Written natural language is the best for human to human communication, but not for human to robot. The best we have now is computer language.

For giving orders, spoken natural language is the best for humans to humans, but for human to machines i'd say the best is the plane cockpit, or your car's interface.
> A NSL is a subpoena, meaning an order to produce information.

Well, yes and no. They do not come from a court (I've heard), so they are not a subpoena in the court sense, nor a court order. But they are an order to produce information, so I assume calling one a "subpoena" is correct, and I'm not arguing with you there. Just want to make clear for those reading without a law background that NSLs do not involve a court, which "subpoena" might imply.

An NSL (I've heard, hypothetical, yadda yadda) basically amounts to the FBI citing statute authority to demand information about a suspect and does not rest on, nor require, a court case. Indeed, the whole point the government makes about the nondisclosure aspect of an NSL is to keep a matter discreet from the investigated party for reasons of national security or imminent death (which a court case, on which to issue court-ordered subpoenas, would make far more difficult).

U.S. law specifically discusses upgrading an NSL to a court order in district court, for reasons of noncompliance.
A house that can support a family of 9 is not cheap even in Ohio if you want to "life of wealth and luxury".

You'll be paying over $1M for a 5 or 6 bedroom house in a "nice" part of Columbus (i.e. German Village), and you'll be paying around $1.2M for such a house in a decent (though not upper class) neighborhood in Silicon Valley.

And if it was going 15MPH, that's not a sudden movement, as these accelerate fairly slowly even when empty.
it's a cool idea but it's not a laptop, just a keyboard, battery, and display
How is it possible to run buses with perfectly accurate timetables? I imagine traffic conditions are somewhat unpredictable in Switzerland, just like anywhere else.
Thanks a lot for making me aware of transportation safety statistics, it's a fascinating topic. And I really was surprised to see that death rates for passenger cars are only about an order of magnitude worse than train's.

I just wanted to note, that planes have a several times lower death rate than trains: 0.07 per billion passenger miles according to the sources I've seen. Maybe this could be a hint that safety in trains could still be improved?
By the bus's frequent stops and lumbering acceleration, I'd estimate it cuts the average speed behind it by at least half. Unclear how far down the road this effect travels, but a significant distance. I've also yet to see a bus stop that doesn't obstruct the bike lane, so apply this effect to bikes as well.

Sometimes (though rarely) the bus stop is such that the bus can pull out of the traffic lane and become less of an obstruction, but even then, right turns are delayed significantly.

I don't mind this when I see a full bus, because I know that many private cars would slow down traffic at least as much. But damn is it annoying when the bus has 3 people on it (as is usually the case in my non-transit-oriented city).
Exactly right, but that wouldn't result in as controversial a headline.
BS asymmetry works only when people believe in expert/authority and that the majority especially the one in charge is gullible.

For the mass, it could be okay. For the people that pretends to be respected for their authority at discerning (the experts) it is quite a proof the expert model is not working.
Mitt Romney and Donald Trump both have business degrees. I'm not saying I do or do not support them but they are not social science/humanities/liberal arts. Unless you count business as liberal arts.
One easy thing to do is to start a discussion with someone non-famous who responded to someone you read. Often you'll get a nice conversation out of it.
> People at work talking about paying [my salary * 0.5] for their kid's private school. Sheesh...

Before you judge too much, consider that some (not all) of those folks might be paying that because they live in an area that has failing public schools, and they may be living in that area because they can't afford housing in an area with better public schools. Many middle to upper-middle class people find themselves faced with that choice.

In California overall, aside from anomalies like San Francisco itself, wealthier cities correlate with better public schools, and the correlation is > linear.
