Isn't it obvious? Microsoft's former monopoly was eroded first by the web, then phones, then tablets. Using a non-Microsoft computing platform is nowhere near as restricting as it was in the 90s.

And they never got the same foothold in newer markets they entered since then.

Individual Tumblr blogs get to decide whether example.tumblr.com is "only visible to logged-in users." If they turn on that setting, the site 1. forces you to log in, and 2. renders the site inline as part of the Tumblr dashboard SPA. If you don't turn it on, though, your Tumblr blog is a public/static website indexable by Google.

Verizon moved Tumblr out of their longtime HQ last year. It was a beautiful space in Flatiron District that the company occupied for almost 8 years. I've heard the space is now a WeWork.
The main reasons are:

1. The monopoly in desktops is old and considered waning.

2. It is the only competition for the others in some areas (Azure for AWS, Bing for Google) so we kind of want it around.

3. Also, it charges for services so, perhaps, it doesn't need to advertise. (Pros and cons)
Reminded me of my mom's place. They've got a multi-year project to dig up the road, replacing main water pipe and other stuff, so whole road is closed off for a few miles. So far in 2019, my mom (who's a pensioner) and me have only seen people working there during weekends or after five in the evening. Mostly sporadically, nothing for a week, then a small group on Sunday afternoon, then nothing again.

Meanwhile all those construction vehicles and tools are just sitting around. Somehow these guys ended up being the lowest bidders.
Paypal is an interesting case [1]. Whether they served an EV-cert differed based on browser. If EV worked, that would mean people who switched browsers would refuse to use paypal.

And yet, there are no reports of people thinking their paypal is untrusted. Nor did paypal decide to roll out EV everywhere because they were losing users.

Nope, that one is different.

That is a reason people do not read code, but imo not the primary one. I don't read code because, unless I am forced, it is a waste of time. I used to grade assignments for an intro CS class @ Stanford, and if I had to read your helper functions it was because your code didn't work. Not because I wanted to.

Not to start wars, but imperative code especially is a waste of time to read unless forced, as I need to understand your desired goal AND how you chose to get there. See for + if vs filter, for example. I would rather just read a function comment or class comment or some doc instead (assuming its up to date...)
be that as it may, the current automated flagging system is abhorrent and pretty much killed all confidence in the platform especially among artists. why would anyone take invest the time and effort to build a gallery & maintain a presence on tumblr when it feels like you're playing russian roulette with every (non-nsfw) image you upload? 4chan recently was split into separate domains for sfw/nsfw boards, maybe tumblr could go in a similar direction?

Yeah, I don't know if I gave the right impression with that last post. I don't think Plasma 5's non-touch experience has been going down disastrously lately. There's nothing that screams "made for mobile" that you can't change (even Breeze's huge widgets, I mean, there's always other themes). And if touch devices are fashionable and is what gets people interested in KDE and gets contributors on board, I'm by all means happy if that gets to be the default :).

But I'm not convinced the "not at the expense of a no-touch interface" part is going to stay true for long.

FWIW:

> Settings Manager: on my machine I can configure it to have the tree view in its hamburger "settings" button, at runtime; no recompile required.

Some distros still enable that feature but it's a distro-specific thing. I don't know if it's maintained anymore.

> Similarly, I don't think you can chalk the change in Virtual Desktop interface up to optimizing for mobile at the expense of desktop. You still have a spinner for "rows", so it's not like it's an effort to get rid of spinners.

No, but it's kind of awkward to use :). Clicking "Add" four times gives you four desktops with the same name, for example. It's definitely not an easier interaction model than the spinner-based one.

...but this sort of discussion (is it better to have an extra spinner, or an extra button and manually edit each desktop's name? Which one is more intuitive? Which one is more discoverable? Which one is etc. etc.) is kind of a bikeshedding dead end to me. As long as it receives bugfixes, as opposed to rewrites, for the foreseeable future, I couldn't be happier.

