Our job is to make ourselves superfluos. Get over it.

We are programmers. Which means we tell a computer what to do and then it does it without any person required, including us.
By very definition we are the last in the line to replace humans.
What is heading towards us will make current issues seem like a piece of cake. There will be a massively rough transition into an all-out post-scarcity economy with probably a lot of ugly things happening inbetween. US HB1 visa issues aren't even close to what you should expect down the road.

A personal answer to this problem is twofold:
1.) Specialize,perhaps even to the extreme, and be ready to work/travel globally. There will always be someone who needs robotic programming in Python 3 for milling tools somewhere on the planet.

2.) Observe the development of society carefully and prepare for *massive* changes. That might even include prepping for some 1930s Great Depression type 'action'. Adjust your behaviour and your expectations according to what we all are observing in societies currently. The sub-Weimar-Republic tone in the US election and the Weimar Republic tendencies in Germany alone should be an indicator where we are headed - a total disintegration of core aspects of our current post-WW2 society. A litte perspective on that: My current GF lives in a big city in russia. I traveled there this year. It's basically a one-on-one all-out implementation of Neal Stephensons Snow Crash or William Gibsons Bridge Triology over there. With a dangerously deluded autocrat at the top. A real-life explosive Bladerunner / Strange Days mix.

Bottom line:
Meanwhile I'm enjoying a cushy job as a Consultant and Webdev at a neat agency in Germany. But I'm prepared for it to end immediately at any time.
I myself am actually prepared to move to another continent on comparatively short notice should shit hit the fan here in Europe.
You should be prepared to do the same thing where you are.

I'll take this guy's word: NYC Democratic Election Commissioner, "They Bus People Around to Vote" over Oliver's.

If you look at all the people trying to distract away from the vote and election fraud going on and denying it exists, they're almost entirely democrats. Look at which party all this fraud is benfitting. Again, the democrats.

THE most crooked political party in the country's history. Shameful.

Good little Hillary youth repeat and believe the propaganda .
I am voting for Trump because I want to maintain a health democracy.
The media is one of the strongest weapons in showing the world the devastating effects of corruption and shining a light on those who would use their entrusted power for personal gain. An independent and free media is a cornerstone of democracy and a crucial component of a healthy governance system.

Glenn Greenwald( Pulitzer prize winner) hates trump and hillary both but at least he is ethical.

Clinton has corrupted this and turned it into a propaganda arm for her campaign.

This should scare the hell out of the american people if they know their history.

I was voting for Hillary until I found this out it is worse than anything Trump has done.
Trump makes we want to vomit but he would last 4 years and it would clean out the political system a bit. Think off it as a cleanse, nasty going down but it cleans out all the crap.

I am voting Trump, not because I like him, he makes me vomit, but because the press will do their job, to find government corruption. We will have a health democracy with Trump. If Trump goes 2 dollars over on expense report it will be front page news for a week. Hillary nope, she will tell them what to write. Trump will last 4 years but the crap will be gone.

Also here are some more fun ones.

his hosts program is actually pretty good by xenotransplant

his hosts tool is actually useful for those cases in which one does indeed want to locally block stuff outright while consuming minimum system resources by alexgieg

I've never tried to belittle (APK's) work, I've flat out said it's good by BronsCon

take a look at the APK hosts file engine by SuperKendall

APK is kinda right. I've tried his hosts file generating software. It works by bmo

APK is totally right on this count. Adblock Plus on Firefox mobile is a dog on older, or lower end, phones. A hostfile based adblocker makes for a much better experience by chihowa

A lot of this was discussed during the last house judiciary hearing featuring Director Comey where he channeled Nixon with his 'don't call us weasels' line. I think for anyone interested in actually getting the facts on this case, the entire three hour session is definitely worth watching.

During that hearing Congressman Ratcliffe proves your point about the entire FBI investigation being a foregone conclusion. Something to keep in mind while watching is that this is the same Comey that made Martha Stewart a felon for lying and obstructing justice by tampering with evidence.

