If you offer the money and nobody claims it then you haven't lost. If nothing else, you can use it as P.R.
Now that I've had some time to think about it more, what would worry me is that if the prize were lucrative enough, people might delay reporting flaws they've found in order to claim the yearly prize. So it would really need to be an "all the time" thing and not necessarily a yearly thing.
Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Apple, and maybe some of the larger linux contributors/users (IBM, Oracle, Amazon) should form a sort of "consortium" and chip in $1M/year each to fund a much more lucrative version of pwn2own. That's chump change to them. With ~$8M in prizes yearly, I dare say we'd eliminate a lot of security flaws.
Companies now incentivized to open foreign development offices. Right? If you hire foreign nationals in their country of origin they're not an H1B employee. So instead of importing foreign workers to the U.S. (who pay rent, taxes and buy things from American companies), American employers will just employ more people abroad.
Automating things is itself work, and when a process or job changes it must be re-automated. If the automation wasn't done in a manner that's easily updated to accommodate minor changes, then the effort to "re-automate" something may approach the level of effort it took to automate it in the first place. So while lots of work may be automatable, the effort require to keep all that work automated on an ongoing basis incurs some amount of overhead.

employees are forced to take cuts in salary and benefits while CEOs continue to get obscenely huge salaries, benefits, and separation packages
Sounds fair to me. Quality CEO adds much more to the company's bottom line than Culver does, even if he's an amazing IT guy. Also harder to outsource a CEO, so they can demand more.
It's more like "I lost my job and kept looking for months but couldn't find another that would pay anywhere remotely close to what I used to make".
Did you consider (and/or did she suggest) taking one that paid (potentially significantly) less than your previous one? Or relocating to a more amenable labor market? May not have made a difference; but, then again, it might have.
I'm assuming most women would be like her even in that situation.
Maybe a non-insignificant portion of women are that shallow, but I wouldn't view it as the norm.
I'd add three things here, which may not actually contradict anything you believe: 1. Almost all governments carry debt; the ones that are close to having no debt are among the least prosperous, and 2. If you're someone who disproportionately benefits from the debt-financed spending then for you to support higher inflation (in order to allow more debt-financed spending) may be entirely rational, and 3. it's hard to know who benefits most from debt-financed spending because it's hard to separate expenditures into "debt-financed" and "non-debt-financed".
One place to look to identify what an "acceptable" level of per debt GDP might be is the level below which the U.S. can maintain the highest possible sovereign debt rating from the various agencies. Countries currently rated AAA by Moody's, using the most recent free data I could find, along with their current per GDP central government debt (2013 data):
United States: 106.5%
Germany: 79.8%
Australia: 35.9%
Canada: 93.6%
Switzerland: 45.3%
Denmark: 59.3%
Luxembourg: 33.5%
Netherlands: 87.7%
Norway: 39.6%
New Zealand: 38.1%
Sweden: 48.3%
Singapore: 104.7% (had to get this from a different source)
It's clear that among AAA-rated sovereigns the U.S. is near the top debt-wise. To draw more in line with the other members of that group it would need to get its per GDP debt down to around 80% at most.
It also pays to look at countries that are highly developed but not AAA rated. This helps the debt level necessary to guarantee an AAA rating. The previous exercise helped to identify the level needed in order to preclude an AAA rating. Here are some highly developed non-AAA rated countries and their debt levels:
United Kingdom: 103.1%
France: 116.1%
Japan: 232.5%
Austria: 89.5%
Belgium: 105.4%
Finland: 70.1%
Iceland: 91.3%
South Korea: 39.0%
Given S. Korea, it looks like there's essentially no debt level that guarantees a AAA rating. However, if the U.S. were to get down below 70% (i.e. Finland) then it would be pretty close to guaranteed.
It's worth noting that, based on what he's promised so far, Trump looks to be no friend to debt/deficit hawks.
This is a mischaracterization of what "introverted" means. In the general sense it does not mean "happier alone". That might describe "extreme social introversion". Most introverts have a small circle of friends. Most introverts enjoy spending time with some subset of their small circle of friends in private, and on occasion. A regular D&D game, for instance. Most introverts eventually marry. It's not the case that most introverts desire no human contact and are quite happy to die alone and friendless.
Refusal and/or inability to trust will ensure you remain lonely even when you're in a relationship. It's also somewhat of a fallacy to assume every woman, or even the majority of women, are like your ex-wife. This assumes your description of why she left you is accurate. If the truth is closer to "I lost my job then sat on my ass for six months and played video games" then it may be entirely reasonable to suspect most women are like your ex-wife.
You seem to have read into what I wrote that I believe Apple supporting OS X on non-Apple hardware to be something that might actually happen. I don't believe that. My point stands, though: I wouldn't care as much about what Apple does with their laptop hardware if I could run OS X on something other than an Apple laptop. (*)

What jobs actually pay minimum wage in Silicon Valley? Honest question. The only ones I can think of that maybe pay minimum wage in Austin are things like overnight cleaning staff. And I suspect even those guys make more than minimum wage. Walmart greeter, Starbucks person, guy who works the register at The Gap...they all make more than minimum wage.
Where are you living that you had to apply for legit minimum wage jobs? There's a restaurant about to open along the path of my commute to work. They're hiring bus boys at $12/hour. The baggers at the grocery store make $10/hr. And I live in a city & state with local minimum wage.
Seems like the remedy to this would be to leave your current job as soon as you recognize that virtualization is starting to get popular and take a job somewhere using that technology before it gets popular enough for there to be a wealth of candidates with relevant experience. Basically, "jump on the new hot thing". Alternately, get some sort of certification that says "I know virtualization". Surely something like that exists; IT industry is gaga for certifications.
I took the hypocrisy a different direction. Namely, if you support the autonomy of business owners to hire/fire/serve whomever they choose, as many on the right do, then you should not be sympathetic to the plaintiffs in this suit.
It was the proximate cause of him going to this specific pizza place. Yes, the guy's probably unhinged. No, if this fake news story had never run, he probably wouldn't have gone to this specific pizza place to investigate.

I work for a company that makes apps. We rushed to release an Apple Watch extension as quickly as possible after the Watch's release, for the sole reason that we wanted to be able to issue press releases about how we support Apple Watch and are super-innovative while our competitors are not. Nobody thought it would drive sales from a feature perspective, except insofar as it could create the perception that we're "cutting edge" and "innovative". Never mind the fact that our Watch implementation was extremely crappy; we got mentioned in a NYT article for being "first".

If you're happy or neutral about being alone then you're not "lonely", and the research mentioned in the article may not apply to you.
Refusal and/or inability to trust will ensure you remain lonely even when you're in a relationship. It's also somewhat of a fallacy to assume every woman, or even the majority of women, are like your ex-wife. This assumes your description of why she left you is accurate.

I would be a lot less annoyed by the lack of Mac attention at Apple if OS X would run on non-Apple hardware.
