What a bunch of horse-hocky. First, the subsidies are tax credits, which means if you are in the lowest plans because your income is so low you can only afford the lowest plan, you still have a $2K deductible, have to pay about 1/6 of your income for insurance, and even though you will have no money taken out of your paycheck due to the future credits, the IRS holds it against you when you try to claim ETC on your 1040. No wonder people just say fu*k it; I'll just pay the penalty.
IBM and Slack Partner to Bring the Power of Watson to Developers
So I've not tried enough windows touchpads to comment on that, but from what I've seen there's quite a few Windows laptops with higher res screens than 1080p

e.g.

Dell XPS 13 - can have a 3200x1800 screen

Lenovo Carbon X1 - can have a 2560x1440 screen

HP Elitebook G3 - Can have a 2560x1440 screen

Microsoft surface book - 3000x2000 screen

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 - 2736 x 1824 screen
If you looked at the assembly code, though, there still is a branch (aka an if statement) -- it's just hidden inside the "choice" function.
You say that. But then you start on the slippery slope to this:

As jonathankoren says, the municipal ones rolling out Internet are pretty much all offering better speeds, cost, and service. Further, that Comcast and AT&T are paying legislators millions of dollars to make this illegal shows they would rather intentionally sabotage their customers for profit than benefit them with competition's effects. If private sector was better, they'd welcome the competition with these tiny towns and cities then crush them in the marketplace with superior offerings.

They don't have superior offerings, though. Not at the margins they want. ;)
That Java 9 feature would definitely be amazing. I agree, Swift is nowhere near the maturity of the Java ecosystem.

yeah. I haven't used and won't probably use this device but marketing wise, it's exactly same as what Apple does. that makes sense to get downvotes though since 99% of this thread's audiences are Microsoft zombies :)
Pretty much nailed it in the first line :-)

I prefer the shorter version for being shorter, and for generalizing the update point at the end (and giving it a name), which stresses that there will be an update (delete).

Alas, most of my coworkers would prefer the "explicit" version with all of the extra lines.

Well, it's not really an application, is it? It seems like a fancy way of saying, "the stuff I'm working on isn't good for anything - it's just to satisfy my intellectual curiosity". Which is fine as far as it goes, but not exactly inspiring.

PayPal password change – word of warning
I have just had a very unpleasant experience with changing my PayPal account password. After copying my new 32-character password from my password generator/manager and pasting into PayPal's password box, it was truncated to maximum (20) number of characters. Of course, no message about that fact was displayed so I unknowingly set my new password to the 20-character one.

After several unsuccessful attempts to log in trying my brand new 32-character password (yes, login password entry box doesn't limit the password length!), I had to go through the password recovery process.

Not fun at all.

It even has a version of their ergonomic keyboards, something that I cannot really understand with Apple, how can one even manage to program in such flat keyboards.

Apple, one of the first companies to introduce ergonomic keyboards to the world.
> Uh, isn't there a pretty well-established link between negative self-image / negative feelings and potentially self-destructive / self-harm type behaviors?

More than that. There's a pretty well-established link between long-term heavy stress and a huge number of health issues. Definitely heart problems, but IIRC also immune system health and strokes, and perhaps even cancer.

If you don't believe me, no, I don't have any documentation handy...
I do live in the terminal, and I couldn't be happier with Bash on Windows. I use the XFCE terminal connected to a local X server and it's the same experience I get on Linux.

I thought further up it mentioned that it starts with the permissions of the files in the tarball, then grabs process.umask (of the npm-tarball subprocess maybe?) and then overrides the execute bit. If that is correct, that is 2 layers of questionable permissions being applied leading to non-deterministicness.

I find all the terminology and tooling around .NET Core... confusing.

