Those jobs don't pay minimum wage.

My first job at 16 years old was as a motorcycle mechanic (self taught) and I made 5x the minimum wage. My friends worked in fast food and made minumum wage.

Raising minimum wage would have done nothing for me, but my friends would be replaced by kiosks. Which has already happened.

If you're an adult trying to survive on minimum wage, you've made a terrible mistake.

Way back when I worked for a dialup ISP, employees were forbidden to use the company's Usenet servers even if we had a personal account. They knew the service was chock full of CP and god knows what else, but the act of an employee putting eyes on it would mean they'd have to do something about it.

I'm confident that however this case turns out, there will be yet another warning popup to click on for every site on the internet.

The SF-86 has enough information to blackmail someone into giving you anything. But a single one doesn't matter at this point because Obama let China steal all of them.

I didn't RTFA, but I can say from experience that when my ex wanted off my phone plan, I had to give permission to the carrier to release her number. Which I did, of course (was tired of paying for her Iphone anyways). And it was her number before we joined plans.

But I could have said no, or transferred her number to my phone.

Whether we're all driving electric cars in 5 years or 50 years will ultimately make no difference to the earth.

A vasectomy should be assumed to be irreversible because oftentimes it is. It may sound like a great idea when you're 20, but when you're 38 and you and your partner have been trying to conceive for years, it's awful. And kids, "I'm ovulating - just get it over with" is not enjoyable sex.

I can assure you that politically conservative conservatives are also face-palming over this.

Not me. In fact, I get 8 different absentee ballots in the mail for former tenants who haven't changed their registrations so I get to cast 9 votes!

I send bulk SMS via Twilio and they are VERY strict on respecting do-not-call requests (Reply "STOP") and will cut us off entirely if we don't comply. Our system automatically flags any number that replies with any stop words and will never send a message again or call you. And it's automated. No human involved. In fact, the flaming hoops we have to go through for compliance makes me wonder how I get to much SMS spam myself. I am 99.9% sure that if you reply-stop to a Twilio customer that it STOPS because I have to.

Thanks to the Civil War, democrats had to change their tactics. Now it's the racism of low expectations, and success means a loyal dependant class of voters.

They're checking your external IP address (fine with me) but also allowing you use your laptop/tablet/whatever elsewhere if you've used it to watch content from home within the last month. Which sounds pretty reasonable to me. They could just lock your account to your home network.

This means my kids can keep using my account on their tablets when they're at their mother's house. I've been wondering if that complies with their TOS, but it sounds like they're specifically allowing that use case.

Only downside would be if I was travelling for more than 30 days, and they've made a workaround for that specific situation. The only reason I can see to complain about this is if you're deliberately using someone else's account.

I'm thinking 1000 years. And that's optimistic, between coming up with technology we can barely imagine today plus some time for it to work. What does Slashdot think?

It is likely that people supposedly living to extreme ages aren't as old at they think they are. Either they forgot or they're carrying around someone else's identity (which is common in the 3rd world countries where a lot of these super-old people are). There was an article on Slashdot a while back about this (but I don't remember when... lol).
