Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates spoke out against protectionism in technological research around topics like artificial intelligence, arguing that open systems will inevitably win out over closed ones. Because if there's one guy who knows about keeping stuff open, it's His Billness

This guy will never be taken seriously in the scientific community ever again.
He may as well look for other work, such as sweeping standing water off sidewalks, or running the machine that puts the ridges on the sides of checkers.

Cook said that privacy is a factor that must be present throughout the development process when creating new products — it's not something you can "bolt-on" after-the-fact. As a counter argument: Safari

So far, physicists have identified four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force.
But now, researchers have found new evidence for a fifth force of nature — and it could help us finally unravel the mystery of dark matter. Midichlorians?
Political opinions? (repulsive force)
Duct tape?
The force that causes there always to be a headwind when you're riding your bike?

It could be the pseudo higgs boson for a nearby superconducting strong interaction vacuum state I conjectured in the late 90th (see here[^], in could even has implications on dark energy problem, in case any one in interested to know

Researchers from Trustwave’s SpiderLabs discovered the spam emails, which come with an 'Install Latest Microsoft Windows Update now!' or 'Critical Microsoft Windows Update!’ subject line. Microsoft, of course, doesn’t send out Windows updates through email. It's bad enough we have to worry about the legitimate Windows updates

I thought Windows was hardened against this kind of crap.

A new study of artificial intelligence suggests better-paid, better-educated workers might be more impacted by automation than previously thought. Then they came for me...
Oh, wait - "Market research analysts". Bring it on!

I continue thinking that we will be in the last group to get (if we get) replaced.
And I mean real developers / good professionals as the ones one can find here in CP.
Codemonkeys and sub-standard QA-Enquirers... those are another thing.

IT operations teams and security teams within a company don’t communicate as well as they could, which makes the entire organisation more vulnerable to cyber-threats than it should be. "Why can't we all just get along?"

I disagree... there are companies where they are not more vulnerable.

That's my environment, though. The USAF has so much security absurdity in place that it's almost impossible to get anything done.

IBM, Microsoft and the Linux Foundation have partnered with the Open Invention Network (OIN), a company formed to protect Linux from patent threats, to take on "Patent Assertion Entities", also known as patent trolls. "Trolls are only counterfeits, made by the Enemy in the Great Darkness"

On the one hand, there’s an understandable desire to standardize — a set of approved languages can help reign in maintenance costs and long-term viability. But equally, many of us recognize the benefits of using whichever language the developer feels allows them to express themselves most eloquently. 42?
Or rather I guess 43 as 42 is the right number?
