40 years of code could mean 2-3 years of development, and then fixing a bug here and there and updating this or that every now and then. Just because some of the code is 40 years old does not equate to 40 years of development time.
5 years is a pretty long time to focus on straight dev time. Sounds like the mismanagement part had more of an impact than just using the excuse of it being a "legacy system". I realize that management always portays the timeline as 1/3 of what it will actually take to develop something, but wasting 5 years and $300 million... It's hard for me to think of a justification for that!
Why do many people with STEM degrees not work in STEM jobs? They apparently count management and education as non-STEM, even if these people are managing STEM projects or teaching STEM courses. That already accounts for the two biggest groups.
Precisely, agree 100%.
At my college, they had a Mathematics degree inside of an education program. Obviously everyone with that type of a degree are going into the education field. And a degree in IT Management... Although it has IT in the name, is not a STEM degree! A "STEM degree" does not always equate to a "STEM job".
I guess the person who did this study's statistics did not have a STEM degree.
A spokesman for CNN said the company had a fix ready and was working with Apple to have it approved and released to the iTunes AppStore.
How many people are going to read this and take advantage of the flaw before Apple approves the release to the AppStore?
That's one argument for Android. Not having to wait for releases of App updates.
Firefly can recognize lots of things, but it's incredibly, hilariously inconsistent." "Firefly is the one Fire Phone feature you'll want on any phone you're currently using.
Why would I want to have a software feature on the phone i"m currently using that is incredibly, hilariously inconsistent?
the researchers summarized how they strapped an eye tracker, an electrodermal sensor and an EEG sensor
I'm sure being hooked up to something similar to a polygraph doesn't make a developer more stressful at all. Was the fact that they had all this equiptment hooked up to them a factor in their statistics?
40' RV? That's like when the trashiest of white trash wins the lottery.
That's hilarious. Measuring your son's success by the length of his RV. I bet all the MS exec's are drowning in envy.
Maybe the company is doing X number of millions in sales or has a workforce of thousands of employees. That would be an impressive success quota.
I thought it was rather straight-forward and cold.
We are moving now to start reducing the first 13,000 positions, and the vast majority of employees whose jobs will be eliminated will be notified over the next six months.
Without reading the details.. I doubt this will pass, if its democrat sponsered, the repubs will shut it down in the house. If it's GOP approved, the senate will kill it. Gotta love our divided country!
Seperation of power results in loss of power for all!
Earlier today new pages leaked on the Amazon website
Someone "accidently" leaked pages on a website. This was not an intentional plan to raise hype all over the internet over a new subscription service. Of course not.
To turn down a $80 billion dollar deal...that's the price Time Warner is willing to pay to keep their successful business successful. South Park sold out to Hulu for only a fraction of the price, $80 million! $80 billion, nah, we're better off independent.
Normally threatening to cancel always results in a lower bill, but man, after hearing that, I should be able to really get a low rate!
All the reps probably have a quota per day of how many people they can turn around from wanting to cancel. We can use that to our advantage!
Instead of finding a job that is future proof, or learning a set of skills that will get her a job, why not recommend to her to do something that she enjoys doing?
No one can predict the future, and settling for a future proof job because the job that she would want to do may possibly go away sometime in the future sounds like setting her up for a miserable life. The best advice is to follow a path that she enjoys. A job will always be just a job, but a career is doing something that you love.
Because of programming. If keywords, etc. are in english in programming languages, why not have english planet names? I.e. include, using, new, delete, if, else, etc.

What's an 'App store'?
racked by delays and mismanagement

Wow. Behind the times much?
No, I'm just a linux programmer.
physicists have never been entirely comfortable with the idea that regions of the universe can become infinitely density.
Infinitely density. Wow. The Engrish need helped.
Everything looks flat on my old CRT monitors!
But give free updates for iOS?

There was some news a while ago when the the Spanish Flu of 1918 was recovered in this way, albeit intentionally in the interest of science.

somebody needs to stop freetards running amok
That just made me laugh! Freetards...Classic!
I agree, it would be more useful the other way around. Turn the van into a "Driver Speak Easy". That would really be helpful to parents.
Also, having a username of "C-3PhilO" would be much cooler. Just a tip for the next time you get to choose a username.
you people

If you had to narrow it down to one thing that needs the most improvement in the field of AI, something that we could focus on, what would it be?

Eliminated!
