Because CPUs and hardware manufacturers work closely with MS to support it as soon as the devices hit the market. Try to solve the typical corporation software need with Chromebooks.....

CS is just another tool to solve certain problems...maybe the approach to teach tech should be totally different...from the student POV, the problems come from paper and books.......I would love to see a 'Walter Levin' approach to CS! That would be nice!

Yes, people are dumb...but they are the same people driving 1 ton devices at 150 km/h and, most of them survive...so not SO dumb. I think the goal of the Right to Repair has something more important as foundation than the repair job and risk by it. Environmental and economics are hand by hand, and instead of discarding / recycling a product, if you have good understanding of what's going on, maybe some $ for a part and labor will put the device on service again. One friend was throwing away his out of warranty 40" Samsung TV because lack of backlight. One official service quoted the repair at $350. It took me $7 and 1 hr to fix it. That was 4 yr ago. And it still works as new. Not every consumer can afford to throw money in the garbage when a device fails.

The urban design of "financial district" and "suburbia", along with the speculation of the land value displace the population to "cheaper" housing and the centralized malls forces people to buy cars and use them for everything. No milk? grab the car, go to the supermarket. A smarter european design of distributed towns, mixed residential and commercial areas and more affordabe housing brings people closer to their jobs, encourages the use of bikes and creates a much healthier environment. It seems like in the US the layout of cities was done by oil companies, and basically they sit and wait all the "american dreamers" buying their cars and start spending a good chunk of their income in...gas!

Every act done by politicians should be public, otherwise people will start thinking they are trying to hide things....

It's not phone anymore...the 'phone' existed until the devices started playing mp3, taking pictures, streaming movies and running games...the phone is dead.

We still have people who insist there is a man in the sky...what could we do with them?

you control the country..... Bankers don't like the idea of a gov't managed currency... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Noise and sensor size are the main parameters for a sensor..then high quality glass for the lens. MP is more a marketing war between brands.....we need smarter people, not smarter phones and cars.....what's next? smart fridges?

Put math/science/physics problems with timers in any shooter game to get more weapons, which increases difficulty with each level and you will have a land of geniuses. Start with simple operations, finish with quantum mechanics.

The only way to offer some confidence to students is simply the enforcement of practice at companies or startups incubation, guided by the educational institution. Government and companies should develop a program where everybody wins.

Never Let Schooling Interfere With Your Education

The problem is the new generations don't care, because they think "There should be an app for that...."

Well....if you want to sell DVDs at $20, probably nobody will buy them. If there is no demand, lower the price. The main cost of DVDs are marketing and transportation, so sell volume.... make a limited offer of 10 new DVD titles for $20 with free shipping and let's see how the market will react. Offer cheap digital copies and kill piracy without lawyers in the middle (the main cost)

Why simply the govt doesn't enforce the capture of CO2 to the companies which profit from selling CO2 emitting products?...maybe the govt IS formed by those companies.....silly me.....
