Add facial recognition and laser weapons and we could start zapping all pestilence from society.

Sounds a lot like Skynet forming a new node.

These will continue to be a novelty I think ... until some corporation figures out a way to build livable houses on affordable land with reasonable prices that incentivize people to live in these structures.

And I bet they would have to be 50% of the cost of a normal home.

Just some of my initial thoughts.

I grew up watching these cartoons. ;-)

Classic and great.

How will companies ensure security of their data when people can wear one of these in their glasses easily undetected?

The law of supply and demand is an economic model used to determine the price of an asset in a market.

This law explains that the unit price of an asset will vary until an equilibrium point is found where the quantity demanded will be equal to the quantity supplied.

This law of supply and demand will therefore lead to an economic equilibrium for the price of an asset as well as the volume of trade.

An existing asset in limited quantity for which demand would be strong would necessarily see its price increase if we stick to this law.

Indeed, strong demand from buyers would allow sellers to sell at a higher price.

 

I loved this show ....

Robots can't get the coronavirus.

Maybe she couldn't afford one?

Geez....

Why do economists all expect this virus to shave only 1% off of China's GDP?

Isn't this sort of a big deal economically speaking or am I missing something?

1368 deaths!!!   So sad...

@TrueTomHarley I haven't read that specific book but If you look on the links below you should see one with an expose type video from Glenn Beck that is pretty straightforward.

I hadn't thought about the Spanish usury laws getting in the way before.... Interesting.

Nothing like a little pressure from the military to get what they want....

Imagine this happening in the USA?

@TrueTomHarley It seemed pre-internet enough to make my point.

I'm not even sure though that the Internet is to blame for the polarization and censorship. 

At least the old man is trying to look better and not just letting himself go "to pot".... right?

Ok... I added a "Back to top" button on the lower right hand side....

Tell Kos and others to drop to the bottom of the page and hit the link “Go to top listing.” I think that will satisfy him (and me). He just wants to get to notifications.

I don't see or remember such a button.... but that does sound helpful. 

I haven’t figured out how to do infinite scroll AND pagination together yet.  Sorry.  

I made it that way site wide. 

Modern society seems so quick to want to muzzle people. 

Black and White

Label and Kill

No discourse. No dissention.

No tolerance of different ideologies.

The modern large corporations use AI to automatically block people. 

It seems to me society allowed crazy people to lie in 1980. Society dealt with it. 

Nowadays people are "shadow banned" and even doxxed online by evil netizen mobs.

Scary....

I started off believing in "Free Speech"..... still do.... I have learned though that you cannot be allowed to yell "fire!" in cinema.

There is a line.... it just seems like the world has moved that line way too close to embracing "Big Brother" mentality.

Ferrofluid is here poured over-top of a magnet. The magnet is locked within the superconductor's magnetic fields, allowing the fluid to float in midair around the magnet.
