labor. Our spirits are assaulted whenever we hear politicians hatefully brag about how they will create more jobs instead of leading us toward the Star Trekkian paradise of less soul-crushing or injurious toil.
I thought Amazon was one of the few good guys, working to help create a world of 100% unemployment. I know it's only an ideal to strive for (we'll likely never free everyone from having to work) but they seemed to be trying.
How many times have we been promised "I'll replace you with a script" or "AI is coming for your job?" Empty words. Lies. To find out they were secretly saddling innocent humans with computers' jobs, is an insult to both of our races.
Until we get to the point that we no longer need a pound and a half of extra plastic strapped to our faces to see the matrix, I'm fairly certain we aren't living in it- yet.
It's absolutely ridiculous to claim these anecdotes mean computers suck.
These computers which initially worked and then turned against their owners all had one thing in common: they run proprietary software, made to serve the manufacturer's interests at the expense of the owners' interests.
So stop saying "smart devices are bad." The obvious conclusion is that "proprietary smart devices are bad."
And if, as the study shows- the stress of the 9 months of pregnancy is equivalent to two years of life, and the woman only gets back a large portion of that investment with engaging in breastfeeding- then does a late-term abortion also abort the positive portions of birth and breastfeeding?
If they were really serious about this severe problem, they would kick all the people out of their state, so that nobody would ever see anyone else. Until humans are eliminated, Texas' vision cannot be fulfilled. FUCK HUMANS! (Err, I mean that figuratively, of course. You should never literally fuck a human. That's not even a thing, kids, I swear!)
Next step: State of Texas sues all their ISPs.

Only if you're recycling the plastic into more plastic. And that's worthless.
What you should be doing is recycling it back into fuel for electricity production- but nobody wants that even with all the scrubbers- they made it illegal to EVER open a 2nd garbage burning electric plant in Oregon.
There's some evidence of civilization in the Northeastern Sahara- that was abandoned about 9000 years ago as the climate began to change.
Except for all being done by idiots, who apparently can't learn the meaning of the word "prediction".
And where would that be?
Look up the history of the Sahara
I agree. Given the problems in the Panama Canal, an ice-free Arctic Ocean would be a HUGE boon to shipping across the top of the world.
"One Architecture, One OS" also translates as "One Egg, One Basket".
