Software with readable but all rights reserved source code is sufficient to safeguard privacy
How much "Software with readable but all rights reserved source code" executes on a typical end user computing device, compared to the amount of software whose source code is a trade secret?

The ONLY thing Apple and Google should be doing for their "app store" approval process is to make sure the app is not malware, i.e. won't infect/compromise your system.
That depends on a precise definition of "compromise your system" on which all parties can agree. If you let Apple define "compromise your system", you end up with the present App Store Review Guidelines, just with an excuse below each line item as to why Apple deems a violation a "compromise" of the iOS experience.
In my online experience, I've read about parents who enforce screen time limits that are so tight that a student would struggle even to complete homework for an AP Computer Science class or any other homework that the teacher requires to be typed. This leaves inadequate time for a child interested in learning to program to do so.
If you have a problem with that, then YOU can buy the property.
And watch your government plead the Fifth* to "take" you up on that offer. What would you consider "just compensation"?
* The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution not only prohibits compelling self-incrimination but also lays the framework for eminent domain, the most common name for compulsory sale under United States law. Other countries' laws have compulsory sale provisions as well.
I see educated parents sending their kids to auto mechanics training at $10,000 instead of coding boot camp. What is the sense of this?
I have at least four guesses.
Occasionally I see a fear in parents of exposing children to too much "screen time", such as giving a child around age 14 only 3 hours of PC time per week.
Or the parents live outside the service area of wired high-speed Internet, and wireless has a prohibitive cost per gigabyte of monthly data transfer quota.
Or the parents want a job that can't be outsourced to an offshore firm, and they see computer programming as more vulnerable to outsourcing.
Or they want a job that the child can perform locally, without having to move to another city to find a first job.
In the course of looking for political bias, a reviewer would also inadvertently come across "facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent". But because they are trained in looking for political bias, not copyright infringement, he or she wouldn't know what to do with these "facts or circumstances". Because the reviewer has seen the infringing post, the company is legally deemed "aware", despite that the reviewer isn't looking for that sort of misbehavior.
GitHub made an application framework called Electron that is essentially a copy of Chrome hardcoded to view one website. Applications built with Electron, such as Slack, Discord, and modern Skype, tend to be RAM hogs, well into the triple digit MB per application. On laptops with 4 GB or less RAM, the swap pressure caused by running more than one Electron application at once makes Emacs look like "Eight Megs And Constantly Smooth".
So I guess with the purchase of GitHub made official, we can officially refer to this as "Microsoft Electron".
From 17 USC 512(c)(1)(A) in your second link, it appears that a provider that has not yet received a notification of claimed infringement can avail itself of the OCILLA safe harbor only if it:
(i) does not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing; (ii) in the absence of such actual knowledge, is not aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent;
I think the legal theory was that a provider that proactively polices its users' material for copyright infringement may become considered legally "aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent" without practical ability to recognize said "facts or circumstances" as such. It's the same reason that some companies' legal departments discourage their employees from reading patents: as a willful blindness strategy to avoid treble damages and attorney's fees for willful patent infringement.
Success at MMA or any other contact sport largely depends on the robot built around the computer. Does the chess boxing match in this joke take place before or after Boston Dynamics and its line of doglike robots?
Windows is indeed an expensive platform to develop against (Microsoft's C compiler - Visual Studio - can cost upwards of $2000 for a team),
MinGW and Visual Studio Community are available without charge, both natively on Windows and (in MinGW's case) as a cross-compiler that runs on GNU/Linux. But they still require a $200 copy of Windows on which to test the resulting executable, with all the associated costs (even apart from that of the Windows license itself).
hence most new apps being web apps
Which aren't very compatible with browsers whose users who have disabled any script in the browser on grounds that pervasive monitoring of viewers' interests by ad exchanges has poisoned the well.
and even many desktop apps are simply HTML/JS compiled against all platforms simultaneously.
This still requires an instance of all five platforms on which to test, plus a developer license for iOS.
That's still running Windows: a $199.99 per seat license (source), plus double the RAM to run both the X11/Linux host and the Windows guest, plus time and Internet download allowance spent on keeping each tester's Windows VM updated, especially if the company isn't big enough to subscribe to WSUS or other centralized management.
Who still develops pure Windows applications? Even Microsoft is releasing their tools on Mac and Linux nowadays.
A company that hasn't yet expanded to offer its applications on macOS, which is even more expensive per seat than Windows as you have to use a $500+ dongle (Mac mini) or a $1300+ monitor (iMac). Or do you claim that a company ought to offer its desktop applications to the public exclusively on X11/Linux for some period before expanding to Windows?
I guess I need to understand your viewing model. Are you referring to catch-up, where subscribers can watch a half dozen episodes of each series that were most recently aired on a channel, or binge watching a whole season? I'll admit that VOD from the cable company leans toward catch-up more than binge, though last I checked, the catch-up selection on Xfinity On Demand was fairly extensive. Conventional wisdom is that Netflix and other over-the-top VOD services are better for binge.
Is there demand for, say, the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards on demand?
if companies insist on using Windows even though you're a developer, I'm sure you wouldn't want to work there either.
Then how do developers of Windows applications prefer to test the Windows applications that they are developing? I doubt they rely on Wine for testing.
I installed debian stable to a bakery's boy's snsa eee 1000 netbook
You dodged one there, as the same company's Transformer Book T100TA has serious problems under Debian. Suspend, Bluetooth, backlight brightness, and camera are all broken, and you might need a separate USB network adapter to download nonfree drivers for the WLAN and audio.
A service that requires an Apple device is only free as long as your device remains supported. Then it costs the price of a new Apple device. For example, a new version of macOS drops support for Mac mini models older than about four to six years, causing people who bought a used Mac mini just for Xcode to have to buy a new Mac.
The game itself actually gets pretty monotonous once you reach max speed
That's why modern Tetris has a much higher max speed than classic Tetris. Could you keep up with Shirase mode in Tetris The Grand Master 3: Terror-Instinct? It starts fast, where pieces land immediately on the stack giving you a split second to shift them into place, and only gets faster from there.
Linux runs programs written in Visual Basic 6 through two userspace frameworks: X.Org X11 and Wine. For Visual Basic.NET, it uses X.Org X11 and Mono. What support from the kernel would make VB programs more efficient?
"Religion in Germany" on Wikipedia cites sources claiming that in 2016, nearly 60 percent of Germans were followers of (((Jesus of Nazareth))). That's a whole lot of (((them))).

Traditional cable television services, such as Xfinity by Comcast, come with a selection of video on demand in addition to the linear channels.
Echo brackets are used around names of people with Jewish background. Jesus would certainly qualify.
Isn't this just a "solved game" already?
Classic Tetris isn't solved, but modern Tetris (since 2001) is, as colour_thief and I proved back in 2007. Someone made a video of the solution.

Can you have all three if you replace the banker with a credit unioner?
there is not one society that I know of that really will deal with a known welcher
Not even Wales? Their whole culture is built around welsh. To them, actions come before facts so often that the verb comes first in the sentence.
