Most people don't need to drive 9000 miles. 20 to 50 a day will work. We can still use some fossil fuels but not more than can be absorbed by the environment. Energy can be stored in many ways. My favorite Idea is to use excess production of wind and solar to pump water into reservoirs (fishing anyone?) and then release as needed, e.g. at night.
Battery tech keeps getting cheaper and more capable. We can already move submarines for a week on lithium batteries. Over time more batteries will show up in heavy equipment.
Some of those are obscure to the current generation of developers. The ones who frequently end up on StackOverflow trying to get someone to do their homework for them, or worse lied there way into a job bragging about their mad 1337 {Java|C#|Perl|JavaScript|JSNode|Ruby| } sk!11z. Hence the fact that these polls, they are not surveys, are bogus. And why the hate list is tilted against older non-trendy languages that are still functional depending on the problem domain.
You just described why I hate front end development. I got caught up in the Browser Wars of the late 90's and I said "never again". And I have been able to do so for years.
In fact we could have it 6 or 10 times a year. Randomly. Just giving people 2 to 3 days notice. Also, change your batteries every time as well. The battery lobby would be all for that.
You forgot "Personal Pride" where after stepping on an anti-personal device or IED an electric shock is given to your genitals simulating crippling damage to them.
You are a commodity. Bought and sold like pork bellies. The more this happens the more I work to disentangle myself. Use more cash, no electronic payments, no credit cards, no crapplets on my phn etc. I might even switch to a land line + a trac phone. Never use the same browser made by the company who made my OS, i.e. no IE on Windows, shun social media, etc. Eventually I will sell everything, get a van and disappear.
From my investigation of the matter it looks to be some sort of multi-variate analysis in drag. Uninteresting. Basically you get guys sitting around twiddling knobs. Finding the right parameters which works for a little bit and then you start knob twiddling again to find the next ones.
Some years back I wrote a day trading program for a friend. It dynamically changed its behavior depending on the market signals and the rules he gave it (stops, buys, shift to a different stock etc.) which he found useful. Now that was fun.
Isn't supposed to be about the student? Isn't every student an individual? So isn't the right thing to do is to set up an individual learning program for each student? Or should we only look at students as uniform commodities run through the same industrial process everywhere?
We can do it. We just need the will to do it. Maybe we need an Agile like approach to education.

Which I refer to as "COBOL" for Windows due to the syntax. :D
so C# is out as a second career. (sorry I couldn't resist :)

Hyperloop or no hyper loop there isn't enough water to sustain that sort of growth.
drop your pants, bend over, and I'll show you.

Solves nothing.
I'd have to get me wife to let me borrow it from time to time. ;)
No to mention uploading lots of personal information and spewing it across wifi on a regular basis ;)
credit cards and drivers licenses come to mind :)

It's the danger and skirting death that makes it fun.
You've asked the survivors?
amateur. Obviously you you haven't been on a runaway freight train coming down Everest for 12 hours. Now that's living!
Ever lynch people? Ever give infected blankets to inconvenient native groups?
I haven't tried the game yet but the description sounds a lot like the Spirograph.
Ever use the number zero? How about Algebra? The "Al" prefix and the Arabic word "Al" aren't coincidences.
Interesting read. I hadn't heard of Haar wavelets
Read Godel much? (Umlat the o)

Now about fads, here's a good Reg article on the matter:
