Nothing will happen because there is zero reason to expect anything should happen.

If you tell me tomorrow the sun isn't going to rise. You're the one making the extraordinary claim. You need to show your work, and explain why it is going to be different and what the agent of that change is.

We have need AI is at the end of the day automation technology. The latter half of 20th century and most of 21st has seen the introduction of new and more automation nearly constantly, and guess what we have hovered near full employment most of the time.

So yeah i am trying to clear it up for you, because you're about as sharp as the typical brick. Either explain why this is different or STFU, because if you don't know why it should be different, there is no reason it should be different.

You're not speaking reasonably you are breathlessly repeating the same nonsense over and over.

At no point in history has the market failed to grown and employee more people after the introduction of new technology. For any of what you prattle on endlessly about to have even a grain of truth we must first accept that something which has NEVER occurred in the last four centuries of market economies is about to happen.

You have no evidence it is about to happen you can point at. This is reason enough to dismiss you entirely.

The next issue is we actually have experience dealing with work shortages. The WPA was created to address just that, if things do go really really sideways we could use the same playbook. We have fiat currency now to so the government can just print money to pay for it all. Effectively redistributing wealth from the people who have it to the wage workers it is paying. The economy would respond be producing the basic staple items those people need to buy at the expense of luxury items and by extension more complex specialized goods. Generally that isn't desirable and would not be good policy, but in Great Depression like emergency it worked before, should work now.

Realistically we have no lack of jobs, stopping illegal immigration, eliminating ag visa programs, and deporting illegals already here (a perfect good makes work project of its very own) will create significant labor shortage anytime as a policy we decide we want one. The best part is all those people you claim have the literacy of a 12 year old will be OVER qualified for most of it! Wages will rise until jobs get filled or hunger will rise until people accept the wages, the market will find equilibrium.

So which is it, are we about to have NO jobs, or are we about to have nobody to do all the jobs? Can't be both! Neither should really keep us up at night. Because either problem itself or the solution failing to resolve it has to have metric ton of "But this time will be different" applied before they even start to interface with reality. You're stupid, that is literally the entire story here.

ok, full Office Outlook certainly had/has a ton warts but lets get real about it being 'good'.

Rewind to 1997. There were some other really capable mail clients out there that really could manage very large 10k+ message mailboxes offline (key word for the time), the space got pretty rarefied as you started looking at elegant support for things like shared mailboxes or 'public folders' and of course mail integrated calendaring..

Of the few options that remained suitable for large corporate mail deployments Exchange 5/Outlook was certainly as good or better than much of what was left.

Of course Notes/Domino was massively supperior in terms of capability and security, but by 2000 Microsoft go so very much better at mail/calendar and UX that all the rest of that capability and reliability still could not cut it. That and Notes cost to damn much..

Wind and battery-backed solar are adequate to this purpose. They're already very effectively displacing fossil fuel power plants elsewhere. They get more economically attractive every day. Canada has plenty of land that's not being used for much else. Sure, the latitude is high for solar, but you can build vertically. There's no need for or even relative economic benefit to nuke plants, unless you build and sell nuclear reactors.

Solar is, by far, leading the growth of renewables. Solar is not a good source of energy in Canada, due to their high latitude (the angle of the sun is much less thus passing through more atmosphere), the disparity in amount of daylight received from season to season, and then the amount of snowfall they get, which covers solar panels.

Nuclear is one of the better sources of clean energy for a country like Canada.

100% this -anyone allowing the device to start up without a pin/password was box-checking their way thru some FDE compliance mandate not taking device encryption seriously as a security control

Western governments have been ensuring that general public does not have access to encryption since clipper chip and likely before. Once computers got powerful enough and electronic communication got cheap enough they got worried and have been working to sabotage any true E2E ever since.

Which is why taking advice from government agency, let alone allowing them to set enforceable standards should be opposed, and to the degree advice from NIST/CISA/FBI/NSA etc should be followed it needs to be run thru the common sense test and smell tests, and independently evaluated BEFORE implementation. In most cases it is good advice. As long as the threat model isn't - keep your data away from a 5 eyes agency.

Realistically nobody controls the software stack, it does not matter how good your crypto is if you are auto updating and installing code that can send the data home after its already decrypted even if the keys do remain a secret in some secure enclave.

