Interestingly, a long time ago (50s and prior) people did hire often along political lines, or at least let it heavily weigh on whether or not the person is hired; it was surprisingly often more divisive then than now.
WTF you, going to keep spamming this shit everywhere? I've been around for years too, yes it's irritating, but I'm tired of seeing your damn comment repeatedly, it isn't helping. If anything you're contributing to DDoS issues, shut the fuck up, please.
It's: EU warns tech giants to learn to do fucking magic. I imagine this will be just as effective as their cookie law, which doesn't actually ask if you want cookies, just reminds you they're there, i.e. they'll quickly realise it isn't feasible, sort of forget about it.
Though they'll remind people to follow the law because it's the law after all, go out of your way, though we won't punish you if you don't... but it's the law. Unless they think Facebook, Twitter, et al are going to manually check everything posted,... maybe they should send an invoice to the EU for all the hires.
Another question no one asks (from what I've seen anyway): OK so you get new skills, but AI growth is exponential, not linear, so how long until your new kick ass skills are replaced?
Surely all these people found tech jobs in the booming tech industry after the start of rise of automation? I mean that's what has always been promised: that tons of new jobs and doors will open up for the former secretaries, drivers, grave diggers, etc so long as they get retrained. So surely this is mistaken!
Just like with the "everyone should code" shit, instead why not teach young people (and even adults) about using proper skepticism with content, properly using security procedures that CS definitely doesn't teach you, and realising that if it's online everyone else in the world can see it (something evidently people still don't understand)?
Maybe then I can see one less post about how Facebook will be charging soon or friend requests from some other user is a superhacker, or The Onion *just may be true this time*, or "Oh, so if I put up dancing videos of myself perverts will indeed re-share them, but how is that possible?!" And so on.
They don't need to know how the shit works any more than they need to know how a car engine works, they need to learn how to compute safely and logically, just like they need to learn to drive properly.
And often politicians and so forth just prove their technology ignorance more by making this dumb ass leap. You aren't going to suddenly empower people other than to annoy actual experts around them because "hey, I took CS in high school, so *snort* I think I know a thing or two about how easy your job is*."
That's a terribly stupid example, do you know how shitty life outside the Matrix is? You get to leave a good dream world where you get to starve, hounded by robots that want to kill you, live in squalor, wear crappy clothes, probably get shitty healthcare if any at all,... but at least you get to instantly learn karate for the brief moments you're jacked in? Fuck that, put me back in, Cypher was the smartest god damn character in that entire franchise.
I weighed about 375lbs for years, then I just started essentially doing Atkins (a loose version of the plan, I didn't buy any of the expensive food, books, or anything), I stuck to <= 50 carbs a day and I've been roughly 190lbs (6ft tall, large frame) for nearly 10 years. My blood pressure, cholesterol, etc are all under control and have been. I briskly walk a few times a week with my wife but I essentially never exercise which is something I do need to change. I haven't put any weight back on, I don't count calories because I am not a rocket engine.
I basically just copied a friend of mine's father who did the same, he pointed out that people lose the weight then just go back to how they used to eat, gain it right back, and then bitch and moan the diet didn't work. This isn't just a comment mindlessly promoting low carb, I can imagine other diets may work in the same way if you are just consistent, but this keeps me much more full for longer.
Overall, the biggest things I think were simply bread and soda.
Are you a rocket or something? There's something clearly missing because I don't poop less if I exercise beyond the calories I consume, likewise I don't poop more if I exercise less. Calories in/Calories out is just 20th century bullshit, the human body was way more complex than that.
So use tons of oil to ship plastic -- made from tons of oil -- to be recycled so that you can pat yourself on the back for recycling plastic rather than throwing it away in order to keep carbon out the atmosphere, yet you're putting right back in via shipping the shit?
I can only imagine the reason for this fantastic waste of money and oil is something like: plastic recycling plants put out too much carbon dioxide so we pretend we're not doing it and thus following our treaties by making China do it instead and then bitch at other nations who have a larger carbon footprint?
I think you're on to something here! My main question is: why did the Jewish-zionist-wahhabist-entertainment lobby hell bent on making sure Jews look like the master race allow people of this master race become disgraced and thus incite hatred against them from human diapers such as yourself?
There's no reason to turn this into yet-another attempt to argue for marijuana legalisation or at the very least make that seem like the focus, because civil forfeiture happens even when there are zero drugs involved. Not only that they'll just say you're looking to buy cocaine instead, or then prescription medications, or then going to use it to buy illegal weapons. As a slightly related side note: taxes on recreational drugs won't ever fill the gap the wealthy leave open by leaving areas and the tax revenue dropping or simply paying less property taxes, etc. It's a combination of tax reform and getting rid of civil forfeiture.
So, what do you do if it's a hostage situation at a business that isn't an instantly recognisable address like the White House? How many total databases do you queue, a how long in a hostage situation where it's presumed people are already dead and more to die, do you get to queue these databases? You know it's not like CSI, this stuff isn't instantly available even to the police in some cases, in many there are channels you have to go through, paperwork to fill out, or even a case number provided beforehand.
You do realise most of the world is not like America and staying at home until you are married, or even afterwards is more common than the idea that when you're 18 they throw you on the street, and that self-worth is totally wrapped up in being pseudo-independent by being massively in debt before you're 30, right?
Just like the utterly stupid EU cookie law that's been enforced, I think one time in Spain, if people will follow a stupid, pointless law (even outside the EU!), they definitely will follow unjust ones. I can imagine Germany threatening non-German companies and people giving in or paying, giving the same moronic excuse they give for following the EU cookie law plastering their site with a pointless notification "well, better safe than sorry, hurrr!"
As a GenXer, I have to say many of us did try to change certain things, and most of it failed, and even then we did more than millennials. The difference is social networking and the echo chamber make millennials feel more active, but really they don't do jack shit except once every few years maybe protesting and then going back home to play arm chair social activist. I mean the mere fact others in this comment thread think that they need the baby boomers to die to change things shows that even if they vanished tomorrow, they probably wouldn't know what to change, or how to change it, just demand "change."
Pfft no way! That's playing god! No GMOs! No science! Don't you dare ever bring back something from extension even if it was humanity's fault! Let the next asteroid, super volcano, ice age, or the ultimate death of the sun be how all animals die! I refuse to allow anyone to commit dangerous and repelling acts of science against nature, even it means countless of species will die out that could otherwise be saved -- especially if they're fellow humans, they should especially suffer! My delusions of the purity of nature and masturbatory views of ecology matter more than any sort of "species," and maybe I have enough time to throw in some anti-technology rhetoric while responding to you on the Internet. After all, there are natural forests of granola trees and organic farming during the Middle Ages provided abundance for all!

Well, breasts sure make me think, why not computers?
I had not even thought of that, you got me, I retract my comment.

Plus also, let me pretend that wasn't a typo and I'm calling for the extinction of all extensions, end modular programming too!

[Insert pseudo-intellectual, possibly funny thing about how there's no god and/or religion is bad]
[Insert something anti-Islamic and possibly confuse Arabs and Pakistanis]
[Not realise Pakistan is not in the Middle East and post something potentially or obviously anti-Islamic]
[Argue whether or not the second and third options are the same thing]
... it'd probably be things like:
Damn it @Marty, you know the Jews are out to get me!
Shut the hell up @CheckersTheDog!
