If this measure passes, companies will turn their boards into puppet governance, and move their real governance down the line. There will be strong representation of women, but these new boards will find themselves having little to no actual strategic engagement.
Deepfaked porn of celebrities' faces presents a serious harassment. However, I suggest this pales into insignificance when compared to a vastly bigger threat: evidence fabrication. A face swap pic can be enough to destroy careers, even put innocent people into prison.
Before a Javascript framework even gets to first beta release, it's already months obsolete. This makes it scary for companies investing in high-end web apps. It's unnerving to commit to a framework when you know the support community could suddenly die away without warning.
What should an employer do in cases where female employees take significantly more time out of the industry then male ones, to raise kids?
If an employer has a female workforce with average experience of (say) 10 years, and males with average 15 years experience, and if it's a sector such as medicine where experience massively affects capability, how should the pay policy work?
If the employer pays by gender equality, then female employees of lesser experience who took time out for child raising will be getting paid more than male employees of greater experience who stayed, continued their training and built their skills. Employees of greater merit will be suffering pay disadvantage.
But if the employer pays by merit and experience, the average female pay will be significantly lower than average male pay, and the employer will be exposed to legal problems.
Every country that remains a signatory under the Paris Accord, and upholds its respective commitments, has the right to impose unilateral tariffs on the USA to cover the economic and social impacts resulting from the USA's impacts on the climate.
Ban kids learning coding. Ban unlicensed access to programming tools. Show videos in classes of kids who take up coding then end up addicted to it, spending 18 hours a day in front of their screens. Kids sneaking into dark alleyways, handing over their hard-saved cash and getting a USB drive of IDEs, software frameworks, libraries, utilities. Kids selling their code on the black market, then ultimately getting busted.
In Australia, burner phones are illegal. You can't even buy a prepaid SIM card without producing and linking it to a government-issued ID. But in New Zealand, you can buy as many burner phones as you want - they're next to the chocolate bars in the supermarket check-outs and cost as little as $10. This makes the
Australian rules ridiculous given that actual terrorists and criminals could just visit NZ and post the burners back over to Australia, and use them in roaming mode.
I suffered a lot of stress trying to get a final year university assignment finished in time for submission. One of the simplest operations - embedding audio clips within presentation slides - is still extremely flawed. In LibreOffice, it causes a 10-30 second hang after opening each slide. Completely unacceptable in any situation. On the other hand, Apache OpenOffice 4 works normally, exactly as it should.
Then, there's the issue of exporting to MS formats. Some of my university papers require documents to be submitted in MS formats. When exporting from Libre Office, the result is a document that gets completely distorted opening up in MS Office. Spacing, formatting, indentations, layout get completely screwed. This cost me significant marks in the past with a couple of papers before I started arranging with lecturers to accept PDFs.
Yes, LibreOffice is a knight in shining armour. But a lot of the armour is more like tinfoil.
It would appear that India is choosing to squander its immense talent pool, and forego its future as a major world IT player.
(Or, as others have pointed out, it's covertly encouraging a new boom in steganography technology.)
I am one of these "smug vegetarians" to which you refer. In fact, apart from the most occasional bits of cheese, I am mainly vegan.
All I will say here is that MEAT IS THE NEW TOBACCO. Almost as addictive, and just as much denial. A willingness to play Russian Roulette with one's future for the sake of that pleasant oral sensation now.
(Apart from any observations about how technological advances are largely driven by porn and guns)...
I can see some people mounting camera-sighted scope rifles on their drones. Protecting the lives of controversial public figures has suddenly become a whole lot more difficult. Expect an arms-war of RF jamming and anti-drone drones, and countermeasures to these, in endless iterations.
Imagine if the authors/publishers of all those 1000-page tl;dr sleep-inducing university/college texts only got paid for each page actually read by each student. They'd go broke overnight, or very quickly figure out how to make their texts a lot more engaging!
This seems like the place to ask - have there been fearmongering campaigns against Net Neutrality in the USA? I was having a discussion about it on a business web forum and copped some brutal flames for speaking in its defense; people on that forum are making it out to be some kind of communist gulag that will destroy future internet innovation. Every time I made a point in favour of net neutrality, they would scream "Don't you believe in property rights, you TROLL?"
Design and implement a new Silk Road, with an architecture that resists detection and takedown far more vigorously than the earlier incarnations. You'll have enough to retire on within months. Problem solved.
Above and beyond any specific policy areas such as coding standards, seniority mixes and son on, the biggest and most important thing to manage is the overall software development culture. If you can energise the culture, and inspire people to believe in the mission, to fight for it like their own flesh and blood, as well as to honour each other's diversity of perspectives, you will achieve far more than by drawing policy lines in the sand. Keep it fun. Make the crew feel special. Give them a feeling that their futures are within their control.
This said, I would also recommend frequent peer code reviews - this will inspire better work, knowing that people are accountable to their peers. Also, be on the lookout for single-sourcing, and fight it off like the plague, even if it has a productivity cost. Yes, Natalie is brilliant with the middleware. But what if she gets hit by a bus, or leaves to have a kid? Defend in advance by ensuring there are others who can instantly step in and take over from her.
Again - an energised culture with a strong team spirit - a deep and powerful soul - will optimise the workplace far better than any arbitrary standards.
The Nations that have Ebola, have governments that want bribes and kicks back just so that non-profits can operate and help. Then even when they get there, more mafia style extortion occurs. Is there some way to change this behavior?
