So we spend years begging for a bone. We finally get it only to have it prized from our jaws moments after tasting its meaty goodness. Outraged? Oh hell yes we're outraged.
I'm conflicted between whether to think you're just trolling, or that you really believe that. Just in case... Let me dispel your idea with a single piece of very simple logic. Poor people have no money, ergo there's no reason a business would take an interest in them.
An ignorant, distracted populace is a malleable populace. Think it not strange that the wealthiest nation on the planet has such an ineffectual educational system?
No they're not. Don't kid yourself. I see two scenarios, either you can buy their history, which will all amount to a long list of "vpn.net - xxxx/xx/xx". Or, and most probably, it will play out like private phone numbers on land lines, or DNS registrations where you can pay $$$ to not be listed.
A circle is an infinitely sided "n-agon". The only way to make an "n-agon" work would be to increase the radius to the point the curve (smooth or pixelated) no longer has a strong influence. I suspect the better way to accomplish the task, if land area for throughput is the goal would be to utilize a wagon wheel design where the spokes are the runways. Planes touch down from the rim and launch from the hub.
All the old reasons for going to the theatre are obsolete. While there might be some voyeurs that'll let things slide, all the IR cameras pretty much mean they'll just kick you out straightaway now. What possible reason could people have to "like" the theatre?
If he's referring to the fact that it's generally tepid, stale, costs $10/tub and you have to pay for salt then I guess I prefer the pre-innovated stuff; warm, generally fresh, $5/tub popcorn and a complementary salt shaker on the counter.
So are you proposing mass gentrification and everyone that doesn't fit goes {x}. Or, just following through on the popular idea of stripping the middle-class of their station in favor of indentured servitude?
I find that idea quite interesting. Not sure how the legals work out but, quite interesting. The closest I can find is one of these. Perhaps one can be modified.
You clearly lack an understanding of adolescents, and those that behave as such. Particularly with the "anonymous" option, this sort of device has a strong novelty factor that coupled with poor impulse control makes for a lot of unpleasant outcomes. This is easily evidenced by all the rich kid videos on YouTube where they get their kicks blowing out expensive things with USB ports. Scatter these things around public places and all sorts of mayhem will ensue when naive fools jab them into their systems to "see what's on them."
When did the lack of revenue from tracking and selling customer data become an expense? I know it's been a few years since my accounting courses but I'm pretty sure that doesn't adhere to GAAP.
There is an overwhelming consistency of belief among their constituency that things don't apply to them. Along with this is a strong apathy towards the "common good." GOP lawmakers make use of that.
I find the intentions of the ADA to generally be a good thing. I really doubt keeping free educational material out of the hands of the public was the intention of the authorship. However, as with anything done by the Congress critters I doubt all the angles were considered and exceptions for freebies being one of them. For what ever reason it seems the Gallaudet people had a chip on their shoulder and as a consequence ruined it for everyone.
It would seem this is another layer of abstraction that will make programming easier.
It might, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Code snippets are very much like design-patterns. The notion of design-patterns were supposed to be step along that path wherein they would eventually evolve into idiomatic instructions for tools capable of self-configuring boilerplate components. Yet while they've proved useful as communication idioms between humans, that about all the mileage anyone's been able to get out of them. The necessary ability to think abstractly remains solidly in the hands of humans.
Until engineer/developer level abstract thought is in the hands of AI I wouldn't worry. The best current and foreseeable future AI can do is scrape the detritus off the bottom of the talent pool; the ones essentially stitching code snippets together themselves to service simple requirements, e.g. web sites and CRUDs. This admittedly encompasses a significant amount of business needs, but is by no means the majority.
You mean pointing out statistics related behavior/beliefs that give witness to their being endemic within certain demographics? In other contexts we'd call that first steps to troubleshooting.

If the GA experience is $50 for an extra couple bucks VIP lounge best be a euphemism for in-call service.
So they've managed to catch up with my living room then poison it with 4) and 5) I don't think would work anyway...

There might be homesteaders, but the state has a median income of $65,028, that put's it at the top of the pack.

It's also an affluent mono-culture. Not exactly a good model from which to draw conclusions about more social-economically diverse populations.

Dear Gallaudet University,
Haha.
It is FUD. Do people think Nintendo built all these devices the day before shipping?
So... yes?

They rejected your application did they?

I suppose if rich people could be given a choice they'd prefer something less tainted by that disease.
