> "Local accounts" is perfectly apt name. "Local accounts" doesn't come close to implying "can't join the internet" either, although "offline accounts" might.

You have a higher opinion of the "typical" end user than I do. "Local" invites the question "local to what?" and "as opposed to what?". When the other option is "online account", then yes even "local" leads to "can't use on the internet" to certain types of users.

Burying a power user feature to avoid confusing inexperienced end users is justified. The argument over whether or not "local accounts" or "offline accounts" are a power user feature is a more interesting argument. I do think that if we can't come up for a name for them that isn't confusing to inexperienced end users, than that's at least one indicator that it may be a power user feature.

> The pain point about telemetry is that Windows is a paid product and there shouldn't even be such a thing in a product that people pay for.

People want data-driven improvements in paid products, too. (Would you rather Microsoft just blindly make changes? What are the alternatives? Go back to waterfall and nothing but overly detailed and over-engineered specs of what some PM thought was a good idea because they heard it from some rich Enterprise client at a tech conference three years ago?)

There are tons of paid products with telemetry. It's been highly upvoted advice here on HN, to do things like A/B testing, and metrics-driven development. Lots of paid products have telemetry (including Apple's and Google's).

"Paid products" is another amusing double standard I'm going to add to my list for telemetry complaints. "What's good for the startup goose, is not good for the old tech gander." --HN commenters, probably

> And although there might (now) be settings to control telemetry, what good are they when Windows updates reset all settings regularly?

There were always settings since Windows XP. The only thing Windows 10 did was change them from opt-in to opt-out by default. Microsoft then responded to arguments that the settings weren't granular enough, so now there's dozens more settings with pages of documentation each (and an explorer tool to log and examine collected telemetry data, if you wish).

The resets were bugs in the upgrade process that have generally been fixed since. Microsoft has been taking settings resets seriously, and absolutely considers them bugs. The way in-place upgrades work, migration scripts missing settings is a problem. Microsoft's "Beta" program (Insiders) is sadly not setup to find telemetry reset bugs because they need the telemetry most of all in Beta testing, so I feel it's understandably unfortunate that so many telemetry settings reset bugs have made it into production.

Transit app slams Lyft’s attempts to ‘take over mobility’

> Present-day China essentially has no ethics

Source? I lived in China and didn't ever feel like I was in a place without ethics. Different ethics, sure, but it really looks to me like you simply don't know or understand China.

The Great Leap Forward had nothing to do with routing out values, it was about hyper-fast industrialization, and it failed.

There are real problems with modern China, and, separately, with the CCP, for example a lack of separation of powers and a lack of rule of law. But your statements look much more like fear of the other and demonization of what you don't understand that well reasoned arguments.

If you live in China, you'll experience some things that are much better than they are in western countries. I'm not saying there's any comparison really, but the fact is that the reality is far more complex than you're making it out to be.
Well if warren wanted to breakup a tech monopoly it would be amazon retail and aws which subsidizes their business.
I've worked in offices for about 15 years and I've never had a specialized environment even close to as good as the one I have at home.

Most companies flat out made us use Windows workstations, even though 100% of our work was developing for Unix/Linux and not for Windows.

Another company allowed Linux workstations but only CentOS, and we were stuck with 6 until years after 7 was released.

Finally there was the company that let me use whatever software I wanted, but had fixed-height desks that were simply too low to fit my knees underneath. Aside from that, it was the best place I've ever worked, but I had to quit after less than a year because my posture was getting noticeably worse just from having to use that desk.

Now I work at home and everything is set up perfectly. I'll never go back to an office, even though I have to give up more than half of my potential income to work at home, it's just not worth it.
The second amendment was nothing then like it is today; until 2008 it has been interpreted to mean the states have a right to raise a militia, not as an individual mandate to possess firearms.

> If person A comes along and demands that I refer to them by their "preferred pronoun" (even if it is a mismatch for their genetic sex or the grammar of the language being spoken) and I refuse, that's considered an insult.

Call me crazy, but yeah, that's an insult. Not a deadly one, but that's like someone insisting I call them "Doctor" - I may think they're a pretentious ass, but it's an insult if I don't follow that small, easy request. And the tone I read in the above (which, granted, is a tone I'm reading from text) where they say "even if it's a mismatch for their genetic sex or the grammar of the language being spoken" tells me they intend it as insult.

