>"As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks. The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations."

Reminds me of the reporter who was supposedly working on a massive investigation and then died in a flaming car crash while skipping town. Forgot his name

From what I've seen the best hiring process seems to be Automattic's. They do a short interview over chat then give them a project if they pass the interview where they pay them $25/hr and then evaluate at the end. Minimal time wasted for both parties.

>Of course there are some employers who won't even acknowledge someones resume exists without a degree, which I have always found silly.

It really is stupid, I would hire a software engineer who dropped out of high school over a PhD if he's better. Never understood why people care about degrees, the whole point of college is to learn, not get a piece of paper. Only excuse I can think of is that it's a sorting mechanism for lazy businesses to filter applications.

> That also means we're moving towards making being a developer a blue collar job rather than a white collar job

This will never happen, the majority of the population doesn't have the dedication and/or intelligence to be employable as software developers. I've given numerous people resources to learn how to code and none have stuck with it.

end game will be massive population reduction. Universal income doesn't change the fact that our resources are finite and humans reproduce exponentially. UNs top agenda is population control, read between the lines.

You could say the same about lyft, seemingly minus the illegal and immoral behavior, though they might get away with the same behavior due to not being in the spotlight as much as Uber

I wouldn't say "trained", I would say evolutionarily selected. Sexually dimorphic phenotypes and differences in IQ distribution show this.

I'd like the think that eventually karma will catch up with Uber. Hard to think of a single positive thing to say about the company.
