We can't even create a world that offers financial stability to the younger generation, and you want to demand personal responsibility for maintaining a good diet, an active lifestyle, and practicing safe sex 100% of the time?
I'm not demanding nor am I suggestion everyone lives and dies by my beliefs. I am suggesting it would be beneficial to the people partaking in said activities.
Automation is going to destroy many of those jobs that young people rely on for employment, and remove their ability to climb the proverbial ladder and seek out educated positions.
Automation has been destroying jobs since the industrial revolution its just that the machines have become better. Very much like how some jobs become obsolete there will be need for other things. Something tells me that robotics engineers will become the new "mechanic" and so on.
Just become some things are changing does not mean everything else is static. If you look at data from decades ago we are supposed to be suffering a worldwide food shortage. You see the factored rate of human growth did not match the current agricultural production so you pick a point in time, assume all things remain static and draw lines on a graph -disaster! in 40 years no one will have anything to eat!
Future generations always pay, one way or another. Earth has no thoughts/emotions/reaspon to exist...and what if people will be consumers? maybe they'll play my favourite multiplayer game and we can all join in VR gaming together.:-)
I do apologise this is far more optimistic than your doom and glood thoughts on the matter of having more humans around.
More data needed. Time to crowdfund a study on the subject?
You speak as if we actually need more humans on this rock.
We don't need, in an existential sense, most of them but then we have an issue of never ending reducibility.
You see, we can easily say that one in a billion humans is a waste of space. We can say that with ease about a single human in a million. Perhaps even one out of a thousand. We can carry along this line until we have to wonder who's left? -who the fuck cares about all the stuff that some scientists or "useful" people care about.
We might end up with one very efficient autistic human that is entirely self-sufficient and he won;t reproduce because the human condition is deterimental to the planet -by his or her own observation. More humans might be exactly what we need just as long as they do not infringe on the lives of others.
Sure you may think we need some humans just to reproduce but we might soon be able to clone ourselves en mass.
But back to what I meant...we do not necessarily need people to reproduce more but it would be benficial if they do a better job at it. Ergo be more responsbile, provide a better framework for their child and not fuck off when raising a family gets hard. There is a tendency for older people to be more reliable in this manner. Sure they might be as bad as any teen parents and any given teen couple might be great parents...but on average older parents are better at providing the necessaries for the basis of a family.
If men and women take better care of themselves at least in the first 30-40 years of their lives then they might have all that time for study and work to create that stable financial base without having to factor in serious fertility issues later.
Also, as an aside, we need to have loads more young people so they can work and pay off the wasteful ways of the previous few generations. Just a thought.
Tarring and feathering would indeed be good -- especially that Lennart as usual insta-closes an obvious and nasty security bug[1] as "non-bug". And when presented with standards documents, he says they don't apply to him [github.com]. Seriously, can someone buy this guy an "Unix for dummies" book?
While we don't exactly suffer from a dearth of kooks, this particular kook enjoys having his employer promote his masterpieces even when totally inadequate. The world would be so much better without systemd, PulseAudio and avahi.
Today the CEO of Kaspersky Lab said he's willing to show the company's source code to the U.S. government, testify before Congress, and even move part of his research work to the U.S. to dispel suspicious about his company. The Associated Press reports:
From real life to gaming VR I've never heard of anyone being able to dispel suspicious.
Once upon a time a European country making a fuss about anything was yawn worthy for a large, multinational corporation.
Here's a $2.7 billion fine - that time of regulatory commissions having no teeth is over.
I know I know...when the UK leaves the EU it can have it's fat politicians bribed for peanuts in comparison and bent over by such a large company also because it will be desperate for tax revenue...but for now let's enjoy the regulatory muscle provided by "unelected officials".
Your sarcasm is amusing...but the take away on the sperm front would probably be that you can should keep it as healthy as you can.
We know that activities like smoking damages the quantity and quality of sperm. We also know that eating healthily and being physically active have wide ranging benefits including having a positive effect on sperm.
My take away is that men should take care of themselves so their sperm is still very good quality at 35 and at the same time they have the financial, emotional and intellectual basis to become not only caring and loving but also effective fathers.
