so many programmers think that programming is a cool and important job that requires a ton of skill and talent and dedication.

That remains true.

and then they learn at around 40 that is all a load of old bollocks, hence the reason companies have outsourced much of it to 3rd world places.

Who are mostly neither talented nor dedicated and produce crap...

so to keep being employed in IT, you need to change with it,

No, you need to leave IT and be hired back at a far higher rate to fix the mess caused by people who think they are programmers but are neither talented or dedicated.

No worse hell that managing an offshoring project and watching future failure being built into the system. I will not do it and neither should anyone.

I want it made clear, as some jurisdictions, such as California, consider it wiretapping if you record voice without the other person's consent, even in public.

It is already the case, it is called Spoliation of Evidence.

IRS found that out when they "lost" the emails ordered turned over. They discovered that a prosecutor did not even have to prove it was intentional, it is presumed to be intentional if it happens after the request is made.

Suddenly, those emails are just rilly rilly hard to find, not lost.

It is, as the IRS is finding out about missing emails.

Too fucking bad police.

If you want us to give up our rights so you can protect the greater society at large... you will do what we fucking want you to do.

Or are the wrong person for the job, go do something else.

Disabling the camera would be Spoliation of Evidence, and is a crime in most places.

That is an odd argument. If you suppress a state right, you oppress all the citizens of that state.

Well, we have been so successful at lowering taxes half the population pays only 2.5% of the tax burden. Not per person, the whole group.
You can't reduce the federal tax burden effectively unless someone makes 66K or more. The top 10% pays 70% of the bill.

So all tax reduction bills tend to benefit the "rich" by definition.

You must be joking. Google 55mph.

The Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act was a bill in the U.S. Congress that enacted the National Maximum Speed Law.[10] States had to agree to the limit if they desired to receive federal funding for highway repair. The uniform speed limit was signed into law by President Nixon on January 2, 1974, and became effective 60 days later,[11] by requiring the limit as a condition of each state receiving highway funds, a use of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.[12]

The term is "Spoliation of Evidence" and is criminal in many jurisdictions.

As a Republican, I 100% agree with the idea and want it to happen.

I also want codified in that same law that all citizens are able to video officers for any reason at any time if they can do so from pubic property or private property they are allowed to do so, and are not physically hampering what is going on.

Any attempt to keep the public from recording or interfering with that recording is de facto proof of violating the civil rights of the photographer and the person that the officers are engaging.

And that's why, if you can, you go back to college to get a Bachelor or Masters degree when you get into your late 30's early 40's.

That is the worst possible advice you could possibly give, except I guess for killing yourself.

That is when instead of SPENDING ALL YOUR SAVINGS ON SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT MATTER, you should instead think about switching to consulting and increasing your earnings. Can't find a full-job easily past 40-50? Learn to make people pay what you are really worth for the vast amounts of experience you have, because that is worth a lot, save up what you can and enjoy retirement eventually, possibly a lot earlier than you would have if you burned your money like an idiot getting a business degree so you could be unemployed with all the younger business majors who cannot find jobs either.

"They" is anyone who has the power to trigger the shutoff.

If that is the FBI, Homeland Security, Police, or even the Fire Department. Or Black Hat hackers, if it comes down to it.

Once it is in the hands of someone to use it to increase their power and control over others to achieve their goals, they will figure out a reason to use it.

Just as a sword incites someone to use it like a sword.

"The blade itself incites to acts of violence"

If you give someone a powerful tool, they will use it.

You didn't know all along... you worried about it, you feared for it, but you didn't know

Only retarded idiots like yourself do not KNOW the inevitable will occur.

It affects all other choices you make, which is sad for you.

We report, we decide.

Editing or putting a PSA in front of it removes the neutrality of the "news coverage"

At least with the PSA, I know the filter applied, with a takedown it is unclear.
