They could save even more money by just cancelling services immediately upon getting a name for them. The best part is they could make outlandish claims about it.
For example:
Google Apex was unbelievably sophisticated. So much so, users couldn't understand it's brilliance and so we've regretfully cancelled it.
(What did it do? We can't describe it since you wouldn't understand, now give us more money for advertisements.)

Its Brilliant course shows how to write quantum code. A is for Atom, holding your state. B is for Boson, not a lightweight...
C is for Classical, old style of logic gate. D is for Down, a measure of spin state.

I wonder how many programming languages would let you replace " and" with a comma.
I wouldn't use one that did, and I don't read articles that mutilate the English language in the same way.

Meh. They are obviously behind the times. The next big thing will be machine learning taken to the next level: the seed set will be all the FB emojis.
Of course this will start SkyNet, and be the reason the Terminators want to take us out. Our own stupidity.

And what does quantum computer programming allow you to do?

I've always found it curious how people and organisations that have have words like "ethical" in their "public names" are those that you can trust the least.
I'm sure that anyone who has bought a car from "Honest Al" would share that curiosity.
It's like organisations with "Democratic" in their title are almost always totalitarian, and those with "Christian" are exclusively dominated by criminal organisations that make their money through drugs and prostitution.
I think I'd be making the right choice by voting for the party that calls itself "The Useless Sh1thead @rsehole Party"

In reality, yes, but if one of them admitted to it, at least I'd know that I could trust them to tell me the truth.

A few months ago it dawned on me that I didn’t really understand how computers work under the hood. I still don’t understand how modern computers work. And now you do

The scary thing is that, forty years ago, we could have done this in our sleep -- if we'd had the programming technology to do it.

Our 2019 compilation of research and stories explains what’s key to a healthier internet across five issues, from personal experience to global concerns. Just a bit of hacking and post-network drip

Is this an article or a deconstructed powerpoint slideshow?
Either way, it's not worth the effort of clicking through to it.
Anyway, you can tell how healthy the Internet is by the number of bruises sustained by cats falling off tables.

Judging by the number of aggregation "articles" that appear these days, I'd say it's about as healthy as a dead donkey with cholera.

I had exams at 11, 14 and 18 - No big deal there, it is a great learning occasion. Those who follow professionalizing schools get an additional exam at 16... No brain damage has ever occurred from an exam.

But school systems receive government subsidies based on how the students perform on the standardized exams, which means teachers are compelled to "teach to the exam", which means students aren't getting the more comprehensive educations they used to get.
The intent was sound (making sure students are getting "appropriate" level of instruction), but the schools systems are gaming that intent to get more money.

This is the situation now in Italy with the INVALSI tests. When I went to school the system was different, there is and always has been a ministerial teaching program with mandatory and optional topics year per year.
The tests were ministerial but tailored to each class, so that if for reasons some part of the program were not touched they were not asked in the exam. There was no graduatory, only a grade (the grade system changed too many times to be worthy of mention, usually 5 votes with 1 not-pass and 4 passes).
In my opinion they were great experiences: subject kids to stress, have them work hard for something and then they pass. It teaches stress and time management from an early age.

So wait until people are 99 or older, when their brains can't absorb knowledge.
That'll learn 'em!
Her entire argument points to the very obvious fact that her conclusions are completely and utterly erroneous.
