What you call destruction of service jobs, I would call the introduction to the age of plenty, and the end of the age of scarcity. There shouldn't be an "upheaval", but I know there will be. The haves are too good at dividing the have nots for them to stop.
You debunked your own comment, there's nothing for me to do here
That worked! Many thanks.
I'll give you $10.

Or is there something I'm missing?
What you're missing, as usual, is that IT DOESN'T EXIST YET but you're claiming that it does, as usual.
Anyone else getting that MongoDB ad at the bottom right? It seems to somehow evade ublock origin even when I choose it to be blocked.
The source code is written in assembly
FTFS, "it's the first version of UNIX in which the kernel and some of the core utilities were rewritten in the new C programming language"
Put this source code in front of 99.9% of the people here on Slashdot and they'd be able to do nothing with it.
Yes, this place really has gone to shit.
Some of the technologies that would enable space exploration could also help us with the goal of repairing our biosphere though.
Yes, but we could also develop the same technologies and then not spend the money going to space, and instead implement them here, and think about space exploration once we're sure we have a future.
Echoes of Earth by Sean Williams and Shane Dix (first book of the Orphans Trilogy) explains a similar scenario to the Bobiverse books, but it is darker and perhaps a little more cynical on the hard scifi parts.
Well, if power hungry people didn't mid perfectly reasonable posts down, simply because they disagree, nobody would have to post as AC.
People do it to me constantly (a day without a 3-5 comment serial downmod is unusual) and I don't have to post AC to keep my Karma in the excellent range.
Anyone that is willing to show up and be paid less than what they produce is a gold mine. Party of the grift requires businesses to treat everyone like shit, make everyone feel that their work is meaningless, that they are easily replaced, and that they won't survive without a job. HR departments have grown to fill that need of corporate propaganda and overall management of the greatest grift in history.
If they cared about fraud we'd have chips & pin everywhere. They only care about the fraud that they can't easily shift onto merchants and consumers.
The game alpha centauri is a lot more applicable here. However what you are talking about requires future technology. You would need self repairing machines for that. While this is arguably semi-feasible (design machines to be more modular and therefore serviceable by robots which could swap modules) they don't exist yet. And once they do we will be too busy dealing with the upheaval from the destruction of service jobs to think about colonizing other planets or moons.

How would that help? You don't seem to have been keeping up with what apple is doing to your precious toy.
I wasn't expecting you to self own so quickly, obsessed cuck.
I'm trying to look for a high cost card with lots of rewards, actually. I plan on using them at those establishments that refuse to take cash - either ones that are deliberately cashless, or ones that limit cash transactions.
Several times I go to buy something, I present a 20 and they refuse it asking if I have a card. A super-high-fee card would work well in this instance. You want me to use my card and not cash? Then you'll have to make it worth my while.
(I have more "normal" credit cards for regular transactions, I just don't want to be forced to use a credit card - it should be my decision).
