In the old days we had some really awful JS being written on pages in a pretty ad-hoc fashion and it caused us huge problems. Full of passion and curses, but is there truth?

It's the old meme!
Before I had a problem, now I have a problem factory! 
Seriously, I suffer from these enterprisey people in my project too, they want all of us to add complexity for the sake of complexity (not for the sake of solving any particular problem)... Ho well fighting the good fight! ^^

The company’s founders say that the Moves crew will join Facebook’s team to “work on building and improving their products and services” and that the Moves app will continue to operate on its own as a standalone experience.
What's App, Oculus and Moves? Facebook is on a shopping spree

The official joke any time robots or artificial intelligence comes up online is “Skynet.” We all have a laugh about the robot apocalypse, then it’s back to dreaming of robotic housekeepers. We have to destroy the arm and CPU

The author is terribly anthropomorphic...
First and foremost survival instinct is not an unavoidable necessity at all.
Let's give one striking example!
An autonomous intelligent missile with survival instinct will be poor design and won't happen!

We evaluated nearly 20 nominees and ultimately chose seven finalists, which we then looked at in great depth. The vote tally ranked the top six products as follows: three finalists, two runners up who are awarded the Jolt Productivity Award, and finally, the winner of the Jolt Award for best programmer library released during the last 12 months. Sorry, not complete. CListCtrl is not here.

In the developed world, even the most passionate technology proponents sometimes find themselves wondering if being constantly "plugged in" means leading a less fulfilling existence. The verdict is still out on that one. But for most of the world, the relationship between happiness and technology is highly positive. "Anyone who has studied psychology, sociology, anthropology, or any of the other wacko-and-wog disciplines knows the three great rules of the social sciences: Folks do lots of things. We don't know why. Test on Friday."

After a month-long investigation into allegations of sexual harassment at GitHub, the company’s CEO Chris Wanstrath announced that cofounder Tom Preston-Werner has resigned. Preston-Werner and his wife Theresa were under scrutiny for sexual and gender-based harassment, and for creating a sexist and hostile work environment. The investigation didn't find any legal wrongdoing, but he stepped down anyway....sounds like there is more to this story

Maybe, maybe not. It seems these days everyone steps down even if they are innocent.

Until now, the only images you could see on Google Maps were the latest images. Starting today, however, you will also be able to go back in time and see older images. "I would definitely go back. Everything cool is gone. The Aztecs. People killing themselves for each other."
