For the same reason they tend to stay away from STEM fields. STEM fields reward individual success, not team success. Women are social, individual success has less importance to them than working in a supportive team that is doing well.
Wait until el Presidente Tweetie learns of this. There will be a new Executive Order, No More Security Exploits of Government Systems, All Security Personnel Can Hence Be Given Their Walking Papers.
It will be flogged as a bid to streamline the federal government and get it out of the lives of the people he cares most about, industry sycophants who come crawling to his Oval Office with baubles and trinkets to be used for the next election.
Yes...and no. Muslims are generally well-disposed to Sharia as a political system while the other two are not well disposed to religion as a political system. I suspect the reason is the greater abuse in the other two in years past. Now that reformation has taken place in the sense that the Bible Thumpers are running the show (doesn't prevent them from trying, however), Islam is looking worse for wear.
The problem becomes apparent in the political systems of many Muslim countries and the tyranny of the majority in places like Malaysian and Indonesia. Islam as a political construct is old, creaking, and cannot keep up with the hopes of the younger generations. The problem for them is they have no real alternative "in their bones" so to speak. Their only exposure to political leadership is to their local mosque leaders who will be damned if they are gong to give up the delights of telling everyone else what to do.
It doesn't help that many societies in the Mid-East are tribal. That only gives political Islam a guaranteed divide and conquer strategy. With everyone fighting like that, no one notices the deal the central governments have with Islam, i.e., keep'em fighting and keep local politics local so the people do not notice our incompetence.
No AI was involved. It was merely an industrial machine. You wouldn't expect a roll-former or a feed-to-stop to automatically shut down because a human stuck their hand in the line EXCEPT if the cage around the machine malfunctioned and failed to detect the hand or if someone had shut the cage controls off (probably it would have been interlocked with machine so it wouldn't work if the cage was shut off) or if the cage had been removed and the interlock overrode.
What killed the worker here was simple machinery malfunction, or more likely, user stupidity in by-passing safety mechanisms.
Industrial robots do not use AI, not yet, and I doubt most would because industrial robots are intended for mindless and accurate repetition. Learning isn't applicable.
Small business owners have it pretty good as well. Just about anything qualifies as a business expense. It didn't take them long to charge everything they buy for personal use as a business expense, thus lowering their income taxes.
From Wikipedia: "IT service management (ITSM) refers to the entirety of activities – directed by policies, organized and structured in processes and supporting procedures – that are performed by an organization to plan, design, deliver, operate and control information technology (IT) services offered to customers. It is thus concerned with the implementation of IT services that meet customers' needs, and it is performed by the IT service provider through an appropriate mix of people, process and information technology."
Allow me to translate: As CEO, you are constantly confused by IT terms but recognize they are central to your organizational infrastructure. There's no grasping the extent because everything is connected somehow. So you need a term that you can use to beat your managers over the head and threaten with removal to a foreign country that might not be big on deodorant, or an outside firm who does promise they understand.
However foreign countries are filled with foreigners and you don't understand them either. Hence you find yourself inexorably drawn to a service provider who claims to understand all these things and deliver them to your company so that you don't have to. If they choose to use foreigners, that's their business, no need to worry your pretty little blown dry head over it.
You don't mind paying the provider because you don't understand what is really being provided, but then you figure it is better to pay someone outside the organization to do the job rather than pay someone inside who will only confuse you with reports and such.
Yep, it turns out I know your CIA and NSA minders. They're VERY interested in your choice of food, what you watch, etc. Those little incidentals just get them all excited.
Nope, Trump will use it to his political advantage to crack down on the CIA knowing that they know a lot about the skeletons in his closet. They'll break out and do a tap dance sooner or later. However, Trump's modus operandi is to kick the can down the road for any of his screw ups. If he can do that effectively enough, he never has to take responsibility for those screw ups. He's more or less doing time until he's dead.
Well, Rand Paul is a whacko. When he couldn't pass the med quals in Kentucky, he set up his own board with its own test and passed that. He's no paradigm of virtue.
The reason the pols go for increased Big Brother is a combination of inertia and the fear of being dis-elected. If something big happen on their watch and it is security related, they'd feel bad about having find a different line of work were the people to blame them.
