I finished a network admin degree just as all the entry-level jobs were being sucked up by SaaS and a few IT firms that weren't hiring. At least the state scholarship paid for most of it, so I had no debt.
People will actually never say enough is enough. That's the sad truth of it. Humanity as a race has training from early age to follow authority, and no training how to recognize propaganda or how to deal with an authority trying to force you into something.

How can we be sure they won’t cut costs by increasing worker load? I could see them giving each reviewer less time to review individual pictures before passing it on to law enforcement.
I can demonstrate this or that, but I feel like the traditional resume does a really bad job at conveying competence anything not directly related to past professional experience.
OnlyFans had creators that weren't pornographic?
Nursing, yes. Pre-COVID it looked like it might have gotten saturated but since then demand has spiked.

Physical therapy seems to be doing well too.

The other one in my head was pharmacy, but I guess one needs a Pharm. D to continue on. Being a pharmacy tech also sucks, objectively.

CS, maybe. Engineering degrees from anything less than a large state school or tier one are probably better off trying to get into one for their masters. That's why I said "median" BS degree above.

Law is entirely saturated and dead.

Ironically, I see a lot of humanities students doing well post-graduation because they went in with low expectations. But society continues to dunk on them for basically no reason.
I agree with chapium, and my thanks to him for penning down his observations into words. I would add that there comes a point when these systems and their maintenance overwhelm my limited abilities (I know because I have tried org-mode, and OneNote). I often keep defaulting to pen/paper, but carrying around sheafs (now boxes) of papers is no fun.

And I agree with pc86's thoughts on 'decent organization system' and "always open". I am working on getting better at it with pen/paper.

What is unemployment among software devs? It's real real low.

As someone who hires devs, I could easily hire 2-3 devs right now. However I live in a tier3 city, and don't want to do the remote dev thing right now. If I post a remote job I get 5,000 candidates, if I post a local job I get 0-3.

As a new grad, I bet winning a remote job would be hard. But pick a city, any city. Always looking for devs. If still not landing jobs, its a matter of interview skills and non-school resume experience.

As parent was telling you, that's always been America.

Except historically, most jobs have been less safe.

You get crap jobs in your teens to have work history. You go to college to get a degree. You make friends at college, network, and maybe get an internship. You leverage all of the previous to get your first job. You leverage your first job and network to get your second job.

It's not easy. But it is how the world works. Why do you think so many people in white collar jobs have imposter syndrome?

>> less taxes (causing young folks to go heavily into debt for worthless degree credentials)

So let me understand this thought process? It is better for Taxpayers to pay for "worthless degree credentials"

The biggest problem in society as far as jobs are concerned is credential-ism itself. A standard public education should be good enough for a person to obtain a good middle class job, a K-12 education should be good enough for 50-60% of all jobs in the market

That fact that it is not, is a huge indictment of both the private sector demanding too much, and the public school system no providing proper standard of education.

K-12 SHOULD NOT be "college prep" like it is being treated today, and a person SHOULD NOT need a 4 year degree to do the most basic jobs in society, up to and including computer programming or other general IT work.

I think you have it in your mind that the government can solve all of these problems with higher taxes and more spending, when in reality government is almost exclusively to blame for the majority of the problems

More government will not solve it.
>That requires the 'forced' labor of police officers, prison guards, construction workers for the prisons, agricultural workers for the food, medical supplies manufacturers, medical staff members for prisons, electricians, plumbers, garbage, sanitation workers.

First, this is voluntary labor. The 'forced labor' is with the taxpayer that pays for this being done.

Second, a state enforcing rights is rather different from human rights. If the state doesn't enforce a human right then that doesn't mean it's not a human right anymore. You didn't forfeit your right to life just because Pol Pot came into power, did you?

The state enforcing a right is one way to resolve a conflict of somebody violating your rights, but it's not the only one. If somebody attacks you and intends to kill you, then you can defend yourself with deadly force. Society doesn't pursue you for violating the attacker's right to life. Society doesn't have to do any work in this case, but the violation was dealt with.

