Flying car completes test flight between airports
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57651843
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is certainly technology that is looking like it has promise. I still dont get the concept since we have helicopters. I am on record as saying that it might end up moving cargo around but I dont think people will end up using it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You may be right. The domain name I almost bought years ago aircar dot com, now redirects to aircargo carriers dot com. I could maybe see this as a fast shuttle service to avoid road traffic out of airports. But like you said, they have helicopters for that as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I mean if helicopters arent widely used, why would VTOLs. I dont know, many there will be radically different pricing which could make them more appealing.
But think of the publicity when the first one crashes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly. I'm struggling to see where flying cars would fit in. Helicopters always get in the way. Maybe delivery services like Amazon and FedEx for upscale customers who want that package now? But then you have delivery drones as well. This may be yet another reason I didn't purchase that domain. I couldn't see a market for flying cars.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think they will be just a fancy option for rich hipsters or something like that
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How bad will the crashes be? Will it smash into a building and cause a large amount of chaos?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Did you want to buy that to re-sell later or did you have plans for that domain?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That was back during the squatting phase when people read about that story of someone buying a domain name and then selling it for 12 million dollars. I would have held and then flipped it.
I didn't buy it due to the lack of information about researh into flying cars, thinking I'd have to hold it too long.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So did it sell yet or are you still waiting?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh right
I have a friend who did that with the name of our hometown. It did not sell for much though
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I tend to agree with you on that one.
But they do look cool though... lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the fact that it is something that dates back to the Jetsons is what is causing people to pursue this because it is "futuristic".
I think autonomous driving and bullet trains will be a bigger deal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, that's probably the case
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do they have any plans on preventing stuff from falling off the car? Gravity can kill if they just toss a can from outside the window.
I am also interested in whether or not airports would actually use it...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good point, hadn't thought of that, recalling junk thrown out of cars on the highway. I don't know how high these things will be flying though. I picture them flying between buildings in large cities as in Blade Runner.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Again another futuristic concept that is bored into the minds of people. I am not sure this is what we should be striving for with our "futurism".
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I recall trying to figure out the range of these things and how they would be fueled and couldn't see them "taking off" so to speak. :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I mentioned that the other day although I doubt they will have windows that open.
But it is a concern. What if a wheel falls off. That could really cause a major problem.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, a can is not really a problem.. I think considering terminal velocity a can or other smaller pieces of trash wouldn't be too much of an issue but a wheel could be devastating depending where it lands
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a valid point. Can't imagine people doing drunk driving or flying.
I am wondering how are they going to do the driving license test for these things. 😂
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would imagine they are working on autonomous on that end of things also.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow man. It'd be really cool to have one of those. 😂

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What's happening? I am a little confused. Is it harmful to upvote posts that were done before the HF?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Anything you voted before the hard fork will no longer have curation rewards and it will all go to the late voters (after hard fork). It will last until 1 week after the hard fork.

Got it. Thanks for the info. That's why I have been getting upvotes on older posts. 😂

In spite of the pullback, there are still a lot of Bitcoin optimists.
Bitcoin to $280K.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Another one claiming we will never see these Bitcoin levels again.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is possible. According to some videos I saw and some analysis I have also seen, it will depend on what happens (if it drops) at the 30k level. If it fails to keep it then the bull traders might capitulate and if it doesn't then the bears might.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think this idea is a bit longer term. Wherever we bottom, that is probably the last time at those levels. We might never see $20K again which was the all time high for a long time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I think I think its almost decision time for BTC so 280k is probably still on the tables for now.

The chartist seems to think so. I think Stock-2-Flow has it around there also.

I am not really sure about this . I will take a look at the code tomorrow and let you know :) My guess is it will still be available .

Thanks for trying to answer my question! 🙂
Yes I believe it would. I dont think the HBD is moved from savings until it ends up in the liquid part of your wallet.

I wondered about that because unstaking your Hive Power ("Powering Down") makes the 1/13 of your Hive Power being liquidated unusable. 🤔😅
Thanks for your answer! 😀
Defi built on BTC? It seems like they are trying to add in other features to make BTC more attractive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah the latest upgrade appears to be really helping. I think they are going to have smart contract capabilities.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
With them being so late to the party, I am not so sure there are many people who want it. If the fees are in BTC, it might be really expensive too.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I am not sure they can pull it off. Could be good for the price of the coin. But I think it is going to be tough to compete with Ethereum and some of the other chains that are establishing a foothold in that market.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Looks like BTC will be more than just a store of value.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Might be but I wouldn't bet on that. I think there is a major uphill battle there. We are going to see a lot of innovation.
Plus they still have the issue with scaling.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It depends. I think it will still primarily be a store of value since BTC only gets harder to get over time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's cool. DeFi is huge now in crypto so I think it makes sense
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Staking is the most attractive feature for DeFi on BTC. Stake and forget for months or years.
Not so sure about the Liquidity pools and other complex farms unless they are auto vaults just like we have on Cub Finance.

