> Switching to something else requires you to replace that software. That's a cost.

My point is that this is impossible. You can't buy the software you need at any cost. It does not exist. You can't even consider other platforms for this reason.

> you can still contact your software vendors and ask them for a Linux version.

Zero interest in that for on simple reason: There's nothing wrong with deploying and using the software on Windows. Why would a company bifurcate their development effort to support multiple platforms when it isn't necessary.

Programs like Solidworks, for example are highly particular about drivers and, in addition to that, need tools such as MS Office. CAMWorks, which is an integrated CAM programming tool for manufacturing uses an MS Access database for tool and operations parameters.

Coming back to the ads in Explorer. I lack context because we are switching all of our workstations to Windows 10 and I have yet to see any such ads. Do they exist in the higher level editions or just in Home edition?

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the idea at all. But, frankly, we probably spend significantly less than 1% of our time fiddling around with files in Explorer. When I am spending 12 hours a day on SolidWorks I couldn't care less what happens with explorer.

This is no different from visiting StackOverflow and ignoring the ads. Yes, I know one is paid and the other isn't. Yet, in the context of a workstation with $30K to $50K of software installed, the cost of the OS is a rounding error, it might as well be free.

Now, if ads start to pop-up in the middle of an 18 hour FEA run it's war.
the rest of America is headed in this direction.... The age of machines/ai/automation is coming, and it'll dwarf the industrial revolution by far. We're not just talking about losing fast food jobs, or factory jobs - driving, all labor jobs, telemarketing/customer service/tech support, medicine careers. There will be devices you step in or get in without anyone's help that can take x-rays without an X-ray tech, or do a sonagram, or echocardiogram. General practitioners will easily be replaced by AI who can diagnose diseases 300x times better and 1500x times faster than a doctor ever could. There's a good (albeit fictional) book that shows how it could get worse quicker than anyone can imagine, by the founder of 'How Stuff Works' - http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm
My goal is to bring a sense of empathy to people that don't understand these issues due to lack of contact with people going through them. It's similar to a child who just needs to meet some black people who is less likely to become a racist.

When I mention Trump, it's because it's almost like there is a sense of disbelief of why he won. It encapsulates the lack of empathy and perspective people have for rural America. Having people understand why people voted for him may at least spark a dialog towards understanding their issues and coming up with solutions.

So I am sitting in Ebisu in Tokyo right now. I spend about 3-4 months a year here and have for about 8 years. My understanding of spoken Japanese is pretty decent. However it is by pure memorization over time. This just sorted a whole bunch of things out in my head as to the why. Very good stuff. Thank you.
Woman can be very sexist to other women. This is news apparently to a lot of men. Exhibit A is Patti Sanger on the reality show, Millionaire Matchmaker. She's a full blown misogynist from the Howard Stern / Trump school. When I see that show I'm watching through splayed fingers.
This seems so obvious a factor that I have a hard time believing mere negligence explains the failure to mention it in the article. I've seen a few hit pieces like this now and it seems to me some powerful lobby must be waging a PR war against opioids.
You can disapprove of the Daily Mail's accuracy and politics without saying things that are actually lies. That what you wrote is hyperbole is clear to me but it certainly isn't clear to everybody. The author's point about Wikipedia still taking Chinese, Russian and Persian state media as trustworthy sources should be tackled by anyone who actually wants to take part in this cesspit of a debate about a cesspit of a paper.

While on the topic of journalistic integrity have the Guardian retracted their piece on the "backdoor" in WhatsApp yet? No, and they're not going to. No matter how ideologically congenial any particular newspaper may be for any particular person journalists generally have minimal time for fact checking, will twist a story to make it more entertaining, and know very little about what they're writing about.

Also, I would have liked to see the unedited IRC (I assume IRC) logs from the conversations that happened so I could draw my own conclusions from the events that took place.

It seems to me like the Mail sniffed around some contacts, somehow got in touch with this guy, and then "an editor worked with him" (note quotes) to produce this puff piece. (Literally, it looks like they're pouting and trying to puff their chests out.)
I think liking the idea of individuals fixing social problems of their own volition when more boring, collective systems are more efficient (as evidenced by Western European societies) is kind of the issue in itself. There's this narrative bias towards enjoying a monkey patch of a social ill (homemade mobile laundromat), when some boring solution might be more effective (e.g. housing first like in Utah). I'm not sure if it's our entertainment-driven culture or a more complex set of biases. But it's odd how often we'll veer around demonstrably workable solutions in favor of something more flashy. It's as if the pursuit of an ongoing spectacle is more important than achieving a good end.
I think that might be the point.

Amen.

