I guess it's just a shortcoming of the algorithm!
The robot should also evaluate the urgency of the situation, and when it reaches a given threshold it should take a random (and weighted) instant decision! Instead of keeping pondering!

..and they will. It is stated in the article that it was not a "choice" being made (which requires abstractions of reality and reasoning), but a pre-programmed rule.
Hence, cars will not make moral decisions soon. Yet, I can read that they are preparing to assign "blame" in case something goes wrong with the automatic driving.
It must have been the cars decisison.

A lot of people have been saying that the Minecraft acquisition is not in line with Microsoft's core business, so why Microsoft was even interested in the acquisition is confusing.
However, Microsoft has billions of dollars in cash laying in bank accounts, waiting for inflation to ruin their value, so they have to constantly invest in something to keep their stock price from falling. We should expect them to continue to make strange investments for above-market prices until they don't have exessive cash reserves to worry about.

Microsoft's core business includes Xbox - and Minecraft is one of the most popular games - so I'd say the acquisition fints in fine with that arm of the business.
The bad news is probably that they'll stuff it up in the long term

http://venturebeat.com/2014/07/27/should-microsoft-sell-off-the-xbox-brand/[^]
That arm of the business has been considered for spin-off so that the executive team could focus less on consumer products and more on business products. Just five months ago, analysts were anticipating an end to the games-related division, but now Microsoft increases its games division with the Minecraft acquisition.
The lack of confidence in Microsoft handling the Minecraft brand is well-justified, as is the lack of confidence in Microsoft's attempts in maintaining a consistent corporate direction. However, the consequences of Microsoft sitting idly on billions in cash reserves is generally worse than the consequences of making random acquisitions for no apparent purpose, so we should continue to see interesting and puzzling moves from them for the next few years.
Maybe the next Codeproject poll should be "What random company should Microsoft buy next?"

On paper Mojang looks like a good acquisition - it has a loyal customer base, made $100,000,000 profit last year on the back of essentially a single product...
so probably not a too bad gamble, should the not stuff it up completely!
(it would be interesting if Notch now goes off and builds the next-big-thing - which is quite likely as that's exactly what he doesn't want to do!)

Salary cut draws employee ire; management calls it a 'co-investment in training'. That's... an interesting way to fund the training budget

Very interesting... let's hope it won't become popular, too.

Is anyone else refreshing Cringely[^] waiting to see how he tears into this stupidity?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Every professional C++ engineer sooner or later asks herself a question: “How do I write exception safe code?” The problem is far from trivial. Write in Python instead?
