Speaking as someone 62, wrongo. Languages all look the same (or in families) after a bit and the problems are basically the same ones. What new skills and techniques might you perceive to be harder for me than say a twenty-five year old, to pick up?
What I've found is the twenty-five year olds don't know enough to pick up something new readily because they don't have anything related in their experience.
I have one single question involving web apps and crucial data. Is the web designed to give a single shit about lost or badly delayed data? Yes or no. Your answer will be my response to your first sentence.
I know you're AC, but how, pray tell, is Google using your images and copying your sites? You're accusation is so vague as to be - let us say - questionable.
I have absolutely no problem with that, as long as I'm on the selection panel. Or at least have veto power so I can stop the Chinese from censoring everything. Educated people are no more trustworthy than anyone else. Plenty of censorship has been initiated and suggested from the 'top' of the intellectual society. No thanks.
So you agree. The need to interconnect between these agencies has forced them to use the Internet, as no other metal does this. So, like he, you suggest a separate Internet for these agencies. Sounds quite sound to me.
"And there is always the guy who never comments his code, the peer reviewers take time to read through it trying to figure out what he is doing, provide comments and include a note to please comment code, and it never happens."
We had that guy on one of my teams. Third time it happened, he left the team.
"I'm too busy" has been used for decades and it has always been a failed argument. Code review typically saves time, not costs it. A shop that runs frantic will *always* run frantic. Also a good sign you're not building libraries sufficiently.
If you know what they're making, how much and how they make it and their available resources, you can get a guess worth working with. Ain't like they'll tell you.
See, this is the problem with fiction nowadays. It's almost all absurd in it's portrayal of the human condition.
Yes, it would be nice to believe that "one little girl" would be so self-sacrificing, if not terribly astute, as to stand on the side of some street somewhere in the US starving herself to death, thinking she'll be noticed and that the wonderful people of that country would suddenly mend their ways and cease toiling to make things better for themselves as well as others, thus bringing about the downfall or change of heart (it's not made clear) of the evil dictator who brought about her plight in the first place.
They figured out that he wouldn't be able to pay them because they figured out that they wouldn't win the case because they figured out his evidence wasn't worth shit.
If you want a machine you can make perform in the manner you want it to, you have to have an OS that trusts you. It would irritate the hell out of me to be asked "Is this a device you trust?" every damned time I use one.
At the moment, we have no idea about the accountability of the system. Until all things settle we won't. Just because they keep a log doesn't mean they're accountable. Tersely put: accounting!=accountability.
Also, having worked in the banking system most of my career, I will guarantee you - even put a $100 on it today - that the accounting and accountability within the banking system *far* outstrips anything done with BitCoin.
Your second paragraph doesn't work in the real world, only in the theoretical absurd. Not sure if you were being sarcastic, but a bank can't and won't do that.

It ain't any different elsewhere, chum.

Small FYI, you don't need to shout an agreement.

Define the significance and duration of an appropriate time period.
Another -1 for tacitly admitting the irony, then acting as if it hadn't been used.

Even fiction needs logic.
First thing I saw was a face full of mustard yellow. Didn't like it.
What constitutes a contract. A flurry of e-mails probably won't cut it in some states and conversational terms don't always fly either.
Except that it's a state by state definition, not federal.
They figured out that he wouldn't be able to pay them because they figured out that they wouldn't win the case because they figured out his evidence wasn't worth shit.
They figured out the facts in the case.

So, I can assume from the juvenile structure and tone of your first paragraph that you didn't attend college?
Perhaps it hasn't occurred to you that people don't *require* college for any of those things?
"Never memorize what you can look up in books."
Said by the man who had an absolute shit-load of physics knowledge memorized.
"No guarantee of course, just a better chance, but isn't some opportunity better than no opportunity?"
Depends on the ratio of the cost of that 'better chance' and exactly how better that chance is.
No, he's not. I've seen his code.

Friggin' brilliant.
I'm talking about the "shut up and help yourself" talk we heard after Katrina.
I must have missed that as a general attitude from any significant group. Could you please provide a link? Many thanks.
