The point I find shocking is not the "massive data leak". It is the dystopian world where everyone needs to know about others' location in real time.

RedMonk's lastet programming language popularity report singles out TypeScript as a big mover among an otherwise fairly static ranking of the usual leaders. Who knew people like data types?

MIT researchers describe an NAS algorithm that can directly learn specialized convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for target hardware platforms—when run on a massive image dataset—in only 200 GPU hours, which could enable far broader use of these types of algorithms. Is our AI learning?

I just checked out the share price of Medtronic and I am amazed that it has not plummeted!
I would have thought that this sort of issue would bring a company down overnight.

A consumer spyware vendor left a lot of incredibly sensitive and private data, including intimate pictures and private call recordings, for all to see on a server freely accessible over the internet. And it still hasn’t taken the data down. But...you just did?!
And now I did. O.o

The topic of the article is a big face palm.
But on a side note... I don't know what is more worrying, that a company earns money with that, or that so many people buy / use it.

Key Takeaways
Complexity is the greatest impediment to a software company’s growth and profitability.
Development costs increase exponentially with respect to the complexity of your code base.
The choice between speed and simplicity is a false dichotomy. Investment in simplicity is investment in speed.
Few executives recognize the cost of complexity because they don’t understand the nature of the products they’re selling.
Software is a product like no other — a hybrid product-service with a very unique warranty.
Complexity is a characteristic of your company’s source code. It’s usually the consequence of several failings. "Simplicity is the most deceitful mistress that ever betrayed man."

Stupidity is the greatest impediment to a software company’s growth and profitability.
Development costs increase exponentially with respect to the the number of untrained people you hire.
The choice between speed and simplicity ignores the fact that both simplicity and speed sacrifice future maintainability.
Few executives recognize the cost of complexity because they don’t understand the nature of anything.
Software is a product like no other — you know you're buying something that's broken when you buy it
Complexity is a characteristic of your company’s source code. It’s usually the consequence of several failings: stupidity, speed, and simplicity

I like it, but in most of those statements shouldn't you replace simplicity with complexity.
Although, simplicity for simplicity's sake can be a problem. Often complex problems require complex solutions.
Anyway, be as simple as possible, but no simpler, and be only as complex as necessary but no more complex.
Or even: go be a gardener.

Computers, like those that power self-driving cars, can be tricked into mistaking random scribbles for trains, fences and even school buses. People aren't supposed to be able to see how those images trip up computers but in a new study, researchers show most people actually can. "You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior. Please explain!"

Misleading article title and silly study. In short, people are smart enough to outwit a computer with minimal instructions. Even shorter, AI is bullshit.
