There not much relying involved. It's not like Android, which is considerably less useful without the Googley bits. It's just a regular Linux desktop with Chrome pre-installed.

Even if Google would kill all of Chrome in its entirety you could still run other software on it. You would lose secure boot but that's about it. It's more like a PC than an embedded system.
I just found it curious that they would officially support the 11" and not the 13"
I have enterprise windows on a domain joined machine and literally gigabytes of data are devoted to shadow versions of games. Does anyone have a solution for this? Why is this happening on Enterprise?

Windows has been a compliance nightmare with a small team.

Edit: I can't delete these to be clear, even with a local admin and domain admin account. I saw some solutions online but I need something I can have an admin create a script and/or gpo for.

Yeah, I definitely said that. Continue being mad at me and America.

Is that still a controversial standpoint in the US? Whenever threads about taxes in the US reach the HN front page, you get an overwhelming amount of comments from surprised posters outside of the US who can't imagine having to fill in everything themselves (me, a Dutchman who spends at most five minutes on his taxes every year, included), in addition to Americans who wish it were so in the US. No one really defends the current situation on HN.
Are there many US citizens hanging about in Iraq without a good reason and their own security details now?!
Yes and all light casts shadows IR included. Take a look at any video of a plane casting a shadow onto clouds. eg. https://youtu.be/Vr_kYmUaykw?t=7

Notice the similarities? The halo and the matching of the recording planes movements which are explicitly mentioned in this.

Google+ got way, way more investment than ChromeOS and was considered a top priority at the C-level. Still killed.

I have to admit that leaving Power out of the analysis is a bit odd; the Berkeley crew can be rather parochial. I wrote PowerPC assembly back when the Mac used that ISA and liked it. Alpha lives on, to a degree, in the Sunway Chinese supercomputers. Intel should have gone with Alpha rather than Itanium.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunway_(processor)

Is there an architectural feature in Power you think should have been considered by RISC-V for inclusion or omission?

My 2030 prediction is that Intel will have a simpler x86 where they discard a shit ton of legacy.
Look Kant...
Simple: MicroCenter left California. It’s extremely difficult to do business here and be profitable with the tight margins involved in computer retail. California is booting them out and spoon feeding non B&M retailers like Amazon.

Well, I suspected it, since my experience in Europe, but it's not like I lived in more than a few countries here, so I was curious. I have to admit it does rile me up a bit when people generalize the US as "the West" :)

I do wonder why that hasn't seem to have crossed the pond significantly.

Their considering me a thief by default has provoked me to spend elsewhere.
The poor buggers manning the front door never gave me any grief for blowing them off, but the unanswerable managerial thought that put them there in the first place makes it a no brainier to shop elsewhere.

I can't find it now but there was a presentation by a Googler on the things they had to do to be reliable at their scale that included a bullet list of ~10 things. I remember going down that list and thinking, "Yeah, that's what life does." for most of them. FWIW. (I'll try to find the list and post a link if so.)
CVS doesn't care if you buy Tylenol or Advil or which one works better, and makes no additional money depending on your choice of product. In fact, the brands pay CVS for the privilege of being featured on an eye-level shelf vs at the bottom.

I think it was a great article. Like it said: To succeed, an offering must create value for all entities involved in the exchange—target customers, the company, and its collaborators. And value is literally measured in dollars, so you're either saving or making money for someone, otherwise it's just a fun project.
So how can we say we expect near-immediate responses when waiting days for basic checkups is normal?
Leading up to the New Year's, I was watching the CNN history documentary on Netflix. It was the one executive produced by Tom Hanks, and covers the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. I went backwards and have just finished the 80s.

I know the history of computing technology pretty well... but it was striking to see it laid out like that, in the context of changes with art, culture, domestic and international politics.

Retrospecting on that, in the heyday when Moore's Law was so visible, before the PC revolution gave birth to the Internet revolution, new computing devices were changing so fast. You could go into a store a month later and see a lot of things that are new. I remember the Columbus OH Microcenter. There was a tiny used computer store nearby. Both were packed. That business worked because there was so much turnover.

You don't really see that nowadays. The most exciting thing that come out tbese days is the Threadripper, but for most consumers, it isn't necessary anymore.

Most of the rapid changes are taking place where people can't really see it anymore (unless you are an insider) -- in the cloud, with AI.

