You need to get a piece of paper that demonstrates that you have mastered an in-demand discipline in the economic sense so that you can have a place to live and food to eat and hopefully be able to retire some day. The consequences of not doing this are likely to be poverty unless you come from a wealthy family.
If somebody ever comes in to interview and they take a phone call to do another interview at the same time... I'm going to honestly mean it when I thank them for their time, because I'm going to get at least 5 minutes of solid belly-laugh out of it.
No one would ever do that. That's a bad strategic maneuver. Everyone knows that when you're a job candidate you must appeal to the employer's grandiose ego and worship the ground they walk upon by making them think they are your #1 choice. After all, they blessed us with the opportunity to be considered for employment. Everyone plays the same game. Women all make you think you're their #1 choice and so do employers but the reality is they are considering multiple "candidates" for the "position" too. It's a game. Play to win.
In the old days that was called two-timin', and you could get horsewhipped for it.
It's no different than interviewing for multiple jobs simultaneously. It increases your odds of success. Those who don't do it are just purposefully hurting their prospects on their moral and ethical high horse.
We're talking about the page number at the bottom of the document. That's not even remotely in this category. If you want to talk about something nerdy in this field, talk about typesetting and the history of publishing prior to the invention of the word processor and why the word processor was a remarkable invention.
I thought this would be an article about different techniques for web pagination through large data sets efficiently. Sadly, this article discusses a book written in 1931 about where to put the page number in a book. How is this news for nerds again and who cares?
A task beyond 90% of humanity has just been perfected by robots, and done far faster than humanly possible
The more alarming thing is how humans with all their flaws can more intelligently design something the exceeds our own capabilities. Speaks volumes about the nature of an "intelligent designer" for humans.
Hey, if the damn thing can mow the lawn, take out the garbage and have dinner on the table, it's welcome to chase the old lady around the house for while. It'll give me some quality beer and bowling time.
Subtract the "old lady" from this equation and replace her with a young-ish girlfriend that doesn't co-habitate and you've achieved Nirvana. Also, add folding laundry and cleaning toilets to the list.
That's goddam amazing considering how long they've actually been making original content. OPs title tries to make this seem like a bad thing, it's not

Oh wait that's just for the United States (disclaimer: I'm American). Ok, we need one for the United States and one for the rest of the world. For the rest of the world, it should be a dove circling the planet.

Lines of latitude aren't straight.
What'll really bake your noodle is that no line is ever straight due to the curvature of space...
Yup, just like capitalists who want to replace people with robots and AIs.
If the robots pay taxes like Bill Gates was suggesting, guess what that means? Guaranteed Universal Income. I'd take that...

I don't believe in this online dating crap; get out from behind the screens, girls and boys, and hit the floor. Learn to dance, you'll love it.
I guess you haven't heard of the latest new dance craze? It's called the touch screen finger tap boogie. All the cool kids are doing it.

Typography is a pretty nerdy field.

The sad thing about all this nonsense is it's the product of Keynesian Economic Theory. Still think it's a good idea?

You have to assemble the robot yourself.
There is a robot for that.
And thus Skynet was born

$1.24 per nuisance call seems pretty fair. Hell, even $5 per unwanted call seems reasonable and would quickly end robocalling.
In addition, he should be forced to listen to random scam call scripts using text-to-speech for the rest of his life via a cochlear implant.

I see you're trying to deploy a Docker image to Azure, would you like help with that?
Your post should receive special treatment and go to 11!

If Slashdot comments were moderated like Reddit I suspect you'd be well over 100.

Whichever race is the most prevalent. That would be Chinese I guess.
So... a container of Kung Pao Chicken then with chopsticks then?
I think using a bunch of photos would easily solve the problem of conveying what humanity looks like as a whole.
According to Young Earth Creationists, you only need an image of the cross.
We could just have it be top down towards the North Pole with people laughing in igloos and riding snow mobiles yelling "wheeeee!"

Can I throw blue shells at other drivers?
No, sadly. However, you can use Bullet Bill to get to and from work faster.
Just waiting for the first accident this causes.
I depends on if you're using manual or automatic drifting when you go around corners.
