Yeah. Give me a break; I'd just gotten into the office and the my caffeine load was still ramping up. 
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?

Back in June, Tesla CEO Elon Musk told CNBC that he'd invested in a company called Vicarious that is developing products and services based on artificial intelligence. But that wasn't why Musk got interested. His impetus for backing the firm was instead "to keep an eye on" unforeseen terrifying scenarios where the products began to threaten humanity. "This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."

I do not know much about cars and vehicles, but the name Tesla is familiar.
What is Elon going to do if one of the AIs "breaks loose" as he implies?
Issue another recall?

Microsoft has said it doesn't intend to bring a single operating system to all devices that can run Windows. But if it did, there would be many interface issues to overcome. They didn't mean 'one Windows', they meant 'one' Windows

Maybe after all the attempts to make one Windows, Microsoft will learn that UI should not be integral part of the OS...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Do you think the fact that eleventy-jillion people have decided that writing a How to Git article is a good idea might be saying something about gits usability or lack thereof?

The European Commission is preparing an antitrust case against Google's Android platform, sources have told Reuters. Regulators have allegedly sent questionnaires to telecom companies and phone manufacturers, trying to get a sense of whether Google is strong-arming them into promoting its own services at the expense of competitors. There must be an easier way for governments to collect money

...and yet Apple are absolutely fine, no anti-competitive practices such as vendor lock-in, or whatever, at all.

When measuring developer performance, it’s hard to find an appropriate metric to use that doesn’t rely too heavily on anecdotal evidence. I have to agree with this conclusion, "Fixing code quality leads to significant improvements in quality"
