If we are going to put rulers on the money, we are no better than those we fought to get away from
Sorry, can't agree with that statement. We can be better than those we fought to get away from, even with recognizing those who put forth great effort to do so, and remain so.
There was an earlier Slashdot post about how Apple wants people to buy new devices and software on a regular basis, but the most popular comments were about how old software is the best, and that there's never a reason to update it, so long as the software is doing what you got it for in the first place. Now there's this article in which the solution to the problem is to update the software. Oh, what am I supposed to think?!
Well, if we get to the point were half of the men are either gay, or prefer a sexbot for a companion, bigamy is going to become the norm. If society has a 2:1 ratio of women to men wanting to be with actual women, that's just what's going to happen. In that instance a man knows that he'd better remain worthy of a wife (or two), or his woman will just walk off and get hooked up with another man; because in some sense no good man will ever be unavailable. Thereby getting him stuck with just sexbots for the rest of his life.
Once bigamy becomes common enough, and everyone will have been born into a bigamous relationship, it'll be even more acceptable to just leave an abusive man and find a good one. Women who have a good man will realize that they shouldn't prevent others of the sisterhood to enjoy the happiness they're enjoying, just because they got to the nice man first.
Women have had sexbots for the history of humanity; they're the other half of the species.
I had the misfortune to eat at an Applebee's not too long ago. They had this.
I haven't been to an Applebee's in a while. But now you've motivated me to go. If I can go to a restaurant and avoid the wait staff, that's the kind of restaurant I'm willing to go out of my way to patronize.
So, how does this now play for Apple, who banked on their phones being secure as a selling point?
I am unaware of anyone who purchased an iPhone because of security. Not one.
At most, anyone would think "Probably doesn't leak my personal data as much as a phone made by Google." But that would be the extent of their thinking.
I know that they don't see that. It took me a while before I picked up on it. That's the genius of it. If instead of teaching Pre-Algebra you told the students "You get a year off of math, and we're going to do programming instead. Which is totally not math. I promise, it's a break from math." Most kids are going to cheer. It's a sneaky way to let math concepts sink in without the mental barrier of "Math is hard, and I'm not good at math".
The other is a real estate agent who spent a ton marketing her name before getting married. The latter almost decided not to marry because of the issue.
She can always go by her maiden name professionally.
And if you look at no-so advanced mathematics taught in school, it is blatantly obvious that most people cannot benefit from any coding "skills" at all, because they never learn them well enough.
What's holding a lot of students back from learning Math in school is that they never get to apply the Maths. They never get their hands dirty with it. But programming will allow them to do that, and a lot of Math concepts click, once you've done some programming. Programming in school is to shore up the foundation of the Math that's already being taught.
Except that most jobs involving computers don't require any programming.
That's going to depend upon your definition of programming. Yes, it probably won't involve compiling C, to create binaries; but at some point the person who gets the computer to do something which it hasn't done before, for that business, is going to be considered to be 'programming' the computer. And knowing how different kinds of programming works, will help inspire lots of people at different levels, on what is even possible.
Our non-protectionist policy's are more effective diplomatic and aid tools than sealing ourselves off from the rest of the world and hoping that USAID donations will pull the third world into prosperity.
This only makes sense if the number of jobs which use computers to solve problems is limited. Thus far, the reality seems to be that it's growing exponentially.
the huge Wii U LCD/controller seemed like a solution in search of a problem to me.
Did you see the announcement video for it? The President of Nintendo talked about how their goal with the successor of the Wii was to get all of the members of the family interacting with each other, instead of everyone living in their own little bubble (ie, staring at the small screen in their hand). What amazed me by that, is that Nintendo solved that problem with the Wii. Some of the best times on the Wii is spent with four people all holding one cheap controller, looking at the same spot, or at each other as they perform silly actions to accomplish the games task. Then when they introduced the Wii U GamePad, they all of a sudden made one person to be different than the others, and in their own little bubble. They already had the solution to the problem they claimed they were trying to solve, and then ran backwards.
What does this give over the existing protocols, other than using TLS?
SMTP has a problem where the optional "I want a TLS connection" bit can be stripped out. Some ISP's (name Verizon) are known to do this. So if a non-SMTP protocol is used in the first place, the ISP can't strip out the optional bits.
What is so wrong with getting people to use a standard like S/MIME
From earlier Slashdot posts I remember people sharing experiences of having their entire team using S/MIME, but then when Android came out, it didn't support S/MIME, so everyone turned it off and nobody noticed. The idea behind S/MIME is that if I receive an email from castionsosa and it has a little badge next to it, I can be assured that it's from castionsosa, and if the badge isn't there I'm supposed to be suspicious. Guess what, no humans notice when the badge isn't there; so S/MIME isn't solving the problem it was meant to solve. If anything an end user is annoyed by having the odd email having a badge displayed in the client.
My work laptop is too thin for an RJ-45. I have a USB to Ethernet dongle when I want the net connection to be wired. So RJ-45 is fine. There will be adapters for whatever connection smaller devices need.

I've seen that one.

Give it up, and migrate all of your notes to OneNote.

I need to transfer it to OneNote. If I don't, it's nearly hopeless to recall later where I wrote it down.

and programmers are gaining more experience
But there's a constant influx of new programmers with no experience.
ability to create customer satisfaction while pursuing a short sighted focus on quarterly numbers.
But what if this both increases customer satisfaction, and results in an increase of quarterly numbers for the long term?

If legislature can create laws which interfere with prosperity, it makes sense that the correct laws do do a lot for prosperity.
And there's a huge question as to whether you can order a company or a person to do work like that for free.
So you are saying that if the government paid prevailing value for doing the work, then it would be okay?
When they unlocked it and started looking through the files, and realised there was feck all of interest on it
The FBI even said that was the most probable scenario, but nonetheless wanted a thorough investigation.

but what makes you think that it's a safety concern?
Because when it came up in Washington state, when anyone I talked to who was for the labeling their concern was always "Isn't GMO food less safe?"
