Politically, the US would never accept it, at least not without Canada's approval, and a blue state to add to balance it out.

Reply to comment by Aromatic_Wave in TIL the Iowa Writer’s Workshop was used to fight communism abroad and domestically from the 1940s through the 1970s, and received substantial funding from the CIA to do so. by big_papa_geek
The idea was to fund art in a diferent style than what the soviets made. The Soviets had a 'socialist realism' style, so the CIA boosted abstract and stylized art, so the Soviets would look dated.
Although it's more likely that the Soviet's stifling, top down system made artistic expression and change difficult, causing them to look dated regardless of what the CIA did.

Only in LEO. Interplanetary space is many, many orders of magnitude larger.

No. It's in interplanetary space.

Reply to comment by TheNightIsLost in TIL: Zhu Youcheng is the only emperor in Chinese history, to be married to one wife and remain faithful to her, having no concubines. He was a hardworking emperor, lowering taxes, reducing spending, and demonstrating tolerance for Muslims. His son, however, had a haram so large, some starved. by Flares117
There is a high probability that his son played a roll in assassinating him.

One of the goal they had going into the war was to push south and take control of the Midwest with Tecumseh, which ended in retreat, the annihilation of most of their native allies, and losing naval control of the Great Lakes forever.

America isn't America either in that case. Regions of the US with more immigrants have higher wage growth. The states that don't have any immigrants to 'keep wages down', are poorer, and have slower growth.

That seems like common sense. No wonder people are opposed.

That is what basically all Brits, Americans and French say. Canadians like to say it was a victory though.

It's a really, really good show, and the next episode was the finale. That is always going to cause a lot of talk.

I'm past that point, and there is a huge difference between engineering class, and actually working in the industry. You picked a good career, and by all accounts, its only getting better with time. You'll find that VCs, investors and big companies aren't enemies. It's a symbiotic relationship where we all get paid very well.

There is no "we", just a bunch of "I"s, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to sell you something.

What "we"? "We" aren't developing robots. Engineers are, they are very well paid, and they have no interest in or motive to help the working class. You talk about your animosity towards the elites, you don't think the feelings are mutual?
>Technology throughout human history has always meant increased leisure time for a given civilization
Thanks for the concern, the people making the robots get plenty of vacation days.
