    1) They do offer that option. It is their enterprise solution.
    2) Regular users need to have auto updates because they tried letting people decide and they had old decrepit systems due to morons like you telling people to turn off auto updates.

    1) Why wouldn't a company want to make it's products available to as many people as possible?
    2) Try looking at the recent reorg. The Windows division was split up and there is no senior leadership responsible for windows (as a single product) reporting to the CEO for the first time ever. They don't care about desktop as a market anymore. They know they have to maintain it, but it is not a growth market. I would not be surprised if in 5-10 years they just maintain a Linux Subsystem for Windows and direct everyone to use their favorite Linux distro if they need more than a chromebook / ipad

    WSL is better than CigWin. You get full access to the file system via Bash (or insert any shell you like) and can install any tools you need via the package manager of the distro you setup.

    The end game is to provide access to the tools developers like to use. They don't give a shit about "marginalizing Linux on the desktop" The Desktop isn't even a market they are interested in anymore.

    The issue isn't that we rely on reputation to decide if something is truth. The issue is it is easier for charlatans to build reputation now a days.

    This is why Executives are not kings. There are parts of the business that they should not have casual access to. That is not to say they do not have a right to review and inspect with appropriate parties involved in the process, but access to data and tools like this is not the same thing as keys to the front door.

    sorry, cutting something so it looks like someone said something in a different light than what they did isn't the same thing as what is happening in technology.

    Someone could generate an entire scene that looks like the person was actually doing an event and make it sound like they said words that were never said just by using stock video footage and sound of the person.

    I could put Trump at a KKK rally and have him say that he thinks "Blacks and Mexicans should be sent to their home countries" and it will look like he actually said it and was at the rally.....Though, TBF, that probably did happen IRL.

  18. Simple answer...... on Lawmakers Worry About Rise of Fake Video Technology (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Never allow audio or video recordings of press conferences to happen.

    I think if there is no technological fix for this then we will enter an era where politicians will not speak on camera in a public setting, and maybe not even in a controlled one (depending on the technological solutions that may come to pass)

  19. Microsoft is getting rid of Cortana as you know her and she is becoming a machine learning service. Your search will not need to involve her....and she is way better than clippy reborn...but you probably hate Google Assistant too.

  20. Our VMWare farm does it just fine.

    UWP is dead. Microsoft accepted that already. PWA is coming in the spring update and UWP will be tossed in the trash.

  23. Re:May turn to them? on Hospitals May Turn To Algorithms To Fight Fatal Infections (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    You understand the challenges with accuracy for such tools in the ED setting then(both practical and political)...I can only speak for my experiences so YMMV. I have seen predictive alerts for the ED be based on whatever seems to work well for the IP part of the hospital. IMO this can lead to poor sensitivity since you are working on fewer data points than IP might expect to see....Then there is the whole fact that no one wants to potentially miss a sepsis case so the home grown tools will probably err on the side of too inclusive.

    Recently we moved away from a SIRS based tool that was used by some of our sites and our informatics team spent months reviewing data from production and making adjustments before turning the actual alerting on so that the tool would be within a range that they considered acceptably greedy.

    We use Epic as our EMR and are going to turn on their Sepsis data model that came out with the most recent version of the software and compare its results with the data from our current tool and the outcome data for awhile to see if it is at least as good (hoping for better). The functionality that their modeling tools will bring for alerting is much more flexible and maintainable than the current BPA only approach.
