Functional Programming Is A Scam

Your logic is correct, but this would require real-long term regulatory change. Remember it's still the NSA. People are slowing changing sentiment to policy more accepting of personal choices toward those that don't infringe upon to others. The NSA in scope is still an ideologically healthy organization. Until a fundamental shift in scope we should champion their organization. Over time you are correct but I posit that is a socially healthy operation where you feel the counter. Do we not as society want to do away with those who wish us harm? That is really all they are doing here. That's the balance. You're right the people will have a direct say who and who does not belong. That is a good thing and the purpose of why we were formed nation. For this exact power. Protection.

People don't care what you do so long as it doesn't harm them. Sentiment is changing towards that. It's reflected in the data. Expenditure will just be greater with any the counter.

I suppose quantum computing presents one of the few exceptions? And on the other end, distributed systems? Where else is new ground being explored? Cross functional work?

Growth isn't just exclusive to startups. It's a health indicator for a majority of businesses. Just the same, a tech company does not equate to a startup. There is a priced in expectation for growth in nearly all capital seeking companies. Yes, there are sectors and utilities where full saturation prevents growth, however population as a constraint is hardly common.

Oops. Perhaps I should dug deeper before posting. Either way, a nice thought; I couldn't imagine better execution and direction from Musk. His narrative of ambition in regards to progressive philanthropic efforts would be unparalleled in film.

The groundwork has already been set with a couple of his most recent interviews. The vision is there.

I did receive that from the upper portion of your response. I was just eloboarting further for the OP as your first did insulate that de facto equals to correctness. Yes precisely but one with such a question has already deomstated anayalsis to a level of a threshold where such alternatives would not hwve been considered if not for the existence of prior sufficient evidence for valid uncertainty of accepted standard.

I think the genius will instead lie in her plan for internal consolidation for the two platforms to converge in harmony as complementary.

Taken together the two most recent poaches (i.q. provided Hulu) have much crossover especially while accounting for further past acquisitions. Amalgamating successfully will position them as key content provider in the market.

Why do you think that is? Hosts push cloud as it furthers their bottom line.

Cloud is popular because it is cheap. For consumers and providers. If you know exactly the resources you'll need and have infrastructure in place to scale then sure, VPS/cloud hosting might be good if you're looking to cut costs.

In the end though, you'll always be sharing and limited. If you're approve dynamic allocation then you'll just be paying for it at a premium.

You like to point fingers, eh? Is my name pg? I have no idea why.

I will take a gander however and assume someone didn't like what was presumably a rhetorical and pretentious response.

I do though agree. As to your first response, a quick right click will show that the site is made with Wordpress. The lack of formatting for the stack grids suggests it MAY be a plugin from which this is being retrieved; nevertheless with the choice of Wordpress, I am doubtful.

A backdoor in their encryption protocol. They claim it is secure.

"The Skype Security Policy is: ... 4. Messages transmitted through a Skype session are encrypted from Skype-end to Skype-end. No intermediary node, if any exist, has access to the meaning of these messages. [1]"

Their hybrid peer-to-peer/client–server implementation allows for eavesdropping. This is now confirmed to be in practice.
