I see a lot of angry posts like this, but fail to understand how it's reflected in reality in 2019—I agree that Windows 10 was a little messy at launch, but it's come a long way from where many of these complaints seem to stem from.

Yeah, Windows has a bad rap, but in the last 2-4 years has come leaps and bounds from where it was—implementing great, thoughtfully designed features on a regular basis, for free. With WSL2 and the other developer-focused improvements in tow, most of these are a shitlist of nitpicks, than things you'll run into every day. I switched from macOS about two years back, and couldn't see myself going the other way anymore ever again. But, that said, I can see why people want to stay there! That's the beauty of choice.

These types of posts are based on historical grudges, rather than modern experiences with Windows. Sure, there's going to be annoying things to change out of the box, but every machine, with any OS, has that.
Which is crazy. AES is good enough for TOP SECRET, it's the most widely supported & vetted modern cipher, and all modern hardware has instruction sets dedicated to it that prevent timing side channels (which Serpent can't claim). Not using AES here is a product design red flag.
He stole schematics, does a senior executive draw schematics? Likely no. He probably considered it all his own and didn't think about how many people played a role in building this tech.

Eventually people learn to not do that anymore, like many do in downtown areas today... Eventually they might reduce the amount of cars they have, because doing that is a pain in the ass. Or they pay for their parking spot vs. freeloading on 'free' parking.
The full title is ‘“HE’S FULL OF SHIT”: HOW ELON MUSK FOOLED INVESTORS, BILKED TAXPAYERS, AND GAMBLED TESLA TO SAVE SOLARCITY’. Makes me wonder are we in the middle of yet another Tesla shorting cycle. Buy some shorts, trash Tesla in the media, wait for stock to drop, then cashout.

At least in the US, the minimalistic design style where things are "cold and bright" is called "Scandinavian Design", which makes it rather appropriate for Helsinki. Personally, I like the style and find it more cheerful than the dark wood and stone "Victorian" style that is traditional to libraries.
The Linux kernel is really, really large, and changes extremely rapidly, to the point of breaking such "experiments" (as the original poster already noted.) It's also rather loosely commented and, aside from a handful of core systems, not so well documented.

The BSDs do much better here; they have excellent manpages for almost all kernel APIs, manuals for how the internals work, and very good source code commenting and organization practices. Haiku is not as good as the BSDs on manpages and manuals, but that's the only real way we differ from them (in this respect.)
Sadly not an unusual attitude. I've known (and occasionally worked for) people who felt that rules were for chumps. Their reasoning was always a variation on;

"winning is good",

"chumps slow themselves down by following rules",

"in your evaluation at the end of the year the bonuses go to 'winners' not losers."

It is a rather narcissistic perhaps even sociopathic view of the world in my opinion, but it does exist.
What is the exact reason for all of this? Is this part of the current administration's "trade war" tactics? Or is it something less politically motivated?
No! You are right, but isn't that super interesting? Especially given various other descriptions of automata, and also some of the descriptions of medieval automata.

The issue was not of propping up a domestic industry, I believe it was of keeping out disease. So no, I don't think foreign bananas were going to be allowed whatever shape the industry was in.
This seems incredibly dubious if not completely factually false. Neuroscience doesn't support this claim whatsoever (especially the "you already know what you are going to say" part) There is a reason the most brilliant minds engaged in thought experiments, which consisted of internal dialogues with themselves.
Benjamin's essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction[1][2] is probably of great interest to HN readers: he states that reproduction releases art from the ritual of production. This applies to so many aspects of our modern digital lives. It's touched on in this essay when they note that Benjamin viewed modern writing, such as Kafka, as becoming secular, i.e. free from religious ritual: "where its laws and traditions are still present but have lost their meaning". Interesting stuff for our current times, e.g. as another extraction from the article reads:

"how does human perception evolve over the course of history, as a result of social and technological change?"

While I would be happy to see a more equitable and sustainable distribution of jobs and industries between the U.S. and China, the phrase "Hopefully...kills off a bunch of the Chinese businesses" uses language which is a bit off-putting. If those businesses changed their business model to sell more to Chinese consumers, or utilized U.S. distributors more, that would be good.

I realize that you were not actually suggesting that anybody should get killed, just pointing out how it sounded from my perspective, a little off-putting.
Alternate Day Fasting Improves Physiological and Molecular Markers of Aging [pdf]
Lesson learned- if you leave your company- blow up the last project, do something stupid. Unstar yourself.
That's very viewpoint-centric.

