Let's face it, though: The same technology that allows me to work from home also allows someone in a place with an extremely low cost-of-living to compete with me, whether that location is Murrieta, CA or Memphis, TN, or Mumbai, India. If someone has the skills that I have and will work for half the price, why wouldn't a company take advantage of that?
And then you can move there, and work for less money.
Altogether too many people seem to thing that American workers are a black hole that you put money into and they never do a thing with it. Well paid people have a tendency to pay well.
There is a tipping point, and we might be right abou there, where the overpaid Americans who "deservedly" lose their good paying jobs, and have to work for a lot less, simply won't have teh money to continue to buy the stuff that the job creaters expect them to buy.
People have to have money to buy the things that people build to sell to make money on. And gaming the world's economies to accumulate greater wealth will only work for so long.
The very best possible outcome of this game is that eventually everyone in the world will be paid the same. Then everyone will be lazy privileged takers. Then weirdworld might happen - a total reversal - where the job creators have to figure out ways for the rest of us to make enough money to buy more and more of their stuff every quarter. I kinda doubt that the days of people having several maxed out credit cards are going to return, so wages might have to increase, not decrease.
I get it. You think that everyone who starts a business is suddenly a slave to the state, and to anyone that wants a paycheck from them. You're exactly the sort of entitled, lazy bum that's chasing businesses and jobs out of the country.
Actually, I believe fervently that business owners should leave the country as they outsource.
Tell me - and try not to go hyperbolic like you did with the other guy. Should Americans be paid the same as the people that you outsource to? How about making a universal non management pay of 1 dollar a day. At that point, I suspect you mimght consider keeping jobs in America?
So now, you are making the money you deserve as a founder, and a job creator, and those American takers will be making what "entitled, lazy bums" deserve. And should thank you for it while they are at it.
So when all of us lazy bums are unemployed or making third world wages, you better be selling food, because that's where most of their money goes to. Because we'll be doing the same thing. And as "entitled lazy bums" it will be well deserved to only have money foro the most basic of life's needs.
Because you appear to willingly see only one side of the equation. In the world of money matters, there are two, and they should be balanced
1. People need to make shit and make money selling it.
2. People need to make money to buy shit that people who make shit to mke money so that people who make shit can make money.
And in parting, you really should move to wherever you outsource the jobs to - they'll buy your stuff as we takers assume our well deserved collapse. And you won't have to deal with all of us "entitled lazy bums." that you very obviously hate with a white hot passion. Let us know - we'll have a party for you.
The day after you leave, because if you can't hire us "entitled lazy bums' - you are no job creator - you're a parasite.
That was your chance to explain what it should be to them, you failed and I feel bad for you.
I never get a good answer. I even gave a good example of true conditions that would fit a normal conservative thought process.
Problem is, todays version of conservative simply isn't actually conservative. AC says he feels sorry for me, but I watch a fair bit of Fox News - that's the stuff they put on, and until the Neocons, or Trotskyites as I like to call them, take down youtube I can give cite after cite after cite of just what I wrote.
I'll throw it out again - What is the conservative news that is being suppressed? If people just "know" it is, they have ot have citations of specific news events that were suppressed.
Otherwise, it is just the bubble demanding expansion.
Fear is not rational. Many people function perfectly well in their lives despite of which live with serious fears in some way or another. This ranges from the mild but understandable (given the constant media parade) of terrorism or getting mugged in a shady part of town, to the downright bizarre like arachibutyrophobia (fear of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth).
Sure. and I play ice hockey and ride motorcycles and would bungee jump if my admittedly more sensible wife would allow me. I also have some fears, the worst is probably a stroke that left me incapacitated but otherwise healthy - 5 minutes in that condition would be too much, years? But I'm not paranoid about it - I'd just starve myself to death if allowed.
And it isn't just the incredibly paranoid woman - it's that her paranoia was considered a good reason to return and interrogate the terrorist ^H^H^H^H^ erm, professor.
But at some point, we entered the idiocracy age. Did this woman not go to high school? Not take algebra? Perhaps she had a mental issue -- I dunno. But if mathematical notes and are now in any way shape or form, considered an acceptable excuse for returning to the hanger - or presumably they'd return to the airport if they were in flight - sorry, we have officially gone completely and incurably batshit insane.
It does go both ways. But it certainly has tilted toward liberal control in the greater media outlets. At least most of us know the leanings of the major papers and can apply the right skepticism. I fear our younger generations haven't quite figured it out yet. I supposed I was that way in my youth as well.