The bit about bugfixes vs. rewrites isn't just whining, it's kind of a pain point for small-time contributors -- which, realistically speaking, is how 90% of independent developers get into a project, we're all small-time contributors first (unless you're hired by a big company to work right on something full-time, which is increasingly common in the FOSS world, but not specifically for desktops). It's pretty hard to motivate yourself to contribute a fix when you know it's gonna be useless one or two years from now. Feeling like you're participating in the steady improvement of a thing is pretty nice. Feeling like you're participating in the perpetual churn of an eternal beta isn't much fun.
"But an institutional fund is legally required to be a hard-ass."

This isn't true in the sense most people think it is. It's true that management must act in the best interests of the shareholders, but the legal requirement is more about acting in an ethically or financially defensible way, rather than dollars above all else. It is perfectly legal for management or an investment bank to allow the entity to act in ways that benefit in the long term but not the short term. The greatest example of this in modern business is Amazon. Bezos sees that getting a large, long-term-viable business means putting profits right back into the company, and sometimes even running debt. No where in any laws and regulations is any manager or investor required to sell tomorrow in order to maximize profit today. If a founder in a startup has a wacky idea, but the board/ownership/etc. feel that the plan can work, they CAN permit it with no legal repercussion. Fiduciary duty is about ethical action, not profit, they can't knowingly in a manner that is deleterious to investors/shareholders. And even that low bar is very hard to prove in court.

In the article, "Silicon Valley's Youth Problem" [1] the author mentions Meraki (now Cisco-Meraki) as an example of a startup working on advances in technology rather than the latest web app.
Do you know of other companies that fit the description?

I don't know if there are special rules for air traffic. But generally, the immediate operator (i. e. the airline in this case) would be responsible. If any of the manufacturers (or possibly a maintenance contractor) were to be responsible, the airline would simply be able to recover whatever damages they had to pay from them.
I mean, we pay a lot of money for the buffoonery, corruption, and incompetence that isnour government.

expression, nor is it a breeding ground for dangerous ideologies

4) Microsoft is generally much more enterprise-focused than these other companies, which all have very active footholds in the lives of regular people. When it comes to something like the power to make or break democracy, Microsoft really has very little impact by comparison.

It's not that Microsoft being so big is good, but it just doesn't have an impact on the masses that's comparable to the others.
One of the pieces in her hand has the unique shape of a fan blade. There’s a series on YouTube documenting the factories where the engines are created: https://youtu.be/UazsDDFsS7Q
We recently switched from being a small team piloting Mattermost to using Teams as it rolls out to the whole company. We sorely miss Mattermost. It'll be nice to be able to reach more people in the company via chat than we could before, but everything about the UI is lacking, except maybe how replying works.
That's most definitely not how security works. The strength of your password is not proportional to the number of bits of entropy it has.
The title calling it "curable" feels a bit misleading. To explain...

Ebola's a viral infection, like the common cold or the flu. If someone gets sick with it, then usually their immune system should fight it off naturally, just like the common cold or the flu. And just like a cold/flu, there hasn't really been a cure for it; instead, Ebola sufferers would be put on bed-rest with fluids to resist dehydration, fever management, etc., while the body fights it off.

However, Ebola's symptoms tend to be severe. Glancing at Wikipedia's figures, it seems that about 50% of people who get it die -- which probably varies a lot by the exact strain, health of the victim, support received while sick, etc.. Many victims end up making a full recovery, though some end up taking more long-term damage from the trauma.

As I'm reading it, they've observed that some victims tend to fight off Ebola with relative success. So, they appear to be trying to copy those survivors' defenses via [monoclonal antibodies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclonal_antibody), then pass that on to Ebola sufferers.

Since they're basically optimizing a victim's immune system with specially selected antibodies, the victim still suffers Ebola and fights it off as usual, just they're getting some pretty powerful backup in that fight.

And apparently the results are pretty good so far! The article reports:

> The monoclonal antibody cocktail produced by a company called Regeneron Pharmaceuticals had the biggest impact on lowering death rates, down to 29 percent, while NIAID’s monoclonal antibody, called mAb114, had a mortality rate of 34 percent. The results were most striking for patients who received treatments soon after becoming sick, when their viral loads were still low—death rates dropped to 11 percent with mAb114 and just 6 percent with Regeneron’s drug, compared with 24 percent with ZMapp and 33 percent with Remdesivir.

