Danger ahead! Pivots quite strongly from somewhat reasonable market discussion to advocating communism/socialism. Reminds me of college...
One of these things is not like the other. You lack much perspective.
My money is still on cell phones radiation from the front pocket.
I was almost certain that this article was about my WIFI enabled Sous Vide cooker being hacked.
Stay away from my cooking times and trade secrets China! These ribs are fall off the bone tender!
This study is from 1999, before the internet as we know it, and long before children walked around with smartphones in their pockets. Its also very clear from you answer that you are a young person. I wonder if your answer will change when you are 75?
I think he was commenting on the generational trend. There is naturally going to be a shift when two billion new users enter a media landscape that was previously only occupied by a few professional firms. In addition, I think it would be hard for an intellectually honest person to deny that in the current age of click bait news that agencies of all stripes are running articles with less corroborating evidence than they would have in the past so as to be the first ones to the scoop. Unfortunately, Russian facebook trolls have set the new burden of proof for online kangaroo courts, and it is not much.
Just keep senior people there as code reviewers and 'account managers' who would sit down with stakeholders from DC. Then open source some of the other projects or at least add approved citizens that could work remotely on low-security projects. (Like some of the commenters above).
There is nothing wrong with some sticks working together to get better deals on medical supplies or defend from other sticks in time of need.
The issue is that you are forcing the stick to give up its national identity, borders, fishing rights, and laws in order to be part of the bundle.
I agree, I'm afraid we'd end up with the government spending equivalent of a poorly planned college potluck. Everyone brings chips and paper plates and there is no actual food.
The whole point of his question was that you take those advantages away from those men and see what they would do. The key is their creativity and ability to find ways to make money.
Bill Gates was actually famously asked a version of this question. (What would you do if you were poor with no education and lived in a third world country.) He responded "Buy Chickens".
Transparent has a unique meaning in the context of computing And a different one in design, business and physics.
Importantly however; Tech people can claim they are being 'transparent'. To them this can mean no visible difference to the user- and to everyone else means visible/public and available for scrutiny.
So yes, I am sure Zuckerberg is focused on 'transparency'.

This is by far the best solution.
Plus by charging a small border crossing fee, Mexico could pay for the wall within a few years.
No massive environmental damage, no massive cost, and we could even help slow down the flow of guns back into Mexico.
Plus with a reliable and profitable entry program we could set up a WAY more reliable temporary work visas that would allow people to live and work freely without breaking US laws, stealing identities, or placing anyone at risk on either side!
Plus, police, tax officials and family services will get to know who everyone is and where they are working!
Everybody is a winner! No immigrant communities in fear. Prosperity for all. And did I mention Mexico pays for the wall?
