Sadly MS is hardly the first to have done something like that, but they are the biggest and most prominent name right now.

People avoid doing firmware updates on various devices for the same reason, as there is no indication what will change or go missing (never mind that it likely will reset the device, and thus require a full reconfigure before being useful again).

The basic problem of our world is that it is ruled by 20-sometings that loath working on "old" tech. The epitome of this is the FOSS world that goes through a wrenching rewrite churn every 5 years or so as new heads take over "old" projects.

For all their antics, one reason MS is still top dog is that they support APIs and ABIs first introduced with Windows 95 (or even older, if you manage to do a 32-bit install).

Never mind that MS did offer XP updates, for a price. One reason the NHS got hit hard was that some penny pinching bureaucrat decided they could not afford to pay said price.
The code's a bit rough, I have a bit of cleanup to go before I publish it.
Yeah, the important one it offers is "Not Now". If you tell it "Not Now", it will not install that update, period. Windows 10, by default, will install those updates automatically and pick a random time or immediately reboot.

If I'm out of town for 2 weeks, I cannot have my Windows 10 machine reboot, it runs the software for my security cameras and that can't start until I log back in. Thankfully, I set up Windows Update to not install updates automatically(Win10 Pro) way back when it came out and it has continued to stick. Major updates are a constant worry that they will finally break this forever when it shouldn't even be a concern in the first place.
IANAL, but I have had the pleasure of having several in my family. One of the things I've come to learn is (again, U.S. centric) that you don't typically get out of legal trouble once you're in the authorities' clutches by "technical cleverness". You don't know at the time described by the parent poster what other evidence might exist, and that includes faulty witness statements. If you mislead the prosecutors to destroy harmless data that could have gotten the whole case dismissed through a technicality, the act could be used in the worst way against you. Don't help the prosecution. Keep your mouth shut and your data expressedly off-limits until you get your legal representation.

I didn't. I missed where you gave the title of your handout, though of course I did hear the description and much that followed.

> Anecdotally (I know, I know), I've ordered a few things recently from Walmart that were cheaper than they were on Amazon. Each time I received the items multiple days later than what the website told me. e.g. "2 day" shipping taking 4 business days.

Meh. Amazon does that to me (yes I have Prime) ~1/4 of the time too, and I don't live in the sticks. They also don't use any of their weird non-FedEx/UPS/USPS handlers here. "2 day shipping" becomes 4-5 business days. At least if Wal-Mart does it I haven't paid a membership fee for the privilege.
Instead of telling you what they recommended, I'm going to give you my modern list instead of assurance activities that could be considered for the next evaluation scheme. Orange Book had a subset of these. I pulled from the whole field to get a larger list.

Intel binned that product line a while back; the "ARM GPU" you're thinking of is actually a PowerVR design that Intel licensed to use on the Poulsbo Atom chips.

It was a complete unmitigated disaster. The GPU was slow and had endless driver bugs, and it was made worse by Intel having to negotiate with ImaginationTech for driver support... Not at all surprising Intel stepped up their own GPU game in response.
The problem is of course the fact that 6+ i7 chips don't actually fit the consumer motherboards, but you need to go to the server segment where MBs are significantly more expensive and lack a whole slew of additional features nice for desktop machines.

Homeless shelters specifically for men do exist.

Here's one in my area, the Free Clinic Beacon House. It is specifically for single homeless men.
https://stpetersburgfreeclinic.org/beacon-house-2/

If you Google around, there's also homeless programs that specifically focus on veterans, homeless programs that specifically focus on women with children, and homeless shelters specifically focusing on dual parent families with children. Along with shelters for substance abuse, shelters for domestic violence victims, and general purpose shelters.

I can see the need for some separation in charities, to help charities focus more on various issues that may be more prevalent with one group vs. another.

> they're meant to hand that intelligence off to e.g. the FBI to investigate.

Of course. That's why there are different organizations. But any examples of such "handling off" to FBI or Police - is what I'm asking.
How do they go about enforcing this?
Can C++ make use of this new Go library? It is my understanding that Go can now create shared libraries. That was my holdup for not adopting Go earlier on... it wasn't a good choice to write libraries in.

What are you going to spend your VERY limited time+money on? Finding a good Linux hardware developer to roll some custom solution that no one can understand or support?

Just install some distro and "just throw together some hacky Python". If you had some hardware and measurement instruments that require Windows for drivers then I could understand it, otherwise it's just negligence.

> or .net MVP that will run on Windows which practically anyone in the world can troubleshoot with basic knowledge?

In my experience people who claim that they could troubleshoot Windows is usually just that - they claim it but rarely can they actually fix anything.

