Two weeks ago, I compiled a list of the 5 jobs robots will take first. Last week, I compiled a list of the 5 jobs robots will take last. Both previous essays are about robots replacing human workers who do cognitive nonrepetitive work (such as middle managers, salespersons, tax accountants, and report writers) that most people do not believe robots will be able to do any time soon. For those essays, I defined robots as technologies, such as machine learning algorithms running on purpose-built computer platforms, that have been trained to perform tasks that currently require humans to perform.
For this writing, let's expand the definition of robot to any autonomous system designed to do work that used to require humans to perform. And let's expand our thought experiment to include all four major categories of human tasks: Manual repetitive (predictable), Manual nonrepetitive (not predictable), Cognitive repetitive (predictable), Cognitive nonrepetitive (not predictable). In other words, let's look at some probable futures of the real world and see where our conclusions lead us.
Joe Driver
Before being made eligible for assistance under the Universal Minimum Guaranteed Income Program Act of 2021 (also known as the "U-Min" bill, which guarantees workers displaced by robots a living wage), Joe was a professional driver.
Wait! Full Stop! Way Too Easy
Agreed. A huge number of transportation industry professionals will be replaced by autonomous vehicles, and so will dispatchers, warehouse workers and the managers who manage them. That is the easy part.
For our thought experiment, let's replace just 20 percent of taxi, car service and truck drivers with autonomous vehicles. Now, let's think about the businesses that service these workers. The local deli where the drivers used to stop for coffee. The attached convenience store that enables the gas station owner to run a profitable business (because there's not enough margin in selling gas alone). The quick-serve restaurants, the supermarkets, etc. Let's try to imagine a world where just 20 percent of transportation industry workers were laid off. Could the businesses that rely on these transportation workers survive the commensurate permanent decline in revenue?
"This is nonsense," you say. "These people will be retrained or find other jobs." I don't think so, but let's assume you are right. The other jobs (whatever they may be) will have completely different traffic patterns (no pun intended). New behaviors will emerge and the impact of this massive behavior change will be about as pleasant as when the big box stores came to town and literally killed every mom-and-pop retail store on Main Street. Town survived, but it has never looked, felt or been the same.
In practice, this is just the soundbite version of Robot Apocalypse. Let's go deeper.
Joe Executive
Before qualifying for subsidies under U-Min, Joe was a CPA and a tax auditing partner at a Big Four accounting firm. With more than 15 years of experience working with some of the biggest corporations in the world, his entire department was replaced by AlphaAudit from Google's DeepMind group. Interestingly, every partner in Joe's practice area was earning more than $450,000 per year. Some were making north of $2.1 million per year. What will they do now? Where do you take 15–25 years of accounting experience and use it in a nonaccounting job?
FOMO, "Fear of Missing Out"
If you're wondering about the driving force behind the Robot Apocalypse, it's FOMO, "fear of missing out." Making the converging trends of on-demand behavior, machine learning and autonomy actionable has gone from talking points to 40 percent of our business in under two years. All of our consulting clients are rushing to put autonomous systems and machine learning tools to work. It's not that AI systems are "plug 'n' play" – they are far from it. But I don't know even one CEO who wants to wake up one morning to the news that a competitor has deployed an automated system that enabled a newsworthy increase in EBITDA. In a corporate world driven by earnings calls, that would be considered a very bad day.
Which Leads Us to … Life After the Robot Apocalypse
For this imperfect guessing game about the future, let's take some real world financial statistics to benchmark the apocalypse.
The Tax Base of the United States of America
According to an article on marketwatch.com, "An estimated 45.3% of American households — roughly 77.5 million — will pay no federal individual income tax." The article goes on to say, "The top 1% of Americans, who have an average income of more than $2.1 million, pay 43.6% of all the federal individual income tax in the U.S."
So, what would life be like if 20 percent of the one percent of Americans who pay 43.6 percent of all the federal individual income tax in the United States lost their jobs to robots?
