After invention of the stirrup and prior to firearms warfare was strongly slanted in favor small armies of well armed professionals. That didn't bode well for mass uprisings.
The productivity increased enough, but somehow as a society we decided that we'd prefer a small class of fabulously wealthy people while things slowly declined for everyone else instead.
Bigotry is not a 'dissenting political opinion' and you're a fool for even suggesting such.
Of course it is. Politics is merely how we all get together to decide to run things without using violence, if there is violence involved we call it other things like terrorism or warfare. The statement "Gingers have no souls and thus should not get full citizenship" is both bigoted and a dissenting political opinion. (not to mention stupid, but it illustrates my point) I support the right of the anti-Ginger movement to disseminate their opinions even if I find them distasteful.
Any mission where this would make sense, it seems that a Hummv would fill the same role. If you want something for patrols or other missions that require silence then it's going to have to be battery operated and I doubt the storage density is high enough to make that work yet.
Time spent on operations work takes away from time spent on the money making product. One of them is going to end up getting de-prioritized with poor results. Since money comes first, this is usually going to be operations work. It'll look great for a while until the technical debt builds up too large then you'll have a series of horrible failures (security, infrastructure, etc.). To think otherwise assumes that organizations never have conflicting priorities or politics of any kind, which I can assure you is not true. Now, does there need to hard silo separation, of course not, and some of the trend in DevOps is about breaking down or spanning that divide, but to suggest that a large organization can get by with just one team that does both is ridiculous. If you're big enough to have more than one manager in the IT Department then you're too big for the one team approach.
If you're managing the operations side of things and doing primary development for your money making product you're either A) Really small or B) Doing it wrong.
What you're describing is how to increase the productivity of your operations staff, not how to eliminate them. Sure, a good setup may reduce your staffing needs considerably, but that doesn't eliminate the function.
1) Call them something else, they're still operations but now they have a fancy new name
2) Actually get rid of them, at which point you find out that the people you pushed the responsibility to have other things to do with their time and then it goes badly
Now, automation can reduce the total number of operations folks you need by making the existing ones more productive and of course more expensive, but total elimination is impossible prior to strong AI.
So the outcome could in fact be much WORSE than the current IPCC projections?
Oh definitely. In a worse case scenario we get huge methane clathrate releases that result in MASSIVE temperature increases, possibly large enough for a global extinction event. It's a low probability scenario, but certainly scary.
We need a new social model that will for us, not just for the rentiers and 1%ers.
Demonstrate one that doesn't rely on unicorns and universal goodwill and you'll be a hero to seven billion people. In the meantime we muddle along with the system we've got.
We can't grow eternally. It's not physically possible or socially desirable.
A falsehood and a subjective value judgement. Nothing to see here, move along.
is writing a script in Bash Dev or Ops ? How about tuning an Apache server to optimize your app ?
Those are both Ops definitely. Writing a system that automatically tunes several hundred Apache servers over time as things evolve, that would be DevOps.

Which is all well and good, however lawyers should be strictly forbidden from ever serving in public office due to conflict of interest.

Also a fairly accurate assessment of what caused the fall of Rome, though you'd have to substitute the word Latifundia in place of Corporation.
I'm sorry, but that's option 3, you're supposed to vent drive plasma first.
Well, they do have a fiduciary duty to shareholders, which is pretty close to the same thing.

I support others people's right to say things that I despise, that is what free speech is all about.

The problem with libertarian concept of big government power is bad, is not that it's wrong, but that it's merely one example of a larger principle.
You're going the fancy labels route. You've merely rediscovered that hiring a few good sysadmins beats hiring a bunch of low end ones, good for you.

Because all evilz come from teh guvmint, eh?
Of course not, there are plenty of other large, dangerous concentrations of power.
my goal is to eliminate operations personnel
There are two ways to accomplish this:
1) Call them something else, they're still operations but now they have a fancy new name
2) Actually get rid of them, at which point you find out that the people you pushed the responsibility to have other things to do with their time and then it goes badly
Now, automation can reduce the total number of operations folks you need by making the existing ones more productive and of course more expensive, but total elimination is impossible prior to strong AI.
It was well written and subtle, with good character development and pacing.
Wait, what? There were some good things about the film, but the writing and character development certainly weren't among them.
There are tons of actual use cases if they can get it working well enough. Here are two obvious ones: Virtual Home Tours, Tank Drivers.
Public shame actually has some value so I wouldn't call it completely worthless.

Are the regulators that corrupt?
Absolutely. I expect this to sail through unless it rustles the jimmies of some other large corporation.
10% of the total staff will face the axe as well..
That's why they call it synergy.
Now index it for cost of living and include automatic inflation adjustments and we've got something to talk about.
