My money's on this happening due to an internal power struggle within Microsoft. The Windows division was historically the top dog within Microsoft (probably on par with Office).

They can't maintain that status: PC renewal cycles are long and the PC market is decreasing, both in terms of market share and in absolute values. I guess they're trying to get more money from this stable or even shrinking market share.

My guess is that at some point Microsoft bosses will really start butting heads and Azure/developer tools + Office/enterprise applications won't budge, especially since they're on the rise. Windows damaging Microsoft's reputation hurts all their businesses and I doubt they will let this happen for long.

I believe big parts of Windows will become more and more open and even Windows itself could open sourced within 10 years, at most.
In the UK the law is complicated on keeping weaponry in the house, that said when I was burgled the police officer attending in the morning suggested a baseball bat to be kept with a ball therefore it is a sports accessory and not a weapon.

Well, considering that Linux as a Desktop OS is totally open but it's still at very low single digits for desktop use, and that all the "comes with Linux pre-installed" ventures failed to gain any traction, I'd say lots of people don't care for that kind of openness at all over use of use, practicality, polish, etc.

Not to mention that mobile devices are now far less locked than they used to be for the average user. For the first 10 years of mobile phones, they came just with the apps that the vendor offered and no APIs, or very limited crapware (e.g. in mobile Java) -- now there are 1.5 million apps to chose from, many of incredible quality.
Lightsynth is the first mobile ADR(Scene-Adaptive Dynamic Range) camera for alternating traditional HDR. It allows having done with all kinds of exposure trouble under tricky lighting situations such as daylight skies, backlit, or low-light. Through this project, we are dreaming for finally changing the way to capture the photography from the manual exposure control to autonomous.

Lightsynth's advanced exposure estimation technology based on intelligent evaluative algorithm will be optimized for the current scene. The camera also supports three weight mode, Balance, Highlight, and Shadow-Weighted metering mode. It means you can select the priority of each area that has different brightness. For example, If a user wants to take best selfies under the bright sun, can choose the "Shadow-Weighted Metering" mode. And the smart autopilot mode allows to automatically capture you or it will suggest the best photographing timing in the difficult situations for taking pictures.

I agree there is nothing remarkable about this, you are simply working... remotely. I think the cases people have a problem with are the "get rich quick" schemes that promise a life on the beach with a content website that delivers very little to the world given that most topics have now been done to death. Run by people who very much were in the right place at the right time when Google could be manipulated and there was no competition. People who sell nothing but a dream off the back of a shaky business model that adds little value and no longer works.

You've built products, you put the work in and you're generating revenue off the back of it. It's a model that's been around and it's cool that you don't have to be tied to an office to deliver it. I don't think anyone should have a problem with seeing how this works.

Definitely wearing my Apple fanboy hat here, but...

> Let me give a courtesy remainder that it is "... until Apple change their mind".

I'm going to propose that there has been ~1 legitimate case of this in iOS history. Maybe 2?

I feel like for the most part, the original guidelines were pretty solid. While they weren't complete and have been changed significantly since the original publication, most of this has been to add guidelines around new features (like push notifications), and to clarify rules. This clarification could be read as Apple changing their mind, but I reckon almost every instance has been 'obvious' and that it would almost always be apps that were knowingly skirting way too close to the rules, and not acting within the spirit of the guidelines, that got burned.
"It is a sad indictment of the human condition that wherever there is a market, people will strive to find a profit margin even when this results in human exploitation.

This is true of all markets, though. Plenty have been and are exploited in labor markets of all sorts. If the mere possibility of exploitation is sufficient to justify outlawing a market, then we must illegalize the hiring of miners, fruit pickers, construction workers, even office secretaries, which are occasionally sexually exploited by their bosses.

Because having a market for everything with no bounds isn't a good thing.

Sure, but why shouldn't the bound be after this? Certain markets would still be illegal.

-

By the way, I'm not necessarily convinced that it should be a market, I just find these arguments weak.

