To be honest, that's a pretty meagre finding. I'm not worried about democracy, given that list ... Note also that the article says:

The technology is free of charge to candidates,
campaigns and related political institutions

The related article [1] even states

Microsoft AccountGuard is offered free of
charge. Organizations must be using
Office 365 to register.

One might wonder if there might be a marketing angle to all this ...

The problem with reading on digital screen is maybe a generation one.

Being a teenager i am very grateful that we have so many books on an electronic device. I read on a smartphones because 2 things:

Spaced repetition. I can read anywhere, anytime. At school, at home, in the car etc.

TTS Audiobooks on offline epub with speed changer. It took me a while but because of the technology improvement of TTS I don't see a difference. I can listen to the next pages where I last read on the way to the gym or school. Or I can listen to the introduction and then read when I have time where I bookmarked it.

The modern problem with understanding is the need of recall and effort. There is a great video:https://youtu.be/V-UvSKe8jW4

Edit 1: I started taking productivity more serious after 6 months detox of my smartphone. (during my school time and during exams, I was successful because I broke it and my parents never give me gifts or have good income)

Edit 2: off time is the best app. It basically doesn't allow to access only some apps that you choose for a period of time
I’m kind of in your camp. Back when I had a lot of time, I used to read a lot. But it’s such a low bandwidth communication, and books seem to have so much useless filler material. I tried e-books but failed. If I listen to them while I’m doing something else like commuting, I don’t pay attention (since I’m trying to not get killed on I-680), and if I listen while I’m not doing anything else, I fall asleep. Still waiting for someone to invent that The Matrix style “download into my brain” technology.
Because this is about Windows/MacOS downloads.
I think this view ignores differences in systems that do actively shape the way we communicate and how communities grow. I don't think that social media fits your description, just that sites like Twitter do.

Examples of less-toxic social media:

- Messaging: SMS, Email, GroupMe, Messenger, Skype, Snapchat

- Micro Communities: Discord

- Small purpose-driven communities, small subreddits, Discord

- Collaborative: DeviantArt, GitHub

- Long form discussion: Blog circles, Blogger, Tumblr sometimes

- Non-discussion: Pinterest, Flickr, Instagram, StumbleUpon
Solid facts....I went through every page and yeah...smh, definite pattern and type.
A long time ago, James Fallows of The Atlantic made the decision to turn off comments on his blog: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/09/lets-ta...
>Wolf resolved to allot a set period every day to reread a novel she had loved as a young woman, Hermann Hesse’s Magister Ludi. It was exactly the sort of demanding text she’d once reveled in. But now she discovered to her dismay that she could not bear it. “I hated the book,” she writes. “I hated the whole so-called experiment.” She had to force herself to wrangle the novel’s “unnecessarily difficult words and sentences whose snakelike constructions obfuscated, rather than illuminated, meaning for me.”

"Demanding text"? "unnecessarily difficult words and sentences"? "snakelike constructions"?

Who described the book as such, Beavis and Butthead? Herman Hesse is at the young adult fiction level of difficulty (and in Europe has been traditionally read by adolescents).

They don't support many of the standards.
this is covered in the article. Lack of exercise is surely contributing to obesity, but not as much as bad eating habits. A good run could burn off 500 kcal but a relatively small amount of sugar/carbs will negate a lot of that. There's an argument for increasing basal metabolic rate through exercise but countering a bad diet with a high BMR is making things harder for yourself needlessly.
>Simply integrating with 365 isn’t enough to justify its use for anyone who knows any better.

But compliance may be. For example, Slack charges a lot of money and requires a lot of users for actual HIPAA compliance (as in signing a BAA, everything else is marketing fluff). Teams, from what I can tell, comes with a BAA out of the box.
> It explicitly says I'm not allowed to tell you that the auto upgrade doesn't work for me and there's no details on how to do it manually.

Uh… what? All it says is that elm-upgrade exists but is an alpha, and issues should be reported to the elm-upgrade repository.

Adora, applaude YC's efforts to do the right thing! Admitted applicants, however, are getting a diluted experience; thus the solution takes away fairness from the admitted applicants. It's an impossible situation and all the time/energy YC is spending to fix it is incredible!
Some suggestions:

1. Give the originally accepted applicants access to a separate pool of 100 $10k grants - so they have the same odds of accessing the grants.
2. If 1 isn't possible, try to think of other perks that the accepted pool gets access to (in addition to what was already offered to make up for the larger pool of people with access to the grants)
3. In tandem with 1 or 2, put some meritocratic constraints around all participants. In order to stay in start-up school, partcipants must read x book, conduct x experiments, etc. This way those who will really put effort into the program and be a part of the community will get to participate. After all, as Duckworth's book Grit outlines,and some research at Google, effort coupled with curiosity is an important predictor of success.
Sounds like a treeroots movement, to me.

