By the time software engineers are fully automated, then executive assistants, accountants, business development people, marketers, administrative staff, researchers, and HR will also have been fully automated. At that point we have a revolution on our hands and not having a coding job will be the least of your worries.
(or it happens slowly enough that we have time to adjust)
Those are high performance mountain bikes with carbon fiber frames, top of the line components, carbon wheels. This is an aluminum city commuter and 4.5k is at the high end of that class of ebike.
You’re getting very confused about this thread. That medically trained comment was in reference to a hypothetical situation laid out by some other commenter in which a doctor recommends a lobotomy.
If in this hypothetical world where a trained and certified doctor recommends a lobotomy, then it should be your right as a human to take that medical advice and apply it as you see fit. Some legislator with nearly zero medical training and a political agenda should not decide what is or is not medically acceptable.
Bringing it back to the real world: the same legal framework that blocks conversion therapy is the same legal framework that blocks hormone treatment. Whether I like it or not, I don’t think the government should decide what treatments we are allowed to have. I should be able to choose my doctor (even if you think they’re a shitty doctor) and take their medical advice. You should be able to choose your doctor (even if I think they’re a shitty doctor) and take their medical advice.
Feel free to replace the word “doctor” with “counselor” or with “priest” or with “accountant”; then replace “medical advice” with “therapeutic treatment” or with “religious guidance” or with “financial advice”.
All these professions (except priest) have some credential requirement with a bar roughly equivalent to the amount of damage they can do. If we as a society have agreed to their credential, we should be free to take their advice.
Oh the better take is “my medically trained and board certified doctor says my kid needs a medical procedure but some 80 year old state congressman who needs his grandkids to unlock is iPhone says I shouldn’t, so I won’t”
Hold yourself in the top of the push up position then as slowly as you can drop into the lower position with your chest on the floor. The slower the better. When you’re on the floor, reset and go again.
Do 10 in the morning and 10 at night for 2 weeks and I guarantee you will be able to do at least one real push up.
> Being the CEO of any company that serves the democratic public means that one's ethical obligations must reflect the democratic sentiment of the public.
How does one determine the democratic sentiment of the public, especially a public that is pretty evenly ideologically split? Seems fraught with personal interpretation (which is arguably another form of free speech.)
Isn’t promoting/removing opinions you care about a form of speech?
If I choose to put a Kamala sign in my yard and not a Trump sign, that’s an expression of free speech.
If the marketing company I own decides to not work for causes I don’t personally support, that’s free speech.
If the video hosting platform I’m CEO of doesn’t host unfounded anti-vax content because I think it’s a bad business move, is that not also free speech?
My trick lately has been to allow myself to do nothing.
If I don’t want to do the task, that’s fine. I’m allowed to sit at my desk and do exactly nothing for as long as I want. No hackernews, no snack breaks, no bill paying, no online shopping, etc. I just sit there and do nothing.
Eventually the thing I need to do becomes the most interesting thing in my orbit and I do it. Sometimes I sit there for 15 minutes doing nothing before the task I don’t want to do becomes interesting enough.
Aww yes I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote about the need to form a more perfect union that allows hostile foreign governments to run a direct unfettered pipeline into the minds of its youth with zero oversight.
