Software error freed prisoners ahead of time in the United States – Globo.com

Until 3200 prisoners in the state of Washington in the United States, were released before they have completed to fulfill the entire sentence since 2002. The reason is a programming error known as the body responsible for prisons three years ago. The problem was revealed by Jay Inslee, state governor, at a press conference on December 22.

Estimates suggest that the prisoners were released on average 55 days before the end of the sentence, according to the newspaper “Seattle Times”.

The authorities are now trying to locate the prisoners, they finish serving his sentence. Five have already returned to jail. But most should not return to prison because the law provides a credit to every free day is worth a day trapped. In a severe case, a prisoner had the sentence reduced by 600 days, but as was never released, it is not entitled to credit.

The error was introduced in 2002 after a Supreme Court decision the United States who decided that prisoners deserved a reduced sentence in credits “good behavior” received in state prisons and in county prisons. . The software that makes the calculation had to be updated to take into account this decision

For some reason, however, the program now not take into account the constraints of certain aggravating the sentence: the sexual assault and firearm sizes and lethal weapon. According to local law, aggravating these are not subject to reduction for good behavior.

The problem was reported by the family of a prisoner in 2012 and a call to resolve the issue was opened in December of that year. Over the next three years, the correction postponed several times. The software must only be corrected in January after more than 15 years with the problem.

An investigation was initiated to discover the reason for the delays. No one was held accountable.

It is known that Samsung is responsible for manufacturing popular smartphones, such as the “winner” of CES 2015 Galaxy S6 Edge , and hardware reference as its line of processors Exynos and manufacturing various chips for its Apple rival. But everyone also knows that the Tizen not already have such a good fan base. And that, according to unnamed sources from the Reuters , it would be because the strong roots of the South Korean hardware, which leave no room for development of software within the company .

The news site claims to have interviewed executives who still work in the company, which came out of it already, who preferred to remain anonymous, but had a consensus on the company’s problems with software development. One would have said that:

     

       

         

There is much distrust of top executives who can actually implement things that are more than offer a software and services. It is still ‘we know sell boxes, then we sell boxes’.

       

     

   

The situation is problematic in the competitive smartphone market, where one of the best ways to retain users is with application solutions and attractive digital ecosystem, especially in an open environment such as Android .

     

       

         

The top management of Samsung just inherently does not understand software They understand hardware -.. by the way, they understand better hardware than anyone But software is a completely different game “

Five ways the software changed forever – Computerworld Portugal

If Compare-business software tools of today with those of only a year or two and can not help but notice a striking difference:. the user experience

The current software is increasingly shifting towards paradigms and consumer world features, particularly of smartphones and mobile computing.

The interfaces are much simpler, the features of social interaction are ubiquitous and imitate those we are familiar with in our personal lives. And everything tends to be designed for mobility.

Another ubiquitous component that was not there before is analytical. The analytical capabilities are being democratized and if anyone does not have them yet available, you can be sure that they are about to reach a next application.

Business users tend to longer need to ask the department IT or begging for time with a highly trained analyst. Instead, there are already many available analytical tools, giving the power to target data and plumb them as will be understood. In many ways, it also brings potential risks.

Big Data and moreover

Machine Learning increasingly emerges

The term “machine learning” is emerging with increasing frequency in the world of enterprise software. Has started to enrich the software tools with new capabilities and it seems fairly certain that there is much more to show up. The year 2016 will be even richer in this area.
