I wish I could upvote this about 30 times. For every real Windows security expert slash power user in the wild, there's about 30 pimple-encrusted besotted teenagers out there who just want to run some warez on their parent's computer and will click whatever setting, run whatever software and make whatever Registry edits are necessary to get the game their parents won't buy them up and running.

The typical home user is not a sysadmin, doesn't want to be a sysadmin and will not put in the effort to be a sysadmin. Microsoft is building Windows to be safe for them. This is a net good for all of us. And underneith it all, Windows is still Windows, which puts it miles ahead of its real competitors (Android, iOS and I guess ChromeOS) in terms of allowing users to really own their device.
I got 6 weeks paternity leave. I wasn't allowed to take it all at once but hey, it's something. We also extend benefits to adopting families like nvidia is doing.
Very different. Their text focuses on the connections between stochastic systems, information theory, and machine learning/discrete models in mathematics, whereas the one you linked is purely about statistics and machine learning from a classical perspective.

Did we? There's a quite a bunch of lawsuits going on right now regarding that topic.
Once again: I am not discussing bee diets. I brought up canola because (a) it's the crop discussed in the study we're commenting on, and (b) it's the worst-case scenario for bee exposure to neonicotinoids (virtually all canola crops are treated).

In fact: the idea that bee colonies would be stressed by a diet solely of oil rape nectar (note: no commercial bee colonies have such a diet, because they're moved around to take advantage of growing seasons elsewhere) favors my argument: it's another way in which bees working canola crops should do far worse, given neonic exposure, than they actually do.
I really, really like the clock visualization. Makes me wish for a desktop utility with just the clock.
OpenStack is open source. It can be forked, modified, whatever. Let me know when you manage to build your own AWS cloud with Amazon's software and then I'll entertain the thought that they are comparable.
Framed this way, I cant believe there is no class action lawsuit. I remember my mother in law said she was being asked to upgrade from 8.1. She said she didn't want to. I actually willingly installed win 10, and was across the country. She then called me one day and said "windows 10 installed anyway and I clicked the X to get out of it". At the time I just chalked it up to user error, but thanks MS, now I owe my mother in law an apology.
This is genius. Synthetic lethality for lawyers ;-)
My wife had to take unpaid FMLA. I got 6 weeks paid. They even noticed she took 3 days too long and made a big deal out of it requiring her to come back exactly then end of the allowed FMLA time. This is still a step in the right direction. Plus giving birth is a little bit more difficult than my job as a dad.
I have lost work on Windows 10 because it doesnt seem possible to not have it restart after an update. This behavior being a default from the Windows "Professional Edition" boggles my mind.
Personally I prefer to wait until technology is battle tested before adopting. New technologies are for side projects imo. If I had to categorize myself I would say early-late majority on this graph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations#/medi...)

Things we consider industry standard though, why should you need to fight for it? An example I can think of, dependency injection. Ideally you can test your software better and realease more reliable builds. Believe it or not I do come across companies that still are not aware of these concepts. Introducing it would be possible without breaking anything because you can continue instantiating services the old fashioned way.

With newish stuff that's still changing, if it won't impact production (i.e., tooling) I'm up for adopting it earlier than usual.

One example I can think of is javascript bundling and packaging. This would not impact production, but will have a pretty big impact on feature integration between team members and rate of completion. In MVC you need to hand type up the path of all your JS files and stick them into bundles. Not bad, not great either. Instead you could take your flavor of package management and have that bundle and minify your js files for you automatically.

I've been around government contracting and when you see problems that come up a lot, that we have industry standard solutions too, it's hard not to feel frustrated. I get where you're coming from though, just sharing my experience :)

How Imperfections Could Bring Down Michelangelo’s David
I totally agree with this and have done it myself. I've also been on the receiving end of this when I actually do know the market / tools better than the consultant and I actually do know exactly what I want, and the consultant has tried to brush me off. That does not end well for them. Just a word of caution to take extra care to know the background of the person you're talking to before starting down this path :)

What you call a "problem" I call the fundamental strength of a network like Freenet over IPFS. If you can impose your moral beliefs on what content ought to be available on other users of the network, then the network is useless. Controversial and unpopular speech is the exact kind of content that these networks must be designed to support. If they can't do that, then they fail their primary purpose.
Unlikely for all of it to be within the U.S.
The "victim" increased the crime intentionally to make more money. The cost of dealing with the increase was shouldered to taxpayers. They also were put at increased risk of physical harm. I think that means there's two victims: Walmart and taxpayers. That's why the one city declared Walmart a nuisance. They weren't allowed to externalize their problem onto others for free anymore. Once economics changed, suddenly Walmart decided it knew how to reduce crime. Which it did.

Is it really an End User License Agreement when Microsoft worked hard to circumvent your desire not to have Windows 10 in the first place. I would think that the change to the red close this box X would be somewhere in exhibit A to F in any class action.
Discrimination is a non-issue here. The mother undergoes a medical procedure / event (giving birth). The father does not.

So the one giving birth gets 22 weeks. The father gets 12 weeks. The mother of adoptive kids gets 12 weeks.

I see no issue here. There are differences between the sexes and catering / supporting those differences doesn't automatically mean discrimination.
Yes I read them all, but I'm not sure you read your own.

That makes sense, at least as long as the vector- or matrix-valued objective behaves somewhat. I guess I've been using this all along (with transformations to enforce proper behavior) for matrix and tensor completion anyways... Hmm. I just didn't implement it terribly elegantly!

Now that I think about it, all of the methods I've ever seen for matrix-valued time series fits (i.e. multiple measurements at multiple sites per time point) are Bayesian. That's about the most irreducible constrained optimization problem I can think of in this setting.

Differentiating Communication Styles of Leaders on the Linux Kernel Mailing List [pdf]
That strategy can be viable; it's discussed in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-objective_optimization#N...

As is suggested there, though, implementing this no-preference strategy requires some clean rescaling of the component functions in order to yield equal significance for all of them. If you have such a rescaling, that's outstanding; however, as I suggested in the section of the article dealing with the impact of the choice of currency, rescaling a problem may be a difficult proposition. This is especially true for problems that aren't as simple as the toy problem I've proposed here.
To follow on from your excellent second point - "actually be involved in the conversation"

People understandably don't appreciate if you're parroting back to them what they said (even paraphrased) so that you can appear to be an "active listener".

The reason to repeat what someone said exactly (useful in case you legitimately just missed an important phrase) or paraphrase is because you didn't fully understand what they said and you genuinely want to understand the point. Asking follow-up questions to drive discovery and enjoyment is next.

Being a good listener is about being humble, respectful and present. Turns out that's easier said than done.
I'm a guy who just had a baby. I'm a pretty hands-on father. However, I have no problem for birth-givers (i.e. biological mom) getting more leave than men. In fact, it is a shame how bad mat leave is in most places. Even in Canada, it isn't full income replacement for a year .. there are a bunch of caveats.
It is great on my Samsung Galaxy S. If I zoom in, long lines simply reflow to fit the screen. It means that I can dynamically adjust the font size to suit any accessibility needs or situation.

I can't seem to find any language guide or specification, so it's not clear to me whether names (other than those made canonical already by HTML and Lisp) are meant to be in English or French. If the former, then 'serie' should be 'series' (or 'range' or otherwise).

EDIT: For example, the image http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/alphawiki_2/data/lambdatalk_splas... from the talk linked at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12306246 appears to have both 'title' and 'titre'.
I am going to ramble. Just move on if you don't care to hear the ramblings of a 62 year old development manager.

I'm pretty docker ignorant. I think I get it in concept. I manage >150 web sites (~15,000 pages total) that are php based with eXist-db and oracle (overkill but forced to use it) for database backends. My team develops on mac os x and pushes code to RHEL. We have never had a compatability problem between os x and RHEL except for some mgmt scripts in bash that were easily coded around.

Big data to me is a 400 MB apache log file.

