If we include in that, "trying to sell someone something they don't need at a price they can't afford", then probably a large number of businesses would shut down.
If Google heavily de-prioritized search rankings based on loading times, then fast loading, likely ad-free content will show up on the first couple of pages. I doubt that is in Google's best interest.
Why is it insanity? What sort of software development have you done on Windows? I don't find any major issues developing software either on Linux or Windows. Both have tools that do the job for what I need, but some tools have a nicer UI on Windows. Visual studio combined with visual assist is good integrated environment for C++ development. Especially when it comes to editing/debugging/inspection/profiling.
There could be benefits from multiple lens, but they can't capture the scene from identical angles. In low-light situations you can either keep the 'shutter' open for a longer period (carries other risks like camera-shake or the subject moving), or stack multiple pictures taken in a burst (same risks as before). So you can still get-by with a single lens.
From the sensor's POV, so far, the ability to collect more light is directly co-related to sensor size, so the larger the 'photosite' the better the camera can perform in low light situations. This is why Full Frame cameras are always going to be better than APS-C or M43 or smartphone cameras in low-light situations (at home, restaurants, indoor sports, etc). We can now cram more pixels in the same area, so we've progressed quite a bit on resolution, but haven't as much on the fundamentals of capturing photons. Smartphones have almost eliminated point and shoot cameras, and the pro-camera manufacturers could be in trouble considering that they make their money in the volume of sales from point and shoot cameras.
I've been using it since Slackware.9x. It really wasn't THAT difficult to setup. Primarily because you didn't have fancy video cards/wifi/weird chipsets and you (I) didn't care about it working on laptops.
That's bullshit, you are not the arbiter of what the market price is or should be. (Apart from following all the laws of the land like minimum wage, etc) Consumers will shop around and buy their stuff from whoever sells it to them the cheapest. If someone is willing to do the same work for a lower price, its completely their right to determine what they think their own labor is worth.
How is that any different than someone going in for an interview, and demanding $10 million as the salary. The company refuses. Are they now allowed to claim that they can't find anyone? Or if we apply your bizarre logic, only if they were unable find a warm human body that they can claim a labor shortage? That is not a definition of labor shortage that any practical person applies to anything, or is even useful in any way.
That's like saying most people can afford to buy whatever they want by simply spending all the money they have. That's now how it works. When you say you can't afford something doesn't necessarily mean you don't have the money for it. Similarly, it makes no sense to offer more than what the employee is worth to them as a business.
Microsoft will be tested on how hard they're willing to defend the Win32 platform if ReactOS ever gets to be 'good enough'. Seems like at the moment they want to avoid the community backlash, while nudging people towards UWP.
The EU says that companies should not be allowed to create such "tremendous amount of consumer value" at the expense of shitting on their citizens in other ways (privacy, surveillance, bundling, exploiting labor, etc).
How do you plan to save emailed documents to local storage, download files from the internet, then read-write to those files using local programs, etc?
You seem to be arguing against a strawman. Making an MRI machine work is __NOT__ something ninety percent of programmers are working on.
The vast majority of programmers are simply writing CRUD, LOB internal apps or doing IT stuff for business. The kind of stuff that is NOT part the core business and is simply a cost-center for an accountant.
Maybe, but the apart from the language, there's the libraries. You have to know where the bugs are in the language, and libraries. Which parts of the language+library are slow/buggy/brittle vs more robust parts. That is not something you can figure out in a few months. But OTOH, it seems like amateur programmers putting out crap all these years has lowered the bar for software so much, that bugs are simply accepted.
But to your first point, I think it carries over to other domains. If I have a honda, I'm not going to go to a toyota mechanic (assuming they can get all the parts, yada yada). Its just how people who are outside of that domain approach it practically.
In a capitalist system, you can't really make laws telling companies to not reduce their wage bill as much as they (legally) can. If they can't bring people here, they're going to send the job there. Just like America will never be a manufacturing economy again, it looks like it is not going to remain a 'basic software' economy either.
The world is changing and if the US wants other countries to open up their markets, the US will have to open up their own labor market. The US used to be able to bully others into asymmetrical trade agreements, but that is going to get tougher and tougher as more and more countries lift themselves out of poverty.
I remember when Japanese and Korean cars were called "junk" and now they make the best cars. It's not going to take long for the Indians to get good.
Well most companies consider universities as institutions of training rather than learning. That mindset is unlikely to go away under a capitalist system.
Good point, also a lot of the internet based payloads are much easier to block at the router level without installing resource sucking AV products. We use a security appliance that does a decent job of blocking parked domains/botnet C&Cs/spam urls/etc.
Well there is an inherent guarantee about being on a payroll vs being possibly equally compensated if you happen to be the bloke that spoke with SuperKendall.
So, if you're not one of the drivers that hangs out with SuperKendall, you might be making close to minimum wage.
One important thing to mention here is that those security features also defend you against bugs in third party code. You can independently verify that those security features work.

If the interview process of a company can't discern a skilled candidate from one whose faking it, then they're going to go out of business soon.

Stop being intellectually dishonest.

Yeah, that's probably never going to happen..

Ah, so you have multiple copies of the file. Sounds confusing for the average user IMO.
How do you plan to save emailed documents to local storage, download files from the internet, then read-write to those files using local programs, etc?
As long as you don't login as root and manually install random drivers, you'll be fine. On all operating systems..
So, according to you, what benefits should we be seeing, now that the headphone jack is removed??

You probably could use an android device to build an IoT product.
C++ programmers will be rare, but so will the jobs.
Like Cobol programmers that maintain very old systems, because attempts to replace these systems with Java based solutions are failing ...
Such as?
