Kind of thought large scale BI would come as a result of widespread automation of the labor force. This has some good points about potential sources for funding BI, as well as examples of places that have implemented some form of BI (including Alaska), and it's effects on local populations, poverty and personal productivity.

So does this mean there are good deals on alibaba?

The lack of xpath support is an issue to me. Why doesn't FF have xpath support? Chrome and Firebug have/had this.

Seems possible that as automation of delivery services becomes more widespread (e.g. drone delivery), and as both remote work opportunities and entertainment technologies increase, there will be less of an incentive, or at least less of a financial/work-related incentive to for populations to accrete around centralized urban developments. So the growth of urban vs. rural or suburban population rates may potentially slow in a few decades. Maybe, but probably not, idk.

Seems potentially unlikely that a consumer could own and (auto-)operate a self-driving vehicle at a rate competitive with Uber & Lyft (or whatever corp.), who could purchase in bulk and have their cars operate for significantly less.