Taiwan doesn't seem to want the reunification. I guess tensions in that area will be increasing and I wonder what the current administration will do if conflict happens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I dont blame Taiwan. Xi is very dangerous. He is trying to eat all of the East. These other countries know they have no control if they join China in anything.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not just the East, but any third world country through debt-trap diplomacy. Fuck China and it's 'Belt and Road Initiative'.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Keep in mind, the debt-trap most countries find themselves in came out of Europe. It was mostly the Europeans and Americans who put them there.
What we are seeing is just a shifting of the master but same slavery.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The Belt and Road Initiative pissed off the US bankers though but I haven't really seen any hard hits against them for it. Because China pretty much funded them using US dollars.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That "Belt and Road" is like a financial noose around the neck of countries foolish enough to fall for it. I was reading about how Montenegro got sucked into a billion dollar road to nowhere, that they now can't affoard to finish. If they don't pay China back, They have to cede land to them. Here's the money quote:
If you get into bed with the Devil, you're going to get screwed. The US needs to fund an honest and fair version of this, so that these countries can get out from under China.

Who was it Patton? or MacArthur that wanted to keep going during WWII until we reached the Pacific? War with China is inevitiable. We need to make sure we're ready.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
When has the US ever been fair or honest about anything?
Do not forget, much of the colonization of the last couple hundred years came from the Americans as well as Europeans.
Honestly, China is no worse than the Western countries. We pillaged the same way.

Ah, I see what you're saying re the United Fruit Company in Latin America. Looks like the people of Montenegro will pay the price for the decisions of their leaders.

It seems everyone is excited about some of the features of the latest Hard Fork.
Let us know your thoughts and experience so far.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Like all the other hardforks, I will just keep plugging along. I am happy with the majority of the changes. I believe we are headed in the right direction.
There will be those that will take exception with some of the changes to THE CODE due to their own agenda. We all have agendas. It is what it is.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah that I can see although I am not sure there are many who are quibbling with what is happening. A lot of the changes, I think, were well received. We will see how many of them get embraced and utilized.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I did hope that Resource Credits could be delegated, even though it posed challenges to Hive devs. 🤔

That was left out of the fork because it was not required. That is something that can be handled separately.
I think it will happen shortly those. Maybe we see that in the next month or two.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think there would be another hard fork in another month or two, especially since some Hive users were disappointed over losing their curation rewards because of the most recent hard fork 25. 🤔
That is what I was saying. That does not require a hard fork. That can be added to the codebase without forking it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Perhaps there are articles on Hive which explains either the functional or technical specifications of Resource Credit delegations, though it is hard to search for them. 🤔
@sgt-dan, you were given LUV from @savvyplayer. About LUV: https://peakd.com/@luvshares
I haven't really tried anything new but I wonder how many people are experimenting with the new features.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Some are going to require applications to build them like for recurring payments.
The HBD to savings is one thing that is already being utilized.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This was smooth. I am excited to see how curation will get affected on Hive. We are now moving to a more linear rewards curve as we have on Leo Finance.
Another thing that's intriguing me is the recurring payments feature. It's going to be a game-changer.

An odor-fighting T-shirt made of recycled crab... Made in Peru. You know you want one. :)

That's cool.
I bought a few "smart t-shirts" to try them out. I was skeptical at first but they really impressed me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How smart are they and what do they do?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not really too smart. I think they are just using that buzzword for the hype that comes with it
They are pretty cool though. The ones I bought have an odor-fighting technology and the fabric is thermodynamic so it helps to keep you warm if it's too cold and helps you to cool down if it's too hot
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It gets really humid here in the summer and I used to wear cotton shirts thinking they were the best. However, they would collect the moisture instead of allowing it to dry. So a shirt like that would be great.
Someone told me to start wearing polyester shirts as they allow the sweat to evaporate better than cotton. It did work, but I recall seeing a safety video of people perishing in a burning building and they said the polyester shirts melted into the skin during fires and in that case cotton would have been the better in a fire.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very true. When I was in college every time we were into the chemistry labs we needed to be wearing our 100% cotton vests. Polyester was forbidden as it's a huge safety issue in case of a fire
These shirts I got aren't polyester though, so they are safer

