Except "collusion" doesn't mean what the "researchers" think it means. Instead, the identical algorithms came to an identical optimal solution. Big surprise.

Exactly.
It's common knowledge that the most profit is made by collusion between companies, resulting in the illegal version of "price fixing" -- it is the single most effective way of swindling customers.
WTF did the AI trainers expect the AIs to learn?
It's bad enough that AIs can go off and work things out in wrong ways (which can go unnoticed for a long time, as long as the results are within parameters), but if we allow fidiots to feed the AIs, really bad things could result from it.

At Build developer conference last year, Microsoft announced that they will be introducing a new Windows class that will allow developers to easily include multiple windows support in their UWP apps. After some delay, Microsoft has now finally released this support for developers. Progress is a heckofa drug
I can't wait for all the popups to start appearing (again).

One developer let out a loud cheer. The other two just yawned.

Golly Gosh!
Just think what a dream it would be if they ever came up with a way of working with everything in its own window, which can be moved around, minimised, and even maximised (that's maximised as in what their previous Great New Advancement, UWP, introduced).
Since they will obviously be really busy working on an icon for that great, new system, we should think of a name for it!
How about "XP"?
Or "'95"?
Or just "3", or "7"?
The future will be so Great, once they've figured out how to used windows!

A popular note on the Linux Kernel Mailing List claims that a program's author can block people from using his code at his discretion. Wrong. "No backsies!"

I'm not convinced and until it's tested in court, nobody should be.

Ponemon says that a third of companies do not believe they could fend off a data-stealing cyberattack in 2019. Look to your right. Look to your left. Now duck.

WTF do they care?
It's been shown that proper spin on the way you handle a data breach means that it won't affect your bottom line, so who amongst the CEOs and CFOs gives a f***?

This is awful on so many levels.
how confident are you that your organization can avoid a data breach:
Very confident: 10%
Confident: 23%
Somewhat Confident: 23%
Not confident: 44%
At a minimum that reduces to roughly 1 in 2 companies can't protect themselves from a breach. But I think it's more likely the headline reader misunderstood the data (or the chart creator got it backwards), and based on the survey data it should read "Only One in Three Enterprises can Protect Themselves from Data Breaches".
OTOH I suspect what the data really shows is that 56% of companies are in denial about their risk of being breached. 
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?

NASA is finally saying goodbye to its Opportunity rover on Mars after spending nearly a year trying to reestablish communication with the silent robot. It's a lost Opportunity T_T

Only eight months?
Give it a chance, guys!
I've known devs who've been incommunicado for over a year, but they were still making commits and drawing their salaries, so I just let them get on with it.

Slack today made its Block Kit tool for building more visually appealing apps generally available. The Slack App Directory currently has more than 1,500 apps, and the Slack Platform for the creation of apps and automated bots dates back to 2015. I bet this would come in handy if anyone had a contest to build a Slack app

Good article.
If you haven't been much involved in hiring, bookmark it and read it before talking to HR about finding people.
