It's hard to argue it's the thickest item when the iPhone 6 has to have a bump for the camera but has no bump for the audio port. It's also still the only way to hook up to many audio devices that exist outside the realm of phones and computers and which tend to have much longer lifespans and so aren't prone for immediate update to proprietary Apple ports. Things like cars, audio equipment, DJ setups, etc.
In Android land IIRC at least one phone manufacturer has shifted back.
Sure, it'll eventually go away (and I'm not going to be one to mourn it when it's time), but it does not yet have an adequate replacement.
There are also some who aren't upgrading due to the lack of an audio port on all the new models. The iPhone 6 and 6s models still work fine, and "upgrading" to refurbished ones is preferable for many to switching to something that'll require a handful of extra clunky connectors just to interface with one's car.

We know that polygraphs don't work, yet they're still being used to gauge honesty. It'd be surprising if AI were held to a higher standard for gauging attention level.
While I'm not surprised that someone's trying to do facial recognition for whales, it's not always that easy to get sight of a whale's face. There are other alternatives; check out this project that works to identify a whale by blowhole: https://hackforthesea.github.i...
Another TV series he was involved with was "Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated", in which he voiced himself. It's a pretty amusing series with quite a bit targeting adults rather than kids.
Lua isn't an issue. In fact I'd suggest that Lua serves kids today better than BASIC did in the early '80s, as it provides a better intro to modern, more maintainable programming. The modified Lua of PICO-8 also does a good job of exposing the internals of the VM underneath. Probably the only issue with PICO-8 is that it's a commercial platform that's not pre-installed anywhere except on the PocketC.H.I.P. (which is also a great little computer for kids to play with and learn from).
Actually IIRC all of the necessary conditions for the 20 hour work week predicted back in the '60s have already come to pass, but they didn't predict the vastly lopsided distribution of wealth that's currently in effect today. A more equitable distribution probably would have lead to shorter working weeks.
In general Slack's support for being members of multiple groups seems to be poor. Basically it looks like it doesn't have the concept of a single user simultaneously being members of multiple groups, and duplicates everything. It's particularly painful for 2FA.
This isn't a hard problem. Companies need to be willing to better reward their security staff so more people will be interested in getting into the field and less apt to walk.
So, they can make it illegal, methinks. It'd be stupid, but they can do it.
Sure, but what I was trying to get at is that it's an all-or-nothing sort of thing. They can make fire illegal. They can't mandate that fire only be capable of burning non-living things. She (and many other politicians who don't understand the topic) is living with the delusion that there's some safe way to make encryption work for some approved group of people only without breaking it for everyone.
She may just as well ban fire that can harm people and mandate that alcohol be only capable of affecting people who aren't minors.
Politicians seem to miss a couple of key points about encryption. The first big one is that like fire or alcohol or math, encryption exists and they can't simply make it illegal. The second point is that also like fire or alcohol or math, there's no way to limit the use or impact of encryption to certain select parties.
In addition to the true observation that not everyone with an active GitHub account is a qualified software developer, it ought to be pointed out that the promotion paths most companies have discourage developers. When people get good at it, they tend to have the option of having a stagnating salary or moving into management. Other developers move sideways to get more lucrative positions in sales-related jobs. Both of these work to pull qualified developers out of the pool. Many of these former developers still continue coding as a hobby.
So first he says that each worker will be "higher value, smarter, more productive" with phase one being "smart workers" and then he says, "I'm not that smart," doesn't that imply that his own job is right at the top of the list of jobs to be replaced?
Didn't Yahoo! do something similar shortly before tanking? It seems pretty short-sighted to make oneself less competitive at attracting technical workers in the U.S. at a time when many are predicting increased competition for U.S. technical workers.
Agreed. If you're looking at "platform", at least the C128, C128D, 64C, Sx-64, C64GS, C64DTV, and C65 all need to be included as they were all C64 compatible. Note though that the VIC-20 wasn't compatible and shouldn't be included.

Wouldn't it have made more sense for the OS/2 folks to hook up with the anti-VAXxers?
This is like a proprietary, non-distributed version of the Annotea project (circa 2001): https://www.w3.org/2001/Annote...

Alas this isn't exactly one of those games. There are lots of interactions. You'll find that some older hardware / software will struggle at points.
I think you're thinking of something else. Gameplay was pretty extensively tested, there are no levels, and there's unlikely to be a sequel.

From the description given it sounds an awful lot like a Nintendo DS, only benefiting from smaller, more expensive phone components.

This same basic argument was pointed out in Doctor Who back in '89 in "Remembrance of the Daleks".
I'd argue that the Nim language is another modern alternative to C.

Yes, that's the human in the current setup.