Neither would I. Very interesting

What can you say about the blockchain trading card game #AxieInfinity (https://axieinfinity.com/) which runs on the Ethereum blockchain? 🤔
at present, which costs a total of about $540 (again, plus gas fees). 💸😱💸 Nevertheless, many of those players say that they are earning so quickly that they were able to earn back their investment in just about 60 days. 🤑😅The game requires you to have at least 3 "Axies" (monster trading cards, much like those on #Splinterlands) to start playing, and each "Axie" costs about $180 (plus Ethereum gas fees)
@jancharlest
Not for me...
I don't really have a lot of time to play many games so I try to stick to the ones I already play.
I also try to favor stuff built on the Hive chain... ETH is usually a deal-breaker for me
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
#AxieInfinity players say that the earning potential is huge. 🤔
If you think that time is the limiting factor for you, then you can use their "scholarship program" (not related to real-life academics) where you can delegate at least 3 "Axies" to each of your "scholars" such that you don't have to play the game yourself, and you split the profits between you and each of your scholars. 🤓
Now that sounds interesting
I can pimp some dudes to play for me
NICE
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Earnings from "scholars" are usually split between 50% to 70% to the scholar relative to their earnings from the 3 (or more) Axies you delegated to them. 🤓
The owner of the Axies usually gets 30% to 50% of the scholars' profits, and can decide whether the owner or the scholar(s) is responsible for the fees. 🙂
The owner can set rules regarding the quota of each scholar (to ensure that each scholar maximizes the use of the delegated Axies), such that scholars that do not meet the requirement would have penalties up to 100% of their earnings. 😏
That seems to be well thought. Interesting little system they got going on
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
MonsterMarket TeamShare, such that the owner of the cards in Axie Infinity gets all the profit from the delegatees ("scholars") and is responsible for giving the share of the scholars. 🤓The delegation system in #AxieInfinity is different than that of #Splinterlands's

Yea, it's a lot to pay upfront indeed
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Because of that price, many players choose to be "scholars" and accept the 30% to 50% cut from their earnings because they are either unwilling or unable to provide that much just to start playing. 🤓
Why would anyone want to be a scholar though instead of just playing for oneself and keeping all the earnings?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The more "Axies" you have, the more time you have to spend each day playing to prevent wasting your Energy. 🤓 More Axies = More Energy = More Earnings per day. 😅
Can a scholar have scholars of his own?

ee(s) can use the Hive Power (or cards) as if they were their own, but are unable to send or delegate them to somebody else. 🤓No. 🙂 Technically, only the owner of the Axies has the ability to delegate to other accounts, which may serve as the "scholars". 😏 It's like delegated Hive Power (or cards on #Splinterlands), where the delegat

Players of that game know that Ethereum gas fees are really high, but they said that even if they subtract those fees from their sales, they still get huge profits. 🤔 They even boast their 100% return of investment within 60 days. 😅
Note that the 3 "Axies" that cost $540 in my example are the cheapest Axies, which are most likely not the great cards you could buy in the game's Marketplace. 😅

I saw that post earlier today and I think he is thinking about the right way to promote it. As it is right now, blogging for money doesn't have a good retention rate.

Damn that's a great post.
I think he hit the nail on the head there

Look at this. It could be a bit deal. This turns plastic bottles into plastic filament.
Imagine what we could do with all the bottles that are out there. What a great invention.
These DIY recycling programs are great.
30 second video.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be great for a recycling plant on an industrial scale.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Or how about if every home had one of them and we all recycled our own plastic and was able to sell it easily.
Perhaps for crypto.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea it is. The issue probably becomes whether or not people have the tools or knowledge to do so.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's really nice. Waterbeds are full of plastic so things like that could help

Someone decided to check into what happens during the pump and dump from social influencers. I feel sad after watching the video and everyone is just pointing their fingers at each other with no-one knowing who the mastermind is.

A very sad state of affairs to be sure. Karma is a bitch. I am a firm believer in the rule of reciprocity (i.e., what comes around goes around).

Yea I don't even know who is wrong since all the stories contradict each other. At the same time, I am utterly disgusted by what they did under the guise of "save the kids".

Typical. The United States Government has to stick its nose in other countries business.
It tell El Salvador to be responsible with Bitcoin.
This is code for regulate the hell out of it and let us know how it works. If successful, we will do the same thing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well it gives them a tiny way out of the dollar and I am pretty sure the government isn't happy about it. After Europe did the same thing, I fully expected the US to do so as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The dollar usage by El Salvador is minor in comparison to the whole. It is the threat to the control factor more than anything.
These smaller countries are going to have to go rouge. There is no other way.

