Very few businesses that are involved in IT in any way have anything remotely close to decent security.

Basically, they need to reintroduce the US' Internet Czar, who should have meaningful authority and who should impose meaningful IT security standards. That small companies can't afford to hire security staff is irrelevant as they mostly either work in the cloud using SAAS, at which point their provider should be handling all the security. If you want to roll your own, then you should accept the burden of paying for adequate security. Minimum standards apply to just about everything else in life, and I'd rate getting IT security right just a little bit more important than getting cars to not roll over (you can usually survive a roll) or preventing toasters from spontaneously combusting (you can park electrical appliances away from flammable stuff).

You can avoid catastrophes with defective appliances but you can't avoid catastrophes with defective IT systems.

It's all just for fun.

What does any of that have to do with Beethoven and Wagner?

They are a public company, so you can check their financials.

It seems the problem was an NP hard problem, and the goal was to build a heuristic that gets as close as possible to a good answer without being perfect.

In other words, in this contest, the goal was literally to write buggy code.

The summary beat you to it. ltr

Were they invaluable? Now they are zero.

It's called Stack Ranking and it causes problems when people need to cooperate (like on programming teams), because people won't cooperate, they'll backstab each other. It's entirely counterproductive.

It works ok on sales teams when salespeople operate independently of each other. (ie, the more they work together, the less it works).

LOL no doubt that will hold up in court. The law doesn't say it has to be defined with the authority of the copyright owner.

The part about authority means that even if you manage to break the copy protection (which you have by switching your user agent), if you do that without authorization, then you've broken the law.

Again, this is one of the problems with the DMCA.

"Atlantic Council" fake website is a joke and isn't NATO, and Josh Cohen is a Putin-dicklicking troll. Yawwn.

They shouldn't have gotten rid of calculus as a requirement.

If you want to learn to code, go to a boot camp. It's only 8 months. College is about learning to think.

Oh come on, that's not true. ChatGPT is just a text generator, but the Virgin Mary saved my little brother from being a newt.
