The windows defender service only gives full control to TrustedInstaller (e.g. for Windows update) and WinDefend. However, SYSTEM can impersonate TrustedInstaller. Maybe this will change in the future but as of now it doesn't block malware unless the author didn't know what they were doing.

IMHO, it's wrong to say that TrustedInstaller and WinDefend have "higher privileges" to SYSTEM as that is only true for specific files/executables and in most of those cases SYSTEM can take direct control even without impersonating them.
I really enjoy words like that. If I haven't seen it before, or it's been a while since I've seen it used, I need to take a bit of extra time to read and decode it.

It also reminds me of words like 'irreparable', rolls off the tongue quickly.

Now, when I hear someone use the word 'extant', especially during spoken language, I immediately think it's pretentious.

BTC is a 'much better coin' than alt coins. Its currently used worldwide. No other coin is used worldwide.

Its not just scarce, but its also highly demanded. Consider that people don't care about other coins, AND this is scarce. Its very difficult to become a rockstar, but once you do, your signature is very valuable.

BTC has broken into rockstar status. It has already happened. Alt coins have not.

I am also the type of users who dismiss any and every ads I see (after ad blocking), such as the infuriating Instagram Ads. I always dismiss & report them.

I figured at some point Facebook would see that I don't want to see them, and cease wasting advertisers money on me, but I suppose Facebook doesn't really care who it shows its ads to, as long as the advertisers already paid. I don't understand why advertisers keep paying, though.

I've read in several places that Debussy owed Satie more than he acknowledged in assisting him on his path to radicalization. Satie himself always felt inferior to Ravel and Debussy as he lacked a formal musical education (which may itself have been a major contributing fact to his uniqueness)

No one said anything about illegal. A ban on smoking in restaurants is not the same thing as making smoking illegal. You can still walk into any gas station and buy cigarettes, you can smoke them in your house and your car and on the sidewalk and in public parks and even right in front of a police officer.

My university banned smoking on campus years back, and no one said "aww man smoking is so cool now that I can't do it on campus". It's just so inconvenient to smoke now that fewer people bother to do so. It's not cool to have to put on your coat and walk three blocks to go have a smoke every hour.

original OP here.

It's quite significant actually, if you visualize it correctly.

This article doesn't say there are 33,000 businesses making $1M a year (or you're right that's pretty small).

It says there are 33,000 businesses making a $1m a year that have only 1 full time employee. That's big.

Is it a commentary on the gig economy making 33,000 millionaires out of traditional business sectors? I'm not saying that's true, but something is shifting and it's big.
Further, how are they defining "abandoned"?
More interesting question: Why would bleepingcomputer.com be upvoted more than cloudblogs.microsoft.com?

I have to say that the latter says to me: "Go to sleep," but the first says "Hey this is interesting". Plus, the article in the first has pictures. The headline is punchier too:

* "Windows Defender Antivirus can now run in a sandbox" (cloudblogs.microsoft.com)
I use Twitter a lot (90k Tweets, 2.1k followers, my account is 8 years old), the best thing about the like is being able to end a conversation without saying anything. Liking a reply to is a great way to say "I've acknowledged your tweet with a positive connotation". I think Twitter forgets that the vast majority of content on the site isn't heated political debates but instead small communities of people who treat the website as a microblog.

It's very popular in Europe, RedHat is very popular in the US.

I think the IBM acquisition is a fantastic opportunity for SUSE to start their engines here in the US. They have a fantastic value proposition: start with openSUSE Leap for free, then upgrade to a paid SUSE contract (can be done on place). This should appeal to CentOS and Fedora users who consider using RHEL, but don't because it's too hard to switch. They can also appeal to people who don't need the IBM integration but feel like they're not getting as much attention as before (priorities will likely change at RedHat). They can also appeal to developers with their rolling Tumbleweed release (which can also convert to openSUSE Leap/SUSE).

If SUSE had publicly traded stocks, I'd consider buying in right now as they have a really good opportunity over the next few years to steal customers from RedHat/IBM. They're big Linux contributors (Greg Kroah-Hartman used to work on the project), so they are _very_ attractive.
Yeah. Plus once you get over 700 followers things kinda tip and it's MUCH easier to get to 1000 followers than from 400 to 700. Each follower is a potential retweeter. It's the nature of the platform.
>only problem is hardly anyone knows how to use it.

