Nuclear fuel is highly transportable. You can move the entire supply for the lifetime of the reactor in a single convoy of trucks. You won't be able to do that with any other power source. That's why people love nuclear so much. The energy density is insane.

This. Google's ad business doesn't want to have to pay for the failures in all their experiments. The ad business is the only one that consistently makes large amounts of money and they are going to do everything they can to isolate it legally from everyone.
Can you please describe how 20-years worth of Linux and network administration experience can't be substituted for AWS? Can you even describe what AWS is as a skill-set? Like what does it take to do AWS? Learning how to click on kindergarten-looking bubbly interface to do everything you already know?
The problem is hiring managers have no clue what their workforce does. If you actually need someone with "continuous integration" experience and you can't write your own while loop, I have no idea what to tell you.
Every programming job? Failure to know the OSI model is probably why the internet is giant abyss today. Knowing OSI is basically like knowing the alphabet. It's tricky to learn the first time and then you never think about it again.
You will have to explain gaps and those explanations will destroy your chances because people will use it to judge your character. Why would a professional making $150k flip burgers? I've been in a hiring meeting where we actually asked this question.
I took two years off because I was financially savvy enough and thought I could get back into tech easily since I have a pretty large skill set. I haven't even gotten a single interview this year for a developer position. Live your dreams but make sure you get to work first. That's the american way.
Credit card companies provide convenience. I never have to worry about having the right amount of cash or dealing with change or stupid cashiers. Not to mention they scale to the internet and other transaction scenarios where cash is inconvenient or impossible. That's worth it to me. I think you'd also be surprised at a retailer's attitude in having a stable, audit-able, and secure transaction platform that doesn't require hiring security forces.
Merchants also provide convenience. I mean you could just pick your items up on a dock for cheaper. Are you happy paying that middle man? What about the middle man that shipped the goods? Do you buy direct from the manufacturer? Why aren't you harvesting it yourself?
It will belch CO2 and other noxious compounds as chemicals and raw materials are manufactured and delivered to food labs. Keep looking for the free lunch, I'm sure it's out there.

Roads don't make profits? You mean I don't pay for fuel taxes, tolls, or tickets while driving on road surfaces? You might want to ask any city that relies on speeding tickets for revenue if they make money or not. Where do they get all the shiny patrol cars and military training? It could be from asset forfeiture on one of these non-profitable roads. I forgot that stealing property can't be considered income so maybe you are correct.
I'm not a statistician but it's possible that once you can prove that the neural network can produce answers at a success rate higher than humans you would be introducing error by allowing humans to review it. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done but this is one of the weird questions that people will have to ask on a case-by-case basis as these technologies are applied to real problems.
The way the machine learning databases are built, it does understand what is being said. That's why it is so effective. This happens through the connections that are built inside the neural network along with the architecture of the network itself. They are now using context-sensitive data labeling to assign specific meaning to words that are generally ambiguous based on the text around these words. The neural net can learn over time which combinations of words are likely to fall within specific categories and use this as a basis for translation later on.
There are several teams working on this and they have been publishing papers for a while now. The press is probably just picking up on it. Google's translation service is said to have increased in accuracy due to the same general principles. Facebook is looking into it for better social data aggregating. Various academic teams are doing it for prestige and to add to the field. Lots of good work here, actually although there is still far, far to go.
I hate to even recommend it but I think I have some decent reasons. It's in every browser. Hit F12 and you have a REPL, debugger, and you can start coding on the same machine without downloading anything else. Even though it's a very loose language, you can teach all the basics of control flow, data handling, and you will be forced to deal with numeric and type issues. You also have access to a graphical canvas which is amazing fun for kids.
I wouldn't expect things like File I/O to come up which could be problematic or burdensome. Theoretically you could teach event-driven programming but that's a bit overkill for kids. If you can push anything to a hosted server, they can view it on their phone, too. You can do some of this with other languages, of course. JavaScript just comes on so many things now, though.
"Neither is losing weight or working out. It's called working for a reason. That's not a bug, that's a feature. What you're complaining about here is having to put effort into and accept discomfort from life."
I don't put effort into weight loss. I eat as much meat and fat as I want and maintain a healthy weight (178.2lbs). I lost over 65lbs. without having to go to a gym or do much more than lay on my couch all day. I'm one of the laziest people you will ever meet. I had a much harder time losing weight when I was walking two miles a day and eating 1200 calories. Have you done that for a period of 3 or more months?
But have fun destroying your joints "working". No pain, no gain, right?
Calories and joules are equivalent units. There is a reason why you can't use both for all energy equations, but it's not the fault of joules, I assure you. What happens when you change the glass of water to a gallon? The number of joules will rise but the calories will remain at zero.
Weird. It's almost as if calories are based on the amount of relative energy in water and therefore completely ignore both the quantity of water and its energy content. As if the amount of water in your body is a metabolically invisible component of the thermodynamic equation. Weird.
"For one, stored fat could well be from sugar intake, not necessarily fat intake. Curious, no?'
This is my hypothesis based on hormone regulation and the way our body processes nutrients at a chemical level. People use calories as an extremely inaccurate proxy for what's actually going on in our bodies. The fact that insulin and leptin are both critical to fat storage and both affected by the composition of our diets is never a part of the simple energy equations. Nor are things like absorption rates of different types of proteins from different sources or how different types of fats (there's just one, right?) are cycled in our bloodstream.
It's a problem that we have fostered a culture of quick fixes and pills for everything. This is a direct result of our attempts to contain in control nature in these ways. Not directly related except through method.
I did the 1200-1800 calorie restricted diets. Have you? Have you dealt with them long term as in a year or more? I did and none of it worked without causing me severe pain and distress. You know what works for me? Not counting calories and eating as much fat and meat as I want.
If you think thermodynamics is the only answer, then riddle me these: Why does a glass of water have 0 calories but energy in joules? Why do I gain weight when I drink water if it doesn't have calories? Why do you think the body's metabolism works like a simple calorimeter device?
Shine a light on them. Let them shine an even brighter light on themselves. Let the eternal sun shine on them. Then ignore them. They have no power if you truly believe that speech is free because it harms no one.

They should be applauded for worse outcomes? This is why we can't have nice things.

They own the source and would just re-license it as is their legal right. They don't have to give you their changes, ever.

AWS is not a "skill". It is a platform. OP probably does have the "skills" necessary but doesn't have a certificate with AWS stamped on it.

Electrolytes. We will have them make and buy electrolytes.

Ban what you will. Warfare is won by force and your enemy doesn't care about your rules. That's why you are fighting him.

No... just calories in, calories out. Simple.
Eat 3,000 calories. You've gained a pound. But for some reason it was 0 calories of water.
