It's cute the way that they open the article on the ms blog site, but then continue it in linkedin -- once again, using a third party to do the data slurping, to provide themselves with a scapegoat, when the privacy sh1t hits the fan.
[note to self: add ms blog site alongside e-mails and ms-office docs in the list of places where not to click links]

Total bullsh1t, they don't learn anything... they just make it worse (at least in some important aspects).

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?

Shouldn't number 1 be: lack of proper testing?

Researchers at the University of Wollongong, Deakin University, Monash University and Kyushu University have developed a framework that could be used to build a smart, AI-powered agile project management assistant I think I just filled my buzzword bingo card

|
In many of the places I've worked, any kind of intelligence in project management would make a welcome change.

We keep you accountable. You get stuff done. Is it done yet? How about now? Now?

There are a lot of different ways to track email, and different techniques can lie anywhere on the spectrum from marginally acceptable to atrocious. "No such number, no such zone."
|
|
|
|
|
So, the thousands of words of waffle boil down to two ways "to protect yourself from email tracking":
0. Open e-mails as plain-text only.
1. Don't click links in e-mails.
I believe I've given the same advice, time and time again, in 25 words or less.
In fact, I just did so again, above.

Not even a little bit -- they weren't broken (they've just had thousands of unnecessary words added to the instructions, apparently).

The US government shutdown is making many official websites harder to access and potentially leaving users more vulnerable, tech experts are warning. Well, it is a 'shutdown', isn't it?
|
|
|
|
|
Twitter's still working, though, so all the important government work is still getting done.

Security researchers have been warning about a simple technique that cybercriminals and email scammers are already being using in the wild to bypass security features of Microsoft Office 365, including Safe Links, which are originally designed to protect users from malware and phishing attacks. Hacking between the lines
Still, kudos to them for a clever idea. And cleavers to them for doing it.

|
|
|
|
Golly.
That should take, oh, at least four minutes to fix.
Not that it should need to be, because no-one could possibly be so frugging stupid as to click links in e-mails or open ms office docs from unknown sources.

Against stupidity the Gods themselves struggle in vain.
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?

New rule narrows landmark 2014 Supreme Court decision limiting software patents. Oh, how I wish I had patented 'bad ideas'
|
|

Does this mean that I can finally patent the process of sending out untested software updates?
And how much money does ms have? I need to set an appropriate figure.

Sorry, there is way too much prior "art" to grant that application.
