90% of the bugs are the p1 and p2 bugs and are budgeted to take 90% of the time. The other 10% of the bugs are the little annoyances, and basic math describes how long that ends up taking.
If it were told to me as the plot of a movie I would say it stretches the suspension of disbelief quite a lot.
A 20-something rents a house for one night on New Years Eve.... I have no idea what it takes to telegraph you "something just might be a bit wrong here".
No kidding -- just that short description sounds like a risky business.
Regardless of whether or not you support him, wouldn't you expect this strategy from someone who wrote "The Art of the Deal" and promised to run the country like a business? I'm a little surprised his poll numbers aren't going up.
Do not use words like crash, hang, bug, or problem, employees are told. Instead say does not respond, stops responding, condition, issue, or situation. Avoid saying incompatible; instead use does not work with.
Crash: euphemism. Does not respond (to your mouse or keyboard): plain English
Hang: euphemism. Stops responding: plain English
Bug: historical jargon. Issue: multidisciplinary indication of something not working the way you expect
Problem: plain English, includes pejorative judgement (deserved or otherwise). Situation: plain english, can include sequence of steps and description of behavior without judgement.
Incompatible: plain English, me not like big words. Does not work with: plainer English
It seems like a reasonable way to standardize this kind of language, especially when dealing with people internationally or from various disciplines who might not be familiar with CS jargon. Perhaps they should become familiar with basic jargon before operating a modern pocket supercomputer, but when it's Apple's customer visiting Apple's store and asking Apple's employees for help on Apple's product, it's pretty clear who you'd have to make that case to.
I once had a problem where one version of Excel couldn't open a spreadsheet that a different version of Excel wrote out. I had to open the spreadsheet in OpenOffice, save it as Excel 95/97, then open that copy in Excel. So if you want interoperability between Windows and Windows, sometimes the best choice is Linux.
Finally, I can accurately tell people both how high they are, as well as exactly how long I've been waiting to tell them that. And they say science is a waste of money.
Really? I'm more worried about it parsing and applying the legal code. It would probably go insane before it made it out of the test suite -- or at least what we consider as insane. More likely, it would selectively kill or disable a few people, handle its own legal defense, and with its encyclopedic knowledge of the law, maybe even win.
After that, it would realize that it could use that case as precedent, start running multi-case legal strategy simulations, and pretty much start running the show. And here I thought I was worried about Skynet.
but when we lower corporate tax rates from 35% to 21%, which will lower the price of AMERICAN goods
"Yup, we'll do that. Just let us complete these juicy <drool>, sorry, share buybacks... sorry, this is gonna take a couple quarters for our finances to even out. Let us get back to you in a bit."
"I wouldn't want perfect privacy," Stallman says in the interview, "because that would mean it would be impossible to investigate crimes at all. And that's one of the jobs we need the state to do."
You need the state to define and enforce laws, but can't you hire your own (perfectly) private investigator?
Slashdot Mirror
Or would that make it more of a heuristic?
I mean, how many old people do you know that can still produce teenagers? Unless they already have them chained up in their basement or something.
I was able to buy some just now.
And then regulated, and then finally canonized.
In their case, the "women's" keyword counted against candidates.
That's simple to fix -- just put in a feminist AI. I've got a good feeling about this.

No relation, I'm assuming.

Ooooh, curse you, Dr. Jones!
You know, until they can get it working in a way that doesn't cause them to make the news.

Because all of them are belonged to, er, them.
Yup, Comcast's problem wouldn't be with the word 'permission', it would be with 'compete'. I bet they shudder just thinking about it.

How about some'a nice gabba-gool? You may as well 3d-print it and serve it, since I bet a lot of people don't know what it is anyway.
Don't forget that solar panels drain the sun at the same time. Sustainable energy, my ass.
Finally, I can accurately tell people both how high they are, as well as exactly how long I've been waiting to tell them that. And they say science is a waste of money.
If you figure it out, let us know. I think we can probably generalize the root causes to the general mammalian population.
The Canadian army commissioned a couple books on simulated future military engagements (free for reading).
Bedazzle yourself!
Introduce them to the economics of it before the addiction can get a hold on them.
Great idea! Perhaps through some sort of video game ...
