I am happy to use Office in wine, as it gives me a very stable experience, full unicode supports even with my Xorg keymaps.

I use Visual Studio in wine - not as good as Office, but still very good.

I have a Windows phone, a priced relic since Microsoft abandoned them. Rock stable, last for a week in airplane mode.

I have a Windows 10 LTSB in a separate partition. Initially I just wanted to test it out. Now I consider running it in KVM for Visual Studio, in case I want more than what wine can now offer.

Hell, I am considering replacing my Thinkpad by one of Microsoft surfaces. As soon as it runs Linux as well as a Thinkpad, can get 32G of RAM, a user replacable SSD, wifi and lte module, I buy one. Seriously, even if the keyboard is not as good. And given Microsoft new focus on developpers, I wouldn't entirely dismiss the idea of a Surface Developper, bulkier but sturdier and user upgradable.

People say "hell froze over". I don't care. I look forward for more change from Microsoft. Because their tools are innovative again.

This still seems like a valid statement:
"Their opposition was based on a “lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim.”"

It seems like the new judge ruled for it because,
“[their] action is of a different order than the typical environmental case. It alleges that defendants’ actions and inactions—whether or not they violate any specific statutory duty—have so profoundly damaged our home planet that they threaten plaintiffs’ fundamental constitutional rights to life and liberty.”,
emphasis on constitutional right to life and liberty. Although that may be true, I am having trouble seeing as to how this may pertain solely to the Federal Government; It is possible to amend the constitution with an environmental specific amendment, but it would have to go through the legislative branch; I see nothing wrong with that. But looking at article 1 section 8 of the constitution, I do not see as to how this solely pertains to the Federal Government alone? Keep in mind that this country is a democratic republic and not a democracy; the federal government should be subject to the states rule, not an entity on its own.
The funny thing is that the alt right (at least from the Trump campaign onwards) is based on the idea that if you're not an extremist, you're a "cuck". So, while it isn't a clearly defined ideology, it is a group seeking increasingly more extreme ideologies as time passes.

Twitter's move reduces their platform and reach but increases their cultural cachet — they're becoming the Certified Opposition to all of society's ills.

The anti-innovation backlash is here.

Shiv Sena, the racist party of Maharashtra, has also been pushing luddism mixed with racism. No Biharis should get an auto driver license, and they want to stop technology (Uber, Ola) from allowing Biharis/etc to compete via other means.

Well, yes, because those countries / continents are historically white. Just like an African museum would be "black people", since Africa is historically black.

git and mercurial are a million times more clever than a state-of-the-art DCVS like bitkeeper. It's a new data structure. It's a brilliant data structure. It's robust in ways even distributed databases aren't. It's fast. It's simple. It's clean. It's elegant.

git made several additional breakthroughs in terms of working in terms of snapshots instead of diffsets, keeping much less data, and performing many computations late rather than early. In essence, these result in a system infinitely more flexible and expandable than prior version control systems. Adding new ways to change the source code in CVS required a whole new data format (SVN). In git, that's a minor change.

The full power of git hasn't been anywhere close to exploited yet. The data model is very general-purpose, fast, and robust. It can do much more than just source control.

15 000$ Reward hacking challenge
There is another way to do it, without integrals and convolutions. Say player A has threshold a and player B has threshold b, a <= b. Write 3x3 table of Player A win probabilities for ranges 0 to a, a to b, and b to 1. It will have 1/2 on the diagonal, 1 below, 0 above.

After some simplification, total Player A win probabilty is (-ba^2 + (b^2-b+1)a +(b^2-b+1))/2. Find a that maximizes this probability for any given b by taking the derivative and setting it to 0, which would be a = (b^2-b+1)/2b.

The game is symmetric, so at Nash equilibrium a==b. Now solve a = (a^2-a+1)/2a to get the golden ratio.

The lift over naive 0.5 threshold is very small, though, less than 1%.

The issue with that is not that innovation is being stiffled though, it's rather an issue of privacy.

For instance, there's nothing in that sort of regulation that prohibits any innovation on encryption that would reconcile the user's reasonable expectation of privacy with the authorities' wish to have access to the user's communications.

And the issue of appropriate and adequate safeguards of such innovation so that the authorities themselves don't misuse it, is yet another issue altogether.

This opinion is extremely naive and ignorant. White people controlled history through imperialism and colonialism for centuries, and the histories were all written by white people. Of course all the other museums feature white people only, because in the western world white people were the dominant, oppressive class. It is important to preserve these stories and histories that would have otherwise been lost in a white narrative
Actually, the desire is to realize that everyone has prejudicial tendencies. It's a natural part of the human psyche. The desire is for people to know this about themselves and try to catch themselves before mistreating someone based on false prejudice. I.e. don't neglect to put the hot chile on a white persons order because they're white. it's the "because they're white/black/Asian/etc" part that causes issue.
Okay, still doesn't really explain how a "museum about the history of white people" doesn't exist, and is perceived differently.
Because, at least in the UK and US, white history forms the majority of a countries actual history.

Black history museums are interesting because they offer an insight into the achievements of a transplant group in a country where they are a minority. It's not really about their history prior to immigrating. It's about their history after they've gotten into this new country, and the story of their integration.

I don't think it has anything to do with race, it's a cultural thing - groups that identified with a common history in a strange land.

For example, in the UK, despite being also predominantly white, I'm sure there would be a remit for a polish history museum, or even an irish history musuem.

> Usually, the "liberal" response I get from my more left-leaning friends is somewhere along the lines of "POC have been mistreated, they can't be racist...