Realistically for most users the best place to keep the real keys to your personal the kingdom and your most private conversations, is probably a second mobile device from a reputable vendor that mostly remains at home and use something like iMessage or Signal. Reboot the device often only install the handful of applications you need, don't use it for browsing. That really should keep your stuff beyond the reach of most threat actors. Will dear old uncle Sam still be able to get into if the situation becomes serious enough they are willing to expose methods and practices, perhaps after some public theater where they pretend to need Apple/Samsung/Alphabet's help and/or that they have to really coerce that cooperation, certainly. However we probably really are into if you have not done anything wrong you have nothing to hide territory there...like if you murder 10s of innocent people in a night club or something f-u I hope society does rifle thru your stuff.

The way things are headed, the only way people are going to be able to obtain money to pay for those widgets is via social welfare programs.

>"making it difficult for recipients to follow conversation history."
>"so forcing users to think about what they actually need to include is no bad thing."

Yeah, we kinda used to have such a thing. It was called "trim and inline reply" (bottom reply). Kinda like I JUST DID IN THIS POSTING. But, alas, that was not the Microsoft-way. So it turned into full bottom quotes just being added forever with top replies to 10 questions with no context.

>"Maybe, but I wonder why the thing that's ostensibly there to boot my system even needs to know what users there are on it. Its job is to get you from nothing to login - what happens after that is, frankly, none of its bloody business."

I guess you haven't encountered systemd-logind.service yet

Randal's argument was never legitimate. It supposed those trades people were free agents who could turn down the job without getting force choked.

The most virulent racist on this forum is you!

Every other comment of yours is some form of bigotry toward white people or older people. The relative handful of posts that are not that are some kind of christophobism.

You are really sad, small, terrible person. I only even both commenting because I worry someone might otherwise come to this forum unfamiliar with unhinged anti-social, nature and think it represents any significant portion of broader thinking here. I like Slashdot, and I hate watching you destroy it.

Oh this should be good. Do tell where and how is Trump going to get the votes in Congress for such an appropriation even if that is his plan. How would the treasury/DOD/IC etc move such a large amount of money without an accounting that would get even Trump impeached if he does not go to congress for it.

The problem is 37% that thinks it is going to be tax dollars going to Iran - by the way this "deal" isnt going last a month if by some change it does actually get inked anyway - the problem is 37% that has such bad TDS they believe he could gift Iran $300B from the treasury even if he was really deperate to do so. Trump is in fact not King, the GOP is not nearly united enough whip the votes for something like that.

And there it is again. You're saying the quiet part out loud. Nothing really matters to you but income and protecting your little gravy train of give awayd.

Culture, Values, etc are what we live for, bread alone is not enough. rsilvergun lays it bare, the truth about leftism is that it truly is just about hedonism and greed! Which is of course why they always attack conservatives for any policies that let someone keep something they earned or perhaps were given, its all about masking their desperate hypocrisy and jealousy. Remember, kids liberalism destroys the soul, and liberals are awful people!

Here is the thing both parts are true.

Systemd really does suck. It is a lot of attack surface, it makes a lot of things that would be enjoy some security or at least blast radius control thru heterogeneity systemic risks. It turns a lot of simple failures into complex nightmares that are difficult to untangle. It offers no discoverablity, if you don't know how the hip bone is connected to tailbone you are not getting there by looking around the system you'll have to read the docs.

90+ % of what it does was already handled just fine by existing solutions. So for all of those bloggers systemd has a zero value proposition. All suck no blow.

However....

If you trying to run 1000s of containers at scale with piles of micro services on each, actually systemd does give you some useful things. If you are are PaaS platform and you want to support a wide variety of work loads and make them controllable thur you management portals etc, well having some similar OS level control plane for your control plane tools to plug into is kinda of big deal, because otherwise you are looking at specialized code for each OS and maybe each version of OS you want to offer support for.

Instead we get this dynamic, one distro picks up systemD, the PaaS guys pick it up and say hey cool we will support systemD and tell the other distros get with the program or be left behind.

So bloggers are right if you are managing handfuls of servers the old fashion way via ssh, or just admining your own workstation - SystemD SUCKS

If you are some SiValley tech bro looking to piss away a few million VC dollars, systemD or something like it is a necessity and uniformity and adoption level is a way more important than it being any good. It is just the latest iteration of nobody ever got fired choosing IBM, exact same thinking and underlying justifications.
