Oof, those are some brutal realities that make me want to wait a few years to get an EV, although perhaps I shouldn't hope so much that they won't introduce Different major problems in that time!

Is the workman supposed to create his own tools from scratch that meet national standards because the state level body didn't furnish them with tools that actually work?

Yup, without humans in the loop doing sanity checks, uncorrected errors can have huge impacts. But this also raises the issue of how people leave detention, what the State does when this happens. etc. Poorly used AI, and poorly designed/run state bureaucracy!

It seems like there's a market gap for mobile phones that are sold in sets or with pre-configured parent/child role options.

In this economy, it makes me wonder if they actually love them, considering how much free rent they've been handing out.

Letters used to be delivered in parts of London multiple times a day. They're complaining about falling delivery standards, and the amount of money wasted. It's a stream of consciousness style of writing, but I could follow it. I often write like that when I'm really angry/tired/etc.

What shocks me is how many people insisted over and over that the system was fine. I've been doing various computer jobs most of my life, computers Absolutely make mistakes, because the humans who created and use them certainly make mistakes!

Exactly, the example from the main article about the 50 year old who paid the phantom missing funds back out of their own saves, plus sixty three thousand pounds from their parent's savings and then stepped in front of a bus, that person was ruined by the people at the Post Office, Fujitsu, and the lawyers who lied in layers so that one person would face a court case when they didn't steal that money.

It's terrible that so many people were so selfish and thousands of lives were damaged or ruined as an outcome.

Smart Game Devs could design eternity patches as part of the original design (to avoid having to reverse-engineer old code years later) and update/implement it when the standard support ends. And of course games should be advertised as such.
Dune Awakening for example has a lot of single-player content in Hagga Basin and even the Deep Desert (not to mention player-run servers already exist), so a post-support life sounds quite possible.

Nah, that can't be it, why would there be people in the USA running for office with the core promise of tearing everything down? Or people with a vested interest in the IRS not being able to handle anything but individual tax returns and not complex corporate/high net wealth spaghetti tax returns? /sarcasm

Has there been any report on how/why they were found to be not contributing value? Because there are endless news stories of major update failures, likely stemming from funding increases in one bill, but reductions in another bill. So everyone agrees there's a major IT problem within the IRS, but no one has put in the effort/funding to fix them long-term.

The Agent was wrong, when humans hit a certain critical mass we develop medicine and education for women, which drastically drops birth rates. It's still a race between various parts of human nature to see who wins out in the end.

Yeah, but there are so many people who only believe what they see themselves, it makes statistics useless. It's either a personality trait, or just that their school was too poor to do actual science experiments so the students mostly didn't learn how to understand the bigger scientific ideas themselves. I didn't believe in bacteria smaller than the eye could see until my Mum borrowed a microscope and I put creek water under a microscope. There are So many small things living in creek water!
There was a little blobby creature with six leg-like things moving around, I pressed the slide down and suddenly there was a side profile of a miniature flea-looking thing...
It could have been two different creatures, but it's wild how much variety of stuff there was, it certainly explains us humans getting sick from untreated creek water :D

I'd say the biggest factor discouraging parents from being more involved in their kid's lives is time, too many people working long hours, commuting long hours, etc. Too many employers demanding on-site work rather than remote, because they made complicated land/office use deals that have nothing to do with their core business operations. If a person can complete 8 hours of in-office tasks in 3 hours at home, pay them for the work and let them do their own thing, like raising kids, or planting carrots.
