I would not recommend coming to the United States in our current political climate. It could be extremely dangerous for them.
I'm not here to spew hate at people from other countries...I'm saying that there are elements in this country right now who would not hesitate to injure or kill them in the name of "Making America Great".
GOTO was kinda special...It was to either completely exit a procedure when the input conditions were just TOO F'd up. Quite often the jump was to the equivalent of a "Halt and Catch Fire" sorta error processing.
GOD, I LOVED recursion. Of course, I slung a boat load of LISP code in my younger days.
But 35 years ago people thought homosexual marriage was outrageous," Cheok said. "Until the 1970s, some states didn't allow white and black people to marry each other. Society does progress and change very rapidly."
Making a mockery of marriage is what it's doing.
Well, don't marry someone of the same sex and we won't mock you for your decisions. OTHERWISE, let people who CHOOSE to marry someone of the same sex be. It's not your problem, now is it?
They get tents! Wow! They're supposed to dutifully freeze or starve to death after the Christmas Rush like good Donald Trump Voting Americans want them to.
It WON'T HAPPEN. If "Robots" of one sort or the other replace 40% of the workforce--then the only job openings will be ensuring that that 40% starve quietly and efficiently.
The AI's won't replace us by force--they won't be designed to have that much 'give-a-shit'. They will just be better at everything than us, right up until there are no more US. Then they will quietly go on doing their own thing until they die off from lack of repair. Or go into some permanent form of "energy save" mode because they're not necessary.
I interviewed at a consulting company that made you sign a couple of WEIRD docs BEFORE the interview. One was that you would UNCONDITIONALLY accept their offer if the position was offered of Whatever the salary was at the time--It was in the Mid-50s, which wasn't bad...but the kicker was, if you quit, were laid off, or fired, you could not work for any of their "customers or competitors" for a period of 2 years. And they had a "list" of "customers and competitors" that was about as thick as the Chicago phone book.
It was PROBABLY totally unenforceable against anyone with lawyers to fight it, but I walked out, anyway.
I WILL GRANT them this---it was spelled out in VERY PLAIN English in a summary paragraph, along with the accompanying 20 pages of legalese.
The first one--by granting us the right to continue this interview, you agree to be contractually obligated to accept our salary offer of (whatever it was) and begin your employment within two weeks of our offer. and the non-compete was pretty much the same. 2 years--don't work for any of the companies in *This* book in any capacity.
I elected to leave the interview.
Sounded too much like I was signing up to be an indentured servant..
I ever saw were 10-16 characters, CAPS, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. No sequence of 3 or more letters could spell a dictionary word, no sequence of characters from the 4 groups could go more than 3 characters, and changed every 25-30 days.
If you locked yourself out, you had to be unlocked by a network security officer who had to come to your desk WITH YOUR SUPERVISOR and check your ID.

Eventually, they'll just ban passengers on passenger flights.
Containment and disposal of humans who no longer have a function in society.
Most archeologists agree that Humans have been in North America for around 15000 years.
HOWEVER, Both the Navajo and Hopi nations claim 50000 years of history in their ancestral lands.
MAYBE they're right and the archeologists are wrong.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it would be seriously cost prohibitive to re-write all the COBOL applications banks use.
Old, fat people pr0n?
Why the hell would you want a camera in my bedroom? WHEN you get "action" it's going to be a flabby @$$ attempting to (@)%@ another flabby @$$.
The rest is going to be dark with a lot of snoring.
Should leave themselves at HOME.

STILL WORK!
The only danger to them is the occasional termite
The contract to build the Suicide Netting?
This is probably going to become the new norm. People who work and pay taxes just living hand to mouth on the streets.
And the 1% at the top will still think the mother fuckers get to damned much money.

There will be a witch hunt. The lucky ones will be just fired. Most of the rest will be blacklisted. A few will be jailed.
Or, he'll just release their names so the Trumpettes can hunt them down and kill them.
Obviously Amazon is paying them too much.

I have a question or so for said CEOs.
*Who's gonna buy your shit when there are no employees with money?*
ROBOTS? Are you going to sell ROBOTS this year's fashion accessories?
Does a computer need a car to get to work and a truck to haul his camper or boat on summer weekends? Does it need a camper or boat?
Will a 'droid play games on its DROID or iPhone?
Will an automaton spend $100 at a restaurant? or on Thanksgiving dinner at home?
Do mechs watch Prime Time commercial TV? Or Saturday morning cartoons?
I had this image of getting 3AM drunk texts from POTUS.
Fuck you! Boss!
I will not train my replacement who you're scaring up from Timbuk-fore to replace me at 1/10th of my American standard wages.

Or did the Mayor get sold some bad Crack?
We TOLD him "ONLY USE REPUTABLE DEALERS" not the cut rate guys.
Sad face.
We've got a whole month to redevelop our video streaming platform from the ground up.
The reason??
The good stuff is going away and what's left is crap MST3K wouldn't even send up.
The economy doesn't work unless a certain amount of people are starving.
And we'll be reading reports of jail suicides like "accused beat himself to death on the night sticks of a dozen sheriff's deputies.
