I would say it’s actually because they’re pushing customers to Office365 which they’re leveraging to get them using Azure. To be competitive they need Office365. To use Office365 in an enterprise scenario you pretty much have to use Azure AD. And just like that you’re already an Azure customer and are already hosting sensitive data in their cloud. Why bother with AWS or GCP when your slow security approval process has already evaluated and approved Azure at the same time as Office365?

Keeping the AD sync stuff under the Azure umbrella was a genius move really. Microsoft understands big enterprises along with their politics and slow processes.

But going to N shops is more convenient than going to N shops + 1 bank isn't it? I mean it is literally strictly less places to visit.

> whereas a card can withdraw...whatever your limit

That's not my liability - it's the card company's. As long as I'm not negligent, like giving someone my PIN, I am not liable for someone stealing my card and using it. I don't lose anything.

I'm strictly liable for less value with card than cash.

> Where? Around here, card transactions always take longer.

How does it manage to take longer? Don't you have contactless in Germany? If you don't, then that's the problem - not the cards themselves.

The last point seems debatable given Germany's backward card infrastructure, but for liability and number of places I have to visit, it just seems a mathematical fact that cards are more convenient.

They're definitely not judging the internet like a media publication; for the most part, they're quite happy to defend almost anything their fellow publications do. They're treating it like a dangerous new threat that's not part of their clique and is eating directly into their profit margins. Compare, for example, how they cover Google and Facebook's compliance with the GDPR and abuse of personal data with how they cover publications doing the same. For instance Fortune and Forbes are doing some heiniously noncompliant stuff in order to ensure they can use people's personal info for profit, but this doesn't seem to be getting any coverage. In order to view this very article, you must go through a forced-consent wall of the very kind the GDPR forbids.

Those are the only two options? Now that I know that, instead of what a practical person might deem as an option which is to repeal the law, the EU and GDPR proponents' mindsets make a lot more sense. I often wondered why new legislation was piled on older legislation that wasn't even enforced then, and why other statues wrt cookies and what not cannot be seen by legislators as more bad than good and worth removing. Now I know.

I've always thought the same thing. ip addr's output sucks compared to ifconfig.

Looking at it more closely now, ip addr's output doesn't seem that difficult to fix. Remove that random number before the adapter name (what the hell is that anyway? The order in which the adapter appeared? If so, why are not in that order?)

I think that alone would make it so much more readable! Maybe white space between each entry with a flag?

All of the help sections are awful too. I feel like I'm looking at language grammar definition instead of useful usage information.

I agree with the author that there has been progress. Oddly enough, the more important philosophy becomes, the more invisible it is to people -- even the people making the progress! The ideas are the air, the questions are being asked, and leading practitioners, many times simply from being part of the environment, pick up the conversation in a much better place than they would have, say, 50 years ago.

The interesting question is the reverse: where has the progress of philosophy failed or gone backwards? (I imagine asking and talking about such a question would be quite controversial!)
I think it's decently plausible if your Alexa hears you, but you don't hear your Alexa. So you continue on your conversation, and you say enough to keep progressing the flow.

The Facebook/Cambridge Analytica thing definitely seemed to open up more US legislators to the idea. Between the EU taking the lead on antitrust against tech monopolies, and now privacy laws, it honestly makes them look bad: The EU is doing the job most people would've expected the US to take the lead on back in the day.

As GDPR will not end the world or pop the tech bubble or whatever, it's increasingly likely that the US will just go "yeah, we want all that too".

They can already actually. It was ruled legal to pass on the expenses durectly/discount cash transactions. However they usually don't do so for several reasons. I have only seen a few gas stations do so and they are low margin businesses.

One is logistical and consumer expectations of maintaining two price lists Another is that credit cards get them more sales and spare them from accidental structuring horror stories. A third reason is security - credit cards leave less cash in the register for a robber to steal and harder to steal from the tills.

Yeah - the best Stratix 10 can do 9.2 TFLOPs. A GTX 1080 Ti can do 11.3 TFLOPs. Now I can't find any price info on those Stratixes, but given how expensive these FPGAs generally get, I highly doubt it will be anywhere near the $700 for a 1080 (and that's for the entire card!).

I am not saying these things don't have applications, but the "usual" computational workloads are not one of them.
Where is "here"? I agree with your parent, in places that support Apple Pay/Android Pay/PayWave/contactless payments (e.g. Singapore, the UK, and surely more that I don't know), cashless is easily more convenient.

In places that don't have contactless payments, cashless may be less convenient but contactless is probably on its way there so your argument seems like a bit of a straw man. At any rate, I'm sure it can be agreed that contactless cashless payments are more convenient that cash ones.

I think it is naive at best. To me, it's like the EU is a spoiled child who wants everything for free without paying for it. Most of the web is payed for by targeted advertising and getting rid of that would make the web suck as their would be way less money to actually pay for content. Also, non-targeted ads suck as they usually end up being like Viagra ads since they pay the most.

Given that Apple - as a private company - is the owner of iOS, no one can blame them for what they wish to include/exclude from their ecosystem. A mistake many people make these days is they think just because some services are so prevalent and worldwide, they ought to be under control of the law and government. The same thing happens when people complain about Google/Amazon/Facebook for their policies. They're private companies! If you don't like them, fine, quit using their services, simple as that.

The day we give a person the right to sue a private company over their policies, we will essentially kill the free market.
I feel like systemctl and journalctl are the same way. They are terrible commands with awful usability.

What makes it "invalid"? If you can identify a person by their IP, then the IP becomes a part of their personal data. For most websites it's irrelevant, because people just visit and leave. But if someone signs in with their real name, you just need to update the ToS saying that apart from their other data you also store their IP. How complicated is that?

This brings up a interesting point: cookies are not just for user/session identification. Yes that's how the majority of the apps work but instead, it's totally possible to use cookies to customize a site's experience, feature by feature. A cookie for the theme, a cookie for the font prefs, etc. Yet most sites still insist on logging the user in to customize the experience, and rely on some central storage to determime user preferences.

You need to be more specific about what you want to build.

A true LIDAR system infers the round trip time of photons, either directly (time-of-flight) or based on some proxy like phase or frequency shift (AMCW/FMCW) LIDAR.

Lots of people include triangulation systems, which I disagree with. For example the RPLidar A2 is just a nicely packaged version of Kurt Konolige (et al)'s RevoLDS [1]. It projects a laser spot and takes a picture of it. Add in some known geometry, and you can use triangulation to measure distances. It's easy to build, you can do it with any old camera and a laser pointer. It's incredible how overpriced the A2 is, given that the Revo was published as $30 system.

A true LIDAR is much more difficult to build. If you go time-of-flight then you need a good laser and excellent timing electronics. If you go phase-shift then you need beam mixing/separation optics, beam modulation and a phase detector. Neither of these are easy for the average hobbyist. If you're interested, buy a laser tape measure from Leica and have a look inside to see how it works.

I belive the LIDAR-Lite is a proper LIDAR system - it ranges up to 40m which is a good hint that it's probably a true time of flight system. The Scanse Sweep is a LIDAR-Lite turned into a 2D scanner, like the sibling post. A good indicator is price. Real LIDAR systems are expensive - starting at £1k typically for something like a Hokuyo. They also tend to be much better built than the hobbyist stuff.

In principle all you need is a pulsed laser, a big collecting lense, a fast rise-time photodiode and a good (picosecond accurate) timing circuit.
