Whose bank accounts and treasury bonds? I assume you are hinting at owners of companies who employ large numbers of minimum-wage workers, but what about the owners of companies who don't employ many minimum-wage workers? Increasing minimum wage doesn't make much of a difference for them, and certainly doesn't cause them to contribute more to the system that got them there.

This is one reason I don't care to jump on this bandwagon of raising the minimum wage. It puts the whole burden on low-skill industries.

Or you're in high school flipping burgers, still living with your parents and without much actual responsibility.

Oh really? Exodus 21 seems to disagree (emphasis mine):

Anyone who asks this question, or understands the answer but is interested in how to make things better, should watch CGP Grey's Politics In The Animal Kingdom series.

Just because something has an accuracy of X doesn't mean that it's a binary measurement. That would be like having a speedometer accurate to 1 MPH, and therefore you could only know whether your speed is below 1 MPH or above 1 MPH.

It probably takes more movement than just 1 cm to trigger an alarm. Or the system might need that precision in order to monitor patterns that often correlate to deficiencies.

"Value" and "cost" are separate things that we try so hard to conflate. They look similar but are quite different.

Say you have 50 wheelbarrows and I have none. If I need a wheelbarrow, and you don't need 50 wheelbarrows, then a wheelbarrow has higher value to me than it does to you. I might trade you $50 cash in exchange for the wheelbarrow. You value the $50 more than each wheelbarrow, while I value the wheelbarrow more than the $50.

This is the problem with placing monetary valuation on any object or service; value is in the eye of the beholder, and that includes the value of money itself.

Skepticism is denying that the subject at hand has been sufficiently verified.

The idea that all "deniers" ignore all evidence is often used to form strawman arguments.

The voting verification doesn't even have to be a computer system. It could be a manual process, where any interested party can verify vote counts as they come in at the precinct, and sign off on the totals when they are delivered to the state.

If they didn't already collect any records on you, you can be assured that they will start now.

Microsoft is doing all of those things you mentioned in Windows 10. And none of it requires running desktop applications.

Sure. But my original comment still stands, even with your definition:

Take all the computing electronics out of it, and let's see just how entertaining it is.

I wasn't talking about work. Work is no longer where most computing devices are used.

Computers users in the 80s and 90s were a different breed in general than today's users. For most users today, an iPad is good enough for just about anything they will ever want to do.

Then each football can remain in custody of the officiating crew until needed, and then immediately after use. Neither team has to actually touch the game balls before or after they are put into play.
