you can realize that identity is proof of who you are (and not someone else)
Exactly.
I may wish to prove who I am to my bank. I might not be so keen to prove it to www.randomwebsite.com
and I sure as hell have no wish to prove it to www.porns.r.us.scam and goat.se
Also, I have no wish for hackers.ru to be able to prove they are me for the rest of my life.
People at the top are people that have been promoted beyond their abilities. The longer a company has been in existence, and the larger it is, the truer this is.
There is a simple solution: randomly promote people to arbitrary jobs each year. It cannot possibly be worse than the present situation. And look: we can solve inequality and "pay gaps" by paying people arbitrary salaries too.
Cos CPU manufacturers own more congress-critters than the entire motor industry, and its easier to form/hide a cartel of two or three than a cartel of seven or more?
Not the OP here, but I don't expect a fix. what I do expect in the absence of a fix, is pin compatible replacements made with today's technology. Failing that, compensation:
to me, for having to replace my entire system including embroidery machine, ATE system, yacht navigation system,
the world at large for huge numbers of large, complex systems going to landfill
Intel are causing massive disruption to people who are not nerdy games players trapped in their parents basement, or cloud providers, and don't need more performance than they have, and for whom the processor is less than 1% of the system cost.
No, you don't get to choose CPU supplier when buying a body scanner for $1m. Hopefully, this will change soon.
A moot point is a point that is discussed in the "moot" - which was the 15th century word for a village hall. Ie all the "elders" would gather round and waffle on for hours, without making coherent points of changing their "died in the wool" points of view. Basically, discussion was unlikely to achieve anything, regardless if the importance of the issue. (Changes would require people higher up the food chain to intervene, or bloodshed).
What they lack is good governance. In many cases, because colonialisation brought obeying the law into disrepute, and adequate traditional education was rubbished, and replaced with an inadequate version of Western education.
A country becomes poor when the legal system fails - if contracts cannot reliably be enforced, commercial cooperation collapses, and the cost of business is very high because of the risk element. Also, if the only way you can be sure your business associates will deliver is to employ your relatives, then nepotism is going to be a serious problem. ("Cosa Nostra")
UK got rich by slavery in sugar plantations etc. In the long run others benefit also but it all starts with slavery
A few British pirates, drug dealers, etc got rich from slavery.
The average person in the UK at the time lived in very similar conditions to the slaves (except the weather is much worse in Manchester than in Jamaica). We keep hearing that 30% of slaves died on some ships during the long passage, and very rarely hear that almost 100% of crew (not officers) died before the ships reached Africa, where the shortage of crew (many "press ganged" on board unwillingly - ie slaves) was made up by recruiting "Kru boys" (ie men from Kru tribe in Sierra Leone, known to be good sailors),, and where up to 50% of fare paying passengers died on the longer voyage to India. Why did they take such risks? cos in Europe, up to 1/3 of the population died in each outbreak of plague.
It is also worth pointing out that in the UK, slavery is not associated with colour - there were no black slaves in the UK.
Some history is told with political bias - even before Zuck was born.
A better solution is logarithmic progression: after N votes, a moderation is 1/Nth of a vote, so that a massive number of votes shows, but only marginally. (1 over N squared may be needed to achieve the required result)
In "other parts of the world" they have railways where one driver controls a train of 20 or more unpowered wagons, each carrying two to four standard shipping containers. These trains travel at speeds up to 200 MPH without intervention from Elon Musk, along tracks that are often over 50 years old. In the yard, the containers are moved to conventional trucks for local delivery.
Uber solves a problem in countries which are too backward or corrupt to fund their railways like their roads - backwardness and corruption are very widespread, so it might sell quite well if it works.

You 3D print a Kaptain Krunch whistle - you don't think this system will actually be secure, do you?
Exactly.

YMMV

OK, its true, I need another coffee.
Dyson will probably produce a machine that squirts hookers in your face! (Or at least one that costs so much you expect it to!)
I am a boomer, and my mother was a Fortran programmer. My friend's father invented subroutines. Computers are older than you think.

It has been overtaken by "Windows is dying" posts.
After all, it is April 1, and would be plausible anyway.

Most of us would be better off without these "benefits".
Vast natural resources, particularly minerals and land.
And a lot of experience of surviving without a viable infrastructure.
The point of the article is "Chinese forecasters predict Chinese strategy will succeed",
Not news, let alone for nerds, or of significant interest, except perhaps to the forecasters' paymasters.
Bears in woods, popes, etc
Maybe Amish Intelligence will rule the world?

Apple users can't use Pirate bay - because reasons.
Systemd is the perfect excuse for why its not yet the year of the Linux desktop.
Is there any evidence that they don't all do this?
