Yes, but NASA launches are just a few times a year, SPACE X and its competitors want weekly or even daily launches.

The USA needs to do that, not by replacing the servers, but by paying them legit wages for their time. The whole idea that a server should make less per hour because she MIGHT be tipped is just wrong. There are many countries around the world that do not tip, because it's not necessary, it's even frowned apon in some cultures.

I understand that this stuff it convenient to have, but like how hard it is to hit a damn light switch. I also wouldn't trust it to order a damn thing off amazon, if I said Alexa order toilet paper or what ever, I'd assume that amazon has it programmed to give me the worst deal possible, because they make the most money that way.

So her home was struck by lightning, and it fried everything, even some highly advance stuff implanted in her body. Do people not realize how much power in in a bolt of lightning? The woman is probably lucky her house didn't burn down, i know that homes have lightning rods and what not, but I've see some massive damage to homes that are struck.

He pretty much admitted it. They tried to take too many people out of the equation of actually building the car, and they failed. Automation is great, and can help efficiency, but it's not the end all be all that some people think it is.

How can any company be so far in debt and still operating, in any shape or form. I would have figured they would have closed long ago and their assets sold to other companies.

Chicago still as a truly elevated system in places, and it's as old, but still is good, and gets upgraded regularly. I'm not saying that Chicago is not corrupt, because it totally is, everything you do needs a kick back to some politician or union, but we still manage to keep our trains running on a daily basis, and it's also 24/7, with free ride a couple of days a year.

What part on the inside of a hard driver are you actually going to replace yourself? Only in some extreme cases would someone open up a drive to try to get the data off the platters on to a new drive, where would you even get replacement parts?

So a stereotypical video game character is similar to a stereotypical actress, wow that's such a shocker.

You really can't, you can get pretty darn close, but lets take the case of the truck driver. Yes you could automate dock to dock pickups and deliveries to the same company, but what about when you need to deliver to somewhere else. Take a city like Chicago, do you know how many places in the city don't even have a dock to deliver to, and what about when the truck does get there, who is going to unload the product? How about bulk deliveries of chemicals, or cylinders of compressed gas? You can't just take someone that does UBER and have them do the same job, those require specialized training and certifications, even driving a truck is not that easy. Most driving jobs are alot more than going from point A to point B. Also do you think with all the UNION jobs in the USA that those people are just going to let go of those positions easily and be kicked out because of some AI?

Yes, but the cars that have this will most likely be self driving, so the distraction thing will not be an issue.

Grab a really big pot, and some seasoning, I'm hungry.

I would mod this up if I had points.

There is planned obsolescence, apple has said as much. When you intentionally hinder a product to worsen it, after you've release a newer better product, that is exactly planned obsolescence. Apple claims it was to improve battery usage or what ever, but that is the worst PR excuse that I've ever heard.

What about when I just need to go to work, and back home? I mean this would be a great supplement to a family, like to get rid of the kids on the weekends, or if you wanted to go out and not need a designated driver. For every day use, most people would not make enough at work every day to cover their uber ride back and forth.