Well, maybe he'd be better off flying a plane?

Maybe, maybe not, what I was saying is that it is not obvious that it is safer. The tests that are currently done are under limited conditions with human supervisors.

Having you seen the DARPA robotics challenge https://www.youtube.com/watch?... although impressive and more general purpose than self driving cars, they are still slow and prone to failure at tasks that humans find easy. It is not at all obvious that sticking one of these in front of the wheel will be safer.

This testing also only tests a particular software/hardware version, you are not including the possibility of a software update with a bug, killing thousands if not millions of people.

"Can anyone explain why copyright infringement is a criminal offense?"

Because capitalism has successfully overcome rule of law, and has for a long time but most people are uninformed and unaware that capitalism is now free from the rule of law completely and reshaping the laws of countries to suit corporate power.

AKA corporations are attacking your right to own anything and undermining your civil rights as histroically been the case with the business community, most people are too distracted, indoctrinated and unaware.

This will not describe Mr. 'Hillary and Obama literally create ISIS.' [...]

You doubt she did?
1) supported nascent Muslim brotherhood with State Dept funds and tech push
2) ordered Muammar Gaddafi assassination by the US spec. forces (youtube her "I came, I saw, he died" laugh here
3) supplied arms to the "moderate" Syrian terrorists
4) etc etc.

Next time another Yazidi girl is raped by the Muslim brothers, remember that Hillary enabled it (and you approved it by enabling Hillary). Hell has a special place for people like that (so sorry).

She also said she would authorize nuclear first strike against iran during a debate among democrats.... Obama did not. He got elected

Trump or Hillary will both die in office. They are too old and both seem a bit senile.

Because I'm playing the game right now, and it's the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Play a game trying to steer a greased sheep through a Dire Straits music video, all the while being told that the enemy is trying to brainwash me. It feels eerily similar to old-school public service announcements that have a message completely unrelated to the content delivered with it.

"Don't be a puppet!" Hilarious. Who in their right mind would think this would stop terrorists?

I meant KMS. From what I see it is no longer actively developed and quite behind the Linux version (correct me if I am wrong).

This is just for desktop use at home as a workstation. I need type 1 speed and guest support and embedded or nested virtualization to learn some labs with clustering with other solutions like Hyper-V and VMware ESX. Last, I want to run my steam games too with full hardware acceleration.

Depends on how you weight human and economic costs. There's also the issue of the uncontrolled border being a conduit for drugs, guns, and sex trafficking. So here are the problems with illegal immigration across the Mexican border (there's also illegal immigration from overstayed visas, but that doesn't have anything to do with guns and drugs):

1. Illegal immigrants are exploited by US businesses for cheap labor. They are denied the protections of our labor laws, and the threat of deportation keeps them compliant. It's slavery with extra steps.

2. Some illegal immigrants commit crimes against American citizens. If the government were doing its job and enforcing the border, this wouldn't happen, and people like Jamiel Shaw's son would still be alive. This mostly effects poor and minority citizens who cannot afford to move out of the cheap neighborhoods when the illegals move in. And the Mexican gangs are essentially ethnically cleansing black neighborhoods. These days Compton is 60% latino. There's other political groups that want this ignored, like La Raza and the Aztlan Reconquista.

3. 80% of Central American women and girls are raped during their illegal border crossing. If the border were controlled they would either stay home and not be raped, or would be entering legally with a work visa and be protected by border patrol officials and not raped.

4. The black market in the US for drugs (and Mexico for guns) enriches monsters like the Zetas. These people are the closet thing to devils on earth. They skin people alive and cut off their heads and hands. Stopping or slowing the flow of contraband across the border would starve them of the money they need to operate.

5. The US is suffering from a heroin epidemic, and that heroin is coming from Mexico. Yes, it would be great to treat addiction as a medical problem, but that's an awful lot easier when you can't buy heroin for $10 on any street corner in New Hampshire.

