Whether MS deserves credit or not, he's a very senior SW engineer at Microsoft so this should at least provide some reassurance that the company has technical leaders who are looking out for these sorts of security risks...
> TIL that car fatalities were declining until 2019, and then reversed and are getting worse.
Per your link, fatalities per mile drive bottomed out in 2014 and barely dropped after 2010. There's been some speculation that this reversal in safety was tied to the rise of smartphones and a corresponding increase of distracted driving.
Speech to text is often wrong too. So is autocorrect. And object detection. Computers don't have to be 100% correct in order to be useful, as long as we don't put too much faith in them.
This seems like a non sequitur -- the parent was just pointing out that the article's use of "browser" was probably a typo. In addition to being more correct using "search engine" or just "search" in place of "browser" would have made that sentence more accessible to the "rest of the population" you're describing.
You didn't really make a comment -- you just dropped in an Asimov quote. And xNeil's interpretation of the relevance of that comment matched my intuition. If you had some other intent with that comment, maybe you should clarify?
That's not really true, at least not in the same way being discussed above. Jobs already owned millions of shares in Apple stock, so yes, he profited from the stock but AFAIK that was only from the appreciation of existing stock, not from new grants.
10-15% of car accidents are cause by mechanical failure. Some of those could certainly be blamed on large corporations cutting corners, so my question still stands.
