Which means that both are not complete educations. Color me surprised there.
Now go take a look at the prices of those incomplete educations

Quote: The World’s Largest Hedge Fund Is Building an Algorithmic Model From its Employees’ Brains
"Bridgewater wants day-to-day management—hiring, firing, decision-making—to be guided by software that doles out instructions"
...
"At Bridgewater, most meetings are recorded, employees are expected to criticize one another continually, people are subject to frequent probes of their weaknesses, and personal performance is assessed on a host of data points, all under Mr. Dalio’s gaze.
Bridgewater’s new technology would enshrine his unorthodox management approach in a software system. It could dole out GPS-style directions for how staff members should spend every aspect of their days, down to whether an employee should make a particular phone call."

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

"Managers fail about half the time when they make business decisions involving their organization, a new study suggests" (source[^]).
How much intelligence would be required? Enough to toss a coin perhaps?

Quantum computers of today, are like ENIAC editions of modern day computers. It is just a big word, just like Java... Oh, sorry no, Java just happens to have a big bill.

This week, scientists and economic advisers to President Obama released a report on artificial intelligence, including the effects of automation on the US job market and economy. First they came for the search functionality on our computers, and I did nothing...

Yes, technology tends to alter labour requirements rather than remove them but that tends to come with pretty disruptive consequences.
The problem we need to address is our adaptability to an increasing pace of change. We're living in an era that will almost certainly have an even more profound effect on our lives and our landscapes than the industrial revolution and no-one's really addressing the issue.
We continue to model our education system and our general expectations on a 20th century basis, working on the notion that people will do one thing for their entire working life. This really isn't going to apply to many kids growing up now.
Instead of teaching kids increasingly fleeting specialisations (don't get me started on teaching primary school children to "code"), this should serve as a call to make education much less specific and focus on more rounded and generalised skill-sets.
Slogans aren't solutions.

What? I thought "high-speed internet" was anything faster than a 56K MODEM.

"The CRTC estimates that some two million Canadian households, or 18 percent of the population, do not currently have access to their desired speeds."
How many of those care?
And how many of those who care are idiots who want to "escape", move to the middle of nowhere and then whine that they don't have the comforts of modern life? (They need to go pet some bears.)

Maybe, all the easy questions have been answered already. Maybe moderation (which always takes time) is resolving or deleting old unanswered questions or maybe, askers are even coming back to answer their own questions. "May you find the answer that you seek. It is here, I promise you. And now, auf Wiedersehen."
