Denial denial denial! At one time automobiles were a novelty! Just as they have become indispensable to the needs to society, so too can improvements in robotics become indispensable to the fast food industry. You can't make the claim because it happened happened yet, then it won't. That's just pulling the wool over your own eyes.
Except before globalization, domestic workers were automatically the most competitive workers. Globalization has made domestic workers noncompetitive. So your statement supports my claim, not yours, if you are in fact the same Anonymous Coward.
So you're trying to make the claim that globalization has not changed the world's economies in any fundamental way. That companies are run the same way that they were 100 years ago, and boardrooms around the nation are equally as interested as employing domestic workers as they were before. That's a pretty hard road to take but I'm waiting for you to cite evidence to back you claim. For America's sake I hope that you are right.
Actually apparently your first statement is a misnomer. Farming communities would have a crunch around harvesting time, and of course they could starve if crops were mad, but most of the time they only did a. couple hours of work a day. Cars and tractors actually created work when they were invented, because people on this side of the ocean were needed to build them.
You are referring to the days when companies still thought they needed domestic people to survive. Managers were still taught to nurture the domestic pool of talent that they had, because they were still key to a company's growth. Today a company isn't considered successful if it relies on domestic workers as part of its business plan. Huge fundamental shift there that people with the tired old 'buggy whip' argument don't understand.
I don't really use that many apps that are important to me. I maybe own $50 worth of apps, and I'm not quite sure what the heck people are buying that cost that much. Also, I have never had any desire to go to iOS and knew I never would. The simple fact that I can't just plug the phone in and access a filesystem combined with my absolute dislike for iTunes has always been a deal breaker for me.
I always take those kinds of things into consideration when I buy products, and perhaps it is part of the reason I have not embraced apps. I can't get involved with something if it will lock me in.
Where I am from it is even worse. You have to get 'Peanut Free' granola bars. Which means you have to pick from 5% of the granola bars out there which are the most mass-produced and almost certainly the candy ones.
It would take me forever to poke through every preference of the OS and every app! Why can't OSX just show me everything and let me turn it off if I want? Last night I was working on email settings and the UI was driving me nuts. There were around five different little layers to drill down in the settings. IMAP and SMTP options should not be totally hidden until you find the correct checkmark to uncheck. Just show them greyed out for crying out loud. Very frustrating.
It's funny, because OSX is supposed to be the 'less customization required' OS yet people tell me I have to go look through the settings over and over and I don't have to do it on Windows and/or Linux. On windows and linux I can't say I've gone to the settings at all for simple gui operations.
- If I was using my laptop where I could use an actual keyboard all the time then I would have bought a tower. I bought a laptop to use everywhere, therefore I only connect a keyboard 10% of the time.
- I meant touchbar and activating Siri, not touchpad
- Sometimes I don't want to see files in a list. Sometimes I want to see icons. What is the point of having a mode if it can't be used? Seriously, no other OS has an issue with icons.
- I have learned to snap up to the screen, it doesn't stop it from feeling incredibly inefficient to move the pointer far away from the window you are working on and not be able to see two menus at a time. I don't care about laws.
- I mean links in the web browser, and no it was an OS thing and no browser would have made a difference. At least that is how the comments I read explained it.
- I do iPhone development and my project has hundreds of files, I don't think I can use textedit for that.
- I know about checking for CPU use. Seriously the battery life is a small niggle compared to the rest. I'm running VMs, I'm running intellij etc, the battery does ok all things considered. I rarely have to bring the adapter with me.
- I don't really like how OSX does things on a 'per app' basis. It takes too long to get set up. I will look at what you mean by the NeXT tree view, I don't know what NeXT is or what their treeview is.
- Again, I bought a laptop to use anywhere, I don't always have my DasKeyboard with me.
I don't find many keyboards that the tilde is comfortable to type on. Over years of repetition, it is less efficient to me. Really I can't believe it is a topic of discussion. I'm not really going to blame Apple for calling it the home directory in OSX but then calling it Users. The filesystem doesn't exist right? There is only iCloud, warm aluminum and a nice glow..
I hate the Apple store. The cues aren't there so you know who to go to. I wanted to pay for something so I went to a desk, because that is usually the type or furniture at which I pay for things. Except the desk wasn't a desk, it was a service desk. I couldn't pay there. They said to go to the other end of the store. I instantly felt welcomed. They looked at me like I had two heads. So I went to the other side of the store looking for something that said something like, "CASHIER" and there was nothing. I knew walking out of the store was bad. And I found the experience very confusing, but I digress.
As long as I can avoid the Apple Store, I am ok. My Samsung Galaxy got a few updates, more than I expected, and then when it stopped I didn't care any more because it was falling apart anyway and my plan ended. I've never had a problem with Android. Speaking from the developer side, Android is a whole lot more forgiving. Guess which was the one ventor that forced me to get THEIR product to do development?

I just wonder how long it will take these people to realize that Trump is NOT getting their jobs back.
Ah the magsafe power adapter that falls out if you don't use your laptop at a desk.
It looks like it is an OAuth confirmation. In that case all you need to do is say 'yes' and mystery website gets an access key for your account.
Wow, what's this thing called the cloud? Having all your files available on the internet all the time sounds like a GREAT IDEA!
I can't say I remember that day.
I'm not sure if you can call 'sterile' looking nice. It looked sterile. That's about it.
Well... I used to always think Americans were crazy for not wanting the government in their lives, but then Trump won and I finally understood.

Oh and I meant iTunes is bloated. If I just want to play a small playlist of MP3 files there seems to be no lightweight option for Mac.

I associate the app store with 'buying stuff' and I don't buy updates, so I didn't look there.
But I don't like talking to sales people. When I go to a store I have already done my research. I'm there to grab the product and go to the checkout.
Not all plastic is made the same, apparently.