The article exaggerates a bit by citing the mortality rates for people who don't receive any support; that seems like an unreasonable figure since this treatment is an advanced form of support, so presumably it'll improve the odds of those who do get support.

So, if mortality rates are about 50%, then presumably they can drop that to about 29% overall, with people who seek treatment earlier enjoying the greatest benefit with mortality rates dropping to 6%.

Realistically speaking, this seems to suggest that this "cure" reduces an individual's odds-of-death by a bit shy of 50%; that leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it's awesome because:

1. Any progress on something like this is awesome.

2. This sort of technology can rapidly improve, so the current positive results may just be the beginning.
Didn’t they try back in like 2000?
Here in Norway they do (about 50% of new cars are electric, so there’s always someone in need of charging)

If you were to ask people in the street about Tumblr and what it was for, I would be surprised if you had many people say 'porn!'. They might not have heard of it or they might remember it from a decade ago or they might even think it was 'flickr'. It certainly is not up there with Twitter and Facebook as a full on household name.

The next 'tumblr' that comes along, i.e. when it is another thing that Automattic do, need not carry over any of the adult content connotations of the past. It can be fully repurposed with the SFW punters happy with whatever comes next. I doubt it will be mySpaced.
The last time antitrust action was taken against Microsoft (United States v. Microsoft Corp., filed in 2001), law folks' tech-illiteracy and Microsoft's slitheriness led to a penalty of merely having to publish API documentation. The aim had been to make Windows an interface that competitors could implement.

I hope Microsoft gets served for antitrust again, and that this time a savvier legal community can actually achieve the goal is the first suit.
Marissa often called plays from the Google playbook. Acquiring tumblr was supposed to be like when Google bought Blogger.

Houses are only getting larger for (often enormous) suburban houses in new developments, not for apartments or redeveloped houses in existing neighborhoods.

The pressure against urbanization is going to continue growing as long as the quality of life (esp apartment size) decreases in urbanized areas.

I have lived in a few excellent urban neighborhoods with very strange demographics resulting from the lack of variety in housing sizes. You saw very many young people and a lesser but solid presence of long-present middle age to elderly people but no families with children older than a year or two.

The neighborhoods were very livable until you had children and needed space, then you either had to be earning way above average salary or live packed in like sardines because the fancy new construction was only small apartments.
Does it? There are an awful lot of platforms that support the kind of content Tumblr supports now. How is this meaningfully different from a WordPress account, or a user subreddit, or a Medium blog, or even Facebook? How is Tumblr going to provide a platform that is substantially different from those?

There are more open platforms. There are more popular platforms. There are more independent platforms. How is the new Tumblr going to improve on the existing options?
It's a joke, not analysis. Was hoping for the latter.
Article from 2018
> Rules of discourse that prevent resolutions is something I believe is harmful rather than helpful at HN, and enables the spread of misinformation.

Very well put. This is my biggest concern as well. HN mods prevent resolution by punishing participants in back and forth discussion for being part of a “flame war”. It is an incredibly coarse and un-nuanced view of debate.
Why? Who cares about this and how would it be in the public good?

It was not phrased as an advocation, merely as an argument that it is in fact possible to effect change on an individual or small-scale level.

As for calling it "terrorism", you would not call what is happening in Hong Kong right now terrorism would you? However, it is the same kind of "sabotage" of the smooth operation of society that would be necessary to bring about change, as it puts pressure on those in power to act. Grounding planes and shutting down major roads can be terrifying and are the same effects real "terrorism" has too.
Only takes 15 minutes to go from 0-40% in a Tesla Model 3 Long Range (310 miles max) at a superCharger, and full is only about an hour because the last 20% is slow.

You can hit another charger 2 hours down the road after that 15 minute charge and plug in for 5-10 minutes to get to the next charger if needed. It will be ready after you're done taking a bathroom break and you bought a snack.

Few people need to charge to 100% on a road trip if they have a good EV. Tesla did the right thing with their design. Everyone else should catch up.

