2) This lack of jobs will result in not enough supply.
I don't see any mention of lack of supply in his post. Simply that there will be an increasing number of people that can't afford stuff, because they have no work, and they aren't getting much welfare.
(cuz min wage doesn't pay enough to not need government assistance).
Which is scandalous. It should be raised to the level where a full time minimum wage job doesn't ordinarily require top ups from the government.
Sure gas cars catch on fires after crashes, but how many of those catch on fire after running over road debris without crashing?
Irrelevant. Accident data per unit distance is what needs comparing. Accidents, fires, injuries, fatalities.
If Tesla's do catch on fire more easily from road debris, it doesn't follow that they catch on fire more often than ICE cars, nor that the fires are as dangerous.
Hmm... That'll work until the technology changes from Flash to something else. Perhaps it's time there was a generic term for persistent storage used to store files that isn't specific to the medium it's stored on.
Maybe there already is one that's not coming to mind...
You don't even have to root it. Just put the cyanogenmod image on your flash disk, use Odin to install the appropriate recovery image, boot to that recovery image and install the CM image. It's a bit of a convoluted process if you allow the original image to boot before you boot to the recovery -- it'll reinstall the stock recovery without so much as asking. But if you just follow the steps I outlined, you'll end up with CM on your phone, the CM recovery and never having to root the thing.
I'll let my mother know. Alternatively she could go for an iPhone.
A sticker, of the kind with non-easily-removable glue, with a message to the effect of why the item has been vandalised, would be better. Makes an explicit point and would be easier to apply surreptitiously.
You must consume a lot of spit (among other things) in your restaurant food with that sort of attitude.
Huh? Restaurants also tend to ask what you want rather than assume. And waiters DO tend to know their place.
It's not a class thing. It's a customer / employee of vendor thing. The employee of the company that wants the customer's money shows deference to the customer.
The idiot is the person who believes in slippery slope arguments, not the person who correctly calls them out as a fallacious argument. The former is an illogical thinker. The latter a logical one.
"nefariousness" has no part of why "the slippery slope" is a fallacious argument. Neither does calling something a "fool's errand" (your opinion) make a slippery slope argument any less fallacious.
What you are describing would be a downhill slope, not a slippery slope. The term "slippery" is used to imply inevitability of movement, without ever explaining why the current, pre initial move position is the only stable one.
Hint: The "slippery" adjective is the thing that makes it a logical fallacy. That's the claim that once a move is made in a certain direction, then it's inevitable that it will continue in that direction. In fact very few "slopes" against which moves can be made are slippery. And those which are don't generally have a safe spot at one end upon which we currently stand.
That's what makes you think "the time to stop sliding down a slippery slope is before you first slip". And it's moronic. It's a fundamental lack of understanding of why this is a logical fallacy.
That's not to say that slippery slopes with stable states at one end or the other don't ever exist. But no one ever goes on to demonstrate why this particular dimension is one. They just declare it s slippery slope because they are against the current move.
This is certainly how it works with Casinos. Display enough skill to win against the house, and you don't just get thrown out of the casino, you get a ban in casinos around the world, across multiple chains, based on facial biometrics.
A niche problem in casinos. A major civil liberties issue if applied to supermarkets and malls.
Whilst that's inconvenient and offensive for people that are wearing hoodies just to keep warm, that's actually a good thing for anyone that want's to wear a mask to make a point about privacy. When protesting, you want the other side to object. That's when it makes the news and puts the pressure on for change.
I agree with you that the cross financing with a network contract means phones generally are replaced far before they should be. But there's nothing Apple specific about that.
You know, Apple users get a reputation for buying every new device that comes out with. Especially here. But that's because because there's a lot of Apple hatred here. In truth, last time I saw an article on this question, Apple users got more years out of their computers than PC users. AND their resale value is much higher, illustrating a greater demand from people to use them second hand.
And the Macbook Pros haven't changed as far as memory is concerned. Mine is a 2012 model. (My previous a 2007 model. Used until I destroyed it with an upturned soda.) Memory is accessible simply by removing 10 small phillips screws. Memory is in standard DIMM slots. Apple has no philosophical or business argument against upgrading them.
Macbook Airs, iPads and iPhones aren't memory upgradable, But that's because they are designed to be as thin and light as possible. That's the reason the memory is soldered to the main board. The same reason the battery is non-user-replacable.
You use a car analogy, but you know that cars show the same trend. It used to be you opened the hood, and there were all the parts easily accessible, and the smaller ones user replaceable. You could easily do your own servicing at home. Nowadays, you open the hood, and you are faced with some anonymous block, with nothing much recognisable even visible. To service the thing, you need a computer connected to the engine management system and a gas-analysis probe in the exhaust. Few people can do their own servicing any more. But the advantage is that the new cars have far more performance and reliability than the old user serviceable ones.
And as far as I know electric cars don't have user serviceable batteries. They are typically (always?) designed for a garage to do the battery replacement.
No doubt, if you are determined to do electric car battery replacement at home you COULD. Just as you COULD get suitably equipped to service a modern ICE car at home. But compared with either, replacing a battery on a phone with a non-user-sericable battery is easy!
Sure I've seen the iFixit teardowns. They are what people normally follow if they choose to open a mobile device at home.
You'll have to link me to the particular mention of "very risky" before I can comment on it.
What I can say generally is that iFixit are doing the hard part. Dismantling without instructions. Those that follow benefit from iFixit's pathfinding.
And of course, the "normal user" that doesn't want to do it themselves can go to the many companies that will do it for them. Which also means that any risk is carried by them. They break it - they have to replace it.

Or for Hollywood fans, the better question is: when will drones get the power to shoot under-performing workers.

what about a basic income CEO / EX pay caps / taxes and a OT limes can all help in that.
Say what?

The same system they are going to use in Milton Keynes is already on use at Heathrow airport ferrying passengers between terminals.
Sounds to me like the people having cycle accidents on redways are people that are cycling too fast for the conditions.
Just like with cars, a percentage of people seem oblivious to the way more speed adds more risk.

Root it and put CyanogenMod on it.
Amazing that people would buy a device with software so bad the first recommended action is wiping it and installing an alternative.
Didn't we have enough of this with Windows PCs?
Android, the Windows of the mobile world.
And who allowed the carriers to install this crapware? There's no carrier installed crapware on iPhones.

Denim with patches on, you offer them some glue or solvents and tell them that the fucking 80s is over.
In a generally decent rant about profiling, it's a shame you succumbed to some profiling of your own.

"middle aged white male". All they are trying to do is classify the face not identify it.
Then that has significant race and age discrimination issues. I'm pretty sure that would lay them open to all sorts of ways of being sued.

Compilation time is pretty irrelevant for me and I daresay most users.
Compilers are selected by developers, not users.
