I think native English to Mandarin or vice versa is a pretty hard path, almost everything is different. If it's any comfort, a billion or so people already learned Mandarin, but there are also a lot of people born in China who don't speak Mandarin all that well either.
Of course it is to thwart law enforcement. The FBI likes to pretend that it is trustworthy, history says otherwise. And of course, the US government is not the only "law" enforcement involved. Meanwhile we have yet to see a case they could not prosecute because of data on the iPhone, on the contrary we've only seen them trying to crack iPhones as a side note to an already established case just in case there is something relevant on there.
It actually flew out the window when they interpreted the interstate commerce clause to mean anything the owner might at some point in the future sell over state lines.
That's an odd thing to say. Perhaps the driver for this is the desire of tractor makers to limit use. Sorry Mr Farmer, you need to pay for this broadband since your tractor will not work unless it can phone home over wifi every five minutes.
There is nothing in TFA about shutting down farms. The closest we get is:
Chinese authorities outlined proposals this week to discourage bitcoin mining -- the computing process that makes transactions with the cryptocurrency possible. Officials plan to limit the industry’s power use and have asked local governments to guide miners toward an “orderly” exit from the business, people familiar with the matter said.
In other words the miners have plenty of time to move operations elsewhere, which seems to be what is happening judging by the rest of the article.
Given how much effort the various platforms (ad and social) put into researching how to maintain and develop 'engagement' it isn't any surprise that younger minds would be susceptible before they have a chance to develop defense mechanisms.
I think there is sort of a Gresham's Law (bad money drives out the good) in play on the Internet. "Bad users drive out the good ones" or something like that. The early visions of the Internet as a democratizing global community are still in play to an extent, but the dreamers ignored the tragedy of the commons that is inevitable. I think a lot of people are withdrawing into closed systems because they do not want to deal with all the trolls and assorted other Internet beasties.
They are probably going to better managed and higher paying jobs as contractors doing the same work for the NSA. Just without all the annoying crap that an actual federal agency has to deal with. And there is this from TFA:
Although the departure rates are low, compared with attrition levels in the civilian technology industry
This. My first thought was, how many sharks freeze to death every other time we have very cold weather? This isn't the first time it has ever been this cold in that area. From what the article gives, this might even be a pretty light year for shark freezings.
More secure isn't the same as perfect security and no one claimed it was, so your approach of taking one failure and concluding that the whole model isn't any better than the previous one fails the logic test. Unfortunately, since browsers are so capable and widely used, a browser extension is essentially just an additional application with all the threats that confers. If you install a crappy extension, you will get crappy results. The defense is to vet your browser extensions as carefully as you do your applications. P.S. all the Firefox extensions I use work fine on the new model.
Were these notions of computing successful because they were the best ideas? Or just because they were early enough to be adopted and fill the niche? Someday, aliens might come to Earth and show us their PCs, and we will facepalm and wonder why we didn't think of that.
By all means, feel free to go over there and learn one or more of these languages. I'm not clear how else you expect to realize your imperialist vision of 'keeping these languages alive', unless you mean forcing someone else to learn them.

I guess people are catching on to just the 'you have a virus' popup, so now they try to convince you there is a virus first.
PCs have mostly hit the 'good enough' point, there is no value in replacing them as frequently as in the past.
Are they going to stop sending me an email every day begging me to log in if I go on vacation for a couple weeks? It smacks of desperation.

Is 10 percent "at most" supposed to be reassuring?

What do you mean? Radio waves are well known to travel in zig zag patterns

We need it for our tractors

They can still buy and use cheap ASICs, just have to ship them outside China.

That because 'it kept climbing' is stable, so there was no reason to have issue with the stability.

Does my business critical file server count as an "average user"?

Well, the denial only covered chat history, none of the other functions.
OH, uh, wait....
Ergo there must be a lot of creating going on

More and more, the only defense is don't use it and don't have it.

haha oh of course, the taxes. So obvious I overlooked it