Also, the likelihood of autism, schizophrenia and down syndrome in babies of older healthy parents is greatly over played. If memory serves a couple aged forty are three times as likely to have a child with down syndrome! - sounds like a huge risk...until you see figures like 1 in 350 is your base chance and that goes to 1 in 100 at 40. (Source: http://www.mayoclinic.org/dise... )
So if you are a young man or woman and you drink or you smoke, or you don't sleep, or you eat junk all the time, you dont exercise or even dabble in drugs - think about it.
It never ceases to amaze me how a young guy can spend hours fixing and polishing his car or a young woman puts in so much effort into her looks and dress but their body?! it suffers abuses to no end. Your body is your only vehicle, treat it well and it will carry you.
How about everyone's plan?? -with the exception of certain figures in Hollywood...
FFS why are we held hostage to middlemen, distribution "media companies" and the like. If I want to pay a premium for watching movies in the comfort of my home why is this not provided?
This eventual culmination was a foregone conclusion. Just some greedy fuckers gasping their last breath to stay in the loop before we bump them out of the chain.
...and another thing it's ABOUT FUCKING TIME THIS HAPPENS.
When I go to GAP and I buy a shirt I can return it next day, full refund no hassle.
When I go to the cinema and sit through a movie that sucked I cannot get a refund without jumping through multiple magic hoops.
Listen to this; during a Spiderman 3 premier the film, towards the end started going dark randomly. First 3-5 seconds then 10 and then 60 seconds at a time. Apparently the projector was running back to back all day and was overheating. they had to stop the screening.
How can I get a refund? Show my ticket, the card purchase, fill out a card then and wait for a manager (if he's in) to approve the refund which will be sent to the card used in 28 fucking days. (On that night there was a queue of 300 people to get these cards.)
If I knew I could watch something and if I hated it return it for a full refund I'd not need to give a shit about "risking it" without trailers.
This BTW also works in McD's or any number of other establishments in which the product is "spoiled" after initial use. Although I stopped going many years ago I'm not afraid to try anything in McDs because if I don't like it I get a refund, no questions asked. No BS layer to wade through.
All that was reason number 1 as for reason number 2; films need to advertise themselves. In the old days there was 1 new film in a month, or 6 or a year depending on how far back you go. No there is some blockbuster every week or two...sometimes several in the same week.
So when you have to choose which burger to buy because there's many they have to advertise...and attentions spans have not decreased but people are more capable of absorbing content and cliches faster so the trailers are faster, heck film is faster!
If trailers are ruining films then why are they so successful at pushing film sales up?
Massive budgets are not an indication of quality, a bewildering array of stars is no indication either, no director and or producer can gives you a hint but ultimately films are often hit or miss. A trailer gives us buy-in, at least you get to believe you know the is of quality X
Hollywood has not changed it's winning formulas for years because they make money. If it works why change it?
...when you help foster critical thinking and mature attitudes in teens you won't need to care what specific greedy corporation or social spying network came up with.
It's up to parents to counteract this crap. Women have consumed "fashion" magazines for decades and it has mostly caused them to doubt their own worth, looks etc. Men think they are immune but these days they are sculpting their eyebrows and trying to get a sixpack.
Why? because advertisers know that a chimp without a stick and a can wants to be like that "successful" chimp with a stick and a can. Some ads sell success but others are more nefarious, they sell fear. "If you have blood when you brush you might have gum disease" *cue woman with missing teeth*
Most adults end up buying shit they don't need because they cannot ignore ads. So teens and younger children are obviously less equipped to deal with any of it.
Parents have to campaign against all ads targeting very young children and guidelines for ads targeting teens and young adults. This of course is the long hard route...easier is to cut crap out of your kids life and help them deal with the crap that's there.
The last thing you want is your little girl secretly throwing up all her meals because of some fucking air brushed magazine bullshit and "thinspiration" sites or your boy getting roids cause he thinks a six pack is his life's mission. -or worse, finding out they have developed a serious drug habit...except how will you know if you do not get involved actively and find out everything your kid is up to? Trust them but verify.
What is the compelling business case that BTC, ETH, LTC, NMC or PPC cannot address perhaps with an update?
I get that everyone wants to invent a new cryptocurrency and own ten millions coins when they are worth $0.0001 until they make them a multimillionair...but really, what's in it for the rest of us?
What? have you not noticed the new trend? Once upon a time it was about getting fast food, to shovel the food into your mouth as quickly as possible. None of that waiting time stuff. Now it's moving towards having food ready for intravenous consumption.
