Now that HR is back in power even in tech, a software career ends as soon as you can no longer convincingly paper over any work history gap with lies. The only time HR allows you to leave a job is to immediately take another job.
You probably already have a grey hair, Gramps, but for the next ten years you will still be able to get away with surreptitious dye rinses every few weeks. Save pension money now.
Yes, I can ask my iPhone to "Call home" or "Navigate to Joseph Blow" in full sunlight without having to squint at anything. Voice control is really worth it on mobiles because it gives me easy access to while sets of operations at once, as in "Set timer for three minutes" when I'm taking medication.
If you think if New Hirizons in digital camera terms, its strategy is to send all the JPGs first over a period of weeks (done). It is now sending the huge slow RAW images, which will take months.
Taxis COULD be good, if competition drove them to adopt the good points of Uber. But so long as inefficiency can hide behind a medallion system, they don't have to be.
Is that each user JOINS a ride sharing service. Every time a conventional cabbie picks up a fare, he rolls the dice: will this ride be the one that leaves his riddled, bloody body in an alley? Giving rides to people who have subscribed to your service is a huge security advantage.
Sure, we started these missions off a decade or more ago, and they're finally coming to fruition. But meanwhile we're struggling to get the next generation of kids vaccinated - basic technology that's two hundred years old. And we might dream of sending up the Webb Telescope, but now we can't even build a terrestrial instrument in Hawaii.

The good news is that there are no liberals in space.
"With human presence in space, I'll suppport almost any amount. With robot only? $0.00 dollars."
That's why exploration beyond the moon is going to be robots first (already underway) followed by private-sector humans when robots have brought down the costs and the way is prepared for them.
NASA is not "subsidizing" Space X by buying stuff from it any more than we are subsidizing Toyota when we buy cars. NASA buys launch services from a competing variety of companies, foreign and domestic.
"My god, what did these people do before the internet and computers?"
In the good old days they rotted away in group homes, vainly waiting for their children to visit. Because of the Internet, they can now be part of the big conversation, keeping up with the family on Facebook, reacting to the news online rather than yelling at the TV set while no one else is listening. And they're voting again.
I've never been fond of e-readers either, but because I read ebooks - the only kind I buy today - on an iPad. It's an e-reader, and it's also everything else you can use a tablet for.
I think the site designers are more at fault than the browser designers. Don't use tiny fonts driven by script, making them unenlargeable. Don't design your site so taht text starts overlapping ifna reasobanle degree of browser enlargement is being used.
No demographic has a bigger unmet need for assistance with tech than my fellow chrono-Americans. The new printer needs to be got working to AIrPrint from the iPad. The font in every app has to be made bigger. The grandchildren need to find you on Facebook. What a Roku does needs to be gone over carefully. A myriad online scams have to be explained for what they are. IT advice that is boilerplate for most computer users has to work completely differently for this group: for instance, the need to meticulously write every password down, because otherwise you will forget them. Just don't leave the list where the cleaning lady or your granddaughter's doper friends will find it.

Factories in the western world still exist, but as hipster lofts and malls.

Yes, by hurricane-resistant house nutters.
It's a good idea for hoi polloi to understand the hngeneering context of a set of pictures. Animations establish that.

"World": big spherical thing in space
"Planet": one classification for such a body.
This article is about a KBO and a moon.

You may be closest to the actual long-term scenario.
I liked you better when you were just ranting away about "space nutters."

Meanwhile in our world, Walter White was a fictional character while World War II really happened.
...That China will pick up in science, space and otherwise, where we left off.

So...what's it like working for Cigna?
No problem. Just tell HR to advertise for someone with ten years of Rust experience.
