Even if you're correct, do you really want someone running the United States who is guilty of "Poor Judgement" on a basic security issue, then refusing to accept the advice of those more skilled in that field? That's your bar for excellence? Swift boat was stupid at the time, and I said so. Birth certificate, ditto. I actually view the email scandal as serious. PS: this post in no way advocates for a Trump Presidency.
But Amazon is just part of a larger movement. If you can't see that in,say, thirty years a majority of work done by people will be automated, you're not thinking clearly. He's correct in that this is a drastic paradigm shift. I see it as follows:
Horse to car: Guy making buggy whips retrains to make car stuff: 1 to 1 tradeoff, using retraining, net zero change Computer introduced: Guy doing paperwork retrains, maybe fifteen guys replaced by one guy, but fourteen more jobs opened in various fields by the computer: 14 jobs lost, 14 jobs gained, using retraining, net zero change Current: massive automation: jobs of 100 people now done by robots, all 100 lose jobs. Any task they may be retrained for can ALSO be done by a robot. 1 of them becomes a robot repairman. net -99 change even with retraining.
Unless society figures out how to deal with this, we'll have a lot of unemployed. And people with no jobs, no purpose, and lots of time are very bad.
Life is , inherently, unsafe. And the freer your society is, the more it will lean towards unsafe. Such is life. Why not ask "Can we live without oxygen?"
I didn't read his original post because, yeah, I'm lazy. But I do have a friend, who teaches music at a public school in London. They have to BEG the parents to let their children take music. Because music is against Islam, according to the parents. They also got invited to perform in the national cathedral because of the quality of the choir, NONE of the kids were allowed to go. Same reason. She wasn't complaining about this, it just sort of came out, she seems to view it as "just one of those teaching things", and if they don't cater to it the parents will put their kids in a mosque school that sucks.
I can remember playing this in college, my first experience with networking came from hooking four PCs up with coax cable snaking out 5th story windows to each consecutive room. It constantly crashed because one guy's network card was super cheap. I think it was ArcNet. I also remember, fondly, playing the game and walking behind one annoying classmate. Whenever monsters would appear, I'd shoot him in the back of the head, he'd die,and everyone would shout "Oh, they got you!'" He never figured it out.
Oh my God YES! Every job I've ever left has been because of managers: generally being asses, but occasionally because they kill the ability to move up on the company.
I've always enjoyed how people say he "got" Bin Ladin, like he was wearing a uniform and riding in that helicopter, as opposed to sitting in a room staring at a screen. And yes, the same would apply to a republican as well.
Everytime I hear the term "responsible" or possibly "common sense", i realize I'm going to hate the group pushing whatever follows it. It's like when someone says "but honestly", and knowing it's not.
I can't cite a book, but I can cite a coworker who told me, when I lived in Japan, that their parents told them that they were trained as children to use bamboo spears to repel any attackers if they should come. This was, BTW, in Hiroshima City.

About saying country A has a higher IQ than country B.
And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead

Uh...breast cancer?
Oddly enough, neither are guns.
I've lived in the US. I've spent a LOT of time in Australia. Compared to the US, Australia is Homogeneous.

So there's some truth to it.

"there's no indication, as of yet, that it will cease publication"
Not a lot of ransomware making it's way onto 8 inch floppies, I think.
The moment I hear the term "fair share", I know the argument is false.
You're taxed on the buck. If your business expenses plus taxes can't support you, then you're unsuccessful.
Wait: In your world the only options are "Progressive" and "Regressive"? That's like saying the only political options are Conservative and Communist.
A whole 1. 5 months. Why, we're on the verge of revolutionizing education as we know it!
You sound like my unemployed nephew, bitching about the "overlords" while asking my mother for cash to buy cigarettes.

That wasn't email, that was over the cubicle wall.
What about a 1000? 100000? a million? a billion? There's a balance in there somewhere...

I played that game the other day.

I'd suggest asking them to keep him, but it's such a beautiful city and I'd feel guilty doing that to them.