That's a massive, show-stopping problem.
aww. That's a great idea :)
It seems they are not trying to be the "solution" to shit hitting the fan, they are just trying to be personally prepared for if/when it does.
Amazon, Microsoft, Google. Now that RedHat has to compete against all three, perhaps it felt that now was the time to cash out.
I’m sure there are issues. In China, there is no real credit history, so it is undeveloped in that regards (well, they are trying to replace that with social credit history, but I’m a bad communist).
Have you tried a pair programming? I realized that this practice much more effective than code review. Pair programming encourages learning inside a team, interactions and code quality. It also reduces time to market.
Most of the difficulty in getting these to run circles around the uplay stuff, for example it won't even launch unless you have the Microsoft fonts installed, and then there's an outdated libgnutls library in the steam runtime that you need to workaround.

But once you do that the games actually run, I've gotten Odyssey and Unity to run and they run surprisingly well. If Valve can convince Ubisoft to at least make the launchers not be too intrusive and can solve that last 10% of the config issue then it'd be viable.

If you are False Start compatible (allow modern ECDHE, etcetera and speak HTTP/2, don't use crappy middleboxes from Cisco, Palo Alto) you get 1RTT with TLS 1.2. If you do TLS 1.3 you always get 1RTT.

You can't avoid the one round trip on first connections, you pay that in QUIC too.
If European news sites don't want links then we don't link to them.

>Edit: They did change the image. In the last image, they showed a metal surface which wrapped two times and had not the properties of a mobius strip.

This is still a single-sided surface though (with the 2 twists).

Wikipedia: "the Möbius strip can also be formed by twisting the strip an odd number of times greater than one"

Not sure about needing to be "odd", I think 2 qualifies as well, so perhaps odd or even AND prime does it...

Prepping is an individual solution to the threat of societal collapse. In the grander scheme of things, it can be seen as an anti-solution. It gives some people the idea that they've got an escape hatch. If you think you can run away, you'll be less inclined to fight for a solution that avoids collapse.

Luckily, the article differentiates here and doesn't feature hardcore fatalists only. And in my view, just thinking about what living outside modern society encompasses will actually help people understand what they got. And why they should fight for it.

Personally, I need insulin. So I'm committed anyway. I can't just go hide in a bush for years on-end.
I try to never block correct code. I can usually find a few things that should definitely be changed (needs more comments, delete unreachable code, remove unnecessary/unhelpful extra variables, etc), so everything else is suggestion.

Usually the submitter takes my advice, but sometimes I am educated in the process (I usually ask for better comments in this case).
>Are there still some places left on Internet for high-quality discussions?

Web forums. There are good ones. They are independent of one another. Most forums I visit are centered around some subject, so people are bonded enough to be reasonably civil even if they disagree. Most aren't big enough to require much moderation. The best one have zero rules and very little trolling, but those are usually completely devoid of political stuff, since no one wants to spoil the good thing.

I think web forums are the best discussion medium developed so far. They support long-format content. They support hypermedia. They allow for offline conversations that don't get "dated" in 2 hours. They don't put thread authors on pedestal, unlike blogs.

I've heard there are mail/news groups out there too. Haven't used one aside from newsgroup for D Programming Language, though.
I've used wine forever to play games with, it's actually really good these days.

The difference between the past and now is that it lets you use your current native steam client and still run games through wine, in the past you had to run a separate steam client in each wineprefix and you'd end up with steam installed for each game.

The addition of DXVK makes directx10/11 games really speedy, runs great! World of Warcraft runs better in DXVK in its dx11 mode than what it did with OpenGL when they still offered that.

The "game-breaking" thing is usually DRM like denuvo though.

The radio said the weather was clear and calm at the site of the crash. Rescue operations are already picking body parts and aircraft debris from the water.

Make everybody a contractor! Let employers vote with their wallet. You slack off, you don't get renewed. I've been a contractor for more than 25 years, plenty of happy customers, plenty of renewals. Legally, my customers don't need to pay me if they can argue I did not deliver what was asked.

So what exactly is the QUIC-the-HTTP-binding?

Everything on the web about QUIC is about UDP. It doesn't talk about HTTP/3 and /2 difference. /2 is already complex enough as it is.
This still seems a bit of a bulky unit for what it does; a more boxy shape would fit the boards & batteries better than this. I wonder if the round design is needed for the acoustics or if it's just an aesthetic choice made to match smoke detectors.

Well, for some measures of "not grown old". It's not like the Top-10 has much Debussy, or that the number of well-off patrons of concert halls that play the likes of Debussy are the same in number as in Debussy's times...

I use FreeCAD. It is sometimes annoying, but much better than any alternative I've tried.

For more programmatic CAD, OpenSCAD is also good.
Yeah. I just turned this on last week to try it out. I downloaded a game listed as "gold", Skyrim, and it installed and played just like any other Steam game.
I've been using it on my Ubuntu box and its as easy as double clicking any game like you do for any native-Linux game in Steam.

