Should AI get to choose a topping in a two pizza team?

WibbleMe

Yorkshire Pussing Pizza?

I remember a news article about the Italian Ambasidor receiving a pizza with a poached egg on top, let's say Italy has Volcanoes. So is the AI American or European?

What would it choose for a base, deep/thin crust, stuffed crust or even Yorkshire Pussing Pizza?

Who wants dynamic dancing animations and code in their emails? Everyone! says Google

Dancing Chicken

25 years ago a had to submit an IT project (as a website) to two different lectures for marking, the one of the Computer Science School insisted that text uses the "blink" function or I would fail and the one from "Digital Art and Design" department instead that I would fail if I used "Blink".

But since we keep seeing articles about PC's being vulnerable malicious code in in.PGN and.JPG then we can assume all our emails will have Bitcoin mining mail ware on them from now on in the form of a dancing chicken.

Here we go again... UK Prime Minister urges nerds to come up with magic crypto backdoors

WibbleMe

I would suggest that the crypto key is issued by the government that is the "country of origin" where the data is sent from or stored ie. website/email from example.com would use a SSL key/cert issue by uk.gov allowing data for the .co.uk website to be decrypted by those officials that need to access the data legally. Of course, this would be have be compulsory stopping cert providers issuing certs to data providers in another country.

Microsoft asks devs for quantum leap of faith

IT buyer? Had enough of pesky resellers cold calling? You aren't alone

WibbleMe

When you buy a .co.uk domain name your have to give a valid phone number, we are inundated from domain brokers 3-4 times a day despite being one ourselves. Frustrating the fact that we cannot hide personal information. Thank you Nominet.

No 2017 bonus for you, HPE tells employees

WibbleMe

If you do not get a pay rise to mach inflation then you are getting a pay cut!

WibbleMe

Re: I see nothing much has changed.

I work in the IT industry, when I want a pay rise I start looking for jobs and going to interviews at a different company. Leave means they have to negotiate you back and it they value me that much they will offer more than my new employer. The trouble is that directors do work like computer logic, so you need to think in a non IT way and be aggressive/pushy as possible when it comes to pay rises. It also never hurts to keep moaning to your boss about it, (like they care about you as a mate).

WibbleMe

Interesting picture of a burning bank note, it is illegal to deface our sterling tender.

Abolish the Telly Tax? Fat chance, say MPs at non-binding debate

How to change your black ops servers IP address to Google.com or ibm.com "nano /etc/hosts" and apply new IP

Splitting off Google Shopping wouldn't fix the pay-to-play problem

WibbleMe

For once I am supporting the big buy Google, having written scripts for and used the smaller comparison sites for clients it seems that are woefully over priced compared to google, perhaps this could be their problem more than they realise.

AI is worth learning and not too tricky – if you can get your head around key frameworks

WibbleMe

The whole point of AI is that the AI makes the framework, the coding and then your job.

Forget One Windows, Microsoft says it's time to modernize your apps

WibbleMe

Here's a tip Microsoft... stop changing your apps layout (such as office) it pisses the end user off instead spend money on "Skin" to make them look awesome, clearly something lacking with the shitty metro theme, I was making blocks when I was 3.

WordPress has adverse reaction to Facebook's React.js licence

WibbleMe

Re: Wordpress doesn't use React

Wordpress spits out post as JSON with WP REST (url.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts) and also uses .js for updates/plugins interaction

WibbleMe

There are so many .js platforms out there that it wont take them long to migrate to something very similar, like Angulars MIT licence as opposed to Apache License 2.0 for React.js

Senators call for '9/11-style' commission on computer voting security

ICO whacks Welsh biz with £350k fine for 150 million nuisance calls

Police camera inaction? Civil liberties group questions forces' £23m body-cam spend

WibbleMe

Yes the Civil Liberties of a thug that says I did not spit in the face of a police officer to the Judge, would a body camera prove this, on the same site a camera can raise the standard of policing.

There is a certain kind of person that studies Civil Liberties, the same kid of people that want to give paedophiles protection and radicalists rights to stay in the UK

A sarcasm detector bot? That sounds absolutely brilliant. Definitely

WibbleMe

Im considering doing an e-petition making it a requirement for capatch to be used on all UK chat services to stop fake bots. This concept of AI must be really hurting the industry with people frighted to talk in case its just silicon.
