There will be more of these jobs in the future than right now for sure, but there might not be many overall. Still, possibly the best bet for any job you'll need a degree to obtain.
You know what's a lot easier than making a Star Wars-like medical robot? Creating an oversupply of doctors. Good luck paying that education off without the big salary!
I think you should be taken seriously for the same reasons Jenny McCarthy should - the utter garbage you spew on a regular basis could lead innocent people with pitiful levels of scientific literacy to make harmful choices.
The "Internet of Things" is a giant clusterfuck of proprietary "standards" that change with almost every hardware generation, and devices that talks to outside servers whether you want them to or not. It makes home entertainment remotes look good in comparison. I for one won't be buying any of this stuff until that's sorted out.
Nope, it just has to hit the ground at an angle, a piece bounces off of crash site 1 and lands somewhere else, creating "crash site 2." It even happens with cars sometimes (like today's Tesla crash story).
Yep you could die in an F1 car if you get thrown out (although it would take a very odd impact - if you don't wear your seatbelt in an F1 car, because of the shape of the cockpit and seat, in a frontal impact you'll become a gross puddle in the footwell).
Makes sense, the plane could have broken up on impact and the area where the tail landed was initially thought to be a second crash site. It was found to be part of the same plane, and the fact that the plane's ass landed some distance away is hardly newsworthy.
Actually I'm surprised at this. This is one of those few things that were worse than I expected, along with the NSA sabotaging NIST standards, treating all Linux users, cipherpunks and privacy advocates as extremists, and targeting human rights organizations.
80% of all calls in the US!? This is madness. This is computer-powered McCarthyism on crack.
I thought it was common knowledge, ask any admin of a network with 100ft+ lines running between buildings. The gear connected to them often fries when solar flares hit. Sometimes it happens so reliably that they have a procedure to disconnect the lines when a solar flare is coming.
That's pretty bad, although it's not that unusual for them to have terribly high standby draws like that. On the majority of them, there is a tangible difference in energy use though (as in you can touch them and feel the heat difference).
With computers it's better yet to use a phone or tablet instead of opening a laptop.
A big one is to turn your cable box off when you're not using it. Ever notice how bloody hot most of them get? It's because they're horrendous power guzzlers. People who aren't nerdy enough to program universal remotes properly just turn off the TV itself when walking away, leaving the cable box to run like a little electric space heater.
I'd drive a cheap-to-run car with torque like a supercharged V8 and my electricity would come from sources that put out their radioactive waste in neat chunks instead of slowly spreading it out the top of a smokestack!? This awful socialist future is going to ruin us all!!!
On the Tor darknet are sites which host and trade enormous amounts of child porn, and one which specializes in leaked nude photos of celebrities, some of which have been successfully removed from the web. If it were legally possible to sue the Tor project over.onion sites, it would have been done a looooong time ago.
They sure do want to make killer robots but this has little to do with it.
If you want to look into the dystopian aspects of this technology however, consider the effective intelligence boost that would come with high-capacity, high-reliability memory and then consider the cost of elective brain surgery. Right now the rich aren't any smarter than the rest of us, what if they were!?

I take you seriously.
BTW everything roughly matches up with GISS. Everything. There's nothing wrong with adjustments as Rei helpfully explained below.

That can't be good for your eyes.
Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity.
Apple represents a freaking quarter of the US economy. One company. Making locked-down toy computers.
We're living in a sci-fi dystopia.
Yep that's why we buried Kimi Raikkonen in an urn last week.
OH WAIT

It'll make great post-apocalyptic architecture.
This reminded me of the domes in Ergo Proxy.
Will this one be called "Mosque?"

...unless you're good looking enough to make a career out of it.
They might take that as a challenge. North Carolina made global warming illegal after all.
I agree, it seems pretty close to that. Any lawyers want to comment? This could be entertaining :D
Haha that would never happen, when people rape and pillage the world economy we bail out their failing companies and praise them as "job creators."

They set the standards for the TCP/IP protocol, the one used by the packets which conspired with the Tor network to move data around untraceably!

Do they have RSS feeds or Twitter Bots or something that tell them "Muslim story on First Look - Troll Force GO!" or something? It's fkn amazing.
I always wonder the same thing...and the answer is "maybe:"
