I also don't agree with the sentiment that the intellect of these people would lead them to turn the tables on their captors. Are you really going to risk having your whole family eradicated? I think it would only take a couple surveil

All the world's economies artificially prop up the market and, surprise, General Re is now a gem and the king still has no clothes on.

Or, you know, pay the royalty you agreed to pay and stop being a thieving scum. I would think they have some sort of enforcing mechanism. It almost seems like the $3,000 limit is a signal of the cutoff when it starts becoming worthwhile to

There is so much of that kind of thing going on. It's even worse when public money paid for "research" that resulted in a product that is then sold back to the government and then additional contracts are issued to improve, c

Very good points. It has really been baffling me why, especially in an industry like tech, where products for distributed networking and communications are developed, companies are so hell-bent on co-location. I have my suspicions that it a

I am not sure you are fully connected into the situation anymore. Rents have increased around 40% over 5 years on average and that includes the outlying areas that aren't really even Austin anymore. Home prices are skyrocketing and out

That's just plain stupid. Of course there are reasons for countries. Look at the subject countries, the USA vs. Mexico.

All feel good fuzzies about American dream this and that aside.... let me get this straight, he's an illegal alien creating an illegal business with illegal documents in order to break laws by flying drones for commercial purposes?

It's got to lie in creating consequences and re-associating incentives. As long as war makes people rich, it will be perpetuated and we will squander money that could have led us to far better outcomes. With wealth and income disparity

The "wars" and the militarism is essentially just a tool to extract ever more money from the government, the economy, and tax payers in order to funnel them to wards the power brokers. It's a kind of scam similar to a multile

What you don't quite understand is that there are inherent costs of inefficiencies of monopoly from a militaristic system like ours. Sure, all the people "employed" by defense contractors and military are funneling money into

You aren't quite hitting the nail on the head. It's not about funneling money into the economy, it's about manipulating the systems of governance to make theft of public resources and money tenable. It's the same reason

The answer is that we have been goaded into seeing our military as a tool rather than an necessary and reluctant engagement for self defense, by an enemy more heinous, pernicious, and destructive than any enemy our country will ever face. T

Has anyone heard a theory that the environment and types of scenario that the author is describing could be the result of concerted efforts to undermine the American education system? I know it sounds rather far fetched, but does no one rem

You know what, that's EXACTLY what we need. Because all the failures of all the other incompetent government agencies have not worked. What we really need is more of that. To be fair; the only thing that is really saving us is that all

Imagine a future where the artificial neural network decides that humans are unfit for life on this planet because that guy kicked the robot and the data about the event lived in perpetuity. Talk about long memory. It almost seems like an u

So how many of you think you or your children will survive the massacre once AI robots make human work unnecessary for the ruling class to live a life of exploit.

Sorry, but that's just nonsense. We already have that; it's called air medical services.

The problem is the pervasiveness of our new business models that depend on perpetual dependence and licensing. It is rather ironic that in the country most obnoxious about freedom and personal property, we never really own anything; we are

I agree, there are actually very few government agencies that can be bothered to give even half a fart about anything they are essentially charged with. Between Congressional undermining and bureaucratic incompetence, they are essentially t

That may be true, but not matter what you say and how little I trust my own government based on what I know, I trust the Chinese government far less in spite of a fare more shallow understanding.
