Hmm: looking at 19th century shops where only merchants picked products to self-checkout today, that seems like the trend. Everyone will end up doing everything themselves.

Not everyone qualifies for SS because either they didn't pay in long or enough. There's thousands of people working well into their 70's and 80's in menial jobs because SS doesn't cover their living expenses. For example, I'm worried about my mom because her finances are dwindling.

Because human activities are error-prone, evacuations cause an increase in fatalities; so any evacuation decision has to be balanced against the risks of sheltering locally.

Re:Computer Programmers: Occupational Outlook Handbook:: U.S
on Thursday October 11, 2018 @06:08PM (#18197415)
Employment of computer programmers is projected to decline 7 percent from 2016 to 2026. Computer programming can be done from anywhere in the world, so companies sometimes hire programmers in countries where wages are lower.
Also, this lacks consideration of automation of programming itself when deep learning can listen to users and build interfaces and APIs directly and faster than any human ever could.

From my understanding, Jamal Khashoggi, a regime insider journalist was disappeared and allegedly dismembered by a hit squad of 15 assassins in the Saudi Ankara embassy, according to Ankara/Turkish police, because he violated an unwritten rule: once an insider, one must never be critical of or disobey the royals. His "self-imposed" exile didn't diminish his insider status in the minds of the regime. His gruesome murder (and possibly torture) was intended to send a message.

If they're then farmed anything like Norwegian-owned salmon, which destroy the local ecosystem with underwater clouds of shit, sea lice, excessive antibiotics, higher levels of toxins than wild-caught (PCBs, dioxins, toxaphene, dieldrin and mercury), feed preservatives, lower Omega-3 levels than wild fish and corrupt politicians pretending everything is okay, adding more GMOs to the mix seems like putting lipstick on a fish.

When people can't or won't confront the root sources of their ills (corrupt politicians monopolized by rich people), they scapegoat all sorts of other things to get their angst out unproductively: attacking ideas, movements and people. Populist fascists come along promising all sorts of cures, when they generally make things worse. After failing spectacularly, rebuilding from scratch is usually necessary. Repeat every 1-3 generations. And so it goes.

True. There's never has, and never will be, any "pure," utopian socialism nor libertarian anarchism, just messy reality with varying levels of gotchas, power concentrations, totalitarianism and corruption. The best people can do is diffuse power and install individuals whom are fair, reasonable and put society / greater good before personal gain... without many of these sorts of people, the crooks win and tear civil society down.

For any Fortune 500 (Google, Apple, HP, etc.), have certain staff work covertly under shell subsidiaries but develop close rapport with key vendors (as said subsidiary), make straw purchases and do comprehensive (bordering on intrusive) supply-chain surveillance and auditing, because the targets on the side of the parent corp's "boat" paints them as easy marks for industrial/economic espionage/sabotage/monitoring. Not only does this help confuse/disinform competitors, but it can make attacks by state and other actors more difficult.
This might mean high-resolution X-raying of all hardware and cryptographic signature verification of all firmware in order to prove hardware received is what was designed, and nothing else.
