Silicon Valley has long been known for its “ask forgiveness, not permission” and “move fast and break things” attitudes, but lately it’s had to reckon with the consequences of that mindset. Sorry, should I have warned you before dropping this shocking news on you?

Now we wait for the research that says it has a financial benefit and few repurcussions if stuff breaks.

We did; most research is done at public funded universities. The last 5% is done by some private entity who can copyright it and make the profit.

The potential for wasting taxpayers' money and greed don't really need to be researched, do they?
Why bother researching things that are 100%?

It's not 100%; there's always a retard trying to do the right thing.
..but otherwise you are right. For 99.999999999901%.

Interesting stuff. I wouldn't have expected such clear-cut results, especially in the test to see if locomotion can cause ethical failures.
Nothing will be done with it, of course. People who don't have any sense can't see sense, even if it's put right in front of their noses.

Proposed contract allows Verisign to raise registration fees 7 percent per year. Sounds like a dot-con
I guess Verisign has to make up for all those people not paying (through the nose) for certificates

Well, they'll just have to work 70% (the eventual total) harder at providing cr@p customer support.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning aren’t the only changes to expect in QA, but they’re a big part of it. If we test with AI, will only the dumb bugs get through?

Software doesn't spontaneously generate new capabilities; it a brute force attack on nearby WiFi networks. It merely proves that a weak password gives weak security.

zdnet wrung their hands and wailed: it relies on users utilizing weak passwords for their WiFi networks So you can stop reading at that point.
Amazing, isn't it, that giving your phone number, mother's maiden name, etc, to google et al has never proved to be anywhere near as effective as using a sensible password?
And biometrics in a business environment can be an administrative nightmare.

We've all shared the frustration—software updates that are intended to make our applications run faster inadvertently end up doing just the opposite. Uh..the programmers?

Every so often, a tweet goes viral showing someone making a beat by wielding two barcode scanners in front of a sheet of assorted line patterns. It's all fun and games until you get the bill after checkout

The special orders suggest that the FTC is honing in on the question of how Big Tech companies use acquisitions to amass power and how the data from acquired companies are used. No takies-backsies!

CNBC said: The commission voted 5-0 to issue special orders to review the past mergers. Wow.
They really did a bad job of buying off, scaring, and intimidating the commissioners!
Maybe they should start taking advice on how to run a business from honest people.
