I drink about a couple of liters per day, sometimes less, depending on the mood. I think I have no caffeine sensitivity at all, since I have normal BP, no sleep problems, and am able to stop drinking all caffeinated beverages for a few weeks without any (obvious) problems (did it several times after getting tired of the taste).

All these personal anecdotes (when I stopped drinking coffee, my wife returned to me, and I won in Powerball!) sound very strange to me.

I dislike the forced telemetry stuff but, I hate the forced updates even more cos it wastes my limited data.

When developing Windows Phone, Microsoft aped Apple and tended to copy the stupid things from them - such as the locked store model, inability to share apps, developer registration fee...

Now for Windows, they are looking at Google. Ms prob copied the telemetry and forced update idea from Chrome.

Google is a cloudish company and has used open source extensively to get that big. Google tracks every thing, everyone and converts that to cash via ads.

This is what the current Microsoft CEO wants.
It's not just car companies but foreigners cannot own the majority of ANY company. I can understand why China did this because they don't want to end up like many of the developing countries where most of the economic engines of their country are owned by foreigners. You see this happening in the "banana republics" of the world. It also has the benefit of implicitly forcing technological transfer when it is coupled with high tariffs on imports. Foreign companies end up "partnering" with locals to avoid the tariffs but the joint company is ultimately Chinese majority owned. It's hard to argue that these policies have not benefited the Chinese or at least prevent some of the downsides of economic liberalization and "free" trade.

With all that in mind, however, other countries would be fools to allow this sort of economic asymmetry to continue. Especially at this point, when China is the second largest economy (and largest when adjusted by PPP), China doesn't need this kind of protection and is simply not playing fair. I don't know if tariffs are the best way of leveling the playing field but some sort of rebalancing and leveling of the playing field must happen because otherwise it is simply a rigged game.

There is even a very good argument that can be made that direct, unfettered foreign investment now would benefit China given its large consumer base with money to spend. Otherwise, the Chinese consumer is simply indirectly subsidizing Chinese corporations who made not have to compete as hard because of these protections.
78.9%.

Let’s just call it 80%

So, they’ve lost 10%.

There’s almost 5% unknown.

The only real competition is MacOS at 13%

They may look smaller because billions of people have smartphones.

Personally, I’d say Windows still rules the desktop.

That'd be very interesting if the Taiwanese government was in direct communication with Facebook over something like this. CPJ wasn't able to get a hold of Facebook, I wonder if anyone here has visibility into something like that? Given that the US government took a more "combative" approach (dragging executives in front of Congress) I'd be curious how more tame approaches like this were being received.
You are a heathen, yes? I want you to compare this excuse of a response - devoid of passion, identity or character to show people why being a heathen is wonderful - to my argument above in this thread. An argument made by a simple LOTR fanboy who has to deal with Cirth being inspired by writing systems related to paganism in only an auxilary way.

I made the case that it's the height of foolishness to cede an entire spirituality and the foolishness only increases the more severe the generalizations get.

You linked a book. Like a christian links a bible study guide when they can't formulate the words required to express their point.

Good to know personal responsibility is present in heathens at volume similar to the christians I grew up with. Do better. For the sake of your religion and Tolkien, and for the sake of the ink I got to celebrate him.

Random viking-ish armor sellers on imgur do a better job than pagans at large in defending their spirituality if this thread is anything to go by. I am not joking in the slightest either. https://i.imgur.com/AZD4njS.jpg

Weak. Very weak.
Spreadsheets aren’t without code, the code is just in cells.
Spreadsheets are not functional.
Spreadsheets are not a database for any sensible definition of database. If you losen the definition enough to include spreadsheets, then random scribbling of data into a .txt file is also a database “because the data is put into lines” like spreadsheets puts data/code/comments into cells.
This is the wrong argument here. With regards to brute force attacks changing password is only relevant if the attack time is comparable to the password turnover. If it takes one week to crack a simple password but you only change it every six month then you have ~1/24 chance to actually increase the attack time.
What happened was that the mainstream media learnt what 'incel' was.

Without some sources, I remain a bit skeptical that any old cocktail of chemicals will interact in a way to cause the whole spectrum of mental or mood disorders we are seeing. It is hard to refute with authority as this is just such a sweeping statement that encompasses most everything around us.

I believe there are some indications that it is not that accurate: firstly, depression and anxiety disorders as well as schizophrenia have probably been described in ancient times (of course with a very different wording) and in different regions of the world.

Second: if you look at this chart (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...), and squint a bit, you can see depression tends to be more frequent in rich, northern European countries like Ireland, Germany, Finland, Sweden than poor, southern countries like Greece or Cyprus. Public awareness is a probable confounding factor, but it could still be that the amount of daylight and outdoor activity is helping in the South, even though living conditions are objectively worse as are environmental standards.

It could also be related to social media use (correlation with this: https://www.internetworldstats.com/stats4.htm) but this is a very recent phenomenon, so I doubt it is the causal reason.

Is it possible to have the extra fee (.4%) only on some transactions or does it have to be applied to the entire account? For example in what we do we have very large transactions where we know the customer very well and we don't need this. But other transactions are typically small but more importantly they are of a different type where the risk of fraud is much higher and the protection is warranted. Just wondering other than getting setup for two different accounts (which may not even be possible) how this situation would be handled. I do understand the idea of wanting the .4% not applied selectively however it would be good if there was a way to specify the transaction class in some way to account for this situation.
Microsoft has fooled a lot of people who should know better, yes.
Of course the entire curve will move, but then inflation will just go up a similar amount. This means that everyone will effectively be making the same amount of money.

