Excellent point and one that I'd like to add to. Anticipating edge cases and use patterns is a talent that one can only acquire from being in the trenches and in most cases understanding your end user's business better than they do.

Writing [good] software IS hard, but management thinks it's magic.
Put in less snarky terms; writing good software takes time, but management doesn't believe it.

We can surmount the technical and human obstacles to a dramatically more secure internet, but one factor stands in the way. It's me. Sorry about that.

I didn't read the whole thing but another crytolocker "customer" came in this morning. He open a zip file that encrypted his machine and the oh so safe google drive too. No amount of ssl is going to fix this.
There is NO SUCH THING as internet security anymore than there is LIFE SECURITY. If you do dumb things you can get robbed killed or maimed. Forget diseases.
I'm having a bad day cause I can't do anything for him. Even the instructions to get the key from the crooks doesn't work this time.
Sometimes people come in here with dusted hard drives and haven't even thought about backup.
I like to make peoples day not tell them because of their ignorant stupidity they have lost everything.

No, thanks though, it's Locky and AFAWCT there aren't any Locky decryptors yet.
My closing tag keeps getting swallowed by the forum software and I couldn't figure out how to fix it so....

Maybe this would work?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Doesn't seem to work with this variant. (osiris)
Thanks a heap though.

Google's first wave of security changes to convert webmasters to encrypted HTTPS target pages that ask for login data or credit card information. Every page on Yahoo, I think (based on recent news)

If you want to make predictions for the future, you need to find the trajectory of events in the past. So to work out what shape digital technology will likely take next year, we should look back to the major developments of 2016. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug."

Look at the past to predict the future? I wonder how many people could predict high resolution bendable screens when they invented the first color tv.
If you want to somehow plot future development create a nicely curved upwards graph and then make it a lot steeper. :P

What a clueless, dumb article. Why would, say, Ford want to connect their robots to those at Boeing? Why would person A want to connect their home automation with those of person B? (Ignoring that home automation doesn't make much sense in the first place.)
Having self-driving cars "talk" to each other when in close proximity is arguably critical, but otherwise, why waste the bandwidth sharing useless information?

At this week’s “Love and Sex with Robots” conference at Goldsmith University in London, David Levy, author of a book on human-robot love, predicted that human-robot marriages would be legal by 2050. And the first human-robot divorce by 2051
