My fiancee (at her daughter's recommendation) allowed the Windows 10 upgrade to proceed on her Lenovo T530. It suffered the same Wifi symptoms you reported. We followed the same course of action to repair the problem, to no avail. Reverted to Windows 7 using the Windows 10 downgrade procedure, but the Wifi still failed to work properly. We successfully restored Windows 7 from a recent image backup.

I've had no problems performing Windows 10 clean installs on several machines, but have been far too skeptical to believe Microsoft could pull off a mass upgrade of the Windows 7/8 installed base.

I wonder what upgrade failure rate they deemed acceptable during their deployment testing?

for example, I watched a documentary about a Western eye doctor who went there pro bono to do cataract surgeries

the thing was, when he gave people their sight back they didn't thank him, they went up to a picture of 'Dear Leader' and wept and prostrated themselves in a cathartic show of gratitude

Modern Combat 5 Blackout Hack Tool No Survey
The web revolution hasn't even really happened yet. Heck the computer revolution hasn't happened yet.

I've been thinking about this a lot: The killer app for the computer is writing your own function. There are people who can write a function, but the number of them basically rounds to zero.

The computer revolution won't even have started until random children (not just geeky ones) are writing functions to mess with each other during class.

We (CS people) could've made that happen decades ago, but we're too infatuated with the idea that we're extra special smart geniuses (look who's rich now, jocks!) that we just happily plod along with our finicky professional-grade tooling that takes months/years to master.

Any company that starts to move in the direction of wide-availability programming tools (visicalc, heroku, salesforce) ends up getting sucked into the enterprise market because that's where the money is and Greed Always Wins (So Far). And Open Source software has basically stalled since the Web happened and deployment (which is expensive) took the place of distribution (which is essentially free).

That said, the Dark Ages of Open Source will be coming to a close soon. Some kind of cloud-based programming system along the lines of Ethereum/AWS-Lambda will happen and we'll finally see the Big Wave of software getting built.

But all of us are so obsessed with writing our little piece of software so we can get our piece of the VC pie that it's happening maddeningly slowly. C'est la vie I guess.
There isn't a free software license for that (because such a restriction makes your software proprietary). Also, creative commons licenses are not well-suited to software (they don't consider certain intricacies about derived works, for example) and they explicitly do not provide users of your software any protection from patents.

A question you should consider is why you want to charge for the use of your software. Many companies are happy to pay for licenses, where you can just sell them an identical copy of your software. In addition, you can provide support for your software (adding features, fixing bugs).

I agree with you, but remember that the accoutrements of branding are only a part of the picture. The products you provide (diversity, quality, uniqueness), the service you provide, the ambiance of the store/location/website, (yes) price, and as others have suggested, the story behind the store all weave together to form this thing we call brand. The more all of these elements can come together and compliment and reinforce each other, the stronger the brand message.

I think Georgette Packaging can be an enabler for smaller businesses to cost effectively address some of these branding issues, but by itself, it will only be a part of a rather larger picture. This isn't to say their business plan is lacking or that they're offering something that will fail their customers... on the contrary I'm very happy to see someone offering this sort of thing at low volumes and do think there are a number of small entrepreneurs in the space that Georgette is targeting that will make good use of the Georgette products.

On the other hand, Georgette may want to also look at suggesting ways to fill in those other parts of brand identity cost effectively or even partner with others (biz dev relationship sort things) that can get their customers across the branding finish line in areas more than just packaging. If Georgette gets some success, my guess is otherwise lost shop owners will Google their way to good deals on packaging, but may not know where to start on other parts of their identity... even a simple blog could help with ideas.

They will have done a good job covering themselves against class-action lawsuits with the arbitration clauses in the EULA. But one area where I imagine they're vulnerable is when an individual user who was force-fed Windows 10 loses access to some important third-party software or hardware that for whatever reason doesn't work with 10.

Imagine being Stephen Hawking. You wake up one morning to find you've been "upgraded" to Windows 10, and your assistive speech hardware no longer works. That will blow away anything in the EULA, as far as any judge is concerned.

The degree of irresponsibility required to pull something like this is simply staggering.

"Shouldn't private control of one's own data be a basic right in this day and age?"

That's what's driving me (and us)! :) We need to regain control over our own data and become first class citizen in this digital age (and yes also in the monetary aspect of it). Our hypothesis is: if you make it beautiful, easy to use and fun & given a similar feature set, people will go with what gives them more individual freedom. So thank you - for rooting for us!! :)
It works well for me.

