I wouldn't be surprised if that's the direction humanity takes in the end (barring significant intelligence enhancements). The door is always open to work at bettering yourself and humanity, but if you don't want to right now that's fine too because the cost to keep you alive and happy will become so minuscule and because of the various moral arguments.

I've been telling people "Even if the holodeck gets invented and its fantasy worlds are more psychologically pleasing than this one, I still want to get off this rock for real." I may be underestimating the powers of wireheading but if it's not forced on everyone I think a lot of people will keep it to a relative minimum like entertainment is already.

My take on the modern job problem is that it's about reaching the point of super cheap happy-human care which might include a possible 90%+ unemployment rate, while avoiding or making as quick as possible the messy middle-area we've entered where unemployment is rising and there aren't enough people capable/willing to support the unproductive masses.

Many of the profits were earned overseas, and are being left there. If they bring the profits home to the US, they will be taxed. Essentially, the US is levying a tax on (certain) foreign investment, specifically investment by Google Ireland in Google USA.

Additionally, most of the private sector is deleveraging and building up cash reserves to use in lieu of debt financing.
That page suggests you can only complain if you've been personally affected.

Although I've been on O2 in the past, I don't have any evidence that the problem occurred during that time. I'm on Orange now, which appears to be unaffected.

It's a pain, because I'd been thinking about switching back to O2 to get Visual Voicemail, which no other UK provider appears to be able to support.

As far as I understood the product page and Werner Vogels' blog post[1] it does not run on file level, but on filesystem level. So you won't be able to access single files from within S3, but rather have whole disk images stored in Amazon S3, ready to be restored back to your local datacenter or to be mounted on EC2 servers.

When using Skype messaging to a mobile number, you can enter your real mobile number as the 'from' address (In Skype settings). To do this Skype first sends you a confirmation message to the number you want to send from. I'm going to assume the confirmation message is Skype being curious, and that the same technology could be used without confirmation. Or is this an agreement with the mobile operators?

OK, I think I might have worded things a bit awkward there. Actually I agree with you completely in that technology is not moving fast enough. Having a speech enabled android tablet/phone could actually compete with siri and would be very, very cool.

The point that I disagree on is that Mark Shuttleworth & CO are releasing software every 6 months that in many cases (myself included) breaks comparability with hardware. This among other problems has IMO caused Ubuntu to fall to #2 on distrowatch, while Linux Mint which includes MATE and a much more customizable gnome 3 has risen to the top. If they can really make it against apple then more power to ‘em.

(yes I know Ubuntu does not include gnome 3 by default but both gnome 3 and unity depart from the traditional win95 style desktop)
The bank would be lending it out though.

yeah, my last laptop was a dell inspiron 14" with a 1400x900 resolution. my current one is a dell inspiron 15" that does 1366x768 :( i could simply not get a 900 vertical resolution without paying an exorbitant price. (for my next laptop i probably will pay the price and get a decent vertical resolution)
The same thing could be acheived using a one-way hashed version of the mobile number, which removes the personal information and still allows the carrier to identify the handset customer.

There's no good reason to include the actual mobile number in the headers, internal or not.

> Google is only doing what it must to compete in the social search market.

But, is there really such a market? I remember reading a blog post from a FB employee (don't have the link at hand) saying that Google over-dramatized FB's willingness to go into search, be it "social search" or whatever. What brings people to FB, and more to the point, what makes them spending hours (literally) each day on that site is not their search feature (which I'd say is not that good) but the fact that everyone and everything has a profile or a page or something (yes, maybe even the stray-dog from around my building's corner that a lot of my neighbors feed regularly - try creating a page for him on Google+).

The author's sudden and poorly supported conclusion doesn't really fit. Because people with bachelor's degrees have the least unemployment, it is imperative we pass a GI Bill to ensure everyone gets a bachelor's degree?!

He's getting the causality wrong. It's not because they have bachelor's degrees that they're getting jobs. They're getting jobs because they're (minimally) bright and (minimally) ambitious.

Printing 100 million bachelor's diplomas "solves" the unemployment problem in much the same way that printing 100 trillion dollars solves our financial problems: not at all.
Agreed.

I also use DDG in the same way you mention, though only going to google for the rare image I can't find anywhere else (which is about once a month).

I don't know why you got downvoted (and your reply was certainly within the guidelines), but your answer left me with some questions: would profits left overseas mean that (well duh, but more so than otherwise) foreign consumer markets will pick up noticeably (and we therefore should be paying close attention)?

Thanks.

