Just to amplify a bit, IT and programming do not occur in isolation. Each job has a context and the context is frequently complicated. So MS and others can produce a tool that promises to make a particular job easy, but those tools will not be able to bring the context into the user's mind. That's where it gets hard because many people do not have what it takes to learn context. So they can bang around on a keyboard, but they won't be designing a control system given the latest panoply of tools for the job. Rather they will cobble together some brief example code, some stuff they googled for, and incorporate a few suggestions from coworkers they could be arsed to ask.
Yes, it is an objective standard...and one that does not follow science in any way. He has an objective standard on air pollution: more is better than less. He has an objective standard on health care: no one but he needs it. He has an objective standard on dictators: dictators good, democratic leaders bad. He has an objective standard for everything, they are just the particularly demented standards of a 12 year old.
Yes, well, I too doubt Trump has put in more than five minutes of effort into this. And since he has the attention span of gnat, I doubt he's put 5 minutes total into any of his "decisions". The man is an air-head and people cannot believe anyone could be that inert.
Oh? Care to look into all the wonders of Mother Nature in determine sex and gender? There are several dozens of things that go towards making penis or no-penis an incredibly stupid way to make these determinations.
Given enough time, every prophecy ever written, even by dolts and idiots, will come true at least once. Think of it as a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics.
You have to understand what you are buying. embedded FPGA means to have an SoC design in hand (say, your favorite FrankenARM SoC which you licensed all the IP for and have a foundry lined up). You now get to license their FPGA IP and put that in your SoC as well...after a suitable redesign of your SoC because what was previously off-board is now on-board. It would probably be a significant engineering effort to integrate the FPGA IP with your own designs.
"anti-Trump whining," yes, it does get irritating. However, have you ever listened to Trump. He's the Whiner-in-Chief. He's always complaining about something and how evil forces are out to destroy him. If he ever looks in the mirror, he'll demand to put himself in the hoosegow.
Libertarian ideology is a malign influence that promises people get to do what they want to others without blowback. It was made-for-hire by the Evangelicals who figure they can take their wealth with them when they go to the Great Litter Box in the Sky.
I doubt the "deal" was ever about creating jobs and such for Wisconsin from Wisconsin's point of view. It was merely Walker and fellow travelers (Paul Ryan) figuring that they'd get a short term pop to get through the next election without looking like knobs. Now that its failing to produce, they figured if they don't talk about it, it doesn't exist.
"A lot of people are going to want the stable paycheck of working for IBM instead of trying to start a new company. "
Errrrmmm....I see you haven't been getting the memos. IBM has been bleeding their U.S. personal as fast as they can. Red Hatters would do well to eyeball their exit strategies.
I once saw a boy-scout troop on campus during the summer. I presumed it was some educational camp. I was struck by how fat and out of shape 10-12 year old boys could be. I imagine that their parents were no different given the boy-scout leaders I saw.
So I agree, parents need to turn off the boob tubes (of whatever form) and spend time with their kids. Yet, if they do not adopt healthier life styles, they are dooming those kids to a lifetime of health misery.
Imagine you are Chinese scientists working on the nanofibres. You manage to produce a few. You can (1) announce an array of practicable use cases that will get buried in the Chinese Communist Party propaganda, or (2) eyes a-blazing, announce that the Space Elevators are now possible thus giving the Chinese Communist Part bragging rights that they have the most massive tubes of anyone and hence Taiwan should be theirs, they deserved to steal Tibet, and that in another 100 years the Uighurs will be merely a figment of the world's imagination seeing as their land is now populated by Han Chinese.
MS revenues for 2018 will be about $110 Billion. $10 Billion divided over 10 years won't float their boat much. It is more about metastasizing in the U.S. military even further than the crapware they already afflicting DoD with.
Oh, maybe you are looking at the 3.5% GDP rise in the last quarter and attributing it to military spending. The WSJ reports it contributed.21% last quarter due to increase defense spending. Mostly that was on stuff that had been ignored during the earlier 8 years. So your military-industrial complex is decimal dust in the scheme of a $20 trillion economy.

More to the point, the Siemens was pissed because it showed they were clueless in terms of security and that now others would notice.
Impossible, they have religion.
Yeah, not even the Russkies would have thought to use something like Stuxnet if we hadn't shown them how.
Oh, how we may lament the thought of losing the high moral ground in computer security. If we still had that, by gum that'd have stopped'em.

Got to feed the Evangelicals their Hatred of the Year meat. It's the only way to get them to vote.
Not human caused red tides. It take a really brain dead industry and government to screw up this royally in the case of Florida.

So you are saying that IBM has been asleep at the wheel for the last 8 years. Buying Red Hat won't save them, IBM is IBM's enemy.

" This leaves inadequate time for a child interested in learning to program to do so." Oh, so they'd have time to learn science then.
Imagine the Chinese gift for hyperbole outrunning your common sense.

Hmmm...what about the people who give their own lives so that someone or others may live?

I'd rather that the Chinese have MS technology, it is the best thing the U.S. could do to set back their military.
