Comment Backups (Score 2) 36

Always have multiple levels of backups. Always have a working recovery plan. Know that you can recover when you are 'out'. Yet gazillions of chimp companies with patsy IT security chiefs (Thinking of Get Smart logic) are there just to absorb the blame. One day AI will mine the darkweb and find the weakest links, and really go to town. Today I read the latest AI engines have malicious payloads to discover the user doing the query. Automated blackmail and smear campaigns coming soon.

I never believe the employment and CPI numbers, and they keep getting doctored with subsidies and dropout factors, like not paying for health insurance. Generation Z has never been worse off, noddy and temp gig jobs. No wonder they are electing never before heard of candidates who aim to at least address one wrong. Boomers are quitting because they dont get any on the job respect and zero training or advancement. And if they do get hired, it is to retrain cheaper more obedient replacements.

Technological advances "will eliminate the old sonic boom," FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said in a statement. I take it he can prove or restore some credibility. Planes are a design compromise. Supersonic means big big tanks and expansion joints. The boom can front end engine intakes. I think you will find the latest Russian fighter plane still makes loud booms when maxxing it out. The alternative, orbital flying is going to use buckets of fuel. And I assure you, planes are still dropping crud on the runways, and tires always delaminating.

Our business has not changed, we have not expanded, same usage ,but you want 50% more in license fees anyways. We are not at fault, and paid a premium for perpetual licenses in good faith. You at merger time, failed due diligence for existing obligations. Tricky legal manipulation still amounts to daylight robbery. This stuff happened under Computer Associates and Oracle decades ago. Every few years, someone tries to roll you into a package deal, with worthless extras you don't need, or wont use least they lock you in harder. Solution Options: The 'No worse off test' , Lawyer up and fight, Move, jump ship while in litigation. The Hotel California situation MUST be budgeted for, even today. One advises AI token billing is already broken, and there will be front end AI brokers throwing easy ones to China or lowest bidder, so it is a no brainer NOT to commit to any model. I observe no-one is asking 'which business rules are costing us call center money?' I can answer that one - needless redundant two factor, or security questions, and too smart promos, obscurity with auto renew billing prices.

Comment Sadly AI cannot see, smell or feel defects (Score 1) 94

Sadly, the most expensive warranty repairs have NOT been acted on. Broken engines and drivetrains should have pushed the right buttons, but no. Margins have no safety tolerances. Trucks do not have unfit for towing stickers. There are youtube sites like daves garage that live on complex problems, and do forensics on failed kit. Not sure if overly thin oils can be discussed. AI will not predict there will be a huge rush to hybrids when word gets around. $15000 dollar repairs will sour your customers permanently.

Also MS has a sneaky habit of reusing fix numbers, and sneaking in fixes willy nilly, so the number of patches does not look that bad. The Justification is to make it harder for hackers to see what was fixed. Unfortunately on darkweb, that is already done. Most lawful security experts do not have the time to troll forum's down the rabbit hole at their employers expense (or arbitrary budget).

Comment Regression (Score 2) 30

So far MS has offered no excuses for the regression of multiple high severity fixes. This guy is reinforcing honesty and accountability. Some think MS can afford code reviews, duty programmers and people who can read dumps and backtrack. No lazy 'just the minimum'. In my day the author of the defective code, had other code reviewed and fixed. Sounds like this is not being done either. Fear not, AI will soon learn and target the commit tree by the weakest coder, by date of inexperience.

Comment Natural Justice (Score 1) 24

The term Natural Justice and Jurisprudence already exists. Ever been summarily fired by HR without your side of the story being listened to first, where the outcome was decided before given a chance to comment, or summarily ignored anyway. At least in the British legal system, the punishment is severe and can not to flicked to to unaccountable persons. The remedy is RESTITUTION and that can be costly and severe. And Injunctions can happen fast! I understand in USA innocent people have been jailed after extradition by the most grievous DMV photo matching. False positive's are there, always. I hope juries hearing bleating, award at least treble damages and more.

Comment Regression (Score 1, Troll) 35

High severity bugfix regression was also disclosed. And has occurred several times. MS has not made a statement how this could have occurred. Its looking like managers get a bonus for not not properly dealing with the big ones. Or that Agile is afoot - yeah we tried, and ran out of time. All is good, no-one is likely to look.