You certainly have better chance at getting job by going to university; unemployment rate is higher for non-grads. Also running your own business is not as easy as it seems; especially without the connections to get the contracts. Expecting the graduates to work for themselves straight out of university is unrealistic.
nowadays even the lower 10% have their basic needs covered and some left for leisure

Only really because of what's left of the welfare system, mainly Medicaid, Section 8 housing, food stamps, and the EITC; which I agree does help on the low end, but is increasingly being time-limited and rationed (e.g. Section 8 is hard to get into). The 10th-percentile household income in the U.S. is around $12,000. If that's all you had to live on, even in cheapish parts of the US it'd be quite a stretch to pay rent+food+transportation+healthcare out of that, especially for more than one person.

The problem is that a society where everybody have similar incomes is somehow fairer, when there is no logical chain leading there and to top it off it causes ruination.

Well, I've lived in both the U.S. and Denmark, which have very different levels of income inequality, and I wouldn't say Denmark has suffered ruination. There are pros and cons, of course. The logical chain isn't that complex if a society actually wants to implement it; it doesn't require some kind of communist revolution, just high and highly progressive taxes (including on capital gains), a national healthcare system, and a strong safety net.

Mobile networks seem to do all sorts of horrendous shit to peoples Internet connections. I found out this morning that T-Mobile UK's transparent web proxy breaks web sockets. They also break some websites by minifying javascript badly.

This is exactly why my phone has a VPN to my Linode server and routes out all Internet traffic over it. Mobile phone companies don't provide a clean Internet connection.

The 10th-percentile household income in the U.S. is around $12,000. If that's all you had to live on...

It's not all you have to live on. People in these income ranges tend to have consumption of $18-22k.

The missing piece of the puzzle is that a lot of people in these income ranges receive many benefits which do not qualify as income.

Wow.
The only way to reliably work around operators messing around with what you access (inserting their own client side code and such) and potentially inserting stuff into the headers like this too is to use a VPN for all Internet traffic that isn't otherwise tamper proof (i.e. HTTPS with a properly signed cert).

I use OpenVPN when I have my netbook tethered to my phone (or when I use any other "untrusted" wireless network for that matter) and route all traffic through my home fibre (I'm with an ISP that I know doesn't mess with my traffic).

There are problems with that though:

* installing OpenVPN on Android is a faf (I've still not got around to it on my device) [see http://vpnblog.info/android-openvpn-strongvpn.html and similar] - most users are not going to want to mess around like that

* there is no garantee that it will even work (or work efficiently enough) on all networks, or they could classify all encrypted traffic in the same lump as encrypted P2P connections and shape/block accordingly

* any VPN adds overheads (at least a set of headers per packet, and keep-alive packets when the connection is otherwise inactive), so if you don't have a cheap data plan that could be a consideration
Perhaps, but Daniel Duchaine recommended it first, back in 1996 in his book Body Opus.

Actually, his recommendation was swimming in cold water, which would probably be much more effective.
That's what the first part of my reply is, isn't it? EITC, Section 8 housing, food stamps, Medicaid, etc., are where the extra money comes from. Which I agree is a good thing, and what makes it at all possible to claim that the 10th-percentile income is one that's possible to live on. But I don't think those programs are very secure (they've been significantly cut, many are hard to get into now if you weren't already in, and I think more cuts are likely), so the prospects aren't great.
That would be great. Do you know any other apps (other than emacs, that is) that provide a similar sort of discoverability? And on the similar note, is there a way to make emacs's tips be even more prominent?

what I haven't seen in the previous comments is that people naively don't learn from past experiences or other failures. Now let me explain :

- CURRENTLY, we can safely say Google core product is search and at least CURRENTLY people still needs "google search".

- will it be the same in the FUTURE ? well, you don't have to know the answer, but I'm sure some crazy numbers crunching happen every day at Google and those would signal some trends about "google search" in favor or not.

- Now let's learn from "some failures"...Microsoft didn't want to reinvent itself, they thought their cash cows (windows & office) will always give them a foot ahead, so never wants to let them go and try something totally new without "windows" in them...well u know their history.

- Apple once was "Apple Computer", changed to "Apple Inc", entered new industries, created new ones, planning to enter new ones, never cared about "ideals, fair treatment, transparent", never care about what their users think they want, they controlled all their products like never seen before, they basically do what they want and their customers just take it or leave it...basically in short, 13 billions of profits in a quarter!!!

Now with all above, assume you're smart, can learn quickly, , you're Larry Page and you don't want to become something of the past, what will you do ?

...would profits left overseas mean that (well duh, but more so than otherwise) foreign consumer markets will pick up noticeably...

No guarantee, but it's likely. If the overseas profits are invested, then yes. If it sits in the bank and is not invested, then maybe not.

From what I've read and seen, it seems that overseas consumer markets are increasing. Here in Pune, it's definitely the case. There are a ridiculous number shiny new apartment complexes advertised by pretty white ladies doing yoga, Centaurs, and claims that everyone will envy your opulence.

And is there some specific reason the private sector is deleveraging? Have CFO's just gotten more spooked than before?
