Does Mr. Matley expect the government to anticipate the next fad and outlaw it just because? Maybe the government should have outlawed Segways, they were supposed to be game changers.
TFA lists a few big failures. But in isolation that list doesn't mean anything. Are we getting better or worse at implementing big projects? How many multi-million dollar projects were completed successfully versus failed? Humans are not perfect so there will always be failed projects, but there have also been many, many successful ones in the past decade.
Suggests that management hubris plays a big part in IT Failures.
I think it's a combination of hubris and naiveté. Management and architects look at legacy systems and think all the complexity is unnecessary - that they can implement a "modern" system with the methodology that is in vogue (OOA/OOD, SOA, whatever). Anyone who tries to point out that the complexity is there for a reason is branded a naysayer and ignored. Years later management and architects are still struggling to deal with all the complexities they didn't want to see at the beginning, then the money runs out.
They are running a rules engine, and storing inferred facts in a central repository. Seems like a reasonable thing to do, but I really don't understand what the "milestone" is.
As I read the article the accident was caused by a screw up in communications by the contractor doing the work. They tried to blame it on the data center pressuring them, but the judge apparently didn't accept that argument and fined the contractor. It seems submitter is looking for evil where there is really just incompetence.
Noticeably missing from that list are some of the bigger civil rights organizations like NAACP. It looks like mostly feminist SJWs tilting at windmills again.
The article says "revenue growth rate" has doubled. That could mean anything, especially if their revenue growth rate was minuscule before. Without knowing what their growth and growth rate was before the statement means nothing.
It also says "profit" has doubled. Maybe, but I find really hard to believe that a company's "profit" has doubled in six months - especially when they didn't even say what was meant by profit.
That's redundant. Vox is just the old left wing Daily Kos blog, rebranded to try and find a new audience. Everything there should be considered an opinion piece.
In the video I saw, the narrator does a lot of hand waving and start/stopping, but you can see that the drone was hovering over the guy's pool for at least 30 seconds. Also, he doesn't start showing the telemetry when he takes off, only about 30 seconds into the flight - so you have no idea what the altitude reading was when it was on the ground. In other words, the operator's video and telemetry that he made public shows all the signs of deliberate deception..
Instead of getting snarky, why don't you do a bit of research? Google is your friend.
Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger and stock manipulator. President Roosevelt appointed him chairman of the Securities Exchange Commission to crack down on stock cheats because Kennedy knew all about cheating.
Now look at the context in which GP's post appears - former gang members becoming accountants? Sure, it worked for Kennedy.

Greenland Ice Sheet Not Covered In Soot
Somehow read that as "Not Covered in Snot".

But there are no current plans to sunset it.
Or, maybe European politicians are just sharply divided over the issue.
That seems far more likely to me. They aren't shy about criticizing the US for pretty much everything else.
Bolden is saying "Don't do what we did".

It's just apple being apple.
More like Apple being Microsoft. Same thing I suppose.

Yes, every car is built to spec. Most are built to a dealer's spec and sold off the showroom floor, but you can order one yourself.
Go to a store and accept the price on the sticker? No difference than going to a dealer and accepting their price.
When the loan is in default, the debt is owed to the government.
GP thought the jets were trying to mate with it.
we've based our entire quality of life on a social contract between employer and employee
Wrong.
We've based our quality of life on the freedom to choose where our income comes from. Don't like your employer? Find a better one.
Try reading the article. The entire opinion piece is that diesel and gasoline powered vehicles should be banned.
unless such call is made solely to collect a debt owed to or guaranteed by the United States
This amendment only effects collection of debts owed to the US Government. Normal credit card, car loans, etc don't get the exemption.
Bottom line is: If you are having trouble paying back a loan, talk to the lender. The absolute worst thing to do is trying to avoid them.

Give all the inmates shotguns so they can shoot those pesky drones down.
They must be *really* fat if they're taking up both 2nd and 3rd place.
According to TFA is was worth "maybe $15,000 to $25,000,"
