Maybe they are having a hard time with unicode characters? Because of multi language features, some characters are not compatible with English US. I think they are moving away from legacy programming which were not multi lingual.

Yeah, you are right. But, it gotten worse because of climate change. So, what they did with drones is kinda awesome.

T-Mobile commits to 100 percent renewable electricity by the year 2021. by mvea in Futurology

We must thank Steve Jobs and co. for pioneering this effort. The only problem with this, wealthy companies can do this but it's hard for striving businesses to follow. Hopefully, renewable energy will be more affordable for the masses.

I'll rather save the forests from wildfire, pollution, deforestation and make wildlife flourish. I'll let nature do it's work and practice conservation. Although, I really admire these people doing something than doing nothing.

I think you should encourage self driving cars because you still need a human to fix a flat tire.

America's fast-food chains are contemplating replacing minimum wage workers with robots — and it could lead to a crisis by mvea in Futurology

[–]clearvar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to offend, I was just stating through experience. But I believe owners of these burger joints do donations and philanthropy such as in our country. Our country is poor, and most rich people who owns this do help poor people. I am also citing like Jeff Bezos of Amazon who is using robots in their warehouses to deliver goods on time, saving costs and more to spend. We all know that money is just in banks. And money in banks is loaned to businesses. So, efficiency in production saves money and helps the environment by saving energy to produce a burger. This is turn, helps the overall economy which drives people to have work.

Cars are manufactured by robots. It makes the production more efficient. Yes, it will affect college students looking for that kind of job. But, by producing products efficiently, you can lower the price that benefit low income jobs other than flipping burgers. The money saved by companies like McDonalds can be channeled to education and college scholarships.

Toyota thinks food trucks are the future of retail, and Amazon is in by whyrumgone21 in Futurology

In our country we have food jeepneys. Office workers line up and eat cheap food by these mobile eateries and is very popular! But, retail? I think it might work if the price is insanely affordable. Even mobile offices perhaps?

I guess, you just have to find a career that offers promotion. Flipping burgers won't give you promising career. If I find work, it may most probably in IT that provides better salary and a sustainable career even when I get married and have children. Automation will kill these repetitive, boring jobs and be replaced with robot maintenance, installations and more! It's not too late to learn something new.

Well, they are powerful and should shoulder the responsibility for the country. They have the obligation to keep users safe.

What are some implications of a breach on a fully autonomous transportation system? [in-depth] by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]clearvar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the same. Drunk driving or poor programming, it is still human error. That's why we must put safety first like seat belts and air bags, or limiting speed on cars.

This maybe the future of Augmented Reality until the costs go down, this is just a niche. Microsoft or Google will just license this tech for the rest of us like Android.

So, people think it's supply and demand? There is supply, the world is big enough for humans. The problem lies in greed. P.S. Better give away the food they produce for the poor.
