..(at least as I see it) it's more about convenience. As in with a movement of your hand active switches when you enter a room, sits down at your work place or in front of your TV-screen. It's a tool for preferences. Seen from security perspective it's lacking in the same way (and more so) as finger prints, face recognition etc: it's too easy to replicate.
1979 i did a test and was employed as a programmer at the Post Office in Sweden. (I had no knowledge about programming except some theoretical but there was a lack of programmers at that point in Sweden.) The computer was an IBM mainframe and the lang was COBOL and assembler. Learned COBOL by a self study course and the rest by experience.
The main problem with the usage of these kind of tools is that they often is used as a remedy for the lack of skill and knowledge by the programmers. And they of course always fails that.
Managers without managing skills in the area of IT projects = easy target for selling tools.
I've been at my current company 25 years now. Based on what I heard people saying about me (often in third hand by people that had worked with me and is now based at other companys) I'm technically and methodically in top among comparable professionals and very good at taking in new areas of software systems. I have also never seen anyone be "in full speed" after 3 months. And by full speed I mean handling the application/system as good as one that have worked with it e g 5 years. Of course, I would had a better career if I had switched jobs much more often. But not all people is career oriented, some like me like the job we're doing where we are and like our coworkers and therefore decides to stay. OTOH I'm a dinosaur that began programming 1979 and is probably obsolete.;-)
Actually, Hollandes popularity poll number was raised after this affair was published. In France, having a mistress is a natural thing. The only requirement is handling it discrete. In Hollandes case he did that, but the journalists did nevertheless find it out when they found that he leaved his resident through a backdoor and went to the mistress on a bicycle.

That has mainframe systems done for decades. (Think airline booking systems and banks.) And they do it quite well.
It's not only about "knowing of right vs wrong", maybe the more important point is whether they can *control* their behavior. This point is also why we should not put children in prisons.
There is no such thing as "safe" radiation, so eliminating all man-made causes is a good thing, even if the levels are lower than background in some areas.
People die because the don't eat and because of infections. They don't eat because they have to use all their money to get he drug. And they get infections becuase they don't have access to clean injection needles - mainly because of the criminalization.
"The primary architecture of an operating system comprises the following seven areas:
Resource allocation
Process creation, control and communication
Symbol resolution and linkage
Data descriptor schema
Data management
Program run-time environment
Communication with external systems, devices, and emulators."
" By contrast, the secondary architecture is an open-ended list that evolves throughout the lifetime of the system. Whereas the primary architecture is one and cannot be subdivided, the secondary architecture can come in an endless variety of sizes and capabilities. Some examples of the secondary facilities include:
Editors
Command interpreters
HLL [High-Level Language] compilers and interpreters
Query facilities
Formatting/presentation facilities
Application development facilities
Information/HELP facilities
Program analyzers
Data validity checkers
Migration aids
Various design aids
Etc., etc., etc."
FWIW, when I started 1979 in "data" as it was called then, I had zero education in anything computer-related. Or any coding experience. I learned everything by using it, manuals and some courses in the beginning. (I showed my interest in computers where I worked and by good result in an IBM-test was transferred to the computing part of the company. Later on I have worked both as a system analyst, DBA and a semi sysprog.)
A funny thing about beginning this way was that I started with a self-study course in COBOL which went fine the first days until they began to talk about tracks and cylinders where they lost me completely!:) I knew nothing about harddisks etc then. My first program was punched in cards.:) Then written in coding forms...

I suppose you have a source for this...? Oh, BTW, a russian source will not impress me.

Manning released information that shows US military committing war crimes - ordered ultimately by US government. Which is the same as the country.
War criminals have no right to judge anyone else.
Kill your darlings.

I don't recommend you to work in Finland... :)

AC as usual.
AFAIK, not here in Sweden.
Either you have proof or you don't know.

I do not agree with your definition of a operating system. I rather prefer the definition as written at http://www.jfsowa.com/computer/memo125.htm :
"The primary architecture of an operating system comprises the following seven areas:
Resource allocation
Process creation, control and communication
Symbol resolution and linkage
Data descriptor schema
Data management
Program run-time environment
Communication with external systems, devices, and emulators."
