Flashermac Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Burger-flipping robot could ‘completely obviate’ the need for human employees A robot that can make 360 burgers an hour could put many fast-food workers out of a job – exactly as its designers intended. Silicon Valley-based Momentum Machines developed the device, which is more like an assembly line than a humanoid robot, reported Singularity Hub. “Our device isn’t meant to make employees more efficient,†said Momentum co-founder Alexandros Vardakostas. “It’s meant to completely obviate them.†... http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/11/burger-flipping-robot-could-completely-obviate-the-need-for-human-employees/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Dreamers. This is a start up company with a lot of dreams. And appears a tad amateurish. http://youtu.be/zduJugyId7g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kung Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The robots may be designed by a few engineers in Silicon Valley, but will assuredly be built by thousands of workers in China. What will 320 million Americans do when even the lowest forms of manual labor are outsourced? Print more food stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Maybe co-founder Alexandro's Vardakostas could concentrate on how to mechanize the Greek fast food industry, and then donate the profits to reducing the Greek government's debt load.

King Kung Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Liberia? Sierre Leone? ....... Nah, Missouri. Here we go again. A calmer dawn broke Monday morning after a night of protest and looting in Ferguson left broken glass and at least one burned-out building. Officer Brian Schellman of the St. Louis County police said two officers were injured overnight Sunday — one was hit by a brick and one suffered knee injuries. Police arrested 32 people for theft, assault or burglary. The protests followed the fatal shooting on Saturday of Michael Brown, 18, by police. Authorities said Sunday that a police officer shot Brown, who was unarmed, after the teen attacked the Ferguson officer. After protests and a vigil earlier in the day, some people broke into stores and looted them, setting fire to a QuikTrip and leaving glass and other debris strewn about. Schellman said the looting and destruction stopped and the area had quieted a down about 3:30 a.m. Monday. He said the police helicopter was shot at once or twice, but was not hit. He said the night was a scary situation for even veteran officers. Jennings school district canceled the first day of school today, saying it was concerned for student safety in the wake of Sunday night's violence. "Safety is our uppermost concern," a Jennings release said. "At this time we do not feel it's safe for our students to walk to school." Officials said they hoped classes could begin Tuesday. On the lot of a QuikTrip that was looted and burned Sunday night, some men who said they had been there last night defended the damage as a response to injustice. http://www.stltoday....0a3d36a083.html When are these irresponsible and unconscionable police forces going to learn that it's the god-given right of every black teen in America to attack violently that which he finds oppressive? Just turn the other cheek, police dude! Don't be a racist bigot! Just let the teen attack you. USA! USA! USA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just turn the other cheek, police dude! Don't be a racist bigot! Just let the teen attack you. USA! USA! USA! Black criminals are killed by cops all the time in the act of a crime or resisting, etc.. Not a peep out of the Black community there. Criminals are criminals. Them being Black doesn't exempt that. Black communities want real criminals to go to jail. There are hundreds of thousands of Blacks in prison (as well as hundreds and thousands of whites) and nary a word. Millions of arrests. Nary a word. Why this? Why Trayvon Martin? The times you hear outrage is when it wasn't a good arrest. The cops didn't even have cause. The boys were walking peacefully home, not causing any trouble. Eye witnesses say he had his hands up. The cops lied about it. Of course when its a tax dodging white Nevada rancher who has so called Patriots with guns ready to shoot Federal authorities and were proven to have put women and children as a buffer, then they are Patriots, that's different...lol.

King Kung Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The boy(s) were walking peacefully home, not causing any trouble. Where have I heard that before? And you'd best not refer to them as "boys." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
