But he used it as justification to "give Rolling Stone a little bit of slack on this one.".

It's interesting how criticizing trash publications like the rolling stone with facts and truth gets your comment flagged. Makes one wonder...

> I mean... we did put nearly all the horses out of a job. Ditto oxen and other beasts of burden.

Don't forget farmers. Most americans were farmers in the early 1900s. Today it's about 1%.

Sure, jobs were eventually created for the unemployed farmers but "robots taking all the jobs" was a cataclysmic event in the early 1900s. You could argue it was the driving force for much of the 20th century. WW1 was primarily a result of european and american societies having excess population to "thin out". The excess population was also a reason for the anti-immigration movement that dominated the first half of the 1900s.

"Robots taking our jobs" isn't the end of the world. But it can be very painful.

Google isn't banned. Google simple chose to leave china because they refuse to follow chinese laws because google is a state controlled corporation.

Repeating the same lies doesn't magically turn it into a truth.

The difference between google and tiktok is that tiktok follows all the laws and yet still is getting banned.

Why? You want to host a blog in the afterlife? All kidding aside, why not just hand over your internet assets to a trusted family member who will handle everything when you are gone?

> which doesn’t really make sense to me when I consider the weakness of the currency

When there is war, financial crisis, etc, money seeks the safest harbor. The safest harbor in the world today is the US. Rising interest rates, war in ukraine, competition with china, etc means that the world is buying treasuries. Demand for dollars goes up, demand for most other currencies goes down.

If there is a significant crisis in the world and the dollar doesn't gain in strength, then we'll know a paradigm shift has occurred.

There's a theory in economics called "sticky wages". Salaries don't decline due to layoffs or temporary economic downturns.

Neither Database Systems, Concurrent Programming nor Network Programming are foundational knowledge for CS. They are good knowledge to have for a specialized programming job, but not foundational computer science.

It's like asking why someone with a degree in theoretical physics cannot fix my car.

The real question is why so many people with CS degrees don't know what CS is really about.