6. The cost to the taxpayer of services for illegal immigrants is over $110 billion each year, which makes a wall and border enforcement a much cheaper option.

7. For some reason, immigrants don't seem to care much about limited constitutional government and individual liberty. They often times come from authoritarian cultures and vote for whoever promises to give them the most stuff. This makes severe demographic shift an existential problem for the Republic. Mass immigration is a war against the middle class by the plutocrats using the poor immigrants as pawns. If eventually everyone is voting on racial lines instead of ideological lines then our future is Brazil. Corrupt banana republic.

But hey, we get cheap tomatoes, and nobody calls you racist, so all the blood, exploitation, rape, and death of liberty is worth it, right?

Adoption of the metric system seems to be a classic example of the lack of the American public's ability to intellectually adapt, yet, https://www.nist.gov/pml/weigh.... Of course Americans refuse to admit the problem was caused by lead poisoning, fuel, water pipes and firearms, as a result, simply to dumb to adapt and perversely enough taking pride in that ignorance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?..., oh my, the ignorance on public display and accepted and cheered on.

Funny I get the exact opposite from that without even listening to the tape, why bother. Confession, yep uh huh, just your typical dumb male braggadocio http://www.dictionary.com/brow..., there is even a specific word for it. The louder the boast the less likely it is to be actually happening (simple transference from behaviour with high priced hookers to pretend behaviour in the real world). All pretty lame and typical and compared to what was publicly broadcast be Clinton, "We came, we saw, he died, HA HA HA", now that was something that actually happened and she was laughing over someone being sodomised with firearms, tortured and shot as well as tens of thousands of others dying and main stream media ignores that. So apparently in US main stream, being responsible for the brutal murder and death of thousands and laughing about it, is not as bad as bragging about grabbing high priced hookers whilst pretending the are women off the street is worse. Oh how low has main stream media sunk, global media, if fact all media with hooks from the US military industrial complex and full of three letter agency propagandists pretending to be journalists. See celebrated by main stream media https://www.youtube.com/watch?..., thousands die and it is big ole joke, yet this is good and Trump empty boasting is the height of all evil.

BOOM! I gave you evidence that your positions are counter-factual, such as the Canadian Geographic article that polar bear numbers are indeed up, and that the surface temperature data is being fiddled as stated by Iceland's chief meteorologist, and that the climate sensitivity keeps getting adjusted down and still claimed as a far too high value (which means, CAGW is falsified).

Unfortunately, you didn't give me any evidence to contradict my views, I'm just tried of correcting you. For example:

1. The Canadian Geographic article says of the 19 subpopulations of polar bears, 8 are in decline, 3 are growing, 2 are stable and 6 are unknown. You seem to only see that 3 are growing while ignoring that 8 are in decline, and that seems to be simple confirmation bias on your part

2. something which seems to be common thread running through all of your arguments. All evidence that you are wrong is ignored and any evidence that you might be correct is accepted without question or even examination.

3. You showed one instance where the climate sensitivity estimate had it's lower range dropped. It was raised onc (4th report) e and lowered once (5th report), it was 1.5 to 4.5C in the first report and 1.5C to 4.5C in the fifth report, which is explicitly what I told you. Now, I don't know why you are arguing about this but like everything else you have written about climate change you are clearly, factually, and demonstrably wrong, but I'm sure you'll invent another excuse to justify your refusal to accept reality.
4. The article you linked is a crock, it wasn't Iceland's chief meterologist who said it was being fiddled with, it was Christopher Booker, who's a columnist for the Telegraph and an anti-science crank, Here's a video explaining what the adjustments that Booker is complaining about are and why they are needed.

That's three major mistakes in one sentence, and it's one of your better sentences. A fact which should horrify anyone with half a brain. The simple fact is that everything you think you know is wrong but I am no longer willing to spend my time correcting you (and having the corrections ignored).

1. What you are experiencing is called "cognitive dissonance". You know the statements I make are true, but they conflict with your indoctrination, so you reject reality and instead decide to continue with your programmed responses. You claim others are "crazy" yet it is you who is unable to accept facts due to your programming. That makes you the irrational one who is acting "crazy".

