The DSL provider in my area sets up customer's wireless networks with their home or mobile phone number as the password. If you know that number or can look it up in public records then you're in. If you can't find it maybe use a dictionary pertaining to the area code of phone numbers and then you're in. When the protocol changes to something more secure, the ISP's customer will still be as insecure as they always were.

Article is worth reading. Imo the upping of price after demand increase is awful.

That's right - wireless isn't a natural monopoly, but it is a natural oligopoly. Oligopolies tend to be better for consumers than monopolies, but still not great, because the firms involved only have to deal with a few competitors and tend to develop cartel characteristics.

Oligopolies also appear to be the future of the American economy, with new business formation on the decline and wealth + market share concentrating under the few largest players in many industries.

So perhaps the discussion we should be having is, should we do something about oligopolies, and what? We already have antitrust laws, are they adequate? Are they being enforced?
I think so. That also means that for shared or strictly managed computers, it won't be installed or installable.

> Of what purpose is a food stamp program when we can simply make sure the UBI is enough to live on?

Many what might be called “moderate UBI proponents” have argued that certain use-specific universal or means-tested programs will still be needed because of social costs of failure of individuals to allocate funds properly to certain needs. Different sets have been suggested, but usually one or more of healthcare, food, and housing support programs (in roughly declining order of frequency with which I've seen them suggested) are proposed.

Not really. He bought the product from someone else. If Amazon didn't need the money and just wanted the analytics, it would have undercut the physical store. The value of the analytics would be in the sale to another company to market to this person, but they fulfilled their need for the product when Amazon acquired the information. So it didn't benefit Amazon and by the time they could have sold it to a third-party, it was useless.

The Economist's ideology has become pretty mundane, they have drifted left over the years, and while they still defend free markets, they do it from a technocratic almost social-democratic point of view.

What is, and has been great about MS Paint is that no matter what Windows machine I have been on, I know that I have had it available. No matter if it's my old grandma's computer, if I have needed to quickly do something simple with an image, MS Paint has always been there for me. Now that will no longer be the case. If I have to download and install it on the computer before I use it, then what is the point? It will be faster to just google "MS paint online free" and click the first link.

Not just me then. I hated Windows 10 Calc so much, that I copied over calc.exe from Windows 7 and made the following registry change:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\CALC.EXE

(Default) C:\<PATH-TO-WINDOWS7-CALC>\calc.exe
Path C:\<PATH-TO-WINDOWS7-CALC>

Presto! Whenever you Win+R, Calc.exe - you get the Windows 7 one instead. This would work for any of the other apps listed in 'App Paths' too (or you can add your own).
Your comment is vague and unconstructive. I'd ask you to substantiate your claim, but its not even clear what that claim is.
Actually yeah I agree.

What would they have gone after Amazon for before? Not for acquisitions, right? Unless Zappos or Goodreads were too far. Or some AWS acqsitions.

The first thing I can think of is the BS they pulled when going against Quidsi. Lowering prices for things like diapers far too low among other things. Then being able to buy Quidsi when they were weakened.

Amazon has been monopolizing markets with low prices for 20 years.

I think if you wanted to construct a language for maximum learnability, you'd have to tackle it both from the perspective of a speaker/writer and a listener/reader. The language should allow a speaker to make any distinction they can in their native language, but not require them to make a distinction that is foreign to them. On the other hand, it should allow a listener to understand any distinction they could understand in their native language, but allow them to ignore everything else.

In practice, these requirements are obviously at odds with each other. You have to balance the freedom available to a speaker with the mental capacity of a listener. If you want to accomodate speakers of languages that allow free word order due to case marking, as well as languages that have a fixed word order, you might end up with case marking and marks to indicate a specific fixed word order. But then all of these markings would have to be understood by the listener, who'd have trouble keeping the various forms straight.

However, you might be able to quantify the learning effort required and optimize for that. This is obviously hard for grammar and semantics, but could be done for phonetics.

Instead of trying to intersect the phoneme sets in use, or giving up and choosing arbitrarily, you could collect statistics on the ability to produce and distinguish various phones, and then optimize for communicability. A speaker can pronounce a phoneme as well as the allophone that is easiest to pronounce for them, a listener can distinguish a pair of phonemes as well as the most similar combination of allophones from them. Then calculate the expectation over all pairings of speaker and listener, maximize the bandwidth accounting for the required error correction, and you get your perfect phoneme set. I'm actually interested what the result might look like, whether there will be a few, clearly separate phonemes, or a huge number with potential overlap, that needs to be compensated by unambiguous vocabulary.

