Comment Bose never got a Nobel (Score 5, Interesting) 231
How the heck is it that Satyendar Nath Bose didn't get a Nobel prize?
I guess back then they didn't know how awesome his ideas were?

Well without the cameras what hope would be had? You shouldn't expect privacy in public. If everyone has wearable cameras the criminals and police knows they are subject to multiple witnesses. Recording needs to be done before a crime takes place so that the perps are caught in the act and can be traced. What good are aftermath videos?
Instant access to information won't make us smart or better decision makers. We are still subject to our emotions, and our curiosities, and our desires. Also, raw knowledge is not wisdom. I am reminded of a quote from Picasso
OK I understand the part about the 50K debt
By the way, the average H1B at Cisco and certain other silicon valley high tech companies gets about $120K (I googled H1B salaries). The wages vary wildly according to location.
I'll sidetrack here
I didn't say products should be free. People will have to pay for the manufactured goods.
Think of it this way -- it's the same as working. Instead of you physically going to work and getting a paycheck. Your robot does it for you.
The economy functions fine with workers and companies right? Why wouldn't it function with robotic workers and companies?
People who make bad investment choices will be worse off than those who make wiser choices. Hopefully nobody will starve, because government will have enough tax revenue for a welfare scheme that provides the bare essentials.
Simple. Nowhere.
1. People can own shares in companies that own robots. Those shares will pay dividends (or increase in value etc).
2. The government can tax the profits of the robot run factories. These profits can provide a dividend check to citizens who would hopefully invest wisely in the robot companies.
Rather than work, people's time will be spent trying to figure out which robot companies perform well. You can use a computer program to do it

The government isn't allowed to take actions against people and deny them certain freedoms if they haven't been convicted of a crime. At the very least, they should be told why they are being denied the flight.
"No person shall [...] be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; [..]"
Fifth amendment:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Basic grammar dictate that the exemption for wartime is only when you are holding someone

Actually the risk of genetic problems in offspring is the same or even less than the risk of problems if a mother is over 40.
Sarah Palin's, and Rick Santorum's, youngest kids have genetic issues because of that. So if we are going to ban incest because it creates a risk of genetic problems, we need to ban older pre-menopausal women from having sex too.
My view is that we should legalize adult consensual incest, with moderate fines for getting pregnant I suppose.
And what about cars in Australia that drive upside down?
WTF.
