I have chosen work that is not so important that I cannot talk with my children while I do it, usually. Is that bad? Am I wrong for doing that? It pays well enough to provide for them. Am I missing some imperative that my work must be so important as to neglect my family? I don't get it.
People emerge differently. Patience will come to her after she has to deal with her peers more. As much as I would like to optimize her natural abilities with homeschool we are not that sort of family, so she goes to public school to learn patience and comes home to learn Chaucer, Richardson and Wirth.
Frankly for now she is a horror. I hope for your sake I live long enough to teach her empathy. She wasn't born with any, nor was I. We have to learn that. We are crippled in that way.
As to dependency we teach them from 2 that parents are ephemeral and we will die. We have to for this pair because we parented late in life, knowing we would almost certainly die before they were truly mature. Of course we tell them about that, discussing it on a level most adults will never achieve. Dependency is the least of my worries. My biggest fear is what a monster she could be set loose upon on you all without empathy. I would not want to live in that world.
People vary even at this age. I am a freak. At 4 I was reading at high school level and explaining the significance of current events like Apollo 11 to adults who to this day are less mature, educated and informed than I was then at four years old. It was an uphill push. From 10 to 30 I read an average of 4 books per day and recall them all. 40 years later my 4 year old daughter was correcting my grammar - correctly, as I am prone to exploit the vernacular for the purpose of irony. Presumably this 4 year old is an outlier on the curve, or his parents want him to be. Norming of the exceptional is a counterproductive social imperative that should be prohibited. The world needs ditch diggers, and it needs this sort of odd person as well.
If it's any consolation, living in a world where people have to be taught that washing themselves is a social imperative rather than a logical one is quite unpleasant. It does not naturally lead to more happiness. Most of those so afflicted medicate themselves to death.
Some people have to work. My 6yo daughter has been video chatting me and calling me on the phone at work since she was 3. We can't all retire on childbirth and she is the youngest of five spanning 19 years age. Many of us can be telepresent most of the time though. The modern age is wonderful. When you're 3 almost nothing will wait until daddy gets home. To her pushing a button to get remote facetime with daddy to negotiate a diplomatic solution to an argument or calling him to bring something home is a normal and expected part of how life works. Daddy is always there, no matter where he is. This is disruptive and transformational. This is a child who is going to come of age not understanding how some people are unavailable sometimes because this is the only world she knows. She is precocious, but this is becoming the norm.
I encourage this because when I was three years old access to daddy was something I would never again enjoy in this life to the present day, for even one minute. I feel the lack did not improve my level of joy throughout my life, though I could be wrong. Sometimes daddy is an ass. As my mother is dead I have to accept her judgement on the issue. I can aspire however to be better: to be the available, accessible and good daddy I wished for when I was my youngest daughter's age.
The future is here and it is scary and amazingly awesome.
Seriously though, satellites have too much latency, real ships have anchors too big to armor against. Especially considering they can use a supertanker or container ship if they have to and the sub can scope out a likely vulnerable spot to put the anchor. Quantum crypto: once the cable is cut you then need a subsea quantum repeater. Even if the tech were available it would be electronic and therefore subject to traditional signals intercept. Traditional crypto - theoretically possible but forever suspect. The NSA has some rather special people in the field and has poisoned the pool of available art. All of this is assuming they can't compromise or sniff the signal out of either end, which is probably the easiest route. You can't slant drill a conduit all the way across the Atlantic, and if you could the first good earthquake would cut your line.
I am sticking with "not practical with available systems and materials." Maybe one day, with entangled neutrinos or something.
There is no way to defend an undersea cable from the submarine that will be splicing into it far out to sea after a ship accidently drags their anchor across it close to shore.
Will I be able to build my own box to run SteamOS?
Yes.
Can I hack this box? Run another OS? Change the hardware? Install my own software? Use it to build a robot?
Sure.
Can I download the OS to try it out?
You will be able to download it (including the source code, if you're into that) but not yet.
Just checked with customer support. Apparently still no plan to add Linux support to Netflix at this time. Maybe if they got more people asking? I asked for a more-streams plan, and a few months later that happened. I think they listen to requests.
No, the GP is right. We're not bringing Microsoft into our new mobile world for the same reason the US colonists came to the new land and threw off the yoke of the English King. We just don't care for his rule, and you can't get away from it by staying where you're at. The last thing any rational person wants is for Microsoft to come with us and lock down our new mobile world and start obstructing progress again. Look at all these shiny new things that work with our other things! Aren't they delightful? Let us forget the old way.

If you are going to define how humans intellectually six sigmas from the mean ought to behave, maybe you should be one. For context and perspective.
We live in the world that we know. I am as much a victim of my experience as you are of yours.

But we have gone wide of the topic.

I believe that is the gesture for "ask nVidia for an open API."
I assure you it is completely legitimate.
Also we wanted to know it was the newest Atom chip that's actually good, not one from last decade.
Exactly. Have you seen Europorn? Ick.
In cypherspace noone can read your stream.

So you've never called EA?
They have already said "wide open":
Will I be able to build my own box to run SteamOS? Yes. Can I hack this box? Run another OS? Change the hardware? Install my own software? Use it to build a robot? Sure. Can I download the OS to try it out? You will be able to download it (including the source code, if you're into that) but not yet.
Netflix works with Chromecast and Android. And not using Silverlight.
Just checked with customer support. Apparently still no plan to add Linux support to Netflix at this time. Maybe if they got more people asking? I asked for a more-streams plan, and a few months later that happened. I think they listen to requests.
They changed that a while ago. Now first one to claim the commentID gets the points.
Business doesn't want their tablets either. Burned five too many times already. That dog won't hunt.

Approximately one billion of them.
Also, a non-Windows OS. I wonder if Microsoft considered selling a tablet that didn't have Windows on it? Those seem to do well.
They've been banging on the tablet drum for 18 years. They're not going to give up now.
In the IT business buying Windows tablets is equivalent to "I want to spend more time with my family."
Also, many third party games are built on Valve's game engine, which is Linux compatible.
