There's nothing wrong with using words. The real key is to understand carefully the context in which the words were used.

The "misleading" accusation is just a projection people like you are imagining after cherry picking words without paying attention to the context.

The words you are missing are things like: "will be," "in the future," "it is possible," "assuming regulatory approval," etc.
Oh, I can get behind that, played paperclips and it was pretty fun. For some reason the addition of [flash-era like] graphics on these mobile games turns me off completely.
You must not have checked SSD prices since last fall or earlier.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0786QNS9B

500GB SSD for £49.98. M.2 SATA versions are £5-10 more.
Why only pick one?
Sure, plastics are wonderful materials. The problem is that they are too good for their price. And that's the folly: plastics are simply too cheap.

Because of that, we treat plastic things as disposable, which is how most of plastic waste is produced.

There is a very simple way to address plastic pollution: make plastic expensive again. Even a minor measure like a 10-cent tax on a bag is disproportionately effective.

To put it in context, if you forgot how much we are willing to pay for a bag, stop by a bag store.

An expensive application of plastic (medical, etc) won't be affected much, if at all, by a plastic tax.

So I still don't know why we're not doing it big time. Oh wait, I do know, it's greed[1]. As usual, the profits from such misuse if plastics will be privatized, and the losses socialized (we'll all pay for cleanups with tax money and/or suffer from pollution).

>In 200X a lot of companies were able to maintain their own infrastructure, just like Facebook and Amazon did at the time.

I worked at a decently large tech-ish company at that time. It took 3 months to provision a handful of dev servers in the data center. After filling out forms in triplicate. We asked for extras since we had almost zero ability to manage them (reboot, etc.) or get them re-built if something broke. No backups of any kind as far as I knew. We once had one break at night and apparently someone had to psychically drive there at 3am to reboot the thing after we filed a ticket. Used some sort of in-house distribution of linux that had it's own quirks.

I'll take the cloud any day of the week.
>Provide proof that three million Uigher Muslims have been put into concentration camps because of their ethnicity as an official policy of the CCP. Provide proof that they are being tortured and forced into hard labour as an official policy of the CCP.

This is completely insane. The equivalent argument is that there is no systemic racial injustice in the United States because the constitution officially requires equal treatment under the law.

>Without adequate proof, these allegations are no different and no better than a politically motivated conspiracy theory.

>It's enough evidence for the world to demand answers but it's not enough evidence for the wholesale indictment that's going on right now.

It's either an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory which of course requires no response, or enough evidence for the world to demand answers. It can't be both.

>a politically motivated conspiracy theory

For that to be true, the Trump administration, The government of Turkey, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and dozens of mainstream media outlets from dozens of countries would need to be working together.

Also are you familiar with the term Gish gallop, because that's what you're doing with this thread.

No, yeah.

> There's a pernicious narrative the United States that christianity has a monopoly on positive, moral behavior /.../ it doesn't take long to find examples of christianity creating atrocious behavior

Sure. These are not the commenter's claims, though, so it's odd that they're what you're litigating.

"We did a charitable thing as an expression of / motivated by our faith" is orthogonal to whether some portion of US Christians are either parochial in their moral philosophy or even not particularly good people.

Claiming otherwise doesn't make it look like the they're the one with a hobby horse or over-evangelical approach.
> But then who'd gobble up those anxiety or depression or ADHD or sleeping^` pills?

Could you expand on the ADHD bit? That sounds interesting as its not something I've heard a lot about.
The cheapest option, in the end, is often the most expensive.
I'm not sure if it will be Hyper-V? Currently to use Hyper-V you have to have a non-home license for Windows, though maybe they will change that for this.

I hope you don't have to have a non-home license for Windows to run WSL 2, that would be really annoying.
Who do you expect the NSA to attack? The French? (I know they probably do that too)

Please don't tell me this is true... The US government can't be this fucked.
CMD hasn't really been touched, though the console subsystem has, and now terminal-esq functionality debuts.
Korean here who has been watching webtoons since the very beginning.

