Better/more automation also means decreased costs for basic living necessities, which means that one will not need to work as much in order to feed oneself and one's family. It also means that welfare sufficient for necessities will be less expensive. It also means that those with high-paying jobs will have less expenses and a larger percentage of their income can be collected as taxes without seriously disturbing them, increasing the amount of tax revenue available for transfer payments.

One can imagine a future in which all necessities, entertainment, luxuries, etc., can be/are provided/created/transported via automated systems. There might not be any jobs, but there also might not be a need for any jobs.

Soooo, you're betting on humans to have faster reflexes than a computer? That's not a very good bet.

That's why we need to keep people from switching to LibreOffice. They've never quite managed to implement a TruthFilter(TM) like MS Powerpoint has.

No, you're wrong. That was the past. This is the future.

Ah, crap. I was wrong too. That was the past. Now THIS is the future.

Dang it.

And the counsel would likely determine this in voir dire and so you would not be chosen as a juror.

Most important thing is to see a doctor regularly and then follow the doctor's advice. Then you don't have to worry about genericized one-size-fits-all pontification from anonymous internet blogs, forums, etc.

Back of the envelope calculation: [(10k miles per year) / (30 miles per gallon)] * (4 dollars per gallon) = 1.3k$ per year. Over ten years, 13k$. Tesla offers a pre-paid battery replacement (pay when you buy the car, get the new battery much later) for 12k$. So, if the battery lifetime is on the close order of ten years, then you're not far from the break-even point. If gas prices go up, or if you drive more, or if your gas mileage is worse, or if the battery replacement price comes down, then less than ten years will do.

That was Henry Ford's model, of course. But don't forget that before the Model T, there were a number of very expensive automotives available that only the rich could afford...

Tesla has made a map of where they intend to put the stations and how far you can drive from them. http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger

The video reminds me of Snow Crash. Be careful. It could eat your brain!

Hence why I said "If he's the senior guy and he's getting the job done." Logical conjunctions are important.

If he's the senior guy and he's getting the job done, then I suspect he knows what he's doing and knows which aspects of the job to focus on and which to ignore because they are useless trivialities. Just stay out of his way.

Correction: we have the technology today to travel to another solar system in a few hundred years, give or take.

Welp, so much for rule of law. It was nice while it lasted.
