And this is one reason why we should not go around Earth, but through it.
Other reasons for developing the necessary technology would be resources (most of Earths heavy elements have long sunk below the crust) and harvesiting geothermal energy.
Hungry for donuts? Need detergent to get donut grease out of your favorite T-shirt?
And you'll also need coffee, and the latest miracle drug to treat obesity. Hey, can we check your insulin levels while we're at it? You already gave us access to your brain, so looking into something as innocent as the level of a hormone shouldn't be an issue, right?
Is it just me, or isn't my typing this with my fingers "typing by brain"?
No, it's typing with muscular peripherals that are connected to your brain via UPPNCP (universal point-to-point neural connection protocol).
Just imagine what happens if either the peripheral is not working correctly or the UPPNCP connection is faulty or severed. Your brain may still want to type, but it can't.
The specification that the Fibonacci routine has to be recursive is stupid in the first place.
Yes. Various coding standards (e.g. MISRA) explicitly forbid any kind of recursion. Also, a programmer should know that any recursive algorithm can be converted to an interative algorithm.
e.g. during an interview, give them a laptop with a terminal, and ask them to write a program to read in a number, and output a "yes" or "no" answer depending on whether the number is prime----95% of the folks you interview would flunk that (in any language).
You want to hire the one person that asks what range these numbers occupy.
Most dictators that turned democracies into dictatorships didn't run as dictators. It just happened that they needed all that power (legislative and judicial in addition to their executive powers) to keep country xyz safe and make it great (again).
Only solution for the under-performing colleague problem
What problem? I'd love some underperforming colleagues, since the yearly ranking is on a relative scale (or rather - the distribution is forced, e.g. 50% of all people need to be ranked "average", 20% good, 10% superior, etc).
Having more underperfoming colleagues vastly increases your chances of getting ranked higher and therefore bigger raises.
Software developers know when they are productive, and being productive means being happy. If they are unproductive because they have to wrestle with stubborn tools, hardware, management, processes, etc, then of course they are unhappy.
The Google thingie needs to determine whether an acoustic input is due to human voice chords or due to a speaker. Anything coming from a speaker should be accompanied by EM emissions that could be picked up with a receiver that's sensitive enough.

Laws that cannot be followed should be void. Just like a law that makes it a crime to exhale on a Sunday and to inhale on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Well, we can fly expensive pieces of sensitive equipment to Mars and deposit them in an orbit (usually) on the surface (sometimes) in working order.
Yet we can's stick a probe into something that's just a few thousand kilometers away.
So install a cooling system. It could double as a geothermal power plant.
Oh come on, it's just a few thousand kilometers of pipes. We can fly to Mars, but we can't install planet-sized plumbing?

... and eventually, it will figure out that it is much more efficient not to wait for you to die from natural causes before replacing you.

Have a nice day.
You don't want to, but FB does. Who knows what little gems of data it can extract from that stream and then monetize ...

The T in IoT is either a) some thing very close to, or even in, your brain or b) your brain
No, you can't.
Engineers like money, for example. You can bait them to return with the prospect of money.
Because these groups can cherry-pick their education and usually don't go through the US high school system.
Yes. Various coding standards (e.g. MISRA) explicitly forbid any kind of recursion. Also, a programmer should know that any recursive algorithm can be converted to an interative algorithm.

There's a difference between "training" and "provide fundamental education".
Because management is too stingy to pay for an engineer and someone who writes the code? Just an example.
I am shocked! I cannot describe how shocked I am.
Most dictators that turned democracies into dictatorships didn't run as dictators. It just happened that they needed all that power (legislative and judicial in addition to their executive powers) to keep country xyz safe and make it great (again).
There's basically a book on how to do this.
Or even "we pay an average salary, but we only want top-of-the-line people". Which doesn't work.

There, patent away.
It may be hard to pick up any brain waves in a room that has a running TV set in it.
Due to my landline being out of order, I chose to watch TV in the last few days, and I could basically feel my IQ points ticking away.