The Spectrum of Probable Futures
On one extreme end of the spectrum are common post-apocalyptic themes such as spotty power, energy shortages, food shortages, no running water, nonfunctioning schools, limited resources, reduced or nonexistent healthcare, etc. I don't think this is where we're headed.
On the other extreme end of the spectrum is "Robotopia," a place where humans have more time to do leisure activities, be creative, live life to the fullest, eat gourmet food, drink exotic vintage wines and spirits, practice the arts, and live under the protection of a master artificial intelligence, free from disease, free from fear, free from war … heaven on earth. I don't think this is where we're headed either.
Somewhere in between these two extreme views of life after the Robot Apocalypse is where we are probably going find ourselves. It's a world where the tax base has been severely impacted by the redistribution of workers. Wizened, experienced, lifelong professionals are going to find themselves in a new world that has no interest in them. New jobs will be created in industries that do not yet exist. And the physical world will be continuously adapted and optimized to favor autonomous systems that reduce cost, improve efficacy and increase productivity.
This Is Going to Be a Huge Struggle
Will we need my hypothetical, Universal Minimum Guaranteed Income Program Act of 2021? We might. Questions like "If we all lose our jobs, who will buy the goods that the robots produce?" are good ones. We won't all lose our jobs, but a significant percentage of people will and, in the process, be rendered unemployable.
That said, one friend of mine, who is a renowned public policy expert in D.C., told me that nothing was going to happen because we already have a nontaxpaying population explosion that is completely out of control. He opined that public assistance programs will simply continue to increase until no one except the top .05 percent of wage earners pays for anything.
The Time for Policy Innovation Is Now
It's time for policymakers to approach policy innovation the way our corporate clients are approaching their own digital transformations. As I've been saying for years, today we are experiencing the slowest rate of technological change we will ever experience for the rest of our lives. The pace of technological progress is not going to slow down, ever! FOMO is a powerful force that will continue to drive innovation. We get to choose what life after the Robot Apocalypse will be like. Let's choose wisely.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, December 19, 2008
The Interior Department issued a proposed rule yesterday that would make it easier for mountain bikers and other cyclists to traverse the backcountry of national parks.
Environmentalists decried the rule, which is now subject to a 60-day comment period, saying it would spark conflicts between cyclists, who can travel at high speeds, and other park visitors who prefer to hike or ride on narrow trails.
Under current rules, the National Park Service must go through a rulemaking before allowing mountain bikes on hiking and horse trails, a process that factors in environmental considerations and the competing needs of park visitors. The change would give park superintendents greater discretion in allowing bikers in by waiving the formal rulemaking requirement.
The Park Service did not issue a statement on the proposal, and its press office did not return calls seeking comment yesterday.
Mark Eller, spokesman for the International Mountain Bicycling Association, hailed the administration's move. He noted that 20 national parks allow biking on narrow trails and 20 allow it on dirt roads, but these parks are "technically out of compliance" with federal rules.
"We've worked with the Park Service to try to develop the language, and we've been pleased to see that much of what we've proposed has been included," Eller said. He added that the change would allow park supervisors "to look for more opportunities for where they think they've worked out" the balance between hikers and bike riders.
However, Denny Huffman, a former superintendent of Dinosaur National Monument, who now represents the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, said "conservation comes first" when determining how visitors experience national parks.
"National Park Service employees are pressured every day to allow activities that may conflict with most visitors' experiences," Huffman said in a statement. "This proposed regulation change would only open more park superintendents and managers to pressure by mountain bikers to open trails where that use conflicts with other visitors."
While the White House has barred agencies from issuing rules with a major impact on the economy less than 60 days before Bush leaves office, Bush spokesman Tony Fratto wrote in an e-mail that "this was a non-significant rule. It gives more discretion to individual parks to make decisions about mountain biking trails. We agreed with [the Park Service] that it was non-significant."
