Most employees want to keep their jobs and their clients. They don’t have the leverage or control they want over their own careers. "You gotta fight. For your right. To party."

Excellent article 
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

I will fight anyone anyway, despite needing the job like anybody else. The last Company got the short end of the stick: after years of Don Quichotting against them I lost all the enthusiasm and left them at the first chance.
They do love their VB6 and single-thread architecture... I don't.

Tech companies used to be all about self-regulation, but now, like a kid wanting to be grounded because he just can’t keep his hand out of the cookie jar, the industry is beginning to call for federal regulation. Stop me before I ship again!

Of course they do because they can afford it and shut out competitors.

Microsoft is releasing its Windows 10 May 2019 Update to everyone today. Don't everyone rush and download it right away
Although if someone would find the bugs before I get there, that would be nice. Please and thank you.

Hey now. Microsoft products don't have bugs, they create features that nobody wants. Features like Microsoft Vista, Windows 8, Window ME. They are still cutting edge too, they had "open security" before Facebook made it cool to have your info easily stolen.

The kilogram is the last unit of measurement to be untethered from an artificial object. *Excluding the US, Liberia, and Burma
Yes, it's changed there also. They just don't care as much.

The pound is actually defined as 0.45359237 kg. Most Imperial units are now defined in terms of metric.

That... makes no sense. Which I suppose makes complete sense in this case. 
People and their units. /sigh.

The author of the article wrote:
Most of the people who will notice the difference between Le Grand K and the new kilo will be scientists who deal with hyper-precise measurements, such as pharmacologists who must dole out exact doses of medications
This is obviously nonsense. Up to the new definition of the kg the mass was known to an accuracy of 50 microgram, that's only 0.05 millionths. Who cares if he/she gets an overdose of even one millionth
He also writes "The kilogram is now equal to the weight of 1.4755214 x 1040 photons with frequencies matching a cesium atomic clock." That's not a very large number of photons, about 1500. There's a symbol missing

Given that some phamaceuticals are effective in dosages measured in micrograms, I really don't think your summary works here.
For example, LSD-25 can make you hallucinate with approx 60 microgram dosage.

The article and my comment related to the accuracy of the measurement, not to the amount.
Up to the change in definition the mass of the standard kilogram was known with an accuracy of about 50 µg (0.05ppm).
The usual LSD dose is 50-100 µg, one doesn't need the above accuracy for the dosage
PS As a chemistry student some one asked me in the student union bar if I could synthesise LSD. The answer was yes, but even in those days you were reported to the police if you ordered the starting materials

We’re releasing today the Free Wolfram Engine for Developers. It’s a full engine for the Wolfram Language, that can be deployed on any system—and called from programs, languages, web servers, or anything. "So baby can't you see, I've got to break free"

Quote: There are now altogether 5000+ functions in the language, covering everything from visualization to machine learning, numerics, image computation, geometry, higher math and natural language understanding—as well as lots of areas of real-world knowledge (geo, medical, cultural, engineering, scientific, etc.).

[^]Quote: “If you find yourself spending more time fighting than getting to work, stop and ask yourself, ‘Who benefits from all the chaos?'” Cook said. “There are some who would like to believe that the only way you can be strong is by bulldozing those who disagree with you… We forget sometimes that our pre-exiting beliefs have their own force of gravity. Today, certain algorithms pull toward you things that you already know, believe or like. And they push away everything else. Push back! It shouldn’t be this way.”
So, it's not the elbows of pedestrians immersed in smart-phone selfie-land that are pushing me ... it's the algorithms.
I'm just going to have to stop bubble-sorting late at night.
