It's the New Math...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Microsoft shipped a new runtime release of the nine-year-old Entity Framework object/relational mapper (O/RM) even as it cedes mindshare to the newer, lightweight, open source and cross-platform version, Entity Framework Core. Coming soon: Entity Framework Menthol!

Recognizing surfaces and edges key to picking out distorted characters. Great, so now I can get an AI to figure out those silly numbers
And we'll need a new acronym.

An AI having a decent stab at CRAPTCHA's scribbled characters is pretty cool, I'll admit.
When an AI can unravel the mystery of which of the six images containing trees count as being images containing trees, I'll be truly impressed.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

The Linux Foundation has come up with the Community Data License Agreement, an open source licensing framework for collaborative communities to share “open” data. No lawyer needed. "Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased — thus do we refute entropy."

When a single breach can cause untold damage to your business, from millions in losses to reputational damage, operational disruption, and lost trust, you want to align your security budget with the actual threats you face. "A stitch in time, saves nine."

A security flaw in LG's smart home devices gave hackers a way to control the household appliances of millions of customers, including the ability to turn on ovens, a computer security firm revealed on Thursday. I guess it's the hackers' turn to cook then

Why in the F#$%^&*( do we need our appliances connected to a public network. It's just retarded.

It's so your oven can be updated when the scientists come up with a new temperature standard. Terrible things would happen if you cooked something at 200C, but in reality it was at 200.67C.
|
|
|
|
|
So they can be outdated faster?
|
|
|
|
|
It's not about making them outdated, it's about increasing the number and fallibility of components that will be impossible to source after the warranty period forcing you to buy a new one sooner.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Thats all I need is a backdoor on my washer and dryer so the NSA can try to catch me money laundering. Besides how smart can these appliances be if they still have to be told what to do? Call me when they invent the refrigerator that knows when I'm thirsty and brings me an ice cold beverage while I'm on the couch watching football. Would be nice if it would stand in line at the grocery store and pay for me too.

What if you could use a charm bracelet or a water bottle as your secret password? Researchers at the Florida International University and Bloomberg created a camera-based remote authentication solution to help you do just that on any mobile device. Because no one else could possibly own something similar
