It is indeed, because "time" is not an operator in QM, unlike H or x or p. But from my limited understanding of the time-energy uncertainty relation, you could (as you say) consider it a measure of lifetime - the time it takes for a change in E . So if you get a higher energy, you also should get less change in time, and thus you could probe smaller timeframes.

I might be wrong though. Someone shoot that argument down if you have to ;)
Not just strategy but working together. The article mentions that Collection compares favourably to Pandemic.

I've seen people start to get agitated at each other playing Pandemic.
Are the ads only for storage service? At first I was thinking we'd start seeing banner ads like we do on blogs. If it's only Microsoft pushing their own integrated services I don't really have much of a problem, but for software I paid for showing third party ads when I never ever had an expectation of such a thing then I do agree it is very horrible.

The "Not now" button does seem like a anti-pattern instead of a simple no. Reminds me on how iOS apps bug you over and over again to rate them. I assume in X amount of time, it would show the banner again? I think it should be like "Learn More" or "Dismiss". Then have Dismiss never show it again on that device(unless they did like a reinstall of the OS). I'm sure it's useful to know it's available, especially to non tech people but you shouldn't have to jump into a long list of settings to stop it.

Imagine some day your car dashboard updates and starts showing banner ads for deals at near by places when the car never did it in the first place. That'd be kinda creepy too.
If our country gave more assistance to caregivers of the disabled I might have more of a problem with this, but as it is I think that, while not ideal and ideally a last resort, everyone should MTOFB if a family decides this is what they need to do to provide the best care for their child.
No, you're not!

A friend of mine got his MSc in CS with an undergrad education in english and philosophy. He landed a job with little prior experience.

You can do it. You ARE doing it. I think the amount of interviews that you've gotten is a promising start.
And in the process overlooking the massive number of gray boxes sitting around on shelves and under desks doing "something" and running some bottom of the barrel Windows install.

Now why those boxes are even online so that they can download updates, never mind reboot at "random" intervals, is the biggest puzzle.
There's nothing clear about it, considering they're commonly held as a producer of top-tier chess players.

How long it takes depends on the doctor. An ex of mine was talking about gluten sensitivity in 2005, but none of the docs she visited would admit to such a thing being possible (correctly, it now seems). According to this article, the original study that gave credence to such claims was done in 2011, and the more complete followup that removed that was presumably 2015 (since this article itself is dated then). A diagnosis in 2012 would have been hip, but not necessarily before the publication of the initial study.
> And what part of Linux makes me the product?

As long as there's no provider whose product you could be, perhaps, but be careful even with Linux- awhile back, Canonical added a feature to Ubuntu where the user's use of the dashboard search function was reported back to the company [1]. That got taken out after a mass uproar, but we now know that Canonical wants to be just as creepy as MS.

I found it fairly easy to turn those off. YMapparentlyV'd.
I have a reasonably noob-unfriendly linux distro (arch) on my bleeding edge kaby lane xps 13 laptop (month or two old) and even the touchscreen worked without any messing around with config files and so on. It came with ubuntu pre-loaded and I assumed they tweaked the arse out of the configs for it, and so expected pain when I replaced the OS. Turns out I was wrong. Vanilla with a minimal distro and even the touchscreen and suspend worked.

Woah? I was impressed anyway..

As someone who's suffered OS pains you wouldn't believe (I mean.. I ran solaris 10 on a hp probook as my main workstation for a year one time...) and for well over a decade -- things are MUCH better these days then they were.

Windows? Fair enough for you I guess. I'm not trying to convert you...

I'll come off badly here, but I'll be honest: I kind of judge people who use MS tech by choice and while claiming to be technologists as being in the lower end of the skills spectrum.

I'm not an elitist or at least; I'm really not trying to be.. Please don't take me wrong. At the same time I'm don't understand how anyone with who works in tech and is thus capable of really understanding these things would voluntarily pick this stack as their daily driver.