No, what I am experiencing is a condescending jackass who thinks he's clever, but is actually particularly ignorant, dense and, I suspect, more than a little bit slow. I have become weary of your boorish behaviour and your plain fucked up insane bullshit. You are consistently and endlessly wrong, but I don't have the time to debunk 20 or 30 insane claims in every single one of your posts. You pile on the disinformation and insanity and it's just not worth my time to debate you any more.

The Scientific Method requires me to examine your arguments and evidence. You will notice I did, that I read through the sources you gave. What you didn't understand was how the sources were dissembling, but when their data was interpreted properly they support the climate realists position, and require that the Null Hypothesis be selected over the alarmist's empirically falsified CAGW. You are on the wrong side of history.

You wouldn't recognize the Scientific Method if it bit you on the a

If you want to send a "fuck you" to the whole system, why the he'll are you voting for anyone running with an "R" or a "D" after their name? They only way to take down the system is to tell the parties you aren't beholden to them any more.

I take it you haven't watched any of the primary debates or the Republican Convention.

Trump beat the living shit out of the Republican party. He is the biggest "fuck you" the party and the establishment has ever dealt with and are still dealing with. If you've only been getting your information from the media then you are probably not aware of the revolution that is taking place.

Here's a sample of what's been happening over the last year and half and why so many people are behind him.

You pretty forcefully made my point. There are literally millions of cars with fire troubles. No one gets on TV and tells us to stop using cars. No one thinks that a car fire is the most important risk of using a car, nor should they. Yet when Samsung "hides" the fact that three of their devices caught fire, we rain fire and brimstone on them.

When there are vehicle defects discovered that are known fire hazards vehicles are recalled and people DO get on TV and send letters and make telephone calls to let people know to get their vehicles fixed. The same to varying degrees applies to every other product you purchase with known defects rendering the product unsafe.

The entire point was that the risk may have been a bit overblown. Yes, of course, for the unlucky three people, the impact can be terrible, even catastrophic. But like it or not, life has risks. When you walk outside, you risk your life. When you walk inside, you risk your life. If one of those remote risks became reality for you, ending your life, that would be terrible for you, but that risk should not keep us all from going outside, or inside.

This is not a falsifiable statement. Just because risk exists says nothing about whether a risk from a particular problem or defect is acceptable. Replay your exact response above verbatim except substitute battery fire or car fire for exploding Barbie doll or plastic army dudes who sometimes fire real bullets and hurt people. When you make a statement that can't be falsified you are not communicating useful information.

Batteries inherently carry a risk of fire. All batteries have this risk.

The problem at hand isn't presence of risk it is defects causing unacceptable unnecessary risks. Some batteries are much safer than others. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries can be abused overcharged, undercharged, shot, thrown off cliff, submerged and they won't catch fire. The problem isn't batteries the problem is vendors pushing parameters to marginally increase energy and reduce size while decreasing BOM costs that is actively placing people at increasingly unnecessary risk.

We live with it, because the benefit outweighs the risk. Is Samsung's risk higher or lower than the risk of a standard AA battery catching fire? Is it higher than any other cell phone model? I don't think we know that yet. If Samsung has created an unsafe product, they should address it. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, the replacement devices haven't yet been proven to be any riskier than any other cell phone.

Samsung themselves seems to know the answer to this question because they are halting production.

Sounds much more like an overheating CPU too close to a way to cheap poorly insulated battery (internal batteries are much cheaper than user replace able batteries). The CPU alters the conditions of the battery, so the battery generates more heat, heating the CPU which heats the battery (higher temperatures more electrical resistance, leading to higher temperatures). So the design is inherently bad and the phone has to be scrapped IMHO they kind of deserve it for removing user replacebale batteries from Notes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?..., I am a bad man ;D.

Just like CNN is a DNC/Hillary front. Right? Gotta love those "undeclared voters" being coached on what to say.
