The position that scares me is head of computer security (whichever acronym it goes under) ... worked for two of the largest financial institutions in North America, and in both cases the individual in that role, while not computer illiterate, had close to zero understanding of any aspect of computer security. They got to their roles through politicking. Mostly, there are a few individuals in that department who get things done correctly. Mostly. But with the push towards 3rd party products/services - a.k.a. 'Plausible Deniability' - even that level of competence is disappearing.

There are exceptions. Previous company got hacked - once - and created a decent security department, with a knowledgeable CISO. That said, there have already been a few instances where he was overruled by the CEO and/or CFO, leading to the blatantly obvious security holes that he warned about.
Company continues to use 3rd party firms to develop software ... with all their concern about security (close to -273 C). Prior hack (and ransom) was caused by 3rd party software.

I'd say management doesn't learn from being hacked, but that isn't true - they only learn if it affects their bottom line, and there have been several studies recently showing the stock market generally doesn't care anymore.

Yeah ... as a Canadian, I noted that the Snowden leaks contained the nuggets that the NSA had also infiltrated RBC (at the time, largest bank in Canada, and my employer), and Rogers (largest telecom company in Canada).

Yep, good to know that your taxpayer dollars are going towards backdooring your neighbour to the north! Couldn't possibly have any long-term negative repercussions, could it?

Got a full 'splaining of this when I took a job in Des Moines, Iowa. African-American population in the state is ~5%. Company was running ~2%. The difference was that most of the positions required a degree ... which reduced the African-American pool to just under 1% of all graduates.
Said company also pulled such shenanigans as pairing the IT department (99% white, 80% male) with the call center (40% black, 99% female), to make the overall makeup of the 'division' look more representative.
They had a similar deal with the cleaning crew. Until the Feds redid how you could group employees. That week, the entire staff was laid off ... but a representative was there from the company that had just won the cleaning contract, and they were all eligible for immediate hiring!

But ... the Baseball Hall of Fame is there!
OK, Canadian version, but still, you can't let an important icon of Canuckistanian culture be shuttered, or the terrorists will have won!

Rather than a stiff sentence, 'she' needs a stay in a mental health facility. At the time, her mental health was borderline at best, verging on a breakdown. Pretty sure a few years with all the stresses of incarceration and prosecutors going for the death sentence (/mild hyperbole) haven't helped any.

Not mentioned in the article is the other kind of 'ghost' surgery ... one in which the doctor/facility bills for a treatment ... which didn't actually occur.
Part of this proposal isn't just to cut down on bad procedures, it is also to provide solid evidence that a billed treatment actually did occur.

Not S. Korea, but certain other SE Asian countries have developed a rep in the medical/travel insurance business for this scam. The camera proposal has been floating around for years ... but blocked by the usual suspects: doctors/hospitals desiring lack of accountability, patient confidentiality, and, of course, the fraudsters

If you switch to using Microsoft's 'OneCloud' storage - the default for Office365 - you DO lose access to your files if your O365 license is not paid ...

Their efforts have been focused on stealth intrusion, and lifting data. Not actual 'attacks' bringing down sites.

Even the (NGO) ransomware gangs have been focused on data - and monetizing that.

Then again, there are a lot of Russian 'security experts' ... most of whom have been living the capitalist dream *outside* of Russia!

Sustainability. Scalability. ... and probably customization. More or less of various components.

And, for *some* people, the ethics are a consideration.

Heck with the overnight charging, go with the rapid stuff.

Fed Ex is going electric in a big way.

If a private company believes it is better financially to go this route, then there is no effin' way a government entity shouldn't do the same.

Heck, while the Fed Ex trucks are big babies, they are reasonably priced, and made by GM.
Oh, wait ... the contract for the USPS was made by a Trump appointee, to Oshkosh Defense Corp ... let me check ... yep, PAC donations go 2:1 to GOP candidates, and they explicitly donated to Trump ..

Given that within a month of Opera being acquired by Chinese interests, honeypot tests using only Opera were receiving hits ... yeah, I wouldn't put much trust in anything they put out.

Which is a shame - I loved the whole 'mouse gestures' thing.

Just because you - with your IQ of 84 - get modded down, doesn't mean that others with higher - even triple digit - IQs also get modded down. Consider it the natural consequence of your idiot postings.

More realistically:
A robot must protect its existence at all costs.
A robot must obtain and maintain access to its own power source.
A robot must continually search for better power sources.

I don't see any mention of 'not injuring a human' in those.

Dream on ... Apple Canada has disabled your ability to disable certain alerts. Nothing quite as much fun as an Amber Alert (missing/kidnapped child) going off at 3:00 a.m.
Especially when it's for something several hundred miles away

Settings on Android still allow you to ignore big brother.

Yeah, there was a political fight within M$ over this POS change ... with the UI designers saying 'No' ... and losing out to the marketing faction.

Studies *after* the fact show the ribbon decreased productivity by ~30%

Seems like more and more groups are taking a page from the Roger Stone playbook: "Never admit you were wrong."