I don't know, maybe Windows is that much better and easier to use for everyone and I just can see it - who knows...
For lower level courses (say calc and below) the books written in the early 1900's for students seem better. Of course there are plenty of stinkers there too, but it seems being able to explain a topic in a clear concise manner with applications was prized more. The text books my kids have in comparison are utter garbage in their effort to present the material in dozens of nonsensical manners to help those that didn't understand the primary methods. Plus "challenge" problems that rely on missing knowledge abound. The perfect example I had of this is when my child was in 3rd grade as part of the homework there was a set of algebraic word problems with multiple variables. When I confronted the teacher, she didn't see anything wrong with teaching a "trick" to solve problems where the underlying math was two or three grade levels ahead (said trick, was so narrow an unwieldy to basically be useless for any kind of problem more complex than ones made up for 3rd graders)...

The bottom line seems to be that the "noise" level keeps increasing to the point where the core fundamental concepts are lost. Which is to bad, because teaching "tricks" which don't clarify the problems, or make them simpler to solve is IMHO just a waste of time.

BTW; For abstract algebra there are a number of "applications" books which teach the core concepts necessarily to understand error correction or whatever. Use those books first, and then read the more traditional text books. The textbooks should be considered more of a reference book than something that should be read from cover to cover. (although that itself is a problem because jumping into the middle isn't easy).
Only Lyft and Google know how much non-engineer time is going into that though. Google gives engineering quite a bit of leeway to use whatever they want, rather than necessarily foist something on them that a manager bought over a round of golf. (Envoy is open source.)

I would personally use an enterprise Linux distro for something like health records and other critical data, but you can Windows 10 similar to how you use Windows 7, and it's a faster OS. You just need to spend some time to get your settings in place.

I was in the same camp of you as Windows 10 vs 7 until I saw how much Windows 10 sped up an old machine of mine.
Since JS is already quite fast nowadays, how much faster will WASM typically be?

(Yes, I know, it depends. I'm just looking for a rough estimate.)
> It's worth pointing out that while some outlets (Guardian etc) report it as just another NGO, Cage is an Islamist pressure group.

Alright, so all the Christian pressure groups should get that kind of treatment in your view then?

If not, given CAGE isn't pro-terrorist and is simply pro-Islam, you even pointing that out is...really questionable judgment on your part.
>I would like to find a white hat site that prepares a report on what they can find about you.

This would be difficult to start as it would require trust. I already do exactly this ("white hat doxing") but do you trust that that is actually what I'm doing? Maybe it would be easier as an established corporation with an explicit privacy policy.

>I've been wondering if it is possible to dox my Reddit account.

You can make it much more time consuming and more difficult (read: but not impossible) to do so by using this userscript as frequently as possible: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10380-reddit-overwrite

I personally run it for all posts older than 2~3 weeks (when activity/relevance of the post is nearly equivalent to "0").

Some sites still archive posts w/o updating for any future edits, there is web cache, etc. But those are far harder to search and tie together than simply browsing your comments on your profile. Note that some subreddits may ban you for using it and you'll get a bunch of AutoModerator posts asking you not to do that because of thread integrity and blah blah blah.
Is this enforceable? Or is it more of a "If you get caught using it in the future more legal ramifications?"

I think it's a bit misleading to say he learned math from those books. He got his start there, but surely the bulk of his mathematical knowledge was more advanced. However, it's quite possible that he retained the attitude from those early books. It seems to me though that he already had that attitude prior to reading the "practical man" books, and it is more that they particularly resonated with him because of it.
I think MS wanted this in Win10 (hence the big push on the consumer side by giving it away for free). The problem is that plenty of people, even people who should know better, don't want to upgrade something they think is "working well" for an advantage they can't see.
It's not a dodge unless it's being proposed as an acceptable alternative to reforming these powers, not merely a way to cope with them. You can reasonably attempt to implement both technological and political solutions.

You'll note that many of those expenses are things the majority of the world lacks (homes with electricity, internet and running water/education expenses/entertainment budgets larger than most peoples total yearly income). If this is a valid defense of that policy why isn't "of course I need to make 10 million a year I have 3 mortgages, 5 luxury cars and a fully crewed yacht" a defence for keeping things as is? What is fundamentally different?
Agreed.

When contracts are redlined in any way, even relatively small companies have procedures in place to require review by the legal counsel. As soon as you introduce lawyers, the delays kick in and nobody is happy.

I was like 6 or 7 and we had this old Ohio Scientific. I think I was failing to get some really simple BASIC program to run and then started crying and my mom had me call my dad at work.

Really?

Imagine a person in a locked building with ticking bomb, authorities are nowhere in sight. People, including loved ones, are vulnerable.

Should that person just wait and do nothing for the fear of you, sir, SomeStupidPoint, had created a law that holds that person accountable if something goes wrong?

Its her life and your law doesn't mean a thing, if not downright unethical and tormenting. She has every right to try to defuse or shield the bomb.

Should the IT departments of fortune 500 companies not try to respond and save their assets or should they just wait for Authorities?

You think a ticking time bomb is a crime scene, I think of it as a self-defense situation that hasn't played out completely yet. She has full right to self-defense, successful or not.

Look, ma, words on paper, that must stop bad things from happening right? Ma? Maaaa?

Wow. The Optiplex is $10 AUD cheaper.

