Re: Too many paid too much

Seems like there is a movement in China with it's younger workers actually not doing this stressful work anymore.

Re: Throwaway society mentality comes to IT

Lets make a baby in 1 month, lets throw 9 women on the case. It's a pretty sad short term survival mentality out there.

Question asked: Joseph Goebbels coined the term "if you have nothing to fear you have nothing to hide". Does that bother law enforcement? If their argument to search without a warrant is quoting a Nazi, how does that give them the moral high ground over taxpayers?

Everyone has something to hide. But, that’s another story.

I would be more concerned about your elected scum, called politicians, who use this phrase to justify monitoring the Internet, your phone, and mail, as well as justifying invasive practices on the war on drugs and the war on terror.

For me, I never asked unless I was certain I had a damn good reason. One that would get me a warrant if I asked. In other words, I was giving you a chance to HELP me instead of making me be the bad guy. Being able to say, “Your Honor, he was extremely cooperative and helpful during the incident” could actually get them a lesser sentence or charge if the judge was in a good mood. Hell, I could even overlook some minor shit that didn’t matter (in the real world).

Let’s face it, all governments are evil in a way. The Nazis are just demonized today so that others can look better. Read up on Hitler’s speeches and then compare them to today’s American politicians. Reagan was the last one I heard who spoke against a larger government and didn’t quote Nazis. Since then, including Clinton and Obama, they have used the same old lines and then done whatever the hell they wanted to do once elected. At least Trump didn’t do that. Yet, he’s seen as the worst of them.

Re: No need for a trial

Ahh, I see an optimist amongst us! If the police could only limit their power to such worthy tasks, but alas when you hear terrorist laws being used to enforce bin habits, you should be wary of giving police such powers. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

turning off iusnt like killing it

You know if you Need a general anaesthetic, they put you out with a needle, this doesn't cause you to forget everything, you are "Parked". Same would go with this kind oif technology, turning off would "Park" it, but its state would be preserved by solid storage. Both humans and machines ready to be unparked, ready to fight another day (if all goods well with the I operation!). So yes it is ethical, because you aren't destroying it.
