If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Bingo.
The number of idiots I know who have installed Messenger, and thus, given my phone number to Farcebook is truly horrifying.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

With 3.2 billion leaked passwords from multiple databases, this attack has been dubbed RockYou2021. Wait until tomorrow, we'll probably have a new-new record

Minimal APIs allow you to build APIs without the overhead of the complicated MVC solution. Read more to understand how it all works, and what it means for building APIs in ASP.NET Core. "No drama, no more in my life"

You mean, just handle HTTP requests directly without all the overhead of pipelines, services, controllers, and all that other kruft? Like wow man, blast from the past! And probably nobody younger than 40 know how to do that.

Many leaders were cold and impersonal during the pandemic, a new report suggests. "So, if you could do that, that would be great..."

To be honest... I prefer impersonal over incompetent jerks.
and I am not complaining, my current situation is way better than it was some time ago

C++20 adds a new text formatting facility to the standard library, designed primarily to replace snprintf and friends with a fast and type safe interface. printf ought to be enough for everyone

Microsoft may have mistakenly leaked that the upcoming next generation of Windows 10 will move away from its current naming scheme and switch to a macOS scheme using geographic locations or development names. Because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows?
It couldn't just be that people are reading too much into errant metadata on a web page, could it?

After copying Chrome basing Edge in Chromium, they could have copied inspired themselves in google's naming scheme... at least it would have been sweeter.

Cross-protocol attacks could potentially steal login cookies or execute malicious code. This hack could have been an email?

Hmmmm,
Maybe this is a good time to let you know that the paragraph below is referring to sites like codeproject that utilizes free TLS services.
The scenario isn't as farfetched as some people might think. New research, in fact, found that roughly 14.4 million webservers use a domain name that's compatible with the cryptographic credential of either an email or FTP server belonging to the same organization. It's a simple and easy to understand concept:
Step 1.) Observe that codeproject is transparently using https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/[^]
Step 2.) Observe that the site certificate 'Subject Alternative Names' field contains *.freetls.fastly.net and *.global.ssl.fastly.net
Step 3.) Setup your free TLS account over at Fastly[^]. e.g. your.name.for.example.global.ssl.fastly.net
Step 4.) Observe that because the TLS negotiation checks for the match '*.global.ssl.fastly.net' that you can substitute site resources from your.name.for.example.global.ssl.fastly.net without a certificate warning.
The next steps might require an existing vertical position on the target (or destination) networks. A successful attack would result in running any javascript of your choice inside the target browser.

Humans expect that AI is benevolent and trustworthy. A new study reveals that at the same time humans are unwilling to cooperate and compromise with machines. They even exploit them. "Your cheatin' heart will tell on you"

Switch statements are mostly trustworthy, are they not?
Not if you forgot default! Nerd zing!

In America Republicans can't get along with Democrats, and Democrats can't get along with Republicans. And this fool concludes that we are ready for benevolent AI??? Inconceivable!
Sorry for the 'close-to-politics' response.

Well, maybe hatred of the local "benevolent AI" will be nonpartisan. 
EDIT: I'm not holding my breath.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

And exactly how is this different from how many people treat benevolent humans?