That does not comport with the high-profile extradition and prosecution of a teenager who was lured into translating documents for a fake terrorist organization. The FBI trumpets their results, even the most trivial concocted results. If they stopped a terrorist plot, there would be a press release. There is no hidden cache of thwarted terrorists going unprosecuted.

The terrorist problem is exactly as we see it. Tiny.

A few hundred years is really not that long to prove a social system. Previously banks created their own currencies - this system allows them to create the currency. The "safety" is the elimination of direct feedback, which allows problems to accumulate and creates a "too big to fail" situation. A lack of bank runs is fantastic, but when the run finally occurs on USD it will not be pretty.
There are 2 ways to look at that...

Ask HN: What is your theft protection/retrieval strategy for your laptop?
I currently use two laptops: a Thinkpad with two drives that double boots into Ubuntu & Win7 respectively(each with encrypted home/user folders), and a Mac with two FileVault2 encrypted volumes in separate disks (one for OSX and the other for SuperDuper backups).

On the Thinkpad I manually change boot drives in the BIOS (which is pswd protected) whenever I use my Linux setup, but by default it will boot into Win7 where I have a guest account to use as bait in parallel with PreyProject. On the Mac side though, my theft strategy is less effective as PreyProject does not work on the Guest account (this last point is making me think of switching from FDE to just encrypting my home folder).

I also have stickers (courtesy of Casey Neistat) on both machines that say "Please do the right thing and return if lost to: my name & a burner phone"

I'm curious to know how you would improve on what I do and what your strategies are. Cheers.
The IE security upgrade with the Windows 10 ads went out in the same push that seems to have turned on more aggressive auto-upgrade behaviour, so lots of people -- including media -- are conflating the two.

From what I understand these could be 320GB drives that were rejected because they had too many bad sectors, but still had over 314GB of usable storage. Manufacturers usually don't, but they can definitely control in firmware --- down to individual sectors --- how much usable capacity a drive has. A drive that didn't make 320 would likely be cut down to 250. They don't do it more granular than that because it would either mean a proliferation of models of very similar capacities, with the associated complexity of stock-keeping, or they'd have to sell drives where e.g. 320GB would mean a guaranteed minimum and you might get a 321, 325, or 323GB unit. (The early PC hard drives that came with a list of bad sectors physically printed on them were like this --- some would have more, and some would have less, but they'd all be within a few KB of a "nominal" capacity.)

I wonder if they made this one exactly 613,592,315 sectors...

> A wrongful arrest is more like an arrest with no warrant and no evidence

Like arresting someone when they have evidence the person they're arresting didn't do the crime?
Yes, they've been isolated and deceived, but don't be too quick to mock them. Your own worldview is probably not nearly as accurate and complete as you think it is. (Nor mine.)
Even with politics (and by extension, war). The opposition will be routinely pitching stories to counter whoever is in power.

A huge percentage of stories are pitched by PR companies. I once shared office space with a PR company and saw how much it happened; it's eye-opening. The story in the careers lift-out of the paper - pitched as a profile for a new CEO of their client. The article about working from home, pitched to get a mention for the new consultancy client.

I would say that crime stories might be some of the only ones unaffected. But even then, the stories about crime statistics can be pitched - the giveaway will be a quote from security screen manufacturers or an industry rep.

Drive-by-upgrade... Happened to my wife's Windows 8 computer late last week with no warning. She was puzzled to wake up to a computer that had been upgraded without asking her. Then she couldn't use our home printer. So she went to work to print something. But then she couldn't use the work WiFi.

I know that her Windows 10 experience will be better than her terrible Windows 8 experience, but this seems clearly to be a maneuver to minimize the Software Support Reserve line on the Income Statement.

I'm all for upgrading users from a crappy Windows 8 to a nice Windows 10. That said, my wife is a reasonably sophisticated user and she didn't notice any significant notification before her computer was upgraded.

[... And, when I talked with her about the upgrade, she mentioned that she was now getting toolbar pop-ups asking her "How likely are you to recommend Windows to a friend?" WTF.]
Eh. I just turn updates off. It solves the issue sufficiently.
It's mentioned in the footnotes of one of the pictures.
The upgrade notification system does make the effort to check against known-bad hardware and software, including 3rd party software, and will warn and/or block the upgrade if it's known to be incompatible.

As for managed machines, most won't be eligible for the upgrade to begin with (domain joined, Windows 7 Enterprise), and the upgrade can be blocked entirely via Group Policy or WSUS. Any sensibly managed machine in the environments you mentioned won't be automatically upgraded.

