Note that .NET Core is, more or less by necessity, much smaller than the full .NET framework. The latter isn't going anywhere or being deprecated. Think of Core as just another subset of APIs that happen to also work really well on other platforms. We had that already with Silverlight, Client Profile, and other things.

Since .NET 4 introduced a new runtime (just as .NET 2 did; due to that I'd also say that 4 was not just a minor upgrade) all subsequent versions so far run on the same runtime and just change the libraries. MS got a bit of complaints for a confusing versioning scheme: .NET 2, 3, 3.5 that all used the same .NET 2 runtime, but had different library capabilities. It seems to me that they are doing this better with .NET 4: Every 4.x version runs on the .NET 4 runtime. .NET 5 will likely do the same again, once it is released.

They also changed another part: All .NET 4.x versions are drop-in replacements for .NET 4.0. That's why, when you look in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework directory, you see v1.0, v1.1, v2.0, v3.0, v3.5, but only a single v4.0, which on my machine is actually 4.6.(probably 1).

All this doesn't mean they cannot iterate on the runtime itself, though. Recently we got a new JIT for example, and I think the GC also got some upgrades. And keep in mind, this is the release announcement for .NET 4.6.2 – a minor upgrade over 4.6.1. Naturally you won't see major new features added.

> Plus several APIs turned out to vanish pretty quickly and are dragged along as legacy like WinForms, Silverlight, WPF, Managed C++, ManagedDirectX and its next incompatible iteration, SharePoint APIs, WinFS, etc. Plus the incompatible different API WinRT aka WinRunTime aka UniversalRuntime with various incompatibilities in WinPhone8, Win8 & 10.

Most of those are completely separate products and are not part of the .NET Framework. You can argue that Microsoft is happy to create new APIs and let them die, but the vast majority of those are not in the actual framework.

> In comparison Java is source compatible to at least v1.4,but in reality often back to Java 1.1 or 1.2.

Uhm, that very much depends on the features you use. Sure, if you eschew generics, auto-boxing, annotations, enums, foreach loops, and a lot of other language features. Especially 1.5 brought a lot of things that permeate many Java codebases. In 1.1 you'd have to live without collections, XML, regex, and a few other things. I don't doubt Java codebases exist that could meaningfully go back to that compatibility, but I'm not convinced they're that prevalent. (I know, especially in Enterprise, Java version uptake is slow. In my observation this currently amounts to Java 6 being the version usually used. Back when 6 was current, it was usually 1.4 and earlier.)

Thanks so much for about:memory and shift+esc ... I always forget about them.
I've been keeping an eye out for any such announcements, and from what I can tell, there is no current plan. They do have a GUI-toggle for it, so it should stay around at least for a little while, and with Mozilla even still supporting Windows XP, I think, it's valid to assume that they will continue supporting it even for a longer while, but yeah, can't seem to find anything official at this point.
They're both pink (a similar but not identical shade); one has "iu" and one has "in", both in white; one is a circle, one is a square. When I clicked the link I was initially confused because I thought it had actually taken me to Invision (which we use a lot), until I squinted and realised it was something else. I'm not saying they're identical, and I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but they are definitely similar to my eye.
Yes, an obvious and valid flaw, I don't know why you are being down voted. A car with a roof-rack word would prevent the bus passing, assuming the driver sees it. Not to mention cyclists.
Signal notifies you on key changes. Whatsapp has an option (I think) to do so.

Anyways the simple fix that might work somewhat is "alert the user". Telegram could tell the old user they have added a device. Or even require some time period where they wait for a response from the existing device, perhaps calibrated to their usage.

After registering a new device, a warning can be displayed to contacts for the first few messages. Maybe old messages are not accessible or something.

Credit is very different than bank accounts.

Without functioning consumer credit, some industries have a hard time.

A functional credit system is fairly essential.

