I'm referencing his list of predictions from his 1999 book.
This is a bit of a reach but bike lanes are most effective when they connect directly. That means they are built on major roads, not cul-de-sacs that go nowhere.
Who buys roads in front of major roads: the poor. Because the expensive homes are in cul-de-sacs far from the heavy road noise.
So the law is equally just to rich and poor in the same way it is equally just to rich and poor by making sleeping under a bridge illegal.
Everyone benefits from the bike lanes, but only the poorer homeowners are inconvenienced.
The book the list of predictions is from was written in 1999.
He has written many books. He became famous because his earlier book was so accurate. Then Moore's law died which caused all his predictions for technology after 2005 to be very off because the huge compounding effect of Moore's law stopped.
I didn't make the assertion.
Fail.
So you actually understand your mistake and have been trolling.
There were AR glasses in 1995.
It either looks like eyeglasses https://www.meta.com/smart-glasses like Kurzweil predicted or it already existed before 1999 if you are referring to clumsy goggles like I linked above
You haven't shown eye glasses with ar by 2009.
These council members are trying to make it less car dependent and you want to bulldoze there houses for trying?
It's always someone else that must make the sacrifice, not those making the decisions.
I'm actually serious, are you visually impaired?
If you read the text description you might get the impression of what something looks like without knowing what it really is. Eye blocking goggles are completely different than transparent eye glasses.
It's functionally the same as a 1989 NASA VIEW system. The non transparent goggles are clearly visible in the video you linked. Under no circumstances would anyone confuse them for eye glasses.
In 1999 Kurzweil said by 2009 most people will be using computers with no mechanical parts and no keyboards.
As evidence you pointed to the 1997 Palm pilot that predates his prediction and has mechanical parts.
Double fail.
It's not a prediction if it already exists. If it happened after 2009, that falls outside his own given prediction limit.
Kurzweil made the rules that you won't follow.
It's not a prediction if it already exists.
AN ELECTRIC CAR WILL BE SOLD IN THE YEAR 2035!!!
Majority was already in 1999.
Fail.
A prediction by definition is something that will happen in the future.
AR existed since 1968. NASA had AR goggles in 1989.
Kurzweil's predictions were made in 1999 for things that will exist by 2009.
He created the rules of his predictions, not me.
Dragon Dictate 1997 allowed voice dictation and complete control with voice commands.

I replied to a post in a thread (about how my 15 year old burned DVDs were going bad and what I was doing to remedy it). The thread is still there but my post is gone. It wasn't an argument. It was a reply to someone asking for data backup options.
Some auto generated explanation from Lemmy would be nice like : post deleted by owner. Or posted deleted by moderator.
