The nation's top lawyers recently battled artificial intelligence in a competition to interpret contracts — and they lost. You had me at, "beat lawyers"

So, do we now ask; What do you call one AI at the bottom of the ocean?

No, it's something that wakes me up in the morning, receives the odd phone call and allows me to check the cricket scores. You really wouldn't find out much about my life by looking at my phone.
I think there's a huge gap here between those young types that are permanently plugged into the damned things to the point that they can't even walk down a street properly and old farts like myself who treat the thing as a pocket telephone.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

As the big-screen Steven Spielberg adaptation inches closer to theaters, the marketing masterminds at Warner Bros. have been tapping into that nostalgia with Easter egg-filled trailers, and now there’s an online arcade with a number of vintage games to play. Beware the "unbeatable?" pterodactyl!

Researchers have set a new speed record for the 'logic gates' that form the building blocks of quantum computing -- a technology that could transform the way we process information. Is it just me, or are quantum computers heavy on, "lookitthis", and light on, "1+1"?
Yeah, I know, it's early, but someone promised me a SQUID

Google's vertical search tormentors in Europe have called for Alphabet's cash cow to be broken up, arguing that Google's solution hasn't improved competition. Seems to me I've seen this movie before

What is wrong with these european anti-business people. All they have to do is Google "top internet search sites" to find all of googles competitors.
|
|
|
|
|
Not anti-business; but Google has become too powerfull to exist, and must follow Ma Bell.
--edit
It is also not just about competition in search-engines; it is about their parent-company that has now more political influence in Europe than could be considered healthy. It kills innovation and threathens democracy in the long-run.

although I admit, I know nothing of googles/alphabets european influence. My comment was merely meant to be a bit of sarcasm telling them to google, googles competitors. I enjoyed the ironic aspect of it.

The problem isn't Google, but that companies persist in the belief that online advertising is highly effective and worth the money they pay for it.

May be the dumbest thing I've read in a very long time and arguing with stupid is a Sisyphean task.

Technology users who receive guidance when setting passwords -- including how likely it is that hackers could break into their accounts -- are significantly more likely to make their choices secure. Colour me unconvinced

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

When functional programming started to become a “thing” in the software industry, I had a lot of difficulty understanding the fundamentals. Coming soon: when do-loops don't loop, and when functions are funky

Popular ad-blocking browser extension AdBlock has added a new feature that will cache popular JavaScript libraries locally on the users' computers. Fewer ads, faster pages. How could I lose?
Other than having 23 cached versions of jQuery on my machine, that is

I use my hosts file to block ads. It works amazingly well, it's free, and it can't be turned off or hacked. I wish I could do the same thing on my iPad.

As technology trends changed, Mono's Windows.Forms platform has not been actively developed, but does remain a common dependency for various third party libraries and applications making its support important beyond those writings WinForms applications directly. Just in time for no one to care

A major dust-up on an Internet discussion forum is touching off troubling questions about the security of some browser-trusted HTTPS certificates when it revealed the CEO of a certificate reseller emailed a partner the sensitive private keys for 23,000 TLS certificates. What if he asked that person (nicely) to delete the email?
|

Could be a chain letter deal where the letter told the Trustico CEO he had to email 23,000 private keys to people he knew or he would encounter bad luck. I give him props, he tried to avoid the bad luck, but it was probably supposed to be 1 private key to 23,000 people. Instead he did 23,000 private keys to 1 person. Minor oversight, but if you don't do it right, the letter clearly states get the bad juju.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
