But Mr Turnbull said Australian law would prevail over the laws of mathematics.
He told journalists: "The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia."

Skeet's knows his limitations where the general public or his colleagues are unaware; they see him as a programming guru. I don't think of him as an imposter, but humble and someone that works hard to carry his mantle. He probably sees himself as not good enough and continues to improve; which is what has made him successful.
I've worked with many people who mimic things other people say, use buzzwords that don't make sense, and continually try to promote themselves on anything they've accomplished. To me, these people are the true imposters and I'll take the humble person over them any day of the week.

Hmpf, me thought "Impostor Syndrome" was someone pretending to be something they know they're not, not fear of being less than they really are. But, I guess what I'm talking about is more akin to narcissism. Which pretty much describes RD.

Cats are some of the most photogenic animals on the planet, except for when those photos are generated by artificial intelligences. Then, the cute and cuddly creatures become creepy, nightmare cats. OK, this is how you stop AI from taking over the world - get them addicted to cats (next up: cat videos)

So we're back to having cats take over the world? Or are they just taking steps to consolidate their power?

Forget what you know about how faster development increases risk. If your approach to security is slowing you down, it’s only a question of which you’ll lose faster — your data or your customers. Yeah, don't bother with that security stuff

Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Nicholas Bloom says requiring employees to be in the office is an outdated work tradition, set up during the Industrial Revolution. That commute though? Brutal.

In the rest of this talk, I'm going to explain our goals for Go 2; our constraints and limitations; the overall process; the importance of writing about our experiences using Go, especially as they relate to problems we might try to solve; the possible kinds of solutions; how we will deliver Go 2; and how all of you can help. How could he miss the opportunity for a goto there?

On the downside, it turns over all your personal data to mega corporations, who then leak it to criminals within two years.
But on the good side, it makes your IT environment more complex and difficult to manage!
