  1. I keep seeing... on Who Killed The Junior Developer? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Ads for entry level developers (read: under 25) with 15 years of experience in 5 year old technology and they'd REALLY be happy if you had some familiarity with their 30 year old legacy systems.

  2. In 1000 years, when Elon Musk and this launch are tiny footnotes in obscure history books, there will be some inhabitants of the Asteroid Belt scratching their heads and going "WHAT THE FUCK?!" when they find that car.

  3. The National Weather Service has been predicting all this disastrous weather and done NOTHING to stop it.

    (for the sarcasm/humor impaired and Republicans, that was a joke)

  4. We're no longer an industrial/agrarian society where workers have to run home from their jobs to tend to their private victory garden.

    I'm sure a few of you out there grow some of your own food, but I doubt you're using it to stave off starvation.

  5. Re:There is always an answer on This Chinese Math Problem Has No Answer. Perhaps, It Has a Lot of Them. (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Obz?

    Are you getting enough oxygen?

    The question makes PERFECT sense to prompt students to think...I need to get more information from the source.

    The only answer I had was that the Captain was at LEAST old enough to be a Ship's Master. If that's legally, then he's got to be trained and old enough to sit for this test. I don't know whether that's 16/18/21 or older. If he's illegally working, he has to be old enough to have at least got the boat to the dock where he picked up the animals.

  6. Old enough to get a commercial ship's master's license

  7. Dear Jack.

    I have a question. When you, and most of your other CEOs lay off all their employees, WHO'S going to be left with money to be your CUSTOMERS?

    Do Robots eat Hamburgers?

    Asking for a friend.

  8. I call BREAKABLE ENCRYPTION.... on FBI Chief Calls Unbreakable Encryption 'Urgent Public Safety Issue' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The absolute end of Commerce on the Internet.

    If ANY third party can break the encryption then we must assume that, given a few days or weeks, EVERY third party has broken the encryption.

    NO commercial transactions will be safe.

    Back to the 1970s, guys.

  9. I Believe.... on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On UFO Sightings? · · Score: 2

    In UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS.

    I do not necessarily believe they came from alien intelligences.
    I just believe they're "UNIDENTIFIED"

  10. AI will not replace humans... on Stephen Hawking: 'I Fear AI May Replace Humans Altogether' (wired.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    ...in a bloody takeover.

    Nope. They'll just be BETTER at everything than humans. Eventually, the low level humans will be die off from the ravages of poverty. The higher level ones will linger and succumb to inbreeding and just become incapable of reproduction

  11. I wonder... on Linux Pioneer Munich Confirms Switch To Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    How many hookers and grams of coke that cost Micro$oft

  12. 2017 Darwin Award Winner on Flat Earther Plans To Launch Homemade Manned Rocket (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    In...10...9...8...7....

  13. Perl is hated.... on Perl is the Most Hated Programming Language, Developers Say (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Only by those who use it.

  14. Why do Web Developers Keep Making the Same Mistake on Why Do Web Developers Keep Making The Same Mistakes? (hpe.com) · · Score: 1

    Because they're the same people.

  15. It's what happened to their parents. It's only fair

  16. Perhaps it's because.... on US Employers Struggle To Match Workers With Open Jobs (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    They're requiring 20 years experience in 30 different technologies and looking to fill these positions with 25 year-olds who will work the first 12 months as unpaid interns.

  17. HELL do you get THAT much porn?

  18. Not enough for long haul, yet. But a fair start

  19. I want a professional pilot on the plane and in charge. So much of flying is situational awareness. Also, an on board pilot is not subject to loss of signal.
    Lastly, a pilot in the plane's ass is as much on the line as mine.

  20. Will welcome entrepreneurs

  21. The oil companies have all the renewables CEOs shot

  22. Will never have Universal Basic Income in USA on A New Report Finds No Evidence That People Will Work Less Under a Universal Basic Income (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Instead, as jobs are eliminated forever and the jobs to available workforce ratio gets larger, the government will implement a much more expensive system of rounding up the permanently unemployable, dispatching them, then disposing of their dead husks.

    BECAUSE, paying people who cannot work does not make rich people more money. This plan will reduce the tax burden on the wealthy, while giving them ample opportunity to come up with profitable methods of collection and disposal.

  23. He didn't Badly Mistunderstand on Trump Misunderstood MIT Climate Research, University Officials Say (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    He BIGLY Doesn't Care.

    It is virtually impossible for Trump to LIE, because he actually has NO grounding in Reality, and LIKES IT THAT WAY.

  24. Ageism on Can Older IT Workers 'Navigate' Ageism? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    No.
    Not unless we get younger.

    One of the problems I see is ageism plus experiencism. When they want someone with 15 years experience who is under 30.

    Often they combine this with the fact that the technology they're demanding 15 years experience in is less than 5 years old

  25. COBOL Programmers? on The Working Dead: Which IT Jobs Are Bound For Extinction? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Really?

    The problem we have in this area is that all the COBOL Programmers are retiring and then coming back as contractors for twice the price.

    I see ads trying to recruit COBOL programmers but they all say "Junior Programmer" or "Entry Level Programmers" insisting that more than 3 years of experience is "Overqualified"

    Damned fools don't seem to realize that COBOL hasn't been taught since 1990. They're not going to find a 25YO COBOLer.

    And all of those millions of KLOCs are just sitting there, waiting for someone to care for them.
