I'm sure if you keep telling yourself that you think it will become true. Sorry, that isn't anywhere close to reality.

The first day we formed tribes, so about day 1 of our species. The day you pay back everything you've ever gotten from society (education, protection, medicine, roads, etc) with interest, forget everything you've learned and experienced due to society and move to somewhere where you'll never interact with humanity again. Until then take some fucking responsibility for once in your life and do what's right by humanity you self-entitled asshole. Or drop dead and improve the human species.
Sounds great. We can have the government make them and call them U.S. dollars. And then we can run a sensible monetary policy around them. Or I guess we can use numbers on a computer in a deflationary currency with no controls whatsoever and a setup you need a degree in CS to understand. But I think I'll go with the government route.
We do have a head version. Here's the federal: http://uscode.house.gov/

I'll take the turds. They have value as fertilizer. While Bitcoin is bullshit, physical bullshit at least has a use.
I think just about all of them. If a corporation is fined, an officer should be paying one as well or serving jail time. And be barred from receiving a bonus that year as well (so the company can't just pay back their fine).
I've actually done 2 of the 3 of those on laptops, to replace broken parts. They're fairly modular under the hood. For proof look at the 2 in 1 tablets- basically a snap on keyboard to a tablet. Laptops could easily have been done that way. They just never made them easier to remove because the manufacturers thought they could make more money by not allowing resuse and 3rd party parts. And of course all the internals have always been modular, that's why you can customize them at dell and hp's websites.
Exactly. That's why a modular PCs were never created. There's no way you can get high performance when the user can pick their own RAM, CPU, motherboard, video card, hard drives, etc.
Oh, wait.
A decade? A degree is 4 years.
Yeah, don't really care. The cost of heating/cooling doesn't bother me, being comfortable is more than worth. It'd end up in manual override mode over 90% of the time anyway. But my comment was more towards making it internet connected with a web API than with programming it to turn off for a few hours during work.
Mainly so that the owner can monitor it remotely in case of problems. But even then it probably makes more sense to set it once and have it sms maintenance if something goes out of range.
Its a thermostat. When I'm cold, I'll walk over and turn it up. When I'm warm, I'll walk over and turn it down. I don't need it to be internet enabled, and don't want the annoyance of some bug or exploit fiddling with it. Not everything needs to be set from your smartphone. It may make sense for a large warehouse or office building, but there's 0 point in a home device.
Running unit tests on a third party library? Get real. Either you trust the people who wrote it ran them, or you don't use the library. Do you run the unit tests on every library you download? Have you ever run the unit tests on a library you've downloaded? Hell, unless its all one download they aren't even downloaded, much less run. Welcome to the real world.
Most of the embedded world? The embedded world heavily uses compilers like RVDS. And nobody is going to bother running the unit tests. In addition, its damn hard to write unit tests that test something that should fail in a stack dump.
And if you're writing a library, you don't know what compiler much less what flags the user will use. Are you willing to pay several thousand dollars for seats for obscure compilers?
Yeah, you're an idiot.
