Which I'm sure will be a "no-show" effort. The Zukerbot makes more than $50M on his average restroom break.

This is now very easy to automate. No more remembering needed.
Yes, this reduction of bank employees has come in waves during my life: credit cards replaced check books, online banking replaced paying bills at banks, ATM:s replaced handling cash at banks.
The only people left in a bank are negotiating loans or troubleshooting the situations when the machines don't cut it - yet.
People don't like Outlook because of email. (Or if they do, the feature they like is the view notifications.) Mostly however, people want to see everyones calendars to find a time slot for a meeting for 10 people. I don't know of any other software that allows people (= managers) to make meeting reservations to groups of people like Outlook/Exchange.
But I have run VS Code on Ubuntu, so that is not a reason to switch to Windows.
Doesn't that mean that more people will come from South America and in five years you are back to 11 million illegal immigrants?
I don't know if you know this, but we have actually made our refugee immigration rules much stricter in the last 5 years. We are also very aggressive in returning people who do not get refugee status. You can always say that we are still too lax, but compared to 10 years ago, we are quite tough on the refugees.
Hmm.. I didn't remember this, thanks! This could actually be a problem, because now the pilot does not give us any information about effects of UBI to people with full time jobs.
If you are unemployed and in the UBI pilot you get pretty much the same amount of money as you previously got. The main difference is that you can e.g. start a small business and not lose the UBI.
What happens if you start a company that does not yet make any money? Do you lose all the benefits? What about full time students? At least our current system has all kinds of holes you can fall in to unless you are careful.
The participants to the pilot were selected randomly from the population of Finland. It is not limited to a region. This way they represent all social classes. After some years the people in the pilot are compared to others who were in the same situation as the pilot started.
The problems with immigration etc. already exist in our current system, so we most likely already have solutions for them.
I fail to see how that is not happening with the current system just as much as with UBI. With UBI you could at least study with the UBI, now you lose unemployment benefits if you study full time.
Once we have the massive laser array for sending these things we can send one every week. It is not a one-off mission.
They are not charging based on the costs of each subject, they are charging based on the market value of the subject. Teaching law is pretty cheap for the university, while art is probably not.
The touch bar actually works a lot better in real life than in the ads. I saw a colleagues brand new MBP and the bar contains buttons for frequently used commands. Like function keys but so that the captions change from one app to another. I think it's semi useful.
But I was really disappointed that the machines did not gain any performance. That is what I was waiting for.
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
