Sometimes it feels like the line between work and video games is blurred. The story and graphics might not be comparable, but the gameplay mechanics feel like they are. For those that missed it back in the day (or that miss it now)
And if the latter, I grieve for you.

What do you mean "miss it?" I'm still using it.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

For now, security researchers who have been invited by Apple to submit high-value bugs through the program prefer to keep the bugs for themselves. "It's hard times, for an honest man"

Reuters reports that EU regulators are considering another record-breaking fine for Google over its Android operating system. More proof that Android is the new Windows
|
|

The last thing we need is more fragmentation in the Android space - it's bad enough getting manufacturers to provide security fixes already, this is likely to just make a bad situation worse.
Effectively, it will hand dominance of the market to a few vertically integrated players (or in the phone space, one fruit-based company) and screw over consumers. Naturally, when Apple then effectively becomes a monopoly, they will be next in the EU's targets.
None of this is really in the interest of consumers.

When we use our phone while walking, we employ a "cautious and exaggerated stepping strategy," Anglia Ruskin Unveristy's study shows. With that video, they knew I would post this

And in other news, dog farts smell bad. Hope they didn't spend taxpayer money for that profoundly obvious study.

Not that I'm sexist, I was looking for a particular post, but geez, googling "woman falls while texting" just comes up with so many links. Like this one.
Moral of the story -- that cautious and exaggerated stepping strategy is you fooling yourself that you're being cautious.

On Wednesday, June 21, Microsoft hosted the first ever Azure OpenDev virtual event, and I was blown away by the community support and response! The event was only made possible with the amazing support of partners such as Canonical, Red Hat, Docker, Pivotal, and Chef. OpenDev brought to life what’s possible with open source in the cloud based on experiences from our partners, customers, and community members from around the world. "Take me to the clouds above"

Wait. Aren't those all *nix makers or software where Microsoft was an "ok, we'll support them too, I guess" afterthought? And these folks are related to Azure how? "Riding the coattails of others" comes to mind.

Computer coders will face more ethical dilemmas as people's trust in technology strengthens, but one expert is shocked that IT students are not being taught to uphold morals. "What is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after."

Ethics and morals are totally different things. The only similarity they have is that no two people will agree to follow any one set of them.
|
|
|
|

Completely agree. Also ethics isn't really something you can "teach" in my opinion. I took a computer ethics course in college and the big takeaway I learned from that class is that ethics is complex. To say it's a "case by case" basis is an understatement as the smallest detail can completely change your ethical perspective of a situation.

morals are standards that define acceptable behavior
ethics are moral principles that guide or govern a person's behavior
So to say that they are two totally different things is completely incorrect.

I would say the opposite. Ethics are standards loosely defined by societal or industrial constraints usually interpreted and manipulated by your personal morality. Morals are standards defined by your personal experiences whether they be societal, religious, or other.
Ethics are ever-evolving because they are external in nature. Morals for most people are set in stone because they're personal in nature.
They intertwine but it's very possible for two people to have separate moral values and the same ethical values as well as separate ethical values and the same moral values. The lack of logical implication implies that they are separate entities regardless of whether they affect one another. My 2 cents.

You basically repeated what I just said, but in a more wordy way. Ethics and morals are intertwined because ethics are informed by morals be they societal or personal.