Also, the human right to free speech doesn't mean that anybody has to listen to you or to promote what you're saying. Nobody has to give you a platform. Now, you could have a separate right to free speech that's a right given by the state (a law) that forces a social media site to give you (anyone) a platform, but that would be separate from human rights.

If a human right requires somebody else's labor then you have an adequacy problem. At what point is the human right fulfilled? If the government treats only broken bones, then is the right being fulfilled? Do they have to give you that million dollar gene therapy? Is the government violating your human rights because it doesn't invest enough into healthcare research for future treatments?

"Following the Korean War, the Spatial Data Industry Promotion Act and the Promotion of Military Bases and Installations Act were put in place to bar the export of map data outside the country. This is presumably to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands, especially given the hostility from north of the DMZ. Inevitably, however, the national security measure also has the effect of limiting foreign companies’ presence in online mapping and navigation.

Google stores its maps on foreign servers and therefore has not been allowed access to South Korea’s map data. In 2016, South Korean officials offered to hand their country’s map data over to Google under the condition that the tech company reduce map resolutions for important landmarks like military outposts and government offices. Google turned down the offer. So, streets and buildings remain low-resolution online and on the app.

These restrictions apply to Apple Maps as well. Its mapping services are even more rudimentary."

I would agree with this. A large portion of tech people I work with are not CS grads. I myself have a math degree. You do need to show that you can program and know your stuff, but you can still do that with personal/side projects/etc. Once you get your first job, then you're good to go and most won't care about your degree. I think now it's more a challenge of getting junior level jobs across the board.
> nuclear power plants also produce a lot of heat, which can be used for district heating purposes

Is that the case though? To my knowledge nuclear reactor heat is only used to produce electricity and kill biodiversity in rivers so far.

Also, nuclear reactors are built far away from populous area for obvious security concerns. Are there adequate mechanisms for transporting heat over long distances? That's already a problem for electricity, which incurs huge losses (heat dissipation).
You don't have the right to live in someone else's home for free, and so no rights are conflicting.
And youtube. Creators constantly want to move away from youtube with it's content-id with incredibly slow appeals process that makes most types of fair use nearly impossible, it's demonetization that intransparently makes your videos unprofitable because you said the wrong word or made the wrong sound, the blatant favoritism when it comes to the "trending" page, etc.

But the viewers are on youtube, and network effects keep the viewers from switching. So there's just a graveyard of failed youtube alternatives.

Does the AZ vaccine not appeal either? It is made from a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) from chimpanzee which has then been modified to contain genetic material from the coronavirus itself. Thus exposing your immune system to the same viral genetic material it would see if you were infected by COVID naturally, albeit in a much weaker dose.
Maybe in the US? The UK market for tech is insanely hot. But perhaps it was previously underpriced.
I'm going to be a little dismissive of the question, but that's how the laws work in the united states. If someone was drunk that's a little different, but from the perspective of someone making a mistake on the road, and a family ends up dead - the person that made the mistake (assuming they prove that in court) does not end up with a murder charge. It may still end up being manslaughter and jail time.

Now to more specifically reply. So in the United States we may certainly have war on our doorstep at some point in the future. But our country tries to prevent that at ALL COSTS. We do so by making sure other countries are stable. We may fuck up by inserting into the wrong countries. but if ALL COUNTRIES just stabilize themselves we would NEVER have to go. And by the way, that's why the united nations was created. It would (or should) never allow the united states to insert themselves in a war that was not just. It may end up in an unjust position, but that's not where we started.

I've never understood the appeal of OnlyFans.

If your goal is to consume adult content, then you can get it in massive amounts for free, and without using an app.

I've seen a very good article on this: https://www.trek10.com/blog/dynamodb-single-table-relational.... It's an insightful dive into how KV stores can model relational data. However I also feel that these 'NoSQL can do relational modelling!' proponents are kind of hijacking the term: a relational model is understood to be based on relational algebra, and DynamoDB's Everything is One Big Table design ain't it.

NoSQL can model relational data, but it is not a relational model (as understood by E.F. Codd).

