What makes a lot of us treat our solution as the best, while talking bad about other solutions? "No time for losers 'cause we are the champions"

I think in a lot of domains, not just software, there are some more-or-less objectively bad solutions; but there are almost always several good solutions, with no one of those solutions being objectively better than the others.

Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open source robotics middleware originated by Willow Garage and Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory that provides low-level device control, hardware abstraction, and other useful services. Hopefully the robots will take the BSODs well (and not start killing us in response)

Today, we're re-open-sourcing MS-DOS on GitHub. Why? Because it's much easier to find, read, and refer to MS-DOS source files if they're in a GitHub repo than in the original downloadable compressed archive file. For those still curious how the official file copy code looks
As opposed to what it does now - think for 15 minutes, *then* copy that 5k file to the destination folder. All while displaying a 85% done progress bar.

Solid lets you decide where info resides and who can use it. Yeah, what does he know about the web?
Seems to me I use that one whenever there's an article about him. My poor one track mind. Hopefully there's never a need to divert to kill five people.

What? It doesn't use a distributed hash, peer-two-peer computing, hashgraphs, merkle trees, and blockchains?
How can you talk about control, data, and the web without using the above tech???

Researchers were able to attack a common speech recognition system using voice commands hidden in other audio recordings. That explains the 40 kg bag of bird seed that just got delivered

Quote: The researchers’ only caveat is that they haven’t tried playing their doctored songs or chirping birds yet–they’ve only fed the device actual audio files. However, they’re totally confident that playing the attacks out loud will have the same effect.
... which is why they didn't do the one thing that would actually show there was anything to what they're doing.
Quote:
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?

Looks like "joking" with the company stocks is not that funny.

Yep and what is it with tweeting? They know what they tweet is permanent and accessible why do they (and by they I mean, the haves...you know who else I mean in particular) persist in tweeting sensitive info?

Seems to have got off very lightly for a pretty serious lapse of reason. Corporate regulators in other jurisdictions may have taken a much dimmer view.

Exactly - in a previous company I worked for that went public we were told a story of someone who was jailed simply for chatting with a friend over a beer about his company's future plans which led to the share price rising and his friend making money on the information.
The head of finance told us that we should not mention anything about future plans of the company to anyone outside of the company as we too could risk going to jail.
It does demonstrate that money buys influence, as I wonder what would have happened to one of his engineers if they had tweeted the same information.

Indeed. I wish I were "equal" in the ability to pay the $20 million fine.
