AT&T is not giving an "alternative". Google doesn't track your Internet usage except for general network maintenance, any good ISP does this. Google will track your Google TV usage, but they don't resell that to 3rd parties without consent unless the data is anonymized and sold as aggregate statistics and not personalized.
It's not theft if you gave them the money, they're just choosing to not do business with you. They're not "stealing" anything you have, they're just keeping what you gave them and are refusing to do business with you.
I think the last time I heard of people getting sick at a restaurant was 20+ years ago. Typically I'm not worried about getting sick, I just want to get decent food for a decent price.
They can do what they want, just as any other business can do with their property.
You over simplify. Can banks just decide to not do business with you and keep your money? There are also laws against discrimination because a business can't just do anything it wants with its property, like put up a sign that says "No Blacks or Jews".
But you are correct about the main premise of your argument, the 1st Amendment applies to the Government or other government regulated entities like common carriers.
You seem to have mixed up a few things, but I'll just focus on the main argument of a boycott. Those only work when you have a roughly equivalent alternative, and you speak as if there is no cost to not using Steam, when many users have a large investment that they'd be walking away from.
The logic you use is similar to that who is suicidal. I want to hurt you by hurting me.
"The Cloud" is typically in reference to a resource pool where you don't care about "servers", you just care about resources. The GP seemed to be using the term a bit more generically to indicate that there is no "Steam server" that you connect to, just some notion of "Steam".
At my job, they cross train people a lot. If you show promise, you can get into some decent positions. That being said, when they hire from outside the company, they're going to look for the exact skills they want.
Driving a car is like riding a bike, eventually you can do it with no thought what so ever. Lots of Cerebellum. Real programming actually requires thought. Then you have the whole issue of security. Anyone can be a great artist!
There's an immense amount of busywork that gets done because people can't write a bit of special purpose code for themselves.
People writing code for themselves is dangerous. I would say that a good 20% of the time, excluding simple things like sorting or searching for a specific bit of info, they get wrong data. You're better off with no data than wrong data. People who don't know what they're doing write code, get an answer, don't know why they got an answer, but think they do, then use that information
Most people don't learn how to think, they just learn more knowledge from books or experience. A lot of "smart" people that I have met have issues with hypothetical situations. You say something like "assume this is true..", and they respond with "that isn't true" or "we don't know if that's true", and they get hung up on that. Just high functioning computers, great memory, but that's about it.
In college, they thought me the customer is never to be trusted. It is your job to figure out what they need, not what they want. Obviously someone failed to analyze the needs. Easier said than done, right?
Wayland is how you display images, what happens on the backend is entirely the responsibility of something else. RDP is simple as making a "producer" that interfaces with Wayland.
L2 cache has mechanisms to be read from outside, but L1 does not. L1 is internal to the CPU, and unless they add back doors, it'll be extremely hard to dissect a CPU and use an electron scanning microscope to read the data from the L1 cache. The other issue is cache uses SRAM, which does not use capacitance capacitance to store data like DRAM. Once power is lost, the data goes with it nearly instantly instead of slowly draining.
Goto can be better than the alternative of a bunch of 3 line functions. There are a small number of situations where attempting to not use goto makes the code harder to read.
There may be a better pattern, but in a few cases, I found Goto a lot easier to read than 20 layers of nested If statements. Essentially a situation where you have a pipeline of code doing one stage at a time, but you need it to immediately stop if any one of those stages did not work.
Not to mention all conditional statements and loops are just a subset of goto. Try writing some ASM.
By their definition of "rape", if my wife had a glass of wine on our anniversary then wanted to get frisky, I would be raping my wife. Many "feminists" also hold this view. Some even go as far as to say all forms of sex between men and women is rape, and these are women with lots of money and power.
Why are kids still learning to write in 4th grade? I was already done learning cursive by 1st grade. About 1/2 through 1st grade, the teachers required all book reports to be done in cursive. By 2nd grade, we were allowed to hand in printed/typed reports if we had access to a printer or typewriter.
Here I thought Cali was a bit more progressive than the South. One of my mom's friends moved down South and found out how great the education was down there when her kid in Jr high was learning stuff that he already learned in early middle school up North.
School really is just a place to baby sit children, they obviously are not learning much. And to think I went to a poor school with few resources.
28%?! As a single income, I make more than the average house hold income and my tax rate is closer to 1%, default deductibles. It's hard to believe that "most" Americans pay 28%.
Like great artists, great programmers program because they have to. Everyone else can shove off and stop messing with what I love. If you really want to program, nothing will stop you, who cares about the rest.

If fraudulent posts reduces the value of Yelp, they have grounds to sue, EULA or not. I would think Yelp has a fighting chance with a jury.

Cursive = writting no one writes in type. So what you're saying is why teach writing when only reading and typing is needed?

According to many, resumes are a horrible way to hire people, but a great way to limit the number of people you wish to interview.

Filling a room with 50% girls is quite different from filling a room with girls who really want to be there and were not tricked.

I wouldn't mind more marketing to get girls interested, but don't spend more in-class resources on girls.
