They're very detailed scatter plots of the relationship between the longitude of points of land and the latitude. Once we figure out the correct best-fit curve we'll be able to extrapolate new data points and find Atlantis

If you have extra cheese couldnt you just give it to people who will eat it? How is this a problem? Is there also a chronic shortage of macaroni or something?

Based on 900303 cubic yards and a 1954 mile (US-Mexico border) wall, you get a height * thickness of 0.2189 square meters. That means a 4 meter tall by 5 cm thick wall, or a 2 meter tall by 10 cm thick wall.

I had to google what American cheese was and found out what happened to some of the extra cheese.

govenment cheese wiki posted:

Government cheese in the 21st century
On August 23, 2016, the U.S Department of Agriculture released that they planned to purchase approximately eleven million pounds (5,000 t) of cheese, worth $20 million, to give aid to food banks and food pantries from across the United States, to reduce a $1.2 billion cheese surplus that has been at its highest level in thirty years, and to stabilize farm prices. This purchase also added revenues for the dairy producers. Regarding the purchase, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, "This commodity purchase is part of a robust, comprehensive safety net that will help reduce a cheese surplus that is at a 30-year high while, at the same time, moving a high-protein food to the tables of those most in need. USDA will continue to look for ways within its authorities to tackle food insecurity and provide for added stability in the marketplace."

Currently, as part of the USDA Food Nutrition Service Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) eligible Seniors over Age 60 are provided one 32 ounce block of processed cheese food each month supplied by participating dairies.

I'm gonna guess that if you try to get rid of the stockpile of cheese, the market will interpret this as a increased demand for cheese. Production will increase, thereby making the stockpile bigger.

Yeah, unless they're buying it below cost and it just helped stop the bleeding it could definitely make the problem worse. There's also the issue of keeping businesses on a lifeline that might really need to be let go.

A lot of this depends on how long this excess is expected to on, and whether demand might rebound in short order. The bailout for GM was a good idea because it kept the industry and supply chain alive until demand returned.

I was a survey given to human beings to help illustrate the types of moral dilemmas AI cars might have to face.

quote:

To conduct the survey, the researchers designed what they call “Moral Machine,” a multilingual online game in which participants could state their preferences concerning a series of dilemmas that autonomous vehicles might face. For instance: If it comes right down it, should autonomous vehicles spare the lives of law-abiding bystanders, or, alternately, law-breaking pedestrians who might be jaywalking? (Most people in the survey opted for the former.)
