Eifert Posting posted:A car is dangerous. Autopilot has never meant full automation and using it to describe what Tesla has is not false advertising. I do not see the distinction between any misunderstandings from this feature vs someone thinking cruise control will steer for them. Autopilot stands for "Automatic Pilot", the principle word "automatic" standing for "something that happens by itself without someone fiddling with it." Are you the same kind of mindless pedant who says signs should say "inflammable" even though changing the word with "flammable" has literally saved lives?

It's pretty likely unmanned cars are gonna become a thing for businesses/warehouses/private compounds in the next 5 years (and in some respect they already are, depending on your definitions) but who the gently caress knows if they'll ever be on public roads in a large capacity. In decades...maybe? Technology aside, the whole things a legal can of worms, liability and traffic law wise. You can skirt around some of that stuff by saying it's all on the driver who is theoretically in the drivers seat and still paying full attention to the road, but I highly doubt you can get to any point of widespread adoption without some new legislation and a bunch of rejiggering of the car insurance industry, and that poo poo will take a while.

fishmech posted:Once again, most of that decline came from the viability of having a job that wasn't smallhold agriculture, as opposed to all that labor actually being needed on farms. While we're agreed about the 19th century there, I'm not sure I'd extrapolate that into the 20th without further information. Which you may have, I have no idea past that point; but my vague understanding is that automation and consolidation of farm ownership has significantly decreased demand for agricultural labour in the 20th century.

Can't say she'll be missed She has been quite busy ever since opposing basically anything and everything that involves women's rights and equality. For fucks sake she even fought against fixing to laws to make raping your wife a crime arguing that it was just a plot by liberal feminists to encourage divorce. I'll slot her passing right next to Scalia in the "I am glad they are no longer directly influencing policy, although I wish they had retired so they could see everything they fought against actually win" shelf.

Which you may have, I have no idea past that point; but my vague understanding is that automation and consolidation of farm ownership has significantly decreased demand for agricultural labour in the 20th century. The really heavy-hitting labor saving and automation only comes in relatively recently - like since the 1930s or so. And as his chart shows, the agricultural employment had already dropped under 40% by 1900 and under 25% by 1925. Plus it's really interesting how the rate of decline was very steady from 1800 to about 1965, and then suddenly slowed down hard, while improvements in agriculture weren't steady in the least during the same time period. If it tracked those we should see several parts where it suddenly drops a lot faster. What it really behaves like is something that declines from older farmers dying off without their kids bothering to continue the family business. Essentially, agricultural technology was already good enough to shed tons of workers compared to the amount that actually left, there was just no way to transition the economy away from agriculture.

Yeah, there was one last significant agricultural revolution in the postwar period (the Green Revolution? I only touched on it in a class on SE Asian politics once; I mostly remember it involving new fertilizers and such to increase production), so that was probably the last big development. Then just lots of family farms being bought up by big owners taking advantage of more-or-less existing technology to consolidate into megafarms as kids took the money and went into different sectors.

Here's something interesting, research has been done on the minimum wage increases in Massachusetts ( a law as passed in 2014 that raised the state minimum from $8 an hour in 2014 to $9 an hour in 2015, $10 an hour in 2016, and $11 an hour in 2017). http://www.bostonherald.com/business/business_markets/2016/09/report_minimum_wage_hike_helped_states_lowest_paid_workers "The average, inflation-adjusted hourly pay for the state's lowest-wage workers rose from $9.08 cents an hour to $9.74 cents an hour from 2014 to 2015, a 7.3 percent increase, according to the latest annual edition of "The State of Working Massachusetts." The report is compiled by the independent, liberal-leaning Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center. Hourly wages earned by the average middle-class worker in Massachusetts also rose during that period, but by a smaller 2.9 percent rate, from $21.63 to $22.25." Note that since this is done using inflation adjusted money, it means we're not just seeing the natural rise in pay from that, but actually seeing that middle class people are benefiting by a significant amount, even though they're earning a lot more than the minimum to begin with.

Then went home and immediately gave a speech doubling down on all his immigration policies and getting into a Twitter slapfight with Peņa Nieto after pretending not to hear him say that Mexico wasn't about to pay for the wall. And probably a bunch of other stupid stuff but that was the big one.

I've heard solid middle class people say they didn't want a wage increase because working in fast food shouldn't make $15/hr because that would be getting paid too much for the skills involved. These were people that make $30/hr plus benefits and are most likely in a union. They were also discussing how they wouldn't support it even if it meant they would get raises too.

Boon posted:You're very, very mistaken. Honest question, have you ever seen how automation impacts a position first hand? Because those things you cited don't mean poo poo. I literally work in a distribution center, so yes. I'm well aware of when you can automate jobs and when you can't. Truck driving is not one you can. Even in the scenario of "moving trailers from a parking lot to a shipping door" requires steps that are not easily automated. computer parts fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Sep 6, 2016 |

Really you're just showing how stupid tesla was because if they thought for a moment they'd realize they should have the alarms all the time for hands off the wheel instead of just curves. In what way would having a hand on the wheel have prevented him from running straight into an 18 wheeler that was in the middle of the straight road that he wasn't watching because he was watching Harry Potter instead? This is ignoring that this wasn't an uninformed consumer, it was a guy who literally made YouTube videos testing and demonstrating autopilot and exploring situations where it did and didn't work properly.
