I think the reasons are different than you mention:
1) Chinese and Indian students are significantly filtered, so that only the very top students can apply to US schools.
2) In order to stay in the US, it is beneficial for foreigners to have advanced degrees; US citizens do not need the advanced degree to stay.
3) The demand for engineers is high, so many US-born graduates leave school as soon as they can earn a living.
I hate to rub it in like a jerk, but I got mine. Two years ago, in Austin, GFBR announced and TW offered 300Mbps/20Mbps service for $65/mo. Then, GFBR took forever to roll it out, so TW raised the price fo $75 and then $95/mo. I downgraded to 200M/20M and bought my own modem to keep the price to $80/mo. Now GFBR is here and I get 1000/1000 for $70/mo. TW keeps sending me offers to come back... sad.
Some people like to accomplish things, but very few people are artisans just waiting to be free from financial obligations. Have you seen the stuff people do in internet videos? I think your assumptions are dangerous and lacking in real world experience.
The Civil Rights Act fundamentally changed the role of government in people's lives. I think the goals were noble, but the result hasn't been successful. I don't see blacks and whites living together peacefully just because of some law. Furthermore, it really impinges on people's freedom even if they are wrongheaded, which is why I think he would want it gone.
Nothing is static in this world. If voters complain, things will change. You just have to convince enough of them that you are correct. Too bad they won't have access to your website and social media to know about you.
I want it. Maybe I am not a current gun owner, but have small kids. Maybe I live in a safe area so the likelihood of needing a gun is low, but I might still want one in case. Maybe I don't want my kids to accidentally use it. So I can see a need for it.
You can, however, blame ignorant fucktards who don't understand the data OR the theory who go around acting like self-righteous assholes when a scientific theory intrudes on their ideological leanings.
FTFY:

So they all announced upgrades here in Austin: Google first, then AT&T Uverse, and now TWC. But. Nothing has really changed. Everyone has announcements, but the coverage areas are so small and nothing has changed. TWC has made the best annoucment that their 300Mbps service will be available all over Austin, but not yet. They have offered some date in the future that I'm sure will be delayed.
So competition works, but no one is really being that aggressive.
Baloney. What a stupid argument. Here is it, summarized:
1. Here is one mathematical model of a way that memories could work.
2. This method would be computable.
3. But that would mean memories degrade the more you remember them
4. But memories don't degrade the more you remember them.
5. Therefore memories are not computable.
Assignment for the student: find the flaw in this argument.
You cannot blame the theory when the data doesn't match! That is denial-ism!
He said that no one would install new services in a neighborhood that required digging up buried wires. My whole neighborhood has underground utilities, so he suggested that we pay to have fiber installed in our neighborhood and work a deal out with ATT.
I don't think we will be getting it any time soon. However, because of Google and ATT here in Austin, TWC has announced (but not yet delivered) 300Mbps service, so competition does seem to be working.
My school (University of Cincinnati) requires all engineering grads to have 1.5 years of industry experience (co-op) to graduate. That means that you get paid for 1.5 years at a decent rate and likely will have an offer at graduation. Worked great for me, though, it does require a 5 year program to complete. Regardless, you get a solid grasp of the fundamentals and a job.
For me, information, learning, and technology are hobbies. I guess people have different hobbies that don't involve gadgets, which is fine. I was into gadgets long before most; it just seems like smart phones brought technology to more people. Eventually the trend will shift to something else.

So, what should we do about it?

I'm sure this will usher in a new era for Linux desktops!
You could do it in the Costco tire department...
Seems like it would be sensitive to magnetic interference despite the assertion.

I wish I could mod this up.

You haven't met my girlfriend!

1000 vs. 12000? So this "scientist" spends 1/13th of his time writing personal emails? Wow.
"now defunct Russian..." I wonder how Ukraine feels about that...
Huh? I was paid quite well for my co-op time and graduated without debt! You should shop around.

Seems like the world is getting more dangerous and we are spending money on retirees and freeloaders instead. I'm sure this will end well.
you wouldn't need firmware updates.
Look at Mathworks. They have a solution for this.
