I used a certain bank once. Their app went offline almost every other night. I wish the FDIC regulated IT infrastructure too.

The megacorps' refusal to negotiate or compromise is what caused the problem. They are the villains, not the working people being understaffed, underpaid, and hated on by selfish third parties who don't understand solidarity.

Teachers are also paid crap because they continue to work for starvation wages. They should strike more because they will not receive more compensation with gentle pleas that are convenient.

The point of strikes isn't to be unobtrusive or convenient. You're just saying people should work for nothing and not take the fat cats to task for underpaying them. Maybe if you stood for solidarity with the workers, you would have some credibility.

The HP 48GX got me through from high school college prep to EE/CS. I also happen to own an HP 48 overhead projector display and a thermal printer. Now, I just need an overhead projector to even use (the former). Sharing software was the killer app of the HP 48 G series, and the app that turned the serial IR port into a universal learning remote was a pranksters' dream because the IR LED was so overpowered.

I think it should be a tribute to Claude-Nicolas Fiechter, Mika Heiskanen, and Bernard Parisse who came up with Erable. There is Giac/Xcas now that it is its spiritual successor.

Socialism for the rich when it affects them; deregulation, austerity, and price hikes for everyone else. Fun fact: The rich in America receive 2x as much help as social programs do, and that doesn't even count the pork MIC projects that is the defense budget. John Oliver even had a recent episode of how difficult it is to get Social Security. It took me 9 years and a lawyer. You're better off selling your organs than expecting any sort of help in America that doesn't treat you like a criminal at every opportunity.

Every well-funded nationstate has an "equations group", but it is rare to detect, much less publicize, their actions by design.

External buses and RF comms present massive attack surfaces that must be locked down with religious fervor including auditing, disabling, and management.

When private edifices rival public institutions, it should give people pause that there is policy failure or decline teetering on collapse.

The corporate neocons and neoliberals are vampirically sacrificing and selling off essential commonwealth public infrastructure and cultural institutions for profit to the detriment of long term investment. The net result is decline and regression.

Unscientific and anecdotal survivor bias.

Put yourself in their shoes before leaping to hand waiving how it would be "better for everyone else." 100% automation of cranes means lost jobs.

They still don't have cryptographic signatures widely signing gems despite deploying optional infrastructure to do it. What a waste and sad.

Yep. His efforts were completely counterproductive and worthless. Right analysis but entirely wrong and stupid prescription. I read several of his books out of tackling of infamous works like Mein Kampf and Das Kapital. I couldn't bring myself to read Henry Ford's books, however.

Which specific protestors? You're painting with a huge brush.
