Apple introduced a $600 iPad with a keyboard.
That is a different model, the iPad Pro. The Neo runs MacOS.
It's (Mac) Netbook 2.0, nothing more than that.
Sure, if you want to live in denial. You can read or watch reviews of it online that details that is not true. Most if not all reviews say the same thing: It is a pretty good $600 laptop. It has flaws and it is not the best laptop but for your average consumer the price and capabilities align.
I've posted this several times before. The workweek can be modeled as two linear equations based on rate of production vs rate of consumption. But you can also see the equations empirically -

"During the first post-Civil war depression (1873-1878), jobs bifurcated into two categories - "new technology" skilled jobs and existing "unskilled" jobs. The new jobs were lucrative enough that employers tended towards a 48-hour workweek for about twenty years, then the 60-hour jobs fell to 48 hours during the 1890s.
During the Great Depression, 25% unemployment was eventually solved by government legislation - a mandatory 40 hour workweek and child labor laws."
Both depressions were the culmination of long-term technology booms. It's likely that we're near a third.

"Assume the declining cost of information (COI) has driven economic activity for fifty years. Then the stagnation or increase of COI could be disasterous for the economy. The preceding graph shows an inflection point in Internet user growth, implying that Internet growth is slowing and will soon stagnate."
Do you think the new supreme leader is going to somehow be more rational than the last one?
That's the simplicity of the system I already outlined for you up above. Just repeat until one is. Iran will run out of irrational ayatollahs long before America runs out of bombs.
If by simple, you mean simplistic, then yeah. What you're forgetting is that every time a bomb kills someone's mother, father, brother, sister, wife, son, or daughter, another America hater is born. So there's likely to be an endless supply of irrational leaders, so long as they are put into power by someone bombing the previous leader along with random military targets.
The only regime changes that are ever really positive long-term are regime changes led by the people of a country against their leaders. All other regime changes are statistically more likely to make things worse than better.
"Most of what makes neighborhood streets dangerous is pedestrians" - not in the UK.
Let me restate that. Most of what makes neighborhood streets dangerous is vehicles and pedestrians using the same space at similar times.
Pedestrians have priority over all forms of transport on the road.
Who has priority is largely uninteresting, because ultimately if a car hits you, you're still probably dead whether you had the right of way or not.
Vehicles make the roads dangerous
Ostensibly, sure, if you got rid of all the cars, streets would be safer for pedestrians, but they would also be a huge waste of space, because pedestrians don't need huge roads to walk. Roads exist principally for cars. The fact that pedestrians have to cross them is just an unfortunate design constraint that's hard to avoid cheaply, and giving pedestrians priority is mostly just feel-good policymaking that doesn't solve any of the fundamental problems.
The only truly safe way to share the space is to ensure that pedestrians aren't in the road when cars are. The best approach, at least in cities, is second-floor walkways, so that pedestrians and cars are never vertically at the same traffic layer. A slightly less optimal, but still reasonable approach is to give pedestrians a separate walk cycle in which the entire intersection is theirs. Pedestrians have priority during that cycle, and cars have priority the rest of the time, and as long as everyone follows the rules, nobody gets hurt.
But none of those solutions work for neighborhood streets, which is why the presence of pedestrians on neighborhood streets without sidewalks and proper traffic control for pedestrians results in the roads being inherently more dangerous than other streets.
So far as fulfillment warehouses go, feasibility is already 100%, that is to say there is no task needed to be performed that can not currently be done by machines.
Again Amazon will replace ALL of their warehouse workers as soon as it is feasible. So far they have only been able to replace some of them.
I've never been canoeing before, but I imagine there must be just a few simple heuristics you have to remember... Yes, don't fall out, and don't hit rocks.
