But is the pattern spotting ability of somebody with less than average pattern spotting ability "good enough". There is also some level of social skills that is "good enough". How about people on the opposite end of the AQ spectrum; those as far removed from the average as aspergers.
Credit cards aren't a system to make payments easier, they are a system to make getting credit easier. If you're only using them for payments, they're not making money off of you (or atleast not a lot). Getting a bigger credit limit only to use it for larger payments just means you cost them more.
It's weird that a lesser ability to socialize (high AQ) is considered a condition whereas a lesser ability to see patterns and handle information (low AQ) is considered normal.
If unbreakable encryption is outlawed, only outlaws will use unbreakable encryption.
Strong (not to say "unbreakable") encryption is out there. It will be used. The question is whether you want it to be a weapon used by all or only against you.
The weird thing is that the US president is as important as he is at all. Why isn't he just "the head of ministers" that he a president is in most countries; just like all the other ministers with a few specific extra responsibilities. Instead, in the US, the president is like a king; exactly the type of ruler they opposed so ardently.
Notepad: because the OS has to come with some text editor, and tiny Notepad is sufficient for editing OS text files. Pluma I've never heard of. Word because WordPerfect was lagging with support for the then-new Windows OS. Vi because people wanted an terminal-based text-editor with a different user interface paradigm. Notepad++ because Notepad had too few features and there weren't many good Notepad replacements at the time.
What is that archaic nonsense you speak of. Can you give an example?
I'm still wonder why I'd ever want to use Atom. Sure, it has some nice things in it, but it's still nowhere even remotely close to other programmers' editors. Nor does it seem to offer anything that could significantly improve on those editors or that would be in any way harder to implement on those editors. What is so special about Atom and why are Github pushing it so much?
They sure can. But the settings files for the individual vehicles will be identical accross all cars of the same model. It's kinda like translations; you're only using one set of them, but they're still considered part of the code. Otherwise, please explain why programming language IS source code and some more specialized and limited language (what these files are) ISN'T source code.
A generic config file is something that is supposed to be tailored to the individual end-user. In the case you describe it would be a static file that would be identical for each installation of the code. How is that any different from a very specialized domain-specific programming language?
Mimic rehashes an old idea that we all thought died out with MSN: "Replace normal characters like a semicolon (;) with a Greek question mark (;) in your friend's batch files and watch them pull out the previous branch from version control." There are quite a few characters in the Unicode character set that look, to some extent or another, like others – so almost homoglyphs, but not quite. Mimic is a horribly convoluted implementation of what is essentially search & replace. Caution: using this script may get you laughed at and/or promoted to entry level computer hardware mover.
You can pay $ for somebody to fix those bug and make improvements. Or do you think such work should be free? The difference is that now you can pay whoever you like to change that code, instead of being locked in to one specific developer.
You should start reading comments. Pretty much the same comment was posted by somebody else about three and a half hours ago. If I had to chose between reading an on-topic comment with spelling mistakes or a gramatically flawless off-topic comment that just repeats what somebody else already said, I'd chose the former.

This.

Must have been somebody who's quite fond of statistics.

Because you keep forgetting them?

Not just a few mobile games, but entire goldfarming datacenters would use the API!
Or do the results have to be atleast somewhat reliable?
There are valid uses of the word "like".
I don't see GP abusing it.
Followed soon by "Siri, what's the weather like?", "Sorry, I can't tell you because we don't yet have a weather reporting product to sell to you.".
They sure can. But the settings files for the individual vehicles will be identical accross all cars of the same model.

Not only that, but it's ENCLOSED! That's so much more efficient than a caseless design.
Can the car makers require that their custom compiler tool-chain is used?
That file would be considered source code as well.
What guarantee do you have that your cars runs the code you were allowed to see?
I'll be part of the crew, but I think my live will be wasted on the way back.

Nobody says you have to work on it for that length of time.
If you can get it done in one day, it's $3500 per day.

Like how public transport destroys good paying car manufacturing jobs.
How is "pinning" any different from any other type of hyperlink?
