So where will the people with skills in fine coordination for sewing and similar tasks go when all those tasks get automated by robots?
Designing the clothes? How many different designs of t-shirts can you make that don't just look like a palette swap - something I'm sure can also be easily automated? Bonus points: The designs have to be something people will actually wear.
In the past, changes like these have pushed people to other industries - but now we are automating ALL THE INDUSTRIES. Then what?
But the more we automate, the more the remaining jobs - the ones that can't be automated for whatever reason - will require the absolute best of the best. NOT everyone are MENSA members in top physical and mental condition at all times, and there is no way they can be - yet that will be the requirement for the jobs that remain.
The other communities lose doubly so, because with gigabit speeds becoming 'the norm' in some places, websites and downloads and streams will become increasingly difficult to use on slower speeds.
By YOUR logic, all work should only be done by a single person ever to avoid hiring too many. I do trust it's harder for a nefarious player (eg., ISP lobby) to bribe a thousand people than to bribe one person.
And worse, two days later you have essentially no way of finding that video again to check a detail. How are you going to find that one video where the speaker mentioned some obscure sentence that ought to be really easy to Google for?
Does it clean up recording artifacts in the MP3s? Does it remove the sound of people cheering from live performances so you can hear the artist more clearly? Does it see an MP3 is a remix that's ten times worse than the original, so it plays the original instead?
I'm honestly curious in what way XMMS does music playing better than WinAMP.
In a year, once they have a LOT of data on their users, the ToS can change again to allow sharing all data they have with their partners, subsidiaries, bedfellows etc.
I mean, we just saw right now that the ToS can change how they handle data, didn't we?
I'm sorry, but to me, 'Discard changes' basically means, "I changed my mind, I don't want to save this structure within this program, but leave the linked files ALONE. Stop touching them right this instant!"
Imagine a birthday cake. You might make it with eggs, and sugar, and flour, a bit of oil and such. These ingredients all get BAKED IN and cannot be removed no matter how hard you try, you'll have to make a new cake from scratch to change their presence.
On top of the cake you put some candles. These candles are INCLUDED WITH the cake and can be removed at your leisure. Same with the frosting, you can scrape that off if you're careful, so it's included, not baked in..

Fine, make the new cable installs be defined by market share.
Comcast has to lay 50 miles of cable per year and have, let's assume 95% market share. The other providers can lay the last few inches.
Especially one that says to install 50 miles of it per year.
I mean come on, 550 miles over 11 years is NOTHING.
So what you're saying is you've set up an echo chamber?
I believe it was Henry Ford who once said that it made no sense to pay his workers so little they could never afford to buy one of his cars.
Good luck running a successful business in a world where only business OWNERS make money with which to buy stuff.

In five years the digger is automated and doesn't need breaks. Also it'll work 24/7.

And I wouldn't want to learn four-dimensional equations from a video with no text.
Isn't that the definition of what is written by a columnist?
Yeah, I don't get how he calls Warframe a grindfest (though it kinda is) and then loves Team Fortress 2 in the same breath.
I live in a small one-street rural village in Germany. All houses along the street are privately owned, meaning not a poor neighborhood by any means.
I can get 448/96 kbps ADSL at best. Complaining about only getting 1.5 mbps boggles my mind.
I take this to mean, "To have more Big Data to sell to get more monies."
Do I win the bingo?
How many deliberate rootkits have those three companies sold?
Or because Sonos 'required' an update of integration to get rid of all the leeches that won't give them data access.
Done better how?

Yeah, that's what the ToS says.
Now.

The healthy average is somewhere between Callista Flockhart and Honey Booboo.
Ever since getting a lawyer who will even pretend to care about the case started costing more per hour than the average citizen earns in a week.
Next question.
So now it's up to crowdfunding sites to decide who can and who cannot get good legal representation?
This isn't about supporting hate speech - it's about giving a guy a proper lawyer so the courts can do what they're supposed to do.