Chewing? That's so old fashioned. Why get vitamins and minerals from fruit, veg and meat when you can buy pills and drink nutritional slurries?
In fact, if the food came pre-digested so people don't have to waste time with all that eating and digesting would make everyone happy.
I read about this all-in-one food that is "easy to digest" and you do not need anything else. It's a powder and the "prep time" is adding water. That's it. Nothing else needed. Doesn't that sound awesome??
Only $8 a day + $60/m for the subscription and + $20 for the 'better you' manual? bargain! -My life is going to be so much better, I'm going to be so much healthier!
I think you got one thing wrong. The "cool new ecosystem" was not ruined by 'parasitoids' it was ruined by a lack of accountability.
Look at the Skully-AR1 funding on Kickstarter. This was a product with genuine potential, had working prototypes etc.
It's not that the founders were running out of ideas or their project was jeoperdised by scope creep or the like. They were blatantly using the money they got from backer for buying cars, last minute flight tickets to vegas, hotels, strip clubs and when the product did not arrive and there were delays they eventually filed for bankruptcy and made excuses.
Look at the shit they bought on campaign backers' money:
Rent for the brothers' personal apartments in the Marina
Security deposits for an apartment in Dogpatch used by the Wellers
Weekly apartment cleanings
Personal grocery bills for the Wellers
All restaurant meals for the brothers
Mitchell Weller's Dodge Viper, which was claimed for insurance following an accident, as well as the new Viper purchased by the company to replace it
On the back of that, at the time, I pulled out of a major indiegogo funding campaign because I no longer had faith in the model. When I signed up to to it it had a large "back out at any time" message on the page. After considering the matter of Skully I decided to back out and was confused as to how this is done from my backers page. I read the FAQ and it simply said that I go to my backers page and hit the "Refund order" button. So simple except THERE WAS NO REFUND button.
I asked and I was told that SOMETIMES there is no refund button and that funds have gone to the campaign owner. So I cannot get a refund from Indieggo because they do not have the money. I emailed the campaign owner and got no response for two months. As I had no other information to go on I researched the campaign, backer and related company and sent them letters threatening to sue as they are subject to EU law (Luckily because US law is really shit on these sort of things). After some haggling I got my funds -12% for various fees, 2% were to Indiegogo...and you know what I was lucky to get anything at all.
Simply do not believe ANYTHING a campaign page says. It might very well say "hassle free refund." but really should say "limited refund options occassionally available, terms and conditions apply. If you believed this was honest and bought based on that assumption you're a sucker hahahaha"
Now ask Skully-AR1 backers if they got anything yet? Helemt? Refund? An apology? - There is ZERO accountability.
We MUST convince Indiegogo and Kickstarter - basically crowd funding in general to do more.
Firstly I would like FULL DISCLOSURE expense reports of backers money. There is NO excuse not to let backers of your porject know how you spent their money.
Secondly I want the crowd funding site to review sufficiently large projects, say over $1 million with a third party registered accountant to check this is not all BS.
Lastly, for blatant misuse of funds amounting to fraud I would like for Kickstarter/Indiegogo to sue these people to the ends of the Earth on backers behalf. I will pay good money, more than my original investment to make sure fraudsters are dealt with as harshly as possible.
Without any safety checks and so on I tell you now I will never ever back any product that has not been released and review or a has a money back guarantee I can trust.
If police will pay 10% of the fine to other motorists that can provide clear recoded evidence then we'll have free policing in everyone's common interest.
You can submit recoded evidence of a serious crime already. Why not driving while using a mobile phone?
The question is of course not how whining, sorry for themselves tech workers see it but rather how US employers see it.
If you can lower your labour costs wouldnt you? where is the financial benefit to paying more for a US tech worker? -comapnies do not care where the worker is from, only about the cost of the output that worker has. If the output is acceptable then they'll pay for it as little as they can get away with.
Forcing employers to hire US workers will just mean that only those that absolutely must put up with it, will. The rest will outsource, automate or move etc.
No! instead, let's create a protectionist agenda to artificially keep salaries for US workers high because everyone is paying too much for rent in city centers.../facepalm

Fuck facebook.
Have we factored in lifestyle into this as well?
Something tells me that men that do not smoke, don't indulge in alcohol often or at all and keep fit will have better results...(seems obvious right?)
The men I know at those later ages seem to have given up on a healthy lifestyle at least in terms of fitness. Also family stress factors in.