Unlike some recent hits made by printed manhwa artists, webtoons were initially an amateur thing. Where as mangas always seemed to have a certain level of professionality in terms of detail and storytelling.

That said, it is interesting how Koreans adapt to these technologies really fast and globalize their culture through a media platform.

It feels really weird when you spot someone reading a webtoon in public in the US because that was just native Koreans who lived in Korea 5 years ago.
And if synthesizing jet fuel turns out to be viable, I could easily see governments 10–20 years from now requiring airlines to use it, the way they are for automobiles.
Yes, driving wages to zero is obviously progressive taxation!

Until the US becomes a member of the EU... Then it would be OK to tax the US poor, because that would be progressive taxation (because the US poor are much richer than the EU poor, tax the "wealthy" US citizens to pay the poor EU citizens?)

This seems more emotional based than logic based. All the problems with Pokemon Go are problems caused by users and their choices. No one is saying we need to banned fire because it kills so many people.

Side note: ethics/morality is subjective and doesn't actually exist.
It's simply not needed. A majority of PCs have battery backup, and everyone uses journalling filesystems. The risk of large-scale data loss from a power failure is much smaller than the typical consumer cares about, and power loss protection capacitors make a noticeable difference in BOM.
Except most of the unique features of Edge are gone. Maybe not all, but plenty of users will notice a difference in Edge when the Chromium version rolls out.

Plus, word on the street is Microsoft's motivation to move to Chromium was totally different to that: it was a performance decision. Too many apps were using Electron, and the only way to improve their performance was to intregrate it into the OS.
Really interesting. I've been using Gatsby for web development, and the only part that feels really outdated in my tool stack is I'm still using cmd.exe. I suppose combining this and VS Code and the new version of React Native will make development easier!

One thing that's not clear from the video: will this replace powershell and cmd, or work as a UI to launch them? (maybe it's obvious to Terminal power users, sorry).
Exactly! Thanks for the link. We were discussing this in the context of the reduction of oil consumption world-wide eventually leading to higher cost of plastics overall and which areas could it have a large effect.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.. The fault tolerance of banks using FRB, is approximately 1% of loan capital per year. Any more than that, and they are driven into regulatory incompliance - which then has monetary significance.

Reserves don't actually play a roll in loss management, bad loans have to be written off against loss provisions and/or profits - liability/equity accounts. Basel 3 has put mandatory limits on how much loss provisions/capital has to be held, but it hasn't solved the fundamental problem with the interaction with the money supply.
Pretty sure Hollywood with all the films about a few thousand people escaping an uninhabitable earth only to settle on a desolate rock is not helping at all. I’m betting people watching that stuff imagine themselves on the escape ship, not as the billions who don’t make it.
Windows consoles have an obsolete architecture, it wouldn't make sense. Even this new app and subsystem components has to pull a lot of tricks to stay compatible with the old world.
I think the semantics of the language is also important.

A ternary operator in a C like language probably is frustrating because it's some magic that was just shoehorned into the language with no rhyme or reason behind it.

However, in a language like Perl 6, each magical operator has an intelligible semantic meaning behind it almost like a natural language. So when you mix and combine different operators, it starts to make sense to you. See this post for an example https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2017/12/11/all-the-stars-o...
Jevon's paradox only applies because governments subsidize fossil fuels by failing to correct the market failure of their externalities. If they were taxed appropriately to compensate for the damage they do then synthetic hydrocarbon fuels would probably be viable in the cases where batteries are unsuitable because of insufficient energy density (e.g. long-distance aviation).
I'm cautiously optimistic.

> Moving to a single .NET implementation raises important questions. What will the target framework be? Will NuGet package compatibility rules be the same? [...] How does writing code for a specific architecture work? [...] We are working through these issues now and will soon be sharing design docs for you to read and give feedback on.

This, however, is my biggest worry. Between runtimes, content files, analyzers, native references, asset visibility rules, etc., packaging has become kind of a mess. I'd love to see a move away from monolithic packages, but IDK if that's on the table. Fingers crossed.

