Your "home" isn't owned by you either. Try not paying your property tax and see who owns it.

Or worse getting into a disagreement with a member of your local Home Owners AssociationPetty Fascist League ; your local govt is at least required to obey the rule of law. Unless you have 6 figures for a lawyer or the PFL offends in one of a handful of ways that will cause a national news organization to organize an internet lynch mob against them; you're screwed with no recourse.

Quote: I see a migration from C to C++ at our customer base Spot on.
Almost everywhere I've worked, over the last few years, has made that migration and that migration only.
Sharpen up your C++ skills, and there's no end of work available to you.

It almost shouldn’t come as a surprise. In an age defined by advancements in the tech industry, it was only a matter of time before the traditional paradigms set by the industrial revolution had to change. "I'd like to remind you at four in the morning, my world is very still"

Didn't they heard, that a large number of developers do not wear nothing but pajamas?

So we shouldn't call it "blue-collar work", but instead "soft-collar work"!
That's perfect!

When you browse online for a new pair of shoes, pick a movie to stream on Netflix or apply for a car loan, an algorithm likely has its word to say on the outcome. They put the Illuminati out of work?

I get the feeling that the writer doesn't fully understand what "algorithm" means.
You might as well say that algorithms rule the way you cross the road, because it's just as true*.

There were nothing revolutionary since i3! They added cores, increased speed and more, but I wouldn't say that that was revolutionary! Good but not revolutionary!

A team of researchers in Saudi Arabia have built a prototype of a self-destructing gadget for the real world that can completely destroy a device in as little as ten seconds, and can be programmed to automatically trigger itself under certain conditions.

Don't be silly!
Hollywood says that to destroy a computer, you shoot the monitor, so the same must hold true for smartphones, etc.

But the phone would be destroyed, thus "self-destroying" is true. Doesn't mean it must be useful

Yup. If you've got a dedicated chip holding cryptographic keys (AIUI Apple does this on recent iPride models), you need to kill that chip too to make sure your backups can't be seized and used against you. Just fragging the CPU will only be effective against the same subset of adversaries that current remote bricking tools are able to stop.