Kristen Brengel, a campaign director with the Wilderness Society, said she hopes the next administration will be able to reverse the decision, which would not become final until Barack Obama takes office. "It's a loosening of the rules by anyone's standard," she said.

I would love to give this 5 stars, it is delicious! but I believe there is an error in the ingredients list. "2 3/4 cups low sodium soy sauce"??!! but in the instructions it mentions "stir in the broth, rind and salt", and makes no mention of the soy sauce. Sooo - I used 2 3/4 cups of chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. It worked . Also did not use salt as there is enough salt in the broth and soy sauce. I used the coriander in the rice but used fresh parsley for the finishing instead of cilantro which I did not have. This is a wonderful recipe with great flavour and zing and really deserves 5 stars. I do hope you will fix the error in the ingredients!! Thanks for posting it and I will be making it again.

Judge Orders Chukchansi Casino Remain Shut
The continued struggle between rival factions, for the control of the Chukchansi Casino, is far from over after a California Judge ruled that the casino remain closed amidst fears of renewed violence between the warring factions.
During a Federal court hearing on Wednesday, it was obvious that both factions of the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians had not managed to resolve their differences and are still arguing about the management of the casino and has ordered the casino remain closed after an armed confrontation between the two groups resulted in the closure of the casino.
Judge Lawrence J. O'Neil commented during the court hearings that since the rival factions remain divided, the possibility of more violence poses a threat to public safety, " David Leibowitz, attorney and spokesperson for the Tex McDonald Faction, agreed there was no end to the conflict in sight. "It's hard to fathom the possibility where people who are this far apart are suddenly going to agree and this close back together."
The Lewis-Ayala faction, led by Reggie Lewis, agreed that the conflict between the two groups. "A bad case scenario, it could go on for months, and the good case that everybody is hoping for is weeks, a couple of weeks, two or three weeks."
During the hearings, Judge O'Neil ordered the Lewis-Ayala faction remain in charge of the casino and ordered them to issue monthly stipends to the members of the tribe even though they faction has been accused of mismanagement and embezzlement.
"So it's hard to imagine, from the McDonald faction, why people who lost $50 million should be put back in charge of the casino," said Leibowitz.
Reggie Lewis, incensed by the remarks made by Tex McDonald's lawyer, replied "You've got to remember, my side was not at the casino for the past year and a half. So if there had been findings of $49 million missing, you know I'm going to say I didn't have anything to do with it," Lewis replied blaming at McDonald for the loss of the funds.
"This twisted statement of facts… belies any semblance of truth or reasonableness. It is simply and admission that the emotional and explosive keg that existed before the armed and illegal takeover… still exists. It is this faction, the McDonald Faction, that continues to be the threat to public safety."
Casino to Remain Closed Amid Safety Concerns
Judge O'Neill has placed a restraining order on the casino which has made sure it remains closed due to public safety concerns. However, another order, this time placed on the casino by the National Indian Gaming Commission, has ordered the casino remain closed because the tribe has failed to provide financial audits of their operation.
According to the casinos current management, those audits have now been submitted, but it's not clear how long it will take the National Indian Gaming Commission to review the paperwork.
Judge O'Neill has said the he would lift his restraining order only after the gaming commission lifts theirs and only if he can be convinced that the dispute between the factions had been resolved and would not lead to any more violence.
As well as those rulings, Madera County District Attorney is considering instigating criminal charges against the members of McDonald's faction that took part in the violent takeover where guns were used and casino staff were handcuffed and assaulted. All of which has been caught on video by casino surveillance.

