Contrary to popular belief, a certificate isn't a government ID. All it means is that whoever claims to be www.whatever.tld is actually www.whatever.tld, and that no man in the middle attack is happening.

Unlike real weapons, these weapons can be multiplied easily. Try that with a tank.
That alone should mean that these "virtual guns" are under a tighter control. Even a nuke can only detonate once, but one such "weapon" can be used all over the globe billions of times.
The problem with code is that you can only fake it so far. In the end, you'll at the very least have to know how to connect the things you copy/pasted from the net in a way that does what it should.
Take a look at the train sleeping cabins. Sometimes you can get sleeper cars for less than the plane ticket and unlike on the plane you sleep in something like a rolling hotel room.
HAWKEYE: Colonel, about the sniping POTTER: We’re doing all we can. I’m working at my desk and Radar’s scared. B.J.: And that’s all? POTTER: I can work twice as hard, if you like. Radar, can you be twice as scared? RADAR: No problem, sir.
Ok. Different angle. Think of a subject at school that you had no interest in. Now imagine you could only land a job where this subject exactly is what you need. Do you think you could pull it off with what you "learned" at school? Or didn't you really learn anything at all about it and just did what you had to do to get a passing grade and forget everything about it as fast as you possibly can?
Listening to me spewing the bitter truth is like eating drain cleaner. It sure has a cleansing effect, but it leaves you with an empty, hollow feeling inside.
Knave thinks how he is, and he thinks that things are everywhere the way they are with him. BA is something you can cram. You can rote learn BA (and law) without really missing much or not "getting" it. It would actually make much more sense to force people to do this. But who's stupid enough to devalue their own degree, right?
Business administration is something you can do by the book and get by on it. Programming is unfortunately something you have to understand to do it right.
I am absolutely with you if you want to give everyone, independent of their race, gender, upbringing, social situation, financial situation or any other inequality you could find, literally EVERYONE the same chance to learn a subject. I want everyone to have absolute equal chance to learn, to study, to master a field and to apply for a job. And I want to see people who reject students or applicants based on race, gender... ANY kind of reason. EXCEPT professional qualification.
But, and this is the caveat here, at the same time I do now want to see anyone being accepted based on race, gender... or any kind of reason EXCEPT professional qualification! I want a person that wishes to work with or for me to be the best person for this job. As far as I am concerned this can be a green-yellow fifth-gender (turned eigth-gender) polka dotted alien from planet Zrbit. I care for the qualification of an applicant. Not his/her/their/insertpronounhere race, gender, upbringing, selfidentification or whatever else is a way to pigeon-hole people today.
Programming is still a skill set that requires the fitting mindset. You have to want to program to do it right. And nobody has any use for people doing it wrong. Not today, and even less so in the future when "it compiles, ship is" is no longer going to cut it due to competition.
How many people learn stuff today in school that they will never ever use again? I, for example, had to learn French and business administration. Never used either in a professional setting because neither is anything that interests me. I had to learn it because it was part of the curriculum and all it really did for me was to take away valuable time I could have used to learn something I actually need.
What will forcing pupils to learn "coding" really mean to the professional programming world? Nothing. Nothing at all. Those that are interested in it will learn it. They would have learned it anyway. Those that are not will not. They will somehow squeeze by, just like i did in French and BA, with rote learning, memorizing patterns, learning to the test, cribbing from those that do understand that shit and if everything fails cheating. They will eventually get a "passing" grade and immediately forget everything they learned about it, and with a hint of (bad) luck loathe it enough that you couldn't pay them to ever touch anything resembling coding again.
Why does everyone think that forcing kids to learn something means anything? Think back to your school days. There certainly were some subjects you had exactly zero interest in. Well? What did forcing you to learn that shit accomplish? Do you remember anything, and if, enough to actually go into a profession that requires you to know anything about it?
I have a rock here, it protects you from tiger attacks. I have never been attacked by a tiger, since I had that rock.
Aside of that, no. The airline industry would not disintegrate. Traveling by plane is about as uncomfortable, as inconvenient, as cumbersome and as fucked up as it ever was. Especially when traveling to, from or in the US. I honestly don't know a single person who enjoys it. Not one. Anyone who can somehow avoid traveling by air already does so. People willingly replace air travel by train or even bus if at all possible. We do have airport bombings, which is pretty much the same deal as far as travelers are concerned since they have to go through airports to get to planes. And still people travel by plane.
People already don't want to travel by plane. They pretty much have to.
The message is what is received, not what it sent. If you explain the difference between a raisin and a grape ten times to a monkey, he will still not give a fuck and eat them both.

And it will mean total job security for the foreseeable future!

In fact, there are many many things in school that kids don't want to learn but are nevertheless valuable for them to have learned.
What? How to bullshit the teacher into letting you off the hook even though you're lazy? You can learn that in the military too.
You needn't care about big O. Unless you deal with large databases. Everything else you can simply throw more CPU power at.

I gladly would. They may even take all the data with them.
Provided I get to choose which computer they take from me.
Good that they're with the government, or this might be illegal.
Apparently not if you consider privacy important.
Ok. So I'm awake. This changes what exactly?
Reminds me of MASH
HAWKEYE: Colonel, about the sniping

Those with an IQ above room temperature do.
But they are also the ones that can have actual jobs.

Cobol is a great programming language if you prefer writing sermons instead of code.
And I want to see people punished who reject students or applicants based on race, gender... ANY kind of reason. EXCEPT professional qualification.
Sorry. It's time for a coffee break, it seems.
Equality != equal numbers.

TL;DR variant: Equal opportunity for everyone - yes. Quotas - no.
Do not fear.

Hey! That's how jobs are created.
Or at least vacated.

What would happen is that the cat gets replace by another cat that looks identical and it continues.
