The book had 2 sequels, which show that Colossus was working to keep humanity safe. (It would've really helped if Colossus had told us what it was protecting us from, but even computers can make mistakes.)

It's possible to stop a trial because the new drug is much more effective than the old drug. It's also possible to stop a trial because the new drug's significantly worse than the old. We've done both. Also, I hope that

Tibco does/did middleware. When I used it 20 odd years ago, it provided a robust messaging system for apps across the enterprise. We used it to communicate between a half dozen systems where I worked as well as the middleware for the n

There are plenty of parts of the US with really poor cell coverage. Even if everything's working perfectly, there's no guarantee that your car can update. Having a car die because it couldn't phone home is both a lawsuit wait

I remember reading about a team (I think in Japan) which had a "brash foreigner." If someone noticed something, they'd mention it to the foreigner, who would bring it up with higher ups. Everybody won. Problems got fixed, the

Citrix does desktop virtualization. Back when I was involved with using their stuff (20 years ago), it was a lot faster for global users to connect to our Citrix server to run client/server apps than to run them over the WAN. Tibco doe