This is about learning how to program solely on an android phone.

the assignment i believe would not require typing very long and complex programs and may be if they do, i would try to do it in batches.

Once a person has learnt programming on a smartphone, she could graduate to work on an actual laptop or desktop.

But this is an experiment or a research project kind of thing, and it is too early to count the chickens.

The overwhelming majority of laptop users only use their computers in places that have wifi, so a mobile data connection isn't something they'd be willing to pay for. Plus, for those who do want to use their computer in more remote places, tethering to a phone is a perfectly acceptable solution.

In other words, too few people want one to make it worthwhile making them.

I'd argue that this depends a lot how the code is structured. Back in the day of Win32 and MFC it was not unusual at all to very tightly integrate logic and the UI, often even outsourcing parts of state machines to GUI controls etc.; such a code base is difficult to port to anything. If, on the other hand, the application is written in a more layered approach, then porting from one toolkit to another may mean to just re-engineer the UI and only the UI. Complex custom controls mentioned by Raphael below are another factor.

A lot of issues would be solved if multiple such cities covered a state,however if there will be only a few such beautiful cities then expect the crowd coming in all the time and once the momemtum picks up the city will expand. And controlling the crowd can be a nightmare. But it can be achieved.
Adding a low carbon footprint methods like solar cookers,urban forests(dont mind the insects) may help also.

>> violating semantics is a syntax error

That's a very strange thing to say. The thing with human language is you can say anything you like, including things that make no sense at all and things that are syntactically incorrect. You can easily find examples of meaningless, syntactically correct sentences, like Jabberwocky ("All mimsy were the Borogoves and the mome raths outgrabe" etc). It's also easy to find examples of sensible sentences with incorrect structure (see twitter.com).

In fact, what is "incorrect syntax" keeps changing all the time, but we can still say the same things as we always could (plus a probably infinite many new things besides). If syntax was tied to meaning as tight as you say, we'd probably have only one or two languages and no dialects. Language would be a static, unchanging thing and we'd need no NLP, or translators etc.

They play too much politics, I like to keep politics out of tech.
You were going to protest it? And do you think anyone would care about your protest? Do you really expect everyone else to annotate the entire internet on your behalf? Despite the fact that this is a totally random, joke website that is almost certainly not work related?

What about people in countries or workplaces where "unacceptable" is a far broader and more oppressive net than "contains nudity", or places where nudity is fine? For whom do we annotate the internet? Maybe you should just disable auto-load of images in your browser or install a nudity filter.

This is insane.
Wikipedia articles are often dominated by fans of the subject. When people have financial interest in driving up the value of their favorite coins it gets worse.

You're making a common mistake among tech people that ad optimisation is worthless.

Ad optimization has reduced the cost of customer acquisition for millions of businesses. In the bad old days you just had to buy a billboard or tv spot and hope for the best, acquiring customers was an order of magnitude more expensive than it is now.

Many of the online services you use today (SaaS, online dating, mobile games, etc.) would have very different unit economics without ad optimization - a lot of them would be economically unviable.

Ad optimization might be unglamorous but it has an important role in market based economies.

>> It subscribes to the "first order" rules (or an overly simplistic model), but isn't a sentence that an English speaker would use.

Well, an English speaker did use it.

Btw, who do you consider an "English speaker"? Do I count as an English speaker? My native language is Greek but I speak English as a foreign language. I often say things that a native English speaker wouldn't say- but they convey a meaning that I wish to express. Do these utterances count as things that "an English speaker would use", or not?

I say they do. English speakers can say anything they like. In fact, they do, everyday, and as they do their language changes along with that.

Human language seems to be a lot more flexible than what you give it credit for. Semantics being just some sort of higher-order syntax (which btw we just haven't found yet) would make for a much more limited language ability than what we currently have. We'd be restricted to only a finite set of forms and we could only say a finite number of things. Obviously, that's not the case.