Alibaba in some ways solved that problem by providing guarantees, escrow-ish stuff. More than anything 'credibility' is the value add in a region wherein there is/was little.
I've been here for 9 years and am leaving in a couple of weeks. China kicks butt only when compared to itself, but lags in almost everything else. Many Chinese solutions (wepay) are merely solving problems that the west didn't have (lack of bankcard use, no NFC infrastructure, security..well). On the other hand, the internet is absolutely 3rd world for anything international: I get better access in the Philippines or Indonesia. Just this morning, reddit and HN weren't working on my phone/@home for whatever reason I don't know.

And all the countries around China, I visit them often, they use none of China's internet stack. Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, are all very strong in SE Asia. This includes Chinese places around China, like HK, Taiwan, Singapore. If Chinese mobile innovation was so great...wouldn't they have even just a little bit of success outside of China?

> Cutting edge or not, the next century will be driven by China simply because the momentum that they have generated.

China will be continued to be driven by China, but the internet world has already began fragmenting into China and everyone else.

Merriam Webster defines talent as a special ability that allows someone to do something well. I agree with that definition. Usain Bolt is a naturally talented runner.

You said

>The major difficulty with the idea of "natural talent" is that every time someone points to a skill/whatever and says, "this is natural talent" someone else finds a way to teach that skill.

Can anyone be trained to run as fast as Bolt or would they have to be naturally talented in the first place to be trainable?

Uhm... Not sure about selling trains to China.

As far as I know, the modern trains that I've seen in China seem to be manufactured by Chinese companies.

The technology, if I am not mistaken, were transferred to China by Soviet Union and European companies post WW2 in a legal and friendly manner, i.e., they send their experts here to do manufacturing or China send some people overseas to learn about the technology.

And the same thing happened to Japan if I remember correctly, they were able to "learn" designs from the West and improve on it to build their railway system that is one of the best in the world.

I wonder if the reason roll-to-roll processes haven't caught on is that there is so much capital investment in IC/wafer processes at scale that the unit economics just don't add up (until/unless very large capital investments are made to scale up and refine margins on roll-printed circuits).

If this is the case, are there areas to attack the market? Any smaller markets which don't attract the attention of major electronics fab and might be delved to help bootstrap roll-printing? Any old/displaced technology areas that no longer have the advantage of large fabs/infrastructure investments where roll-to-roll processes could come online to replace them at competitive prices?

Any idea what it'd take, in terms of unsolved R&D and in terms of capital investment, to create a roll-to-roll process capability of printing some circuit that would be cost-competitive in some area like solar cells or maybe simple ICs?

But China invented the fruit lockers: you want fresh fruit, it gets delivered to a locker in your apartment everyday. I haven't tried it, but was a bit floored when I saw one.

We personally just have them leave packages at the wuye (apartment management), any high end apartment just has a counter that will keep your package for you, no need for a locker solution.
Note that XAML is nothing more than a way of serializing object graphs to XML. WPF uses XAML (as do a bunch of others), but the objects created when parsing the XAML can be pretty much anything and all that is not tied to WPF in any way. Case in point: Our main product is a graph display and editing component, using GraphML as its native file format. We serialize visualization and business data attached to the graph as XAML, and while that particular code portion originated in the WPF branch, the format is the same, even in the Java product.

ApplePay is pretty nice, actually. China is great at low infrastructure easy to deploy solutions because it is still kind of a poor country, but the same solutions would never be accepted (or needed) in the west.
FB isn't responsible; they are a platform. The person broadcasting is "responsible". And even if they were, yes, why should that be a problem? At worst it'll be flagged mature (and deleted?).
Introduction of a gradual increase in property taxes, as well as a gradual decease in income taxes, even lower than zero if appropriate, would be the naïve, straightforward economic policy recommendation if the problem has been accurately described. Some details yo resolve would be the numerous people who were using their primary residence as their main investment for retirement, and deciding how to handle people who were improving properties in order to make a living.
As far as I know, QQ Space was way earlier than renren. It was renren that beat QQ Space. Many of my friends followed the migration path of QQ Space -> renren -> WeChat.
Great book but IIRC that should be "Systemantics."
Oh yeah, I should have qualified that with "developing applications in non-native code for native platforms doesn't have much appeal from a user perspective". ie: it would be great if the Official Account apps available through WeChat were native (and users would like that) but they're not; broadly speaking, webviews are typically less appealing than native layout. I 100% agree that the tight integration of services is a big win from the perspective of a user.
> The bottom line, East Asia has the highest average IQ on the globe, and China produces almost 4x engineer degrees each year of what US has.

