It is true that technology does eliminate old jobs, but there are an unlimited amount of jobs in the 'que' so to speak.

There is no set amount of jobs. Jobs are determined by people's desires. If you have money and a desire, those combine to become a job. Those new jobs create money. (basic economic theory - jobs create money, not the other way around. Simplest thing to think of me paying you lets you pay other people, who can pay other people, so $10 being spent once ends up being spent 4,5, or who knows how many times, thereby increasing M1 and M2, even with same amount of M0).

When technology destroys an old job, it frees up that money to create more jobs. A thousand years ago 90% of our current jobs did not exist - almost no industry, no media, few luxury goods, few 'high' art, no 'low art'.

Jobs come from people's desires, and those desires are unlimited. Trust me, you can always depend on human greed, lust, gluttony, envy, and pride to create new jobs.

Now, those jobs may require advanced training that is rare, and may be low paying crappy jobs, but there is always an unlimited amount of new jobs to come.

The trick is to make sure they are good paying and to keep being trained.

The entire point of vaporware is to claim it is going to happen.

Admitting something is vaporware defeats the purpose.

1) Arrest the people that run these chat bots and charge them with practicing medicine without a license.
2) Require anyone that 'assists' them, i.e. Meta, Google, etc. to pay penalties in excess of 10x the amount they and the chatbot made.
3) When they complain tell them they do not HAVE to host chatbots.

If you cannot do something legally, then do not do it at all. There is no "But I want to do this and did not intend to break the law" Exception to the law.

If your PDF has an opening paragraph, then it should already do this, better than the AI.

If the AI can summarize your form better than the database that the form gets entered into, then your database sucks.

If it is not a Form and does not have an opening paragraph, put an opening paragraph in that summarizes it.

BGP?

I almost wonder if that's actually a dude who was on the flight or someone taking advantage of an opportunity to get in the news.

Seems so unlikely.

How is chosing not to be beholden to foreign interests a political statement? We (the US) have made it clear the rules are wildly variable and you can't trust that what we tell you today we will do tomorrow. It would be foolish to depend on us to provide software your government runs on (or cloud etc). This the sovereign movement.

Big providers see this which is why AWS and even MS have sovereign clouds in the EU ran only by citiens of EU nations and seperate from their US counterparts.

Countries shouldn't see using US-based software and services as a national security risk, they should KNOW it is a national security risk. Hell isn't that the point of removing our reliance on other countries in our manufacturing?

Every company I've worked at including my current one run their own smtp servers. Never any delivery issues. I run my own personal email server with no issues.

"And officials want to speed up the final stages of making a drug or medical device approval decision to mere weeks, citing the success of Operation Warp Speed during the Covid pandemic when workers raced to curb a spiraling death count"

I thought that is how we got terrible covid vaccines that have killed everyone who took them or at the very least gave them autisim?

Right I responded to the question that asked what happens if we completely stopped emmiting them today. How long would they exist. Obvioulsy that can't happen.

With half-lives of 2.7-5.3 years for major PFAS compounds (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS), it would take approximately:

5-7 half-lives (~15-35 years) to reach DuPont's 1991 internal guidelines
10+ half-lives (~30-50+ years) to reach undetectable levels

At least from what I can find using search.

You could a interface you prefer. That's wonderful.

I hate using a keyboard outside of work. If I have to type more than a small url or 4/5 words then it warrants a phone call and not a message. In the event that I did need to write an article there is a computer, but I'd rather never use it. Not becuase it's difficult, but because I use one all day and using one feels like I'm back at work.

I am still of the age where the bigger the purchase decision, the bigger the screen needed to buy it. So I will connect the laptop up to the TV if something I'm buying is big enough.

The issues are:
1) Transmission of electricity is inefficient, so local = better.
2) Storage of electricity is inefficient, so time matters.
3) The worst forms of electricity (coal, oil, natural gas) were designed under the assumption they would be the main form of electricity so they cannot easily be turned off or turned down.
4) The best forms of electricity (wind, solar) are intermittent, so can not be depended upon.

I guess the question is "does that matter?"

What do you need your computer to do? For work I need very few things. I need my computer to browse the web, to have a semi decent text editor, an email client, a chat tool, a compiler, and a zsh shell.

For my personal life, taking gaming out of the equation (which I almost never do anymore) I need a email client, web browser, photo manager, and chat tool.

Sure it's great to have all this freedom, but do I want the complexity that comes with it? At the end of the day it's a tool for a purpose. I'd rather not use a computer if I could help it. I get paid to use one so I do. I understand why others wouuld want more. When I was younger I loved tinkering, and building labs, compiling my own gentoo desktop, etc.

Now I just want to get done with the work I'm paid to do and try to not use a phone, tablet, or computer in my personal life unless it's the only way to get it done.

I was at a cookout last weekend. My retired uncle stated he doesn't own a computer and can't understand why anyone would own a personal computer if they owned a cell phone. My 16 year old niece agreed.

It was interesting as I've never considered not owning a computer since I bought my first one in the 90s.
