Your "base data" is about global warming, the article is about: "The problem is a geological phenomenon called subsidence." A sinking continental shelf. I guess the first one you can combat with CO2 free energy, the later not.
You are mixing up "unemployed who lost the job" with youth or immigrants who never had a job. Of course it is also a question how high level the job was. The unemployment money is a fraction of your former wage. So if I e.g. earned $3000 after taxes, I get about $2000 unemployment money. A guy who just finished school and is now unemployed since two years gets $800 or less.
Exactly... why would I track, my readings, as if I'm to dumb to remember when I read a book the last time? Ire read a book after a few years after I read it last time... I just go to my library and browse through them, take them in my hand and think about it... However I would like it if my eBook readers would know when I bought or downloaded a book and when I read it.
As soon as the first child gets injured in or by a robocar, the class-action lawyers are bound to come out in droves. Class actions don't work for single incidents. Or more precisely a single victim.
Protests and riots erupt nearly every time the G20 meets, in whichever country, almost always spearheaded by hard-line communists and anarchists who publicly advocate revolutions So rioters are automatically labeled as "hard-line communists"?
I doubt there were any communists in Hamburg at the G20 "riots".
Erm, what do you mean with 'save maritim trade'? If the US capture Chinese ships, or any other nations, it is called: war You might think the US can winany war, well, unless you are ready to use nukes: no. Do you really think the US could win a war against a randomly picked european country? Why? Becuae you have more carriers? The US carriers would not run any more after they get cut from european suppies after 6 weeks. The US has not even the technology to craft the ropes that capture the landing panes on a carrier.
Code that works fine when compiled with MSVC, might raise an error when compiled with clang, breaking the build for other developers. Developing any large C++ software, and supporting compiling it with multiple different C++ compilers, adds overhead to the day-to-day development of that software. Yes, and that is why many companies actually do compile the code with different compilers on build farms to see if it compiles and run the tests against different binaries. Heck, many even use just one compiler but try to see if the tests run on all optimization levels.
My point was: as soon as you have a platform specific binary (e.g. windows or linux), then all debuggers on that platform can debug it. So there is nothing special missing or suddenly there.
Clang runs in windows since quite a while, probably since 2014 or even before. That was not the news.
The news is: Chrome is now build with Clang and no longer with MVC++...
If we had gone in on foot there would have been hundreds of thousands of American soldiers killed That is unlikely and going in on food was not the point, surround them and blockade them. Japan has no resources, except steel perhaps... and they where starving to death already. However not losing the country to the Russians is a point. On the other hand they did not lose China to the Russians either.
As I'm usually working in enterprise environments I'm painful aware:D But I work in Europe... mostly Germany, and windows for servers is uncommon in "large" enterprises.
"if i am unemployed, in europe, i lead a normal life" Actually you do. In Germany every employee pays 1% of his income as unemployment insurance "to the state". If he gets unemployed he gets for a relatively long period of time about 60% of his former wage from the insurance. Tax free.
The percentages of the other European states slightly differ.
Correct. MS could go the way of the dodo^H^H^H^H Sun.
I still remember when we played "Nothing like the Sun" when we got our first couple of Spark Pizza Box workstations... and now we have to fear if Solaris stays afloat and what is happening to Java.
Don't forget that linux and the GNU tools etc. mostly were written by CS students PhD students etc. I studied at KiT, Karlsruhe, starting 1987.
As an CS student you had to do your homework on Macs, and every serious course was on a Workstation (as it was defined at that time, that means SGI, Apollo, HP UX, Dec Ultrix, Sun BSD, or Vaxen or a Vector computer, later experimental parallel computers, like MasPar - yeah, vector computers, mainframes and MasPars are no workstations, but you had a Unix Workstation as frontend to work with them. Yes we had a mainframe, too, a Siemens BS2000, a clone of an IBM mainframe)
Only non CS students used Windows to write their diploma thesis or do what ever they did. The institute for linguistics and germanistics was an exception, they had Macs and Unix boxes.
Basically all students I knew either had an Amiga or Atari, or a Mac or a PC. On PCs they ran linux (slackware around 0.8 - 0.9 was common), I think linux was not ported then to Amiga or Atari machines.
Windows won on the desktop via offices and business. I should check my old university once, after all I'm mostly in town, but I doubt any CS institution is running a Windows system for education. Most likely everything is Linux and a few vendor sponsored unix boxes.
The IT guys I've talked to that manage Linux servers complain about how finicky it still is to do the simplest of tasks, meanwhile in Windows it takes a minute. Tops. This is because they memorized the clickldy click click path in their admin tools and over time even consider all that "logically" organized. With linux/unix you simply learn how a computer works, and which tool you use for what. Of course some of the tools have arcane interface because of programmers with poor understanding. E.g. git... a non native english speaker imagines sets of commands in english with certain options and half of them only lead to misunderstandings by the users. And some of the commands simply brain dead falsely named. And that is a new tool... old tools have better english usage but awkward (usually for a reason) usages, e.g. the find command: find . -name "*.class" -exec rm {} \; Looks awkward, why is "*.class" in quotes? Because you want to pass the pattern to the find command, and not let it be expanded by the shell. Why is the ';' masked with a backslash (\) ? Again, it would be interpreted by the shell, but it should be passed to find. Most Windows "pseudo admins" have no clue about computers except that they can admin the niche of their OS they are working on.
Because the compiler is opening, reading, writing and closing files all the time. Unless you have a micro kernel architecture where the File System is in a separate micro kernel... how else would you write/read files in a compiler?
Java runs on Windows just fine... and I'm pretty sure Oracle or Sybase (has now a different name) or PstgreSQL run just fine on Windows, too. And plenty others...
However using Windows for servers is frowned upon by professionals.

The Netherlands build dikes and other water works since a few centuries, probably more than 500 years (to lazy to google).
The investments since the 1950s (Germany does the same btw) are mainly a response to some massive winter storms (storm floods).
Yeah, but think about the Slugs, you insensitive clod!
Your "base data" is about global warming, the article is about: "The problem is a geological phenomenon called subsidence." A sinking continental shelf. I guess the first one you can combat with CO2 free energy, the later not.
I guess it makes more sense to build a small dike.

With that mind set I can only point out:
USA has some 375 million inhabitants
the rest of the world about 7.5 billions
Good luck pissing everyone off!

I'm pretty sure NT on an DEC Alpha was in no way faster than DEC Ultrix on the DEC Alpha :D
Anyway, there is no single reason why Windows became dominant but many factors together.
"if i am unemployed, in europe, i lead a normal life"
Actually you do.

Countries like Japan deal with this by discouraging expression. ...
Expression of what?
Ever been in Japan? Guessed so
They also have unusually high suicide rates.
But not for the reasons you think.
In Japan unemployment is a shame.
In America it is a disgrace.
In Europe it is _normal_
I did not know that Linus is paying M$ 2 billion dollars per year.
How does Linus earn so much money?
You have any references for patent fees from "Linux" or "Android" to M$?
Correct.

Linux is software.
On top of it runs software that might be or might not be portable to another OS.
If it is not, it is hard to find something superior which is worth requiting or porting millions of lines of code to it.