Imagine if GM cars only came with 5 gallon gas tanks but the Audi came with a 15 gallon tank. That's basically what we're talking about. Don't shit on EVs because only one company is doing it correctly.
So would this work with React Native or Xamarin apps, for example?
I think the better example would be everyone grabbing a sandbag. It's not going to stop the flood, but it can protect some buildings. Your example is bad because you posit everyone making individual changes will make no difference. That is false. Everyone acting together will not solve it, but it will make a dent. Your order of magnitudes are off.

I'm confused by what the "AMP viewer" plot-lines represent then, but not including the actual pre-rendering is leaving off a huge source of improvements.

Why are skeptics like you usually so freaking lazy?

If Examine wasn't great, it should be quite easy for you to find literally just one source that was consistently and objectively better.

The task of the skeptic is quite a lot easier. For the the fan, it's a lot harder- a fan like me would have to literally track down EVERY single alternative and show it was not as good as the thing we admire.

All you have to do, as a skeptic, is find a single better source. Much easier to do.

But I'm willing to do some of your work for you.

Here is a list of the websites which usually rank above Examine:

WebMD (which openly partners with pharmaceutical companies)

Healthline (originally launched in 1999, it owns Drugs.com, Livestrong, Greatist, MedicalNewsToday)

VerywellHealth (partners with the Cleveland Clinic, started as an About.com company)

Hospital websites (such as UMMC, the Cleveland Clinic, the Mayo Clinic, Sloan-Kettering, NYU, etc.)

Governmental institutions (NIH/Pubmed, CDC, ODS, FDA, etc.)

Other medical news sites (which are almost always owned by WebMD or Healthline)

Is any single one of those more credible and neutral than Examine, typically? Are their sources as comprehensive, and do they summarize things as cleanly and neutrally?

Does any one of them even have better moral incentives? Examine only makes money from selling informational guides, apparently. That sounds the best to me.
This.

All that tech people see is Microsoft positioning itself as this open and FOSS friendly company. But this is just a tiny fraction of what they do and mostly fuelled by a tiny fraction of their employees.

The corporate facing rest hasn't changed a bit. Quite the contrary. Their licensing has become even more opaque, their overreach regarding what they shove down user's throats has increased, and you can't be sure you're the costumer anymore. But all of this stays hidden within some IT department who are mostly staffed by Windows admins who wouldn't know better anyway and don't complain. The developers who rave about the cool new Microsoft never have to deal with the blunt impact.

Teams does have a "Do not disturb" setting. Either right-click the taskbar icon or click your user picture in the app.
With very few exceptions, I'm in favor of the internet having more of anything that anyone is trying to make it have less of.
Yeah, I read it and came away no better than I went in. Right, so all these things don't always work, but nobody claimed that and the article didn't present any solutions, so I really didn't gain anything from reading it. Besides, I've personally had plenty of success in applying these myths.

I also took a look at the "root cause analysis" article and I don't quite know what to make of it. If I don't fix the "root cause" then the problem will reoccur. Sure, it might not prevent future problems, but it certainly is necessary to fix the current problem and to prevent that exact problem from reoccurring.

Uhhh, no? Nowhere I've worked at least. It helped us understand what went wrong and what caused the failure. No finger pointing, just finding out what caused the breakage so it can be fixed.
Yet it is probably installed on over 95% of non-mac laptops.
Just FYI I was addressing the question. You're being a bit salty. You should have asked "what else other than x, y , z" if you already had a good answer.

Aside: the Creatine page links to https://examine.com/about/#researchers which is below where Kamal Patel appears on that page, so I scanned down the page and he wasn't mentioned (he's at the top, but I had to search to find him).

That page is long, and linking to generic prose about researchers from a named link made me think there was no information on that person.

That could be a one-off error, of course.
You're right, but ultimately, this just points to apartment living being basically a hack that is only acceptable for the poor, and some very specific prestige situations (e.g. the alpha cities; a flat in London is 'special' because it's London; a flat in Leeds is just crap).

It strikes me as being another one of these 'let's make the life of the poor better' type situations, where you assume the continuation of strong class boundaries.

A person should be able to modify their living environment as they choose within reason. Plugging in a car or plumbing in a washing machine is such a basic adjustment that really should never be an issue.

It becomes such because we have this whole class-based nonsense of tons of people being serfs to a hamster wheel of landlords or whatever.
