They should assuage their conscience the old-fashioned way, by becoming Catholic and going to confession. Much easier than figuring out how to create jobs in your own country. And when the pitchforks pierce your vital organs, you get to go to heaven!
There advertising was OK, but they did not provide the necessary incentives to the carriers and their salespeople -- nothing like what the Android purveyors were offering. Microsoft could buy the entire markets for phones, game consoles, or whatever they want to sell, but they always seem to undermine their own investments. They spent over 7 billion on Nokia, but couldn't spend a couple hundred million to bribe some folks to sell the damn phones.
Heresy! How dare you take the focus away from the almighty Tool? You are practically taking food right out of the mouths of authors and trainers! And don't forget the psychic damage to the gurus! Why won't you think of the gurus??
Yes, please revoke the grandparent's mod points and give them to this. It seems that we have reached the bottom of the "trying too hard without any perspective" slippery slope. Maximum contrivance achieved.
Actually, you can put those advancements under the AI flag, because the now the "real" AI problems have all been moved under the AGI flag, leaving AI to be just the kind of useful tools for certain jobs that you are talking about.
I think self-driving cars are the great litmus test of how far the current "revolution" will go. In the next few years, we will see whether they will be capable of driving independently with enough competence to be lawful and insurable, or whether they continue to remain on their current plateau.
Sounds redundant. But basically true. Seriously though, there is very little substance in the latest "AI revolution", just like every other "AI revolution" in the last 70 years. The solutions still lack adequate knowledge of context and still push tricks and training depth beyond their effective limits.
Left unsaid is where those smarter workers will come from. The current answers are: a) Trained by somebody else's company, b) From a body shop which told me the worker was smart so I am not liable for his/her actual deficiencies. The answer we need is: Trained and retained by the hiring company from decent candidates which will be admitted through revisions to profoundly poor HR and Management filters.
Yes, I dispute the consensus advice, at least in the respect that I think that for "normal" people, the cures prescribed are worse than the disease. I would much rather face the risk of some damage occurring at some point rather than the certainty of damage every day from over-zealous security practices. Security fatigue is definitely setting in. I think that even business are starting to understand the cost-benefit analysis here. Perhaps security will move more towards an insurance model. Security is a hot profession now, but I suspect that will not continue indefinitely. By the way, I don't presume much about the value of my opinions. You can take what you want from them.
For any normal person (not rich, famous, or powerful), just storing hints in a document is good enough. Something like: EBay kxxxxbxxxx3xxx Where the mask character x is not precisely replacing characters. It's enough to remind me, but not enough to aid a casual attacker.
It's mediocre food, perhaps, but it's pretty dependable in my experience. If you are traveling and you just need a bathroom and something safe to eat, it fills the purpose. The beauty of frozen meat, custom-built microwave ovens and a great set of processes...
Some of us care plenty about it, are interested in new things, and will learn about them in our spare time, but we maintain more of a separation between "work" and "play". We consider "work" to be things that we do to achieve goals like economy and stability, in support of business objectives and user needs. New and cool things need to be experimented with, P.O.C.'s built, compared and critiqued, to prove they add net value, particularly for critical functionality. Being mindful of all that, it is normal to be more cautious about new things. Also, after 20 years or so, there is some fatigue from"new" things, since so many turn out to be not very new and/or short-lived. You get tired of investing in stuff that you've basically done before, or that doesn't really work, or that gets replaced just about the time you get it working well. Your particular example of VS 2015 is a case where some of us old-timers felt burned by the post-2010 UI regressions and were shy about trying the newer versions for a while. And I expect 2008r2 will be with us for quite some time yet, for similar reasons. I love to try new things, and depending on the kind of company and management I have, I will work on them during slow times and then work them into Prod service later on, if they are truly better. But when there is real work to be done, I keep my priorities straight (the customer, the business, my family, my fun), and I may not have time for "playing" with shiny things.

Very sad to see Anthony squander his talent with such a naÃve (at best) move. Navigating the world of business turned out to be a grander challenge.

Does it require one? Or can I use it to get internet on my submarine?

And a resounding one at that.
No no those cars have to be coming real soon now so I can leave the driving to them and focus on my hipsterisms.

Bah, she was "psychologist" to incredibly primitive robots by the standards of my time! Maybe she could have fixed a toaster, but that's about it.
Google"rc edf" for numerous examples. Can it scale up? It's worth a try.
Hey, I saw that movie about you -- The Omega Man. I could swear the vampires killed you off in the end...
Any story on JavaScript frameworks is a joke, on any day. Putting this story up on April Fools day is just pure genius.

Just go to Walmart and buy one -- HP Stream, etc.

Oh we'll try to stop it, but Big Solar will thwart our every attempt!

FWIW: I didn't mean it to be funny. Somebody came along later and modded it Funny, probably Mark Zuckerberg.

They're not going to give them any jobs.
