Stop whining like a spoiled brat and get to work, no one owes you anything.
Stop stealing from me what I earn and I won't be complaining. Every $1 you borrow I will have to repay as taxes. So you could live the high life in retirement you haven't paid for.
The myth that old age entitlements paid for keeps coming back. Guess what, I am paying your old age benefits out of my pocket. Money you paid are long since spent by the government. Sure, it keeps pretending that it is on the books - but all of it is borrowed and spent.
It sounds like you're part of the Entitlement Generation (the proper name).
It sound like you are part of the Locust Generation. You clearly don't want to pick up a tab for all your wars, wasteful spending and failed "trickle down" and "globalization" politics, for failing to preserve social contract that was handed to you by Great Generation. I don't see any support whatsoever in your generation for reducing old-age entitlements to balance the books that your generation put into deep red - it is all "Keep government hands off my Medicare" and the likes. Your generation haven't met a war it didn't like, with especial affinity for middle eastern quagmires. Meanwhile you fail to recognize your blessings, where boomers actually had near-free education, sane housing costs, before-outsourcing abundance of jobs. When Trump talks about "Make America Great Again", he is talking to going back in time to before boomers like him *&*)ed it all up. Unfortunately, it is too late and isn't possible.
The only consolation I have is that I expect things to get worse much sooner than you all die off. So you will partake in all this misery you created in your 80s.
The proper ratio is free and adequate high school education that prepares for a non-specialized career. College is seen as mandatory for workforce only because school system fails to develop necessary skills.
Universities now perform function traditionally carried out by schools - educating and preparing kids for a generic workforce participation.
This view is unrealistic because it fails to account getting &*#@ed by boomers both with national debt, student debt, globalization suppressing wages, and lack of opportunities due to boomers working past retirement.
While I agree with your "nakedness shouldn't matter" sentiment, in the current moral and legal context having underage kids changing outfits in front of the internet-connected camera that automatically uploads images to the cloud is all kinds of problematic.
The hero the Internet of Things both deserves _and_ needs.
Yeah.. there's nothing like a vigilante of whom you approve.
Yes it is vigilante and we suppose to condemn such things. However, what the alternative? Internet Weather with DDoS storms routinely taking big chunks of it down? Markets completely failed to solve this problem, legislation isn't feasible considering international nature of this... so vigilante is least bad solution here.
Exactly. Just think of the following examples - investor making 3% profit on $1,000,000 and paying 10% tax on gains or investor making 300% profit on $1,000,000 and paying 95% tax on gains. Despite later scenario by far more profitable in absolute numbers, 95% tax is not socially acceptable solution in our culture.
History shows us that society destabilizes at around 20% unemployment. You will have massive unrest that unlikely will be containable via traditional policing. So we are not just heading toward dystopia, but Dystopia - pick between radical anti-science theocracies or anti-humanist megacorps.
At least one aspect is likely safe from AI automation - bitching about AI automation on Slashdot.
In all seriousness, if your job can be automated it will be automated. AI will be the new outsourcing in 2020s. Only it could work 24/7, needs no benefits, pension and can be scaled up by buying more cloud processing space. Creative and expert top 10% will still have jobs, the rest 90% of us will have to find other ways to earn living. Perhaps even with sustenance farming.
I would also point out that you are sending questionnaires to a population of people who suffered a stroke. This would make such data even less reliable than a typical not that reliable survey data.
This is a self-correcting problem. The next generation will be composed entirely of people averse to Facebook mixed with a tiny minority of people that are immune to direct dopamine stimulation. Since later group is likely have other serious cognitive issues reducing their fitness, within couple generations humanity will have complete immunity to social media.
Running script is easy-ish to detect and attribute. Much better is to have it periodically look for something unusual, but plausible, that only you would know to do. Like manual backup or some diagnostic test.
I reason it is easier to take selfie in front of the mirror, so unless your point that taking any selfie is narcissistic, mirrors have nothing to do with it.

I see you're having trouble merging with your wife tonight.
May I suggest you update your Viagra drivers to the next version?
The problem turned out to be a dangling pointer.
It is beyond me how could anyone think installing this in your home is a good idea. Plus, Jeff can afford to pay for his own pron.
As can be seen from the link in his comment section, the total of wasted space his tool found was 5MB.
This is well over 7500 punch cards, you insensitive clod. This would cover multiple foodball fields!

Please, everybody knows that vaccinations against diet sodas is part of Agenda 21.
Touch-activated sphincter rod sensor is much more secure and this is what they should go with for biometric authentication.
Your code is bugged. I hit segmentation fault at Step 2.

This is already possible if you bash your head on the keyboard sufficiently hard. Next problem?
Slashdot really has sunk to a low even I couldn't have predicted 20 years ago.
Speak for yourself, I very accurately predicted 20 years ago that /. would be where it is right now.

AmiMoJo, I am pleasantly surprised that you are not entirely zen-like.
