If they pumped the methane expulsions of the passengers ahead of their ion creation strips, I'm certain they could increase their efficiency!

Online e-commerce platform Amazon has sent out emails today to some of its customers blaming a "technical error" for a data leak that exposed the email addresses associated with their accounts. Good thing no one shops there
|
|
|
|
|
I got one and it looked like badly written spam.
|
|
|
|
|
The technical error being that they forgot to close the fired guy's admin account.

The disclosure letters are very bad - failing to mention when the data was leaked, how many parties received the data or the nature of them, and how long the data remained accessible. I suspect they may be subject to a GDPR ruling in Europe, which may make them reconsider data security (up to 5% of annual turnover, which could be quite a windfall for the EU).

Invalidate the processor cache so that any stray gamma rays (I'm serious) that may have flipped cache bits while in S1 will be ignored. We could have had Hulk CPUs smashing our data
|

A solution that would be far easier to implement without problems is to send people out in vans to collect the stray gamma rays and take them to the pound.
I hear that packs of them hang around outside butcher shops, to steal hyperstrings of sausages.

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?

Two patches pulled altogether; another is known to cause crashes but should be used anyway. At least this time, it's not "Blame Canada", but "Blame Japan"
It's a new era.
Wait, is this the third era they talked about in that other news item?

If that's the one you mean, it's missing a "sh", somewhere.
But you do have to wonder what kind of uber-spaghetti code it is that causes a change to a calendar that's only used in one country to result in crashes. I mean, who outside of Japan even loads the Japanese calendar?
The other one, though, I have to admit that I like it -- anything that stops me receiving e-mail for a while is very welcome.

don't hold your breath, they're already releasing 'news' of vs2019... just as with vs2013 and vs2015 vs2017 will soon be abandoned incomplete.
Rapid release cycle: eventually bugs will be superseded away (new bugs notwithstanding).
It's also why UWP (or whatever they will call it tomorrow) is loosing, both the platform and it's tools (and yes, even it's name too) for it keep changing: how's anyone meant to code stable [beyond simpleton] apps for that?

Digital transformation has reached a 'tipping point', report claims. Is that the 'pupa' stage, or 'anaphase'?

Jeeze, just give 'em Excel, and let 'em get on with it. That's all they really want.

I think IT has a whole has reached a tipping point. I know lots of people who are either tipping a few too many, or some that would like to receive tips (myself included) from the users I serve.

From the article, with hidden text shown: The system alerted a Google AI, which went through its database of advertisers' products to find something that might be useful, even though it was eight times more expensive than the most effective remedy, then texted Spencer’s doctor, who approved its proposed course of action and agreed his cut of the profits. No room for abuse there, is there?

A top tech exec thinks we need to slow down the internet a bit. That way, no one can catch up

He needs to start throwing shoes in those internet tubes.

The way I read it, what he really means is that we have to get rid of facebook and twitter. I just wonder if he himself realises that that is actually what he really means.

Scam calls are rising from about 3.7 percent of all calls just last year to nearly 30 percent of calls in 2018. By 2019, the number will be closer to 46 percent. But really - you HAVE won a cruise!

This will have a huge effect on my lifestyle.

I've experienced an increase of scam calls, but also a massive decrease in non-scam calls.
