"Hating your body enough to do something potentially dangerous" is a fun pejorative category for sweeping assumptions, but it's may be worth considering that it likely constitutes a majority of us when you factor the 50+ years or so of completely unhealthy diets/pills/fads/cleanses/supplements/etc.
The problem with cost externalities is that they're often difficult to properly monetize. Your state's wealth fund is great for catastrophic occurrences, but it probably isn't going to be of much use in addressing diffuse, combined, or longterm degradation (think increased asthma rates, downstream impact from runoff, or AGW [if you believe in it]).
Your pathetic SD card will be of no use to you at all when an EMP or solar storm takes out the electrical grid and does untold damage to magnetic storage! Meanwhile, my grandchildren will have no problem whatsoever listening to my vinyl collection on a hand-cranked turntable in their fallout-cave!
But in all seriousness, I stream what I like, buy (usually vinyl) what I love. Best of both worlds.
Maybe, but this particular variant has a heck of a lot of nice tangential benefits even on the wrong side (assuming all those lefty fascist NWO fantasy conspiracies don't pan out).
Efficiency good, strip mining bad, etc.

That's the mark of *anyone* who doesn't base a huge part of their identity on political theater.
Meanwhile, projection and making sweeping conclusions about those with whom they disagree, generally are not.
I've already written a fairly sophisticated AI to replace the vast majority of financial planners. The code is pasted below:
echo Probably just buy an index fund.
I have a tabletop laptop stand that I put my keyboard/mouse on when I want to stand. $30, and it even has a built in USB cooling fan if I want an invigorating breeze while I work.
My company offered some $2k rising robo-desk monstrosity, but I'd prefer to keep my $30 stand (and the remaining $1,970, obviously).
"...and I can't be bothered to Take it down."
The time you spent writing that was enough time to take it down.
Sweet bejeebus, I've spent too many years building tools for internal customers who invent problems that take longer to verbalize than they do to simply work around.
It's rather surprising that devs would rank AI as a bigger theat than a host of common factors that displace thousands of workers every day. It's akin to the folks out there who rank End Times as a bigger threat to them than heart disease.
I'm sure it does. That's what makes a vertically integrated monopoly look so much more attractive to the provider than anything resembling market competition.
To the consumer, on the other hand, not so much.
You don't run for president if you aren't self centered and you don't stay in national politics for long if you aren't willing to lie/change positions/etc.
That said, it sounds like you don't like the fact that she's a viable candidate for POTUS.
That's nice to hear that ardour is coming along still. I tried it...15 years ago? And it was super unstable on my setup no matter what I tried.
Regardless, I'm still surprised Reaper Audio isn't more popular. Costs $60, and does as much as Pro Tools, Cubase, etc in my experience. It ain't free, but it might as well be compared to the price of proprietary competitors.
Sounds like he might be able to make Tim Cook build it. I'd say he's got equal odds of accomplishing that and forcing low wage labor back onto US soil.
Given how rigid state and fed standards and curricula are becoming, yes, basically any fucking idiot who can speak publicly and wrangle a room full of kids can teach to the test.
Regardless, I find the "must have a B.S. to teach basic CS" somewhat silly in respect to the history of the field. Quite a few of the most important figures ever to code fail to meet this criteria. Hell, one of the best devs I know personally never bothered to get a B.S.
Yeah, confounding variables abound here...for starters, we can ask, 'what do dads who can comfortably take 2 moths off have in common?'
Answer: an extremely comfortable, secure lifestyle. Of course their kids will be better off.
I've no particular attachment to paper (I love my kindle!), but I can't stand being forced to read books on backlit screens, especially on a multipurpose device where there are a million other things to distract. I'm wrapping up grad work now about 10+ years after of my undergrad, and textbook companies have a wonderful little racket going, wherein they'll sell paper texts for ~$250 a pop, and sell protected digital variations (meaning they can't be printed or downloaded) for under half the cost of paper. There's really no choice there for cash-strapped students. It's borderline-impossible to sit at a PC and make it though 50 pages of Managerial Accounting or whatever without being distracted a dozen times along the way. "Three more pages down...gee, wonder if I got any email."
When people spend years, or decades learning the basic working of a tool, then it changes, of course they'll get upset. MS users were no more "indoctrinated" to look for a start button than you are "indoctrinated" to turn a screw clockwise when you want it to go in.

You jest, but a job with an expected four-year delay between rudimentary commands sounds *perfect* for Windows 10.

Can a thing be "obsolete" if there's no clear purpose for it in the first place?
I think you left the "i" out of "riot".

If he pulled off half of what he claims, he'd have a better batting average than just about any person ever elected to the office.

Aaron Rogers?
Ten percent? Yikes, I think you may be taking draconian in the other direction with that.

At best, rt are beholden to different masters; masters with motives that a *Russian* history student would be far more apt to perceive.