Also, NoSQL data access patterns are pretty much set in stone, which is kind of what the relational model explicitly avoids.
You're right. The first statement speaks to his reliance on others - continuing through his career - to develop the actual ground-breaking technologies that he was subsequently credited with. That annexation of credit is an awful trait that most of us have experienced, and none of us respect.

As to a leader-board of awfulness - we may be missing the point there. Sure, yes, lots of powerful people are awful, but one doesn't excuse the other.

I suspect for a lot of free software advocates, idealists if you will, it's hard (and more importantly, pointless) to try to measure who was the most awful person in terms of compromising people's freedoms.

> They are rights that all humans can and deserve to have, and should be un-infringed upon with regards to.

I guess in that case we have to assume we have very few actual rights. Being jailed for a crime is the removal of many of what people would consider fundamental rights (eg. the right to travel freely).
A smaller underpowered phone.

Human rights, sustainability... these are fundamental concepts that the UN articulates and promotes for our collective benefit. But they are just beacons: pointing towards a general humanistic direction that feels... right.

The strife starts as soon as one gets down to business. Any more detailed visions, implementation or policy specifics get quickly mired in the complexities, alternative options, inertia, vested interests, historical baggage etc of real life.

There is no easy escaping that predicament. The only algorithm that can beat that complexity and find paths towards the beacons we know we must reach are the parallel processed trial-and-error efforts of an informed society that is empowered and free to experiment.

The real "bug" is anything that impedes that inherent problem solving ability. Whether it is an overbearing state serving the few insiders rather than the many, out-of-control private interests (ditto), or any unholy combination thereof - which is the more usual case.

One thing is for sure: The shape of the internet is not a technical matter but goes directly to the heart of what kind of societies we have.

That article doesn't make sense to me, even (or especially) in 2017. It sounds like it's conflating IAP (which doesn't have to go through the Steam store, unlike other platforms) with game purchases, but even that doesn't fully account for it to me.

Where's all the rest of the money supposedly going through?
I use it on a daily basis. Without it a lot of websites are unusable for me. I just want to read the content, I do not wish to see the ads or interactive whatever. I want content. It is especially helpful, when websites manage to become unreadable without loading JS, because somehow they screwed up their CSS so badly, or it does not exist, without loading JS. Reader mode basically saves those websites from becoming instantly closed tabs.
I disagree with you about government as the solution. First, the government should cover, at no cost, two years of community college. Second, employers should be unable to mandate higher education that requires candidates to go into tens of thousands of dollars of debt if employers can't show that credential isn't materially required to perform a role's functions.
That’s definitely good advice for an established content creator who has an audience but it doesn’t solve the problem of reach. If I start a newsletter today I have no subscribers. How do I find them? If it’s an innocuous topic I’d probably start by sending my newsletter to friends and family and by posting links on social media. For the typical OF creator that isn’t really an option. Most links to pornographic content hosted on an unknown site are assumed to be spam or a scam.
I'm not sure how else you could interpret it.
So like 30-50k per person for the total cost of the war. Or 1.6k-3k per year. I guess that's doable but it's probably not a lot of money. Plus the power structures still want to take advantage of any situation, it's not like 3k is going to pacify a warlord in the country.

So nope let's go with teh hellfire.

Because after shit pay being the desk girl at Walmart Tire Center for 2yr you can easily convert that into a service writer job <fast forward 40yr> and then retire from your job as regional support manager for <company that makes industrial doodad>

Compare with thotting around on the internet where you can make a ton of money up front but you're basically racing the clock because your body won't be nearly as lucrative of an income at 30 and you'll be starting from square one-ish. Can you potentially take the cash and pivot into a career that will carry you to retirement? Sure, but it takes a work ethic and level of discipline that is uncommon.

It's like the female equivalent of being a marine rifleman for several enlistments. You get out at ~30 with few marketable skills, hopefully a good work ethic and a high liklihood of f-ed up knees.
For web developers, one thing to keep in mind with text to speech is that you can use the aria-hidden attribute to prevent things (like menus or ads) from being read.