Even though changes are still happening rapidly, I think the _visible_ changes have petered out for the consumer.

What I am saying is that, even if Fry's were able to compete on price with internet retailers, something more fundamental has shifted.

Now maybe I am just saying this from the perspective of the US. I hear that in China, the development and competitiveness of smartphones is a lot greater there than in the US. Apple has a difficult time competing in China because there are many stylish, hot smartphones within that domestic market. If so, then perhaps it isn't that changes are no longer being visible ... but that the US is no longer the focal point of consumer product innovation that it one was.

If IPv6 disallows simpy zeroing the field, that sounds like it's not just a nuisance.

I don't know what you're saying here. UDP's ports model isn't optional in any sense, it's just like TCP's.

If you run several UDP-based services on your server, port numbers are how the server knows which packets are destined for which processes.

You will be facing same financial dilemmas with public healthcare. But it may be more transparent.
That kind of attitude will put people off guard though. These things pop up in places where you least expect them. I agree it's less important than other places, but also would be nice for us to practice what we preach.
It's a variation of the "checklist explanation of why your proposal is a failure" that was in vogue back in the day, and is less often seen these days. I first saw it in the 90s.

It's a joke. You don't "use" it except to diss a language you don't like.
To be fair, alien horror movies are usually less than half-way thought out. A short story that presents an idea, with just enough going on otherwise to support it? Makes sense to me that one would not change your mind and the other would.
This was the hard drive section at my local fry's a couple of weeks ago: https://imgur.com/a/fptZufK

At this point it's probably a better business move to close the store till they're able to stock shelves. No one walks into that store and thinks "oh, this is somewhere I should come back to for my tech needs in the future".
I'm not sure what the numbers show, but I think, as people who are interested in tech, we often forget a large segment of the population needs some in-person assistance when choosing new devices. My dad asks me every time he needs a new laptop, TV, or whatever. He has no interest in doing the research himself.

Anecdotally, my local Best Buy is always packed. I do a good amount of shopping online, but I also like to get certain things in person when possible. To me, it's much more satisfying to buy something and be able to use it on the same day.
You can make your domain effectively an eTLD by putting it on the Public Suffix List. This is what Google did with withgoogle.com . This means no cookies can be set on withgoogle.com . So hire.withgoogle.com is completely isolated from games.withgoogle.com (they are separate eTLD+1s).

It definitely works way better than you would think. It seems like after most people drive one a little bit they are convinced. (I was.)
The prices in these flagship Akihabara stores are much higher than you'd see online though (20%). You can either search the side alleys there looking for a good deal, or try to negotiate with the salespeople on the floor there. Here in the US, at Fry's and Best Buy I've seen, they'll match Amazon's price without having to do any deal-making.
Frys' component selection used to be good. But nowadays it feels like a throwback to the 90s -- they still carry a ton of parts for repairing CRT TVs [1], yet they don't have a single microcontroller or flash chip in the entire aisle, and their prices for basic logic chips like [2] are ridiculous.

Monetizing data is not an evil thing in and of itself. People are so quick to outrage at anything these days.
While I personally agree with you, I know that some people really hate 'everything is an expression', especially when assignment is treated as an expression. This has been a very controversial addition to Python 3 for example.

I would also mention that support for higher order functions, in the sense of functions which take other functions as arguments, is eevn possible in C. I think a much more important feature that is only recently becoming mainstream is support for lambdas. Support for HoF without lambdas is relatively worthless in my opinion.
I genuinely do not understand why cheating in video games is not taken more seriously. If you go and disrupt 200 paying customers at a movie, you'll be kicked out and everyone will get refunded if your behavior is bad enough.

But if you cheat in a video game and ruin the experience for potentially millions of paying customers? You might, MAYBE, get banned in a few months as part of a ban wave, but not after making thousands of dollars.
I didn't even know they had Macs...
Take "fully loaded nachos" as an example. After a few hours, the chips are really soggy and gross. And a good steak, rare to rare++ (or even medium rare) is delicious when it first hits your plate. But once it cools down, and you reheat it at home it is completely different (you end up not getting it warm enough, or it gets overcooked).

