New research raises questions about hiring algorithms and the tech companies who develop and use them: How unbiased is the automated screening process? How are the algorithms built? And by whom, toward what end, and with what data? if (recruiter-boxes.checked()==true{ hire(person.right()); }

Getting hired by a computer?
Getting fired by a computer would be even more embarrassing.

Windows 10X internally codenamed ‘Santorini’ is based on the long-rumoured Windows Core OS, a new platform that promises stripped-down and simplified modular version of Windows. So, just like Windows... but with new bugs!
And if we're lucky, a new icon

The majority of developers view security as integral to the coding and development process, but lack the support of a security expert, Whitehat Security found. Just launch it - the users will test it for security
And if they don't find the problems, *they were never there*

Security "experts" usually don't know dick about development. In my experience.

The first real internet connection happened 50 years ago—but those that sent the first messages on what would become the modern internet aren’t so pleased with their creation today. They just wanted a place to play Spacewar! multiplayer

What, like human nature isn't predictable? Are these guys new to the whole "humans are generally scum and will act like scum when given an opportunity" thing?

The cluster of Microsoft buildings 16 through 18 were the home of the Microsoft Office team for many, many years. When they moved to Building 37, all of the machines in the old build lab were powered down and moved to the new build lab in Building 37. Never underestimate the power of hardware over software
Or in this case, hardware over hardware

Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates spoke out against protectionism in technological research around topics like artificial intelligence, arguing that open systems will inevitably win out over closed ones. Because if there's one guy who knows about keeping stuff open, it's His Billness

This guy will never be taken seriously in the scientific community ever again.
He may as well look for other work, such as sweeping standing water off sidewalks, or running the machine that puts the ridges on the sides of checkers.

Cook said that privacy is a factor that must be present throughout the development process when creating new products — it's not something you can "bolt-on" after-the-fact. As a counter argument: Safari

So far, physicists have identified four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force.
But now, researchers have found new evidence for a fifth force of nature — and it could help us finally unravel the mystery of dark matter. Midichlorians?
Political opinions? (repulsive force)
Duct tape?
The force that causes there always to be a headwind when you're riding your bike?

It could be the pseudo higgs boson for a nearby superconducting strong interaction vacuum state I conjectured in the late 90th (see here[^], in could even has implications on dark energy problem, in case any one in interested to know

Researchers from Trustwave’s SpiderLabs discovered the spam emails, which come with an 'Install Latest Microsoft Windows Update now!' or 'Critical Microsoft Windows Update!’ subject line. Microsoft, of course, doesn’t send out Windows updates through email. It's bad enough we have to worry about the legitimate Windows updates

I thought Windows was hardened against this kind of crap.

A new study of artificial intelligence suggests better-paid, better-educated workers might be more impacted by automation than previously thought. Then they came for me...
Oh, wait - "Market research analysts". Bring it on!

I continue thinking that we will be in the last group to get (if we get) replaced.
And I mean real developers / good professionals as the ones one can find here in CP.
Codemonkeys and sub-standard QA-Enquirers... those are another thing.

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?

IT operations teams and security teams within a company don’t communicate as well as they could, which makes the entire organisation more vulnerable to cyber-threats than it should be. "Why can't we all just get along?"
