Wasn't getting rid of all those burdensome Obama era net neutrality regulations going to create massive new investments from our telecom companies? And the Tax changes are going to create all sorts of jobs!
If we survive the next 3 years w/out falling so far behind the rest of the developed world it'll be a miracle.
How long until the average person realizes that it's robots taking the jobs not the Mexicans/immigrants.
And then the problem becomes what can we build a wall around to stop them?
...when we find something, will we be able to recognize it as life? In all likelihood, anything we find will be so drastically different from what we're used to defining as "life", we may not even be able to recognize its state of being "alive".

McGruber writes: My childrens' public elementary school recently acquired 100 Chromebooks and is using Google Apps for Education (GAFE) [https://www.google.com/edu/products/productivity-tools/]. As part of the rollout, the school emailed this to parents:
[School] now has over 100 ChromeBooks that teachers can use in their classrooms for a variety of purposes. Teachers and students will have access to Google Apps for Education (GAFE) as a tool for learning, creativity, and critical thinking. In preparation for the roll-out of this great resource, we ask all parents to give permission for classroom instructional use. Please take a moment and complete the form sent home last week in the Friday Folder and return it to your child's teacher.
The permission slip asks us to sign-away some of the protections provided by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). It says: --------------------------- COPPA applies to commercial companies and limits their ability to collect personal information from children under 13. This permission form allows the school to act as an agent for parents in the collection of information within the school context. The school's use of student information is solely for education purposes.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) FERPA protects the privacy of student education records and gives parents the rights to review student records. Signing this form acknowledges that some student records, such as portfolios of student work with teacher feedback, may be stored in a student’s GAFE accounts on Google servers. ---------------------------
Should we, the parents, sign this form? If not, how do we explain to the school leadership why we declined to grant permission?
Ever notice how someone with an agenda you agree with is brilliant and insightful, but someone with one you disagree with, my god, they're brain washing everyone! Oh noes!
