Try that as a plumber. When the torpedo strikes, throw two washers into the flood, turn around and grumble "Call if it doesn't get better by tomorrow".
Wrong. Dead wrong. People talk. And people look. Most of all, people want to know how their life's going to be not only for the next 10 years but they have plans for retirement. And especially in these times, showing that you should enlist because your time after service is going to be so much better than when you don't enlist would certainly help recruitment.
If I know I'll be dumped when I'm 40, i.e. when it starts to get hard getting a job without meaningful qualifications, without said qualifications or anything, why the fuck would I enlist?
If I know I'll come out of the service when I'm 40 and not only will I have some sort of retirement fund I can look forward to when I get to 60 but I'll also have some kind of training and certification that allows me to land a good job, there's an incentive to enlist when I'm 20.
If you want my best and most productive years from me, you better have something to offer!
No, they just keep coming back. You'll notice it's not the same, they just all look the same. They all look the same. With their dead, beady eyes and their strange clothes. You've seen one user, you've seen them all. And they're all the same. Clever little bastards, they are, they get you when you least suspect it. Watch out, right before lunch break. You notice it by the ring of the phone. Usually they lure you with a "quick job" before lunch, you go over an BAM! They're gone. Out to lunch. Without leaving a note what's to fix.
Every day. Every day you say that you won't do it, you won't go. But you go. You don't know why, it's almost like... mechanic. You stop worrying, you stop wondering. You know that one day, one day you'll stop.
Amazon, congratulations, you just reinvented OTA-TV stations. Just that it's not OTA but through the network cable, but I am fairly sure people don't care.
You might have noticed, though, that people can get that without Fire-TV. What they don't get (easily) without Fire-TV is ad-FREE video. In other words, you might want to rethink the general idea and ponder your target demographic.
You're on the Titanic and it's sinking. You run to the bridge, only to notice that Daffy Duck is the captain. There are now two things you can do: Cry in despair or laugh in despair.
I prefer to laugh. It's about as productive, just with higher serotonin levels.
Yes, it's horrible. And it's not like it could have been any better. When you have a two party system and both party field the equivalent of self destruction, there is nothing you can do. Quite frankly, if I had had to vote in the US in the last presidential election and someone asked me at gunpoint "Trump or Hillary", my answer would've been "shoot".
Since we're in an economy where we have more people than jobs, someone quitting his job will quickly be replaced, so the damage to the old company is minimal. A new self employed person is one more employed person, and if his idea takes off, it's one more employed person, potentially even more if he has to hire additional people.
If it fizzles, nothing is lost. Instead of person A, person B is now employed.
At worst, it's a zero sum game for the overall economy. At best, it's new jobs being created. I fail to see the drawback.
My guess is that it's more due to two kinds of Chinese existing. Those that have no money, so why bother stealing their identity, and those that have enough money and hence political clout to have you found and your organs harvested if you do.
This. You apply for a new job, you use a new email address. For various reasons.
First, the obvious one. Are you absolutely certain you didn't use that email to sign up for the MLP-Fansite and it doesn't leak your mail address to show up in a google search for the mail address?
Second, the research angle. Using a mail address only to apply for a job at a company, you can gauge when and where they sell it to spammers judging by the recruiter mail and other spam you get.
Pretty much this. I once landed a job exactly because I did not have FB. Companies who take security serious tend to look for people who take their personal security serious, since, well, why should I assume you care about mine if you obviously don't even care about your own?
Considering the speed they get patched out of the game, that's not too much. Maybe in 10 years we still have at least one or two working radio channels.
You might have to pay that burger flipper more. At least 'til he's replaced by robots, which would actually come sooner, if anything, the higher the cost of your workforce, the more drive any kind of automation has gotten. Take Japan for an example.

"Police is looking for a psycho killer."
"Hmm... how much are they paying?"
If 75% of your population are dumb, fat and criminal, I dare say it's very much a social problem not an individual one anymore.

And they keep being not there.

Oh, then you should not read the caricatures of Klaus Stuttmann.
It's German, but even without Google translate most of it makes sense.

It's sad, but this is actually the first question that comes to mind whenever any hard- or software announces new features:
"Can we turn it off?"
So Tai Nee Wang and Long Dong were innocent?

The privacy of Google and the reliability of AOL?
tai.nee.wang@aol.com was taken, I get it?
Since I only use both for unimportant (i.e. work related) stuff...
If you actually use encryption, yes.
Pretty much this. I once landed a job exactly because I did not have FB. Companies who take security serious tend to look for people who take their personal security serious, since, well, why should I assume you care about mine if you obviously don't even care about your own?
The gold comparison for good recruiters is apt. To find one, you have to shovel a lot of crap.

Who cares?
Never play chess with a pigeon, it will just flutter about, throw down the pieces, shit on the board and claim victory.
So ... the Pravda did report the truth, as its name would suggest? I'm kinda confused.
This conversation can continue once you got a clue on how UBI works.