Yes, the compatibility checks aren't perfect, and yes, making sure the update isn't rolled out to managed machines requires that they actually be managed, just like any other update Microsoft publish. But it's unfair to say they make 'no effort' to support these scenarios.
It's not looking very good, from a couple of days ago: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/26/us/politics/obama-administ...

The pictures are not bad, but the captions are incredibly cringe and condescending. Of course he would not bother to tell us how to disable the delete in the firmware. Seriously, I mean, thousands of people have gone on these state-sponsored package tours in North Korea and we see the same set of trains, roads, hotels and attractions that they have really got boring.

One photography project I do found interesting is the set below commissioned by Getty Images. The photographers they hired found a loophole in their visa conditions, managed enter NK from Russia and reached Pyongyang on trains rarely used by tourists. They were able to interact more with the locals since the border guards as well as people en route have not been "coached" to speak to foreginers and the whole thing came out feeling much more genuine than these tourist flicks.

Who Is Afraid of Non-Convex Loss Functions?
Is there any evidence this isn't just a bug? I admin several Win7 machines at work, and haven't seen this behavior on any of them. I didn't do anything to prevent automatic updates, or otherwise disable a path to Win10 (they all have the upgrade available).

I can see how someone could accidentally install Win10, since windows update has it automatically selected, but I have yet to see a machine just restart itself and start installing Win10. The machines I have upgraded to Win10 took many clicks to actually install - I can't imagine Microsoft would intentionally let users skip the EULA at the very least.

My gut says at least half the people have accidentally initiated this update and half are experiencing a bug -- my counter anecdata says this is NOT being pushed to all Win7 users with automatic updates enabled.

"Too big to fail" has nothing to do with fractional reserve banking. All banks work the same way, but the vast majority are not too big to fail. And, many of the too big to fail financial institutions are not banks.

Banks in total provide about 20% of the total credit in the U.S. Even if they were perfectly risk-free, you'd still have the other 80% to worry about.

If you're worried about fractional reserve banking, you're worrying about the wrong thing IMO.
You're book is great for getting up to speed with tmux basics. The intro to tmuxinator was also pretty helpful.

One of the bigger things I think people miss is copying text into and out of tmux panes, including to the clipboard. This saves me a lot of time switching between windows often, especially using the vi keybindings. Although one thing I wish tmux did better was handling things like dividers.
But if high school science insight seems to shoot down a popular math article, it's probably right. Popular articles on technical subjects (all subjects?) simply aren't very good and trivia involving digits in base-10 is exactly the sort of thing that the popular press loves to fawn over.

I think that's what the original commenter was getting at: it's not that the actual discovery is suspect, it's that the article presenting it was—even though the discovery itself is interesting.

Chargebacks have nothing to do with credit limits. If you send a transaction online (which any fixed terminal would always do), it will be checked against credit limits.

Chargebacks are different. Chargebacks are when the customer alleges that the bought item doesn't satisfy it's intended function. Say you buy a chinese 2T harddrive and it turns out to have a 2GB SD card inside with firmware that fakes the free space.

Chargebacks really suck for merchants, because

1) recovering the item is the responsibility of the merchant. The bank won't help with that. In most cases, neither will the police. That leaves private sector "loan collectors" and "repo men" but they're not free, meaning a supermarket wouldn't do it for almost any item.

2) there's a cost associated with a chargeback, to be carried by the merchant. In other words, you sell $10 to customer, he complains, you get to pay $15 back to the bank (the 5$ is a ballpark amount, it varies)

The costs for this were initially carried by the banks in order to get the mail-order economy going. But now banks have the ability to impose terms on their merchant customers, so they're forcing merchants to accept onerous demands.

I think that this supermarket store is trying to get a judgement based on a basic legal principle, which doesn't often work. But the basic principle is that contracts should not be "one-sided". If one side is able to impose any terms on the other side, those clauses aren't enforceable.

I wish them good luck, because this is really hard to get a judgement for. And frankly, I hope they win just because they're a small merchant taking on a large bank. Those guys really could use some serious judgments against them. That said, their chances seem slim.
Visiting a country with concentration camps is morally reprehensible. His visit helps to finance and prop up the deplorable North Korean regime.

You can only hide it for as long as they don't refresh that update. Once they make a change to KB3035583 it won't be hidden anymore and, if they make it important at the same time, guess what's going to happen?

I've "hidden" KB3035583 half a dozen times in the last year (even posting here about how ridiculous this all was and being promptly flamed to ashes). It always comes back eventually.
I disagree. They don't need to go up. Money will keep exchanging hands, which is all that's needed for a living economy, despite what interest rates are.

Housing prices will always inflate to the level where people can barely pay them, but will pay because they have to.
