you obviously didn't read or understand the full thread. "satisfaction", fulfillment, etc being the primary criteria in which to choose a career was my original (and consistent) point. jumping from that to question about minimum wage job, is too great a logical jump as i pointed out in my last comment.
two subjects seem to have (as you say) "nothing to do with" each other; i would say they are connected by that unwarranted logical jump by ac.

how was it that first use case imagined for this fibre become space elevator?
aren't there more down to earth already practicable use cases, where this fibre will replace some other fibre because it is better.

why assume a minimum wage job that is so low in demand, easily fulfilled by anyone, requiring no special skills, satisfying no special need, and having no other characteristic which gives job holder fulfillment, be the choice of anyone looking for a life long career that gives meaning and satisfaction to life? too great a logical jump.

there maybe a minimum wage job that gives fulfillment to some, but those people would be a small percentage, and probably in such cases, specific individual context in which the job is done, give job holders other satisfactions and benefits, that fulfill them; they probably wont do a similar job in another context.

there may be others holding a minimum wage job, while they prepare for or create some other career (say as an artist etc), but then minimum wage isn't the career choice.

apart from there being 4100 snaps, and there are 100,000( and growing) installs per day, there aren't any stats as far as i can see.
did i miss a link?

?!
why do you jump to conclusion that a job one is good at, and can enjoy, and give meaning and satisfaction to life, pays minimum wage?
not very good with logic are you? at any rate we know cs is not for you!

says 9to5mac.com.

pay should never be the main criteria for a life long career choice. quite apart making decision, based on short term relative differences in pay of different careers, while ignoring possible long term changes in relative pay as markets change, one should do something one is good at, and can enjoy, and give meaning and satisfaction to life. pay does help with some of that, but it should be a secondary consideration.

"today Tesla put the doubts to rest ..."

evidently not. by claiming that falsehood, among others, this report shows its bias, and unfounded optimism for tesla.

source for this ad is 9to5mac.com. enough said.

richard branson is an irrelevant bore.
he made some money some time ago through conventional means in some noncompetitive market. good for him.
now he is wasting it, to his his credit slowly, in order to pass himself as some sort of innovator and edgy personality. he try to act and dress he part too. boring!

you associate, and even equate, steve jobs and apple, with "inventions"? lol.

musk and companies are indeed like jobs and his, lots of very creative hype to con people and governments in to buying mediocre products.

typical result when npcs run a website that needs dynamism and intelligence.

parent is moderated "funny".
but this isn't funny, especially for old user, it is sad.

why is media and slashdot falling for these corporate spin campaigns?
this is not even a contract, no significant amount of money changed hands, it is a mere letter of intent for something, if serious, would take years to happen, but more likely never happen. main purpose of this is to create good press for amazon. but media and meta media, ignores all that, believes the corporate spin at face value.

you are free to willfully misunderstand a verse in deuteronomy book in jewish bible to fit your antisemitic agenda. but don't expect others to smile at that.

you are obviously ignorant how the bible is interpreted by judaism and christianity. not everything in bible is taken literally as you seem to believe due to your ignorance.
unlike modern judaism, and unlike christianity throughout, lot of leaders and followers in modern islam do take such sayings in the islamic scripture literally. that is the difference.

i will again repeat the questions you failed to answer-
could you point out christian leaders forcing rape victims to marry the perpetrator. or same leaders saying its all "fine" if some criminal, falsely calling himself to be "christian", tried doing it? etc.

can you point out where jesus or his disciples said anything of the sort in new testament? (btw new testament dealing with jesus and his teschings, is the part that chistians follow primarily, since you are ignorant of it, i thought i would point out that fact. ) or where we can find any doctrine of the kind on the part of any established christian church?

don't try to avoid these questions by turning the discussion to your anti semitic prejudices.

link and how and why you consider the law, if it existed, as "christian"? again be specific.