It's similar to those that refer to Beto O'Rourke as "Robert Francis" or that always dropped in "Hussein" when they mentioned Barack Obama - they are using something technically "correct" as a social attack. And that's insulting.

I understand there are nuances, and I don't fully know all the issues involved, but this did not give my sympathy for the author. I read this as "I don't get to be snide and I'm going to try to raise a reasonable-sounding case and raise the specter of thoughtcrimes in my outrage".

Being polite when you don't want to is basically the DEFINITION of being polite.

I'm not active on SE sites, and this author probably did great work in supporting things...but this doesn't sound like an attitude that is a terrible loss for any site that involves many people interacting.

...what does Chinese gain from these attacks then? International infamy?
Every war goes to the streets in the end. No amount of tanks or missiles stops this eventuality. At some point you are going door to door with guns. You can't just bomb people from far away with a few missiles and wipe your hands clean of it and call it a day.

The only effective bombing campaign that subdued a citizenry outright in military history were nukes, and if we ever crossed that line as a nation where the government nuked it's own citizens to quell rebellion, we are never coming back from that as a nation. It would leave a scar on humanity. Whatever would be left of the United States after that event would curse the people that did it.

So to your point, the 2A is not antiquated, if the US government had any interest in having an intact territory, at some point it would need to get face to face with the people, and the presence of firearms in the citizenry acts as a check against this possibility, and an escape option for the citizens of it ever got there.
My reading-related startup recently did a study to assess the current status of the digital-versus-print debate. Even though our respondents were pretty tech savvy (they use our Chrome extension), the preference in favor of paper over screen was surprising. I did not expect it to be so much of a landslide, especially given how tech savvy the respondents were.

Not that I'm necessarily advocating this, but US intelligence has historically proven extremely adept at destabilizing regimes.

I'd imagine that mostly look like sowing internal discord within the CCP. The party already has a lot of corruption, so most likely many senior officials could be blackmailed and manipulated. The long-term goal would be to weaken the resolve and coherence of the CCP to the point that a non-violent democratic revolution could take place.

> But the Beijing government is not going to be overthrown from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is very small and very far away from Beijing.

Hong Kong can't much influence whether Tianjin is ruled from Beijing or not. But it can influence whether Hong Kong is ruled from Beijing! Being far away makes it hard for Hong Kong to reach Beijing, and it also makes it hard for Beijing to reach Hong Kong.
This is too simplistic a calculation. If Beijing shows that Hong Kong can write its own rules just by brandishing some weapons, then it's setting a precedent to lose every other major urban center.

For Beijing, the destruction of some parts of one urban may be exactly the price they're willing to pay to maintain their grip.
I don't think the solution is to your ailments is to reconnect on Facebook.

I think there's pressure to keep people in your lives that are not involved, partly to do with tradition and partly to do with the way social media now works.

Instead of browsing Facebook, why not make the time to actually see these people in real lives, call them on the phone, facetime them, write them a letter?

What I am trying to do for myself is invest in the meaningful relationships and eliminating personal social media has helped provide that focus for the people that I want in my life.

Why not?

If you're not looking for a new job it's a useless distraction. Emails aren't too bad, phone calls are more annoying.

>I'm also not sure I understand what you have in mind when you write "privilege".

Then try re-reading my comment with a less adversarial attitude, I think it's fairly transparent. You seem more interested in winning the argument than engaging in constructive discussion, but maybe it's just one of these situations where the text medium fails to convey enough nuance and context cues to judge a person's intentions.
Conscious or unconscious is really irrelevant.

There was a time that nobody would have considered education peasants. It was not a conscious bias.

I remember about 15 years ago, having a MySpace profile. I poked around for a while, but just didn't understand it, and eventually stopped using it. (All your friends are here, they said. The only one I could find was my idiot friend.) When Facebook/Twitter/et al. came around, I avoided them, and about 5 years ago, realized that I made the right call.
I'm not so sure. If it's something that impairs you, I think it's negative.

Insurgents win by undermining the legitimacy of the government, and moving into the vacuums that are created. You don't do that be attempting to fight force-on-force against overwhelming conventional power. You do it by targeting the mayors, governors, police chiefs, district attorneys, tax collectors, etc.....basically all of the key leadership of low-level government, and law enforcement. Without the support or at least tolerance of the population, ANY army will have exploitable vulnerabilities in essentially hostile territory.

Yeah, I have a hard time buying any of this. Moved to Canada ten years ago and from everything I've heard even from friends who have stayed back is life is overall worse in India, not better.
