This is completely shocking. Who would have thought that a subsidiary of News Corporation would stoop to something like hacking and electronic surveillance?/s
Next she'll be saying they hacked her phone... oh wait
Yep and if you upped the energy output to make it doable what about all the energy that would be wasted broadcasting energy to where there wasn't a phone to charge which is going to be 99.999% of the room
They wouldn’t even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.
Because when you think “this will work for 99% of cases” the corollary is “the rest of 1% can go fudge themselves”. Sometimes that is fine, but if a person can't get their pension, that is certainly not ok. Consider this a cautionary tale for programmers.
Why blame the programmers? For all we know this was in the business requirements
while doubling the entire amount allows for the customer seeing the first result and _then_ telling you what they really want.
You are handling scope creep wrong. Agree the scope then estimate and charge appropriately if they wan't to change the scope you re-estimate (Including for backtracking and scraping existing work that has already been done) and then charge them again.
It's a tragedy that this guy killed himself but I'm sure that working for a bunch of assholes was just a contributing factor the guy had clearly successfully moved jobs several times in the past and I'm sure it wouldn't have been difficult for him to do it again. That his widow is suing Uber over his suicide just smacks of jumping on the "Everyone Hates Uber" bandwagon
No Slashdotters are happy because now they can jump the gun without actually reading the summary (never mind the actual article) and rail against the idea that men might actually become obsolete when actually the summary & article are about an alternative to the incubator which will hopefully reduce the premature birth mortality rate by an order of magnitude.
So the ISP didn't do enough security patching and left their clients vulnerable to malware. BrickerBot just stopped their devices from being used to hack/ddos others. I'm not saying either is right but surely the ISP is guilty of not doing due diligence. Blaming BrickerBot alone is not the answer.
Yup you beat me to it. This artificial womb will save millions of lives each year and prevent millions more from suffering disabilities caused by premature birth. Think of it as a replacement for the incubator rather than an artificial womb but with a much higher survival rate than the 30% we get with current incubators at 23-24 weeks.
Well if all those moths that breed from the plastic bag feeding frenzy get loose the recent Colony Collapses observed by bee keepers will seem like a happy memory which would be very very bad.

If the early hominids had seen where evolution was taking them they'd have downed tools and gone back to the trees
If it blows it will cause millions of pounds worth of refurbishments
This is completely shocking. Who would have thought that a subsidiary of News Corporation would stoop to something like hacking and electronic surveillance? /s
Next she'll be saying they hacked her phone... oh wait
Why is this even on Slashdot?
What hacking & surveillance aren't enough for you?

Surely you meant "AI" or "deep neural net", not just a "computer program"? It is 2017.
I can't let you do that Dave!

First, apparently no programmer on the job was smart enough to consider people over 100 years old.
Erm RTFS maximum age was set at 110 years. And how do we know this arbitrary limit wasn't defined in in the damned BR's
Clearly they didn't do a Boundary Value Analysis and didn't cover their Equivalence Partition Classes correctly

And yet Apollo made it there in 2 & a bit days!
My figures were taken from an article on the device
Don't expect suicidal people to voluntarily walk away from the things troubling them, they may not believe walking away is an option.
Yep they have a tendency to cling like hell to the very things that are making them depressed and suicidal in the first place

Why didn't he ever register as an engineer, or at least stop going around telling people he's something he is legally not?
I think his glass was twice the required capacity
If he didn't like the culture why didn't he just get another job?

I just hope that with $185M in the bank she decides to retire. Either that or takes over as Chairwoman of Oracle
