Ok more to the point. A product cost more than the sum of its parts. Even if you are a not for profit. Selling it at cost is still more than the sum of the cost of the parts.
The fear of the civilization ending EMP is greatly over exaggerated. Sure it could be a major problem. However it won't lead to the dystopian future.
Because we humans seem to know how the technology we made works. So we can rebuild it. Also there will not 100% destruction. I have seen equiptment struck by lightning. And suffered only partial failures. (A network rack where the Upper ports may not work.).
In short such an event would knock mankind back 2 months.
Ok you got the parts cheap. Then you need to put it together. Then you need to package it. Then you need to advertise it. Then you need to ship it. You have to pay taxes on your profit. You need to pay for the people managing this process. If there is a failure rate you will have returns that you need to refund.
All in all you are probably up to $30-$40 for a unit. This is still a good price, but it is comparable to a Raspberry Pi.
The problem that I see is so many people are stuck in their political ideology. And put the same faith in it as they would in a religion. (Sometimes causing confusion on what started their stance) So they will not try to comprehend what they are saying, and jump to the worst case scenario and show how stupid the idea was. We are taking the headlines and establishing them as truth or fiction. We are not reading an article to get the actual facts.
I got a headline that Obama policy is causing X to increase where it was suppose to decrease. I am Lucky enough to have access with the actual data, so I crunched the numbers and found no change. I read the article it was based on a poll on if they felt it is more or less then before. So they are reporting on feelings not actual data.
If I would have Mod points. FreeBSD was/is a good alternative to Linux. It was more mature... However AT&T legal stuff made it a little more risky to go in the direction of Unix. But Linux wasn't Unix, but it was enough like Unix to get the advantage.
Not to mentioned, that New York is an aged Metropolis. The ones in Europe, were ravaged by Two World Wars so they were rebuilt with more modern technology. The ones in other parts of the world are much newer.
So what will happen would be the non-unionized organizations will be using these to cut costs, if they are more affordable than a unioned shop, the unionized shop will go out of business.
In the past good middle class jobs consisted of skills that just aquired attention, and following a process. This type of stuff computers and robotics excel at. Leaving jobs for humans to focus more around creative skills, or just the fact that our bodies are rather multi-purpose.
We really fail to quantify the value of creativity (So creative jobs rarely get the status it deserves), and manual labor there is always such a large supply of people that it keeps the prices down.
Well there is more than that. Complaints towards an organization are often based on a Generalization. Yes they are good cops, however there may be enough Bad Cops to make a generalization that Cops are bad, and should be avoided.
Sure if you are a good cop, this seems like an insult. But it is a generalization.
I am going to nitpick... Because Science coverage has been abused by the word Theory.
These are not Theories, but Hypothesis, once you are able to test these idea, then you get the Theory out of it.
Global Warming is a Theory. There have been mountains of test to show its validity. Health Problems with GMO is a Hypothesis, it is a guess that needs further investigation.
Other countries are spying on us too, including our allies.
Proper Intelligence can be used for peace too. If we don't know what the other people are up too, we can take public rhetoric out of context and consider it threatening.
I think it is in terms of observations. The Rock Stars, the company will go out of its way to try to keep them The under performers, will just stay at the same place as they have a hard time getting a job elsewhere. So the organization has the long timers as the Rock Stars or the Under performers. The middle people will often stay there for a few years and move on. So they are in flux, and that makes it hard for our observations to see the middle ground, as the majority.
The communities are just following the stupidity of the political view points. Can we frack in your community? Sure... However we want our water quality (including well water, checked once a month at your expense, for as long as the pumps are active and 10 years after. (This is relatively inexpensive demand). If there is a problem with water quality that has changed sense fracking. Then you need to supply us with clean water for 150 year or until the water quality returns.
If your method is as safe and clean as you state, then you shouldn't have to worry about it.
If you reuse code, you get rollover bugs. If you start over from scratch you get brand new bugs.
Reusing the code, you have a lot of the issue from the past already fixed, so you are not introducing bugs that you had in the past. Making new code, you can modernise the code set, so you don't run into particular troubled code, and is easier to follow.
Programmers are human beings, they make mistakes, they can't give 110% every day. Even the best of them will often have a stupid bug, that they can't believe that they had slip.
That didn't seem like a trap at all. Let's put a contest to offend a violent extremest group, and let's place it in Texas, where the kids are taught to shoot a gun before they can read. I guess they could have been less subtitle. They could have had a jihadist entrance clearly marked with a heavy spiked wall, with visible gears.
"He could have very easily come to one of his counselors and asked for help"
Guidance counselors are the biggest wast in the school systems. Either you are Ivy League material and you are smart enough to deal with the rest of the stuff, or they say you should consider vocational training. I remember having to show my guidance counselor how I can make my schedule work. Because she just couldn't do it herself.
So if he went for help what are they going do? Not change his grade, at best you can form a relationship, so she may leave with the computer logged in where you change the grade there.
Big boy games? He was trying to change a high school grade? He didn't realize it was harder to do it then it seems on TV, he probably thought he was some great hacker because he helped with a DDOS. Then he got frustrated so he lit the computer on fire?
This doesn't sound like the actions of an adult. It sounds like the action of a standard undeveloped brain of a teenager. Should he be punished. Yes, probably expelled from school, or in his case forced to take the year over again, and insure his transcripts for his high school tenure give him solid D-'s.
Well gender studies (back in my day it was called women's study) is in general I hate men, see how bad men are and how great woman are. In general when I find people complaining how they are being treated unfairly, it is usually because they are not performing as well as the others.

It is law enforcement's job to try to make catching bad guys easier.
It is up to the community to make sure law enforcement has only what it needs.
American Justice system is based on the ideal, that it is better for a criminal to go scott free, vs. an innocent getting convicted.
However we let fear of criminals take over, so we want the bad guy caught, even at the expense of our own freedoms.

No, I wasn't. I am more concerned about the quality of Science Reporting.

Ok... The article should be "Ubuntu 15.04 is well received by users who do not fall on the autism spectrum."
Ubuntu has been the consumer level Linux. If Systemd or Gnome versions is that big of a deal, you probably should pick a different distribution.
I get the impression they were trying to make her a more major character... However she had some personal issues that got in the way.
