If an ancient, famed mathematician talks about a "simple" proof, it usually means the paper is only the size of a phone book instead of a whole library.
They use words differently than you or me would. It's like when astronomers talk about "nearby objects".
You're also the one that will be asked to stay longer when shit hits the fan and needs to be done. I prefer to come late, that way this fate can't hit me.
The only ones that will be bitten by this are the millennials. Me, as a GenXer, I already have made my mark. I can point to a track record of successes and if you don't want to hire me over something I posted online at some point in time, go ahead, then someone else gets me. Your loss. The generation after them will be wary of posting anything stupid and un-PC (or maybe even anything at all) online because they will see what's going on. Sure, you'll have a few loudmouth idiots like in every generation, but they don't (have to) worry about a career anyway, those people have found ways to fuck up their lives before, the whole social media circus just made it easier for them.
The generation that will suffer from poorly worded or unfortunate posts that can be quotemined are those that grew up with it. It's not that they're "dumber" than any generation before or after them, they are just the ones that get into this mess without anything warning them of the consequences and without the clout to simply ignore them.
When you pay peanuts, you get chimps. When you pay minimum wage, you can't threaten me with firing me. I mean, well, you can, but it's kinda toothless.
Yes, but in the "developed world" it's dwindling. And it's gonna take a LONG time until Indians and Chinese can (and will be dumb enough) to buy the crap we're happy to buy.
Streaming is convenient and flexible, and 9 out of 10 songs produced today aren't worth the space on a HD to be archived for longer than it takes to listen to them once.
But we are already at the point where we produce more than we can possibly sell. You may not have noticed it, but investors are desperately looking for something to invest in, the problem is that the viability of a product depends on having someone to sell to, and with fewer and fewer people having disposable income, fewer and fewer people are able to buy and consume.
At some point, and we have arrived at this point, there is no potential for increased efficiency anymore. We're hitting physical limits. If you want to increase your own profits, you now have to reduce those of someone else.
We're no longer increasing general production, we're shuffling around what's available.

Thank you for explaining the joke.

The number one way to screw up your life is having sex. From STDs to pregnancies to rape allegations...
They have no lobbying group.
It kills those in their 20s disproportionately often because those in their 20s tend to die rarely from cardiac arrest, cancer or a stroke.

Finger on the reader? FFS, I work in a highly sensitive area and even I was never asked to hand over my prints.
Most likely 'cause we know how easily fingerprint readers can be fooled, but that's not the point...
We call that the "secret ingredient".
But only that they store it in a wrong way.
That's what's wrong here.

Just build a wall and have them pay for it.
Programming would be so much easier without the damn user!

But...but... thinkofthechildren!

You mean in countries where you have to sell your shit at cost level so anyone would actually buy it?
Can you name a contemporary song that you actually wanted to hear twice, let alone more often?
Make it more secure first!
Please!
For the love of $deity!
If I, like the corporations in the "free" world, control the government then yes, I do want the government to pick the winners and losers.

More and more buying startups is done defensively than offensively, i.e. eliminating competition rather than trying to establish some new technology.
Or, in short, the difference in quality no longer warrants the expense for a new item.
At some point, and we have arrived at this point, there is no potential for increased efficiency anymore. We're hitting physical limits. If you want to increase your own profits, you now have to reduce those of someone else.
