Comment Time Zones are not necessary (Score 1, Insightful) 408

We could take (let's say) UTC as the global time. Every city and company could select at which time to start work in the morning. The workday could be in London from 8 to 16. In Berlin 6 to 14, in Beijing 1 to 9, in New York 13 to 21. And every one would (finally) have the sun on it's highest position in the middle of work day. If it sounds complicated to you, remember that the rest is easy.

Comment Re:A robot with a human-like face is a lie (Score 4, Insightful) 216

A robot should not closely imitate a human face , because that is too difficult. Yet it can be friendly looking and it helps to trust it in the start. But finally our trust will be based on our experiences with the robot. If we see it does the job reliably, we will trust it. Just as with people. Or a coffee maker.
