Some of these distros come with browsers and JavaScript engines that can run in the console (such as node.js, w3m, lynx, etc.).

Third-party HTML and JavaScript engines are banned in the Windows Store, so can someone explain how this uneven enforcement of their own rules is ethical?

App fatigue is real... when Captain Kirk flipped open his communicator he didn't select which app to use when requesting a transport. That Google has several apps which compete and conflict with each other is absurd. The fact they keep migrating functionality in and out of them is moreso. Just pick a winner and be done with it. There's not really a competitive advantage to splitting your ecosystem into 5 different communication apps, google, there's really not.
Fair enough, I agree that we could be here all day if we opened the value-judgement can of worms (though I do wish we did this when discussing public economic policy).

Economists generally claim this outcome to be "unrealistic" but it helps us understand the more traditional outcome

I agree with this. Just to add, pretty much every simplified market model you would find in an undergraduate-level textbook won't correspond to any market in reality. As you suggest, they're just very simplified models designed to 'kinda point you in the right direction', rather than be taken as a description of reality. The most dangerous people tend to be those who took micro 101 but were never told the latter :)

Windows 10 Home doesn't include the Group Policy Editor though, so if you buy that you're basically stuck having all manner of things shoved down your throat.

While the Pro version won't necessarily save you entirely from this, it goes a long way towards giving the user more freedom (at additional cost, of course).

Sounds like something for me to check. I've got an HP Envy with Conexant audio. I'm in Linux most of the time, but I've got a Windows 7 partition, too. That article mentions some version 10.x builds of the driver as being the culprits. Luckily, the newest ones on HP's site for my model are 9.x drivers, so maybe I'm safe.
No sugar, No grains. Cutting back on mindless between meal snacking and also quit drinking beer/wine every night.

Basically just that. I'm down 20 lbs and still losing weight and it's been a breeze.

No additional exercise or calorie counting. (Though I was already walking a couple miles everyday).

Actually the first couple weeks were awful as I was kicking the sugar addiction. I didn't lose weight during that period since I was over eating other foods to compensate. But I didn't gain either and I was eating basically as much as I wanted without trying to feel stuffed.

Once I got used to not eating sugar, cutting back on my eating was easy. I didn't have the hunger pangs I used to, and I often have to remind myself to eat at meal times. (Which is crazy for me since I'm a glutton).

I still drink from time to time, and I haven't been crazy strict with it after the first couple weeks, but I'm still seeing great results.

Google NSNG and Vinnie Tortorich, he has a pod cast about this stuff. Very down to earth advice.
In what way does that necessitate a choice between the well-

The chat is largely incidental to the actual use of keybase which is more of a convenient wrapper around key management and identity proofs. Signal doesn't allow you to take your key and sign or encrypt files without sending them through signal and doesn't interact with any other services.
They have to justify the extra price somehow... I don't blame them too much, odds are you are a "pro" user if you want/need Hyper-V. I really like Hyper-V (except the network weirdness no occasion).

I personally love the movie Spice World. I've known people who enjoyed literally getting punched. The fact that you know someone who enjoys something doesn't mean that thing is generally well-loved. I accept that Spice World was not a very popular movie. That doesn't take away from my enjoyment of it, but my enjoyment also doesn't negate its lack of popularity.
No but you could simply access the file on other people's computer and have a nice dump of all their sensitive informations.
Biggest problem with it is than you cannot put regular OpenWRT or LEDE on it. You're effectively stuck with their OS.

Unless you put in the work to add LEDE or OpenWRT support. Or try putting Debian or whatever on it.

Problem with their fork of OpenWRT is that it has diverged massively from the original. LuCI is quite trash on it. Settings don't apply at all. Have to run /etc/init.d/* manually. Unicode is broken for irssi, packages tend to not be in sync with upstream.

A shit show basically.
How have people not yet realized that supporting a video game hype train will end in disappointment
My family and friends are all university educated as well; a combination of teachers, physicists and an artist (holding multiple degrees, that damn oddball). I am myself not university educated. Started working early instead, which paid off in my case. All of "us" have visited the US at least once. I am excluding the older generation from the mix, but they would generally know even less about the US.

That information should give you an idea of what kind of person I am observing when I make the claims about the knowledge of a "normal" Scandinavian. I am of course not claiming that no Scandinavian knows more than this.

From the US, we have media coverage of the presidential elections, but apart from the commentator track while votes are being counted, they only really talk about the candidates, never the country itself. Other than that, we have the usual bloopers reel that is US politics, but "Trump does XYZ" doesn't tell you much about the internal dynamics of the country either. On the Chinese side, I don't actually recall seeing that much in local media, but we would hear if something drastic happened... I guess. Now that I think about it, I don't even think local media had coverage of the huge protests in Hong Kong when mainland started changing the rules, but I may be wrong.

