In how many occupations do you hold your hands up in front of your face for long periods of time? From art to shelf stacking I can't say any one of them involved persistently waving my forelimbs around in my eyeline.
Here's a test: for the next week, only use your handhelds with them held up in front of you, level with your head.
You get that "shortage" crap in aviation too? In the sciences we're always being told about a scientist shortage by industry. They simply want there to be more of us so that we'd be cheaper to hire, so they pressure the government to get more scientists graduating each year.
Nothing special about my cohort in particular, it's just the way the economy and culture work places all the spending power and employment, and all the social interest, with the 25-35 crowd. Our time will pass as well.
The pleasure of applying one's abilities to an interesting problem. Those are the people you have to watch out for, the ones who would do the work even if they weren't getting told to or paid to.
There's been a push for AR as the output device for expert systems, basically to walk a nonspecialist through a procedure in situations where it's not possible to send a specialist. The classic is instructing an astronaut on an unanticipated medical procedure or a soldier through a battlefield repair on some important apparatus. If you're going to use AR to guide the operator, it should probably be their UI too.
The consumer applications are a way to sell a few bad prototypes and keep the company going while they get major industries involved I'm sure.
Referring to them as "young adults" would force people from older generations to engage with the fact that they've aged out of their role as the dominant cultural and economic force. It would tie with the enormous cottage industry in writing editorials about how my generation is going to ruin the planet, at any rate.
If you travel for light years at the speed of light, then from your perspective as passenger it still takes years. The issue with relativity is that for the people at rest with respect to you, it seems even longer.
You'd hope so, but I could imagine some company somewhere has a public-facing NAS that stores the only copies of their mission-critical database, which is probably being used by some software which implodes permanently if the database becomes unavailable for more than eight seconds without prior notice.
Setting aside the issue of cloud storage, I'd like to point out that any file you don't back up is one you may lose. Leaving the only version on Box is as bad as leaving the only version on your hard drive.
If they were just consumer products, maybe, but the risks with an unsolicited firmware update on business NAS are large enough that they probably won't want to touch it.
Communication is an odds game. If you talk to an audience in such a way that 99% of them will take the incorrect meaning from what you say, and 1% will take the correct one, you're not being pragmatic.
All oversight impedes the one's ability to do one's job. The whole point is that it's a trade-off against the costs of the lack of oversight. Other things that impede law enforcement:
1) Need to actually prove someone committed a crime 2) Restrictions on tasering people "because they look a bit crimey" 3) Not permitted to use seized drugs to hold a "pot brownie fundraiser"
I suspect he's dealing with the thorny philosophical issue of whether a property, increasing from one value to another, inherently transitions through all the intermediate values.
My point is simply that when you choose to use that word, out of all the words that can be used to indicate that something has been an upward trend, you're using the one word that most succinctly indicates that it said property is now in decline. It ain't a great choice.

You don't actually know how a DoWhatever grand challenge works, do you?

Which lobby does the NSA serve?
I think you've underestimated how many people want to be "a Indiana Jones" and the ever-present contingent committed to a career as a fire truck.
The term was coined for people who were going to "come of age" after 2000, so basically anyone born after the early '80s.

You have a closer point of comparison, or are you just being a smartass?

The kind of company that puts their NAS on the public internet strikes me as the kind whose system probably isn't that well-behaved.
Not above the mid-Atlantic rift, on the happy clappy ocean with air and sun and fishing. On it.

Probably for the same reason they're not patched: disinterested deployment.

No more than the creation of a godlike observer is necessary for testing for hidden variables in QM.
One is used as the model for the underlying behavior, one describes the observations we would make.

Well, as I said, if you're going to communicate, you've got to consider how the recipient will parse the message.
