The point I was making was that popularity does not equal quality. This doesn't mean I think gangnam style is particularly bad, but is it the best?

I think very little can be gaged from the amount of views something gets on the internet, be it the daily mail or gangnam style.

Every death threat is serious. Not many result in death, but that's not how we define serious is it?

More importantly, I can't come up with a reasonable argument that it's ever constructive to the conversation to be allowed to threaten someone.
Yes, but you needed to configure that. This comes enabled by default. And on Windows Home/Pro, it downloads updates from third-parties on the internet too.

Regardless of its status on HN, I should consider subscribing. It looks like it's about $400/year for a digital subscription. A little over a dollar a day is very reasonable. And it looks like there are specials going on right now: $198/year for the first year; or $99 for six months; or $1 for two months. https://buy.wsj.com/wsjusmemorial17/

As for using the headline as a prompt for discussion, I'm quite sure that's all that drives many commenters on HN :)
Maybe they changed it, but I just checked my fresh install of Pro build 1703 from MSDN and it was disabled.
I watched a documentary on GE not that long ago, it wasn't anything new, probably 10 year old or so.
Anyway, one of the things that really stood out to me was that GE has a command center where they are able to monitor the performance of all their engines in near real time, as they are flying throughout the world. All of their (newer, I assume) engines have build in data links that call home to the control center.
This obviously allows them to see issues really quickly and solve problems nearly before they happen.

It just struck me as one of those things that makes perfect sense, but I never really thought that much about it before seeing it.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this in automobiles these days, (maybe Tesla?) but I can't imagine it will be long before it's common place.

Have you tried from a mobile device or using a mobile browser's user agent? Seems like a lot of work but right now a lot of companies care only about mobile views and want to show growth in it-- so there's some reason to believe it would work for mobile but not for desktop. Simply because the company doesn't want to send away mobile traffic so their metrics look good.

Why blame a shop which is not really operating in or near your country? It's also not NZ law they need to follow. But I would also stay away from one buy IMHO... you can cancel always (if no digital goods) and you are fast enough.

This is a little chilling. As a home user on Win7, I've avoided Win10, but thought I'd eventually upgrade, just to enjoy newer hardware. I'd thought I could just invest in Enterprise, about $100 these days, and be able to control the more intrusive aspects.
Guess not.

Choosing between libraries is a common, not-totally-solved problem. Some good indicators that one library is better than another:

- more recently updated

- more total commits

- more Github stars

- more closed issues

- fewer stale issues (issues opened a long time ago, but not fixed)

I'm a millennial, who's just leaving university and coming into the job market. I was lucky enough to pick a degree with actual job prospects, so I'm earning a decent wage.

However, there is no chance of me buying property in my country anytime soon (probably for at least a decade, if I'm lucky). At the current rate I could max save at, I'll only come within striking range in 50 years.
If the best way to improve the lives of Haitians is to place them under the rule of (probably white) foreigners, why do it by emigration?

After all, it's not like it's the dirt that's causing their problems. We agree they need foreign rule, but instead of bringing them to foreign rule, we could bring foreign rule to them.

Rather than exporting the whole population, it seems like it'd be a lot easier to import a few tens of thousands of foreign bureaucrats, leaders, and functionaries to run the senior half of government. The U.S. could take over the country and turn it into a Puerto-Rico like protectorate.

This would be much faster and less disruptive to both the U.S. and Haiti.

I'm surprised that only 10% of people would drop Apple first. I would have guessed that way more than 10% of people don't own a single Apple product. I wonder if maybe the NYT's readership is biased toward Apple owners?

(My ranking: I'd drop Apple and MSFT easily since I don't use anything by either company. FB would be easy to drop but I do use it and would miss it a little. Amazon and Google would be significantly more work to let go of.)
As a long-time NYT reader, I can't speak to whether they are better than other new sources, but in areas that I know well, they generally get it wrong, at times leaving vital information out. At other times, they have done well, when they have jouralnsts who are also specialist write articles. For example, some of the articles on nuclear power are co-written by a PhD in physics, but oddly it seems like he is not a contributor on all articles about nuclear power.

Many of the medical articles are not full of complete information or an understanding of healthcare and public health.

