You have yet to put your money where your mouth is. Demonstrate intestinal fortitude, it's only a buckeroo.

I think there is still plenty of demand in the US for linesman, welders, pipefitters, HVAC techs, low voltage installers, automation/PLC technicians, etc.

Define "plenty". Even if you increased them by an order of magnitude, it wouldn't make up for the impending job loss. Also, automation never sleeps. They will look for new ways to reduce headcount in installation and maintenance positions as well. More prefabs welded by robots, where the laborers are just loading machines. Then you eliminate those people with machine loading robots, lather rinse repeat. More networking, more wireless, less direct wiring. And eventually, finally, less maintenance staff — and more replacement of modules when diagnostics call for it, with centralized maintenance of those modules.

I'll note also that as you said, a bunch of those are hard work. Some are even dangerous. Hard work isn't necessarily bad, but it's not ideal to have to do it when you might well get injured doing it to the point that you cannot do it any more.

That's why they tried to balance her out with Walz, which was a pretty good plan except that they then campaigned to the middle class and ignored the poor. The middle class was already sufficiently educated to reject Trump to the degree that they were going to. They needed the poor to feel like it was worth voting.

Fair!

But doesn't, I think, detract from the point.

Many species' successes depend on parenting.

Powered tracks are great. It might be clever to use a small supercapacitor to allow unpowered sections, though. If I had stability I would be modeling an elevated PRT system just to prove that it's possible, but I really don't. Housing is bananas here.

You think I'm defending Apple?

Either take the bet or don't, I'm not interested in pointing out to you all the examples of the EU courts being unimpressed with malicious compliance.

You first, especially if you are concerned about signal to noise ratio.

There is a better explanation. You make a comment and the cached page is updated to include it, which results in pending moderation being applied to the scores of other comments included in the page.

"patenting AI at this point means patenting statistics or some random collection of data points. "

This is nonsense. They're parenting AI technologies, not "AIs". Models and software are both protected by copyright. Techniques are protected with patents.

The understaffing is caused by the bureaucracy. The AMA has lobbied to make it harder to become a doctor in ways that do not matter for anyone but ER doctors, in order to keep the supply of doctors lower than the demand, to preserve income levels for its members.

That's a typically ignorant take. Darwin said the fittest. Your species instituting care for the disadvantaged is an increase in fitness.

Oh look, you are against freedom of association. What a surprise.

The purpose of the judgement is to stop discriminatory behavior. I'll bet you a dollar they decide this is that.

Not addressing something written in a post doesn't necessarily mean that the reader missed it.
