  1. We already had the answer in 1966 on Can Marc Andreessen Stop Technology From Eating Our Jobs? (hackernoon.com) · · Score: 2

    It was well-documented and envisioned in Star Trek - money is no longer a thing, and people spend time leveling themselves up.

    Oh yeah? You might want to take your dentures out before you throw down, grandpa

  3. Who cares on People Older Than 65 Share the Most Fake News, Study Finds (theverge.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    They are on their way to fake heaven

  4. Re:Lenovo Thinkpad? on Ask Slashdot: Which Laptop Should I Buy For My First Employee? · · Score: 1

    Its likely the only serious choice for a Windows laptop.

    To answer OP's question: Chromebook > Lenovo > MacBook based on what you described the role would need.

  5. Only if you want a great job on Ask Slashdot: Is LinkedIn Still Relevant? · · Score: 0

    All of my jobs that paid me over $120k/year I got through LinkedIn.

    If you want to scrape the bottom of a barrel or looking for a blue collar gig, try Indeed instead.

  6. Re:Nice on China Successfully Lands Spacecraft On Far Side of the Moon (cnbc.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    The US is too busy buttfucking Catholic boys while the Chinese are eating their lunar lunch for atheistic breakfast.

    Be honest with yourself and admit it - our glory days are over, and the commies won.

  7. Re:Nice on China Successfully Lands Spacecraft On Far Side of the Moon (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You know, aside from me missing an 'n' in an 'an', its kind of ironic. Your sarcasm will be proven wrong, because it is, in point of fact, a seriously cool achievement for the Chinese.

    Sure you can put a couple of guys on a bright side and have them jump around and collect rock samples (or maybe fake it in a studio depending on your vantage point), but to continue iterating on a closest celestial object we have to our point of origin and exploring sides unknown is a leap beyond technological - its a leap of purpose, a leap of faith that we don't generally associate with the Chinese.

    You should all be concerned, because today, Chinese have truly surprised the American, and I'm impressed and annoyed at the same time.

  8. Nice on China Successfully Lands Spacecraft On Far Side of the Moon (cnbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Be gracious, lad. This is an achievement worthy of a admiration.

  9. Economic pressures on The EU is Banning Almost All Coal Mining on Jan 1 (futurism.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    This will hopefully drive the cost of business for US coal miners way up, since there is now a smaller market of buyers. The real question is why are we providing welfare for the mediocre?

  10. Re:TOUCH GREP UNZIP FINGER MOUNT FSCK UMOUNT on Debian's Anti-Harassment Team Is Removing A Package Over Its Name (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Debian has never been relevant

  11. Re:Pot meets Kettle. on IBM CEO Joins Apple In Blasting Data use By Silicon Valley Firms (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Kind of ironic of IBM to talk about irresponsible handling of personal data given their Nazi history

  12. Re:Leadership skills on Snap CEO Hired Chief Business Officer, Then Changed His Mind (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Its a shit company with shit product. She should've looked at the
    Glassdooor reviews and told them to fuck off.

  13. Re:(points and laughs) Ha Ha! on An ISP Left Corporate Passwords, Keys, and All Its Data Exposed On the Internet (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Um no.

    AWS is secure by default. It takes a deliberate, incompetent effort to expose your data to the internet, and anyone who has a breach like that deserved to be sued into the stone age.

  14. We pay people to do that for us, its called the government. That does not mean the rest of us have to stay in that fight-or-flight context all the time.

  15. The stuff on A Shadowy Op-Ed Campaign Is Now Smearing SpaceX In Space Cities (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Let me guess, this guy was a blue collar worker who thinks he is an engineer, and now lives in the south and thinks he actually knows better.

    This is the exact kind of people you would expect to support Trump - opinionated, wrong, and with years of mediocre experience doing stupid shit like driving a truck or working construction.

    I don't have a problem with these idiots. I have a problem with people who would listen to them, and whatever fake news organization staffed by similar mediocre types who would publish their stories under the banner of experienced "spacecraft operator".

    Quite literally a white noise generator, trying to be relevant, years after they've stopped being relevant.

  16. Re: Clearly not the answer? on Canada's Ontario Government Ends Basic Income Project (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 2

    Small people are greedy and incapable of thinking beyond their own condition.

    You don't deserve to live in a society that has UBI, universal coverage, and all the best kind of perks that life has to offer, because you are selfish, greedy, and small.

    And people that offer you this option are entirely too generous and willing to actually work even if some people will benefit without putting in any effort.

  17. Think At The Margins on Occupational Licensing Blunts Competition and Boosts Inequality (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    The reason doctors get paid a lot has nothing to do with the fact they are required to have a license. It has to do with supply and demand and an artificial Ricardian Rent that is imposed by the American Medical Association. If they stopped imposing limits on number of medical schools that can exist and number of medical students that can enroll every year, we would have more specialists and all doctors would get paid less - on par with their European counterparts.

    Nurses try to do the same by imposing ridiculous standards to become BSN and MSN/NP certified, with individual programs having very high academic requirements and standards, with some programs approaching 50% attrition rate. The effect is the same as medical school, except when you get to med school its virtually impossible to get flunked.

    When I worked as a certified EMT I can tell you there is no such union or association lobbying on my behalf, so when inter-facility transport company or a hospital wants to hire an EMT they can afford to pay as little as possible because there are plenty of people who want the job and can become certified.

    So don't believe the economist article when they think that eliminating regulation or loosening requirements will lower how much you pay - an uneducated and untrained practitioner is dangerous and will drive up insurance rates which will be always be translated to consumer paying more.

    The best possible outcome is that of an actuarial profession - anyone can get certified as long as you pass stringent exams which don't even cost that much, and you can study on your own time without any middleman (college) taking a cut.

  18. Yawn on What Are Today's Most Difficult IT Hires? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet another article written by a soft-skills proponent (aka management) who try so hard to justify their own existence.

    At the end of the day none of the people you write about need you.

    But hey, someone needs you write this drivel to make themselves feel relevant.

  19. Synthehol on Can Science Make Alcohol Safer? (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 2

    Citation of what? Someone else's opinion? Wrong.

    When you argue with me, you argue with my opinion.

    Bringing 'citations' is conceding the point that your opinion is not enough on its own merit.

    Thanks

    Wrong.

    Dont conflate context with standards.

    When I'm using a Linux distribution I expect it to be working and to have been tested by average-to-above-average-competence developers.

    When you come to Slashdot and you decide to post and read comments, you are agreeing to a social contract that stipulates that your opinion will be challenged, and your stupidity highlighted.

    Wrong.

    Arch Linux and Gentoo are two of arguable worst Linux distributions out there.
