Thank you. Read the whole quote. He's just listing everyday things most people take for granted. Pointing out that these people won't be able to do them. Stupid to zero in on "write a poem". BTW, George Bernard Shaw did not have level 3 autism.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it's a hedge against AI. How about a hedge against the fact that we still need to build stuff, cool spaces, plumb buildings, provide electricity and fewer people are being trained for this stuff.

I guess no more Operation Flagship (well maybe since this is just lying to kids). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Flagship

Comedians should have no fear of AI taking their jobs.

There are butchers in the supermarkets (at least the one I go to)

Finding out how great things are just before the election. Thanks!

>Prescribed burns are generally focused mainly on acreage and reducing the amount of fuel available for wildfires; cultural burns are focused on what needs burned to revitalize woodlands and promote biodiversity.

I wish they'd elaborate on how this is done. Focuses on what needs to be burned? Meaning a type of tree? Just the undergrowth? Curious how fire can be controlled to just specific elements in the landscape.

And what the hell are "cultural burns"??

Aren't bars similar to dating sites? A forum for men to compete with other men for women. I would think they'd have better luck with group activities (rec sports, craft/hobby stuff) or online groups devoted to something (restaurant enthusiasts, etc).

Me too. And they last forever and are still good and crisp.

Fascism!? Do you believe any book is okay in a CHILDREN'S library?? Of course the books need to be reviewed and decided if they are appropriate.

Because it's for children. Surely you don't think anything goes in a children's library?

History curriculum is routinely modified to match the modern ethics. They don't call this banning, but it really is. Out with an old version, in with a new.

1.6 mil a year. That's not too shabby.

It's is 2022! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green#Plot

You're still too young. Wait til you've worked five years and you know everything. ;-)

That's what I've seen. Young folks learn latest language/framework/tool/etc and decide the old stuff the grey beards use is antiquated. Then you get real old and realize there is nothing new under the sun (usually) and there was a reason the gray beards were doing it the way they were.

>>People abstract before an abstraction is necessary.

This!

I find it hard to believe his degree was a hinderance to him getting a shelf stocker job. Seems like a little exaggeration to make a more colorful story.

>>I struggle to make the connection between those kinds of business apps and advertising.

I'm starting a restaurant. I put together a doc about items I need. All the sudden I'm getting ads for restaurant equipment.

I assume he means the right to not have a substance injected into your body if you don't want it.

I like the night you get an extra hour sleep!

Wow, perfectly stated. Thank you.

I thought this has been known for awhile. I visited the site in Newfoundland like 15 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Anse_aux_Meadows

Yep. Also a right can't be guaranteed if there is a limited resource needed to provide it. If healthcare is a human right, and half the country dies due to some plague, who will provide the healthcare that is guaranteed.

This is just a semantic argument over the exact meaning of "right". It's not a moral discussion. It's fine to say everyone should get healthcare, just don't call it a right because words have definitions (or should).

I've heard of servers making so much they can't afford to move to a white collar job (or would have to take a pay cut).

>>Most coders are interested in learning how to code in a purely functional manner

I didn't realize that was true. Long time coders or newbies?

Curious, what metric would you use to determine if a group of people are lazy?

They keep bumping up the starting wage. $12/hr for fast food. You can get a nice one bedroom here for $800/month. No long commutes here.

I never said I had a definition of lazy. I just said that some people are lazy and some aren't. You can't make a blanket statement saying all young people are not lazy. Just pointing out that I've never seen so many help wanted signs as I do now.

Of course some young people are lazy. And some are not lazy. I have no idea about South Africa, but in the US I can hardly find a business in my town (especially restaurants) without a "help wanted" sign. This may be a short term issue related to the pandemic.

I guess not on HN!