No, it doesn't. In most other industries, you are simply considered incompetent if you don't possess the skills or aren't willing to learn the ways of the trade. Look at aviation for example: pilots and ATC talk in jargon, acronyms, and abbreviations like it's a completely different dialect of English, anyone who complains that they can't understand would be laughed at and told to keep learning, and that's the way it should be.

Yet the software industry seems to have developed an illness of perception, that encourages the continual lowest-common-denominator dumbing-down of code and an aversion to learning. From what I've seen "collaboration" as a justification for this, and from the types of people who are proponents of it, it appears to be related to the effort of managers to attempt to turn developers into disposable and easily replaceable drones; something which everyone actually writing code should be against. In the trades, there's no lack of teamwork either, but the prevailing notion is "the least skilled/experienced learns from the most" --- only in software does there seem to be a strong counter-trend to that. Perhaps we should not encourage the degradation of our craft.

Maybe that quote should be modified slightly too: "Programs must be written for suitably qualified people to read"
Its not clear what the ideological lines are though. With USSR, it was a very clear Capitalism v/s Communism ideological battle. Its not clear to me that the rivalry would escalate to the same levels as it did during the Cold War.

There is one thing that does give a lot of hope to me personally: the close economic relationship between the US and China has created a tight bond between the countries even if they are unwilling to admit it openly.

Its not inconceivable for world powers to co-exist in peace. There will be a lot more frontiers in the future that can be competed on without wanting to destroy one another.
Plastics often are doped with heavy metals like molybdenum to affect mechanical properties like wear resistance, or bromine for fire resistance. Neither of which you want in your lungs.
I once heard a story that the reason some people would build their own server is they don't trust those service provider on the internet. They feared that the data store there are quite easily breached.

Thanks to these guys, they just lower the unemployment rate a little more!
Contracts are a negotiation.

There's nothing wrong with one side or the other asking for a negotiation or renegotiation in good faith. Contracts are not immutable, they get amended all the time for all sorts of reasons.

Choosing to withhold your labor until a renegotiation happens is an extreme tactic that is likely to generate bad faith from the other party long term, but it's always legal and always moral because our society considers slavery unacceptable.

Contracts are an important part of working conditions, as are workers perceptions of self-worth. If your contractual working conditions are demeaning such that you're prepared to not get paid and potentially risk being terminated in order to protest the demeaning conditions, no reasonable person would attempt to force you to work.

It is to the companies benefit in these cases that knowledgeable employees attempt to solve the problem rather than simply leaving. It is much cheaper to amend contracts than train new workers. This is a classic case where amending relevant contracts benefits everyone.

Is that does that help you straighten this out?
> There isn't anything the Windows kernel can do that the Linux or a BSD kernel can't

There is, for laptop/desktop: almost all of those run a Windows kernel thus most money for laptop/desktop device driver support is going towards supporting the Windows kernel. Technically... it's a difficult discussion but it's irrelevant. Noone is running a bare kernel.
Epic really doesn't want my money at all I guess. Between the constant ads I receive for their launcher and fortnite. At least one of which isn't actually available for my operating system(not sure about fortnite), their lack of support for the operating system I use and their aggressive anti-competitive behaviour, I find them to be a distasteful company and don't feel like supporting them in any way.
Set up your phone such that when you don't answer a call from a number you don't recognise, it will go to voicemail.

Set up your voicemail answering message to contain only two things: the tones that signify "This Phone Number Not In Use" (see http://www.k3pgp.org/telezap.htm) and a terse voice message, such as "Leave a Message", which imparts no usable information to the caller.

Now when the call goes to voicemail, two things happen: First, any robocallers will hang up when the hear the 'Not in Use' tones. Second, any humans will hear the 'Leave a Message' and they now have two options which are to hang up, or to leave a message asking you to call back.

