You can't automate to a level to replace them. You can automate order taking, but the human order taker who does it also cleans the store, fills and packages orders, leaves the store to clean the outside and dumps trash, answers custom

It's all unjustified to you until you actually have someone who steals to support their drug addiction, threatens coworkers, commits violence, or worse. So many people here seem to love the idea that drug users are these innocent peopl

It winds up making humans into race horses though, ultimately pointless but done so long as there remains some irrational mystique or cultural admiration for the practice. When there isn't, like bullfighting, the sport dies out.

chess is nowhere near as popular as it was in the 1980s, and chess clubs have been declining for some time.

It really won't. The fact is that even with an ebike, your effective radius is maybe fifteen miles in one day, which will take 45 minutes to an hour to cycle. Most people in the USA who need cars simply need transportation that is powe

I want you to dig some ditches for me. It will take you one hour per ditch to do, with some fairly strenuous work. For doing this, I will pay you the grand amount of $5 a ditch. Would you be jumping on the chance to supplement your income a

The market will work to price everyone to free. We see this with creative work, where most people have an effective negative minimum wage. You're better off working at a mcdonalds than write, draw, or create, and many places essentiall

I'm guessing a lot of it is homeless people. Even in retail, you'd be surprised at how many people go from their job to the shelter afterwards.

Do your budget sometime with an effective wage equal to $4 an hour. What does it cover? What can a person do effectively with that $4 an hour? Will it lift them out of poverty? Can they live on an effective wage of $4 an hour working 40 hou

a living wage makes sense because at $4.40 an hour, you are going to get people who will not show up when they feel like it, will rob you to make up for wages, and will not care about your business because they cannot making a living at it.

by Noos 9y ago
At that wage you are unemployed. You cannot afford anything at an effective rate of $5 an hour. All you are doing is making someone else richer.

It's probably less about making them build up their savings, and more about Walmart getting the poor to loan them money interest free, as well as pay them for the privilege through fees if they aren't smart.

One of the things I've noticed about people who offer solutions like this is that they tend to offer things they like to do or can do. You live a life that's amenable to bicycling. If you're a single mother working two part t

It's not even hygiene. When you ride a train, you cede control of your life to it: you have to plan things by schedule, if it's delayed you are delayed, and you don't even have the luxury of silence. people don't usually

That's an idealized version of trade. The problem is that benefits can be asymmetric and pushed by irrational means, when they aren't spurious. This may be done out of fradulent desires, but more commonly it's done because we

Hard to reconcile this with the existence of the kyouiku mama, the education mother. I also wonder if this also isn't ignoring all the students who don't do cram schools and who aren't salarymen capable, which is a lot of jap

yeah, the idea that this could cause you to be late for work seems to escape people.

When I was a kid, we used to have to replace chess pieces we lost while playing during lunch break with ersatz ones...pennies, nickels, etc. I'd like to see Deep Mind try to tell a game from that.

I don't think so. I think when you introduce computers to anything, you add more edge cases, not less. They are just different ones though. And I'm also skeptical about the quality of this software once it hits an actual mass-mark

Self-driving cars can make it easier to do this systemically, and not even purposefully. The jamming sensors I meant that another car passes by with a radar jammer on, for its intended purpose (jamming police radar sensors for speeding) and

Do people not get that this also shortens the life of the car? I mean, let's say I use it for a total of 12,000 miles per year. that's 10% of the time. If I rent it out for an additional 50% of the total time, that's going to

You are losing a lot of time and freedom in the desire to save money though.

No, it won't be efficient. People here simply are not thinking realistically. I want to go out to shop. Right now, I get out in my car, drive for twenty minutes to the mall, and leave when I want to do so. My kid is with me, but on the

I'd bet that if anything, it costs more to own an aircraft now than it does in the 1990s though, that might be a better comparison.

But this doesn't always happen. We have yet to see any electric car reach the price of a low-end kia or hyundai.

It's not ransomware i worry about. What about targeting the lidar/radar directly? Some people still have radar/laser jammers, and only ten states ban them. What on earth will your programming do to counter that? Or what if an

The problem though is that humans can adapt, and the AI in general can't. A go AI can play Go perfectly, but if a player overturns a board, it can do nothing to right this situation and resume playing. It's just following a list m

It probably won't be like that. Those in charge of the utopia generally never foresee the dystopian aspects well. Remember how people worried about overpopulation, until we found out westernization brings declining and even sub-replace
