It would make a lot more sense to build up a map of regions where areas with the highest shortages are plotted, much like the US drought monitor but worldwide.
There are areas within countries with a lot of water like Canada where there's a shortage because the population density is too high as well as areas where there's no shortage of water even though it's arid because few people live there.
NDAs in proprietary software is there for a reason - to protect the software vendor against revelations that they have done wrong, all the way from copyright infringement (like breaking an open source license condition in their solution), backdoors, security shortcuts etc. If it possibly can exist it will exist in the closed code.
As being involved in the car industry - I can agree upon the observation. Just look at the Autosar platform, it's a collection of bugs in tight formation that has been sold to the car industry as the greatest solution since the invention of the stone axe. But for everyone that have been working with internet solutions it's revealed to be a very clunky solution that doesn't really improve things, it just adds overhead.
Today the car industry starts to look at Ethernet as a replacement for CAN, but then there are complaints about it causing a higher power consumption and therefore there's a "need" to do quirky solutions like separating traffic on VLANs on the same physical bus, and that separation into VLANs is enough to offer sufficient security against intrusions and overload attacks (intentional through malware or unintentional through bugs).
In addition to this it's worth to realize that when you buy a car you only buy the hardware, you aren't permitted to know anything about the software. So essentially the manufacturer could say that you can keep the car but we have to erase the software in it - leaving you with a 2 ton shell of steel and plastics.
In the end it all falls back to the fact that crimes shouldn't be committed. If catching someone for a petty crime it may mean that the person is possible to change away from the path of crime - or it means that you actually get a bigger fish on the hook than you expected.
As long as the authorities comes clean with how they obtained the evidence I think it's up to the court to decide if prosecution shall proceed or not, not that the evidence shall be dismissed.
Backdooring business is risky but also very profitable, just because you didn't see it doesn't mean that it's non-existent. It may just mean that it needs a specific trigger to get activated.
I agree that it's more like a balloon popping news than revolutionary news. And in any case - there's still C and assembly somewhere.
When I look at the code examples my opinion is that it reminds me of a mix of C/C++ and Pascal. Not necessarily bad, just an observation.
What I think lacks when it comes to the Go compiler are the number of platforms supported, some are missing, like ARM and MIPS. Hopefully that will come as well.
How about translation tools - something that can convert Java to Go?
It all depends on what you do. For me 16GB seems to be OK with Windows 7, at work my computer was essentially bricked with 4GB and with 8GB it's bearable.
The worst problem is actually programs that don't manage memory usage well.
It's actually not the number of hours worked that matters - it's the knowledge needed to solve a problem quickly that matters. If person A uses one week to solve a problem while person B uses one hour it may look like person B is slacking between the tasks solved. On idle periods person B may have room to slack but when the shit hits the fan person B may be the one the company needs while person A instead goes into mental block unable to proceed.
The network itself isn't hostile, but the overlords controlling the net may be. But even worse are the darker corners of the web where your personal information is for sale in bulk for a dollar or less per person - including CC numbers.
Of course we need to keep an eye on the watchers on the net, but we should at the same time not exclude them completely but instead feed them with information that keeps them busy and hopefully have them make the net less risky for ordinary people. Feed them info about IS recruiters, CC fraudsters and Nigerian Scammers and they will at least put less effort on other tasks.
It's like those multitools or Swiss army knives - they get the job done, but not very efficient. The difference is that there's no prize for second place when it comes to fighter jets.
And neither the F-22 nor F-35 are really good replacements for the A-10. You can probably send a MMA fighter (A-10) to do ballet dancing, but you can sure not send a ballet dancer to do MMA fighting.
California survives currently by draining the ground water table - something that has dropped for the last century. And draining ground water means that salt water intrusion may occur, which happens in some places. Ground water loss have been the norm since at least 1964. http://voices.nationalgeograph...
So right now California is draining every available resource just to stay afloat, but in the trend is bad since when even the ground water is depleted there's no reserves.
No, I have encountered a case where the designers decided that a dual scale speedometer (MPH and km/h) was ugly and that caused some really shitty side effects in implementation for vehicles with the MPH scale because they are legally obliged to also display km/h.
The problem with the art designers is that they are often making a complete mess of things from a functionality perspective. If you see stuff that looks weird on a car you can be sure that there was a graphic designer involved that thought that it did look good - or that a functional design did look ugly so they changed it.

Meanwhile the Dead Sea shrinks every year.
Or move people to where the water is?
License to procreate would be a step ahead.

We are just seeing the tip of an iceberg here - we can't trust our computers anymore.
I see that the extortionists use of bitcoins is what may kill the currency and force the world to traceable transactions even harder.
To me Dart is "Dual Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter", like the Z-80 DART.

Interesting approach, but will it work in reality?
You can't jail a company but you can force liquidation of it in order to secure the assets for the fine.
Should be a liquidation of the company as well.

The US is not a full democracy, it's a republic.
The day the US have a proportional election system and frequent referendums is the day they have achieved democracy.

I have a few videos on YouTube as well, but I don't monetize from them, I just provide them "as is" for the pleasure (or disgust) of the viewer.
I don't see that my videos have a quality or content that appeals too the masses in general, but may be of interest for people with special interests.
Since it's Public Domain - then don't monetize from it. Deal with it, but you can use it as a promotion to other videos you have made instead.
I see what you did there! :)
