How is this European socialism? I'm unaware of such restriction in Europe. Also, the zoning rules in most of Europe are much saner.

Speculating wildly here, would it be possible after a meal to drink a liquid, which contains chemicals which bound to the carbs and makes them un-absorbable? Some sort of carb neutralizer? Basically vomiting your meal out like the romans di

Since bio neurons are more complex than "neural network nodes" let's say we dedicate one CPU core per neuron. 100k cores is a pretty standard supercomputer. So we should soon be able to control a robot fly?

I'm pretty sure a lot of Uber drivers who weren't aware of "vomit fraud" now are. In many countries, the previous scammy taxi drivers are now Uber drivers. I thus expect "vomit fraud" to expand unless Uber mana

Not sure what your point is. Coding is significantly harder than writing or pressing two buttons on a video camera, which is also visible in salaries - basic journalist vs. basic camera operator vs. basic coder
