We are still a ways off, but this is where things are headed.
We might not need the parking, but the roads will be useful.
Except municipalities explicitly write expected seizures into their annual budgets. They literally must seize property to make their planned budget.
This, and Hololens, and similar, will fail for a while, and I'm thinking it will be decades. I'm placing my bet now.
The alternative is to post ANYTHING other than "These 5 weird things are making you procrastinate" and similar.
"There are difficult multithreading scenarios, just as there are difficult scenarios in the single-threaded world. But those are relatively rare."
Is this some sort of flame bait?
It's like wanting to enter a high end auto race and you just buy a sports car off the lot. It will be expensive and slow. The fast cars are custom built because the market is small and the requirements are unique.
Let's put it this way:
In exchange for clean, constant, domestically sourced, almost unlimited energy for an entire year, each person must dispose of or store their waste, which is the size of...
A pill of aspirin.
You could just put it in a little lead jar. That's all the waste. The alternative is fossil fuel waste, which would be...
10 tons of CO2 (volume = 5 American houses) which floats into the atmosphere, plus 2 tons of coal ash.
Of course, everyone can just pool their resources and put all the radioactive waste together. I don't consider it to be a very serious or unsolvable problem.

Guns are simple.
Guns are 17th century technology.
I'm convinced that trademark and copyright gives us all the IP tools we need. Patents can get f'ed.
Matchmaking is centralized, but the game can be configured for third party matchmaking servers.
If it was good enough for 90s games, it's good enough for today's games.
Any game without motion blur is going to show momentary disjointed images, which is alleviated by motion blur. However, you still want the high frame rate for smoothness and low response time for inputs.
Real world: Customer A thinks the $14 pizza is overpriced. No sale. Customer B thinks the $14 pizza is delicious and worth it. Would pay up to $20 if forced. Pays $14 and enjoys $6 in surplus value.
Ideal world: Customer A thinks the $14 pizza is worth about $6. Buys it for $6 (Arriving at the deal is the tricky part). Customer B thinks the $20 pizza is worth about $20. Buys it for $20 (Arriving at the deal is the tricky part).
Now both customers are happy with their pizzas, and the pizza maker made $26 in revenue instead of $14.
There is no "true" price for anything. It's not morally wrong for the cheap customer to pay $1 in a PWYW deal, and it's not morally wrong for the seller to enjoy it when someone pays $100 in the same deal.
It's painful for an engineer to be told to do MORE with less time and less "quality", but the business cares about more than just code.
The rest of the components cost about $90. It's competing with Chinese bikes.
The plan has not been thought through, but it's great news bait.
This is happening right now. In the third quarter of 2012, PC sales were down 8 percent on a year-over-year basis worldwide. In the U.S., sales were down 14 percent. A big chunk of the decline can be attributed to the rise of the iPad."
Or just that PC speeds have reached a plateau, and common desktop applications no longer need the latest hardware. The continuous upgrade cycle is slowing. I think that speaks for the 8% on its own.
On second glance, this whole article is borderline troll bait.
Evidence that the main use case for patents - protecting true innovation and development - does not even need the patent system.
My wife and friends (24-27 years old) have been getting their glasses at $100 a pop, no strings attached, from these companies for a few years.