Between Brexit, Syrian emigrants, internal Scandinavian dynamics, and the rest of the Europe, we have plenty of politics to satisfy our relatively small thirst for political drama.

As for its popularity, US is basically laughing stock these days, although progressively moving into the "oh god, they're pulling us down with them, aren't they? fuck" area. There's a small number of people that think the grass is greener on the other side, but they're the minority by far.

As for China, people know Tibet, and they know the Dalai Lama, but they won't know that China is effectively terrorising Tibet. They certainly won't know anything about its special status as an autonomous region in China, and I seriously doubt that they know anything about Xinjiang. My spouse is Chinese, and I'm therefore far from an outsider and kept relatively well updated on current news from Shanghai and HKSAR, and even I know nothing about Xinjiang.

It's not all blank, though. Some may remember what happened in Tiananmen Square, even if they only remember the tank.

As a closing shower thought: Maybe some of the reason that we see US as one thing comes from how we're used to much more drastic cultural differences? If I drive for an hour, I'm not simply crossing a state border, but I'm in an entirely different country with entirely different culture and language, and depending on the direction I drove in, it doesn't even have to be in EU. This is much more drastic than the differences between American states. Consider the differences between Italy and Poland, vs. Texas and Alabama (similar distance). While not necessarily an explanation, this might be part of why the US seems like one blob to us.
I recently commented the same - there was a time supercomputers looked cool. I'd totally design one where the rack doors would display rack status, failed hardware at that position (it makes so much easier to find the module that needs service if it's glowing red) and/or various performance stats - energy consumption, temperature map etc, just because adding it wouldn't make the computer that much more expensive and would add to brand recognition.

A computer that looks like a bunch of racks has less cool photos than one that looks really awesome.
we will probably find the uploader on some sloppy coding for some unrelated piece such as intel management engine firmware. or some crash reporter that sends all debug files in some dir, etc.

The Wright patent holding back the US airplane industry is a myth, as demonstrated by industrial data from the period:

http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2355673

In fact, a lot of airplane innovation was happening in the US during that era despite the patent being in force. For instance the seaplane was invented in the US (by Curtiss, the Wrights' most bitter foe.)

Also their patents were challenged repeatedly and, despite being interpreted broadly, upheld repeatedly because they actually were that much of an improvement over the prior art.

We are still stuck on this little blue marble, with the entire Universe in our telescopes (hundreds of billions of galaxies, hundreds of billions stars in each), that we can see, but can't really visit. It almost maddens me.

If we meatbags are too fragile to travel to stars, let's build immortal AIs who'll do it for us. I am going to die on this planet, like every other human being. But I hope that we can create new minds and new non-carbon lifeforms, better than us, who might be able to escape.

I guess I am an accelerationist. But isn't it a natural attitude for any thinking mind?

I'd say few people try to maximize compensation. Rather, most people prioritize on a number of factors including not just compensation, but enjoyment/tolerance of the work. And compensation generally becomes less of a priority as it increases, as there's less need for it.

In other words, it's not clear that you need to maximize profits to get a respectable amount of human resources into a field. Capitalism is great at many things, but there's definitely cases where common cause makes other solutions more viable within a limited scope.

Also, in response to why other countries aren't funding drug development, it could be as simple as the fact that they don't need to, since the US is doing it for them. Similar to the effect of our outsized military spending allowing many allied countries to spend less on their own defense.
You don't know what communism is, and it shows.
The problem is that we keep raising the floor on the level of training and aptitude that's required to be a productive worker in society, and we're already getting to the point where a lot of people can't keep up. The shift from being behind the plow to a cog in an assembly line doesn't filter that many people out. The shift from blue-collar industrial to white collar bullshit clerical employment filters a little more, but the shift to skilled knowledge work, which is rapidly becoming the only path to economic security, filters people hard. There's a lot of people that don't have the tools to even compete, and more that have the ability but don't have the resources to retread.
Until relatively recently, unavailability of large stockpiles of consumer data (at least, stockpiles at the scale now possible) was a significant impediment to a large and probably mostly-undiscovered class of potentially ethical behavior, as well as behavior that actively combats unethical behavior. Data itself is amoral and can be used for either good or bad.
Again; this is my own opinion and I am not on a competitive dev team. AWS is the defacto standard; and I think learning the API keeps you out of the UI.