If you're a photo editor or a journalist or writer or something, sure -- I get why that stack works.. Programmer? Sysadmin? I can't get my head around it.

I'd like to understand, though.. What do you do? What tools do you use? Are you just living inside some IDE all the time and not interacting with lots of different tools?

Thinking out loud as I type, maybe that's the difference here then? We *nix folks tend to use lots of small tools and if you're just sat in one big IDE perhaps the OS around it doesn't matter so much to you as it does to us??
I "love" how MS removed/disabled group policy on the Windows 10 variants involved in all this...
Converting C to Go
I think it's designed with functioning desktop SSO in mind. A longer session timeout would probably make it less painful for those without that but security teams tend to frown at that. Regardless functional desktop SSO is something they should stop expecting their customers to have in place if they ever want to thoroughly capture the SMB market.
This looks really really bad. Take a look at this list:

Never say never. You just don't know when another team comes out with a slicker implementation and makes that part of the cloud offering. That being said, I find the firebase part of the current cloud offering to not be as slick as the other offerings. For example, for me to use push notifications, I have to use Firebase. It should be it's own standalone service like Amazon SNS.

IBM did that on hardware even back in the day.

Want more RAM for that mainframe? Have some IBM service rep show up, pop the doors open, move a jumper, and bill your company a massive number of dollars.
There's an opportunity here for a young, ambitious programmer -- create a PowerShell script that automatically goes through the Windows registry, creating/resetting options to disable all advertising (Start menu, File Explorer, OneDrive, Edge's annoying gripes when you launch a competing browser, and others). I suggest this because as time passes the manual approach to disabling the many sources of Windows advertising is becoming somewhat baroque. Such a script would be a great public service.

I won't personally benefit -- I've run Linux exclusively for almost 20 years -- but when I visit Windows in connection with my work, I feel compassion for those who put up with it. I think, "Wait ... people pay to be abused this way?"
It is, because what was described is typically considered a "pro-worker" agenda.

How's the work/life balance compared to US companies? I'd expect it to be much better?
Nice. Thank you for this. I've never heard of this before. I think it shouldn't be optional to pay. I want a high-end distro that's $50-60 and far more polished. Better or equal to macOS.
I'm also interested. Can a person buy/subscribe to a LTSB version? I've found news links saying it was to be both for volume enterprise customers and also subscription based? What happened to that?
Some people did, but they were not listened to.

Isn't Microsoft starting to block updates to Windows 7 on new hardware?
IMO all computers have problems, any claim otherwise are either delusional or fanboys (one could argue that's two terms for the same problem, btw).

Sadly in recent years Linux has taken on more and more of a Windows like black box experience.

What used to be clearly defined lines between parts have been blurred. And what used to be debuggable by running the same commands manually has turned into heisenbugs mediated over dbus.

Sad part is that while this makes me sound like an old graybeard, i am not much older than the people that are implementing all these changes.
No, I am not. I also consider myself successful for my age. Are there hundreds of outliers, probably yes. But, my question is - how business folks become successful and wealthy?
In a capitalist, caste system society this phenomenon is known as "freedom".

Yes. While having an obsessive desire to deliver <thing> be it service or product to customer, they focus on their people, making sure everyone feels valued and fulfilled. In a personal context, often quite shy.
> Windows has become essentially malware for most of it's users

That's a major exaggeration. The home suite's ads are more like tooltips than actual ads and they only appear once on a new install; every paid OS has similar things. Chrome OS, OSX and Windows. Ubuntu has sponsored search. Most people I know like Windows 10, it's largely a small group of people that are in love with Windows 7, are die hard Apple fans or Linux diehards that refuse to adopt 10 and most of them are scared of telemetry data being collected (which as a privacy "concern" has largely been disproven by Thurrott and others.) That being said, I hope Microsoft changes course and gets rid of most of these items. I actually find the one time reminder to use Edge and the plug OneDrive vastly less annoying (and more inline with their competition) and intrusive than having to disable "promoted apps." Anyhow, calling it "malware" is utter nonsense.
You could probably trap a self driving car just by walking out in front of it and refusing to move aside.
any application that doesn't do auto-save to protect the user from crashes and power failures is broken

