They won't be just not working, they also won't have to work, for life. That might cause change of behavior.

More automation -> less jobs -> more pressure to keep working at the awful, but paying job you have. I think best solution is universal basic income, but that of course is far from being accepted in USA. But it gives power to people,

But that only works for static data?

When someone ask you how to get somewhere, it's same difference as between giving directions and getting behind the wheel to drive them there. I think car will still be in control, you just will tell it "drive slowly here, then he

Damn, I'd prefer Google stay out of this. Well, at least it's not Facebook...

Parent comment says that EU legislating for the whole world is bad. For example, UK (still EU yet) has antiporn laws, next they decide that all online porn should be forbidden, in the whole world. And so on. Is it good?

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think GDPR is not net good. It has its good parts, but overall it doesn't really improve security (think of all the big data breaches, GDPR wouldn't help there), but makes many things harder, espe

Maybe they do it as well, but you still can test just a limited are with this approach.

Your problem is with people, not slack, they can just go to skype or whatever tool they want.

Hm, interesting, always thought it was from parts 'med' and 'ved'. Though Ukrainian's 'vedmed' kinda contradicts suggestion that first part it 'medv'. Maybe it started some long time ago with &#x

You don't need that giant dense buildings for that and you don't need "lots" of cafes etc. 3-4 in a walking distance is better than nothing like in average suburbs. There's thousands people living in 20 minute walk

You describe advantages of transportation and location around the building, not advantages of the building itself. Because crammed building like this usually also means smaller living space, problem with sound from/to neighbors and the

Yes, it's ironic that greenpeace was created to battle nuclear, but if they didn't fight it, we'd probably have much more advanced nuclear tech with almost zero waste, and hence much cleaner world.

GDPR is not about money, you may not accept payments at all.

You complain about the problem but then add to it yourself. Post honest reviews. Host can't see it until they already wrote your review. There's also star ratings. I write honest reviews and also have "profile that shows me

That would be $3200k for each, but they are made out of titanium, not platinum, and most of the cost is in the work, not material. I'd like to know the price too though.

Hm, maybe exactly because of that? Dentists are reluctant to lose these extra appointments because of extra revenue? :) Don't know how it would affect total traffic though.

Because that's how it is here (Russia). It's wide spread scheme - crime groups "cover" some territory (usually where there's a lot of walk traffic) and take money from all the beggars which stay on that territory. H

I don't think you should blame yourself about beggars, it's not hypocritical. I don't usually give any money to beggars too, because most probably they are related to some crime groups (someone takes away most of donated mone

That one's easy, no one need to pay US military to safe your property from Russian attacks because there won't by any.

I always wondered why (at least in America) credit cards have more consumer protections? It's essentially the same way to use money, if someone steals from your credit card you're protected, but if it's debit card, it's

Even if shots were really fired, what kind of a strategy is to shoot anyone in sight? How do you know it's a perpetrator and not an escaped hostage?

Most spoken first language. But much more people can speak English overall. When people from Greece, Sweden, Estonia, Slovenia meet, they will most probably could speak English as common language, not German. Let's all stick to one glo
