They could just delete most of the photos after they age a bit, analyzing it with some of their AI whiz-bang software.

If anyone ever asks to see the image again, they can just show one that is "close enough" and nobody would ever know the difference.

I personally, have never posted a photo to Facebook, so I'd be OK with that.

From the summary

So, while this particular group is complaining that they are relatively underpaid, it seems,on average, government employees are overpaid.

Let them train some H1-B visa holders to replace themselves and help get the government average down to the private sector average.

Wow, so it's a good thing that in today's PC society, I can "identify" as a 28 year old female of color, with 30 years of industry experience the next time I apply for a job. That will increase my chances, because, as a 50 something year old white guy, I am screwed.

Anecdotal, but interesting to note your examples are from other countries, both of which don't have much opportunity. Recognizing that and coming to the US was seen as "the land of opportunity" for them, yet many here don't see it that way. Why is that?

Well, not secure from outside attack, you can defend against that by not putting it on a network... KISS

Maybe everything after XP started phoning home to who knows what "area code" (206, NSA, KGB, unit 61398?)

Doing things right, and doing things cheap are two different things.The presumption was that "COTS" was both... maybe not so much anymore. (BTW the spirit of COTS means OSS is fair game for scrutiny.)

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Can we also get rid of horoscopes, psychics, religions, and politicians?

But Greenland is 4X worse than the USA.

Check out how your country rates.

After decades years of living, I've decided I'm tired of the uncertainty of what happens when I die. Would there be any serious harm in universal consensus that said being dead equals zero? Maybe it exists already, not sure. But I run into it all the time in every religious person I've worked with. Does anyone want what happens when they die to result in anything other than zero?

As long as you are making up shit, you can make up whatever you want, but it doesn't make it true.

I went thru the phone tree (something like, existing service, changes, remove or downgrade...) and I am sure I am per-routed to the "customer retention" expert.

I want to cancel TV altogether from Cox (Keeping Internet only). All representatives busy... estimated wait time 8 minutes. (I am in minute 10).

It is easy to find rich DJs.

But still, your point is valid.

If I do it standing up, I am "safe", right?

Exactly.

While the G7 represents half the wealth, it is only 15% of the population of this planet.

Who is going to make the other 85% stop using fossil fuels?

As long as it is economical to burn, someone will do it.

Let's just race all the horses to death. Last one down wins!

Yes - for a photograph, the data are the bits that make up the image. The metadata tells about the data (how, where, when it was collected, photographic settings, etc.)

"ver" (command prompt) for Windows 7 reports "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]", so now what?
