<sarcasticly>But what about all those wealthy people, having low income houses will lower their property values and they will be less rich!</sarcasticly>

Part of the problem that we have is the physical separation of the Rich and Poor.
Poor people can learn a lot from rich people. As well rich people can learn some sympathy with the poor people and realize how much of their success was actually given to them, or by blind luck.

If not then its plights would be ignored by the rest of the world. Much like the 49 other states.

New York (Well its city will get attention too)

I am a MAN! creating holes is a job for a mouse.

This is a EU country, where smoking still seems like the thing that cool people do, not a redneck thing. Do you really want to waste a lighter socket.

But those cars also have Digital radio too.

During an emergency. These stations are also running on bare bone staff. Many of them may not have a web developer on hand to update the site every 5 minutes... While there is an announcer and reporters are there as key staff.

WRONG!

1. Global Warming has increased the amount of hazardous weather. Such weather can affect infrastructure such as Power, telephone, and cell service.
2. Data plans are expensive. So they are used sparingly. You are not going to waste it streaming audio, digital data also takes more power off your phone.
3. Your local radio stations (notice that we have that in plural, even in remote areas they are multiple stations available) being that they are local they have information about your local community. Google will not cover the fact that the river overflowed on Route 7 and it is closed. As well they can give you real time data.
4. Radio is usually in your car. A lot of people do not have normal radios.... Everyone has a phone, the fact that they can support FM, and using the FM chip uses a lot less power. Makes it valuable.

Sure the real intent is so Radio Stations don't loose to the global streaming market... But the fact is we need local services as well. We don't have emergencies every day. But the phones have the feature and I am sick of the greedy Cell companies blocking features just so they can milk more money from me.

Science news from the media is usually really bad.
This is the new hypothesis that got some funding for additional research.
Let me know in 10 years on how it pans out.

They carriers need to offer reasonable rates for data.
I would be happy to drop my cable internet for a wireless option, but it isn't economical.

The grid is fine in higher density populated area. As you go more rural it makes spence to have off grid options.
Power outages can last for days where you are waiting for help, but all the people are working to get the denser arias first.

Yes it will.
OK you want to encrypt a file. You find instructions and you follow each step correctly you got a encrypted system.
Now following steps is stuff a computer can do. You need humans to do things a little more creative. So it makes sense that you have a simpler process for this. That does all the non-simple things in a few commands.

From my own observations there is no shortage of american tech workers. However there seems a shortage of people who can write appropriate job requirements for the jobs that they are trying to fill.

Job for tech workers make a lot of huge mistakes.
1. Trying to replace the person not the position. So the guy left for bigger and better things... If you make your requirements to match the guy who left, you will not find any people... Because those who do have the requirements are looking for bigger and better things too.

2. Thinking your vendors names are bigger then the are. So you got "UltramegaSaaSEngine v.5.32 Cloud edition". It may be a great tool for your organization. But if you are trying to find people who will put it on their resume, you are out of luck. There will be some training involved, you can't expect to find someone with that experience.

3. Make sure you have the correct titles: You want a software architect, you are willing to pay an architect salary. You post position Software Developer. You get a bunch of resumes from under qualified people, because the title sounds like a good fit. People looking for Architect jobs will just glance over it, and go to the next page. Going the opposite direction too Making the job sound too high end, means you will get a lot of people who will be requesting a lot more money for the position you really need to fill.

4. Be reasonable on years of experience. 3 years experience with Windows Server 2012? That is a tough to fill position, as you expect most people not to upgrade all their servers to the new windows version overnight. Or finding someone with a decade experience in some language that just got popular a few years ago.

5. Do not be education snobs. I have seen jobs requiring a PHD for Bachelors level computer science work. Or the fact that professionally years of experience may counteract advanced degrees. Also the PHD will not take these jobs as it is beneath them. Tech in general has a lot "Street Smarts" skill, so that high school dropout may out perform that guy who just got his masters.

6. Post the position you want to fill. When you find someone who seems to fit the bill, call them and get the process going. I have had cases where I post my resume in, then a year or so later I get a call wanting to talk, by then I may have gotten my Promotion or started a new job and want to plant myself for a while.

Vs. a bunch of people afraid to apply the patch of openSSL in fear that it would break all the applications in one swoop
of having up Update Open SSL on ever virtual system that is running a different application?

Compared to a few decades ago. Package update systems have gotten much better.
So the package system will know that Application A, B, C, D use OpenSSL and there is an open SSLPatch and Application A, B, C, had verififed that it worked, so A,B,C will get the push to fix those parts.

I stated no Shared Libaries, or DLL... I didn't say we can't use libraries. They are just not shared across the entire OS.

How is having your config file in a config subdirectory off your application so horrible.

The registry is a bad design. Prone to single point of failure.

So you want to configure your apache settings go to /usr/apache/etc
To run the program go to /usr/apache/bin

You can use proper conventions to prevent a lot of issue that we had in DOS days where the settings were mixed in different areas.

You are confusing software deployment with coding.
You can use separate libraries. However they are deployed and connected to your particular instance to your application.
