Are there really electrons? Or does observable phenomena simply fit with the theory of electrons?

Yet these clowns happily pay their taxes that end up supporting isreal. What a joke or performative empathy.
Good news is there should be some reqs opening up soon in Google Cloud for people looking for work.
I hope so, these protestors are accepting blood money every time a direct deposit from Google hits their bank account or their stocks vest! Surely they'd want to keep their moral integrity intact and quit if their demands are not met.

Responding to just the headline, as I don't have a NYT account and chose not to bother with paywall workarounds (and I'm not on wifi and chose to pay about $17/mo for mobile service, including taxes and $5 for a gigabyte of data, which I'm both happy and careful with):
No.
No, not unless you include social and cultural engineering, towards a way of life that has worked for us for tens of thousands of years, a way of life with minimal to zero automation, with much of our time spent ensuring shelter, food, and companionship. This is not a bleak proposition to me, nor do I feel blinded by romanticism; such a life closer to the land and water is that much closer to death, but also, in the company of mutually-supportive family (to use the term broadly), entirely meaningful.
I can point you to a sustainability internship in Kenya if you're interested.

Wow, articles about emerging technologies are pushed by people who invest in them? On their blog!? You don't say!
You're probably days down exploring that explanation before the eventual "holy shit" (that I never really had the benefit of experiencing).
