Paying for college is a scam to help strain the idiots such that the non-idiots have more relative advantage. It's a part of what makes us great. There are plenty of ways to get free college, or at least to come out of it with a degree that actually pays. All the best people are self-educated anyway, college as a degree system exists so rich people can weed out the moderately talented poor people from the untalented poor people without having to get to know them.
We're a nation of specialists: scientists, engineers, programmers, etc. This means our manufacturing is heavily weighted toward bleeding-edge technologies which are very difficult to automate because they have complex construction and assembly, are relatively new, and are quickly replaced by newer versions. Our tool manufacturing is mostly automated already, but things like HPLC machines, DNA sequencers and such are high price low volume devices which have major overhauls in their design on an annual basis.
You can't just store algorithms in data files, timezone, DST, and other time-related functions are intrinsic to the operation of the program, at least in any language which doesn't automatically account for all of those by replacing the core datatype with something impervious to change (e.g. all of them.) If you have a moment, take a look through the TZ database, then understand that it's only accurate in 70-80% of known cases, and you'll have some clue as to how absurdly complex the whole issue is (there's actually commentary in there detailing why changes were made for specific timezones, obscenities like "the dictator of morocco decided to pull a prank on his advisors so for the 4th through 6th month of 1973 there is a 1 hour adjustment in the timezone for this country.")
Why are you using the past-tense? He's currently taking those billions he siphoned off the productivity of the US economy and dumping them into the third world. He's literally taking our labor supply and flushing it down the drain. Not only that, but he's persuasive enough to convince a plethora of other billionaires to do the exact same thing. He's probably the biggest traitor our nation has ever seen.
You are conflating capitalism and globalism. they aren't the same thing at all. Capitalism and greed work great, except when you mix them with globalism or communism. What we have is not a failing of capitalism, it is the result of a government allowing free trade in a global environment which has non-capitalistic (e.g. communist, socialist, and control-economies of other varieties) acting within it. At a bare minimum we need to eliminate free trade and match tariffs to the cost differences of products, ideally we should weight those tariffs even more heavily such that other countries don't even have a chance at competing with US-based products and services. From an outside perspective our nation needs to have the apparent structure of the most dangerous competitor (e.g., China with its monolithic structure acting in unison,) internally we can still keep the capitalism and the benefits it offers from personal liberty through productivity benefits. You can create that interface simply by ensuring it costs more to import anything (labor, goods, services, etc) from a foreign nation.
It is by no means a failing of capitalism that it can't compete against a communist society fueled by slave labor like work conditions and a third world like standard of living, unless you are suggesting we should drop to that level just to compete for some hand-wavy globalist agenda. The failing is in treating China as an equal, no other nation is our equal and no nation should be treated as our equal. This is literally the entire purpose of government: to ensure our citizens have the greatest share of resource scarcity possible, by economics, war, or whatever else.
They're just going to have a master key or series of rotating side-channel attacks so nothing Microsoft-based can be trusted, this has been demonstrated without fail on a monthly basis for over 2 decades.
Nah, it will just be another footnote in The TZ Database, similar to the existing notes and commentary about timezone changes resulting from wars, dictatorial decrees, and bureaucracy from Human history across the globe. It's a really interesting read if you have a weekend to sift through it, or many months to try to implement a library to handle timezone translation across known history (I pity you, even with the TZ database it's not going to happen.) Incidentally, because this is a historical record the decision in the EU can only impact future timekeeping, so they actually add more work by changing anything because you still have to account for the existing rules if you want to handle any dates prior to their decision or import old data.
Step 1: People have to write DST-compatible workarounds for software, costing billions.
Step 2: Politicians see opportunity for improvement after all the code is written.
Step 3: Remove DST in a region as a test.
Step 4: Costs the same amount to have all the contractors come back in and figure out how to unwire the DST components of code without breaking everything.
Step 5: Politicians compare costs and say not worth it.
Fuck all the touch shit, I used to be able to text while driving a manual with the phone in my shifter hand without looking at it. Now the best we have is swipe and vibration nonsense. This shit would go a long way toward making touch garbage useful eyes-free and it has existed for like a decade without being implemented.
Discovery and History haven't been about education since the 90s, they're reality TV. PBS is one you might call continuing education, but they post all their good stuff for free on YouTube (e.g. SpaceTime and Infinite Series.)
So basically you're saying that channels that almost no one watches or cares about should continue to get money they don't deserve or own at the expense of other programming?
Honestly those 99% crap shows are likely welfare for liberals in Hollywood.
No, a la carte leads to LESS quality television and MORE appeal to the masses.
You can say that all you want but it is objectively false because since it started the quality has gone up. You get shit when you have monopolies because they have no incentive to compete, just like before cable went to absolute shit with 99% reality TV (Hell, for years the best thing on any network was from the fucking BBC, when the filthy shit eating Brits do it better you know there's an issue.) Right now we have a bunch of relatively small networks trying to take over and become a monopoly, competition is at its peak so the quality of content is about as high as it gets. The last thing we need is to condense them all down to Amazon or Netflix or God-forbid their own cable-like replacement. Multiple networks is good for quality.
I need background noise while I'm programming and despise all modern music. I end up taking in enough of a show or movie that I can't watch it more than 2-3 times as background noise.
Honestly, I think the a la-carte model is significantly better even if it is more expensive. It leads to better quality entertainment. Before streaming started to take off we had 900 channels of bottom-of-the-barrel-reality TV - now we have dozens of quality sci-fi and fantasy shows. Look at StarTrek Discovery as a prime example: it was utter shit, and if cable were the only option it would either stay on the air continuing as normal or taken as a sign that people just don't want sci-fi, so we'd get 100 new reality TV shows in the wake. Instead, it got sent back to the production studio during the middle of the first season, to be repaired or never seen again. The quality of TV has gone up dramatically in the past few years - I probably pay $200-$300/mo in streaming bills and would gladly pay $400-$600 if the amount of high-quality content doubled, beats the Hell out of $130/mo for cable filled with nothing but sports and reality TV.
You forgot the biggest traitor (to his nation, constituents, party, and all his other countrymen) of them all from AZ: McCain, the man who sold is soul to the devil to make the Vietnamese stop shoving bamboo up his anus.
Popularity - it's a pretty massive undertaking to support the thousands of cryptocurrencies out there, the biggest exchanges only support a few hundred and the volume is so low as to be meaningless. Anyone can download the code for litecoin or even fork the chain of bitcoin while paying themselves 50% of the total in the process of forking, resulting in a new cryptocurrency they can then run up the price on. The government needs some form of stability to be able to accept it as a tax, which is provided by a market large enough to at least sell the things reliably at 10% the advertised value, which is a lot more than you get out of 99% of altcoins.
Sorry if you feel your sacred cow of pop-sci technobabble has been insulted, no reason to insult others defending your delusion, just fuck off to a site not for nerds like Reddit.
Intelligence has the basic qualifier of being more than average. But we don't even have something that would qualify as artifical retardation yet (augmented reality with hapless saps behind the wheel doesn't count, they're technically still natural.)

Still more easily handled in a database read by some suitably flexible functions than to hard code this sort of thing into an app.
Spoken like someone who has never written enterprise software.

Idiot
Have you given up all the hope now that you've changed shit so badly the rest of us have to fix it?
You'll have to forgive me, at 5.5 s.d. the lower rung of "genius" is still functionally retarded.

None of that is correct, though ironically it looks a lot like "when all you have is a hammer everything's a nail."
