Enderzero posted:that's a good point but those countries also seem to have trouble generating enough workers who can think precisely and creatively. im not a believer in american exceptionalism but there does seem to be something to a larger percentage of americans being able to function independently. in college the chinese and indians in STEM had huge study groups of cheating - there were a few really smart kids up top and then a whole bunch of intelligent kids who nonetheless were unable to complete basic coursework. that may be a cultural thing which could change over time though. it just seems the geniuses are evenly distributed, but the people in the tier below that are disproportionately american. so i guess you're right, the question is when that 1/10 as productive number is reached no field is immune to the saturation of labor. it's really a question of when. see: science, lawyers, etc

jesus this is the most repulsive startup yetquote:Rescue Forensics claims it "archives massive quantities of data from classified advertisement sites specializing in commercial sex ads." It gathers a lot of text, and even more nude and semi-nude photos. Then it turns all that over to the cops. stop snitchin'

If they really wanted that prostitution tracker thing to succeed, just re-index it, then have people subscribe to the list (free subscription!) and it will hand-curate prostitutes for you, and then you pay using the app and they take a cut of it. Prostitutes who don't sign up and pay to be on the list don't get listings or business. Then, in your terms and conditions, you're not providing prostitution services, because you're a technology company

rrrrrrrrrrrt posted:have you interacted with young people recently? most of them are just as loving computer illiterate as my grandma. "average" kids don't have their own tumblr at all, they use poo poo like instagram and snapchat and poo poo that requires zero janitoring. Tumblr's actually way bigger than a lot of people realize. All my coworkers' teen kids have tumblrs, even the dumb ones. I'm not gonna claim that every kid is a computer whiz and yeah I'm sure most of them use it as A Facebook And Instagram Appliance but I feel that the proportion of kids that are computer literate enough to at least know what programming realistically entails and have been exposed to it in some way (though not necessarily wrote something themselves) is much higher than you seem to think, and way way higher than even a few years ago.

I'm in the office around 35-40 (never over) but i routinely have to answer emails and poo poo after hours but those are usually fwd to the appropriate person or say "will check tomorrow" or something since we have a euro office that will get a lot of mileage out of a quick reply instead of wasting a day. but they don't return that to us.