You merely have to scan the voicemail messages and call back only those ones you choose to answer. The other 80% or more have been discarded 'automatically' before you get to hear them.
This NYT article is paywalled but Symantec's blog post [0] (on which much of the NYT article is based) is not.

---

According to the blog post, "Buckeye", a group allegedly working on behalf of the Chinese state, also used an "exploit of a previously unknown Windows zero-day vulnerability. This zero day was reported by Symantec to Microsoft in September 2018 and patched in March 2019."

So Symantec reported a zero-day -- which was being actively exploited in the wild by a state-based actor -- to Microsoft and Microsoft STILL didn't release a patch for it until six months later?

it’s great that this forces more manga to move to the web. where’s my Netflix for manga Japan?

anecdotally, on a JAL flight between Tokyo and London (for which Russia taxes every passenger individually, story for another time), I saw a bunch of manga on the in-flight entertainment system, and people were actually using it to read. cooler still, seeing both the parents and their children reading different manga.

The term "VM" is greatly overloaded.

It's not running in a Hyper-V virtual machine, just like the Java virtual machine isn't a Hyper-V virtual machine.

It's more like how 16-bit Windows executables ran on 32-bit Windows - in a very thin "virtual machine" long before hypervisors were a thing.

I have to hand it to Microsoft. WSL 2, Windows Terminal, and Edge based on Chromium. Microsoft really is doing some fantastic work for their users.

Meanwhile, macOS will get new emojis in 10.15.
I was thinking about the "preview Windows key shortcuts" just yesterday! So glad to see it's getting made. I'm been a Windows power user since 3.1, and I just discovered this week that the programs on my task bar could be launched with Win+number. I also just started using Win+Tab over Alt+Tab because of the nice Expose feature. I wonder how many other nice to haves there are that simply aren't visible.
.Net has some caveats with GC: Server GC preallocates heap per CPU core so if you have 8+ server it could be a waste of RAM if app uses less than 1GiB. We are tinkering with microservices on .Net Core 2 in k8s and came up with using WS mode with clearing unused allocated memory on health check calls which is dirty but working trick.

On the Java side though there is a hack in JRE which checks if JVM runs inside a Docker container in order to not get out of memory limit by cgroup.
I agree that auto loans are an increasing risk these days. At least cars are much easier and legally more straightforward to repossess than houses, not to mention they cost a whole hell of a lot less.
I know, just like Romeo and Juliet. They both die. The end. What a waste of words.

Its important to point out that American entry into WW2 did not establish American hegemony, but only accelerated it. Roosevelt had been supplying Allied forces with Material for a long time before Japan bombed Pearl Harbor (from historical records, its pretty clear that the Japanese understood it was only a matter of time before the US entered the war and thus attacked pre-emptively).

The event that solidified US as the superpower was actually the Suez crisis, where the UK and French had to begrudgingly agree to American demands, making it clear who was the top dog.
I noticed DOSKey seems to be default in recent versions of command.com.
US pricing is silly. But, the US market for this stiff is also fairly tiny. Outside of a small number of mega hits it’s just not worth the company’s time to try and sell to the US market.

Some of this just comes down to cultural differences. Most US novels don’t get translated to Japanese.

Yet more evidence that you can't trust anyone with magic software that defeats device security without making the devices insecure.
Microsoft sell Windows partly on the promise of backwards compatibility. A Linux kernel would destroy any real backwards compatibility possibilities, with prejudice.

There are 1,000 privately developed and privately run Windows apps for every publicly available application, and those private applications are the backbone of businesses around the world. A Linux kernel would render a VERY large portion of those inoperable, even with WINE.

A Windows with a Linux kernel will never replace traditional Windows. Some Microsoft OS may live alongside traditional Windows, at some point however, and it is unlikely to be Linux at all.

There are lots of kernel architectures out there besides the ones that Linux and Windows use.
This is actually a known economic problem that has been repeated with grazing commons in england and fishing reefs, plastics have a significant cost externality[1] that isn't being identified in current pricings and needs to be added by governments (or whatever) to account for their "real cost".