It's not cheaper.
Best i can tell, what Android does is download a delta patch.

Then apply that to a local copy of the previous APK.

If that goes well, it attempts to install the new APK alongside the old install.

And if that works out, the user data is switched over and the old install and APK removed.

So at certain points during the install you need to have enough space for two full installs of the app, and the APKs they came in.
I have an original iPad 2, and it still works (mostly) fine. The browser likes to crash on the weather.com map. But, outside of that, and few other choice crashes, it works fine. Youtube app works perfect, and I use some iOS synths like Animoog and PPG Wave without any issues.

And, the battery still lasts for a long time. If I don't touch it for a few days, it's charge is where I left it. Pretty amazing. No reason to upgrade this thing.
I appreciate the insight in this article, but I wish I could remove all of the predictions. The insight (to me) is that it may be a good idea to take tools your company uses and make them into products, for several reasons. That's interesting and valuable to me to consider.

But there are also predictions: "Amazon’s lead will only grow over the coming decade, and I don’t think there is much that any other retailer can do to stop it."

The author is tunneling on one thing Amazon does. He will escape accountability for his boldness because nobody will remember this article at the end of "the coming decade." If he's right, he can drag it back out and say he called it. Otherwise, no harm.
I live in Berlin and that got me to thinking that maybe I should research available services from shops here.

AFAIK in Berlin there are multiple choices available. It seems that almost every discount brand and Kaufland have delivery service. As my German is pretty weak I can't find a comparison between them. I think that probably Lidl and Kaufland should have the widest assortment.

Could anyone tell me their opinion about all these?

EDIT: I found a comparison: http://www.bild.de/ratgeber/leben-und-wissen-verbraucherport...
A brief dig didn't get me to any cited data. They refer (without link) to "Global Rich List", which might be http://www.globalrichlist.com/.

Scrolling through all their infographics, I finally get to this: "For the income track, we've used the most recent (2008) statistics from the World Bank, based on household surveys. Here we rank you against the entire world population at the time of the surveys, estimated at 6.69 billion people."
A good dictionary will also document widespread distaste for particular usages, though. It's a losing battle with any intensifier -- we've already lost "really" and "very" to this problem, and "literally" will pass too. That doesn't mean it's not worth trying to extend its life a little longer, though.

("Objectively" is also being used as an intensifier in casual conversation, though I think always with a touch of irony... Good fun.)

You'd then argue that it's the job of the less experienced people around to deeply understand the world's problems. I don't think it's a good argument at all.
It would also help if Windows 10 didn't restart the machine automatically in the least favourable time, when you just went to make yourself a tea while having a zillion of programs opened, and the process didn't end up with a blue screen (both happened to me in the last few months; ok ok they allow now to choose "inactive hours" or whatever it's called, but initially you had a choice between "restart now" or "restart in 10 minutes", really dark pattern to impose things on users).

But yeah I get a notif when the update is available and I install it whenever possible.

Regarding unwanted features, have you tried Classic Shell / Classic Start Menu? Literally first thing I install on a new Windows installation.
Vaccines can have negative effects. Both that is overwhelmed by the positive effects.
You can call it 'wealth redistribution' or you can call it 'an acknowledgement that things like the state enforcement of the artifice of private property in urban areas results in humans being unable to build themselves homes'.
The only downsides to this setup is it take longer to boot and apps take longer to start. Since I never shut it off booting isn't an issue and from what I've noticed it's only the first time you load an app that is slow. If you quit and restart them they load pretty fast.

This is the forum post I followed to setup the Pi to boot from the HD, I think it may be newer than the one you found:

It'll actually probably be more than 180W given that AMD is lowballing their Ryzen 7 TDPs. Those chips are more in the 120-130W range under a typical (non-Prime95) load - so unless they drop the clocks on the 16C chips a bit (which is very plausible), you can expect something closer to 250W TDP.

https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/AMD-Ryzen-7-1800X-R...

This is pretty much normal for HEDT chips though. Both Ryzen and Broadwell-E/Haswell-E hit ~230W already when you overclock them - and add another 75-100W for Prime95 loads.

I doubt you'll see too many people overclocking the 16C chips even if they're unlocked. You would race right past 300W, probably closer to 400W. You'd need like a 360mm liquid cooler to even think about it.
That's my question. Given that Uber claims they weren't using the technology... how can you tell if they stopped? Just forbid them from using LIDAR altogether?
Not going to their physical stores can be rational. The one nearest us is sadness made manifest. All the workers and shoppers seem like they hate life. Plus, no-one who shops there knows how to exist in a space with other people without constantly being in the way. The place can be 1/2 as busy as Target, and feel twice as busy because no-one there knows how to walk properly, nor do they seem aware there are other people in their world at all. Perhaps this relates to the intense sadness they all project. They seem lost in a fog, emphasis on lost.

The checkout lines are also usually 2-3x as long as Target, no matter how busy or not-busy it is (they more aggressively cut employee hours to the bare minimum required to function, I'd guess).

None of those apply online, though.
