The idea that businesses should actually train the workforce that they need, such as with apprenticeships, sponsoring employees in education on the job, or whatever, seems to be lost on Spanish businesses, I guess?
And let the employee get snatched up by some other company once trained? That's a losing strategy.
The problem is that the computer crashed the car in a very stupid way that most likely would have been prevented if a human was driving the car. I mean the computer failed to notice a huge lorry. I would have noticed it even without my glasses.
I remember talking with someone who shared an experience she had had a few weeks earlier. She was a road construction worker, holding a stop sign and there were a few cars stopped. A big tractor trailer came to a stop, a little bit later the back of the trailer jumped up and went back down. She radioed in that she thought something was wrong and went to investigate. A motorcycle had come to a complete stop behind the trailer, but the pickup truck driver behind the motorcycle wasn't paying attention, didn't see the trailer and rammed right into it, crushing the motor cycle (and it's driver) between his pickup and the trailer. Not a fun thing to discover.
I know that for the vast majority of people, they would never miss a tractor trailer, but it does surprisingly happen.
does anyone release malware that can't evade Windows Defender out of the box?
Given Window Defenders wide spread usage, it would kind of be pointless to do so. Evading Windows Defender would be the minimum requirement for any new piece of malware.
How is that not a moral dilemma of human piloted cars. And seriously, what's the probability that we can debate this day in and day out, and then in the history of autonomous vehicles, it never comes up?
This is talked about as the biggest settlement ever, and it certainly is bad what Volkswagen did, but nobody died because of this. I think there are some messed up priorities in the system.
A self piloted car is less likely to be in a situation like that, than a car being driven by a human. A self piloted car will only go where it knows it can safely go. And it will be surrounded a network of sensors, informing it of what it comin a head.
I believe that "His Girl Friday" still holds the record for the most amount of words per minute, than any other movie. I don't believe that movie would possibly be more enjoyable at a faster speed.
75% turn out of a vote is not low. It's noticeably higher than being statistically significant. So result probably won't be different if you include more people.
Is encryption over ytalk and irc going to be banned?
I don't think that Russia is worried about the small minority of people who use ytalk and irc. They watch the news and news caster pound each other stupid talking about how social media (ie, forms of communications controlled by a single proprietary platform) is liberating populations from oppressive governments. Those are the communications the Russian government is afraid of. Popular ones.
I would say that social justice parents are more likely to reject Barbie altogether
True, but sometimes as a parent, the best you can do is find some sort of middle ground. "I don't want you to have a Barbie, but if you have to have one, so help me, it's going to be one encouraging non-traditional roles!"
I don't believe that young girls buy Barbies. They ask for them for gifts. So it's possible that the first rush of sellout is happening because social justice parents want their girls to have some influence into making computers look cool, even though the daughter will have that Barbie program a game once, when her parents are looking, and then just play with the doll in non-programming settings from then on.
FreeDOS is still supported, so I don't see a problem with this. Why change it if it works?
You're assuming that it works for them. It's possible that every employee hates using something so ancient. Also, laws are being changed\introduced around medicine and software. You don't want to be stuck on a system that can be legislated away. You at least want to be on a system that has a migration path away from it.
Anybody remember Logo, with all those drawing turtles?
I do remember Logo. I remember in the second grade that we'd file into the computer lab, the teacher would speak commands we would type into computer and the turtle would draw an object. Then once in a while a kid would screw up, and the turtle would fill the screen with lines, and we'd all find it funny. I'm pretty sure that the teachers had no idea what the different commands did, and no one ever mentioned it outside of class. Then when we went to the third grade no one mentioned it again.
I'm assuming since it's an app it doesn't actually do anything outside of its little box. So the trick will be if it's easy for a kid learning in the Playground to then create a real executable to do whatever they want to their computer.
Well the SAN vendor sells you on the superior redundancy of the SAN. It's so superior that there are no need for backups. Plus with disks as big as they are now, you can create databases so big that even incremental backups are taking more than 24 hours.
What the SAN vendor won't tell you is that a SAN is a single point of failure in the system. When it decides to corrupt the data, there goes your data.
I make a lot of quick assumptions with nothing to back them up other than reasoning, my own form of reasoning that only few seem to follow or appreciate.
I remember in University when talking to someone who started as a CS major but then dropped out, that the predominate reason for why they didn't like CS was "You forget to place a semi-colon at the end of the line and nothing compiles. It's very annoying".
I've thought about that a lot and the best I can come up with is that C should have used the period '.' to end a statement. Because in many Western languages the period is the symbol for ending a statement. I think it would really help students if the character which ended a statement in a written language that they already use, was the same character in the first programming language they are exposed to.
I hope that AI's will be incapable of writing scripts without plot holes; they should be incapable of creating them. Of course the movie might then be less enjoyable to the majority of the movie going public, but I look forward to it.
Here's my limited experience, I place discs in the slot and the game plays. If I'm looking for something in the store I use the search capabilities, which might use Bing in some manner, I don't know because nothing says Bing. Given that I've only purchased at most two items from the store I don't think that I've been overwhelmed by a Bing experience.
I bought a new xboxOne some time ago. the thing is so deeply integrated with Bing it makes me sick.
As someone who uses his Xbox One about once or twice a week I'm legitimately curious about what you're seeing. I've never seen anything which made me think "That's integrated with Bing".
How will women ever get high-paying jobs if there's no incentive to gain experience with entry-level jobs?
Passion, the need for more, the realization that they'll need to gain the experience to open up new opportunities. The amount of basic income I'm thinking about was just shy of $1000 a month. Certainly not anything one could live comfortably on their own with, but if it came down to being the only ticket out of a bad marriage, I'd want women to have it.
I know that many will consider me sexist (I don't consider myself sexist), I just think that there are situations where men and women are different, and that this is one of those situations. Perhaps when automation really has taken the vast majority of jobs today my tune will change, but it will probably be the increase the amount of money given to women, and if a man wants access to that money, he'll have to be desirable enough for a woman to want to remain married to him.

It's good to know that general purpose computers are good for something, and that there's something new beyond appy smartphone appy app apps.
How much bespoke software is custom written for the government of Bulgaria?

The turn-out was relatively low for such an important decision.
75% is low? That's pretty high.

I would be willing to use any browser if it provided me with a regular source of gold bullion.