Because of this, I think minimum wage is unnecessary and just manages to distort the market and prices out some people out of any job whatsoever.
Just simulate the entire universe and pluck the brain structure of the person you're trying to bring back into reality.

You're missing the point though. These solutions entirely rely on future technology development being the omnipotence that gives you afterlife.

> A common PRC propagandic trope is that the ten thousand years of Chinese history doesn't lend the culture to democracy. That the culture is simply incompatible with the concept - the people need autocracy. Taiwan is a shining and obvious example otherwise.

Totally agreed. The sentiment appears on HN regularly and it's extremely annoying when there's such an obvious counterexample.

Accounts in Excel is a recipe for disaster
> MS has always been a really developer-friendly company

I beg to differ. Microsoft historically saw developers as customers they wanted to profit from - I remember how much Visual Studio and MSDN access used to cost back in the day, if you weren't a student. If it hadn't been for the competition from open source tools, I'm pretty sure they would have continued that way.

This was true even to the point of hurting themselves. The most egregious example I remember was not including any installer for Windows together with the paid Visual Studio - that was a separate package. I wonder how many millions of users got their DLLs and settings messed up because of this choice, and how much brand value Microsoft lost to Apple because of it...
What happens when the misinformation is coming from inside the government? A problem in, for example, the UK, where there is an internal conflict within the Cabinet over Brexit, and where ministers are willing to spout some things that are, frankly, bullshit.
No they have not. And yes, it would seem to be a good model to follow. But they are not interested in looking into it. I guess eventually they will be forced to look into a remote policy due to attrition, but sadly, they will probably be able to hold out for a few years more before doing so.
I got asked on a 2.5 hour flight recently why I wasn't reading or looking at my phone/laptop. I like just zoning out and thinking about things. It's almost meditative, and being on a plane without internet access gives me a good reason not to be staring a screen for a change.
This would need some kind of force feedback mechanism, I can't imagine tieing a knot without resistance of the rope.

I'm an experienced engineer who worked on a lot of different things in different industries. I have been doing a lot of product and people management recently. Looking for my next opportunity.
I didn't have to go cold turkey; I simply stopped drinking as much and my receptors managed.

The funny thing is, the craving for coffee when I'm at work is when I'm stressed out and want control over something. Well, coffee has a very neat little cause-effect system that would give me something to change reliably.

The problem is, I don't even particularly like the effects of that second or third cup of coffee; I just wanted the control to change my state of mind.

I'm not perfect and I still do reach for that 2nd or 3rd cup sometimes but by realizing I'm a better coworker with just the one first thing in the morning helps a lot.
I've done an interactive "do you know how many types of engineers there are?" for this age group that's worked really well. Timeframe: 5-15 minutes

"Can anyone name a type of engineer?" and for each shoutout, talk a little about what each does. The guessing keeps everyone's attention.

Types: software/computer, electrical, mechanical, chemical, environmental, civil, nuclear, aeronautical, etc.

Bonus: bring 2-3 props (your drones would be GREAT) that you can hold up for the relevant flavor.

For drones, I like to ask: "how do you think the drone moves forward?" [over power the rear two, underpower the front] Same Q for other directions.

"how do you think it rotates?"

"why don't all props spin in the same direction?"

Bring one of these to fly in the room: https://www.amazon.com/Cheerson-CX-10-Diameter-2-4GHz-Quadco...

Talk about how there's actually a computer on board.

If you have access to a TV, bring a short ~2min drone POV video to show.

Tell bad jokes ("Civil engineers are very nice to each other", etc.) Google online for some.

It's all about energy and making it interactive.
This reminds me of the day I disabled Youtube history, suggestions, etc: I sometimes listen in Youtube to old civil war-era songs from my country, Spain (my great uncle was a partisan who fought against the fascists). Once I left the autoplay engaged and returned to my Youtube feed filled with current neonazi/extreme-right/conspiracy recommendations.

Retracing the browser history, it went something like: historic recordings of civil war/partisan songs -> later recordings by popular musicians of the most vanilla/famous ones -> current renditions of the old songs by extremist groups -> crazy political propaganda from those extremist groups.

As you say, it was a first hand experience of what unsupervised, mindless optimization looks like. Ethics are not factored in the merit function, so they just don't exist for the machine.
By 1 person, led alone the entire conference...

The airlines wouldn't ground flights, they might just adjust their models for purchasing fuel. In most cases they'd just sell the tickets to non-software engineers who actually value their time (basic supply and demand logic).

Maybe we should move to a model where all software conferences are scheduled with an associated Amtrak ticket. Then companies will just have to forgo years of collective productivity as all employees waste a week of their lives sitting on a train.

The cognitive dissonance here is deafening.
These clowns have no clue what it takes to live on the sea. None of them have any serious experience in marine engineering, or in operating large ships or offshore platforms. They'll be begging the Coast Guard for rescue when the first big storm comes through.

He discouraged philosophical frameworks because he believed that in the end they limit human life. A truly well lived life, according to Nietzsche, is one where the individual breaks free of indoctrination and dogma, and lives life as they want. In the truest sense. This is Nietzsche's goal for humanity, so he spends his time writing philosophy aimed at tearing down religion and systems of moral control. Nietzsche wants to free humanity...
They may not be equivalent, but for the purposes of this situation they are both worthy of identifying.

You're justifying the game plan of a certain type of programmer. I'm asking how to find someone who's professional toolbox includes the ability to knuckle down and manage the boring shit until it's done, over a project-level time period.

In this instance I don't want to hire an alphabet soup programmer who will move on to the next company as fast as the next resume update allows. If it's a side effect of kicking ass on a variety of projects, broad experience is a nice-to-have, but I need someone who will hang around long enough to internalize and take responsibility for business goals.
