I can type 30ish WPM

If the words are things like length() or common programming phrases it's definitely much quicker.

I wouldn't describe myself as touch typing though, I need to see some of the keyboard to orient myself at times. My typing speed is not a hindrance to my work. I assume there are people smarter than me that perhaps would be able to have thoughts faster than I type, but in general typing is a very small slice of time for my work. If I typed instantly I'd be at most 10% more efficient.

TurboTax has over 5 minutes of fluff where it pretends it's doing something.

It is an absolutely painful process to use.

I get it.

I have moved around for a bit (never lived in another country though), but ended up within 30 minutes/15 miles of where I grew up.

I still stand by the sentiment that a country that makes travel outside of its boarder difficult is probably not all hunky dorey and wonderful inside.

So the citizens are freely allowed to leave and visit other countries as they see fit?

I've never heard anyone refer to North Koreans as savages though, only that they're oppressed and the government does a poor job of making it a good place to live (evidenced by the difficulty in leaving).

I haven't read that book, but reading the summary of useless jobs I feel like the author may have never worked?

A good administrative assistant is golden, as is a good middle manager.

I'm not convinced there's no value in someone checking and enforcing compliance too.

I think the author just assumes everyone is perfect and there's no value to a little bit of redundancy to making sure things are done right and on time, and therefore sees fluff where there's value.

They don't necessarily need to replace people to be profitable.

If costs keep coming down and they can license to companies access for something like $1,000/seat/year (maybe more for more capable models), that's serious potential.

I know it'd certainly be worth that much for me where I work, but concerns about data leak prevent its usage.

Not just the software world.

The business world in general.

I mean I guess software in the sense that it's using software, but not software in the sense of making software.

I'm pretty sure running a search engine requires being a hardware software integration company (or even hosting mail).

Autodesk and Adobe I can see suffering. I would not personally bet on Adobe growing over the next 10 years.

Between Canva, AI image tools, and low end image touch up software, I would not want to be Adobe. They're getting to the point where they're outside of the reach or even desire of hobbyists while k-12 is using Canva in the curriculum.

I'm not sure if there's anything that works as a high level illustrator replacement, but InDesign is a lot less important for a lot of people with Canva (in the sense that one can make a good 4-color ready PDF that will print well, or PNG for digital use). AI can do a whole lot of photo touch up now.

I can see a world where AI can handle a lot of what Autodesk does now in not too long, enough of it to make an impact on their bottom line.

yep, it's a co symptom of the death of the drive bay.

Easy download of data made them a lot less valuable.

I just assumed sloppy journalism wording.

The person sets up the KVMs and manages making sure they can be connected to remotely.

Wouldn't you use some type of KVM to network for your remote access?

The computer wouldn't have any way to know.

I've played uno at a bar fairly recently (I'm 43).

There's a couple of bars with board and card games around, and Uno tends to be popular.

That's completely irrelevant wrt to the search.

Typing what GP suggested into google gives correct and clear results that will even clarify the confusion about the type of game.

We got rid of the penny here in Canada in 2012. There hasn't really been any issue since getting rid of it. The majority of people pay with debit/credit cards. For those who pay cash, the price is rounded up or down to the nearest nickel, which at the end of the day balances itself so there's no real loss. Financial institutions and retail establishments prefer it this way too, as there's significant handling costs compared to the value.

Were I the CEO I'm not sure I'd be bragging that I was unable to create content that holds interest more than an ad.