Also, many stories on Israel are lacking context and completeness perhaps in some attempts to be "balanced." For example, the NYT does not discuss that the current Fatah Palestinian administration names childrens schools and streets after terrorists. They don't bring up enough that Fatah pays money to the families of terrorists, both dead and those in Israeli jails. That money they use to pay for terrorists comes from American taxpayers.

It may, because it doesn't have to build it's own network effect, it can piggyback on emails existing userbase, which is basically everyone.

I was talking with my housemate, we came up with the idea of a combination push and pull following mechanism. I can offer you the option to follow me by sending you a mail with the X-SOCIAL header and a "follow offer" header content, plus a really simple mail body that says "hey, substance just asked you to join their social updates list. it seems you don't have a social client, <click here> to get one". If you've got a social client installed already, the body gets hidden and you get the follow offer in your social client.

However, you could also send me a mail with the X-SOCIAL "follow request" header, and a similar introductory body: "Hey, skewart wants to keep in touch with you via social mail. Download a social client <here> to connect with them". If I have a social client installed, I get a friend request instead.

The great thing is, your email inbox has a timestamped record of all these requests, so it's like a somewhat unreliable replayable social history, which means if I don't have a social client, I can read the introductory body, go grab a social client and come back, and it will re-parse my inbox and offer me the same follow request, no need for you to resend it.

God damn it, now I like this idea.
I don't really want to recover actually.

What I meant was I got to know more about how the world works, and the world is a messy place the more you know about it. So basically what i meant was the world let me down a little. It is impossible to "unknow" what you already know, so that's what i meant when i can't recover, which is a good thing (although some people may decide to take it negatively)

So in my case there have been no downside and only upsides. I regret 0% of the decisions I made and the "burnouts" have been just part of the experience. Just like how when you date someone and you go through all the fights and perils, and it feels like hell when you're living it, but in a couple of years it's all good memory (not talking about weird cases like an abusive partner)
Weird, I don't really use any of those companies

Except apparently, Google, Facebook and Microsoft [1]. If you have any apps installed then probably AWS also indirectly or maybe even fulfillment that you don't know is coming from one of their FCs

That's not even mentioning that you're tracked across the world by them even if you don't go there directly.

I think the only person that doesn't use any of those and is still on the internet directly is RMS [2]

The idea that you can actually live in modern society and not touch one of the big 5 is misguided.

I would never have been able to buy an apartment if my parents hadn't put up their own house as collateral. The bank required 20% at the time, but with the collateral I only needed something like 5%, which I could afford. I had no issues paying the down payments, which came to about the same as I used to pay in rent. A few years later I had paid down enough that they could take off my prents' home from the collateral, and 10 years later I had something that had increased 100% in market value.

I imagine most millennials aren't lucky enough to be able to do this.

Property prices in popular metros mean they should probably be looking elsewhere, but the list of attractive places probably isn't that long. Detroit, maybe? Baltimore?
You very much did. Go reread your comment.

You lost me is me telling you that I was entertaining your argument up to the point where you called the majority who voted for someone else sore losers.

The 'kool kid' slur seems pretty unnecessary. What value does that add to your argument?
This article demonstrates the mess you can get into when you mix OOP with metaprogramming and why Ruby has a bad reputation for encouraging it. Metaprogramming seems to compound the contortions of OOP in contrast to the elegance macros add to functional languages like Clojure and Elixir. Ruby's method_missing and instance_eval seem like ugly hacks compared with the simple quote/unquote of Lisp-based languages.
I actually finally managed to divorce most of my data (apart from search) from google. I'm running LineageOS without gapps, using microG for the play services. Geolocalisation is done with a service provided by mozilla (which I trust a lot more), and it's been working great for now. For the maps app, I use OSMand, and eventually, I hope to use my own backend for GCM (though that will require some changes to microG).

My contacts and calendar are synchronized with a webdav server called radicale that I self-host. I also self-host my own mail with a postfix+dovecot setup.

Really, the last remaining google service I use is google search. And I've hit a brick wall there. The alternatives just suck too much. DDG's search result has been consistently terrible, and while I still hope qwant will one day turn into a great product, right now the search result are still significantly poorer than google's.

