It's fundamentally a stupid idea, because the brain is not a computer and doesn't execute instructions like one
Consciousness appears to act a single-threaded program. It is what leads up to consciousness that is not like a single-threaded program.
Questions remains: now that survival is tied to having an 40 h/week job, what do we do with with all those we don't need.
Disposable servants. Gladiator games. Sex toys. I am sure some will be deliberately tortured for entertainment purposes. Hunting trophies.
Need I go on?
Has nobody told them that people don't like having their lives disrupted, particularly when they don't see any compensating benefit, or even a convincing reason for having any of it?
LOL, as if 'the people' matter. Only money matters bro. The people will be inconvenienced, or die. Money doesn't care.
Make it make sense. Because Greed is destroying the point of a student. And a classroom.
And life.
I would do the same if I could. The parking garage where I live has no outlets and will never have outlets. The building itself will be torn down before outlets are ever considered.
Sure Anonymous Coward. Never more than 15 minutes charging, which means you made a LOT of stops. Along a major Interstate highway. I know for a fact that you never went outside of densely populated areas as there are no chargers on highway 237 or county road 98.
Potential customers are obsessed with range.
Despite all your bloviating about 800 mile trips, when it takes hours to 'fill up', any mile/range goal is not 'far enough'.
In other words, it is not about the range. Lots of people only get 200 miles per tank of gas (average is closer to 300) and it is not a serious issue. But keep on harping about range, just like the manufacturers.
Yes, absolutely. The battery absolutely MUST not replaceable. It must be part of the structure of the car. I know why replaceable batteries are resisted and it disgusts me.
While I agree with your point, negligence is still at play here. What if she had been 30 years younger? How many people have died unnecessarily when visiting that hospital?
The real problem with solar and wind is that they scale down to the individual level. No government can afford to have its citizens needs be independent of the government. How else will the government controls its citizens? Through fulfilled promises and actual work? LOL, how else will the few get rich at the expense of the many?
I should add here, that the fact that I have named both a left wing and a right wing extremist should make it clear that this should not be a partisan issue.
Agreed.
Everyone should be able to come together and say that traitors have to be dealt with.
Accurately identifying traitors is harder than you seem to think. What if someone in authority claims YOU are the traitor? What if someone in authority IS the traitor. Your world seems so black and white, where identifying things is clear and obvious. Sure, we can identify some traitors that everyone agrees is clearly a traitor, but we can not identify all and in the attempt to identify all, we will strip ourselves of all Freedom and Liberty.
I genuinely wish that the world was as simple as you delude yourself into thinking it is.
The reality is that more taxes simple mean more for bureaucrats to squander.
You are correct; however, I would like to make it more pointed:
The reality is that more taxes simply mean more for bureaucrats to send to their friend's and family's companies.
In other words, more taxes means more wealth transfer from the general public to the 'wealthy elite'.
Wealth inequality happens any time you have trade in value, this can be proven mathematically, and it applies to any value in any system.
Wealth inequality is desirable.
The person who is smarter/stronger/harder working should have more wealth than the person who sits around smoking weed and masturbating all day. The thing is, it is not US (people) that should be deciding what others should own, it should be 'nature' that decides. That means the smart/strong/harder working person may not end up with more wealth because they were infected by a parasite that stole their eyesight.
It doesn't matter which economic system is used, it needs to not be corrupted. I would prefer Capitalism as it represents nature most effectively; however, all Economic systems become corrupted because humans are corrupt.
Why would they duplicate the dev effort and take on the expense of creating software which would then make it more difficult to interoperate with their American business / trade partner?
An entity should ALWAYS be self sufficient.
Teamwork makes the dream work; however, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
We need to identify those people that are spreading Russian propaganda on social media, for example, and we need to ensure that they are completely and utterly dealt with.
That you think this is possible speaks volumes. Quality propaganda mirrors real life concerns. How will you identify someone who is raising real life concerns vs someone who is doing the same thing, but for non-obvious purposes (aka evil propaganda)? The thought processes that will weed such personnel out are the same that are used for absolute dictatorial control. In other words, your idea is a complete non-starter for anyone who wants to live in a "Free" society.