Games run smoothly, no frame rate issues, no Wine to setup manually, no Wine configuration files to play with. It just works.
You may be able to 'soft prep' by just laying out and running through a basic plan. Where you would go if shit hit the fan, who you would contact, how you would contact them with ISPs/cell towers out, where you would get clean water, how you would get food, etc.

That way you're more prepared than 95% of people if something catastrophic were to go down, but you've only spent a weekend's worth of time and $20 on a pack of walkie-talkies. There seem to be diminishing returns where you're giving up current quality of life/free time for increasingly smaller 'preparedness' value.
Gab is under attack
Yep.

the ACA ("obamacare") made it so that pretty much everything is "maxed-out" - includes pre-existing conditions, etc.

This is buying on the 'open market' - the majority of people have insurance provided by their employer, and often pay nothing or a smaller % of the normal monthly cost. And larger employers seem to get somewhat discounted rates than an individual buying on the open market. Employer-provided health insurance has been one of the biggest problems with health care in the US for decades (in my opinion). Your health is now inextricably tied to your fortune to get a job, to have an employer who's savvy enough to stay in business (and grow), and you remain healthy enough to keep working at said employer. Leave a job for a 'better' one? You might not have insurance at the new place for months, and you either have no insurance, or have to pay for the 'full price' yourself for that time gap (which can end up being easily more than $2k/month for a family policy). US-based HN folks making figures probably don't think of this as much more than an inconvenience, but it's a huge drag on labor mobility.

'Market' is an odd word - in the county I live in, there's usually only one insurance company that sells policies (I think this year and next there's 2, but we've had years where it's just 1).

But hey... you know, some AT&T people got a whole $1000 bonus for 15 years of service last December because of the big awesome 'jobs act' and tax cut (right before they were laid off). So hey, we're 'winning' so much in the US right now. #maga

EDIT: I just looked at plan estimates for next year. In my state, they've reduced some pricing (the primary way they did that was to cut costs by stoping coverage in a populous area). However, the 'bare bones' policy is a mere $920/month, with a $16000 deductible, meaning a big accident needing a lot of surgery/etc could put someone out of pocket for ... $27k that year. The plan prices are income-based - the less income you earn, the lower the price may be, due to gov subsidies. That fades out as you become a high-earner. The numbers above are for a couple earning the princely sum of $70k USD.
No, it has two sides. Pick a side and trace it with your finger - you'll never get to the other side.

I wrote a related post on discipline and my general workout routine like 3 months ago on HN. In principle its the same thing as Jocko's podcast, but I think its also important to both have a daily physical and mental routine. Mental things could be journalling /meditating / blogging etc, just pick one and roll with it

Homegym is pretty convenient, what's nice is I can knock out an entire workout in 40 minutes (from warmup to cleanup, and my morning breakfast - workout shake) while watching 20 minutes of youtube / TV / anime etc at the same time. This is how I psychologically reward myself when I workout.

I wake up and go straight to 5-10 minute warmup w/ 3 lightsets and a light jog. I usually workout wearing nothing but my boxers then shower after. But I usually wear shoes and gloves to make it official though, b/c I need the extra gripping. I mentally associate an adrenaline rush when wearing certain gear, so this normalizes progress made.

Its pretty convenient not having to dress up when I workout. Also its convenient not having to worry about working out at night, b/c I usually do it pretty late. You have to do it at least 1 hour before you sleep. Today I did pullups / biceps / upperback.
I'm with you on IMAP and SMTP, as they serve a specific purpose. One thing I don't understand, is why anyone is holding on to FTP at this stage over HTTP. Outside of legacy enterprise "file transfer" appliances, which I deal with all day and can appreciate the inertia around, I just don't understand what the benefit is over HTTP.
Well, at least real-er and more authentic than listening to it from Spotify while web surfing and skipping tracks every few minutes.

The emphasis wasn't on "physical recordings", but on "shutting down the Internet and giving yourself wholly to his world". One could even achieve that with a YouTube video recording -- just less easily and with distraction closer at hand.
PC gaming is a struggle for me as of now, I have an older rig which I would love to update but simply cant justify the cost. It is pretty frustrating when my friends xbox can run 4k games but the only GPU that is comparable is north of 500$.

In Topology, you're allowed to move surfaces around much more freely than you can in the real world, so don't use your intuition from there, which says that coffee cups are too hard to move around. The point is that you can move the surface around in ways that in topology are considered to be no change to the surface, and get from one shape to another.

If you do want to use your physical intuition, a play-dough coffee cup can be squished into a donut without ever poking a new hole through the playdough and without ever closing one up. That's probably not great mathematical intuition since it still keeps some constraints that topology doesn't, but if you're not planning on studying topology, it's harmless enough.
