Because clearly you'd have them wireless and rolling around in the centre of the room and not embedded in the concrete walls with a vent for the gas to come out of that they can't get the canisters out of?

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. I assume it prioritizes immediate physical harm over putting someone in solitary. Otherwise it would violate the other half of the law via inaction. A black and white morality in the three laws just wouldn't suit any robot in any situation. Harm is far too broad a term to be useful anyway. Does my robot constantly jump to my aid before I stub my toe? Because god damnit I'd throw it out of a window after a few days.

A couple canisters in every cell/room that releases a gas to knock people out. Robot detects violence? canisters are released, where is the amount of people in the room.

And what happens when they are self-aware? I wonder how long it will be after that happens before they get proper 'human rights' Would it become illegal to shut them down? Would it become a legal requirement to look after and repair any robot you own? Or would they be expected to pay for their own repairs if abandoned? I'm really rambling at this point...

Yes, that's perfectly feasible in every situation. Just turn down that job you desperately need to live. Start a company in a situation where you really can't. Even my university had a clause upon joining about them owning any IP I create. It's getting absurd.

So you are suggesting that every single biologist/chemist/scientist in the world should get together, write a very long list of all the problems in the world ordered by importance. And then go down the list from 1 to n, all working on the exact same problem at the same time?

Another new euphemism to use now, "brb, gotta dust the bathroom"

Yes but the summary quote implies that google should bring opera developers into google to work with them, and that's just unfeasible.

But is he referring to optimized in general, or specifically for opera. Because honestly if he means just for opera why would google even bother? I anticipate that he meant in general however.

I'm unsure if you're referring to waking them up via the caffeine or via scalding them with extremely hot coffee. The scalding will be faster acting.

Could go with the tactic of emailing everyone who has had information requested an email that states that they are required by law to not inform anyone who has had their information requested. And ONLY emailing the people who have had it requested.

erm... I think money is the difference, yeah, definitely the money. Specifically the quantity of money involved.

I feel sad that I'll never get to use teleportation even if invented. If it's a molecular disassembler/reassembler I flat out refuse to ever use it and my biggest fear is being forced into one.

I think at that point we were well past the point of the leaders of countries rolling into battle along side the foot soldiers. I think everyone realized the stupidity of that tactic way before ww2...

Hey, don't forget. Porn of small breasted women is illegal in Australia because it's counted as child pornography...