Ask HN: Why does Google get away with such bad recruiting practices?
Recently I've been through the on-site interviews at Google and had a terrible experience. The recruiter went silent after my on-site and my calls are directly going to voicemail. The on-site was a month ago and I've heard nothing regarding my status. I've shared this experience with some of my friends, and they've all had similar experiences. My question is - how is Google getting away with such bad recruiting practices? I've never had a company not call me back after I took a day off work to interview, even if it is bad news! Shouldn't bad recruiting practice like this hurt the company's reputation? And shouldn't people be more hesitant to apply to companies knowing that they will be treated badly?
Well, if it's the typical person who does pitch "Facebook for Farmers", I'd say the fear is kinda rational, as those people never intend to do any of the work. They just had the idea, and now you need to go make it happen.

There is a HUGE difference between the two.

> Binney was a Russia specialist and worked in the operations side of intelligence, starting as an analyst and ending as a Technical Director prior to becoming a geopolitical world Technical Director. In the 1990s, he co-founded a unit on automating signals intelligence with NSA research chief Dr. John Taggart. Binney's NSA career culminated as Technical Leader for intelligence in 2001. Having expertise in intelligence analysis, traffic analysis, systems analysis, knowledge management, and mathematics (including set theory, number theory, and probability), Binney has been described as one of the best analysts in the NSA's history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Binney_(U.S._intellige...

William Binney is a heavyweight (NSA Technical Director), an insider, Russia expert (especially regarding SIGINT).

I don't see that Thomas Rid has done anything but teaching and writing while working for various USG affiliated think thanks. While that might be admirable in itself, what credibility does he have regarding the expertise or the inner workings of US or Russian intelligence? I don't see much, even when not compared to Binney.

Another difference: By working for USG affiliated think thanks (RAND Corporation, SWP), Rid is just another exceptionally well paid [1] alibi provider for the imperial politics the US oligarchy leads. And that makes him very biased, which in turn makes his writing very biased. So biased in fact, that it insults my intelligence. How are the Esquire editors so stupid not to think that I will take Rid's name, Google it and find out (in less than five minutes!) that he's a shill?

[1] Normal professors cannot afford to live "in the Barbican in the City of London". And he even has chuzpe to brag about it!

Peter Thiel apologizes for rape comments
Perhaps, but the author of the comment I quoted seemed to be performing the install over and over, on the same machine. I assume neither the tarball permissions nor the umask would be changing, so it's odd.

> Sweden simply does better, despite having to deploy more infrastructure to provide service.

While this is probably true in an absolute sense, Sweden is also a much smaller, more homogeneous country than the U.S.; I don't think governments scale very well, so a small affluent country can likely be more nimble and innovative than a large affluent country (think startups vs enterprises).
Yeah, super challenging. I keep refining my message, trying my best. Eventually I will crack the code of convincing enough folks to find what I did useful to get the snow ball rolling :D
The Surface Dial is a crazy puck that controls Microsoft's new PC
I agree, Microsoft has been really leading in innovation over the last few years, with the surface book last year and the studio this year. I have been really let down with Apple lately and their lack of willingness to innovate. Hopefully we will see something truly innovative from Apple on Friday, but I doubt it.
> Windows laptops, even on the high end, still tend to screens no better than 1080p and crappy touchpads.

Touchpads is true since most manufacturers don't use precision touchpad.

But the screen issue is definitely not true in the high end. Too many touch-enabled 4k displays when you max out a high-end config from dell/hp/lenovo.

Disclaimer: msftie.

I don't buy that, despite how much I hear it. there are a few situations I'd agree that if you don't have the first-to-market advantage you're basically fucked (social networking being a prime one, any system where network effect dominates). And while people cite apps as being the "network-effect-esque" factor in this case, I'm not sure I buy that. Looking at data of how many people NEVER use a single app, how many domains/specialties could use a "professional" phone without a broad app base, how many niches are untapped (constant laments from myself and others about how there are no small, robust, non-feature-obsessed "working mans smartphone") I truly believe there are ways into the market that are just fine to grow a sufficiently profitable business if you're simply OK with not trying to be the next iPhone RIGHT NOW. Maybe this ties back into the whole "vc doesn't want companies that _just work_, they want growth" mindset, but I fundamentally reject that as a philosophy so perhaps I'll never see eye to eye with the decision makers in this case.

