Anything can only represent past measurements. Statistics is not an exception. But they don't make a prediction about the future. That comes from a model you have, and it often is implicit: "the linear trend from the last 12 month

There are at least some penalties for failed security and compliance. Ethics is the first victim of greed.

The original MacOS lacked memory protection too. It had cooperative multi-tasking, starting at version 7. Before that, the only thing that could be launched next to the main application were "desk accessories", which were a bit of

I don't really agree. Many top-down parsers find an error at an unexpected token. That token is often not the error. Quite often something is missing at that point, or there has been a mistake some way back. Translating e.g. "unex

You'll have to pay for it anyway. Games will get more expensive, there'll be more micro-transactions, etc. The investors as well as JP Morgan want their money back.
