Step 1: Take money from people

Step 2: Don't give it back

Step 3: Profit

I miss the innovative designs of old stoves.

I think people in the future might assign a value to a human-made work higher than than that of an AI work which will be nearly free. I think there will be plenty of work for those who want to work and we will have plenty of leisure time as well. I know that many years ago people thought electricity/steam engines would replace work and people would be unemployed but they didn't realize how much more complex the world could become and how many new jobs would be invented. At some point, all needs and wants will be automatically met and technology won't be able to advance any further but at that point we won't need money either.

This is my question as well. In order for us to keep consuming like we do now, we have to keep producing at the same level. If a lot of people work less, (or if people begin to consume more but work the same) then how are those goods/services provided?

Yeah, arguing that nobody will want to work if UBI is enacted is like saying that nobody would spend a decade in college to become a doctor when you could be a janitor instead. People will always want more money and to have a job they are passionate about and gives them a sense of fulfillment.

I don't understand the concern raised by the article's comment here. Most technology starts out as expensive and thus only available to the wealthy. Wealthy people literally subsidize many technologies for the rest of us.

Is this a call for subsidies for everyone from day 1 of treatment availability? Is it even possible to scale these treatments up that quickly?

You can insult lions all you want but they still have their pride.

I was hoping to find this in the comments when I clicked on the post. Happy to find it at the top.

For events and stuff like this valet is understandable. For getting a burger on a Wednesday night no thanks.

Am American and hate valet. Nothing like paying $5 so you can wait 15 minutes for a valet to pull your car from a spot 30 feet away. (Some restaurants don't have self parking and are mandatory valet. Also street parking is by residential permit only for several blocks and public transport is a joke)

What's even better is when you valet your car and have one too many drinks and do the responsible thing and take an Uber home. Then when you get home you realize your house key is with the valet. Fun times.

"Duh, I'm literally a rainbow. Now where's my boyfriend Kanye?"

"Do you like fish sticks?"

"Yeah"

Like a snake eating its own tail.

Yes. But also less chances of failure. I think airplanes are required to be able to fly with one engine out, regardless of how many they have. Maybe some here can confirm.

On point Onion article.

>“This works brilliantly. I was so impressed I bought two.”

Should we tell her?

I would guess that the lower you go in income the lower the rate of home ownership so it's not in the lowest income brackets control anyway regardless of cost.

Just wait until they have underwear ads in your dreams!

They could also have sank. I guess it really is sink or swim.

At first, the thought of a driverless truck is kinda scary. But then I remembered what it was like driving on Texas highways with drivers behind the wheel.

No pranks. I have an idea for a consumer product and I'm researching the viability.

What I'm looking for is to make a sports drink that would be resistant to freezing. I don't have a specific temperature in mind, although it would be really great if it could be kept from freezing in a normal household freezer (0F or -18C).

Cost, taste, and food safety are all vital so I'm not sure how low it could feasibility go. I've heard that Gatorade freezes at 18F (-8C) but haven't done any experimenting.

Thanks for the info!