All in the name of National Security I am sure.

Well, not really surprised. They are not willing to let go of having full control of thigns

Robinhood files for IPO.
Another crypto application/company is going public. It really is like 1999 again.
At least these companies have something working unlike that era though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well it looks like they were at a netloss even though they earned more from profits. Apparently they spent way too much on marketing on a video I watched earlier.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
When did making money become a part of IPO. Look at Uber and companies like that. The going public allows the angel investors to get out while the capital markets keep funding the losses.

Those Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are quite trendy with these folks.

China might well regret the banning of miners.

In spite of the jackasses in Congress, it looks like there are sections of the United States that are really hopping on board crypto.

I would tend to agree that China will regret it and I am not so sure about those Congressman.

Wen Kentucky Whiskey Coin?

There was a project like that a couple years back. It was of course, only for accredited investors.

Now that one I'd buy for sure. Kentucky bourbon is the best!!! Small batch from unknown distillers - is it 5 o'clock yet???

By the way, anyone have any news from Mayor Suarez in Miami?
Haven't heard much from him lately. Hopefully he gets something to pan out. He is a lot of talk at this point.
Guess he is a better spokesperson than John McAfee when you think about it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No I haven't heard of him lately. I don't know if its because there is no real big changes so he prefers not to say anything. In my opinion I think he may be facing troubles because he has to deal with the state before he pushes things though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
He still hasnt, to my knowledge, even gotten the City Council to approve using some of its Treasury on Bitcoin.
So I think he is doing a lot of talking but not much accomplishing at the moment.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is the latest video I could find about Mayor Suarez and cryptocurrency topics. Maybe there is something more recent around.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haven't heard from him lately. I usually rely on you for news on that guy LOL

It seems the work from home movement is really taking hold. Here is an article that discusses the big changes coming to the workplace.
What is going to happen is this will be followed up by ones how people are losing their jobs because HR departments are not needed to the degree they are since people are separated.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sums up how long it will take before we find out the winner.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think the fact there is such a high turnover with a reported 90% of employees considering quitting their jobs tells the entire story.
Crypto is going to offer people a lot of ways to avoid the traditional job.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The sense of comfort in working from home is what stands out to me. I used to work in a call center and of course I had the luck of being seated next to this huge lady.
She tended to wear clothes that didn't breathe, like plastics and leather. Needless to say, she sweated up a storm and personally REEKED. I've almost never known women to smell bad, but she took the foul oder crown in the office, which left me almost gagging. Working from home would have been the answer to that! :)

I hope I never have to go back.
I just have to keep this job long enough to be able to go full-time Hive, then I'm set

Reminder of the Leofinance/Cubfinance AMA later today. It is going to start in 15 or 16 hours. So plan ahead.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will wait for the rerun and the summaries for people here. Why doesn't someone ask them to put a regular time each week?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They should. The problem is I think Khal has too much on his plate.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wish they would. Last week I waited from 10AM until they got around to starting. Crazy waste of time. Maybe your answer of watching the rerun is better.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah the communication is still shitty.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh I think I might be able to catch it live this week
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Bitcoin versus Ethereum. It seems that there is a grand debate who will be king.
This is something that is interesting to watch. Of course, Hive is going to lap them both. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, they will all be playing for second place soon!

It's a dumb argument. Both can coexist but Eth isn't looking as hot given the test net results

Stupid governments doing stupid stuff
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do you think they mentioned the record cold in South America or the 30 degree (F) below average temperature throughout the middle of the US?
Nah, just how hot it is in Canada.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, things are getting pretty serious here.... some people are dying on the streets because of the cold
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is that clause literally or figuratively? 🤔😮
Sadly, it's quite literal.
At least 10 homeless people died in the last two days here in my city because of the cold. And that's only the ones I heard about.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Doesn't the government or charity organizations at least do something to prevent those people from succumbing to the cold? 😯
You'd think the government would do that, but the government excels at being incompetent and then people die.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
How about those working in charities? 🤔😯
I wonder why that's a non-story here? First time I've heard of it. Record cold?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, it's pretty cold in here for our standards. A cold wave coming from Antarctica caused the temperature to drop
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Doesn't fit into the global warming agenda. They highlight the record heat temperatures but ignore the record cold.
The middle of the United States is also tens of degrees below normal.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's interesting what gets emphasized and what doesn't.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
People do not seem to realize that 10x the number of people die from the cold as compared to heat.
If reportedly accurately, over 700 people died in Texas from that freeze that happened earlier in the year.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well that is definitely hot and I am complaining about 85 degrees....
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh good. More taxes coming.
We really do need DAOs to take off.
130 nations support the US proposal for a minimum global tax on corporations.
So if the tax companies across the board, wont they just raise their prices across the board?
Do you think the stupid politicians thought of that?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Its the politicians since they think more taxes = more funding for the government. Obvious the economy isn't that easy to explain.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Politicians have no clue nor any concern about the economy.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol politicians can't even understand the immediate effect of their actions, let alone 2nd layer and beyond

