Sometimes I like to reply seriously to a post that's obviously a joke.

What does "predetermined" mean in this context? It sounds like you're positing hidden variable theories, but those have been categorically debunked thoroughly enough to earn a Nobel prize.

For one thing it's different because there is absolutely no test that can determine whether an individual is high.

More recent studies say there's no amount of alcohol that's not bad for you. But that's really beside the point of this thread.

You know employers don't actually own their employees, right?

Obscurity should never be your only security measure, but it can still play an important role in your overall security strategy. You can and should encrypt anything you're hiding with steganography.

Also, steganography isn't really security through obscurity. That phrase generally refers to things like trying to keep a weak encryption algorithm secret because anyone who knows the algorithm has a huge head start on cracking it. Good crypto algorithms are designed to be secure even when an attacker knows exactly which algorithm was used.

They're people who are effectively above the law, so they don't have to worry about consequences for themselves.

Yeah, it seems weird to me. Give her clothes or don't, but at least commit to something!

Nah, you'd be working similar hours delivering fewer products at a much higher price. Technology benefits your customers and your employer, but unless you're self-employed, it doesn't benefit you, because capitalism and market forces have made it so the benefits of your increased productivity are taken by others.

The reductio ad absurdum of capitalism in a word where technological advancement keeps happening. Making things easy should make life easier, but we've engineered a way for it to make life harder.

This reminds me of a YouTube video a saw recently about Japanese timekeeping before Western clocks became popular. They divides they day into an equal number of daytime hours and nighttime hours, so sunrise and sunset were always at the same time of day. The lengths of the hours varies based on the season, so daytime hours were longer than nighttime hours in the summer and shorter in the winter. People's work schedules were fixed, so they had a much longer work day in the summer than in the winter.

Honestly it sounds great to me. Not for purposes that involve precise measurement, but definitely for things like work schedules and meal times.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Khyber Pass? More like Cyber Pass.

That's a far more even-handed write-up than I was expecting. Most of what I see on Reddit is more like "AMP is evil and Google will use it to sleep with your wife and kick your dog!"