If your viewpoint is that of a power user who thinks everyone else should be one too, then it'd be fair to say they're orthogonal.

If your viewpoint is that of a product manager trying to give the most people the best experience you can, they're not orthogonal at all. You're trading a bit of scorn from a very small percentage of users for a larger number of very different users keeping their computers secure. Reducing the number of compromised windows installations is not silly at all.
There's some really great info in here!

The school I work for has been pushing out an LTSB image to most of our PC's and I can attest that it is a huge improvement over Pro.

The article also recommends Optimize-Offline and O&O ShutUp10 for users who can't get a license for the LTSC image. I hadn't heard of Optimize-Offline, but ShutUp10 is great for making Windows 10 way less annoying and invasive. I'll be checking out Optimize-Offline tonight!

I'm sorry but Nextcloud is getting a bit of an unfair shake here. I recently got a raspberry pi 4 and installing nextcloud on there wasn't rocket science: https://smalldata.tech/blog/2019/07/12/setting-up-a-raspberr...

In fact the biggest issue that I faced was that my router did not support NAT loopback which led me to using the pi for DNS in order to be able to use my "private" cloud.

Nextcloud is an open-source dropbox and is written in PHP. It can be very easily installed via docker and is quite mature at this point with a rich ecosystem of 3rd party apps for functionality other than file sync. Big props to the folks working on it!
Car culture is finally backfiring in large cities. It's fine to do this when your city's population is small. You can have lots of cars and there is a lot of space. But now cities like LA are paying the price of everyone thinking they NEED a car and making it a cultural status thing. Imagine everyone thinking helicopters were cool and everyone should have a helicopter when they're 18 in order to get laid. It makes no sense, it's a transportation vehicle meant to be useful. It takes you from point A to B and that's it.
How to Identify the VMware Virtual Machine File Locks
This article is from January but things do seem to be suddenly getting exciting around room temperature superconductors again. The preprint mentioned in the paper became an article in Nature in May. Moreover, the fact that there now seem to be way to design superconductive materials rather just stumble into them could be a game changer.
See, your comment is the typical comment of someone who comes from macOS. The angry posts come from people who've been using Windows since forever.
You don't really think any prices are going to go down right?
In my scenario the more popular artist is pretending to be the original creator and stealing their work. But imagine any plagiarism scenario. Someone republishing Harry Potter under their name for instance.

How can you prosecute someone for plagiarism without copyright laws?

I would be all over LTSB for all the things except lack of support for Microsoft Store apps, which I consider a vital feature - because for some apps this might be the only distribution channel available.

There have been a number of cases in the financial industry with trade secret theft and the perpetrator has been sent to prison. Why if he is convicted (likely imho) wouldn’t he also?
I thought this was a pretty good piece, and points to the problems caused by running services at regular intervals.
The maximum penalty is 250k per count or twice the gross gain/loss, whichever is greater. So the financial penalty could be quite significant.

Not quite. Your counter argument is "doing things to the brain affects our mind, which shows our mind is physical." The analogy I offer shows that the fact doing something to X affects Y does not mean that X is Y.

So, the evidence you offer that the mind is physical does not actually show the mind is physical.
I'll hazard a guess that it takes less than 4 other data points, gathered without your knowledge or consent (but very commonly gathered nonetheless), to associate your credit card with your google activity.

And 4 data points would be a lot more than usually required.
>never liked when rules got in the way of progress.

Yes, that seems to be the Silicon Valley Culture.

"Move fast and break things"

"Its better to apologize and seek forgiveness, than ask for permission"

"Though the most successful founders are usually good people, they tend to have a piratical gleam in their eye. They're not Goody Two-Shoes type good. Morally, they care about getting the big questions right, but not about observing proprieties. That's why I'd use the word naughty rather than evil. They delight in breaking rules, but not rules that matter."
Do EU governments not have something like FedRamp? I work on a popular SaaS product for enterprises. At my last job I supported a managed service provider who was going after some federal IT outsourcing business.