>Unfortunately, they decided to commit murders on foreign soil, invade other countries and other nasty things that made this relationship a lot less attractive than it could have been.

That describes US policy over the last 20 years. The lack of self-awareness is astounding.
It depends on the books and your rate of reading. I spend about $100/month on books which is often only 2 or 3. I can't always justify spending more. I would agree with you in the case of fiction, as the books are cheaper and better represented at libraries. But non-fiction is expensive, and I read a lot of technical and niche nonfiction.
I don't think HoloLens is the one that plays nice with everything, just that they seem to be targeting the level i'm looking for. "A virtual screen you strap on your face".

MagicLeap is "An OS for VR/AR stuff that you make apps for", and that's not what I'm personally looking for regardless of how many other OSs it will integrate with.

My "perfect" AR system is one where I can run Slack, Chrome, my code editor, a few terminal windows, and more, all unchanged. And MagicLeap looks like it will never be that. HoloLens will, even if only on windows.

Now I might be wrong, and MagicLeap might knock it out of the park and become a new "category" of device like phone apps did, but I still can't use a phone OS to do real work outside of a few choice situations, and I REALLY want a VR/AR device that lets me do real work.

I wish them the best, and while I get annoyed at every article that talks about it handwaving away the tech and calling it "magic", I hope they do well, because more competition is always a good thing, but from what I've seen they aren't making a device for me.

You don't need either to use Elm.

The only way Elm uses node is for `elm repl`, since that needs a way to evaluate the compiled JS on the command line.

The only way Elm uses npm is for `npm install --global elm` - but that's just as a convenient way to get a cross-platform installer. All it does is download the `elm` executable and put it on your PATH!

Sounds an awful lot like a Ponzi scheme to me.

From Wikipedia:

> A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud in which a purported businessman lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors using funds obtained from newer investors. Investors may be led to believe that the profits are coming from product sales, or other means, and remain unaware that other investors are the source of apparent profits. A Ponzi scheme is able to maintain the illusion of a sustainable business as long as most of the investors do not demand full repayment and are willing to believe in the non-existent assets that they are purported to own, and there continues to be new investors willing to contribute new funds.

As WebAuthn has been evolving we have been able to see four vendors try to users to use keys for authentication. Google and Mozilla went ahead and used the existing USB FIDO keys which was relatively easy to support, and shipped solutions first. Then Microsoft integrated their existing Hello authentication system which took more time but is probably more user friendly (and is not available on all Windows systems). Finally Apple is dragging their feet, but are spending more time making things work across all their devices using the biometric systems that users already know.

Certificate based authentication never worked in the browser because it was too complicated for most users to understand. This time around, if WebAuthn can be used by a majority of users we may actually see some progress. On the other hand, if the browser implementations still feel too complicated then users will try to avoid it and we will be back at square one.
Fake news only carries weight because people have been indoctrinated into blindly accepting appeals from authority and failing to engage in the most basic kinds of critical thinking.
If you say something like "This house needs a better security system, or your house will be robbed" and then someone in your own family robs the house, that is not prophecy.

It's one thing to see the future. It's totally different when you recognize a threat or a weakness, then actively exploit that very weakness for your own gain, or at least look the other way.

When Romney was so prophetic in his analysis, did he factor that his own party would be actively working with them to undermine American Influence over the world? Did he consider that, now that they are such a threat to America, that he himself would prioritize his political party over country?
Integrations serve as a moat. Anything that sends notifications to your chat platform, anything that adds slash-commands which become part of people's daily workflow, all of those become requirements which need to be replicated in a migration. For companies with non-trivial numbers of integrations which do non-trivial things for their users, it becomes more and more expensive to contemplate a replacement. For products, in particular, with such wide-ranging use within a single enterprise, replacement requirements will be defined by committee, and will be so long as to de-facto prevent migration.

And besides, the field of competitors is getting smaller, not bigger. See: Atlassian throwing in the towel on HipChat and Stride.
To the extent that's true it kind of works against your argument, doesn't it? I doubt that PC sales look better in India because Indians all have top-of-the-line Alienware rigs.
There's this short paper called "How Complex Systems Fail" [1] and one of the points is that "Complex systems run in degraded mode." Basically it means that everything is always partially on-fire at any give time.