I have a feeling there will be a ton of issues. Can you change major events in the past and cause the future to change?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh, we don't have to worry about that yet. It's only a mental process, for now, so we may be able to experience past events, but not change them in any way
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
But that does seem like the next logical step for those power hungry people...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Maybe... but we're probably very far from anything like that at the moment

Question for the SEO crew on here:
What impact do comments have on SEO? Is there are more comments on a site (post) does that do anything. Do longer comments making the entire page longer help?
Are there some things we can do when commenting that will help things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This sounds like a question for The CTP Swarm!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Best guess on my part is that since comments are content, they give the Google spider more to chew on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Any guess how long it will take for the interest on HBD to be raised to 10%?
I am going to see within two weeks, by July 15th.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it will be the end of the month since it took a while for the witnesses to move that average to 7%. Personally I think they want to see how many people deposit into the savings before deciding.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you could be right. I heard some saying they would push for it right after the fork so maybe it's already in motion
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is a sure winner if it works.
How would you like your beer to follow you?
@tfranzini needs an automated bartender though. This only will work for beer drinkers.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh that is VERY cool
I hope they start selling those one day, I'd get me one for sure
An automated bartender would be great too. Sometimes I just want to do the drinking part so the robot could take care of the rest lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We need to get your an automated car before we start loading you up with a bartender robot and a robotic traveling beer cooler.
You will be sloshed all the time so we need to get you home safely.

That would be amazing and you can do it for other drinks besides beer. How much energy does it use?

I prefer Modello, but hey, when I'm in a super lazy mood Heineken will do.

Robotic Pizza Makers
If this technology works, it will really alter how the entire industry operates. The profit margin, from 22% to 48% is huge. This can make sense financially.
Plus no need to have near the number of employees and a much smaller real estate footprint.
Now add in some drones to deliver and we are talking.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
DAMN
Pair this up with that beer robot from the other comment and I'm SET.
That would be two of my favorite things just a press of a button away
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a very interesting idea. Imagine a restaurant with just a few of them in there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think this concept will be more and more common very soon
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I second the drones and make sure that delivery cost is low so we can get cheap pizza without moving.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And @tfranzini will send his beer cart over to you also.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha yup! There is a small fee of 1 beer per transaction though
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is a bit too high since I might only want a beer or two per transaction lol.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Doesn't one of the big pizza chains have 'Neuro' or something like that? A robotic autonomous vehicle to deliver pizza to your curbside?

I wonder how many jobs this will wipe out. Not that it is a bad thing since sorting garbage for recycling is crap work.
Company updates it recycling AI product
I imagine this will put tens of thousands of jobs at risk. We probably will not hear much about it though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think it will remove that many jobs but those homeless might not be able to get by recycling.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's great. One issue about recycling is that the quality of the recycled materials is often not good enough to repurpose them to many applications.
Improving the quality of recycled materials could also increase their value, which could increase the % of total recycled material.

Can airlines stop losing people's luggage?
This is a major problem and one that AI and data management should be able to solve
Do you think airlines will ever stop losing luggage? I think we will have new means of travel before they do that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I don't think they can ever stop losing luggage until they have some chip installed in every luggage. Different sizes and everything makes thing tough
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a good point. You are probably right on that one
But I think that AI can really help with that. Maybe it wont completely eliminate the problem but it can drastically improve it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If UPS and Amazon can keep track of millions of packages per day, I am not sure why airlines cant install something similar.

This story keeps getting play and it should. It shows the mindset of lawmakers and how they are truly against freedom and the people they are meant to be serving.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think its dumb to even try to reverse transaction on a decentralized block chain. It might work for centralized stuff though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
On the centralized one, for sure. But to even propose it like it is a backdoor to some tech a company created just shows cluelessness.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, they are nothing without the power over people's freedom and they know it so they will do whatever they can to try and remain relevant
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is why I believe the more people opt out by moving their money elsewhere, the greater the dent we put in their power basis.