It also occurred to me that this might somehow apply to constructing programming languages, but I'm hazy about the details. Maybe something like Python's "one way to do it" vs other languages supporting a variety of styles?

I think for quite a few people (including myself) it wasn't primarily about 1) his personal views being disagreeable to us, and/or 2) him 'expressing' these views through a donation, but rather 3) him being CEO of Mozilla.

I'm still not certain whether I agree with what happened entirely, but calling it ridiculous is a bit of a stretch.

Being in the position of CEO gives you many powers and perks, and I think it's perfectly acceptable that it also gives you responsibilities that may include 'not being controversial'. I'd say this is especially the case when you're CEO of a a very large, important, and well-known non-profit.

Basically, it's the whole 'with great power comes great responsibility thing'. People in positions of power can be held to standards that don't necessarily apply to everyone else.

I completely understand if people disagree with this position, but it's far from ridiculous.

(and of course I can't speak for those who do feel that aforementioned reason #1 and #2 are enough).
Centralised Group Policy Objects (GPOs) on the Windows Domain, can block any EXE that's on the machine, or a customised deployment image of Windows 10 can even be configured to not installed any of the built in applications. So yes, no snipping tool on a deployed installation of Windows 10 is a real scenario.

Also, GPOs can (and do) disable the Windows Store. So moving MSPaint to the Windows Store does not make as available as having it pre-installed.

That's a clickbait title if I ever saw one. It seems Microsoft is trying to force uwp apps down our throats. It is sad because classic programs systematically feels snappier and are more efficient. They show their age, but are definitely less annoying than their sexier windows 10 version.

Even if IF is nothing more than calorie restriction supporting the calories in/calories out hypothesis, it succeeds in creating a real psychological benefit - you get to have real, satisfying meals of food you actually like - you just have to wait longer for it.

If you're trying to lose weight, and you like food, the sight of the food in these 1200 calorie 3 meal daily plans is incredibly depressing. Eating an egg white on a piece of wheat toast every morning for the rest of your life is a kind of torture that never gets easier. It's like trying not to blink forever, or holding your breath forever.

Much better to just wait all day and spend the calories on a generous portion of something you really want to eat.

For some reason, I can't take this seriously coming from fox news. They seem to be having an agenda with the current president, and Amazon has been getting hit as a collateral for feuds against the Washington post.

Either way, the article concludes with the vendor saying he think its just an issue with tweaking their algorithms, and not an actual tactic from Amazon.

Is there any other source that claim the same?

I still consider that attitude a bad one, because it detracts from the seriousness of the issue. When people say "this is not new" many of those who read that will go "well, I guess I shouldn't be that outraged about it" - even if they were super-outraged a minute ago. The only thing that changed is that they learned that "it's not new", which implies "they can't do anything about it anyway, so they should just settle down".

I've seen a lot of these comments post-Snowden revelations, even though they were false, and that the mass-scale on which the NSA surveillance operated was indeed new - at least a decade new, but even newer if you consider how many people knew about it until then.
I think it's a good thing that Microsoft is reducing the size of their base OS and decoupling many of the apps from the Windows release cycle.

It definitely does, however, feel like the end of a era.

So it appears in practice Amazon is cheaper, at least until local stores price match.
Well, the text is free so you can just read the article...

Though most of the paper's studies are based on observational and survey data, which is typically where the 'correlation is not causation' criticism is most effective, the authors actually perform a experiment. They give $40 to two groups of participants and task them to make a time-saving purchase and a material purchase, and survey their happiness after each purchase.

Their results from this experiment are inconsistent with your proposed hypothesis as they've controlled for baseline happiness by randomizing the groups. See materials and methods, study 8 from the linked article.

Edit: it's also in the abstract! "A field experiment provides causal evidence that working adults report greater happiness after spending money on a time-saving purchase than on a material purchase."
It's a good point, though they did also measure how time-stressed people felt. People who felt time-poor but didn't buy time-saving services had poorer life satisfaction. If you were time stressed and bought the services, you were protected from some of the negative effects.

"In contrast, for respondents who spent money on time-saving purchases (n = 804), the negative effect of time pressure on life satisfaction was relatively weak, B = −0.03, Z = 1.46, P = 0.144, 95% CI (−0.08, 0.01). These results suggest that using money to buy time indeed buffers people from the negative effects of time stress on well-being."
