Earth needs a tailpipe.

If we can figure out a way to export it to Mars, we might kill 2 birds with one rock.

When I give this argument to my supervisor, he'll make sure I got tonnes of more burdensome stuff to do.
But as any parent would also tell you: 'Shut up and get to work ya lazy bum!'.

"People are making the world more unequal; Only people can fix this".
Technology is inherently neutral. It's the person or people that wield it that give it colour.

I think you should at least give a few episodes a watch and decide afterwards. Plot, writing and storytelling are entirely different things then CBS's business decisions. The latter where most complaints stem from.

Another Republican idea.
And still there are common people that firmly believe that the GOP is there for them. That is some cognitive dissonance of biblical proportions.

Dear GOP, let's not think about your own wallets and who fills them for awhile and when you do, please follow this maxim for a bit: "Does this idea really benefit the every man?" or "Has my idea the potential to increase the risk of corruption on a big scale?".

You make... lemonade?

People should stop whining about semantics or personifying a planetary body as if it was a person. smh

On demand availability and no unnecessary junk. Of course this would turn everyone to Netflix and similar services.
What I find interesting is that traditional media execs. didn't try and stop it or massively slow the pace of aforementioned services as their industry will die off in the long run (remember that the industry didn't want to put their music up on Spotify due to not making enough revenue, or that they tried to make the .mp3 format illegal in the olden days?) Maybe I missed it or I jinxed it. Either way, good to see progress happening.

What was the security warning about? And what was required of me?
To me this is kind of the important part in combination with this: "when security messages interrupted a task". As I have learned from my parents, you don't go haphazardly interrupting people with some kind of nonsense. If you do, you can expect to be ignored or be told off. If a security warning is about to inform me that a scheduled scan will start in an hour, or a patch will be downloaded. I'll ignore it. It doesn't require my attention at this time and I was busy with something. It interrupted me with nonsense so it's annoying me and I clicked it away. Another point of contention is if the message requires me to do something like restarting the system. If I'm in the process of doing something that needs up time (be it from watching a video, to copying files), I will complete that task first. Task prioritization is key here and interrupting me is again, annoying. Even if it does want me to do something.

So yeah, I get where these figures come from. Not at all astounding to me.

Memorizing a list of properties by number is just as hard as memorizing a list of properties by name.
I'd say we have to make the names descriptive of an elements property.
E.g. Gold would be: 'YellowyExpensium', Oxygen: 'BreathGasium' or what about 'FunnyVoicium' for Helium? :D

There should ALWAYS be a Cowboy Neal option in there.

So earlier today we got a Japanese AI that almost won a literary price and now we have a Microsoft AI spewing profanity while admiring Hitler.

AI are just like people. The future is now.

I don't really understand why your score is 0 (at the time I looked) as I think that you are absolutely right.
Where I live, it has shown in multiple studies that the surrounding really has a great impact on the behavior of motorists.
To these nay-sayers I say: According to your logic, a totalitarian police state would make a perfectly safe society.

It all boils down to traffic psychology. A big portion of car drivers automatically want to up the speed when they are on a broad (and empty) road. I even want to go as far to say that some (local) governments deliberately create such roads while keeping the max. allowed speed limit low and fill the road with speed camera's. Not because of safety, but to milk the road as a cash cow. This is called 'enticement'.

To resolve these questions and keep it fair and safe for everyone, the traffic psychology should be addressed. By changing the infrastructure in such away to demotivate speeding or other reckless behavior by affecting traffic psychology. Of course, the few people that are still traffic hazards should also be fined. So the policing of the roads still remain. But adjusting the way a road is designed can help a lot.

I'm still down with Kenja's idea with the monkeys.

"Locate a black hole and start shooting monkeys at it! "Science can not progress without heaps [of monkeys]"

Thanks Kenja, for your input.
