Comment Re:I fully agree. (Score 1) 162

people with Aspergers who don't generally need much help are using limited resources within the healthcare and social care system that they don't get any benefit from but someone with more severe autism would.

What resources? For an adult, there's nothing. For a kid, is it fair to deny them help they need because they're not "autistic enough"?

Those that got into CS or IT just because it was easy to get a job even when you were not good at things now find that this approach does not work anymore. For the rest, this is at worst a temporary set-back.

I graduated into the .com bust and was still able to get a job. But it was harder to land, farther away, and for less money than it would have been previously. Take what you can get, and eventually you won't be a junior developer anymore.

I attended a school orchestra concert where one of my children was performing, and I was shocked to see 90% of the audience holding their phones over their heads filming the event. The Whole Time.

There should be a no recording policy, and the event filmed with a real camera up front and then published on the school web site.

I haven't been to a concert since before camera phones. I guess this is what people do nowadays. (Get off my lawn.)

Comment Re:Mass Unemployment / Economic Death Spiral (Score 1) 101

When you tally Uber / Lyft drivers plus OTR Over The Road and Local Route truck drivers you end up with a number that is by far the largest source of employment in the United States, dwarfing the second largest category, K-12 public school teachers by a few million more jobs.

That second largest category could also be automated. I wonder when that will begin?
