Maybe it has something to do with all our politicians being older than my parents... who can barely figure out email.


The thing is, the burden of proof shouldn't be on the victim to prove that the loan was fraudulent. The bank should have to prove that it was valid otherwise it's automatically ruled in the victim's favor. You know, innocent until proven guilty and all that.


Companies don't have guns and prisons. Invading your privacy is a little different than being shot or thrown in jail.


Flipping burgers every day for the rest of your life is a sad waste of human potential. We as a society can do better. This robot is one step, other steps are involved like Universal Basic Income or actually paying content creators.


The problem is underemployment, not unemployment. People work but can't get enough money from their work—even when they are working 2-3 jobs to try to support their family.


Also the principal way they remove competition.


Apple hears ya, Apple don't care.


Yeah apparently from people familiar with the deep black hole that is Radar you're supposed to keep submitting bugs, dupes count as a vote or something.

The problem is, our society right now only pays for "physical stuff". Hardware and services that are made and performed by people (who are usually in poverty).

However, think of all the artists/musicians/journalists that spend just as much "work" producing this content that you consume for free on the internet. We haven't figured out how to pay those people yet, except through internet advertising.

Now look at the most profitable company: Google. We make pretty much all of our record profits through advertising. Yet everyone hates advertising, and it's only getting worse, as evidenced by the ad-blocker wars happening right now. Lets get rid of the middle-man advertisers, and pay those content creators fairly for their work. UBI is one way to do this.


Except they wouldn't be able to detect people wearing masks, which is probably an important thing for a security camera to do...


It's really funny if you leave that tab and then come back. Probably some wackiness with Chrome's new disabling of background CPU usage.
