The verbal and physical signs of lying are harder to detect than people believe, a study suggests. I had to include this one, as the headline blew my mind

I am not worried about liars, I do think they are not that difficult to spot.
I am worried about people that really think their "lie / alternative reality" is the truth. These are the really dangerous ones.

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?

Over the past 18 months, Microsoft has been working towards building a digital identity system using blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies. With these identities aims to enhance personal privacy, security, and control. Is that where you use the same user id and password on multiple sites?

|

Researchers at Indiana University have confirmed that stringent password policies – aside from being really annoying – actually work. OK, password changed to 83tt3rP@ssw0rd. I'm so safe now.

That's so safe, I'm going to use it.

We should get everyone to use it. We'll all be so secure!

If I'm correctly understanding what I read there, the benefit is only in that it's an outlier, and 83tt3rP@ssw0rd is only reused less than p4$$W0rd because most sites will let users get away with reusing something shorter. If these boneheads did manage to convince the web to switch to longer PWs, 83tt3rP@ssw0rd would become equally ubiquitous due to reuse.

That recruiting tool was trained with some data: previous applications and their outcomes. Since the people producing those outcomes had a strong bias against women, the Artificial Intelligence learned that a strong bias against women is what it is expected to do.

A new survey of senior IT decision makers at some of the world's largest organizations that still rely on legacy mainframe systems reveals that most want to move away from the technology due to the high cost and inflexibility that it has brought to their business. This survey brought to you by every year since about 1985
And it's about as likely to happen as it did in any of those years

Are there any reportable cases of major businesses actually reducing the number of mainframes they're using or stopping all together, or is this just a rehash of the last 20+ years of businesses stating they want to but not successfully following through due to various reasons (financial or technical)?

I've only ever heard of one or two big companies switching off their mainframe (and one went to SAP of all horrors). Thus my comment about "every year since 1986". I think the writers just dust off this article/survey regularly.
Of course the way it was worded in this one was accurate - they "want" to move off the mainframe. It just ain't going to happen in this lifetime.