That's a cop-out. I'm about to start a number-crunching process that usually takes about a week to complete. Is that supposed to have some magic facility to be interrupted at any point and restart from where it left off, or at least somewhere close? How much of my time should I spend on that, given that I wrote the scripts so I'll be the one implementing any auto-save as well? Should I also reimplement the dependencies that are doing a lot of the heavy lifting, given that calls into some of that functionality can take considerable time to complete?

Oh, wait, I don't have Windows 10. Never mind.
Screaming Jay was a legend. Started his career as a classical pianist but had way more success with the blues. He took to performing on stage coming out of a coffin. Claimed to have fathered over 75 children. When bookings became scarce he was a strip club MC in Honolulu for a few years.
The key here is

>which may result in competitive injury

It is, in short, "you can't sell an apple to your favorite customer for 20% less than other customers just to help them kill off their competition." All the rest is just hurdle-clearing to address various defenses to the "this was pure competition-killing." It's an anti-trust law.

Price discrimination without anti-competitive traits is legal ("Price discriminations are generally lawful, particularly if they reflect the different costs of dealing with different buyers or are the result of a seller's attempts to meet a competitor's offering.")
Wait till they find out where "use strict" came from.

You think it's not a big deal that you pay microsoft $119 for an OS and they're injecting ads into the local file browser?

How are those being targetted?

Ads on sites and apps -- yeah okay. We got to pay the rent for the content we're viewing..

Ads baked into the OS, especially one you'be paid for, is disturbing.. For me anyway..

I've not used windows in a long time, but I'm kind of dissapointed in the way they've been going. They appeared to be going in a good direction with the new guy after balmer -- for a while I thought they'd buy github.. More OSS, some cool tech -- but they've been slowly getting into the data business and when that happens by degrees it's hard for people to be outraged enough to call them on it.

Don't stand for this shit. Even if we don't, though, it won't make much of a difference since we're the minority who can even understand what's happening...
You are not wrong, but I think you are missing the point: It's a rule of thumb.

I think with modern batteries, electric motors, and digital electronics you could probably do a much better flying platform.

Of course it doesn't matter. Windows, macOS, and Linux are all good enough. More than ever, you pick the operating system and hardware to support the applications you want to run.
A buddy of mine bought me a copy of the Steam version of Twilight Struggle. If you have a willing friend to play with, the PC digital version is just fine.

Matchmaking is there as well as async play, so you can get a game going with a stranger. but, it might take awhile.

I've played it (with a friend) about 30 hours so far, it really is a great game. After a few brutal losses I started to get the hang of it. There is depth, sacrifice and tough decision making. I'm definitely a fan of the game, now.

Speaking of which, I ought to go take my turn.
Serious question, where do you see Apple monetizing customer data? I can't think of any way they monetize customers beyond hardware and app sales.
Consumers can't buy that edition though.
If you actually want to damage sensors of unattended autonomous vehicles you could do a lot worse than just like...shooting at it with a firearm. Delicate precision sensors don't take to bullets too well, also using firearms lets you be well outside the range of the target vehicle's sensors.
This is where it always should've been. The ability to look at engineering drawings, etc. as you work on something, or being able to look through work instructions without having to down tools and clean off your hands is invaluable. This is always the dream product I had for something like Glass.
Amazing work!

Good to see that some state governments are making progress on the internet front.
Perhaps police should be licensed like professionals (doctors / lawyers) and be required to have malpractice insurance. Premiums could be based on their prior conduct. Gross misconduct would result in them losing their right to work in law enforcement. I imagine that would solve the problem.
It's easy to forget how obscure is a technology to someone who doesn't have the experience and understanding of all the underlying concepts. I tend to do the same with programming. I tend to think certain things are trivial, until I see a beginner struggling with concepts that are so obvious I didn't think it was worth spending more time than just mentioning them.

