If so, perhaps those managers and recruiters could actual post their jobs. (Since January, I've seen a huge drop in software developer job postings [and in recruiter cold calls].)

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella today shared his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence. Since there is a lot of talk about whether A.I. is a good thing or a bad thing these days, he wrote that that we should build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences. Clippy shot first

Are we absolutely sure it was written by him, not some AI that has taken over Redmond?

We have a lot of intelligence with human abilities - maybe too much. Now it is time to create intelligence without it, and use it where speed and precision are important...

Microsoft published a blog post earlier today that included only a headline, "Microsoft announces Windows 10 Anniversary Update available Aug. 2," and then pulled the story moments later. Maybe. Possibly. Still, probably best to avoid the Tech Support folk around then

Just a note on that.
Beer at that time was probably more a heavy gruel with some sort of fermentation than a IPA or Lager (or whatever beer you drink) that we see today.
I'd rather be phishing!

As long as it's not Bud/Coors. :P

That would be Light™ gruel with some sort of fermentation attached to it.

Physicists have confirmed the existence of a new form of atomic nuclei, and the fact that it’s not symmetrical challenges the fundamental theories of physics that explain our Universe. Quick, someone call the Doctor!

Oh, I'm not fat then, I'm a big atomic nucleus!

Windows chief Terry Myerson, in a statement to The Verge. "We've been working hard to incorporate their feedback and this week, we'll roll out a new upgrade experience with clear options to upgrade now, schedule a time, or decline the free offer."
I'm guessing this'll roll out with next months patch Tuesday; just a few short weeks before the offer finally goes away. Assuming they don't run into problems and have to split the release date for the another month.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Nothing like a $10.000 slap on the nose!

I refuse the update to W10 and the decline option. I'd rather get $10k options.

By 'their', I'm assuming Terry meant 'the court's', and not the customers.
