With the same authority that they can tell states how to use air waves.

Solving a problem is the easiest part. The hardest part is identifying and describing the problem. Once AIs can both identify and solve problems, then there will be absolutely nothing left for humans for "jobs".

The employees can't afford the robots and it takes a while to pay off the investment for them. So the employees become the employer, except the employees can't afford the robots. Do you see a problem with this? Someone has to pay for the robots and they're too expensive to be owned individually and it would be wasteful because no one needs an entire factor of cars for themselves. The logical conclusion of what you're getting after is for the robots to be collectively owned, a form of socialism.

Don't like your government? Replace it. Don't like your opensource software, add a feature.

only 8 pages of rules, the rest were comments.

Who gave him direct table access?! They should be fired!

Yep, nothing quite like a bunch of frameworks strung together in a way they were never envisioned and doing things that look the same on the surface but are quite different underneath. If you don't understand how a framework works, you'll never use it correctly.

In my limited experience, what people claim to be "agile" is "I don't want to have to design or plan". Agile is a method for programming, and has little to do with design.

Forgot to add. "Dark energy" definitely exists, otherwise we'd be running into problems with the fundamental laws, like conservation of energy. Space itself is expanding and that takes energy, a lot of energy.