I go home grateful I don't have to be in the buzz word mix.

I do read a lot about technology and over time that informs some changes like using apache camel for middleware, splunk for log file analysis yada dada...

I have had bosses that brought me buzz word solutions that don't ever match the problems we have. I hate that but right now I am not in that position. My boss leaves technology decisions to us.

Least you think we are not modern at all we do use a CDN, git and more.

Some days I get anxiety from reading HN, feeling stupid. Some days I get a lift from HN from reading articles like this one and the comments.

I am so glad I'm not in the business of chasing technology.
Agree 100%.

I've worked both in a traditional environment (I drop the kids off at daycare before work, and pick them up afterwords), and a remote work environment (I walk into my office, the kids are on the other side of the door, in the care of a nanny).

I feel more guilt being in the same house as my kids, and not being involved, than I did with them at a separate daycare.

It's nice when I eat lunch or take a break, to be able to walk out and hang out with my kids. It's not nice when I'm on a conference call, and I can hear the wailing on the other side of my (well-sound-insulated) door when someone stubs a toe, and feel guilt that I'm not involved.

On site, but separated, child-care is I think the ideal solution for working parents and the workplace. It gives parents the ability to visit their children when they have a break, or need to breastfeed. It gives them a bit of space, so they don't feel obligated to be involved in the tens of minor-crises that occur every day in the life of a child.

It also keeps a bit of separation between "work" and "family" time, which even as a very involved father I feel is valuable.

It's a political 3rd rail. There are laws about discrimination based on sex in the US, but you generally get a lot of flack for pointing out the unfairness if it benefits women, which is mostly considered ok since it's making up for the many years that the discrimination went the other way (and I'm actually ok with that).

And to be fair, it's a hell of a lot harder on a birth mother than anyone else. You'll notice adoptive mothers in this policy only get the 12 week benefit too, so this one is already fairer than most.
That's very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Knowing Subaru, it would likely be a head gasket issue. They will continue to run with bad head gaskets for a while, but it's a pain to keep topping up the oil and coolant.

>But the Facebook discussions that do take place, in particular, tend to be more civil, most likely because users are required to use their own names (not that fake accounts don't get through, but there seem to be far fewer than the predominantly fake names that NPR commenters currently rely on).

I have not found this to be the case. Before I installed content blockers in my browser to block comments sections altogether, I was often taken aback by how many people made comments that included racial slurs and direct personal attacks on other users using Facebook accounts with their apparently real name and photo.

Probably a signal that the user base does not find those issues interesting.

Snowden because it's nothing we don't already know, and refugees or gender politics because they always degenerate into political (i.e. not interesting) mud slinging matches.

On a side note, if a community with the general high quality and good moderation of HN can't have a good discussion on those topics online, I'm inclined to believe that having same is just plain impossible.

Personally, my thought process upon seeing one of these articles is something like:

1) Ugh, another one. Let's check the comments..

2) As expected, a dumpster fire. Nobody even RTFA. Let's look at the article..

3) Nothing even remotely new or interesting. Who voted this up? Flag.
That article struck me as strange, it appears to take a really common phenomena (build for a market you understand) and turns it into a "China" thing. Apparently nobody at the times remembers when the "Internet" was practically a US only thing. All written in English, not a lot of support for non-English speakers (even Spanish!), massive assumptions about what time zone you might be in, Etc. And guess what, people in Germany making web sites had to choose to either make German sites for their audience or US centric sites to appeal to the big chunk of Internet users.

China is a market that is large enough by itself to be self supporting, just like the US market. So you can create an Internet business that is "China only" or "US Only" and be successful. And as the size of the markets are comparable your large China only Internet companies can be as large as US only Internet companies.

The interesting bit is that those markets are different enough that approaches in one don't work in the other. Like Google's version of search in China didn't work, nor did Uber's version of ride sharing. We can discuss regulatory hurdles, or society expectations, or technological differences, but at the core of all this they are two very different markets. So you need very different products and organizations to succeed in one or the other. I have yet to see a multi-national/international organization which has the flexibility to achieve that.