There was another thread here where I went on a rant about the MS Office Ribbon. I had whatever number of years under my belt with the previous UI, and the Ribbon is awful. This change did illuminate something for me: UI change is a bitch as you get older. When you learn how to do something one way, then the common way changes and you are forced to deal with it, that change is bumpy.

I have two tricks for my parents:

- Gave them 1Password as a gift and I begged them to just try it for 2 weeks. Once Dad got the hang of the auto-fill and Mom realized she could share bank passwords, they are 100% on board with a password manager.

- When I teach my Mom how to do something on the computer, I often have her put her hand on the mouse / keyboard, then rest my hand on top of hers and click / type through her fingers. This way she can feel how to touch the device. Half the battle with touch screens or special operations is an unusual touch operation. Most times, I show her something this way ONCE and she gets it because she felt what I was doing.

"wealth redistribution" is not giving them free money, or "welfare" as you call it.

it is an attempt to provide them with funding for better schools, better healthcare, better access to training. hell, better funding for roads or technology so children who are not near major cities don't have to drive far to get access to education.

i have been the beneficiary of "wealth redistribution" and what happened? i grew up, got a job that pays well, and have contributed back to society and economy (with at the very least, tax dollars). there have been studies that show that providing funding for education or into the sciences gives back a large positive ROI.

yet one side continues to advocate for cutting education, healthcare, nasa, neah... all in the name of giving back to the top 1% of the most wealthy.

It is certainly normal for startups to expect losses and only want to gain users, but it's not a sign of strength in themselves or their business model.

If you're trying to gain users at any cost then other businesses will take advantage of that desperation.
I'm aware that blue state folks often declare their pet issues to be secret constitutional rights hidden in the auras and penumbra's. I hope Trump appoints enough judges to do the same - I enjoy watching the intellectually dishonest people around me squirm.

But in a free marketplace, the difference is usually made up by charging commissions on a volunary transaction by both sides, which both sides enter into because they believe benefits them. In this case, who is the product exactly? Both sides are equally "the product" and often would welcome their positions / profiles being indexed and matched together with a corresponding offer to facilitate a deal. The rest is details.

For numbers, I think mapping them to consonants helps: 1-> t/d, 2 -> n (as it has two things on bottom), 3 -> m (3 things on bottom), 4 -> r (ends in r), 5 -> l, 6 -> j/ch, 7 -> g/k, 8 -> f/ph, 9 -> p/b.

i'm guessing you mean hillary didn't bring up jobs in rural america vs jobs in general? because hillary literally had outlined how we as a country would move ahead and sustain our jobs/economy (basically: more education, investment in technology, encouraging startups).

all trump has talked about is how jobs are fleeing america. he even criticized ford for moving jobs from michigan when in fact they weren't.

so please, if you're going to say trump brought up jobs, at least address the fact that he didn't offer any solutions then, nor has he offered any now. that Carrier "job save" of 1000 was due to the state of indiana offering them incentives to keep the jobs here. that's not a very sustainable idea (also, although i'm not necessarily opposed to states giving companies incentives like this at tax-payer expense, that move seems very anti-free market all things considered).
Does anyone know more about how the figures were developed?

I found https://www.lth.se/fileadmin/lth/genombrottet/LUkonf2015/41_... which says "The figures were programmed using JavaScript using a graphics engine that we have developed for the interactive illustrations", but that's all the detail it gives.
This is the direct result of the "crackdown."

It only increases diversion to the black market by directly increasing demand. My own grandparents have had to buy pain pills in the past.

Doctors are terrified to prescribe painkillers to those in need lest they be prosecuted by laymen who think they know better. Pain is being under-treated now more than ever.

My ER has a massive info-poster in the lobby explaining why I won't be receiving dilaudid, fentanyl, or oxycodone.

Opiates are in the news every other day, either prescription abuse or fentanyl-laced heroin stories in local and national paper as well as cable news.

What good has it done? There will always be abusers.

Like DRM only hurting paying customers, stricter regulations and lawsuits against doctors ironically only end up hurting non-abusers.

Dependent folks, like my grandparents, who get a massive quality of life increase thanks to these drugs, especially considering the lifetime of abuse they've put their bodies through, and been through.

That's who ends up getting the shit end of the stick.

Not the junkie. Someone's Grandma. A vet.

Yeah, and my parents weren't even that bad (among my friends in high school, for instance, they were pretty well-regarded.)
Of course it can't happen. As the Germans discussed at Farm Hall, you'd need giant factories, maybe the biggest buildings in the world, more than a mile long. They'd need giant power plants, like big hydroelectric dams, to power them. You'd need entire cities of scientists just to work out the theory. Other new cities for the plants. It would take hundreds or thousands of test explosions to get the chemical explosive components right. You'd need some way to watch an explosion as it happened, maybe even with an X-ray machine. The project would cost billions of dollars and take years. Even then, you might only make a few bombs.