So i will be the first to admit i am a huge fan of Blackberry (crackberry), Planning on getting the new BlackBerry Q10 when ever it becomes available to the US, But yesterday I decided it was time to get a tablet. So being a BlackBerry guy i was going to get the BB Playbook but it seems that no on carries them and to get one you have to order online for one. Well i did not want to wait for that so I decided to get the Asus Transformer Prime 10.1 Tablet. Well after making the purchase i felt a little dirty because i did not get the BB playbook. After setting up the Asus, i was blown away! "what have i been missing all my life? this Tablet is great"! now I feel more connected to the world with a Android Tablet. Now the decision for what to do about the phone Android or BlackBerry? oh well! :-\

U.S. Leading Economic Indicators Increase Again
Last week the Conference Board announced that the U.S. leading index increased 0.4 percent, and the coincident and lagging indexes held steady in August. The leading index increased again in August and is now up by 2.5 percent from its low in March (more than a 6.0 percent annual rate). In addition, the strength in the leading index has been widespread over this period.
The coincident index was unchanged in August, but has been rising gradually from its recent low in April. The growth rate of the coincident index has picked up to about 1.2 percent (annual rate) over the last four months, and this growth has also been widespread–only employment has continued declining.
The upturn in the leading index since March has already been followed by stronger real gross domestic product growth in the second quarter and by the recent increases in the coincident index. In addition, the recent strength in the leading index suggests a further strengthening of economic growth in the second half of the year.
Four of the ten indicators that make up the leading index increased in August. The positive contributors– beginning with the largest positive contributor–were interest rate spread, vendor performance, real money supply and building permits. The negative contributors- -beginning with the largest negative contributor–were average weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance (inverted), index of consumer expectations, manufacturers' new orders for consumer goods and materials, manufacturers' new orders for nondefense capital goods and stock prices. Average weekly manufacturing hours held steady in August.
The leading index now stands at 113.3 (1996=100). Based on revised data, this index increased 0.6 percent in July and 0.4 percent in June. During the six-month span through August, the leading index increased 2.4 percent, with eight of the 10 components advancing (diffusion index, six-month span equals 85 percent).
Three of the four indicators that make up the coincident index increased in August. The positive contributors to the index-beginning with the largest positive contributor-were personal income less transfer payments, manufacturing and trade sales and industrial production. Employees on nonagricultural payrolls declined in August. The coincident index now stands at 115.4 (1996=100). This index increased 0.2 percent in July and 0.1 percent in June. During the six-month period through August, the coincident index increased 0.3 percent.
RBC sees U.S. Recovery Driving Canadian Economy
The Royal Bank of Canada on Tuesday joined the ranks of economic forecasters calling for the nation's economy to ride a U.S. recovery early next year.
In its latest forecast, RBC pegged economic growth this year at 2.1 per cent as Canada shrugs off the impact of the SARS virus, the mad cow scare, a surging loonie and forest fires in B.C.
Provided a long overdue recovery in the U.S. materializes as expected, that rate of growth should accelerate to 3.5 per cent in 2004, the bank said. At 3.5 per cent, Canada's economy would be humming along at a far better rate than its economic potential. The Bank of Canada considers the nation's annual economic growth potential to be three per cent.
The U.S., by far Canada's largest trading partner, is expected to achieve economic growth of 2.7 per cent this year and 3.5 per cent in 2004.
"The rise of the Canadian dollar and a weak U.S. economy earlier this year have hurt Canada's trade balance, but a reprieve will come alongside strengthening U.S. domestic demand," RBC chief economist Craig Wright wrote in the report.
As corporate profits increase and excess economic capacity is absorbed, business investment should increase, RBC said. The biggest drag on growth will be excess inventories of goods. Canada's inventory-to- sales ratio is at its highest level since 1999. As for interest rates, RBC said it expects the Bank of Canada to hold steady until sometime in mid 2004.

Has Notre Dame football been in contact?
"Notre Dame has just reached out to me this week," said Hubbard. "Coach (Mike) Elston has contacted me and I look forward to hearing more from him."

Best Survival Food: What You Should Have in Your Pantry or Survival Kit
Whether you find yourself in the middle of a disaster or in the middle of nowhere, it is important you have food and nutrition with you to fuel you and your family. There is a possibility that you will be unable to purchase food since people may stockpile at the last minute before a disaster, such as a hurricane, so it is best you have stock ready at home.
