This is why I still come to slashdot. Fan of your work.

I'd mod this up if I could. The extra middle men all have to be fed as well.

For firing the Woz and canceling the IIgs line

Roughly. The percentage of people attending from each continent times the distance to a best-guess location, do the sum and see what works best.

It also doesn't allow for people taking trains or cars and assumes everyone's flying on the same kind of plane for the same fuel economy.

If you want to minimize the carbon footprint of conference-related travel, statistically Madrid is a much better option.

They could be pretty big percentages when we start using fusion rockets.

Fuck off you illiterate moron

I have a plain Debian image I can pop in about 90% of the machines we're removing Win10 from without any hassle. When the hell is the last time you installed Linux?

It's Powershell, it probably takes up 2gb in libraries.

Well, that, and they're likely to start harassing their coworkers, because they have be inculcated with the belief that every utterance that comes from their is not merely profound, but their absolute right to blurt out.

Since you're into crime, how about I blackmail you? I'll take a more reasonable rental rate and in return I won't report you for trying to criminally access a corporate computer system!

Imagine you have recordings of every letter written, email sent, phone call made, video recorded, etc. of a deceased loved one... throw in their credit history and essentially every digital trace of them you can get your hands on in addition to scanning all the analog data.

Now train an AI on that and you have a 'ghost' of the person you lost that you can interact with for as long as you wish.

Ghoulish, I think, but it'll happen. And one day, when you want to meet your ancestors, you'll call up their AI ghost and have a conversation with them.

If an automated vehicle is found committing an offense, an appropriate fine should be levied against the company and (depending on the potential severity of outcome of the behaviour) all its vehicles immediately banned from operation until their code is updated to prevent a recurrence.

They're not human, they aren't learning because they got pulled over by a police officer. They are just as likely to make that same mistake again as they were before the incident, and until that changes all vehicles running the same control software should be considered equally at risk of making that error.

"Computer science went from a future-proof career to an industry in upheaval in a shockingly small amount of time."

This is basically 2001 prior to 9/11 again. Even the Slashdot comments could be substituted. I must be getting old.

Sucks to be graduating right now.

CEOs generally don't work those kinds of hours. They might be on the company clock, but a lot of it is what your regular cubicle occupant would consider slacking.

God knows I've spent enough time exempting them from web filters so they can watch streaming sports events or get to their favorite gambling sites.