Periodic state dumps or checkpoints can save a lot of wasted time if there's a power interruption 5 days in.

There were mass depopulations of cities at the end of the Western Roman (due to Germanic invaders), Eastern Roman (due to Muslim invaders), Abbasid (due to Mongols) and certain of the Chinese (due to Mongols, Xiongnu, etc etc) empires. This was not exactly good for economic activity.

Is it really? I'm as farthest one can imagine from sales, but I thought the hardest part is not setting up a call centre, or making calls, but rather training the sales agent to be good at selling, and find and manage good leads...

I can only imagine this being used for the rather spammy types of phone calls. The types that people on HN love to use something like Lenny for (I'm on mobile so can't find a link easily).

Please don't take this as criticism, but I'm genuinely curious how this can be used for non spammy or super scripted sales (and we might use it if it really helps us build a sales team of some sort)

I dont know many people in cities who would say they dont care about rural populations. Most city-folks (i hate the false dichotomy here, but lets continue with it) I know care very much, but realize there are no quick fixes. The longer-term fixes are to improve education and increase mobility by de-linking health-care from employers.

I hung out with plenty of 1%er conservatives (rural Connecticut hedge fund) and plenty of progressives (in my neighborhood in Brooklyn.) I rarely saw any empathy amongst wealthy, elite sub-urbanite hedge fund crowds.

As for quick-fixes, the only quick fix I've seen so far is one that will come at a huge cost -- deregulating environmental controls. I agree this will seriously increase rural job opportunities, but it will come at a long-term cost as those factories dump chemicals into local areas. Now that the EPA is being gutted, I can see that happening.

Kratom is indeed not an opoid but still is a painkiller. However, unfortunately, it still can be addictive.
That's a valid question. Forget law firms, ITAR (part of our work) is a big question. I can't say I've looked into it but would be surprised if MS didn't have a path forward. Most of the large aerospace companies use Windows and they are all under ITAR. For now I think everyone is staying put with Windows 7 until 10 can be understood further.
Let me abbreviate this discussion:

That's their point: mirrors don't magic away lasers. Dismissing this weapon with a simple "but mirrors!" is foolish.
>Now I'm not sure a wall or border security is the answer, but the problem is that if I bring up the concept that border security is even a possible good idea, I'm labeled a trump supporter.

That seems like a pretty knee jerk response from your friends (1), but, at least from your framing of the issue in these comments, I'm not convinced that you're presenting your arguments to them in good faith. Jumping to border security as a first line of response seems out of order to me.

EDIT: Sorry, meant to respond to this:

>I don't disagree with those statements, but I just care about my friends and I have seen the impact that foreign importation of drugs has had. The price of heroin has plummeted in my hometown over the last 10 years.

I must say, I've never thought about affordability of drugs as a factor in their overuse, though I suppose it does make some sense. Still, though, do you believe that them being more expensive would alleviate the situation? Usually, junkies will find their fix one way or another, financial prudence be damned. I would have thought that community involvement and better rehab programs would prove more effective, but I must admit I do not have your first-hand knowledge.

(1) By the way, either you are misrepresenting your friend's arguments or they are themselves quite misinformed. The issues about Trump and Sessions aren't that they are a womanizer and an idiot, respectively, but (at least on related counts) that the first admitted on record to having committed sexual assault, and that the other has a visible record of disdain for civil rights, bordering on outright bigotry.

When will Microsoft stop with this shit, and do a 180 degree U-turn? What does it need?

It's unbelievable how MSFT turned Windows from the great Win7 to the worst spyware operating system in human history aka Win10 in just 5 years. Is it just greed? Is it that they failed with Mobile (WinPhone is dead and has 0.1% world wide market share) and Android amd iOS have a bigger market share than Windows 7? (Win10 has way smaller market share). On desktop Windows 7 has like 50% market share, where as Win10 is around 20%. Is it that they failed with XBoxOne, now Sony and Nintendo eat MSFT former console market share as breakfast.

I bought two highend notebooks one a MacBookPro, the other with Win7 Pro preinstalled. The will last for the next five years. I stay with Office 2010 and additionally installed LibreOffice. I skip Win8 and Win10, and I am running Linux in VMs.

What's really disgusting is that in future many smaller companies like law firms, doctors will leak your private confidential data to Microsoft - as Windows 10 collects audio from connected microphones, collect keystrokes from connected keyboards, and indexes all files on local drives and sends a lot of data home to many different domains (some are owned by Microsoft, some have very dubious names and owners).
I agree that Windows is insanely hard to use. I helped someone get their new windows computer up and running and I spent more than an hour figuring how to make it not open MSN.com every time it booted, I had to edit some registry key.