Android doesn't count with a setup similar to mine, because it's all open source and doesn't communicate with google outside of expectations :).
The cohesiveness of existing communities is always going to be at odds with the ability of new communities to form and take hold. It's almost heartwarming that Boomers built lives they love so much, they're willing to go to such lengths to prevent any change.

I expect the Boomers would have faced the same thing from their parents and grandparents. What saved them was, rather than pushing inwards to city land already occupied by the powerful, they pushed outwards to sprawl, or into racial minority neighborhoods which didn't, at the time, have a legal mechanism to meaningfully resist.

When society saw how destructive this was, it made it much harder to repeat. This is, often, the history of downzoning and the origin of those processes that notify and invite busybodies to stop development. There are moral justifications behind these controls (particularly as they apply to disadvantaged neighborhoods), and to get anything done, we'll have to engage with them.

We're completely screwed now because the door is closed to "urban renewal," and sprawl is at its natural limits (under the levels of investment in public transit currently contemplated), and the impetus to live in cities with these problems is more economic necessity than personal taste.

People using socially non-aware clients would have to set up a filter. I would also include friendly "I see you don't have a socially aware email client, get one here" bodies with all messages. The data transfer becomes the marketing tool.
> In the early 1700s, Peter the Great, the czar of Russia, was busy nabbing land from his western neighbor, the Swedish Empire.

Amazon have little to no presence in Australia currently, but that could change.

I'd love to get away from Facebook, but as previously discussed[1], my nooby friends are the main thing holding me back.

Microsoft seem to have mostly picked up their game in recent years, so I have no problem with sticking with them. That said, I refused to fully integrate like I have with Google (mail, calendar, etc.), because their products just don't seem to work as well.

This was interesting. It made me think about which services each provider has that I personally would really miss if they were to suddenly dissappear tomorrow, and the only one that would have a big negative effect would be google maps.

I don't use facebook at all. I can count the things I've ordered on amazon (in all 30+ years of my life) on one hand. I don't use microsoft or apple products unless I'm forced to because of some work related project. And this isn't even out of any crazy principles or anything. I simply like linux distros better than apple/msft. I use an android phone but mainly just the phone functionality personally (i.e. like a good ol nokia + gmaps).

Funny, I would of thought it would have effected me personally a lot more, especially me being a software developer and all. But honestly it would make my life a lot easier, then cross-platform would be just linux :)
Now this right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdSD07U5uBs?t=1362 is the problem: if you follow the idea of computers as virtualisers where it leads you do not, in the general case, end up with the flat backplane talked about from 23:15 and shown in the accompanying slide. (Actually, this is in turn probably just a symptom of another, more general problem.)

TL;DR -- because developers love it. I clicked the article hoping there was some strategic background, some connection to the Oracle lawsuit, etc. Nop, the answer to "why" is "because of its merits". Also in this article, some backstory about the name "Kotlin".

I have no idea where your native land is, but you could go against mainstream with a house boat. I'm trying to get a SV refugee camp here in North Florida around housing in the St Johns. In Florida if you are a resident, you can park your boat on the river. So if we can co-op a boat community on the river complete with WiFi broad band, I think we could all live happily ever after.

You can get a liveable boat with out a shower, used without a shower for 7k US. Think microhouse with Manatees in the winter.

I just wait until someone here summarizes the article, and posts it here---it's usually more concise, and less wordy. And after a few hours, with all the people chiming in, why bother to read the original article.

Whether it's incompetence or malice, it's wholly unprofessional.

My confidence was already shaken with MS through their entire Win 10 Campaign and it's now completely gone. Their paid support services are hit and miss and if I'm going to end up supporting things that my client is paying MS to support then they're out and my client gets a smaller TCO overall.
I'll have to work with some of them so their business remain viable during the transition but I'm willing to do that. Their growth is our growth. Payment plans, trade, whatever we can come up with to make this happen.
For every one thing MS has done, loudly, in the attempt to instill trust they've done 5 things, quietly, that harm it. There are too many viable platforms available and if money is the only obstacle then I'll mitigate that for our clients benefit.
