"He suggests a massive company like Google or Facebook will eventually have to take up the task of making Tor scale up to millions of users."
What the hell? Then he doesn't know how Tor works. If a large entity controls a ton of the entry and exit nodes, they can traffic match and identify users. The LAST thing we need is a giant entity ruining it by adding millions of servers.

They're doing this so they can rig it. Human brains are amazing at adaptating, object indentification, and fast logical reasoning. Computers are horrible at that. Some humans are pretty awful drivers. So the computer would have to be better than a below average intelligence human. They're not even close. In a simulation, you just program the logic to react to only the logic that you programmed into the simulation. In other words, cheat.

Oh, they just found out it's more expensive? Good for them, except they should have figured out that waiting 4 weeks for your product to be replaced if you sell it all when it would be 3 days in the US loses you tons of money regardless of worker wages. You just cannot have your business rely on another business thousands of miles away. Don't even get me started on the level of fraud and quality issues. Chinese manufacturing costs A TON once you look past the surface. Everything should still be made in the US!

I'm one of the most naturally talented programmers I've ever met. My code is extremely good. I won many competitions. I scored near perfectly on knowledge and practical exams with an IT staffing company and beat almost all their other employes. AND YET nobody will hire someone with two 2 year degrees. That would have been nice to know. I got a job as CIO of a medium sized company at 24 years old so it worked out but I would have had more options ignoring programming and just getting more server management, networking, and support training.
