Taking advantage of that fact, researchers have created a wonderful attack on image recognition systems that uses specially printed stickers that are so interesting to the AI that it completely fails to see anything else.
I predict face paint will become a new fashion.

Hi Marc, face-painting already a 400+ billion$ industry: [^].
In Thailand, skin-whitening lotions and potions ... to try and achieve whiter skin, not for UV protection ... is a gigantic business.

As we move towards a paperless -- and email-free workplace, how will the office of the future look in five years time? HahahHAHaahhAHAHAHHA... no.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the header/title for this item.
I remember back in '95 "they" talked about THE PAPERLESS OFFICE. uh huh, right.

The unnamed and unseen "they" were talking about the paperless office way back in 1986 in my experience.
As for email... yeah, the snail mail post offices will all be closed long before the digital ones ever are.

When did email start getting put in this bucket?
email-less (as in fewer emails) is one thing, email-free is ludicrous.

I think the Slack (etc.) crowd think they've invented the email-killer. Or maybe we just all need to move our businesses to Facebook or something.

Yeah, because handling dozens of channels in Slack, which never stick on topic, is so much simpler. (Even more fun when several conversations on a Slack channel are intertwined.)

The culture of the office would definitely change without printers. Our department printers have become the social hangout spot of choice where rumors and eavesdropping are the norm.

I hope not. I've been using the work printer in lieu of a home printer

Nope, it seems like an age thing. Once the older ones retire, the paper use should go down, but won't go out.

15 months at my current job. I've sent exactly nothing to the office printer so far.
I've done a fair amount of printing total, but that was all due to a project using thermal receipt printers that were flakey enough that print to PDF wasn't able to detect all the problems that needed worked around.
I don't do a lot of internal email here, Slack and Jira are our main communication tools.
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?

I can see chat bots replacing email for a lot of status check / process enquiry type emails that we use currently... for example most HR interactions.

Migration watch: Windows 10's share of all Windows PCs is now expected to exceed Windows 7's by September 2018. Even so, large numbers of users will still be using the older OS when support ends in two years. Hurry! You only have two years to install Win10
Depending on how many reboots it makes you do, you might be in trouble

Operations engineers have a few complaints about working with developers that shouldn’t be dismissed as merely rants because they are very real issues that Ops faces. "The servers are fine. It's your code."

There are right and wrong ways to ask for a higher salary. Experts weigh in on what to say and when. "Gimme your money please."
or, "I'm looking for pound notes, loose change, bad checks, anything. Gimme some money"

Walk into HR with a mask on and scream "GIVES ME ALL THE DOLLARS!"

HR might need to send you down to Accounts Payable, though

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Intel has now officially responded to these reports, calling them “incorrect” and “inaccurate,” and saying it had planned to discuss this very issue next week. "Billy did it too!" always works

Tabby's Star, also known as KIC 8462852, is quite a mystery. Located about 1,280 light-years from Earth, the star puts on an interesting light show every now and then, dimming and brightening at unpredictable times. Someone's leaning against the switch?

Is there an opposite to "Occam's Razor"; where the first answer is the most incredibly complex, unrealistic and convoluted?
Always amazed when people buy into whatever that word is and get very upset when you suggest it may be something simpler.

A new compiler tool from Altimesh, Hybridizer, is intended to address this issue by providing C# developers with a way to target GPUs by producing a CUDA binary from their C# source. So you can really see what a garbage collection cycle looks like?
