Kent, are you the one who writes these clever one-liners?
I wrote my first post here and it was to complement the Daily News copy, and this "thick and thin" line was the impetus. ("Message closed"...prob not real relevant to anyone, me loving the Insider subheaders)
Then I found this message. So, if you the one writing these, I'm compelled to tell you you're a stone cold genius, and I thank you for countless laughs over the years.

I am to blame. Thank you for the kind words!

You should come here more often. The newsletter only gives the thread OP, but there are second posts that are worth to be read too

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?

Our original release for Flutter was focused on helping you build apps that run on iOS and Android from a single codebase. But we want to go further. Computing to help you sleep?
Oh wait, that's 'ambien'. So, it's computing without any beat or melody meant for filling the background of a hipster coffeeshop? Oh wait, that's 'ambient music'. This is hard.

Now, don't get yourself in a flutter about it!

It looks like it's designed to collect all the security flaws of all the IoT and other devices in the "ambient" into one convenient package for hackers.
That might sound like a bad idea, but it does allow google to steal a lot of personal data while everyone is distracted by scare stories about the hackers, so it has a silver lining.

Install fixes when they become available. Until then, don't sweat it. Beware of hackers with potentiometers?
I'm going out on a limb here: if hackers are in the position to try this exploit, they've already had your data for a while.

Man planned armed home invasion instead of paying $20,000 for domain name. Just get a .io, .co, or .net like normal people

Or, if "the victim" was a domain squatter, he should have just shot him.

Object recognition models have improved by leaps and bounds over the past decade, but they’ve got a long way to go where accuracy is concerned. So, you can only confirm it's a hot dog under rigorous laboratory conditions?

It's probably not the AI, but the 3D modelling algorithms in the back end.

Coroutines were added to C++20, I’m going to write an introduction to them, taking a practical approach: The least you need to know to accomplish various coroutine tasks. Your waiting is rewarded

Coroutines sound like health supplements, so I'm turned off them before I even see what they can do.

I can understand the concerns about security, but this is very thin ice and a very complicated balance is needed.
If politicians private data was valuable for hackers...
maybe they would start liking privacy, if they were massively exposed.

And you certainly shouldn't repeat, forward, repost, or quote them.

Microsoft is ready to push a full-screen warning to Windows 7 users who are still running the OS after January 14. The nag-screen payload is part of the December 10 Patch Tuesday monthly rollup. "Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!"
Consider it new wallpaper

As I said...
Instead of letting Win7 "die" with dignity after so many years of service... they are going to bloat it and fill it with crap, annoying the hell out of users in a futile try to "convince" the users to upgrade.
(and actually accomplishing the opposite, I am already downloading a couple of Linux Distros to test them)

I already know exactly what will happen to my Windows 7 PCs on January 15, 2020.
They'll be rebooted to Linux, and the windows partitions will be wiped.

Artificial intelligence has 74% hiring growth in the past four years. Other roles such as data scientist and robotics engineer are growing quickly. In case you're looking for a job to emerge
But nice that they break out their results by country/region, so you can focus on the places that matter

Turning a sketch or photo of an object into a fully realized 3D model so that it can be duplicated using a 3D printer, played in a video game, or brought to life in a movie through visual effects, requires the skills of a digital modeler working from a stack of images.
