Basically, anything that humans or animals come into physical contact with ultimately becomes covered in a thin veneer of bacterial feces. The fact that the ISS is floating in space does nothing to halt this process in the environmentally controlled areas.
serious flat earthers are there? I doubt it is statistically significant. Lump 'em with the majick-underwear-wearing Mormons, Satanists, and other eccentrics. Not a big deal.
What he describes is just an ancillary computing resource, not a direct extension of consciousness. Say, a lightning fast calculator instead of a physical one. But it would still indirectly affect your brain - what would a human brain look like after years of never doing any math, but having it automatically done for you? I expect some typically strong neural pathways would atrophy. Is there a chance the other neural nets would grow stronger with higher level thinking afforded by ready access to facts? Possibly, for the diligent. In most cases probably not enough to break even.
So you're looking at abandoning grey matter as the end game. You'll want a better understanding than mankind currently has of what you're losing.
Refusing to do so will, at best, buy the automatees some time. At worst the whole organization will be less competitive and grow enough drag over time that someone else will take your stuff and you'll all be looking for work.
I've bike-commuted to work in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and downtown Chicago. No matter how close you hug the shoulder, how courteous you try to be, a significant minority of auto drivers are insufferable cunts. They will cruise behind you and blast their horn for no reason, cut you off, hurl bottles and invective at you when passing, and cut you off while looking straight at you so you know it wasn't a mistake. At the end of the day their lives are not at all on the line. It's too dangerous, so I only do bike trails now. Yeah, I guess the fat fucks win.
The interview for my current job, which I landed last year, only came about because a recruiter saw me on LinkedIn. More importantly, the last three outfits that employed me checked my LinkedIn page before making an offer. Yes, I say it's still relevant.
I was hoping the article might have comparisons of average commute times, distances covered, safety factors, and possibly some other non-intuitive customer concerns. Instead it lists money spent, voting results, years of service, and number of commuters carried. We're not getting important parts of the story.
Any Autistic person who is functional enough to land a job, let alone a job at Google simply wants to get along with their colleagues and improve their life.
No, any Autistic person who is functional enough to land such a job has learned through painful trial and error a set of tricks to get by in life, such as how to talk about the weather, make eye contact but not too much, figure out when it is and is not appropriate to speak during conversations, and other techniques to feign social competence.
When these prove insufficient you are horribly fucked and your scarlet letter is firmly affixed. This guy flew too close to the sun with all his focus on his thoughtful opinion and nary an eye on how people would receive it, lacking the capacity for such. Inevitable, really, but his moment happened on a worldwide stage.
Well, he went straight to not one, but two alt-right youtubers instead of going to a somewhat reputable news publisher. Even going on Fox News would have looked better (they certainly would have been able to coach him to spin it better) and they certainly would have been beating down his door to get him.
If he's on the spectrum he was drowning and ready to hand off the chaos and static to whomever seemed like they could help.
This is why I don't download apps where an existing web interface that will do the job. I object to using Uber tho, so I don't even know whether you can use the service thru a web app. But so many other companies have perfectly serviceable web sites that you can use instead of an app, why let them even further thru the door and into your phone.
Exactly. And their only metric of concern is "cost" (not real costs, reported, adjusted costs and "value"). They do not care about actual product, or actual employee productivity. I've seen the "value" reports getting generated prior to quarterly and annual meetings firsthand - everyone is complicit. Just a few more years of trading bogus reports as actual success and managers and directors have moved on, so no worries for them.
"Recruiting top talent is still difficult for most firms, and demand greatly outstrips supply."
Yup, after a summertime job hunt with a solid resume, work experience, and knocking out technical interviews like so much batting practice, I would say (based on anecdotal experience, mind), (A) people are full of shit, and (B) that story sucks.
I took a "coding class" with my youngest child a couple months ago. We used Scratch, which is obviously very different from the C++ classes I completed while earning my degree. It's not about learning to become a programmer - it's about doing something fun with your kid and giving them a bit of exposure. Maybe your child will embrace it and dig much deeper, ultimately learning actual coding. Showing enthusiasm is part of the experience. "Hey, let's make a game!" It's called parenting. Ivanka is on target with this. I doubt she cares much about Actual Programming, and when the other adults would refer to the dragging/dropping of activity boxes as "coding" I didn't jump all over them about what Actual Real Coding is. Instead I imagined how assembler coders might feel when watching people code in Perl.
Actually it was Hillary Clinton's infamy and unfitness for office that elected Donald Trump, in a close contest of infamy and poor fit for the job. Trump outperformed Romney in non-whites across the board. Dems could have run just about anyone but Clinton and taken the office. But no.

They bring in at least a couple hundred million pounds more revenue than they cost, and the Brit public tends to have ~80% approval rate of them.
...but wtf'ing hurry?
Because any moment not being entertained is a moment wasted to the modern mind. Sad!

Why?
If you eliminated tips and paid waitstaff an increased minimum wage of $15/hour most would suffer a pay cut.
Spot on. Arrival was a steaming pile of feces.
One assumes the desire from investors is a certain amount of money made in first year theatres/rentals/sales, not the years/decades long game.

Yup, the streaming title selection sucks compared to DVD.
Karl Marx called - he wants his discredited engine of human misery back.
My uncle has a country place, that no one knows about. He says it used to be a farm, before the Motor Law.
