But the year is only 3.14 days long. How much would you get done in a year?

"Earth" being used loosely.
Methane rain is not exactly habitable. Not even asking if it has a moon or magnetic core.
Life may be more precious than we realize; the Drake equation is missing some variables. We may be the first life.
And there's still no proof that intelligent life exists in the observable universe. We certainly never observed it. And we observe a lot.

Maybe because we only look for intelligent life based on what our definition of intelligent life is.

We never observed life outside earth; so we looking, and we been looking at any sign - we been sending signals and there's radio-silence in the universe. Point is, we don't know what exactly is required for life to evolve. Earth may be more unique than we imagined.
If we accept we may be the only life at this moment, we might treat it with more respect.

Because we aren't scanning every possible frequency.
The point is, we keep looking for carbon based life forms, for example. Who says life has to be carbon based? Or we look for signs of water. Who says water has to exist for life to exist?

All our knowledge of life points that way.

Not all of them, but a huge amount; see SETI.
And let me repeat; there is as much proof for life outside our planet, as there is for Angels. There's none.

Then you'd have to agree that we never seen life outside earth.
We never observed any direct or indirect evidence thereof.

Only based on our narrow vision of what life is. I'm simply suggesting that we open our minds to other possibilities.

Other possibilities don't send radio-signals, nor have any other measurable influence on their habitat; so if this other possibility is there, it not intelligent.
Drake was wrong. Earth may be the only place; and we might be too busy killing it.

Proving my point. You are defining intelligence based on the parameters you are familiar with. I am suggesting you open your mind and realize that life and intelligence do not have to be constrained within the box you created.

Engineers at CSEM have developed a new machine-learning method that paves the way for artificial intelligence to be used in applications that until now have been deemed too sensitive. * also known as 'not starting from scratch everytime'

I continue wondering... are we really wanting to make computers so "intelligent" and give them even more control over "too sensitive" applications?
When it explodes in our faces, we will deserve it.

Google’s in-house incubator Area 120 is today introducing a new work-tracking tool, Tables, which aims to make tracking projects more efficient by investing in automation. Checking... checking... No, not cancelled yet
US-only (maybe for now, or maybe it's just cancelled everywhere else)

|
|
|

So... not enough tracking workers and other users, now they want to track the work too?

Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge was first released in January to Windows consumers and enterprises, and now Linux users will finally get a taste of Microsoft's new browser. I'm sure they'll all jump on that opportunity

I'm sure the 0.1% of Linux web devs whose management requires explicit testing of new features on Edge (as opposed to the rest of us who're just "![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) it, it's HTML5 so it's 99.9% likely to work; good enough unless a major bug report comes in") in addition to actually used browsers will be excited they don't need to fire up a W10 VM anymore.
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?

Bing mobile app users on every platform including iOS and iPadOS are at risk after terabytes of user information have been stolen from an open server. Millions of people use Bing?
On iOS?
OK, OK, millions of user data sets, so it might just be the results from the internal test scripts.

"may be"?
I would say "should be" and not only google, there are a bunch of other companies that should be in the same situation (or even worse)
