Someone didn't live through the loss of the floppy drive, DB9 ports, and parallel ports.

In my day, to plug in a mouse: We took the box apart, installed a proprietary bus card, and then tried to figure out non-conflicting spots for the I/O and IRQ jumpers. Then we typed a bunch of gibberish into AUTOEXEC.BAT. And we liked it!

At least Nixon had the class not to force his minions to take all of the credit for the Apollo missions in their press releases.

That's what Trump did here: Same as usual he took all of the credit for other peoples' work.

You wonder why he gets under peoples' skin? It's because essentially everything he does is some kind of asshole move like this.

1) it did increase productivity for some tasks
2) people were only using it once a day

I suspect that with a little experience people will better know which tasks it works for and which it doesn't, while also using it more often.

For a brand new tool to show real potential in some tasks while also being currently neutral overall seems promising in the long run.

Comment Re:People pay for YouTube? (Score 1) 71

Yup, and believe it or not some people pay for the content with ads. Some pay for money. Some just stream it with blockers. Others avoid it because there's too much advertising.

I tend to do the first or the last option, but with the music service included it seemed worth it to me to switch to paying.

My point is that there's going to be a large segment of society (somewhere between 20%-50%) in the bottom 20%-50%.

No amount of magic can change that.

The wage distribution means that even if everyone works there ass off 10s of millions will struggle in the US. There's a need for low end labor, and theres a whole whole lot of it, and the argument that those are starter jobs doesn't really hold, the distribution of jobs and income just isn't there for everyone to have a good job no matter how hard they work.
