This. Either find a niche where you are the best in your immediate entourage/region and hence needed, or get out.
Companies want code monkeys that can (and want) to stay coding late, are happy with peanuts and have no family demands.
By 40, you are spoiled goods because you are married/paired and have kids by then, no longer buy into the need of permanent crunch time and you want more than peanuts.
Right now manned space in general would be better off if they gave the SLS budget to Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, to make a few big honking rockets for going to Mars or anywhere else they can sell a ticket for.
NASA should steer out of the launching business altogether and focus on space science and new technologies, and let the private sector take over the known technology of space launchers.
Possible, but in that case, don't you make the announcement of the replacement(s) first, then you discontinue the replaced products. To avoid this kind of misunderstandings.
Good to remember that not long ago, Intel PR touted the IoT as the Next Big Thing and the company followed suit, with entire groups and people dedicated to having these products out the fab.
These development platforms (the vehicle for having their IoT processors into product makers' hands) being now discontinued most likely means the sales were disappointing and that these groups probably are no more and there won't be any follow up.
Which is not that surprising, giving Intel is used to earn a living from high margin products, not cheap stuff that needs to sell millions to make a margin.
Seems like this market, like Mobile before it, will belong to ARM.
I have discovered that the RT critics and I have different tastes in movies. Either because of political leaning, education and personal background, the kind of things they enjoy and the kind of things I enjoy at the movie theater are not a perfect intersection.
Also, they tend to treat movies differently, according to the perceived level of popularity of the movie previous to release.
For big franchises with a lot of zealous fans, they avoid the more biting critiques, knowing they could be stung by the public backlash.
But they love the hate bandwagons, for movies with a previous story of public rejection or controversy.
And don't get me started with the political pandering stuff, which makes them shower some movies in flattery and bitterly criticize others not aligned with their personal political leaning.
Nowadays I prefer sites with viewer's scores besides of the critics'. If the critics' and the viewers' scores align, then I'm in.
The fact this incompetent blabber mouth (or paid shill) can't code his way out of a paper sack, doesn't mean the world stopped needing people that actually know their way with actual computers and the way they really work.
C and C++ still are the method of choice for those looking for making things work with the best performance (C) or with a reasonable compromise between abstraction and performance (C++).
C and C++ are so enduring precisely because they don't provide the many syntactic and semantics candies other languages do, making these other languages unfit to work with the hardware as it is.
Computer science and engineering have gone a low way since their beginning, making many people live all the time at a high level of abstraction, and also believe that all there is in computers can also be made in the high level abstractions they are used to, the ones that clean themselves up after being used, and that find missing dependencies automagically.
Not so, computers still are stupid, stubborn machines that need to be forced to behave. And for this, low level languages still reign supreme.
Given the beating Linux has given to the other server OSes and its near total dominance there, I find it doubtful they could follow that approach. If they tried that sneaky backstabbing approach, nothing prevents Linux to fork into other distros keeping whatever makes Linux tick with its users alive.
And Linux has never been dominant in the desktop either, so this actually may increase the number of users in that space.
After hearing that Tim Cook told their CEO off for their shenanigans, and a significant increase of similar news items, one has to wonder if Uber has a serious problem of dishonesty, starting at the CEO level.
It requires going into significant (pointless) effort to actually reduce the numeric representation capabilities of the humble unsigned char for the possible age of humans.
Seems to be a clear example of over-engineering it.
We better be careful with the implications of a statistics or inference based society. f the algorithms start predicting blacks, latinos, etc are riskier or worse off in general, given current existing conditions, it would in general recommend their owners not to give them a loan, hire or anything evaluated with ML to them.
Therefore, they will continue to be uneducated, unemployed, without means to make a business and in general poorer and more likely to engage in a life of crime. All that nasty stuff that comes with poverty and lack of work, education and opportunities in general.
Ergo they will continue to be riskier and worse off than those in social groups with better evaluations. Rinse and repeat.

Exactly that.

Sadly, more and more sites have adblocker detectors, and pester you about whitelisting them or plainly refuse to show their content.

For the excitement of belonging to the elite, of course, along with the millions of elite people that will get indebted for belonging to the club.
Such privilege deserves to make a queue days in advance, waiting for the phone that makes you special and unique.
Sigh. After so many years of the same show, it stopped being funny.
Hello darkness my old friend...

Bombs and bullets still better at dealing with the problem.
Ha, not a chance.
What they want is to control what you learned without paying a single dime.
If they could actually wipe out the years you spent with them from your brain, they would.

Yes, the gig economy is gonna save us.

Found the Azure guy.
Should we assume that Google, Amazon and many others only run their business on small Linux boxes with Apache?

Agree. This movie is still pretty watchable and entertaining twenty years later.
The French comic-book inspired look and feel makes it almost ageless.
That's why I'm also waiting for Luc Besson's next comic-book movie extravaganza, "Valerian".
You mean Arnie's 80s version, right?

That won't prevent them from creating mindless piranha bots to deal accordingly with your retirement/mortgage.
Given what mods already give you for free, I fail to see the business model of microtransactions in Minecraft.
And kids into it are very savvy about modding it.
Oh wait, you mean in consoles? yeah, those poor souls have to suck it up.
Unless that's exactly what you are looking for,
Nothing personal, but the only way any company/government busybodies are putting a meat tag on me is over my lifeless corpse.
And they are opening themselves to litigation if employees feel coerced into getting such an invasive and demeaning tracking method.
