I would posit that this increase is caused by technically minded students seeing what has happened to engineering in the US and focusing on CS as the last viable avenue of technical study with a healthy job market. It's the only place where entry level jobs are readily available. I would find it hard to encourage any young American to pursue a technical career outside of software development. As it stands now, engineering schools largely serve a Chinese and Korean student base.
High speed digital cables do require more expensive manufacturing processes. They all use differential signaling and require length matching and controlled impedance within wire pairs. The manufacturing process is a little more demanding than slapping some wires together willy-nilly. That being said, on high volume products like HDMI the added costs are negligible on a per unit basis and the gold plated $200 fluff is just gouging the ignorati.
You don't need global collaboration. There are privately owned imaging satellites with enough resolution 1m to detect anomalous debris floating around.
There are two ways to implement authentication: Provide a unique token that you have possession of or provide an identifier that you have exclusive knowledge of. Things that you possess can be stolen by taking them (credit card, rfid badge, SecureID). Some things that you possess can't be used universally (fingerprints, iris/retina). Things that you know, however, can't be stolen so long as you keep them in your head. Which is more moronic?
In the case of large organizations like Target, IT expenditures are controlled by management ladder climbers who don't have the knowledge to make the proper decisions on matters that require anticipating "unknowns". If a business case can't be made for spending money on security it gets cast aside because these people are only taught about bean counting in their MBA coursework.
Those are valid points but there are body cameras for emergency and law enforcement workers that can document a security guards interaction with suspicious people if a security guard's employer needs legal indemnification.
You could hire a private security guard for less. It's not like citizens don't have the same arresting powers as police if trespassers had to be dealt with.
Hey man don't knock the stipple. For a long time I used a custom.xconfig to make tools with Athena style scrollbars like classic xterm have a nice gray on white style that would blend together into a solid color on a high res CRT. Add in some scroll wheel support and colored highlighting and that was one bad little terminal emulator.
Search for anything related to microcontrollers. There's plenty of work for people with knowledge of low level hardware. ARM is also taking over as the dominant 32-bit embedded platform for anything the 8-bit micros can't handle. It's not just for running smartphones. While electronics design has largely been offshored there is still a domestic need for people who can customize hardware for specific applications. These jobs are everywhere industrial activity is located which isn't necessarily in systems software havens like the major cities you cited (other than Denver).
The era of coding still exists in embedded software. You can't run elaborate frameworks on memory limited systems and performance limitations will dictate the use of C or assembly.
Reverse engineering is legal in the US. If you only gain knowledge of internal workings and don't reproduce copyrighted or patented code then there are no damages a vendor can pin on you even if it violates a restrictive license. The worse they can do is revoke the license and force your management to select a better vendor.
Don't expect.NET decompilers to faithfully reproduce statements as they were in the original code. What you get is functionally equivalent to the original source but it will have been munged by two tools along the way. It isn't necessarily indicative of bad coding practices. Higher level deficiencies like the SQL processing cited will still be obvious and the tools won't impact poor design decisions.
They made an attempt at MS branded PCs and all the OEMs balked and forced them to shelve the idea. They have similar issues with the Surface lineup. Google has been able to get away with their hardware branding strategy because they didn't have an existing customer base that would object to the competition.
It's also hypocritical since white house administrations use strategic leaks to release information they can't publicly admit to for political reasons.
The "slipped on ice" story is what Atkins' widow wants to promulgate to hide the fact that he died of heart disease. It would be bad for her income stream.

They didn't want you entering anything that wasn't in their set of rainbow tables.

passwords are a moronic concept and need to die

Shame about the global scoping and 1-based arrays.
C/C++ are unmanaged languages, so code written in them tends to be rife with security holes, buffer overruns, and memory leaks.
... when written by Java weenies who don't know how to program without a garbage collector.
None of which explains why it needs executable code and data mapped into the same memory space.

It's a shame the kids these days can't be bothered to plug a computer into the Ethernet drops that were installed in their rooms 20 years ago.

So basically they're going to dumb down the test so that the scores will be higher.

I have many years now working with a development team where we use Ubuntu as both product appliance and infrastructure.
Backend bits are better implemented on Debian. The slow release schedule and more rigorous release testing provide more stability.
It's also hypocritical since white house administrations use strategic leaks to release information they can't publicly admit to for political reasons.
That, folks, is why you never use an ISP provided router. Of course at some point you'll be forced to "upgrade" to a modem with integrated wifi.

She needs to OD on nicotine.
As far as I know only one other person shares my name. Neither of us have a social media presence and I've been asked the prison time question too.