Azure has one too; they are both clunky and more than I need but; and someone who uses AWS hopefully will chime in-- my guess is most people use the API almost exclusively. I don't have enough familiarity to judge it; have only use it a bit and a while ago
Microsoft's Cloud Clipboard lets you copy and paste between devices
What are you trying to do is the key here. Lets say you have some web servers and you also have some applications (games). The load on the games depends on the number of users, how popular it is. If you have a a few racks of servers that are all 100% the same that you can bring up the containers on demand. Have web containers. Have game containers on demand based on load. Bare metal is really for something where you have a reason to consume all the HW, lets say for a DB you want to keep all the set in memory, then bare metal in a cluster with a big box that has lots of RAM. Like I said it is all really use case dependent. The trend today in the target scale systems is load on demand via, VM or container.

Also if you use containers with a routing protocol on the server they can move and update the network as they move.
Emulation should be a last resort. They should ship an SDK with all the proper import libs and a cl.exe etc. that can target proper Win32 on ARM.

If its just a few lbs, follow the advice here. Otherwise get bariatric surgery.

Every legitimate long term study of non surgical weight loss shows that it doesn't happen for the vast, vast majority of people.

1) ["In controlled settings, participants who remain in weight loss programs usually lose approximately 10% of their weight. However, one third to two thirds of the weight is regained within 1 year, and almost all is regained within 5 years. "](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1580453)

2) Giant meta study of long term weight loss: ["Five years after completing structured weight-loss programs, the average individual maintained a weight loss of >3% of initial body weight."](http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/74/5/579.full)

3) Less Scientific: [Weight Watcher's Failure - "about two out of a thousand Weight Watchers participants who reached goal weight stayed there for more than five years."](https://fatfu.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/weight-watchers/)

4) [The reason why it's impossible seems to be that although calories in < calories out works, the body of a fat person makes it extremely difficult psychologically to eat less.](http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-...) This is borne out by the above data.

5) [The only thing that does seem to work in the long term is gastric surgery.](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1421028/)

Moreover, you won't find any reputable study on the web where the average person lost 10%+ of their body weight and kept it off for five years. Not even one.

The so-called study that came up with that "30 billion" number has been thoroughly debunked. Of course, the debunking of these things gets zero media coverage, because they get no rage views compared to "news" with outrageous numbers like that.
A-Teams: strategy (and funding) for changing the world
You need the private key for decryption. Private keys sit locally on each device and don't go anywhere. Messages are encrypted with all public keys of the recipient and yourself, so every party can read the conversation on any device.
Every neuron potentially has a different genome than those it's connected to
Almost 100% correct :-)

First part: if you lose or wipe a phone and want to reprovision, the lost device's private key is GONE. It will not exist in some icloud backup. When you provision your new device, the Keybase app will make fresh keys. To make that device yours, you'll need to either (a) bring together another keybase device, or (b) enter a paper key. When you do that, the old key will sign your newly generated key, and the new key will countersign. The old key will also be used to decrypt and reencrypt access keys for your data, so you can get to your old messages and files. Your data will live on. So even in an extreme example: if you write data in KBFS or send a chat message, provision a new device, and then revoke all your old devices, you'll still have the data on the new device. Assuming at some point you always held at least one of your private keys.

The general rule of thumb here is as long as you don't lose all your devices (and in this sense you can think of a paper key as a device), you won't lose your files in kbfs/chat.

The reason the answer above wasn't 100% correct: the revocation of a device (by another) does not trigger an identity re-proof, even for proofs made by the revoked device. Why? well, the original identity announcement is in a well-ordered signature chain of your announcements, and at the same time you remove it, you also have the power to remove your twitter or other proofs. By choosing not to do that AND leaving up your twitter announcement, it's pretty clear you're still you. This isn't like PGP where revocations and statements are floating around and could be ordered in any-which-way.

1. key X adds key Y

2. key X adds twitter

3. key Y revokes X (leaving twitter proof)

the twitter proof is considered still valid in Keybase's logic. Because 1,2,3 exist in a signed chain and Y had the power to remove twitter but chose not to.

One final point we've made in multiple places: your PGP key is part of your identity on Keybase (like your Twitter account or HN account), but it isn't used as a key in Keybase chat or the filesystem for a variety of reasons. So really, your Keybase-data is protected by your devices+paper keys. Just don't run out of them!
When you send a message, you encrypt it with their public key, so that only they can decrypt it. Additionally, you sign the message with your private key, so the person who receives the message can verify that you signed it, by using your public key.

This is the general idea of how public/private key crypto works. The actual Keybase implementation is a bit more complicated because a person doesn't have exactly one public/private keypair, but rather keys for each device.
Not sure what you're referring to. I'm definitely not defending the practice of ripping off tourists, and in fact I admit that Uber, being a multinational service, gives a real value for consumers in this aspect.
