Why does everyone give business a 'pass' when they complain about something? If this situation is not their own fault, after years of cheaping out on IT, making it a poor career choice, etc then who's fault is it? Furthermore, who the heck are they complaining to that they feel will have more power to change this then themselves? Why do they choose some arbitrary cap for salaries that is below what the market dictates? Why does nobody put up a mirror?
If a person is hiring IT folks should that not be a fricking requirements of the job? I mean, we have all heard some of the ridiculous requirements they put on IT candidates, yet the person *hiring* them doesn't have to know ANYTHING about IT?
So here we have a Hillary Clinton who people have not proven guilty; really all I see here in this thread is rampant speculation of what she could have been up to. And we're ready to crucify her more than a company that admitted to wrong doing, and not until they had to. I really thought there must have been more to the email server issue than that.
A company has really got to acknowledge it is an issue and put money behind it before it does any good. We always see these kinds of whiny articles. It's like a dysfunctional person complaining that it's too hard to quit drinking alcohol every day. We can 'aww' and 'pooh pooh' them all we want, but at some point the only person that can fix it is the corporation.
Honest question, what damage did the email server incident actually cause? I've read some things about it and I don't understand how it is on the same scale as the Equifax breach.
Oh for crying out loud, stop using the true scotsman fallacy in this case. The fallacy requires a person to make a subjective statement that nothing applies to. If you don't like the definition of 'intelligence' being used then say so, but this isn't no true scotsman. As far as I know, intelligence means ability to gather knowledge through external experience, which is a hard and fast definition that can either apply to 'AI' or not. For an 'AI' to truly be intelligent at playing Go, it needs to start with a seed and be shown instructions to Go and learn how to play from that. If someone programmed the rules for Go into it, then it has not learned to play through intelligence. The same 'seed' should also similarly be able to learn to play chess, do s crossword, or identify animals. Intelligence implies a certain amount of general purpose ability, since there are no bounds in the definition for the number of things you use knowledge for in order to be intelligent. This is why a human savant that can't talk or understand anything about life but playing Go or Chess is not called 'intelligent'.
If you need a GPS daily you need to have yourself committed. GPSes are very unreliable where I live. There are turns on major roads and highways that the one in my vehicle doesn't know about. Why? The turn has been there for 20 years! Google maps is usually OK but I need to handle my phone while driving for that, which I can get a ticket for. Maps isn't particularly good at guiding around traffic, so unless you check down your whole route you can still end up in trouble.
The last time I was testing out media player apps, every one had a little sucky built in webserver to upload music to. I didn't understand why until I realized iTunes was the only way to upload music that all apps could share. Not using iTunes meant I had to upload my library for every media app I tried because it got stuck in that app's little jail.
Fleet cars will have many disadvantages. Either you are going to have to wait for a ride during rush hour, or as part of your fare you will have to subsidize hundreds of cars sitting around idle in non-rush hour time. It won't be much different than a taxi today. Personal ownership will still be just as desirable, perhaps more so if you have the flexibility to drive your car home for parking.
Schools are made more central and further away from kids houses these days. Also, in my parent's generation, only one spouse had to work so it was easier to make the kids school schedule fit your schedule.
Well obviously, but it's going to happen unless prices for parking come way down. Basically parking an automated car will need to be cheaper than the gas for the two extra trips, otherwise people will just drive the car home every day.
UI design has only been a thing since the 70's. Is it really a revelation at this point that a badly designed tool can be counterproductive? One thing I see in the industry is that no tool does the job perfectly, so you end up working with a 'pick your own tool' kind of mentality, which forces cross-project people to work with multiple tools.
My point is, if things like this can happen, then it isn't yet regulated *enough*. Companies have long proven they will find any way to take advantage, legal or not, as long as the penalty is worth the reward. Therefore regulation cannot leave any opening.
Now it's acceptable to sign people up for services they were never requesting and take money for them as long as they don't 'catch you'. What a wonderful new world we're headed for.
Why would I think a person is buying a gallon of gas to do something that does harm when there are so many valid uses for gas? On the other hand, I can't think of one valid use for a toy flamethrower.

It's a free market. Keep bumping up the offer until you get what you want. If the market isn't working for you then you're not trying hard enough.

30 years ago they were saying we would have that today.
But traffic is like Go!

Does iTunes even allow you to control how the music is stored on disc yet, just in case you want to use it with a less advanced player?
People like you always say that and I believed you. But now I have a mac and no, it's not really that much better.
No, that's just the way Apple is. They expect you to upgrade to the latest so you can use their software. Yes really.
Oh you must not be familiar with Apple. Everything needs to be at the newest level before anything will work together.

If the person inside needs a drivers license, then the car isn't self driving.
Why would I need a parking spot at work if the car can drive back to my house and come back to pick me up on time?
There was money to build infrastructure for automobiles when automobiles were invented.
