Re: Amazon ditches 'Just Walk Out' checkouts at its grocery stores
I always thought this concept was extremely creepy, so I never went to Amazon stores. It's like you're being heavily watched the whole time you're in the store, it goes beyond just regular security cameras. Also, I don't like the idea of having to have an app to shop at a particular store, and what ...

Re: New predictions for the timeline
600,000,000 AD – C₃ photosynthesis is no longer possible on Earth As the Sun heats up, the Earth becomes hotter, increasing rainfall and weathering. Carbon dioxide dissolves in the moisture to form carbonic acid, which reacts with silicate minerals in the rock, breaking down the carbon dioxide. Thu...

Re: Which realization of a “future” technology was most disappointing for you?
For me, it was Virtual reality. When I was a kid; I wanted to play in something like the Matrix. When Oculus Rift emerged a few years ago; it was overpriced and overhyped. It was nothing like I wanted. I played Vader Immortal at a Dave and Busters and it was fun sure, but it isn’t true VR; at least...

Re: What is the status of magnetically-levitated trains and hyperloop?
Maglev costs significantly more than standard high speed rail. California's high speed rail project (which is currently under construction) is probably going to cost over 100 billion dollars in total. If it was a maglev project instead, it would cost way more than that, and thus probably would never...

Re: When will a human first walk on Mars?
I am going to say that it will either be the indians from india or China around 2060. America is in decline and is likely to have a dictator very soon that will force religious crap down our throats and that isn't good for science. Elon musk is already transforming into such a supporter and will li...

Re: When will a human first walk on Mars?
Probably the 2040s or 2050s. It'll definitely be the USA, not China. I have no faith in the Chinese space program. Their Mars rover looks like a carbon copy of Spirit/Opportunity, which were launched in 2003. China is nearly 20 years behind the US in space technology. And China's rover didn't even w...