Considering the differences of disasters, it is ideal to have a survival food stock good for long-term disasters or a six-month supply. However, these foods must also have a long-shelf life and are ready to prepare and eat.
Comfort food
Whether it is eaten under normal circumstance or in a disaster, comfort foods can help boost your spirits and reduce stress. While chocolates and other comfort foods have slightly a long shelf-life, there are four specific comfort foods that can be stocked for a long time and can be used for flavoring.
- White or brown sugar/sweeteners (double check their production and expiration date)
- Rock or iodized salt
- Honey, molasses or maple syrup
- All types of alcohol
Long-term survival food/ingredients with a long storage life
Aside from comfort foods, your food stock should have the best ingredients you need for easy-to-cook meals with the longest storage life. Here is a guide as to which ingredients can help you survive in cases of emergencies or disasters.
- Hard/soft grains—If properly sealed in vacuum packs and at the appropriate temperature, grains can last from 8 to 12 years. Notable hard grains are dry corn, millet, buckwheat, and spelt. Soft grains, on the other hand, include oats, rye and barley.
- Beans—Similar to grains, beans have a long shelf life if properly stored, and can last from 8 to 10 years depending on the quality and type. Some examples of beans you can put in your stockpile are lima beans, lentils, mung beans and garbanzo beans.
- Pastas, flour, rice—You will need carbohydrates and additional energy when it comes to disasters so it is essential you have these included on your list. Depending on their production life and storage, these can last 5 to 8 years. Include white rice, pasta, and white flour on your list so you can make hearty meals for your family even in disaster situations. White rice can be stockpiled for 10 years. Consult your local supermarket or granary if you want to purchase other types of rice.
- Oil—Food would taste a lot differently if you add oil to it. Coconut oil is one of the oils with the longest shelf time of up to 2 years.
- Hard crackers or biscuits—If stored in a dry location and free from potential moisture, crackers can have a long shelf life and retain their crisp factor. If you want to purchase whole-wheat crackers, they are also good as these crackers have extra fiber that would satiate hunger. However, it is important to remember that these have a shorter shelf life.
Short-term survival foods for short-term disasters
If you want a separate pack for short-term emergencies, there are some good foods with a relatively long shelf-life that will remain fresh. For short-time disasters, it is best that it is easy to cook and prepare. Here are some examples you can consider for your short-term disaster stockpile.
- Canned meals such as tuna, meat (spam/sausages), vegetables, fruits
- Spreads such as liver spread, peanut butter, cheese
- Instant coffee
- Black or herbal tea
- Instant noodles
- Candy like gobstoppers
- Milk—It can be canned and powered
- Dried herbs or spices in powered form
- Bottled water good for three days
- Sport drinks to assist in restoring electrolytes and quench thirst if there is no clean water.
Multi-functional survival food items
Aside from being ingredients for food preparation, survival foods can also be used for other uses. Here are some examples you can use these food items for other usage.
- Oil—Cleaning blade, making fire or oil lamps, unsticking zippers, hair care, removing splinters
- Apple cider vinegar or vinegar—cleaning items and medicine as vinegar has antibiotic properties.
- Baking soda—cleaning stains, medicine
- Honey—Medicine for cough, cleaning wounds and antibiotics.

What are the regions of Patagonia?
Harriet says
Every time I get there and I know the plane is landing or the bus is getting into the mountains, I start to get all itchy and then when we arrive I jump off and sort of run around like a little kid!
Harriet Pike Trekking, Mountaineering & Cycling Specialist
Patagonia's Best Regions For...
Patagonia's number one trekking destination is Torres del Paine, famed for its mile high granite towers and glacier-filled valleys. The most well-known trekking routes here are the 4-5 day W Trek and the longer full circuit, but there are plenty of day hikes and off the beaten track trails on offer too.
