Uhuh, sure... the really assertive and organized people will make it work.
The rest can be abused, at the very least the first year. You can not honestly tell me that whole layered client/vendor/consultant shit which grew up around H1Bs is not an evil clusterfuck.
Lets make it interesting... how about an employer running a wedding photography business, who has an employee who suddenly finds religion but who knew at the time of his hiring what he was getting into when signing his contract.
Can that employer fire him with cause? Maybe, maybe not... depends on how courts will interpret "but not limited to".
For civil servants though things are a lot more clear cut... have fun with civil servants turning orthodox jew refusing to do a ton of shit and working with women and becoming even more useless than your average civil servant.
What goalpost? I asked how many of the exploits could be blamed on C (language features). How many exploits can be blamed on another language (feature) is an interesting discussion... but it's entirely orthogonal.
I agree... implicit typing and functional programming introduce new failure modes. In fact I would argue they're both mistakes, no one is good enough to not be frequently caught out by implicit typing and only superstar programmers can internalize the compiler enough to have an idea of execution flows with functional programming.
Presenting an implicitly typed multiparadigm language as the alternative is strawmanning though.
He was caught on the prison phone while conspiring to hide assets from seizure before his sentencing... he kinda proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he needed the supervision, also that he is a bit of a moron.
The structuring laws are a bit insane, but this case is the exception to prove the rule where they were justified.
Because plasma doesn't mirror very well... but if you have say a rotating rocket this effect is going to be much reduced with a continuous wave laser, you probably won't get to the evaporation temperature necessary to really get the ball rolling.
I think for use against rockets you're going at the very least need a hybrid pulse/continuous system... with the pulses doing only superficial damage but destroying the mirroring properties of the metal shell so the power from the continuous laser will actually be absorbed.
Fish gutters are more impressive than simply doing portioning with straight cuts... but these machines have years to earn their costs.
For mobile phones you'd be designing new manipulators all the time, we don't have something as generic as the human hand which can work magic with relatively simple tools. We'll get there, but not in 3 years.
Technology creates new fields, but it's the trickle down effect (mediated through the market or through government) allowing increased consumption which creates the jobs.
Last time I looked there was no application of ANNs which couldn't be solved more efficiently by other algorithms... and the best ANNs used spiking neurons with Hebbian learning which are not amenable to efficient digital implementation.
I think living standards is a better word for the ability to consume. I count wealth in m2, not in the ability to consume. Land generates rent... iPhones do not. When land ownership shifts to the top, government has to make up the difference through redistribution to not let everything snowball up.
IMO we have been able to improve median living standards through increasing government redistribution... do you disagree? If not, are you willing to let that redistribution continue to increase?

The high RPM SAS drive business is just kept running to supply a few left over suckers ...
What that intrinsic value might be is anyone's guess.
My guess, the price of gold denominated in rolls of toilet paper will plummet by multiple orders of magnitude if society collapses ...
Bitcoin doesn't need centralized power, but it does allow it ... and has created it.
You use bitcoin at the mercy of the majority miner.
You need fiat money to pay taxes, there are people with guns who make you pay taxes.

My conclusion is that the unicode guys are assholes.
PS. there are parents who actually do this it seems.

You can just let the kids wear reading glasses.
AFAICS the TV can't be a problem unless you are sitting down right in front of it, anything beyond a couple of meters is near infinity focus.

Are the majority of exploits due to bugs which would be trivially detected at compile time let alone runtime in a modern language as usual?

Infinity times.
Were your ideas relevant 10 years ago? Or did you perceive some problems which are only becoming relevant now?
We don't have our wealth stashed in numbered bank accounts ... although I think if it was the IRS which wanted the money they'd have it by now.
Yes, the relevant genes aren't going be expressed much ... but nothing a little selective pressure couldn't fix in a hurry.
Only as long as the transfer payments increase, yet neo-liberalism seems to be growing more virulent rather than retreating ...

Making it more difficult for modern coders to quickly compose SQL queries could be considered a valuable feature ...
