I beg to diff. 25 years ago when I started in the work force, you didn't call out sick without a doctors note and a no call no show was essentially going to get you fired unless you had a extremely good reason. No one behaved that way but now, it's an every day occurrence.

It's not just Gen Z that has lowered work ethic. I've watched these changes over at 25 years and it's really sad. Even older workers pull this shit now. I guess it's partly a reaction to being treated as disposable by employers.

I don't know, if I was that miserable at my job, I would find a new one. Instead, people just whine or don't even show up. At least it's only a subset of folks, as I have some really awesome Gen Zers at my work, so it's not a generational thing.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I use to think this kind of behavior was just limited to my kind of job (retail, grocery) but having talked to many different people in many different professions, no show no call and constant sick calls are par for the course with these folks.

I recall complaining to one of my customers about the lack of work ethic and she told me the same thing happens at her work. She's a nurse that deliveries babies and she has fellow nurses no call no show. I was baffled. How does ANYONE no call no show in this day and age when we all have a cellphone practically glued to our hands? It's indefensible unless you are in a coma.

I always tell anyone I'm in charge of to call or text. Even if I don't like that you won't be there, just tell me you won't be there so I can adjust or call someone in. It's just downright disrespectful to those you work with to be so unreliable. I constantly wish we'd fire these people.

Plenty of sperm has been donated at this point. We could very likely clone that DNA as well. We may not be there completely yet, but its coming.

As far as raw physical strength? LOL, who cares about that. We have long since moved past physical strength making any difference in our modern economy. We have female soldiers, female divers, female high voltage line techs. The list goes on and none of it remotely requires people be "strong". Most men are all that strong either and pretty sure the people most successful are most certainly not the strongest amongst us. I mean, how much do you think Elon or Gates can bench at their best? Yeah, no one cares.

The crisis is that workers pay taxes and automation does not. All our social systems are pyramid schemes that require an ever growing base of the pyramid. Due to changing social norms over the past 60 years, we're seeing birthrates crater the world round, but the effects are more noticable where women are attaining education.

Men are redundant at this point. Women can now have babies with zero male involvement and they are of course able to work, run businesses, own land, vote, anything that a man can do, a woman can do as well.

More women have realize what a raw deal marriage and childbirth are and have said, "nope". I guess they'd rather travel, see the world, not be burdened with all the housework, all the childcare duties and have to hold a job. So they've ditched the housework and children in exchange for freedom. Hard to argue they shouldn't.

Unfortunately for world governments and everyone's silly socialist ideas, that only works when the tax base continues to expand. With a shrinking population, you have a shrinking tax base and that will directly translate to fewer social services, from healthcare to retirement.

Without forcing women backwards, I don't really see how you turn this around. Maybe enough taxpayer money could influence women to want kids but it would have to be pretty darn generous, enough so that they wouldn't have to work. You won't see that happening.

Wasn't this the goal the entire time? To get your name out there, flout taxi laws and eventually push out autonomous taxis with zero workers?

If you are to smart or know the situation to well, you will never make the jury. They want morons that know nothing for these trials. I could easily demonstrate to a jury how easy it is to cancel and the prosecutor would dismiss mean from the case for "reasons".

Ahh, that's right. You can cancel "right now" and get a partial refund. Try that with any other service, it's unheard of it. Typically, you get access until the next billing cycle because you pay before you get access.

Nope. I had prime video and it's super easy to cancel it. It even asks if you want to cancel that very moment or wait for some reason. No matter what, you get access for the amount of time you've already paid, typically until the next bill cycle would hit. It's not fucking rock science and they make it easier then most.

There is literally an option to manage subscriptions from the drop down menu off the home page. They really couldn't make it much easier but then, people are pretty fucking retarded, so maybe they need a big red button spelled out in every stupid language to accommodate every high school drop out.

You just sound like a prosecutors favorite juror.

The first thing I would do is bring my laptop, demonstrate how fucking easy it is to actually cancel prime (it's easier then most, actually) and the prosecutor would take one look at me and send me home.

I've never in my life wanted this. It sounds like a massive distraction and a waste of local resources. Just wait, once you can get video for your background, the very next fucking day you'll have ads on your background.

I guess home Windows users deserve this for using Windows, since no way this will fly in the corporate setting.

I mean, it's a whole lot easier to break shit then build or fix shit. You can easily lookup CVEs to find exploits. It's not hard to scan for systems that are of the write version that contain the exploit. At that point, I'm quite sure AI could kludge together a tool or script that could gain you access to a system.

Shoot, there are already "security" tools that are freely available that do precisely what I just described. The only different between a security tool and an exploit tool is the motivation of the user.

It's worth a read but it's more a blog post then an article. Still, it's better then most the stuff they post. As dskoll said, read the article.

You people! don't even want to return to the office and you are now talking about vacationing in a teenie tiny space-station with basically nothing to do but work? Right.../s

All the new installations, sure. All the old ones, highly unlikely. If you are on NEM 1.0 or 2.0, you are grandfathered into that for a certain period of time, I think 25 years. If you add a battery to your system, it counts as changing your system that you will be put on the new NEM 3.0 rules. That's very likely not going to be worth it for a property owner and will likely even discourage some from getting a battery knowing they'll lose out on the better sell back rates of 1.0 or 2.0.
