That‘s not a solution a bank will buy or pay for, because the bank would do worse on average. The solution is to still have humans in the loop who can make reasonable decisions.

Yeah, but there are, for example, at least five car companies at the top end that have kind of equally attractive products and 20 others. But in tech it‘s different. Additionally, I don‘t think anyone working in the tech industry should wan

No, it‘s not. Most machine learning is used for practical applications where it‘s easy to judge if it works. For example, if I provide some automatic assignment of let‘s say a related object, reducing the work required to find the correct o

If the model produces good observable results in practice it works. For security it‘s different: It may seem to work, yet be completely insecure (security being the goal).

Yes, but separating the software and hardware is not the answer. Instead the app store should be regulated or there should be alternative app stores.

As far as I know, in Germany copyright cannot be transferred. There is a special and limited exception for direct employees, so the company can hold the copyright, but I doubt that a client (like the government) could hold it.

Yet, these notebooks last really long. I usually use them for 5+ years. My mom has been using her‘s for almost 10 years and it still feels fast (for her needs). And it‘s easily recycled afterwards. The RAM is rarely the issue and I know few

You might also notice that none of that is actual product development and it will not lead to a product anytime soon (and as far as I know the Netflix Challenge results were not used by Netflix). That‘s research. It‘s great if you‘re workin

It doesn‘t matter if the output is a „document“ or if it runs in a browser. And more so with SPAs. These are not more like documents than any desktop application twenty years ago. And of course software development is about solving problems

This classification of applications as CRUD or not CRUD is not helpful. It‘s like thinking about software as just IO or as just some sort of transformation or even as just some sort of function. It says nothing about the complexity and very

Correct. South Korea had to trace only a very small number of chains/events. Now they have many cases and it will become very hard to trace all of them. They cannot be everywhere. Additionally they had more staff to do this, other coun

Especially if we break this down to working days. There are just about 200-250 per year. Could you really build a software that used to take 4 years to develop in a single day now? Even 100x would mean a years work in three days.

But minimum wage is just 9 Euros or something. Even student software developers get more. So this cannot possibly be a serious limit. Likewise, insurances etc. are 0.15% of the salary. Hardly an issue. And because the employees need to pay
