You're falsely assuming they want average. They probably want excellent service only. If you want to ensure people only get excellent service, you're going to have to have a harsh cutoff built into the system somewhere.
I suppose this is a problem, but we have to be realistic here. The FBI has failed repeatedly to complete large software projects. They have trouble handling even clear-cut data.

Google's cars already have some social interactions like this built in. If it's at a 4 way intersection with stop signs and people aren't obeying the rules to let it through, it will eventually assert itself just like a human driver would.
Any defensive behavior a human does is programmable. They're all fairly simple when you get right down to it.
This reads like a press release from IEEE-USA. It doesn't sound like they have any clue why the employment numbers have changed, but they want to complain about visas.
There is definitely less risk taking, but there is a big issue of perception. Things just don't seem mind blowing after a while, even if there is tons of work left to be done in that area. You see this again and again: cars got boring, planes got boring, nuclear energy got boring, space flight got boring. Everything gets boring eventually.
Most computing related areas have lost their cultural edge. It's hard to pitch things as being innovative, even if they really are, and have people buy the idea.
I'm going to go ahead and suggest that most people know the message they are sending when they like a page like "Republican National Comittie" or "GAY SEX CLIPs". The whole point of liking it is to 'tell the world'. In fact, if my wall is any indication, that's the ONLY reason people like things. Okay, that and websites that trick them into it.
If you examine Figure 1 in the report, there was a downward slide from 2001-2007 and an increase from 2007-now. That mostly matches what is seen for all majors in Figure 2.
The real story here seems to be the overall education trend, not CS specifically.
That assumes you hit the web page with a browser. I'm sure a lot of robots have examined the page. Some of them probably even made cached copies of the content.
People underestimate how much is spent advertising to them. At one point the New York Times had an article on Facebook that noted you were only worth $5 a year to Facebook, when the NYTimes was getting $1000 annually per subscriber with their "declining" print business.
Would you pay $1000 annually for the New York Times? Probably not. Newspapers used to be very expensive and people rarely bought them. The model of putting ads in them caused a huge surge in sales. The ads were annoying as hell, they didn't cost you anything personally.
There are paid competitors to many Google products. People chose to use free versions with ads instead.
The behavior tracking services that I've seen also anonymize it . They generally require that you use some gibberish ID for the person, or do some sort of ID sync where you tell them what IDs you want to use for each person.
Where you often see a mapping to individual humans is with opt-in databases. Think of the act of signing up for an Amazon account, Safeway card or something similar. You've told them your name and where you live and they know exactly what you've purchased.
You probably get bugs in your food pretty much regardless of what you eat. It's hard to avoid considering how small some bugs are, and the obvious tendency for them to be attracted to food, or other bugs.
The Lua idea doesn't seem to be about making something "unhackable", just easier to code and harder to mess up.
If you directly interact with the kernel, you're going to have a way to cause issues for the user of the system.
What most advertisers do is irrelevant. They can't force everyone else to play fair. All you need to ruin everything is one advertiser who serves up millions of horrible pop ups, autoplay video and viruses. Everyone will be forced to use adblock because of the one jerk.
If they're programmers, they'll get the idea. Pick up a Japanese or Korean programming book and see if you get the idea. You probably will to some extent. They're jam packed with English: Function names, concepts, application names, and so on. People in technical fields have often muddled through multiple user interfaces with English words. They won't usually be as stuck as you might expect.
Any opening into the human body is going to substantially increase risk of infection. It sounds like the tubes on this thing can get clogged easily and I'm not sure what you're expected to do when that happens.
It doesn't sound like a great risk/reward trade off.
Packet forwarding and DPI (deep packet inspection) are essential for multi-service delivery in packet-based networks and NGN environment. It is particularly true when handling multi-service (e.g. IPTV/VoIP) traffic because these applications have strict requirements on jitter, delay and packet loss rate. The functionalities of DPI and packet forwarding enhancement can properly identify different type of traffic so as to provide performance guarantees to allow for time-sensitive applications.
Yep. That sounds deeply sinister. They want to improve your Skype call quality. Those sick people.
This is a straight up manipulation of the labor supply in order to lower prices.
All government schools are manipulation of the labor supply to lower prices. Why do you think factory owners used to back mandatory public education? They needed people who could do things like read and do simple math. They certainly didn't want to spend years training employees in basic skills.
Thanks for the ego trip. The guy obviously talked to a lot of people, some of them surely more knowledgeable than you are. The problem , as me mentions, is that people don't agree on what is a good idea. You seem to be giving questionable advice just like he was given.
Don't use the wattage of refrigerator to determine the energy use . That's the power consumed when its on. The 200W fridges are unlikely to be energy efficient because they have to run constantly to keep up (if they do keep up). Insulation matters too. Look at rated kWh per year. The rates are published.
From his complaints, I can tell knowledge isn't the real issue. Testing performance takes a huge amount of time. You need to simulate other programs running, multiple users and make sure the test matches what real users might do. Generally, this requires writing completely independent test programs and charting the logging from them. People just don't want to go to that kind of effort. It can take weeks just to create proper tests for complex programs like web servers.
