I'm not going to do the whole split here. If you want, watch the video. If you don't want to, just take my word for it that there's plenty of leftovers besides the tortillas.
You are a programmer? You understand that different firmwares and operative systems work in different ways and excel at different things?
For the record I do like reading. I just don't like all the reading. I tried learning rust by reading the book. Ugh. Horrible for me. Much better experience working on a project of my own. I saw that for some people it worked. Good for them. It didn't for me, and I had to find a different path. I learn by tinkering. Others might learn by copying, or by drawing boxes and arrows. Who am I to judge their firmware?
This is not a bad thing. That's good! Variety in ways of thinking is one of humanity's strengths.
If you find someone who is good at programming but doesn't like reading, try to find out how. You might be able to learn some of their abilities that complement yours.
He says it right after returning from the store. Like "I bought this bag of 12 tortillas, I only need one for this burrito, obviously I would be using the rest for other things".
Actually given that in the US especially you would have to drive to chipotle, queue and then wait for them to prepare it, and you are already doing groceries anyway, you are exchanging driving and waiting at a Chipotle by cooking things at home. I find the second more enjoyable, but I understand that for people that don't like cooking it might not be the case.
In case it isn't clear: riots in Paris are (relatively) common. Common enough so that regular life, or in this case, a croissant review, doesn't stop. People travelling to the train station might encounter a couple rubbish bins on fire on their way there, and then find that their train was cancelled because of riots.
That's what Europe has that the US is lacking, and can't quite conceive.
> Yes, AI will take your job, except for a small subset of people: plumbers, surgeons and the like. Oh, and politicians, executives, and board members.
Not if every time they get out of their gated community or their 5-star hotel they face burning trash and get thrown rotten eggs to their faces.
If the people in the lower decks were allowed to go home, I don't see the issue.
If they were forced to work without air conditioning and it was me, I would go to a doctor, tell them I am suffering from heat exhaustion, and get a voucher for not returning to work until the situation gets fixed.
Corporations can vote now. If they own land. In some states.
Which is fine, they only get one vote.
But they can also divide a piece of land into small plots, make a bunch of shell companies, each one owning a small piece of land, and vote using that.
I always thought it was a way to inconvenience lower-income people who don't have the means or time to maintain them. You make them into HOA laws, and you can make it yet another obstacle for poor people to go over in order to become your neighbors.
