So you're arguing the first one, never implement technology to save labor because people deserve the dignity of work. How far should we take this? Should we burn the tractors? We could create lots of new jobs for agricultural labore

If it's necessary during COVID times, it could still be beneficial during non COVID times. Even if COVID goes away, there are plenty of other viruses lurking around that kill lots of people each year.

Is your point that there should never be a job displacing technology or that retail workers are a special class that should be protected from automation?

They have Amazon stores in the US. There's one I know of in downtown Chicago. I don't know if it did particularly well but it wasn't robbed bare every day.

Not to mention they're just fucking annoying to listen to all day in the summer.

I think it depends on what the Scrum/Agile process looks like and what it is replacing. For example, I think its pretty useful to have an iterative forecast of achievable work rather than a huge BRD and a solid deadline.

So, in other words, they became multi-millionaires. I think your reading too much into it, just take the words as written.

IDK I think it's quite cowardly if ebay is not willing to be consistent in what they are willing to sell. For example, if they can find a few people that are offended by violent video games, then all violent video games should be take

Charles Manson In His Own Words is a-OK though!

No. Actually, technically yes but very indirectly. The fossil fuels would be taxed which are agricultural inputs for the food which we eat and then exhale.

Thank God I have ebay to protect me from reading Doctor Seuss! Now please excuse me while I go bid on a vintage copy of "Charles Manson In His Own Words".

Ideally through a carbon tax which, unfortunately, current politicians seem too cowardly to even propose.

IMO it should be the place where you live and use the roads and schools and police and firefighters.

You're right, social media is worse because it extends to all aspects of life, not just health.

Most of the money isn't even going to teachers, it goes to an increasingly bloated administrative staff. Really what we need to do is fire 50%+ of the non-teaching staff at schools. Use that money to give the teachers a raise and lowe

A carbon tax would help. We don't necessarily have to eliminate meat production, just make it expensive enough to reduce its use by a factor of 10 or so.

Animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of global anthropogenic emissions, over half of which comes from cows. http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/197623/icode/#:~:text=... .

I can't really discuss the directly perceived experience of anything other than myself since I have no way of accessing it. I have no way of knowing if you have directly perceived experiences, but I would assume you do since I can see

A lot of animals (such as insects) aren't self aware. I still think they have some form of consciousness. Emergent behaviors by themselves aren't goal-oriented.

You appear bounded when examined at a macroscopic level but you aren't really. You constantly have skin cells sloughing off into the air (is that you?) and you're filled with bacterial cells that are not genetically related to yo

I think groups of people are conscious in a sense. When I say conscious I'll use a definition where consciousness is the behavior of a physical system that is: * directional/goal oriented * exhibits higher order patterns / b

And if you have a way to get people, on a mass scale, to stick to a reduced calorie diet long-term then you may have a scientifically proven solution. Until you have that you do not have a scientifically proven solution. You have a method

We don't have a scientifically proven method to greatly reduce body fat over the long term. (Yes, that includes calorie counting, keto, or whatever other fad diet.) Until we do there isn't much that officials and healthcare provid

Should is the wrong word. I think what you mean is it would benefit them financially to immigrate. Some people may not want to leave family in their home country and others may simply not want to live in the US.

I don't really know as I've never worked there but from what I've heard their base pay is relatively average but equity boosts the total compensation a lot.

You don't have to study. I never studied and I passed some whiteboard interviews and have a steady job. Sure, higher paying jobs (such as at Google) might have more difficult interviews which require some study but at less competiti

Reported figures happened in the past though, it's the future cash flows which affect the price of a company and no one knows what those cash flows will be exactly, not even the company itself.

Yeah I think I would feel differently. I would be much more upset by a guillotine outside my house (that's almost KKK levels of hatred) than people thinking I'm dumb for one reason or another, especially if I was the person who b

IDK Elon gets some (deserved in my opinion) love. Jeff seems to be the butt of more of the "kill the rich" rhetoric such as the guillotine outside his house. Personally if I was a billionaire, I would do everything possible to k
