So what. C is also used for many critical systems. What is your point? Did Ada succeeded? It seems not since it is not much more widely use than it is after many years in the market. But, anyway, the original assumption is not about the language, it is all about the "cowboy style". This is a false discussion.
I am not neither sure the cowboy style argument itself hold waters. Anyone has numbers to compare the security breach in the automotive industry due to bad programming practices vs the rest of the world?
As far as I know, there tighter and stronger procedures, QA and certification requirements for automotive software in critical systems than for a web browser.
Another point that may prevent using the new programming language "au goût du jour" is the realtime requirements. You need to control very precisely the instructions and the execution time of them for safety reasons when controlling the mechanical parts of an automobile. That's not something you can do with every programming language, in particular those hiding a lot of stuff under the cover to make the programmer's life easier.
As long as they move the shelves in the candy section, I have no problem at all with these sugar pills.They are even authorized to add flavor if they wish. But selling them as if they are medication and working drugs is another matter.
Consider yourself lucky not to have to deal with this kind of people and process internally in your own company. I am working for a very large company with a lot of bureaucratic process and even if I can pinpoint down the problem to save time there is absolutely nothing to do. You can tell them where the problem is and they staff responsible for my own laptop will spend one week investigating unrelated things and asking pointless questions about a device that has nothing to do with the problem. I have such a problem that is open for about 2 months and still unresolved while it clearly needs a firmware update, even recommended by the manufacturer and I have no privileges to do it myself and the refuses to update any firmware. Instead, they suggested to replace the laptop by a older model.
If you got your phone stolen, you will have a hard time to gain access to your accounts, in particular if you are oversea. This can quickly become a nightmare. You cannot get a replacement phone because your purchases are rejected.
In that specific case of the NSA spying on Merkel's cellphone, there isn't any spy within the borders involved. To execute one or jail one, you have to prove him/her guilty, which cannot be done. In fact, there is no physical presence within Germany's borders needed here. We already know the cellphone was not physically hijacked by NSA otherwise evidence for a trial would have been found by the Germans. So, further investigation is useless in the context of a trial against someone unknown and unidentifiable. The most that could happen is what NicBenjamin said. Some kind of sanction from Germany against the USA based on evidence which links NSA to some kind of provable hack on Merkel's cellphone. Even in that case, some kind of proof must be made, otherwise accordingly to international treaties, Germany is exposing itself to legitimate retaliation from the USA.
Don't waste our time with you incapability to make basic math. That isn't a war about who is getting more subsidies. It is about the ROI. These fucking solar panels at $65K will never pay for themselves within their useful lifetime. That is a net negative balance. That is not the case for the oil industry. Currently, the whole economy would collapse without oil. Plus, digging for oil in USA or Canada rather than doing military operations overseas to secure oil may quickly become profitable.
The problem with your method is you have to know, find and get the right people. What is right and what isn't? Just this simple thing is not that simple for any manager to tackle with. The right people mixed with some other right people may lead to a wrong as well. Then, the same reasoning apply to your point number 2. This is always easy to come with such a list: Do the right thing, that's it! You see, mine is even better than yours, but it is totally helpless and pointless.
I recommend you start by doing your own homework before asking open, badly defined questions expecting precise answers. Where is your requirements document? I mean, real requirements, no a vague and generic description of what is asset tracking.
Finally a short insightful comment that summarizes it all. He deserved the reward he got trying to counter balancing this crazy housing market on steroids.
Since you have the link to his blog and given you great interest into its content, cannot you simply visit it regularily or even subscribe to it without/. reporting every new bit from it? I mean, are you an adult or do you really need someone taking you hand to the blog?
Okay, the new Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking under construction in the modern ages of the Internet. It starts itching, I guess I am developing an allergy.
If you live in a densely populated area, the subsidies would be better spent on public/mass transportation, in particular for such a short distance. If you live a low density population area, it doesn't matter much if you use an electric car or not, your contribution to pollution is marginal and no subsidies should be spent to help you buying an electric car.
Which is a bit shitty since the electricity isn't a source at all, it has to be produced using coal, oil, gas, biomass, wind, hydro, solar, nuclear or any other mean I may forget.
Exactly, and worst, most people don't know at all how it works. They even don't know how their requests are routed, they don't know anything about http beside this four sequence letters. People don't want to know neither, they just want it to work with the appropriate security level. That's all they are asking. They do not live for technology, they use it, dot period.
Your argument is the most idiotic one I ever read on/. which is not to say the least. Your cat watching thing works because the web is build around the pretty old ancient archaic model which dominated the computing world for decades: Few huge servers (mainframes) and thin clients (terminals). That's why you think IPv4 is satisfactory, because you don't see any other way to do things. In short, you are a dinosaur.
Apparently you have never ever heard about the IoT. And I don't mean the dishwasher, the microwave oven or the refrigerator on the Internet. I mean the real purpose of IoT, disseminated devices/sensors for which it is unfeasible to put them in a private network and/or even behind a firewall. You may not see any potential for the growth of the internet, but it doesn't mean there isn't any.
Because the energy in the center of mass of the LHC is much more higher than any nuclear tests can achieve. The energy of a nuclear reaction is around 200 MeV while the LHC's energy in the center of mass is 13 TeV, something like 60 000 higher. No comparison can be made with a nuclear reaction.
Not much different than the right level of maintenance for an airplane, a ship, a bridge, a tower or any other complex engineered device. There will always be gray zones where a court will have to rule, however I believe you can perfectly request a certain number of things to be done in order to keep your business and IT infrastructure covered in case of a security breach.
Without grants you cannot do quality research, so, here is where everything starts. To do science, you need money. That's why all scientists are concerned about getting the next big grant, you cannot ignore it. Now, as far as I know, there is a scientific comittee to decide who will get money, it is supposed to be isolated from the politicians.

In fact, we don't need cars at all.

This ratio seems pretty close to the ratio of zombie public servants.

C'mon, don't be childish. It is not a morale question. Do you question the morale of the banks in this case?

Did he really said that? If yes, he is much more full of shit I first tought and you believe him?
