With Windows 10 doing things like this, and Windows 7 being aggressively deprecated, I decided I finally wanted to ditch Windows as my daily driver. It was good timing, then, that I watched the "7 Gamers 1 CPU" video from LinuxTechTips, which showed me how to do it without sacrificing gaming.

Most everything I use runs in Linux, and for the few things that don't I can spin up a VM. But there's the caveat that is as old as Windows itself ... gaming. Dual booting isn't an option for me, because I tend to run various server VMs 24/7. I also didn't want a second tower just for Windows; that's non-ideal. But wait! Apparently modern CPUs have this fancy thing called IOMMU I never knew about, which lets you give direct access to PCI-E devices, like GPUs, to a VM.

So I bought up a 5820K, a X99 motherboard, and an extra graphics card, and away I went. I now have Arch Linux running as the host system where I do all my work. Windows 10 sits in a VM where it's given direct and exclusive access to a GTX 970 for graphics. So far, things are working well and Windows runs the benchmark apps just fine.

The end result is that I can use Linux as my daily driver, but flip over to my Windows VM whenever I want to game. It keeps Windows isolated, which is great from a privacy/security perspective, I don't have to dual-boot, and best of all I can spin up different VMs if I want to use the beastly GTX 970 for other work like machine learning. Thanks to using the 5820K which has a few Xeon features in it, the entire process when smoothly. The biggest caveat is I haven't found a DisplayPort switch yet, so I can't hook up the Windows VM to my primary Cinema monitor, and I haven't nailed down the mouse+keyboard thing yet. QEMU's virtual mouse+keyboard doesn't normally work with these kinds of VMs, so you have to hack it in, and even then it likes to randomly stop working. I could just grab a second set of physical mouse+keyboard but that's not ideal. Steam Steaming will probably be the best option for now.
Growth usually refers to a second derivative, whereas "getting more resources" is a first derivative.

If someone produces the same 5 widgets/month for 10 years, their business has not grown yet they've been creating resources the whole time.

The two are only equivalent when we assume that income matches expenses (no savings), which is a fundamental problem with the modern economy.
You should have backed up your games first. That's pretty easy. You can even install steam into an existing library folder and it will find all the games.

Sure, I'd love browser improvements too, but at the end of the day, you can't automatically optimize everything from the browser. The browser can't magically fix a 1MB JS file in <head>, or serving 2000px wide images to iPhones.

>I'd prefer to just improve the browsers instead of putting the burden on Web authors.

A cynical answer is that Google released this because web authors haven't done a good enough job making fast pages.
Just FTR, GMail puts quite a few ads in the inbox though. And until a few years ago, GMail also had fancy images and (internal only) ads on their login page as well. I didn't particularly care about those, though, because I usually never see the login page. But I do agree that GMail's advertisement is a lot more lightweight than other email services I have used (rediffmail? inline ads anyone?)

Although presently I just use GMail's https://inbox.google.com which hasn't shown me an advertisement yet.

Many linux systems don't even support in-place upgrades between major versions. And I don't think i've ever had one work where nothing broke.

RHEL only started supporting it for the transition between 6 and 7 on a like 3 architectures on one edition.

And OSX has it's share of issues. For me personally, updating to El Capitan was the worst upgrade processes i've done in recent memory. From not running the installer but giving no issues, to not finding the harddrive during the install process, to corrupting the current install of yosemite, to bluetooth being broken after the upgrade, and i can't get wifi speeds over 1mbps.

A clean install solved all of that, but that's pretty normal with every single OS i've ever encountered.

It's not a question of being "more careful", it's that writing software in a way that it can be in-place upgraded to something you don't know will exist at the time is EXTREMELY HARD! I really feel it's one of the big "unsolved problems" in computer science and i don't see it being solved any time soon.
This looks very useful. For the commenters who think this is a trivial service, I'd like to know how you handle the publishing step for your current FAQ pages. Most of our FAQ content comes from the product team, and much of the rest from other not-very-technical members of our team. Publishing FAQ updates always impacts our dev team. Being able to just give full control of the FAQ to our PM is definitely worth the $84/year.

But, DNS mapping is a must have for us - for most of our users, being directed off-site is mildly confusing, which is a particularly bad UX for someone who is already in state of incomplete information. DNS mapping also needs to come with customizable css.

If you had those two features already, we would be considering your product today.

A couple of other suggestions:

- Your FAQ itself does not address the question about custom domains, it probably should.

- As others have mentioned, not having a clear link to a pricing page creates the risk of potential customers thinking you are hiding it on purpose.

- It is a dark pattern to list the price as $7/month if you don't offer a monthly payment plan. Please either list the minimum transaction (currently $84), or offer a monthly plan.

- Is the editor exposed anywhere in the demo? I could not find it (just a screenshot on the homepage). Our content creators aren't that technical, so previewing the editor is important. WYSIWYG would be great, but markdown+preview mode would be just fine.

- Do you also provide media hosting? Some of your demo questions feature embedded pictures - and if I don't have to manage the file hosting for those assets, that's very appealing.

