There will be jobs nobody thought of, whole industries
What if they are slow to come? Do we let people stay unemployed for decades until they come? "Jobs" programs will come inevitably: wars and mass riots. WWII probably wouldn't have come about if not for the market crash of '29.
And if the 20th century taught anyone anything, it is that central planning doesn't work.
But that's yesteryear. No guarantees past trends are also future trends. Some things change quickly, some slowly, but things still change. Patterns that lasted 100 years may not last 1000.
There might be an angle of truth to this because the probes sent may have inadvertently seeded Mars with microbes that are beginning to transform it on a large scale. Look how invasive species gum up the balance of our life patterns on Earth.
Linux failed to catch on at the desktop because of too many distros creating confusion and lack of standardization, and not enough device support from vendors etc.
The most serious problem our economy faces is the mountain of private debt we have accumulated...
But countries with tighter regulations on debt are still facing the same middle-level job problems that debt-heavy countries have. While debt may be a contributor, it's probably not the main cause.
But that's not something we can control. We can't do anything about things we cannot control. I don't see how the existence of uncontrollable risks should affect our decisions about controllable risks.
it's just baldly stated with no supporting evidence anywhere. I am sorely tempted to call bullshit.
The opposite also shouldn't be taken on faith: that new technology creates at least as many jobs as it replaces (with roughly equivalent wages). There is no mathematical proof either way that I am aware of. We can only observe history, not the future, to verify any "principles of economics".
If the economy is humming at full capacity, then indeed it perhaps may find a way to employ everybody; but as we keep seeing, recessions and bubbles derail hot economies and gum up financial systems. Thus, relying on a fully-cranked economy(s) to do such is probably not realistic.
My conservative relative insists "the market will find a way if you simply get gov't out of the way". I ask for examples of types of new jobs replacing those being lost to offshoring and machines, and he/she just says, "I don't know, but the market will just find a way if you just let it. Entrepreneurs will appear out of the woodwork if barriers to entry are kept low enough."
Nor is he/she clear on what regulations to get rid of. We both agree some A.D.A. (Disability Act) regulations and endangered species regulations seem overkill, but tuning those alone won't significantly change the big picture.
His/her other gov't-trimming suggestions risk health and safety problems. I don't want the US to become a dump to compete with the 3rd world. Maybe more would have jobs, but more would also be sick or injured. It's closer to a Mad Max dystopia than an improvement.
If you just have blind faith that "the market will find a way" I guess there is not much to argue about. It seems part of his/her religion. I don't get the conservative "solution". Anybody else want to try explaining?
You could say the same for trigonometry. What's yet one more "sucky" subject that's supposed to be good for you like vegetables? You just my have to cut back on another subject to fit it in.
Columbus was an arrogant idiot who went against the common (and correct) knowledge of those days by underestimating the circumference of the Earth by a factor of four. Afterwards he was hailed as the discoverer of America and blabla
Actually, they stripped him of credit during his lifetime because he ticked off too many people with his poor governing of colonies.
There seems to be some confusion in the introduction and labeling between the 5th year of the probe, and 5 years of video. Here's a fuller compilation:

Yes, they'll make us all use Comcast. Explains the merger.

How will PC-BSD change those issues?

That's why they don't hire wookies.
On the up-side, the Galactic Darwin Award is a very shiny and attractive award.
But there is a small chance Hawking was wrong and that we will all die.
It was meant as a joke. Relax. And I don't see what OOP has to do with the subject.
Does the Navy actually need more "ships"?
Just breed whales and dolphins to make sub noises to fool sensors
Retiring subs will free up money for more horses and bayonets.

Maybe the weirdness of drugs and the sun would cancel each other out and it would look normal.
...a translucent flying car that's not compatible with Google and Microsoft gas pumps.

There does seem to be some overlap of coverage in the year numbers, though. Also, year 1 and 2 have bigger eruptions in my opinion.
Magnetic fields sure do freaky stuff to plasma, making it seem to run forward and reverse at the same time.
First Dupe!
I'm not a "troll", I'm an Agitation Engineer.
Time to blow up the HTML stack for CRUD programming and rethink browsers and fat clients. Desktop CRUD was much simpler. We devolved.
