Government can give you nothing but what it takes from somebody else. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

In the corporate world, managers know how to interpret standard metrics, especially when those are accompanied by dollar signs. But just as flower boxes can suggest that a community is blooming, managers can judge whether their teams are healthy by looking for subtler signs. (items_in_backlog/num_developers)*(num_managers^3)

Microsoft says that Windows 10 and Windows Server users will be blocked from installing incorrectly formatted third-party drivers after deploying this month's cumulative updates. That should help with the first-party drivers as well
I'm really surprised it took them this long.

Determining fault when AI plays a role in a person’s injury or death is no easy task. I'm betting it rhymes with envelopers

It may not be an easy task, but if they just made the members of the board responsible monetarily and criminally, deaths would probably go WAY DOWN real fast. (So would innovation.) There is a high chance their push to product at the cheapest of all costs is the underlying culprit.

We'll see the outcome of the Boing 737 max case (though it was not "artificial intelligence", just a conventional algorithm and hardware).

Open source's main patent protection organization is expanding its reach far beyond just Linux. Great news for all of us that are ExFAT (and currently FAT)
I wonder what it took to get the Microsoft legal department to stand this far down?

Honest: There are times when hiring another QA professional isn’t the answer. You have plenty of customers to test it in production?

That drawer full of bad headphones and extra power adapters for your phone won’t get any more cluttered if you decide to pick up a new iPhone 12. You were charging it wrong anyway

Why give it in the same box when you can charge some $$$ more for them later?

Yup. Doing is now, when they're pushing wireless charging mats is perfect timing. Every iFan is going to need several new chargers, which is the perfect time to stop giving them away for free and start charging for them.
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?

A coalition of software industry leaders today is releasing a BizOps Manifesto, a framework that aims to finally address the need for the business and IT sides of an enterprise to work toward common outcomes that drive the bottom line. Because until now, IT has been completely separate from the business
And we're a little closer to OpsOps.
