At DevOps-focused London conference Continuous Lifecycle* today, Linda Rising challenged the superstition of tech professionals, a group that ought to have some affinity for science. "When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer"

And that's news?
At DevOps-focused London conference Continuous Lifecycle* today
Add to the list:
DevOps
Continuous Lifecycle
You think not? Read the definition of DevOps:
DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization's ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes.
And "continuous lifecycle" is an oxymoron. How can something that has a "lifecycle" - birth, life, death" be "continuous"? I thought most programmers didn't believe in an afterlife and reincarnation.

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?

Proof that the tech industry hasn't ever studied Santayana
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?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

A coalition of human rights and technology groups released a new declaration on machine learning standards, calling on both governments and tech companies to ensure that algorithms respect basic principles of equality and non-discrimination Because as goes Toronto, so follows the world
It is the Centre of the Universe, after all. OK, maybe just Canada.

Yes! I was playing World of Tanks the other day and I fully intended to hit my opponent, but the algorithm was unfair and denied me my desires. It fully discriminated against me. Worse, the other team WON! How unequal is that? I didn't even get a ribbon for second place.

Microsoft's twice-a-year feature updates are a greater burden on companies than the old upgrade-every-six-years pace businesses used to face, according to Gartner Research. More frequent updates cost more? Wait, what?!

What a bunch of hooey. Almost all pc in my organization of 2000+ upgraded without a hitch, nobody even noticed that it had happened.

This is Gartner, which has a rather loose relationship with reality.

Yeah, they sound like someone trying to justify their existence and why they cost so much.

A team of researchers led by a group at Google subsidiary DeepMind has developed a theory regarding how human meta-learning works by comparing it to a certain type of deep learning network on computers. I never meta learning that wasn't useful?

A nonprofit with grand ambitions of setting up a library on the Moon is planning to send the entire English archive of Wikipedia to the lunar surface sometime within the next couple of years. "I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted"

Hopefully, 4chan will do some "editing" just before the pages are sent off to the printer.
Hilarity will ensure. Trust me.

At least the librarian won't need to tell anyone to keep quiet - "In space, no one can hear you scream."

So, basically, we've got a clever - if entirely redundant - shiny new replacement for micro-fiche and we need to send it to the moon because, er, well ... no, I'm a bit lost at this point.
Who's actually paying for this?

Vulnerabilities including the bug reportedly responsible for Equifax's data breach are still common elements of open-source systems used in the enterprise. Yeah, "Boo!" open source! Let's go back to proprietary programming languages and write everything ourselves.

How about:
Blockchain based pacemaker for the elderly... each bitcoin can help pay for their medical expenses. If they overclock it they can make twice the coin!

They kept writing "powered"; as the saying goes, "powered" doesn't mean what they think it means.

At the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Brisbane, Australia, next week, roboticists from the University of Washington, in Seattle, will present RoboFly, a laser-powered insect-sized flapping wing robot that performs the first (very brief) untethered flight of a robot at such a small scale. Now the robots are coming for the jobs of the hard-working flies
