What he's referring to is a scenario where a car's AI has to choose between hitting a pedestrian on the sidewalk and hitting one in the street. When that's written into code, it creates liability. An attorney could find...

Everyone has made this mistake, that's why finding a system that hasn't been hacked (or won't be shortly) is a rarity today. Business, with IT too clueless/gutless (pick one) to say no, wanted the pretty screens and customer...

"When the vehicle has to make a decision and there is no choice, to drive into a ditch or a tree, or hit a pedestrian, today you leave it up to the human being and nobody questions it. It's just a judgment in time. But when...

Or phone phreaks as they were called then. One of best books I've read in past few years, Exploding The Phone. All the about the history of that. Fascinating Jobs and Wozniak were actually involved in that, not that far...

Don't forget, Curt, that Docker itself is open source and a large and thriving project. But assuming you knew that, LXC isn't excactly a challenger to Docker. It's a library of functions, tools and templates with which Linux...

@SachinEE, you won't catch me discounting the importance of reading but the fact is that there are many different literacies that a person must have to function in western society and it's time we spent time recognizing...

Charlie, I appreciate this article -- I'm still coming up to speed on the continer marketplace. My learning process leads me to ask the following question: Do you see a real market threat from an open source container option...

Never been an MS product enthusiast (or AAPL for that matter) but the hololens this time does it for me. I won't use it personally but can't wait to see people punching the air and talking at the same time to "nobody" like...

@gnaggett75002 I am with you. I don't like this apparently chic concept that our data should be available on every device. So in the case we are compromised everything is affected. MS has...
In reply to: Re: Data Security and data usage across apps.
In the past, my organization has been ripe with the "we've always done it that way." Actually, it was worse. One long-time employee used the phrase, "If we've done it twice, it's tradition." Not only is innovation stifled...

Should be interesting to watch this evolve. There are not many industries with as much data - and data transfer as healthcare. Hopefully this project can serve as a beacon for other fields struggling with standard development....

Great idea on separation of duties. That is one of the most effective process controls any business can use to protect itself from a single individual trying to do harm (or accidentally doing harm). While people can collude,...

I would venture a guess that any CXO that made the mistake of replacing the mainframe for the sole purpose of cost savings probably isn't a CXO at that same company anymore. Hopefully, as they've moved on, they've learned...

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
