You are right. "Leaders" in WDC are more concerned about growing their wealth and power and holding onto their jobs and cooperating with "the other party" than in anything that has to do with making the country and its people more efficient.
You got it wrong. Fiber is needed to give Google and advertisers more bandwidth and thus income.
I see one technology site that has a short article with a few paragraphs I want to read and it has over 2 dozen connections to URLs for tracking purposes.
Blue Collar Workers w/o a conscience sometimes (rarely) choose to cheat to get their "retirement." But it is the IT manager's nightmare. In other words, IT management ain't ever gonna be easy.
Same for Paypal. GoDaddy tried to bill me for something I hadn't ordered nor did I have the funds in my PayPal account, but PayPal decided I was no longer a worthy customer. Don't know how to resolve it.
As an engineer, I have deep suspicions when 'better' RP machine press articles don't have a single reference to accuracy or tolerances. That usually means they are still trying to improve the technology and don't want to get caught in a lie.
Just to be straight up: Aspirin kills over 10,000 people a year in the US and Ibuprofen & similar NSAIDs do the same. If you mix alcohol and either aspirin or ibuprofen together, you can get deadly gastrointestinal hemorrhages, which happen to be as deadly as heart attacks. Don't do continuous daily aspirin or ibuprofen without a doctor's advice..
A healthy marathoner friend preparing for his next marathon was pushing hard and taking a lot of ibuprofen every day to limit pain. He noted to my neighbor he was having a little blood in the toilet. My neighbor asked him what he was doing the rest of the day. The marathoner said he was going wherever and my friend said "Cancel it!" What? was the reply. My friend said get to the Em. Dept. now, now one hour from now, now. The marathoner had massive internal GI lesions and was in the hospital for over a month. He was plain lucky he didn't die.
Wikileaks may be defiled by the CIA, but their leaked document releases show what determined foreign governments have also probably done and maybe done before the CIA did it. So, it is likely the Russians hated the release of these documents as much as the CIA & NSA!
The whole affair has given all who came to the Electronic Party a big wake up call.
Do you want a gizmo in your kitchen or living room listening to everything that is said?
Worse yet, do you want to have it recording and maybe issuing commands? What if your kid screams "I am going to kill you." and the SWAT team shows up?
Then probably the worst case is a teenager saying something unprintable, and the child social services shows up with law enforcement.
At least once, my program in Fortran, which had many IF/THEN loops, had an unfortunate page feed loop.
I can attest to how high the paper flew out of the old IBM printer and how fast a box of paper was emptied. It happened before you could react to stop it.
Come on now. We can drive large screens & run entirely off of an Internet connection.
We know computers can be hacked, but they can also be turned off & various tools can tell us if suspicious data is going out of our computer and stop it.

Epoxy the USB ports!
Mega data-set analysis is not what keeps people alive &a productive every day.
Most decisions are "either-or", "if-when" or "how-why". I doubt computers can do better when there are only two choices. Just my guess.
Which is why Apple's MBPs have discrete Video card as an extra option.
And phaseout, w/Apple joining with Intel, may mean Apple will save part of the $100+ in QualComm royalties.
QualComm has shot itself in the foot.
Security only applies to everyone else.

Efficient government is not in the plans!

Too much money for the OS dev.
Too much programming anew for developers.
Too much for matching up with hardware.
Too much for any sane normal phone user to put up with.

In 2 centuries, people have expanded their numbers by an order of magnitude and become literally a monoculture.
I could go on, but the note above suggests that like agricultural systems (which people surely are actually), monocultures have fast die-offs.
Fix it now or it costs you 2 orders of magnitude more when the (code) boat sinks.
"Why can't we xxxxxxxx?
VPs tend to shut down these sorts of quesitons with stock answers, because they want their position to be stable until they jump ship.
Touch, no, unless they mean the Sun's residue particles.
Cool? No way. We are at about 94 million miles from the Sun now. Going to 4 million miles will up the amount of radiation by orders of magnitude.
We succumb to the overlords when we use proprietary software!

Who in the heck was monitoring for changes to Oracle's software? Too many unanswered questions.
Not unless you have the tools and ability to calibrate the system, or it might not be set up right, or something else might still be wrong.
At least once, my program in Fortran, which had many IF/THEN loops, had an unfortunate page feed loop.

Seems like we need to simplify our data devices.
Is extremely risky business.
Unless you can get them to quickly buy you out, you can easily get run over. A few win, a lot lose.
People living longer will make Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid bomb out even sooner.