(to clarify something for responders, all of the above is aligned as well with the implicit statement that you can't let investment slack; because then you lose your grassroots/what little mindshare you could have had to grow, take the above as "why I think a company should continue investment even in the current scenario")
I agree, lets only hire heterosexual, white, Christian males under 35 years old, and exclude all other candidates if we want to! </sarcasm>
Anything that is done at cost by the government is viewed by many as a lost potential profitable and taxable business; one that would drive up the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a well used measure of an economy. Problem with using GDP, in my limited understanding, is that taxing things, even your breathing air, increases the GDP - I'd rather it not.
And spend $2,500+ on what is essentially a fancy display? I doubt that any distro or app would support the gadgets that this comes with.
Well that further complicates it.

I'm not sure that the benefit of sending out a few Tweets outweighs the ill will among the book's potential audience requesting Twitter account access creates. It seems like a distraction based on the 'Twitter thing' dominating the discussion here in lieu of a conversation about the book's content and value to the reader.

Personally, I'm more likely to give attention to someone's organic Tweet than autogenerated marketing because it implies that the book is good at being a book. I don't really care about books that are good at social media and SEO.

In purely product terms, company's that care more about their brand than my 'brand' don't garner a high level of trust.

Good luck.
You can answer a call from a different device with the iPhone, right? It seems like there may be some similar routing that can theoretically happen.

While advantage Google has enjoyed is slimmer, I think it's a fallacy to think that technology has been commoditized.

Slight oversimplification, but Google's had basically S3/GCS and Hadoop since early 2000s, and basically Docker + Kubernetes for the past 10. This translates into real-world edge.

For example, how many big data tools have any one of the 15 characteristics of BigQuery that I described at [0]? Or how many companies have inter-data center networking that gives you a Petabit of bisectional bandwidth, described at [1], or how many cloud providers have live migration, custom VMs, or insane RAM-like local SSD? Or how many PaaS offerings can sustain a behemoth like Snapchat? Or a NoSQL that scales to 56 million qps with just a handful of engineers [2] ??

Edit: To add more color. In days past, Google would release papers (GFS, MapReduce, Bigtable, etc). With Google Cloud Platform we can just externalize these services (with a bit of customer-friendly bits like isolation, pricing, etc). Bigtable, BigQuery (Dremel), PubSub to name a few.

(clearly biased, since I work at Google)

Surface originally was a large windows tablet that doubled as a "table" it also had fancy sensors underneath that allowed you to do a couple of cool things and other way cooler things that never came to fruition.

Seems like it would have died off as a huge blundering $10k per table mess by Microsoft. Or as a badly thought out Windows RT Surface tablet. I would have liked another Surface table (one that actually got better support than a few WPF/Windows widgets) but I'd say now Surface is a huge brand for Microsoft with laptops/desktops.

But neither the U.S. nor Sweden puts fiber on every road and street. Only 60% of Swedish households have fiber, and you can reach that figure without serving households outside of relatively dense towns.

Also, it looks like you're counting Sweden's vast unpaved road network, which makes up about 75% of its roads. I bet very few of the 60% of households with fiber live on an unpaved road. If you compare paved roads only, the U.S. and Sweden have the same linear density. And even then, it's much less expensive to connect two dense urban areas at either end of a 100 mile road than to serve sparse suburbs and exurbs along a 100 mile stretch of road.

There are a lot of subpar Windows laptops out there, but there are at least some good ones to choose from.

Last year around Christmas, I picked up an Asus Zenbook for under $700CDN on sale. 3200x1800 touch screen, 8GB RAM, and a trackpad that works as well (to me, at least) as the one on my MacBook Air.

I was a little concerned that the Skylake Core m3 would be underpowered, but it hasn't felt slow during any of the dev tasks I've thrown at it. Benchmarks aren't always accurate, I know, but the ones I have run on both the Zenbook and my MBA show them to be about equal. It's not as fast as my 8 core, 32GB RAM desktop machine, but I don't expect it to be.

The HP Elite looks pretty neat. I'll have to try one next time I'm at the MS Store if they have one on display.
