Gartner predicts that IT staff will have fewer technical roles available to them as the cloud gains traction. That’s just not true Jack of all trades, something, something, something

me thinks this author should have used technology to proof read. Granted spellcheck would not have helped because the spelling isn't wrong, but I'm guessing its not what he meant.
Quote: IT staff who once only focused on systems in the datacenter now focus on systems in the public cloud as well. This means that while they understand how to operate the LAMP stacks in their enterprise datacenters, as well as virtualization, they also understand how to do the same things in a pubic cloud.

Today, machine learning is at the heart of many commercial applications and research projects. By introducing Datalore, we’re extending the JetBrains product family to the machine learning-specific environment in Python. Those two are always getting into hijinks

Installation has finally begun on Jeff Bezos’ 10,000-year clock, a project that the Amazon CEO has invested $42 million in (along with a hollowed-out mountain in Texas that Bezos intends for a Blue Origin spaceport), with the goal of building a mechanical clock that will run for 10 millennia. "Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin, Into the future"
I can think of better things he could do with $42MM (and not all of them involve giving it to me)

10,000 years from now:
Person A: What's that?
Person B: A clock that stopped working 9,999 years ago.
Person A: What was it for?
Person B: If we knew, we'd know the answers to the universe.
Person A: Perhaps it was just some big ego trip.
Person B: Probably.

The incentive is there for any government to ‘be Satoshi’ and invent/control Bitcoin. The prime candidate must be the US government, but potential others include Russia and China.
Does make you wonder. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

The gov't (any gov't) is too stupid and mired in politics to come up with anything as sophisticated as bitcoin and, in particular, the underlying technologies (though most of those techs existed already, yet another reason why gov't wouldn't be involved, why use existing concepts when we can spend millions of dollars of taxpayer money to re-invent the hammer?)

Yes of course it is the CIA. They also came up with this forum, to keep an eye on us.

Point is that it cannot be controlled; making the article a lot of nonsense
It is also something that is explained often and hardly a mistake if the person writing the article read anything about the subject. As is, it sounds like BS that exists to drive sentiment.

I was just agreeing with you, only giving your sentence a bit wider validity

Good post.
I actually stumbled across that article a few days ago and have been thinking about it since.
I have have been reading about our western money system. This article mentions more than a few valid talking point and it should be given serious consideration. It should not be simply shrugged off as yet another conspiracy theory.
History is the joke the living play on the dead.

It's complete nonsense; bitcoin is a lousy currency. Its innate volatility alone ensures that. Besides, it's only a matter of time before its encryption is broken (I predict within ten years) which will instantly make it completely worthless.
My own gut feeling is that it was started as a proof of concept and made popular mostly by people needing to do illicit transactions.

While that is a feat in and of itself, it's even more impressive when you consider that it was only planned to last 90 Martian days, or sols. Ready for its 28 mile checkup
You were expecting, "It keeps going, and going, and going"?

This week, however, Microsoft finally published a more complete list of the limitations of Windows 10 on ARM. And that word—limitations—is interesting. This isn’t how Windows 10 on ARM differs from Windows 10 on x86-based systems. It’s how it’s more limited. Because it's 'leg' day?
I'm not even sure I know what that means, as I do not lift. Bro.

Codenamed as “Cohorts”, it will allow Microsoft to create a group of passionate people with a common area of expertise. This way the company can easily sort the feedback accordingly. Listening to people?