The quality of most of those degrees is lacking. If you look at high quality output, then China lags the US; many Chinese students still dream of heading to the states for grad school.

> the monetary difference between an average road and a really great road is not nearly as much as the difference between an average system and a really great system.

Pick another profession then. How about customer support? The difference between an average support person and a really great one can be millions of dollars of revenue. But they are paid peanuts because it's women's work, not like the manly engineering which obviously creates more value... nevermind that novice engineers often create negative value by creating liabilities that can cost the company millions, while still getting paid more than the highest paid customer support people.

The truth is, you are just assuming the people making the roads have nothing to offer in terms of outstanding value, because that's your preconceived notion. You already decided they were worth less than you, even though you never bothered to check. Never bothered to measure. Never bothered to ask.

If you really believed in your value, you wouldn't be afraid of a system where people are paid what they are worth to the company. Instead you hide behind "market rates" because market rates are good to you. But markets are flawed, we've seen it over and over. There's a lot of money in rigging markets, and the salary market is no exception.

I think you may be misinformed. You can build an app and install it using VS. You don't even need VS, apps are just exe's in zip files. Compile and lay it out right and you're done. The Store isn't required to do any of that, so I don't know what the "UWP backend" is. You might look at Hockey app (pre acquisition) for evidence of an app distributor that wasn't Microsoft.

>I could see a system wherein your net income is taxed proportionally in each territory where you actually have expenses.

More straightforwardly, you could proportionally tax the territory itself. Preferably through some kind of land-value tax. This neatly avoids needing to dissect companies for revenue that can easily be booked in whatever jurisdiction they want it. Instead, just look at the boundary points where Facebook interacts with America: paying for the right to use American land and citizens.

It's happening to countries all around the pacific rim (well, without being too rude, all the stable countries).

Chinese money is land-banking in Vancouver, US north west, Australia, and Auckland in nz.

and countries don't dear stop it because it will tank the real-estate bubble too quickly (it'll go before the tech bubble anyway). But if it does it will actually be good for the economies because capital tied up in unused land is worthless to the economy.

If "using technology" means having a smart phone on which you message, check Facebook, hail a taxi, and play games then I don't think there is any correlation. Or maybe it varies by country.

2.) Reign in creative businesspeople: when I start to get ads on the login screen of my Windows Pro licensed machine without even being asked then somebody needs to learn about eating and having cake.
I spent some time with Mono/.NET last year. It worked fine, but not everything was implemented. Specifically, we had some members on the team (the architect being one of them) who liked to include cutting edge features from .NET, that didn't work on Mono (he also had decided to write a large chunk of code in Silverlight, but that's a different story).

The short is: if you're going to do Mono, make sure that you're always having at least one person on the team doing Mono, otherwise there's a moderate chance that you'll lose the ability to run on Mono.

Also, stay away from entity framework. Some people might disagree, but we had problems with it and I hate that framework.

Well, this new incident will certainly help justifying new killings of policemen. It will make other people who were already close to the line, now cross it. In that sense, nothing comes for free.

It looks to be working MUCH better for me, just tried it again, as the last time I tried it (just a couple months ago) it was slow as molasses, and didn't work with lastpass, now it seems to be working with it, which I appreciate to say the least (though it still won't fill the form, may try the FF plugin directly if there is one).

It also seems to have cleaned up their tabbed interface, closer to current chome (though I actually preferred having chrome tabs with the app views). May also give the current Opera another look. All in all, much improved even in just the past 3-4 months or so since I last tried it.
