Didn't Elizabeth Holmes start with that sort of idea before she launched the infamous Theranos?
The idea was an implant that could detect pathogens and simultaneously inject the drugs required to kill the pathogen - which apparently was more sophisticated than anything that even Star Trek had.
Mind you I think she did get valued at $9 billion before the whole Theranos debacle fell apart as an alleged scam.

When the Air Force asked hackers to break into a F-15 fighter jet at last year’s DEF CON security conference, the results were both eye-opening and eye-watering. "Mess with the best, die like the rest."

Quote: In just two days, a team of seven hackers found a ton of vulnerabilities, which if exploited in the real world could have crippled a critical aircraft data system, causing untold and potentially catastrophic damage.
It was also proof that the Air Force desperately needed help. 7 people in 2 days Quote: “We absolutely need help,” said Roper. First step is to recognize it.

A Windows 10 kernel bug made it possible to escape Google Chrome's sandbox, a security researcher with Google Project Zero found. Entirely an accident, of course
Although it also affects Edge, so expect a fix sooner than expected otherwise.

Did Google throw a party since for once, it wasn't them?

As they found it, the actual flow was probably, "Oh, elephant, I found another Chrome flaw". "Wait! I can blame this one on Windows! Publish!"

Google today revealed that “nearly half a million developers” now use its open source UI framework Flutter each month. And 2 million developers have used Flutter since version 1.0 was released in December 2018. I wonder how many of those are just the "Hello, world" app?

Tesla has released a few impressive videos of its Autopilot-powered emergency braking feature helping to avoid running over inattentive pedestrians. It's still working on that Trolley Problem though
First step, find some place that still has trolleys
I read that headline so many times before I noticed the "avoiding".

Now the question is...
how many have they paid to the "testers"?
And if not paid, the other question is...
how much are they going to receive after suing Tesla for using them as "beta testers" without telling the implications?

Around here, armed muggers will force you off the road and carjack you, maybe shoot you before they steal your car.
So what it sounds like is with a Tesla, all a carjacker has to do is step into the street and the Tesla will stop and put your whole family in danger of being murdered.
Is there a way to override this "feature"?

Along with setting out the main missing features of Go, developers want better Go support in Microsoft Azure. It's missing the $200 every time you pass it
At least for me, that is.

Linux integration,
Go support in Azure...
Is it me? Or Microsoft is losing its own path?

Do you know the worst thing?
That it is getting so usual, that it doesn't create any reaction more... not even the impulse of answer with a sarcasm or something like that.
It is just

can it be a bug like a stackoverflow in the mail app that allowed a finely crafted script to download some binary or so that gave access to files system via a bypass and hacker could upload the mails and contacts etc to a server ?

Microsoft is detailing how it handles bugs in its software and services using machine learning models. By shipping them?
I mean, there will be more next month. Not like they'll run out if they release them too fast.
Yeah, kind of a dupe of the 97% fix rate article a few days ago, but with that headline, I couldn't resist. All apologies.

No they are sending to the 1.000.000.000 unpaid beta testers.
It is more money efficient (they pay to do that job).