AWS has FedRamp instances in DCs no one else uses. Same with the SaaS system I work on. They had all kinds of restrictions including only allowing US Citizens to access the systems.
I honestly miss actively using both. Better to be angry with everyone.
you might want to search based on the predicate, or you might have versioned triples where the predicate changes

in one version, you have these two ideas represented:

[bob,likes,cake]

[ann,suspects,[bob, likes, cake]]

this may change in another version:

[bob,likes,cake]

[ann,knows,[bob,likes,cake]]

a decent triple store will allow you to version these ideas and explore how they change over time, or maybe query by predicate
I think opinions can have equal value - in a roundabout way.

I.e. climate denialism is usually an expression of anti-establishmentarianism married with a fear of downward mobility.
I've been using Win 10 on my main desktop for the past four years or so. I almost feel embarassed for saying so.

Microsoft definitely has a systemic "Software Quality Problem".

It does get really embarassing at times. Or, at least I would hope someone there is embarassed. I'm not sure. Maybe Raymond Chen is the single one embarassed person and everyone else are new recruits happy to be there?

Really, the only reason I run Windows 10 is that it's the fastest way to use the web, which is what I do all day long. The browsers are optimized for Windows in three critical ways:

a) general rendering speed

b) font rendering quality

c) site quality/functionality - a particular browser not working with a particular site is a much more urgent issue on Windows, where 90% of the users are than anywhere else.
Definitely the latter. Hundreds of employees worked on the LIDAR designs that Levandowski downloaded and took to Otto and Uber.
If I did half the things I already know to do, I would be in great shape. Tell me how to make myself do the right things so that I actually do them consistently, and you will be immensely wealthy after you publish that self-help book.
People have such an impetus for Musk's downfall but a few off colour or poorly thought out tweets is nothing compared to something as criminal as downloading everything from your company before starting a competitor. Or worse while you work on the competitor on the side even before leaving the company.

Anthony should have known that files are easily tracked in a place like Google and that he'd put a giant spotlight on himself by competing with Google's future golden goose.

Another option without Edge, Cortana and Candy Crush is Windows Server 2019 which is what I have on my Dev PC.

I’ve always run desktop server when I could - back to NT4 - initially to avoid any differences between local behaviour and deployed, though this is not really ever the case now. So now it’s for this reason - to avoid the cacophony of recent Windows versions, weird behaviour from updates and the like. I don’t know offhand how much a license is, mine is MSDN.
This article is bullshit, written and funded by real estate developers who want to build high density housing without concerning themselves with where the people who live in that housing are going to park the cars they own. This appears to rely on the fallacy that people are going to give up their cars to take non-existent public transportation to bring their kids to school or get groceries.
The public transit that does exist is rife with drug addicted, mentally ill homeless people. No fucking thanks!
In this day and age, is it a good idea to constantly share your location to the public?
nothing like never being able to afford a house ever at all. And when you finally are able too, with a humungous mortgage and insane property taxes (due to the high price you paid for it).

No-zoning means housing is much much cheaper, we're talking 100K - 800K difference or more. With all the money you saved, you'd be able to buy another house far away from that bus depot.
They've managed to hold prices steady in a desirable place. That's a pretty good accomplishment. Compare and contrast with the bay area where housing earns more on an hourly basis than many people do:

That line of thinking may technically help him substantially. The actual document theft isn't something he can walk away from, but the amount of harm it caused can definitely be argued in court. It is public knowledge he worked on lidar systems prior to working at Google so the scope of the processes and ideas that went into the stolen documents may simply be refinements from his Darpa days. Those refinements could ultimately be argued to be worth a LOT, but it does help his case- IMHO.
The Genius Who First Predicted Black Holes
Go all the way, build Arcologies.

> Arcology, a portmanteau of "architecture" and "ecology", is a field of creating architectural design principles for very densely populated, ecologically low-impact human habitats.

> The term was coined in 1969 by architect Paolo Soleri, who believed that a completed arcology would provide space for a variety of residential, commercial, and agricultural facilities while minimizing individual human environmental impact. These structures have been largely hypothetical, as no arcology, even one envisioned by Soleri himself, has yet been built.

I'm not sure if JS is much better for example:

const a = []
const b = ''
const c = {}
c[a] = 'a'
c[b] = 'b'
console.log(c[a])
console.log(c[b])

But my point was more that if lua had been given the same amount of development it would probably have turned out as good, It hasn't, so comparing current day-lua with current day-js does not really work.
LTSC is not intended as a desktop operating system. What people should be looking for is Enterprise: Which has all of the telemetry 0 options and such, but still works with modern Windows applications.