- What is your cross-platform support? Searching your demo for the terms "responsive", "mobile", or "tablet" returns zero results.

- Is there a way for me to follow the evolution of your product, e.g. mailing list or twitter? The product seems like a good fit for us once DNS mapping is in place, but not yet, so I would like to keep up-to-date.
I'm fine with jumping aboard the hate train for things like the Office ads but this seems like a pretty non-issue and I agree with you. Just like the Google Play widget or notifications for the App Store on iOS; Windows is doing the same-thing but with a lock screen background.

I'm not sure if this is a default (I thought it wasn't; it certainly wasn't when I bought a Surface a couple of weeks ago). If this is a default then I think that should be changed but beyond that? Not a big deal. Let's focus on other Windows 10 issues that should be addressed versus this.

This is an incredible resource, +1. I started using ledger heavily about a year ago and it's been a game changer.

Personal accounting is about data capture; if you don't gather good data, you end up with garbage in garbage out analysis. Having a simple, non-propretary file format enables so many things. The data capture side (OFX/QIF/CSV files, bank websites, etc. etc.) is still clunky and painful but that's a hard problem to solve.

I agree. I'm also a consultant and my biggest disappointment is how LinkedIn is aligned almost exclusively with full-time employment. It's really a waste of my money as I get all my gigs via real-world connections from previous clients. I've been wishing for years that LinkedIn would add more consulting-specific features (this is the era of the "gig economy" after all, right?) but it doesn't happen. I only maintain a profile because in the U.S. not having one means you don't exist (to too many people anyway).
But the user is not the product in the case of FOSS. No-one is taking advantage of you as is the case when you, the user, are marketed to advertisers.

That sounds like "With Folded Hands" by Jack Williamson, which interestingly while nothing to do with Asimov is clearly the inspiration for the film "I, Robot" with Will Smith.
I've been using Windows 10 for a while now at work and I haven't seen any ads yet. I was really enjoying the different pictures on the lock screen and the way you can like/dislike them to get more of the types of pictures you like. If they start running ads on it and I have to disable it that's going to be pretty sad. I mean, not really in the grand scheme of things, but it was a pleasant, enjoyable feature that made me like Windows. Why ruin it with ads?
> However, you might owe taxes in your home country.

This line is key. You can't escape taxes, you can only change where you pay them (and therefore potentially how much you pay...)

The complication with setting up a business in the US is figuring out both what the IRS expects and what your country's tax agency expects. This varies both based on treaties with the US and based on local interpretation of US company structures. You have to be careful, or a few years later you could owe back taxes either to the IRS or your local tax authority, even if your only mistake was not filing the correct paperwork to say you didn't actually owe taxes.

A better way of saying you don't owe taxes is to say ... understand what taxes you owe, it could be $0. You still have to file, however, and you'll have to file both locally and abroad. :)

It varies state-to-state what constitutes "doing business," but just having a bank account usually doesn't qualify. Coming from harmonized tax laws, the US is an unexpectedly different place. But this is a step in the right direction!
Saddlebagging is about adopting sexual practices adopted specifically to prevent procreation, so relevant in multiple branches of the conversation. The song establishes cultural relevance, as well as being somewhat entertaining (in my opinion).

What I thought made it non-relevant is that FGM is cultural, not genetic or a species wide aspect of our psychology (regardless of whether it affects millions). Additionally,I don't think you made a good case as to why being born as a species that has to contend with bad conditions (but I don't believe worse than the alternative) isn't preferable to being born a species that has to contend with death at every attempted mating.

In short, it felt a bit like you used FGM for impact due to it's status in our culture, not for it's relevance to the discussion at hand. It's possible I'm not seeing a connection you thought was implied there though, so feel free to expand if you feel like it.
I've been thinking this looks doable:

> Another is ensuring that all of the excessive and crappy Javascript that many sites run isn't used

While I wouldn't argue that there isn't a massive amount of god-awful javascript being written today, but why does a third party, private company get to determine what is or isn't "excessive and crappy" on someone's own website? This sounds like a slippery slope to me.
Before dismissing the G5’s modularity take a fresh look at it. For the moment just suspend your disbelief about modularity or pretend that modularity wasn’t announced. It is a beautifully executed flagship phone designed and produced by one of the best mobile shops in the world.
My nexus 9 have changed a lot the way I work. As a professor, my time is split between teaching and research. I still use my computer to prepare my lectures and a big part of my coding but, giving lecture, reading papers and taking notes are all done on it.

The combination of termux and SSH means than I can do some dev on it if I have the Bluetooth keyboard with me, it's not ideal but enough to not justify taking my computer with me for one our of coding in the day.
The interactivity of being able to move through the classroom and ask students to write answers on a virtual whiteboard keeping the results and going back later to this is invaluable.

I truly wait for the day were we have good PDF library app with a reader that can take notes, a good whiteboard app that allow you to have an infinite canvas, ... but even now it changed my way to work for the better.

