So what, another great depression?

Maybe for latin american countries, but the rest of the world seems to be staying very stable with seemingly "boring" and "grey" projections, except for India which continues their rise as an economic powerhouse.

Keep in mind also that Chinas GDP is expected to be highly inflated and is probably somewhere between 3-4%, not 6-7%. This is according to several other banks, in addition Chinese officials has stated that they don't trust their own projections of 7% previous to this.

USA is a country where you get arrested simply for being naked in public. If you're living in a place like that, you're not living in a "free country". "Crime" includes a lot of things that SHOULDN'T be considered crimes, yet the lawmakers are not immune to bribery, so go figure. That trickles down to law enforcement (police) who go out of their way - because it's their job - to arrest people who aren't doing anything to anybody else, but the superficial nature of their activity is enough for people to attach their insecurities to, and then they want law enforcement to act on that.

If "free country" means a sellout country filled with entitled narcissists, then sure. Welcome to america

She's not wrong, but this is the pot calling the kettle black. It's obvious that all of these candidates pander to their specific demographics.

For the fucktards who use social media and put their personal info, I say they got what they deserve, if your landlord finds out about your fetishes that's on you for letting it out on social media, but this is some 1984 level shit.

somehow you think that's not the doing of the already existing companies.

Do we know how these chemicals react?

Just out of lazy curiosity

very little is known about these elements and their properties. The half-lifes are very short. I don't think anyone has obtained a long enough lasting sample to be able to test its reactivity with other elements and compounds but scientists can make educated guesses. If you look up each of the elements by their numbers you can find their old temporary names to look up the properties of. Here is 115 (Moscovium):

I guess we have to wait for someone in Congress to be affected for them to take action.

>>48079
Most people in congress are so tech illiterate they are either running vista or can't find the difference between 7/8/10

Or don't be a pussy and read Infowars.

>One of the first obvious applications for DeepText will start rolling on Messenger. When DeepText identifies a sentence it thinks means you need a ride, it will suggest you use Messenger transportation integrations with services like Uber and Lyft. Recognizing “I need a ride” is easy, but it should also be able to pick up on things like “Should I call a car?”, “I can pick you up in 20”, or “I’ll get an Uber”.

>Facebook explains that “to get closer to how humans understand text, we need to teach the computer to understand things like slang and word-sense disambiguation. As an example, if someone says, “I like blackberry,” does that mean the fruit or the device?”

>Of course, the privacy implications might rattle some people. Facebook is now highlighting that it scans the content of your private messages — something that made Facebook the target of a class-action lawsuit in the past.
...

>But at the same time DeepText could help Facebook weed out harassment and abuse. If it can automatically pick out hate speech from status updates that merely contain controversial terms, it could prevent a human from ever suffering the harassment and having to report it manually. Facebook already says that its AI systems report more offensive photos than humans on its social network.

>With DeepText and its other image recognition AIs, Facebook could make huge improvements in how it routes content from authors to viewers. That could give it a leg-up over other social networks like Snapchat or Twitter without the know-how or product design to aggressively filter and suggest what people see.

>The gap between the AI haves and have-nots is widening. If every News Feed post looks interesting, you’ll spend more time on Facebook, you’ll share more text there, DeepText will get smarter, and the Facebook AI feedback wheel will spin faster and faster towards becoming the perfect content recommendation engine.

I wonder why that news is ignored

Because it has nothing to do with the shooting. This guy just liked weapons. Thats all. Tannerite is much fun when you shoot it. Take a few rifles and head to some remote area.

Do they have a script they use?
I'd like to think sometimes it's that kind of dramatic irony.

>It may be tempting to paint Paris as a lone eco-warrior, fighting pollution levels that at times have been among the worst in the world. But the new ban rests substantially on anti-pollution action taken at the national level in France—action that has actually been watered down thanks to pressure from Paris’s mayor, among others. The upcoming old-car ban in fact relies on a new national system of classifying cars according to their emissions levels. Starting July 1, French cars will be grouped into six categories depending on the degree of pollution they create. Drivers can then apply to receive a display disc for their windshield. Such discs (which are free for the next 6 months, and €5 after) won’t as yet be compulsory across France, though drivers of zero and very-low emitting vehicles will get some occasional perks (such as priority parking) that make applying worth their while.

>The new windshield discs will, however, be obligatory in Paris, where the most polluting of the six categories (all vehicles registered before December 31, 1996) will face the weekday ban. If anything, the new categories could have been tighter. Originally, the national plan was to divide cars into four categories rather than six, in order to place restrictions on the most polluting fourth. In Paris, this could have meant up to 10 percent of the city’s private vehicle fleet being forced off the roads, a radical change liable to cause an uncomfortable backlash. Mayors from Paris, Versailles and Grenoble thus petitioned (successfully) for the diluted, more nuanced system being brought in this July.
...

>The new rules will still affect up to 30,000 vehicles currently registered in Paris. The moves won’t be popular with everyone (and will likely affect people on lower incomes more) but Paris’s political structure has arguably helped it achieve greater acceptance. As a mayor governing only the 2.2 million citizens living in the historic core of Paris’s wider metro area, Anne Hidalgo is answerable to an electorate who already rely substantially on public transit and who suffer more than most the long-term effects of car commuter-related pollution. It may be a jolt for older vehicle owners, but Paris seems to be ready for change.

5 years later, will they pass a new law forbidding cars from before 2002?

If my income was taken care of, id quit my job, sit back and relax. If I earn my paycheck without working, why in the fuck would I work? I own my house, and like it. I'm not going to keep working for a bigger house, id much rather enjoy time with my family. On top of that, assuming liberals are correct in saying that there will be no inflation, id save money on food, because id be able to cook all my meals. My house would be kept up better seeing as I have time to do maintenance, saving me money on repairs. Id use much less gas, as my 1:30 hour drive is gone.

So basically, id do absolutely fucking nothing. Enjoy life, which would drive employment rates way down. And if less people are buying gas, companies raise the price to accommodate the lost revenue. If more people are buying groceries for home cooking, demand goes up, along with prices. Now that everyone can afford Aunt Millie's Luxury Bread, Aunt Millie Co™ has to raise the price to keep it a luxury product. No one buys store brand if they don't have to.
Now that everyone is quitting, companies are struggling to keep cooks, service techs, and receptionists. To keep the workload down, they're turning away customers to other companies (causing a sort of monopoly) or raising prices.

You get the point. I don't care what Democrats say, free money doesn't work.

Because jobs will become status symbols. Your gonna feel pretty peer pressured when all your friends have jobs AND the basic income. Its literally just a fairer welfare system that doesnt discriminate against anyone except recent arrivals, and for good reason. Keeps the muzzies away.
I say its a good idea and the Swiss are one of the few places on earth where its actually feasible right now. It keeps the poor from dying and boosts everyone else as well.
One day, probably in our lifetime, automation and job outsourcing will reach the point where all 1st world countries wont have a choice and will have to implement basic income.
Granted, as a US citizen with his ear to the ground my impression is that my country plans to use various indirect means to poison, imprison, or encourage suicise for as many poor as possible before that happens
