Apparently they are adults. They had the good sense to diffuse any claim they weren't willing to talk and then to walk out when their point was proven.
CEO's "performance bonus" seems to generally be paid out even if the CEO navigates the company directly into the ice berg.
The people who make a fortune on the deal will all be sure to pull out a chair for him to land in when has gadzillion dollar (pound) golden parachute deploys.
So replace the picture of the actual Times front page with a parody featuring a picture of a warthog shitting on a bed. That might better capture the quality of their journalism anyway.
Except they did. They had the choice at the time the skill was dying out to recognize that it WAS still relevant and to make sure it propagated to the next generation, but they failed to see the coming crisis (gee, we don't actually know how to make these 'lighter' things and who knows when we'll get a new one) and so let the opportunity to head off losing fire as a tool pass them by.
The fact that it was a skill is what is irrelevant, the condition of lacking that skill is what mattered.
If that's not clear enough, I can't help you further.
It also doesn't rise to the level that it's mentioned as an advantage for telecommuting. Not even for the 3 dozen fringe wackos that protested Curiosity.
While I acknowledge that they stay barely onb the legal side of the line, I maintain that ethically they are little better than the wise guys selling "accident insurance".
Even if you are within the law, you can behave like a businessman or you can behave like a thug. BMI and their ilk behave like thugs running a shakedown racket. That includes incidents of trying to hit people up for money fro performing their own original songs on their own property.
In this case, it looks pretty clear that if the restaurateur had shown up in court, he would have won.
People want an attempted computer intrusion to look like The Matrix combined with William Gibson novels combined with red alert klaxons and people in military uniforms running around in a war room. They want it to be free, fool proof, and not require them to know or remember anything.
What bollocks is that? What has an RTG in space to do with a nuclear (fission) reactor on earth?
Nevertheless, a bunch of fearful and uninformed people vigorously protested Cassini and it's RTG. Sky is falling, something something we're all going to die!
Stick with command line utilities. Make and compiler on the command line have been around forever. Avoid IDEs with opaque 'project' files and do not let any sort of automake or autoconfig anywhere near it. Keep your Makefile simple and to the point.
Thaty way, at least you have the worst-case option of porting forward to a new build system should all else fail. THEN archive the whole thing inside a VM. Use raw disk images rather than a proprietary something that may or may not be supported 25 years from now.
If they only scanned the faces of known criminals, I might agree with you. But that's not even possible.
Public places typically offer the privacy of being a face in the crowd. Nobody there sees YOU, they see "some person" they don't know. Tomorrow they won't remember you at all. Now, tomorrow you'll be part of a police database and who knows what they might do with the data.

Perhaps we need a site where you upload your selfies and other pictures and the recognition looks for congress critters with people not their spouse.

What crazy places do you deal with where the receptionist's desk is in a public street and food is served?
And if you've never heard of them, why are you talking to the receptionist in her official capacity?
Exactly, and this way the PR machine can't believably claim that privacy advocates somehow signed off on the results.

It turns out those are fine as long as you don't try to eat butter breaded and fried in lard.
As opposed to a program to database the TPS reports and correlate them with the day of the week and sales of rice in China?
Get off my lawn you damned kids!

I have managed that just fine so far.

Just like it was the Mob's hooch to sell...
Yet it isn't correct to claim there is no opposition or protest. I had hoped the tone of my post would have indicated the minimal significance of it.

Good luck!
Note that driving to work has a higher risk of serious damage/death, yet most people do it 5 days a week without a thought.
Actually, the RTG would have survived had the launch vehicle exploded. It also wouldn't be the first RTG to re-enter the atmosphere.
meanwhile, they missed the boat on the launch, so they protested the Earth slingshot maneuver instead.

And it'll still run faster than when it was the native OS on it's own hardware.