You should have asked your friends why a black person can't be racist, because to most white people it's an absurd proposition. So allow me to explain a bit here.

Racism, unlike what we mostly think, is not a state of mind or an emotion. Racism is a sociological system that transcends the intentions of any one individual. In case US history is not forefront in anyone's mind: 150 years ago, a black person had the same legal status as a pig; 100 years ago, it was illegal for a white person to marry a black person; 60 years ago, it was illegal for a black person to drink at a water fountain.

Today, the likelihood that you'll be shot by a cop if you're black is astronomically higher than if you're white. If you have a black sounding name, you're less likely to have a company respond to your job application.

These things are institutional. When we say a black person can't be racist -- we don't mean they can't be prejudiced. They can, just like all people. But the privileges and paved roads that a white person enjoys simply aren't there by default for a POC, so they can't benefit from institutional racism.

TL;DR - false equivalency. "Black X Thing" is in the context of a historically disenfranchised people overcoming an entire country hellbent on keeping them disenfranchised. "White X Thing" is ridiculous because it's redundant: "Thing" is already White by default.
It depends. If the people are dying because the cars we make have break pads that haven't been certified as safe, and the reason they aren't certified is my boss said to not do it coz certification raises our costs by $1000 per car, yeah, I'd be bothered. Big as they come moral quandary.

Ask HN: Argument Exploration Tool
The topics of echo-chambers, what constitutes truth, bias and misinformation are at the forefront of many discussions at the moment.

I think the HN community could rally together (regardless of left/right/whatever) to create an online tool that approaches discussions in a logical, systematic fashion.

It could possibly take the form of a mind-map. Lets say one type of node represents an assertions made in a sentence or accusation. The Assertion Node interface would provide sub nodes in which a user could input a primary source that confirms or discredits the assertion. Perhaps if an accusation is levelled against an individual, the Node is marked with a warning that it is currently unsubstantiated until a primary source is provided.

Although I am not sure the best way in which this could be moderated to reduce bias, there must be a clever way. Perhaps users in other argument maps are presented a Node and its children out of context, simply to confirm whether it is logically correct?

Other nodes could include marking logical fallacies, unsourced material etc.

I imagine that many smart minds have come up with logical and systematic approaches to arguments.

Perhaps this is something the HN community could rally together behind, despite many of our differences that could be a truly useful tool for understanding one another?

I think it's bizarre how "People of Color" became an accepted PC term. Prior to that I thought it was a racist relic from the 50s. It's weird how they think the world can be grouped into white people and everyone else. Do Chinese, Nigerians, and Bolivians have so much in common they should be grouped into one category, other than "human" that is?

Many Democrats, myself included thought that particular statement was unnecessarily incendiary. Though, in the bit of text that you quoted, I was mostly referring to the context of this thread.

Edit: You edited your comment, but I'll leave the stuff below for posterity. As a response to your new edit: a selectively applied metaphor boils down to stylization. That's fine by me, I would just prefer that they admit that no design abstraction is airtight. What you call "magic" here can also be called "arbitrary stylization."

To be fair, putting something like this together is obscenely difficult and kudos to the Goog for sharing it with everyone. I just wish it were a little less word-of-god-y. The fact is that the material metaphor is not a "unifying theory of a rationalized space and a system of motion." It's inspiration, at best.

-----------

Response to your pre-edit:

Really?

> Material is the metaphor

> The material is grounded in tactile reality, inspired by the study of paper and ink, yet technologically advanced and open to imagination and magic.

"It's grounded in reality... but not!"

> Surfaces and edges of the material provide visual cues that are grounded in reality... Yet the flexibility of the material creates new affordances that supercede those in the physical world, without breaking the rules of physics.

"Except for rules of physics like things moving against the force applied to them, or shadows changing without the light source, object, or perspective changing."

> The fundamentals of light, surface, and movement are key to conveying how objects move, interact, and exist in space and in relation to each other. Realistic lighting shows seams, divides space, and indicates moving parts.

"Except where we decide we don't want to be realistic."

This is all fine. Stylistic choices do have a place in design, of course. I just really hate the language you see all over design systems that essentially resolves to "p and not p." "Physically accurate and totally physically inaccurate."

Not everything needs a manifesto to prove that it's not just arbitrary stylization, especially when the manifesto itself, in describing said design justifications, is leaky.

Sorry for the late reply... I actually have the 13-w023dx, which I think is just the Best Buy-specific model number. All the specs match exactly.

I installed Arch Linux with KDE, and most things worked with minimal configuration, including wifi, touchpad, touchscreen, power management. Sound works, but I think only the bottom speakers are on, not the top ones. Also I'm not sure if Bluetooth works, as I haven't had a need to try it. And then finally the 2-in-1 mode doesn't really work, because screen rotation and disabling the keyboard/touchpad aren't automated.

I would expect other distros to work as well or better, especially if they have a more automated installation process than Arch.
I feel it's unfortunate articles like these don't put more emphasis on climate change, and instead still keep up the narrative that we will innovate ourselves out of the problem. There is not reason to believe we will, and I expect society as a whole to already be heavily impacted by climate change by 2076.

The more people are talking about the fact that human civilization won't survive 4 degrees of warming in a 100 year time span (current projection by 2100), maybe the more society will see that although innovation is important, it's even more important is that we all accept to give up things deemed indispensable today.

Since that might not happen, 60 years time from now the future might look a lot more dystopian than this article would suggest.
