Back in grade school I remember reading that without sugar your body can't live for "a single second". As you can probably imagine that stuck out to me as a kid.
Recent studies seem to indicate Alzheimers has more to do with sleep deprivation over time.
Having been a C/C++ programmer for 7 years and a C# developer for 4 years, I can tell you for sure the C#(/Java?) guys can crank it out faster, and for most of business the bottleneck is development.
The anecdotal indicator is that C#/Java devs stand to make a lot more money and see a lot more listings.
But I can't comment on how C++14 will or will not affect that except to say people are starting to look more seriously at C++ now.
I'm not sure it's "alone suffecient", but if I can make reversing too expensive for my competitors, foreign adversaries, etc, I wouldn't call it "the completely wrong approach".
I'm not sure if you have a legitimate point or are arguing for an ideology here (i.e. everyone should have the same incoming, military, software, etc).
I can reverse engineer the output of a dotfuscated solution, for example, but the code is so mangled during the obfuscation process (where classes are hacked and merged semi-arbitrarily and variable names turn into "A", "x34Kj", etc) that it becomes unmanageable to make any changes to.
Being able to reliably make changes to the source code is almost the entire cost of software development.

Last I remember all the neanderthal specimens were discredited by highly secular sources.
The original fossils were mixed with clearly human fossils, but were later determined to have a condition called rickets.
So, yeah, this one seems a little made up to me, and I don't blame the 58% of Americans who don't believe in evolution.
If all the species are related, why are there all these shenanigans?
I'm sure the NSA would never want to tap into something like that.
... Your honor, it is a legitimate means of identifying, uh, potential terrorists.
I read the summary, at least. Today's opt-in features are tomorrows standard features. It's a vetting mechanism -or at least a pretext of one.
Slashdot beta for example.
It's a problem because the elite Ph.D's in Washington DC and the media recognize how irrational and how illogical we all are.
These visionaries are just now uncovering how this irrationality of common people applies to women also.
So we need to help these wonderful leaders by helping women make the correct choices they don't want to make for themselves.
Allowing women to make their own choices is part of the War on Women, see?
Well, the IRS has helped some tea party organizations understand they have incorrect political views.
According to Eric Snowden, the NSA has been happy to help their significant others (and potential significant others) by keeping an eye on them.
Some government offices in Ohio helped us learn more about Joe the Plumbers' tax history (since he has incorrect political views).
So you see, the government has lots of time to help. And what will they do with all this time if they can't read our emails?
... and never come back to it?
How will the government help us correctly understand politics if they can't read our email?

Twenty odd countries with "space programs" but no one has the means to put a human on the moon any more (which people did in the 60's!).
Everyone gets more and more ambitious with their goals while related capabilities are being lost forever.
Apologies to the Draper watchers: we really had it better back then.
Anyway, I'd rather keep *my* tax dollars on the earth so I can spend it on my kids and not the religious pursuit of Science.
In SimCity 2000 couldn't you build fusion power plants around 2020?
Sounds like they got it about right.

Some of us monitor adoption as if staying current affected our employability.
How is flying a car sized plane into the top floor worse than driving a car into the ground floor?

The government will be glad to help us learn what we need using advanced education centers (such as, colleges, sanitariums, and gulags).
A lot of it boils down to making sure the people who vote incorrectly are "re-educated" by the IRS.
"Objectively, though, he's pointing out pretty valuable ..."
Value is not determined by objects. You can't say that something is objectively valuable.
You are familiar with the East Anglia Institute scandal, right?
Or the IPCC walking back its own claims? That one has happened several times.
Identical twins don't have exactly the same DNA.
This was a (relatively) recent discovery.
MS delivered the tablet first. Should they have won?
Working for a profit makes you bad?
Are you working for free?
Between the lines ... it's the profit part that people are objecting to.
That's called inferential reasoning, and in some circles it is another way of saying "speculation".
In the example you mentioned, space can move. And it can move faster than the speed of light.
That's some broad strokes there!
There's no such thing as "objectively terrible".
If you say AIDS is "objectively terrible", well, what about the case where the AIDS virus is used to deliver life-saving genetic modifications?
Value is in the eye of the beholder.
Better to own your opinion than take the mantle of objectivity.
