What to do to keep my cat more than half-alive ?
«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

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.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

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.

The Canadian government wants every citizen to have access to download speeds of at least 50 Mbps Maslow's updated hierarchy: Air, water, shelter, Facebook, personal security, friendship, and Netflix

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

God, I remember my first 56K modem -- I was so Happy!

"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."

The usual answer is: "what you're trying to do is wrong", even when it's not. In 5 years of professional programming I rarely needed SO, just a couple of tricks with the linker and solved problems - but I couldn't post questions due to company Internet limitations so I could only search through Bing or MSDN (company restrictions).
