Superconductivity offers the promise of hyper-efficient electric motors, ultra powerful magnets, and the transmission of electricity without losses. Not cool!
Actually, super cool if they can fix that pressure problem, and it sounds like a useful project for computer modelling.

In a blog post today, Google disclosed that it recently discovered a bug that caused some portion of G Suite users to have their passwords stored in plain text. Good thing no one uses their stuff
Oh, just the corporate accounts. Well then, nothing important would have been stored there then.

To fully protect yourself from potential Zombieload attacks, vendors and early benchmarks show you'll face performance losses of up to 40%. Can't we just shoot them in the head (twice)?

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a new framework for building deep neural networks via grammar-guided network generators. From someone (very) outside of the field, it really seems like we've hit an inflection point on AI dev

I will fight anyone anyway, despite needing the job like anybody else. The last Company got the short end of the stick: after years of Don Quichotting against them I lost all the enthusiasm and left them at the first chance.
They do love their VB6 and single-thread architecture... I don't.

Tech companies used to be all about self-regulation, but now, like a kid wanting to be grounded because he just can’t keep his hand out of the cookie jar, the industry is beginning to call for federal regulation. Stop me before I ship again!
