Yet, the new school curricula across the world have lost focus on hardware and how code executes on it.
Please, describe the time and place where focusing on hardware and how code (I'm assuming assembly) executes on it, was taught in grade school?
Given what's described, it sounds like the kids know more than what they need to know. Given how few people actually ever deal with how hardware executes code, versus more people who are going to need to code (in probably abstract and managed languages), this sounds like going in the right direction.
I guess because it's "conservative" that it's automatically bad.
No, what made it bad is that it's a platform that designed to create echo chambers. In this instance the echo chamber it created got so bad that lives were lost.
What if the point of a CS class wouldn't be to get them a career in IT, but to help with the basics? For many students, Algebra level math and higher remains mystical. Even if they can do it in a homework assignment, it still feels mystical. They're following a series of rules without any understanding. I suspect if they had a CS class, where they could apply those math concepts, instead of one more level of math that they'll never use, a lot of the basics from those math classes will have more context and will feel less mystical.
Why do students learn anything in school? Given how most students will learn way more math than they'll ever use, swap out a semester/year of math for CS classes. It will really help them understand the rest of the math classes.
In On the Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith argued that the big reason why Great Britain was able to dominate like it was able to in the late eighteenth century was due to a lack of inflation for 200 years and that unskilled laborers had a steady wage to cover food, housing, and living expenses for themselves and two dependents, over those 200 years. I agree whole heartedly with the conclusion.
The vast majority of classes in Middle school and High school are required. There is a very small selection of elective classes, and even then, mostly in Senior year. So where these classes made as pure electives? Or could they chosen in place of a math class like Algebra 2 or geometry? If they are counted as credit in place of a required course, more people would chose to take them.
Hell, Obama flew over personally to threaten Britain into voting remain and no one raised a shitfit about America "influencing" a British election.
He went over as himself and argued for his ideas. This is different. Russian posing as a Brit is different than the American President coming over as the American President. Obama making his pitch is him trying to win an argument. These Russion propogandists don't care about any side of the argument, they're trying to create division and sow misinformation. Is it really that hard to see the difference?
No they should not be forced to participate in something that they find to be morally objectionable.
I highly doubt that they are going to work on it. To make sure that military secrets aren't leaked into the normal commercial space, or for normal commercial space to starve resources from the military side, I would be shocked if this isn't air gapped from the rest of everything else the company is working on. And to cross the air gap is going to require special military background checks. It would boggle my mind if anyone working on it wouldn't be very aware of what they're working on.
Republican's can't seem to grasp the idea that just because a lot of Google employee's were upset by the results of the election that it doesn't mean that they've changed their product. Google still wants to create general purpose AI, searches, etc. Adding bias defeats that.
We all know we parents are losing the war against screens. The best we can do is make sure that the kids consume semi-educational things on their screens. Now that my kids are in elementary school the teachers make comments about the whole class being more and more advanced by the time they start. I attribute that to the screen time the kids get.
I knew that Myst was a hot game, but every time I tried to play it I got bored really quickly and really didn't have any idea what I was supposed to be doing.
You really, really, really don't want WhatsApp and similar services policing EVERYTHING you say on them, trust me.
I'm not saying that WhatsApp should be policing everything. But creating a way to allow for law enforcement to gather evidence, after the fact, would be a deterrent to such behavior (assuming law enforcement would investigate).
Whatsapp did nothing more than allow people to communicate, no different to a book, radio, post-it notes or anything else.
Lots of other forms of communication have ways to track back to the author of the communication. So someone could have used radio to spread these rumors, but then law enforcement could track back the signal to how was broadcasting at that time, their location, etc. Yes, there are ways to obfuscate origination, but WhatsApp lowered that barrier significantly.
Why would a future US government *not* want to keep jobs here in our own country? Isn't the entire point of having a government in the first place to give our own people an advantage? To take care of our own?
That's fine for a US government to do so; Trump taking action unilaterally is not the US government. That's why it's a safe bet it'll get undone. Because right now, not only are the other countries able to enact retaliatory tariffs there will also be WTO fines (in the hundreds of millions if not billions) for breaking agreements. Also, think about why Nixon "opened up China" in the first place? Going to war with someone your economically integrated with is very rare; which is why integrating your economics is the best way to establish peace between two parties. Nixon didn't want a US vs USSR and China war. By integrating the Chinese economy with the US's Nixon was hoping at a minimum China would stay out of a war, and at best align with the US against the USSR.
Preventing war is a good way to take care of our own.
Pretty much everything that Trump has done, without approval from Congress, is going to get undone once he's out. So every company is just going to keep things in place, because it would be suicidal to invest in a move, only to have the reason for doing so undone before the move is finished.

Pluto isn't on the same axis as the other planets and it gets inside the orbit of another planet. If it never was classified as a planet there's no argument for making it one now.
Canada had something similar in place 30 years ago - it gave us such gems as SCTV's "Great White North" and the movie "Strange Brew".
What it gave us was more commercial runtime per show. Commercials made in Canada count as original Canadian content. TV show production companies actually want to have less commercial runtime per episode, but they can't because of the Canadian law. We all have to watch more commercials so that Canadians can enjoy enough Canadian commercial content.

So how does it handle legal ediscovery? Employers are responsible for coughing up employee communications during trial.
I wonder why that is.
New hires?

I wonder if the unspecified number is 0, and this whole thing was written by an ex-Microsoft employee looking the make a fuss.

Why? They seem to be more prepared for entering school than previous generations.

I doubt that there will be anything to rollback.
You get the list of every unilateral action Trump took which are costing us WTO fines, and just undo them.