I am a beginner on linux, and outside of a few basic settings, I find myself very quickly in front of a terminal window, trying to guess the state of the system or what syntax could work and not break anything.

Cool, but your vote has little to do with the political reality that pushed the initiative to politicians putting it up to vote.
Your basic point is legitimate, but in passing I want to say that in Linux distributions you can change the windows decorators/formats to suit yourself, often including a theme designed to resemble Windows.

Not to detract from the point you're making, which is quite valid.

It used to be that I would be eager to buy a new iphone because I was keen to get the new features. Now I hold on to my older model because it has less of this nagging and new "features".
Right. For consumers, there is no version of Windows 10 where telemetry can be switched off.

I use the "Shutup10" tool to disable everything can be disabled, but I don't use Windows 10 as my everyday OS.
Is this better or worse than a 0 day being used to take over her system, encrypt the HDD, and hold it ransom?

FWIW, good apps should support session restore. If a hot fix gets pushed, especially for an active exploit, then getting it installed asap to everyone (not just those of us on HN who keep up with security bulletins!) becomes important.
The problem Microsoft has created is that you now have to choose between trusting their updates and having a chance of your system being broken by them, or not trusting their updates and having a chance of your system being compromised through an unpatched vulnerability. This is a binary question with no good answer, and it's no longer clear that accepting all updates to ensure you get the security patches is the option with the lowest risk.
Let's make art of our ignorance!
HIPAA compliance is not some unacheavable data security standard. It's so basic that probably all industries should follow it. The problem is that it's surrounded in verbose policy-speak so it just looks completely opaque. There used to be a table on the HHS website that gave a concise explanation of the rules. It's things like what PII is, that it should be encrypted at rest and in transit, how to get explicit permission to transmit it, authorization and authentication is required for viewing the data, and there must be an audit log. Having worked in the financial sector this is all basic stuff.
Yep so I'm definately being biased by personal experience here -- not claiming otherwise. I've been using and working with unixy types for >15 years or so and probably type 'grep' a hundred times a day (I'm a lead dev).

I'm genuinely just curious how your world looks as it's so different to mine -- I must live a sheltered life but even junior devs I have with routinely push makefiles and bash scripts etc..

Are you a dev? Do you just live in one big contained environment like visual studio or such that has all these kind of tools rolled in?

One important reason to do ssl inspection is to detect the exfiltration of corporate data, particularly if your organisation is likely to be attacked by governments or sophisticated crime gangs.

I know my organisation do SSL inspection, but they have whitelisted common personal websites like internet banking to protect the privacy of staff.

As far as I'm concerned, if your risk profile requires you to do SSL inspection then this is the right way to do it.

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.
I guess I just don't think of it as an ad.

Just like how Apple pushes their cloud storage, Google pushes drive, even Foss software pushes or bumps other complementary packages.

They are being "targeted" because you are already running the software, so if it's saving your shit to a paid account, just hide it, if it's not then show it. No tracking or nefarious stuff needed.

If they were really truly​ putting ads in explorer, I'd be right there with everyone shouting about how bad it is, but this isn't doing that, it's telling you they offer cloud storage.

> Perhaps police should be licensed like professionals (doctors / lawyers) and be required to have malpractice insurance.

Or just not covered by a near-blanket immunity from liability. If they were exposed to personal liability, you wouldn't need to expressly require liability insurance, they'd see the need quickly. And insurers would probably take care of the equivalence of licensing requirements by the factors that controlled insurance pricing.
The only one I've seen was for their storage services.
I admit it surprised me initially, but I suppose it could be worse. Hopefully it does not go the way of Skype which (for me) is almost entirely unusable on Windows these days due (I assume) to the ads locking up/hanging the process.
