I find it ironic that many are refuting the article based on semantics, or trying to explain what it "really means" to be an expert in tech. The topic of regulating tech is as much about financial management as about algorithms. One needs to understand the costs and revenue streams in detail to devise intelligent regulation. I tend to believe swaths of the tech industry are built on obfuscation of finances and that is where we are losing the expertise in a regulatory context. Look back on past tech booms and note that engineering work was highly financial in nature (rooted in cost benefit analysis). In the software industry it seems like engineering has hardly anything to do with managing costs. Just ship it, they say, and let the "business people" handle the pesky money part.
