That's pretty much par for the course here in America too, comrade. In fact, if it wasn't for corruption, we'd probably not have any space program at all.
>> keeping traditional Outlook users (and IT administrators) happy while radically reworking software that hasn't seen a huge shakeup since 2003
And...why would you want to do that? Microsoft Office has basically remained unchanged since the late 1990s and it's still raking in money. Outlook "competitors" like Thunderbird are still dropping like flies and you want to piss off your huge customer base to...what exactly? Follow Marissa down the tech drain?
>> why critical infrastructure control systems like generation and grid control would not be air-gapped
It often IS, so sophisticated malware authors (e.g., StuxNet) sometimes write malware that targets computers that are temporarily plugged into critical infrastructure (such as a tech's diagnostic laptop), because those machines are also often plugged into another network to get updates (where they can be attacked and infected). This page has a nice summary: http://www.sagedatasecurity.co...
This thing is actually pretty neat. It installs itself when SndVol.exe runs because there's a backwards-compatibility thing in Windows that elevates that "safe" executable (around UAC), and SndVol.exe is then used to execute the "arbitrary code" that gets the ball rolling.

Doubt it - the Pi Zero needs bolt-ons to be very useful. (http://makezine.com/2015/11/28/chip-vs-pi-zero/) As another poster mentioned, the marketing strategy seems to be "flood the education market" kind of like Apple did back in the day - people actually building anything will probably steer clear of the Pi Zero.
>> we should be careful to not enable the belief that programming should be as easy as gluing things together
I just helped my daughter do the princess-themed exercises on code.org. Code.org is ALL about "gluing things together" and issuing a "computer science" certificate at the end. Is this post Facebook's dig against code.org or this just one random guy?
>> they seem to be targeting people who don't own cars
Yep, this plan is aimed at getting millennials to drive more often, then decide that they don't want to share their car with the great unwashed masses (which normally happens anyway when kids enter the picture), then buy a car.
Going through tax paperwork over the weekend I noticed that my auto policy now prohibits claims made if I ever tried to use my car in an Uber, Lyft, or even another "ridesharing" program.
I wonder if that will have an effect on everyone trying to make extra money on the side; it's not like they can really claim that they weren't providing a paid ride during a period in which an accident happens since the dispatch app will have all the records server-side.

Wouldn't the smarter thing to do be to fly it over and over and over again until it broke to test whether the tolerances (included expected wear/lifespan) specified in the design are accurate or not?

Seems about right to me.

From Gallup (Dec 2015 - http://www.gallup.com/poll/187...) American's top anxieties are:
#1: Terrorism (16%)
#2: Government (13%)
#3: Economy (9%)
#4: Guns (7%)
>> In 2015, those anxieties are, apparently, concern the rise of science denial, climate change, total collapse
None of those seem to be top-of-mind here.