What exactly is the definition of "conservative news"? If it is birtherism, Kenyan Terst Baby, or the right to deprive others of their rights via jeebus, BENGHAZI! or stuff like that, I dunno of we need to continually repeat that stuff.
What is conservative news? Is it what Fox News Represents? I'd like some examples.
I'd say that maybe some of the attempts by fairly hard left leaners to stifle speech on campus, and to label anyone they disagree with as whatever "ist" they are yapping about might be news for conservatives, showing that the left also has it's share of kooks. But I read lot's of that stuff.
But this would appear to be just more of the whining - so watch Fox News or build another network where you can report only what you like, since Fox News has now apparently gone Liberal. Because there is so much going on in the world, that simply deciding on what to report is going to show some sort of bias. Why not have a news network that only shows conservative only topics, blessed and showing the right viewpoint, instead of demanding that other people report only the news you want to hear. Then the truth will prevail as the leftists are shown to be the totalitarians they are.P>
Do like Conservatives did when the AARP went too far left - they formed their own conservative only retired folks group.
And more important, the support in Mint is lacking and very unfriendly if you happen to bump into certain someone on irc, Ubuntu keeps their code of conduct to prevent those abuses.
For the other flavors, Xubuntu and Kubuntu should do just fine.
Yup I've tried out those two, and even Lubuntu for eePC class netbooks.
As for the occasional asshole, you echo my experience - whihc sounds like time to relate......
Experimenting with Paspberry Pi, I tried to install and run Ubuntu Mate on it, why not, the computer I use most of the time has that. Their NOOBS OS is not bad, but why not?
So I downloaded, compiled and installed it. I had some problems, with the install of the amateur radio program I need, but the worst was trying to resize the partition to use unallocated space.. Every time I tried, it did something awful to the microSD card. I couldn't fix it on my Mac, Linux or Windows machines, I actually had to put it in my camera to reformat it.
So dealing with the group I was involved with that is Mint heavy, I explained my problem, and amazingly enough, it was "All my fault", with a couple guys first going the kindly grandpa route, then switching to insulting when I noted that I'd already tried so many methods of re-sizing the card, and the program install wasn't working. Worthless advice and getting pissed off at the person having the problem. And if anything, I was way more humble than needed.
The Ubuntu Mate People? Looked into it, fixed it, and everyone is happy.
The Minty flavored group with the program I needed group? I reported then that I found an issue during the configure process of the program install - it kicked me out of configure asking for an alsasound lib. And I had installed all of the dependencies. I installed it, and reported back that the initial problem was fixed, and after installing the lib the program I needed was working fine. Should have been a simple fix.
And I still caught a ration of crap. "You shouldn't have to install that lib because the program prefers you use Pulseaudio!" "You're doing something wrong, idiot!"
My last post to the group was that if I download, compile, and install the missing lib after configure asked for it, and the end result was the program working perfectly, and I'm still doing something wrong , then I'm hopelessly confused
. Their loss - not mine, I contributed a lot to their wiki, and get chased away. They needed me much more than I needed them. Vigorous discussion is great. Being at fault for doing what you were asked to do, which allowed you to finish compiling the program? Not so much.
Disclaimers on-line that media codecs are not part of the baseline system install = no sale.
Walmart spent the better part of a decade trying to explain the ins and outs of OEM Linux to its customers before throwing in the towel.
Tell me more about this store place where you go to when you want to buy Linux?
The people I have moved on to Linux don't even know of this sort of nuts and bolts stuff. I just show them how to use it, and they are happy doing what they want to do, with a lot less hassle. The people that I work with that are Linux savvy don't care, because it is a non-issue.
Somewhere in the middle might be a few who sweat the market share. I don't know what your Linux experience is, but "Year of Linux on the Desktop" is a bigger joke among journeymen like myself, and the real gurus than it ever was for people who give a damn about that kind of thing.
The mint updater, which is ages better. A pre-baked no-hassle cinnamon release. You can get the mintupdate tool from the mint packages (packages.linuxmint.com)
What part is better? I just updated one of my Ubuntu Mate installs, and it was seamless.
Linux Mint 18 will no longer provide separate, codec-free installation media for OEM and magazine distribution. Instead, the distribution will ship without multimedia support while making it easy for users to acquire media codecs during the initial installation of the operating system.
The OEM system install is essential to obtain measurable market share. Linus has said as much himself. Multimedia support out of the box is so essential in the consumer market space that excluding it from your OEM distribution is perfectly stupid.
Never used Linux, eh? You expended more energy typing your complaint than it takes to get the codecs.
