Quote: Face masks are breaking facial recognition algorithms, says new government study
No sh1t sherlock...
Another study wasting funds for obvious things?

Elon Musk has warned that humans risk being overtaken by artificial intelligence within the next five years. At least those humans that name their children algebraic equations
Or random glyphs from the Unicode catalog

I don't precisely like Musk, but I partially share some of his concern...
Seeing how much are we relying in the computers / software for critical things (military, health system, government stuff...) and seeing the detriment of quality over benefits...
we are surely going to have problems of some kind due to computers / algorithms / something tech-related, that's something a bit more plausible than being overtaken by an AI.
Not because we would not be overtaken by an AI, it is just that I really doubt we will have a true working AI in the next generation. But IF it comes, then when it comes... we will have very few chances.

I can't tell if he's brilliant or an idiot. I go back and forth on it.

The easy-cheesy answer is "yes".
Overall, I think he's a brilliant marketer with some good ideas, but he tends to sniff his own fumes a bit too much for his own good.

He needs to focus on this song, instead of the paranoia. It should be a theme of his, or something.

And just above this article... "Face masks are one of the best defenses against the spread of COVID-19, but their growing adoption is having a second, unintended effect: breaking facial recognition algorithms."

Me: "Puts on face mask."

The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has announced a plan to make a quantum internet it says is virtually unhackable. Why not just paint a big target on it while you're at it?
Or are they calling it unhackable with sarcasm?

Well they did say virtually.

I don't think they are using sarcasm... that would imply some intelligence and I abandoned trying to find some in the politicians some time ago 
Sarcasm would be more like...
Someone said: a plan to make a quantum internet it says is virtually unhackable.
until the next moment they look at it, then it will have a security hole bigger than the Mount Everest.

Microsoft used its recent Inspire partner event to rename the Common Data Service tools that support, manage, and work with Common Data Model entities to Dataflex Pro
MS renamed CDS to Dataflex Pro. It will get a new name soon as Dataflex is a trademark owned by DataAccess. This shows how much homework MS did in announcing this.

Microsoft publishes an “End of Service” date for each version of Windows 10. While you might think you can hold onto your version of Win10 until that date, Microsoft starts pushing you onto the next version four months early. That takes a big bite out of the promised 18-month lifespan. Because the end is always nigh
