What is coding? It is writing down specifications. Imagine a simple computer with just a 1920x1080 pixel screen, a 104 key keyboard and 3 button mouse. That is 2^107 inputs and 2^(1920x1080) outputs. The scale of specification of this (now over time) is already not handle able.

So, we invent concepts like taskbars, windows, shortcuts, and so each spec is different. People think they are writing down code, when they are actually just making a lot of decisions.

Always have been. It's like people have forgotten Halloween Documents.

> In discussing ways of competing with open source, Document I suggests that one reason that open source projects had been able to enter the server market is the market's use of standardized protocols. The document then suggests that this can be stopped by "extending these protocols and developing new protocols" and "de-commoditiz[ing] protocols & applications". This policy has been internally nicknamed "embrace, extend, extinguish". Document I also suggests that open source software "is long-term credible ... FUD tactics can not be used to combat it", and "Recent case studies (the Internet) provide very dramatic evidence ... that commercial quality can be achieved / exceeded by OSS projects."

you said a lot of things with a lot of assumptions in that sentence

> You have the right to a degree in XYZ... you should NOT have the right to a taxpayer backed grant/aid/loan/whatever to gain said degree

If it becomes unreasonable/unfeasible to have a degree without a taxpayer backed grant/aid/loan, then right to a degree implies right to that aid.

> unless you're on a reasonable path to become a tax payer yourself as soon as you are done with the degree.

You are assuming that the only way a person pays back that money is by tax payer account. They could also be paying back that money by being a nurse improving people's healthy making population more productive.

At the end of the day, you are looking at this all wrong by being very ideological about it. You need to look at it from what's best for the country in long term.
