Astronomy organization votes to acknowledge the work of Georges Lemaître in the discovery of the Universe’s expansion — but some doubt whether the change will stick. The announcement was a Big Bang

Children learn language by observing their environment, listening to the people around them, and connecting the dots between what they see and hear. "Kwaba, kwaba kitty kitty"

So what this means is that, when it comes to written text, more than 60% of machines will also be practically illiterate.

Google first launched its bot-detection reCAPTCHA system in 2007, which means that for over 10 years we've been deciphering garbled text, identifying street lights and clicking tiny boxes in a bid to prove we're human and subsequently access the sites and pages we want to view. It just needs to put on those sunglasses

Damned straight.
But what's annoying is that with the current recapture monstrosity, I just close pages that present them to me. This new one will be transparent to site visitors.

I would hope that no bank web-site used log-in security from a data-slurping company like google.
I'd certainly move my accounts from one that did.

So google wants us to include a script on our sites that monitors everything users do on those sites, everything they click on, hover over, select, scroll, type etc and all that data is sent back to googles servers just so we don't need captchas.
What could possibly go wrong?

So google has set aside an immense amount of space on new database servers, to store "behavior" of visitors to web-sites, as a way to avoid privacy laws.
They're such lovely people. I'm so glad that google is my friend.

A security researcher has demonstrated how he could hide the Complete Works of Shakespeare into an image and use Twitter to distribute it using Steganography. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!"
Which isn't actually Shakespeare, but whatevs.

Ya know, we don't have to go along with this crap. As developers, we an just say no to pointless changes in our frameworks.
I see no value in crossing the streams where desktop and mobile apps are concerned. All MS is trying to do is to lock apps down to their "store", and hamstring developers like Apple has.

Microsoft is shifting its Windows 10 codename scheme, yet again, starting with the feature update which is slated to follow '19H1,' sources say. A toxic metal, often used to make things hard. Good choice.

However, it's yet more proof that Windows phones are the best -- once you open windows, the helium all goes to play outside.

That was one of the best technical articles I've read in a long time.
The researcher did such a great job of tracking down the issue and explaining it clearly.
And, it was fascinating to learn how helium affects the oscillators. Wow!!