I think Google is massively overpaid for what it does at this point.

In your scenario, you've decided you want to 1) buy a bike 2) from a brick and mortar store 3) by going there and talking to them. Your mind is made up. Why does your local bike shop have to pay Google to show up in those results? What if a bike shop uses its budget to advertise on Google instead of training its employees, you'll go to the one that's advertising instead of the good one, because Google is playing middleman on intent. I don't like there being economic incentive to mess with my research when I've already decided what I want.

On the other hand, I like AdSense. If I'm reading an article about commuting problems in the Bay Area or on how to buy a car for cheap, ads for bike shops might be helpful. It turns out that SF is a good place to ditch the car and commute on your bike because the weather is so good. That's new information in the moment I'm making the decision, not re-ranking existing information when I'm trying to find something more commoditized.

The problem is the Google has built a legitimate monopoly on search, and they're extracting the value they can from it. Sure, it's based on being a better search engine than everybody else, but it still frustrates me that they're taking their monopolists cut.

It's pretty simple: If they don't care about me, why should I care about their product? I'll still come in and do the job, but why should I put in extra effort?

Total "PC" units are shrinking, and Windows PC sales are shrinking compared to Mac computer sales, and phones are exploding compared to PCs. What comparison could you make where Windows PC sales are "up"?
My approach is a web app. It's not native, but effective.
"LinkedIn is not, in fact, a business network — individuals on LinkedIn represent themselves, not their businesses."

This is why Amazon is Google's biggest competitor in search.
It's funny to read all those irritating comments: "oh, my OS is showing me ads", people complaining after they got a pirate OS without paying for it.
Sonic has had hot-dogs as a major component of their menus for some time. Probably Dairy Queen and A+W don't qualify as "large chains" but they also have had hot-dogs as menu mainstays.
Except I could argue that most major company's sales pages are deceptive. I mean just look at cellular or cable services in the US, find me ANY that isn't being deceptive in one way or another.

Heck I'd even argue that Google Fiber's page has several statements and claims which are suspect.
Connections don't mean anything except for raising your own profile and improving your position in search results. I have 939 contacts on LinkedIn right now and my experience has not changed from when I had 50.
Who's "the man"?
Perhaps not to accept but VCs are going to require it. I think that's what is meant.
> I actually had Office installed and was STILL seeing those annoying as heck notifications. That was just blatant and annoying advertising.

Same thing here. I don't see how hard could it be to verify that the Microsoft account I have used to create a Windows account has an Office 365 subscription.
AMP does more than just minimize network requests or JS loading size, it structures the page so that browsers can render it faster as well. (that is, controlling for network download and JS parse time)
Is there a write-up on this that you can recommend?
Generally true when VC is (potentially) involved.
Same here. I "trust" the Google algorithm to show me the most relevant search results first, but know that ads are not part of that ranking. So if I'm looking for the most relevant result I'm clicking on the first results after the ads.
> Then pass a law that bans backdoors like the one Apple has on all its devices, if you think backdoors are not ok

That's not even on the table. Congress passes laws and this case is in court.

I support Apple in standing up to the DOJ. They should not be forced to write software that weakens their device's security. The semantics of whether we say a backdoor already exists or not do not matter. The fact is Apple will have to create something that does not yet exist in order to fulfill this request, and there is a risk that that can get out into the wild. Nobody understands the risk of that possibility better than Apple. I stand by them because I feel the time to support them is now. There may not be a later. You're free to disagree.

It's true that it is probably easier to get away with planting fake digital evidence than fake physical evidence. But, I mean, there has to be some trust in law enforcement. If law enforcement does this on a regular basis - and the US police have much more in the past, especially against certain minority groups - the entire system collapses.

So until there's evidence of German law enforcement planting fake evidence, I still see no issue with this.

Anyone who is into Ledger-like double-entry accounting and looking for a project to hack on, check out my very-early-and-rough project "DoubleBook": https://github.com/haberman/dblbook

The idea is to run the app in a web browser using IndexedDB. It's written in React and all client-side, so I'm hoping this could run in a web browser or as a native app. It could also run purely client-side as a Chrome App so you don't have to trust a server.

I've put a ton of work into the data layer, which is pretty functional, but I'm a backend guy and not very fast at writing UI's. If anyone is interested in helping me on the UI I'd love that. (Fair warning: since I'm a Googler by day I released this as a Google Open Source project, and to contribute to it you'd have to sign the Google CLA. I understand if some people might not be into that).

It even has a (very rough) importer from Ledger format.

Clicking advertisements also helps to pay for the service you are using for free. In the case of google search the ads don't significantly diminish the product, so I'm happy to give google a bit of ad revenue.
The irony here is that you still see those ads even if you have a running Office 365 subscription associated with the same Microsoft account you've used to create your Windows account.

I'm still a little confused on whether or not this is better than incorporating in your own country. Is this more geared to accelerator startups who are thinking of moving to the US? Certainly US incorporation is not required (or even all that helpful?) in establishing a US presence?
