If your primary social interaction is with machines that flatter and placate, why participate in a democracy at all? Maybe vote the machines to be in charge to avoid the whole confusing thing of communicating and coexisting with other human beings.

If no human being interacts with AI until age 20, what is the harm? We know this already works.

The burden of proof is on those who want to change the current status quo.

A camera that reports on people who don't floss. They could sell the research data to dentists.

from your walls? no.
from every rack in every rural exchange? sure, if it wasn't already done a decade ago.
from nearly every last mile? makes a lot of financial send. Easier done if you're already in there to pull new fibre or if the copper can be pulled with the duct and winch method. You could have a handful of crews working full-time and every day they work they'd recover more copper than it costs you to pay them.

They should pull a Bezos. Jensen and Lisa can buy TIME so they will write better articles about them. Since time is an obsolute way of thinking, Jensen can rename it "Speed of Light" or SOL magazine.

In school I was taught HOMES - Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior.
I'm not going to learn a new mnemonic that will only be valid for another 2 years (or less).

As a compromise, I recommend we rename a lake after Trump:

MATHS - Michigan, America, Trump, Huron, Superior

While it seems obvious to rename Superior to Trump, let us remember that Erie is the shallowest and most pollute of the Great Lakes.

Apple took more risks under Jobs. But Apple made more money under Cook. And for those of us that neither use Apple products nor work there, our investment portfolio prefers Cook.

Thanks for the tip. I am normally unable to address more than one problem at a time. Which is why Trump's strategy to distract me from the pedophilia scandal and Iran war is so incredibility effective against my simple mind.

And there's data to back this up, or is this just a theory you have?

Google complies because they fear being cut out of the no-bid quid pro quo bureaucracy that currently dominates all political decision-making in the White House.

From a 7 year old article on the subject:

The median age of a new BMW owner is 56 years old.

Age Breakdown of New Buyers:
* Under 24: 1%
* 25 to 54 years: 40%
* 55 to 64 years: 29%
* 65 years and older: 30%

My read: some 60%+ of BMW buyers grew up thinking power windows and power locks are luxuries. And probably struggled to program a VCR back in the day. It's not the tech-literate customer base that BMW thinks it is, or rather I think BMW knows exactly who buys their cars but want some new blood.

If that's true, then these hypothetical younger BMW buyers are likely very poor drivers.

But I'd also caution against making promises that you can't keep.

Unless it's a floppy disk that has a hole that breaks the circuit to the write head, it's not actually "write protected"
I remember when motherboards had a jumper you had to move in order to apply a BIOS update. I suspect most people found this inconvenient or too complicated for end-users, but it was also a lot harder to put irremovable malware into computer back then.

I think these people didn't realize that it's all recorded.
