While this is douchbaggery, it's also pointless. Simply collecting data is largely a waste of time since it becomes noise. I also find it interesting and telling that despite their data collection efforts, Facebook, Google and Amazon still completely suck at targeted ads. Amazon, especially, simply shows me more of what I just bought. What's the point of that?

I should read it again, yes. (I've read it multiple times; love Heinlein.)

even the anonymous data can be re-work by some AI or database driven to get the most probabily persons. This often only OME
This is a major breach. On trust!!!

So access to wikipedia and google is cr@p in Uganda?
I might as well live there, then, because they're already cr@pola non grata on my machines.

Could you not get to the link? Hmm...I just tested it and it worked.

OK, worked that time! Probably something on my end.

The problem with importing human-like intelligence into robots has always been a difficult task without knowing the computational principles for how the human brain makes decisions –in other words, how to translate brain activity into computer code for the robots' "brains."

I wish that people entering this field would at least try to get a f***ing clue what they're working with, before opening their big, fat mouths.

...and in other shock news, the brain makes decisions using a version of COBOL optimised for neuron input and output.

This article provides a summary of how we currently see the “cloud computing and DevOps” space, which focuses on fundamental architectural patterns, realisation of patterns in technology frameworks, and the design processes and skills that a software engineering must cultivate. 200% if your recommended daily dose of buzzwords
And "Chaos Engineering" wins my award for best tech name (and I'm surprised no one has used it before)

My new method is going to be called OpDevs.
Just take all the dumb@rse ideas that come along, and implement them in reverse.
Hell, it can't hurt more than the dumb@rse ideas themselves!

Expecting sysadmins to be able to write complex applications will probably at least fail fast. As a dev it's easy enough to install/run a server until something breaks horribly; making that flavor of koolaid appear to work for a while.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I get"MIT said: MIT Technology Review is currently unavailable. We are working on it and we apologize for the inconvenience. But the reasons for that could prove to be more interesting than the article itself.

A paper published Monday in a well-known science journal begins with the following sentence: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a pair of grape hemispheres exposed to intense microwave radiation will spark, igniting a plasma.” A universally acknowledged truth indeed... but what causes this microwave marvel? Grant money well spent. Now on to putting forks in the microwavev.
