I don't think the problem is that everyone else is a moron (though there are a lot of them to be sure), it's that everyone else has a different plan, agenda, goal, technique. So one person who lives and breathes the code is annoyed at other people who may want to get home early, are new to the code, are under a lot of pressure to get it done fast, and so forth. At the work place, should you accuse the employee of being incompetent at the task, or blame the manager for assigning a person without the necessary skills and experience to that task?
I'd love to be able to read all of the last 15 years of a forum-based documentation stream before writing my first line of code too. But it won't happen. You learn how the code works by reading the code, not by digesting the documentation. So it's too bad if we weren't in the crowd of cool kids 15 years old, if you want new generations to write code then you have to stop expecting them to know everything on the first day.
A person tells me "hey, did you go walking today", then I feel guilty, and mumble "ya, I probably should." A device tells me "hey, you didn't walk enough today", then I say "screw you phone, you're going back into my smelly pocket!"
My guess is that if the fitness tracker does make someone feel guilty, maybe they're younger generation that treats devices like people, or their devices are an integral part of their concept of "the real world"?
True, but it's really hard to go up to the top boss at your organization and say "here are the rules you must follow!" In the state department, good luck if you're allowed within 100 yards of the top boss. In other words, she may not necessarily have had it drilled into her in the same way that would happen with a junior executive. Remember also, that IT was a new concept for the government at that time, it was relatively new even in a some corporations.
It's a mountain being made out of a mole hill. Mistakes were made though. But because there are people who are utterly 100% convinced that Hillary personally ordered many assassinations on various people, they want this to be the smoking gun, the AHA! moment (similar to multi-year investigations into Bill that only turned up a single act of lying about an affair under oath but which resulted in an AHA!! moment). I don't like Hillary, but sheesh after 24 years it's time to give up and admit there aren't any bodies to be found. If the opposition wants her to lose the election they'd do much better with straight forward campaigning.
How do I delete the download? I got the alert about installing it this morning, then only saw this news this evening, so it may have already downloaded and I want to clear this out before it gets backed up onto my time machine.
There's not a lot of people period. Mankind is able to do great things - when there's money to be made. Remove the profit motive though and most of mankind stops caring. Though occasionally fear is a motivator (oh noes, the Russians are going to be on the moon first!).
Counter examples though. The first major cellular phone infrastructure was up in running in northern Sweden and Finland, with not a lot of people. Although the people did have a higher than average standard of living, probably wouldnt have gotten the same start if it was intended only for the Sami minority.
It's one of the major criticisms when STL was introduced. It's based on templates and not objects. You can't easily subclass a template, and definitely not STL containers. STL doesn't fit into most definitions of OOP, academic or not.
When have we ever had reliable service of ANY kind, especially with entertainment? Broadcast TV is out regularly. Cable TV is unreliable, the scheduled times of programs are regularly interrupted for trivialities like football, power outages affect everyone, etc.
There's a lot of this happening in Russia. Anyone anywhere displeases Putin and there's a hack or DDOS soon after. So it's likely either Trump fans are learning from the Putin fans, or else the Putin jugend are involved.

There is no important reason to automatically download updates. You're basically throwing out the dirt with the bathwater.
I would like to see one month with Shkreli leading 4chan. Purely for the entertainment value. Then when we've had a good laugh, then let it fold.
Same rationale in the 40s and 50s maybe, why supply phone service to rural areas where they are too stupid to live in the cities?

But when the US controlled it, it was controlled by a country that did not protect freedom of speech and which routinely infringes upon it.
So it militarizes it. Then what? There's so extremely little power there.
Because there's an election coming up. Frighten the citizens, collect votes, profit.
Within US control there is no guarantee it won't be used for political purposes!
The reason other countries distrust us is because of experience.
True, some countries are even better at free speech.
And the US is going to do the right thing if it was in control? I doubt it, we don't know how to do anything that isn't in our own selfish interests.
We already have so much stuff under ITA, which is UN. So why not ICANN? And it's not the friggin internet, it's just one part of DNS domain.
STL isn't OOP though, and is no disadvantage if you can't use it.

I noticed it wasn't working. But I was tired so just went to youtube for awhile and turned my brain off. By the time it woke up netflix was back.
The average "I don't follow politics or world events but I love reality TV!" voters are going to be voting in force.

"Mommy, I want to grow up to be president!"
"Don't say that, now go wash your mouth out with soap!"
The citizens get the democracy they deserve.