Los Glaciares National Park is home to Mount Fitz Roy, you can set out on day hikes to the best viewpoints of this dramatic peak, take on a longer trek around the region's mountains and glaciers, or even embark on an expedition onto the Ice Cap.
Tierra del Fuego provides a challenging arena for experienced trekkers to really get out into the wilderness. Further North, trek through the verdant landscapes of the Argentinian Lake District for yet another distinct hiking experience.
In Tierra del Fuego, you can come face to face with King, Magellanic, Gentoo and Humboldt penguins, in one of the many penguins colonies of the region. On an adventure cruise, you also have the opportunity to spot Humpback whales.
Peninsula Valdes is another region of Patagonia which is abundant in wildlife. Come here to see Southern Right whales, Magellanic penguins, sea lions, elephant seals, orcas, dolphins and many species of birds.
Torres del Paine is home to many condors and guanacos and, if you're very lucky, you might even see one of the region's rare pumas.
The Los Glaciares region has more glaciers than any other part of Patagonia. From the famous Perito Moreno Glacier, which can be seen on a day trip from the nearby town of El Calafate, to sprawling glaciers which you can view on a multi-day trek, hanging glaciers which can only be accessed by boat, and others on which you can ice hike, this area has it all if you're looking for glaciers.
In Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost part of Patagonia, you can find many magnificent glaciers on adventure cruise through the Magellan Straits.
Whether you're trekking, kayaking or cycling in Torres del Paine, you can come across some of the region's glaciers, including the impressive Glacier Grey which is found on the route of the W Trek.
Road Trips
There are two major routes for exploring Patagonia by road. The Carretera Austral runs through the remote Chilean region of Aysen, ending abruptly at the northern shore of Lago O'Higgins. Whether you drive yourself, have a private guide, or join a group, you'll witness stunning glaciers, mountains and open expanses along the journey.
On the Argentinian side of the border, the Ruta 40 passes through Welsh Patagonia, and this route offers an equally stunning landscape.
Boat Trips
Taking a boat trip through Tierra del Fuego gives you a unique opportunity to explore spectacular glaciers, fjords, and wildlife. On a Patagonian adventure cruise, you can immerse yourself in nature on small Zodiac boat excursions.
In the Aysen region, you can cruise through the Chilean fjords, on a similar style of trip, and are likely to come across hot springs, hanging glaciers and towering peaks.
Remote Landscapes
Aysen in Chile is one of the most remote and least visited regions of Patagonia. Here, you can explore pristine glaciers and untouched mountains, and it's possible to have trekking and cycling trails entirely to yourself.
Tierra del Fuego is a wild windswept land and here you can get off the beaten track to hike remote demanding trails across the mountain ranges or explore further afield on four-wheel drive excursions.
In the northern part of Patagonia, the Chilean Lake District is home to several impressive volcanoes. It is possible to trek to the summit of some of these to see their vast craters and admire the breathtaking views of the lakes, forests and mountains all around.
Gaucho Culture
In the vast open expanses around the Argentinian Lake District, you'll find working cattle ranches called Estancias. Here you can ride with gauchos for a truly authentic horse riding experience.
Los Glaciares National Park and Welsh Patagonia are also home to these Estancias, which will provide you with great hospitality and accommodation and immerse you in gaucho culture.
Cruises to Antarctica
Why not combine your luxury tour of Patagonia with an Antarctic cruise? Most Antarctic voyages begin in Patagonia, setting off from Punta Arenas or Ushuaia - the World's most southerly city.
Antarctica is like nowhere else on Earth. You can see the White Continent in 6 to 32 days, depending on your budget and appetite for adventure. We offer a wide variety of trips, some of which visit the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, cross the Antarctic Circle or include kayaking, camping and skiing in Antarctica.
What Our Customers Think
The landscapes are stunning and the night skies were incredibly beautiful.