One of the most informative experiments so far has been Airbus. It is interesting to look at how it splits itself across countries and works to achieve a common purpose.

Seems interesting. I'll look at it again later.
could this be considered a success for the Transhumanism movement?
Funny, I had a very similar experience with my son's head, but it was that his fontanella closed earlier than expected. My conversation went more like this:

Doc: "well, when we see this thing, we're concerned it might be <1 min worth of big scary thing description>... but he doesn't have that."

Me: "Phew... so..."

Doc: "So then we're worried about <2 min worth of big scary #2>... but he doesn't have that."

Me: "Phew. hrmmm, so..."

Doc "So then we're worried about <big scary thing #3>..."

At which point I interrupted:

Me: "Doc, I realize there's a lot of big scary things. Does he have any of them?"

Doc: "No, I think he's fine, he just has a big head."

I think your version of that conversation was probably a lot more reassuring than mine.
This is all great, but I am not a typical home user and there is no option for me on the Windows Edition Menu. I can buy Home or Pro, that's it. Pro used to be the "I know what I'm doing" version but this is no longer the case. Enterprise let's you do whatever you want but requires far more investment and effort to run just so that I can control my computer.

Edit to reply to cwyers below me as I cannot reply further:

Do you honestly think that running your own Active Directory system, calling Microsoft Enterprise Sales, arguing with them and probably failing to buy a single Enterprise license, and ultimately buying a pack of Enterprise licenses I do not need is required of me to be "on the same Internet as you"? All I want is close to the level of control I can get on previous versions of Windows which pale in comparison to any Linux distribution. Does this mean that anyone using a Linux distro that doesn't automatically update shouldn't be allowed on your internet? Surely if your computer is always up to date you have nothing to fear?

I am unsure how you are equating me to an anti-vaxxer simply because I want to control how and when my computer updates. I don't believe I ever said I do not ever want an update, I want to know what they are and control when they are applied as is standard on every other OS I know of.

I am also not making any ideological argument to privacy. In fact, I don't care too awful much about the telemetry in Windows 10. I don't really like it but I almost exclusive use my Windows machine for gaming so there isn't much I'm scared of MS finding out about there. I simply want to control how my computer works.
I see so many people stuck in the gaming situation and there are no practical solutions, the only way out involves an entire industry changing direction together. I'd like to see a video card manufacturer (probably AMD since they seem to be the underdog in a 2 dog fight) start a Linux-first campaign, even if it's only for select cards.
While some gap in paid maternity vs paternity leave is permissible as women uniquely have to recover from a childbirth (considered short-term disability), courts have found 6-weeks as the typical recovery time and thus the typical allowed difference in maternity/paternity leave duration [1]. Nvidia's clearly understands this issue - adoptive and foster parents parents receive the same leave as paternity (no disability for these groups of course).

How are they've overcoming the legal issues around offering a 10-week difference in maternity/paternity leave?

This is the reason why i moved to linux.
The path this "new" microsoft have choosen, if they continue to do this, they will certainly lose their market share on PCs in near future and I hope when users will start caring about their rights and privacy, they will move to other OSes.
Yeah I think there's a step missing in their description. I think you had to start the install process, then try to cancel out of it by pressing X.
It looks deep but unmotivated. That doesn't mean there's no motivation, but I'd like it communicated to me more clearly: why should I value the material of this book being put together all in one place?
No I get that but I now have to look at it three times. Say I am using some feature, f, then I have to go check the case where the browser supports @supports but not @supports(f), supports @supports(f) and does not support @supports, since the styling changes are not all in isolation.

Now to make it even crazier say we have another feature f1 that somehow impacts the case of @supports(f). We'll need to check five different cases (@s(f) + @s(f1), !@s(f) + @s(f1), etc...). It seems like I might as well just find the minimum feature set I can use and just go ahead with that. Anything more and there would be too much mental work for me.
This is the first coherent refutation of the "do one thing well" ethos I have ever read. Thanks for putting into words what I haven't been able to express myself.
