High unemployment is not sustainable. People won't just sit back and go "oh well, I guess I'm out of a job for the rest of my life. I'll just sit and do nothing".
The higher the unemployment, the more pressure on governments to do something about it, and the more incentive is given to alternative governments to introduce radical solutions.
I'm quite interested in the idea of universal basic income, since it would free up a lot of highly creative people to do what they love, and create new markets and push new innovative ideas further than is currently possible.
I don't know if/how it would work in every detail, but it sure seems like something we should be looking at as a society. I've heard rumours that there are places in the world where this is being trialled, but can't remember the details.
Are you sure the real reason isn't just that you want people to continue to buy both a mac and an ipad? creating a hybrid would only compete with both of the other products...
Yes actually, that book says if Jesus didnt live again, then it's a complete waste of time and to examine the evidence to decide for yourself.
And how do you suppose one should attempt to falsify that?
If you look at the evidence - and despite what you are about to say, there most certainly IS evidence to look at - and say yes, He did live again.... well that's going to be interesting for you, isnt it? But this notion Christianity is not falsifiable is garbage.
At the very best all you can do is say that some people from the first century WROTE that some other people had seen Jesus alive again after he died, some 40-50 years prior. It only works if you trust everything they wrote as being accurate. You can appeal to other events recorded in the same gospels, but now you've just increased the number of dubious events with no means of verifying any of them.
I think there is at best a lot of uncertainty surrounding the events, and at worst it's pretty damn likely there was no resurrection.

Um, yeah, until someone decides that putting a pretty LED display on the outside of the box would be a good way to have a bomb go undetected.
I always thought there was a kind of natural selection happening in the linux world.
If systemD is so bad, how is it now the standard in pretty much every distro? It must serve some purpose. On the other hand, complaining about it seems to serve no purpose at all. If the teams who put together every distro thought this way, they wouldn't have used it. No doubt there are some distros that don't use it.
I just don't see the point in all of these complaints. What good does it do?
The existing systems must be inferior in some way - maybe even just PR? If systemD really isn't a better toaster, then either build one that is, or get into discussions with distro makers. That seems to me to be a far better course of action than continually complaining to peers about how bad systemD is and how it's taking over linux.
Does Google even have any devices currently running 4.3?
I think it would be nice if they patched it, but the patch would still need to be picked up by manufacturers and released to carriers and then to phones.
The manufacturers could just as easily patch it themselves. Not that this lets Google off the hook.
Saying that other people are worse than is not a valid argument. It doesn't improve our score one bit. It just adds to the list of people we should be disappointed in.
Our treatment of refugees is disgusting. I don't care who does it even worse. It doesn't make what we do any better. It most definitely doesn't make it acceptable.
It gives companies who pollute less an advantage, and it gives businesses an incentive to look into renewable energy.
For example: Electricity prices would go up but only until it became cheaper to get solar, and at that point the price war resumes. Customers will not pay higher prices if there is a cheaper alternative, and so a carbon tax opens up an advantage for technologies that cause less polution.
Besides, the stats in Australia show that the carbon tax was working.
I would like to see a world where Foxconn is free to do this but is forced to find equivalent/suitable work for any employees that are made redundant. If a company is "hiring" robots specifically to save costs, and human jobs are made redundant in the process, then the company should be responsible for those humans.
But alas, I'm probably dreaming and it'll never happen:(
Greed and profits always seem to win out over basic humanity...
Learn to read. I was commenting on people that need debuggers, like in the OP? Using a debugger and needing one are two different things.
Are you kidding?
Yes they are different, but they are related, as follows:
If you need a debugger but don't use one, you're an idiot. If you use a debugger but don't need to, you're just wasting time.
You've yet to demonstrate that anyone ACTUALLY doesn't need to use one (as opposed to just thinking they are so good they don't need one)...but that's another issue I think.

Great, now you just need to explain what the point of sending bacteria on a long-distance space trip would be...

I was of the understanding that the Trust and Safety Council was specifically invented to protect the "offended" crowd.
These people seem to turn "being offended" into a profession.
Because no one ever got lost before GPS, right?
That's interesting. I wonder if that's why Google offers unlimited photo storage but at lower res?

I don't see how that makes download size irrelevant. It still affects performance even if running locally.

Exactly!

Doesn't manslaughter do that too?
How is this not modded up?!
In the Linux world, I guess we would call this "natural selection" ;-)
I've been using Arch Linux as both a work and a personal desktop for over a year now. What am I doing that you're not, or vice versa?
Arch excels at its primary purpose. It's by far the best linux distro I've used, and I've tried many (for serious work not just tinkering).
I agree.
Someone didn't THINK too DEEPLY about this...
This comment reminded me of Dr Sbaitso for some reason.

Fair enough.
It fails to do anything useful backwards as well :)