It's highly likely especially after Windows 7 goes EOL, you'll start seeing a lot more consumer applications that depend on Windows 10 functionality that's not going to work in LTSC.

Tell that to all sorts of companies who make billions of dollars off IP

Remember that IP isn't just music and movies and digital data that you as random Joe or Jane Consumer want.

It includes trade secrets, design patents, etc.

You probably don't give a damn about the IP of a tissue mill that includes production data and information about how they run their machines to get a perfect roll of toilet paper every time, but the companies I work with give a lot of a damn about that and have no desire to share that information with anyone ever and hold onto that IP like their life depends on it (because it very well might)

You have to remember that "IP" isn't just stuff that you might want. You have to look past your own nose a little.
I'm actually pretty curious how this could niche cultural phenomena like electric skateboards or mechanical keyboards hobbyists where it's all about low volume customized shipping from Shenzhen. Maybe this will force consolidation of individual consumer tastes into things like Massdrop.

Isn't that attitude what 'disruption' culture is all about?

Find a business that takes forever because of regulation, then ignore the regulation, and profit? Uber, that's an example of this. AirBnB in a lot of instances, too, I think.
In my experience shipping prices from the US to EU are ludicrous. So much so that I'm surprised they have any business. This doesn't sound outside of the realm of possibility to me.
I would get rid of them entirely for at least half the areas/city. Then, you could have the other half of the city with zoning laws and let those people pay through the nose for the so called benefits of "zoning"
Holy hell, I had no idea it was that bad over in PC land. I mean you _hear_ things, but jesus.
Yes, it does. Alongside other similar variants, like the FUT2 mutation that prevents norovirus.
I've tried LTSC, and to be honest, I prefer Windows Server 2019. It had the ability to set the Telemetry to 0 as well, and has less stuff pre-installed.
I was historically a Windows user and started my career as a Windows sysadmin for a few years—I switched to macOS for a few years and came back as it became increasingly buggy and Microsoft's development story changed.

The complaints seem to come from heavily technical folks that think LTSB branches are reasonable things for normal people to run. I wouldn't want to run one on my own machine.
The missteps were W8-8.1 and WS2012. W10 and W2012R2 and beyond have been much better. Not perfect, but leagues better than the those disastrous years between.

Remember when Windows Server 2012 didn't have a start menu button, but instead a pixel? I hope someone was fired for that blunder.
I used to name projects of funny names, but then I started realizing that I had no idea what other people's cute names were for their projects.

We have one in our company named right now named Harbinger, neat name... but wtf is it? Boring names are boring, but they tell other people, and future you, what they are or do.
Isn't the fine supposed to be punitive and discourage further infractions? If that is the case, the fine will have to scale with the perpetrators income in order to retain bite.
Home cloud is an oxymoron, no? At what point is it just "I have some servers"?
Why can’t the people that want transit be the ones that pay for it? If public transit were in high demand, it would seem like it shouldn’t be charging a subsidized fare.

Making driving worse does give transit a competitive advantage. However, if transit were so desirable, why would it need to win by simply making everything suck more? That’s not a very strong vote for transit. Transit should win because it’s better, not because we have made all the other options suck more. I suppose we could have snipers shooting at freeway cars if we wanted to increase subway ridership right? However, that doesn’t make the subway intrinsically better. It just means you have a lot more people unhappy.

I don’t understand why people are willing to make the largest number of people unhappy in order to achieve some transit utopian fantasy. The whole debate sounds like Marxism: let’s make everyone’s life suck equally. We don’t actually want anyone to enjoy their car because then they wouldn’t want to take our shitty bus. If your bus wasn’t so shitty (I am in the Bay Area, so I mean that both literally and figuratively,) then maybe people might want to ride your bus. My company has some private bus shuttles that are spectacular. When possible, I prefer to ride those shuttles despite having a great car and an easy drive. But riding the city bus? Heck no! I would need a hepatitis booster shot as well as having to ride in dirty, uncomfortable surroundings with crazy people. Not to mention waiting at a bus stop with those same sorts of people — and stopping every two blocks for someone to get on or off.
Bloodletting was almost always ineffective. Pills work.

Your best bet in life now is to invest in your health early. It's a compounding effect. Walk regularly. Exercise. Eat healthy (mostly vegetables, fruit, reduce animal products). Sleep well.

Why not both?
I don't know. That'd be a good thing to find out.