* Seriously disliking Unity. (But now I can install Cinnamon packages on Ubuntu easily.)
I've never really understood this complaint, it's not like ubuntu doesn't have packages for a wide variety of desktop environments. I find that whatever system I use, I always have to install my preferred environment, config files etc anyway.
I suspect the complaint is like the "systemd sucks", the "I can't find any drivers", and other complaints that are probably parroted by people who just want something to hate on, and regurgitate ancient issues that have long gone away. Must have been 8-10 years ago I had a driver problem - which was cured in a few hours.
If we can't find a modern Linux interface we like, we must not like any interfaces at all.
For all of the techical solutions y'all are giving me that this is a bulletproof system, are you also saying tht unattended places are immune from people bustung or messing them up? Is this going to be different from other unattended places?
All of your self driving perfection is ignoring the fact that ATM's get held up - and they have cameras, public restrooms have issues. Somehow some way this taxicab that won't have money is somehow immune.
It's like a no shit moment when I point out an issue, and yes, we can have all manner of technical solutions. My point, lost in this parade of people telling me I am wrong abot the whole thing, is that an unattended cab is going to have more probelms with this sort of stuff than an attended one. If I'm so wrong, they wouldn't need to trace out billing and have multiple cameras and all that other stuff. Fine citizens would merely come in sit down, and enjoy their ride.
And of course, in a court of law, is it a foregone conclusion that the guilty party is always the person before the person that makes the complaint? Anyhow, I think this topic has pretty much had the shit beat out of it.
So tell me, what if you are the second or third person after shitty diaper person?
You call the company and tell them about the problem..
Good to see that you are accepting of shit on the seat. I do not want to get in to a vehicle and find it in the first place. Other people have no issues with it.
the structural integrity of the vehicles interiors
If you're concerned about the tensile strength of the carpet fibers, you'll be reassured to know that it actually increases as the dirt and grime accumulate...
I suspect that after a while, the interiors of these vehicles will be a little like the interiors of some modern police cars in the back seat. barriers to anything but the rear seating area, and all of that area being constructed of extruded polyethylene so that they can just remove and hose it out at the end of the day.
It's also the same situation with automated public rail systems as well. Or subways. Or monorails. Somehow, they're running just fine and not covered in poop.
The New York subways? There's a poster here that compares Windows to the smell of piss in them. Always there, and nothing you can do about it.
And last time I was in one, it did have that bouquet.
For rather small values of "just fine" and your enjoyment: Warning - this is a small part of a lot of videos of people urinating on subways.
So tell me, what if you are the second or third person after shitty diaper person? Just contest the bill, and let them take you to small claims court. Seriously, I'll bow out of this because it appears that y'all have every problem taken care of. No driver, but an army of poopy patrol people keeping the taxi's spotless.
You figure they will have a camera trained on every passengers crotch?
That is unnecessary. The person renting the car is responsible. That is how it already works with rental cars, and with Zipcars, which are pretty much exactly analogous to this situation. This is already established law.
And for the basic person who perhaps hasn't done anything illegal, such aschange a child's diaper and leve the soiled diaper on the seat?
There are examples of what I'm talking about already - unattended public restrooms. A vehicle with a driver can at least clean up. Not that I'm familiar with cab driver's lives, but I do suspect they have to clean up the cab interiors fairly often. And if the cab has to head back to HQ every hour, that's missing fares.
Or is this some sort of slashdottian solution where the drivers are replaced with an equal number people watching security cameras and charging people for leaving litter in the cab?

It's an interesting opinion.

Just not brain cancer - some folks think it might make people temporarily stupid - that's a joke there son....
And I was ready to make the "Correlation Causation" statement. ;)
Indeed. Smartphones don't make people stupid - they just allow stupid people to have access to technology where they can showcase their dumbnitude.
it said dropping 32 bit and i686 there not dropping i686.
Pay attention! Processors, processors, processors!, not 32 bit
FTFA:
[1] The following processors, supported in jessie, are now unspported:
* AMD K5, K6, K6-2 (aka K6 3D), K6-3
* DM&P/SiS Vortex86, Vortex86SX
* Cyrix III, MediaGX, MediaGXm
* IDT Winchip C6, Winchip 2
* Intel Pentium, Pentium with MMX
* Rise mP6
* VIA C3 'Samuel 2', C3 'Ezra'
So, does this mean MS will stop trying to force feed that bloated piece of spyware now?
Does it also mean that they will remove that copy of W10 that they installed on my Windows 7 setup?