But keeping a "everything's OK" flag flying is a big part of a marketing image. I hate this too, but I get why they do it. A status page that shows things are constantly 1-10% broken doesn't inspire confidence.

For example the AWS "all green" event you mention, misleading public-facing information is the bread and butter of the seemingly never-ending line of people that want to browbeat me about switching to $cloud_service_x. I'm not saying AWS isn't great, nor making a point specifically about AWS, but how do you convince people that they're a better cost:value ratio than having a good ops team that keeps our internal-facing services redundant across the basements of the three buildings closest to me? By pretending like the fires don't happen and hiding the ops cost behind ridiculous hourly hardware rates.

Unless the goal of cheating the benchmark was to target user's who overclock their phones (honestly, who does this?, like %0.0001?), then I would still call it dishonest.

Shouldn't benchmarks reflect what your delivering to consumers?

Honest related question. Do car manufacturers do this with their car's speed tests? I know you can squeeze another 50+ HP out of a VW Golf for example with a chip and a higher octane fuel, but AFAICT the specs you see on their site and at the dealer don't show this extra HP. (I realize VW is a bad example of a company that doesn't cheat their books!).
I will chime in here just to add my voice to everyone else. There is hope if you have chronic anxiety. I’ve had it as far as I can remember, even memories being in my crib and crying because I didn’t know where my parents were.

Meditation, medication, eating healthy, exercise, be aware of yourself and when you are pushing yourself beyond the breaking point. Everything will be ok. I avoid all illicit drugs, but alcohol is an anxiolytic and it’s partly why I like it.

One time I was on the subway, surrounded by people of all ages just relaxing and being bored, and I was trapped in a life or death struggle for survival as one of the worst panic attacks of my life attacked me. Then, when I thought I couldn’t make it, I realized how silly I was being and how absurd the whole situation was, and it gradually went away.

I still get panic attacks sometimes, but they get easier to manage.

The dividing line between what's a language and what's the IDE is fairly arbitrary

How do you figure? The language defines the runtime semantics in a way no IDE or refactoring tool does. It's a very bright line, unless you're conflating the distribution package of the language with the language itself.

I agree with you. BUT, even from a pure software hosted on github point of view, he didn't respond appropriately - The person who opened the issue had a legitimate concern - WHY.

The maintainer not only skipped addressing the core issue, which was that you need an auth-wall to download the setup files, he also closed the issue with a very dishonest answer without addressing the WHY. He even said the docs don't need to be changed. WHAT? It's gray area, but to me personally, it's an unethical move to not mention such a drastic change in the docs. Unless, they hoped that this would pass off either unnoticed as acceptable. But in this case, it didn't and the community held them accountable.

If you notice, most of the comments aren't personally attacking him, but rather suggesting alternatives or either just re-iterating the core issue once again.

But then, what I DO agree with you is the issue page slowly turning into a reddit thread, which I fear would lead to personal attacks, etc.

But, do you know what would have stopped all this? Just a simple apology/honest discussion about this change and perhaps, actually talking about a solution. That's all.
I agree with this fellow human.

1. As others have covered, you need a market. Find something that interests you, or you won't stick with it. For me, I manage an events guide for local bands and pubs to compile their free-to-the-public gig listings. It's taken various forms over the last 15 years or so, from Mambo to Joomla to Wordpress to a Facebook page, and I'm finally getting around to rewriting it as a standalone product using Django, and it's only as part of this iteration that I'm monetising it is starting to look like a potential option.

2. You may also need an audience. You need people to use your product, and that might mean you need some kind of free tier to lure them in. In my case, an events guide which doesn't list all the events people want to see is useless to my audience, and if the audience don't use it it's useless to my potential clients. That means I have to provide the basic service for free - any monetised features are worthless without it.

3. For any skills you're lacking, learn them. If you outsource your front end work, you've got to pay somebody every time you want to change it and you can't reuse it anywhere. Once you know what you want to do, learn how to do it by actually doing it.

You're absolutely right that any money earned from your own pet project will be far more satisfying than your day job, but that's because it's that much harder to earn. If you start down the road with the specific intention of earning, that road will be paved with frustration. Get an idea, develop it into a prototype, get some feedback, and then you can start looking at outsourcing some of the more polished parts that are still outside your capabilities.