And the typical Republican believes in all sorts of conspiracy theories. Trump has just welcomed in a White House visit the founder of TMZ, the big tabloid TV show. To Trump, TMZ is real news. He doesn't have the brain power or the attention span to dissect the difference between that and well researched NYT or WPost article.
How would we know these are the CIA tools and not ones the Russians released to Wikileaks and fooling them into thinking they are the CIA tools? Or that Wikileaks knows they are Russian and is simply lying?
More probably the new machines the coal operators have planned for when the Trump Gravy Train leaves the station. The coal workers will get nothing, and then get screwed out of ACA benefits by the new Republican ACA Light Plan for not working yet obstinately continue to suffer for the conditions they received from digging said coal before gas stole their lunch. They can always petition the Baby Christian in Chief but it won't do them any good.
Yeah, but that is like saying if pigs had wings, they could fly. There is no way to corral all software to run on all platforms. The underlying different systems would make such an endeavor too expensive even if it could be done. Just take the differences in file systems. There's no way different manufacturers will standardize on one simply because they have too much invested in their own.
Ah, but you say, we'll build a common abstraction. Fine, go ahead and find no one wants to use it because it doesn't do what they want. And it isn't even clear such a common abstraction is possible. And this is only one issue, there are a few dozens more forcing decisions on what features to implement, what abstractions to use, how to get agreement on those abstractions.
Libertarians would have us live in a dog-eat-dog society. They ignore the rule of law that allows them their freedom. And they'd like everyone armed to the teeth to defend their property.
They'd like everyone to have the right to be bankrupted due to medical issues. Social Security and Medicare keep Grandma off the Libertarians' front lawns. In Ayn Rand's world, airlines could allow for a certain number of plane crashes a year consistent with their profit margins due to customers deciding not to fly and employees finding alternate jobs. Smog and pollution would exist only up to a threshold number of deaths due to pollution. Mercury would not be a controlled pollutant; if you ingest too much, it be your own fault. What? You didn't know you were eating it in that seafood? How come you didn't pull out your home chemistry kit and do your own testing?
What Libertarians do not get is statistics. If you ignore statistics, then you get the every doofus for himself mentality. If you pay attention to statistics, a lot of government programs make sense.
It depends upon what success actually means. If the U.S. "succeeds" by screwing over refugees and other immigrants, can that really be called success? If American "succeeds" by trampling basic rights and freedoms, what price success?
Almost everyone on this site sees the difference between short term "success" by MBA droids, and long term success. For the U.S. to succeed, it should never be measured by short term results, those may be very dearly bought if the long term consequences are a disaster.
This is somewhat adjacent topic. A philosophy professor once told me that one should put much care in choosing syntax for a logic and its mathematical models. If the readers' main problem is hacking through your syntax, you have done him/her and yourself (when you try to read it later) a disservice.
It isn't just choice of fonts. If a subscript in one font means something and a subscript in another font means something else, then you should consider not overloading subscripts with both kinds of information...guess what problem I'm running into now in reading a logic paper.
el Presidente Tweetie's unsecured Android phone IS nothing to be concerned with. There's nothing going on from him that could be considered valuable information. You can see that by the number of times his agency heads "correct the record" after one of his TweeterGasms or quotes by the media.
Republicans in Congress have stopped paying attention to him. The press has learned not to take him seriously. He's sort of a non-president except for the damage his appointees will do.

Did this robot learn from its environment? No.

Well Golly, if you wife was able to do that, all the other people using that system must have had the same experience.

Yeah, yer right. If we could just eliminate greed, then we could eliminate technology's forward progress. What were we thinking?
Easy, the problem of life, the universe, and everything.
Getting rid of the rest of IBM's U.S. employees?
Errr...so you are saying they might coordinate a mass pork barbecue attack? Those bastards!!

The entire question is without merit.
There, there, I'm sure if you ask Mommy nicely, she'll give you cookies and milk.

No, the real policy fear is that we'll see the resurgence in Christian terrorism in designing school curricula.
Betsy deVos is the new face of Christian terrorism and directed against the people least able to defend themselves: Children.

No you wouldn't. Pence is Trump in Christian clothing...unless you believed that BS about Trump being a baby Christian.
Trump told us he knows a lot about hacking. That's why he uses his own unsecured Android phone.