I have the same issue when using home-cooked food as leftovers for lunch the next day. Cube steaks are rarely good warmed over (they dry out), rice ends up losing its stickiness (so it is a wet mess, or dried out crumbs). About the only thing that I can use for lunch the next day is some pasta based dishes, pizza (depending -- again, deep dish goes gross after a few hours), and manwich or tacos is good the next day (gotta keep the meat separated from everything else so it is easier to warm up in the microwave).
As many have already pointed out, the answer to Fry's in 2020 is Microcenter.

I'm fortunate to live 15 minutes away from the only Microcenter in California, which has really picked up business over the last year. Every Fry's in our area is in thes same sad condition (the Fountain Valley and Anaheim Hills Fry's are both ghost towns.)

The folks who work at our nearby Microcenter are all enthusiasts, and the store has a similar vibe to the golden-era of Fry's stores in Silicon Valley (this is despite CA's Microcenter being in Orange County, about 400 miles south of Silicon Valley and the broader Bay Area.)

One thing I noticed even a decade ago is that Microcenter did a much better job catering to high end computer builds than Frys, which over the last decade felt like it had too much breadth of product at the expense of useful depth in any one area. For instance, Microcenters have long had full isles dedicated to water cooling. Back before AIOs, you'd be able to find parts you'd only otherwise get at online specialty stores -- Newegg didn't even cary them. (Today, the selection is smaller but that is mostly due to the proliferation of AIOs.)
> Is it so bad to make guns as hard to own as a car?

The ONLY people that say this are the ones that would be (fucking) horrified if we treated guns like cars.

Ok. You are proposing I should be able to buy any gun I want whenever I want regardless of size or capacity, automatic, or loud or silenced for cash without any checks or regulations at all? That the only requirement to use it in public is that I need a license - BUT - that carry license is good in all 50 states?

... that sounds good to me! Let’s do it.

Yours is an argument based entirely in ignorance of gun laws. And maybe car laws too.
But many, many others were, or did "okay" but got nowhere near 15% growth. What makes you think you invested in one of the better ones?

Another theory I have heard is it's like bouy in the ocean. It sits still relative to the galactic motion of the stars and observes stars whose paths it drifts into. The theory is backed up a little by the fact that it is relatively still with respect to the universe at large.

What I can't understand about our taxes is why we have to report income if they know what it is already. They should send us that information and let us complete the form for our deductions.
The problem with c++ is many libraries are mostly header files, and they are combined with your code basically by cut+paste, so you can't rewlly seperwte libraries from your own code usefully.

A few things though.

1)Most cities suck at biking infrastructure, including Europe if you exclude the poster childs like Amsterdam or Copenhagen.

2)It's not wearing a helmet that reduces cycling throughout the population it's the lack of infrastructure. Helmet necessity is a direct effect of that not the cause.

3)You can't make helmets a requirement, it's up to you if you can live(pun not intended) with the consequences of an accident without a helmet or not.

Actually, eating us makes significantly more sense. Any alien civilization with the capability to travel interstellar distances is unlikely to have any particular need of our terrestrial resources (including labor) when there's plenty of raw material orbiting any given star including our own that's much less trouble to get at.

However one can envision "alien meat", having required light-years of travel (and corresponding years of time) to acquire, as a status-signaling delicacy. Hell, it might even be technically illegal, which is why it's so small scale.
I just visited Yodobashi in Akihabara and was impressed with the energy and selection, but the prices were awful: At least 50% higher than US prices for many things. Some of this might be due to the yen/dollar exchange rate but I didn't notice particularly high prices on other products in Japan--just stuff at Yodobashi.

Hey! So this tool is something that I've wanted to build for a while now and it was a good opportunity to improve my Rust skills. It's inspired by a few other tools such as just [1] and maid [2]. The readme's faq section has some more background on why I wanted to build this.

To summarize mask, it's a cli tool that looks for a maskfile.md in the current directory and parses it for commands. A maskfile.md is both a human-readable document and a simple command definition format. Tasks can be defined in sh, bash, zsh, fish, js, python, php, and ruby.

Though it's not at v1.0 yet, I've been using it daily in personal projects and also as a global system utility for handy commands and automation tasks.

Happy to answer any questions!

If Chrome OS is dead, we switch to regular Linux|MacOS|Windows laptop running Chrome. It is more annoying and less secure, but all the software still runs.

> The US is the back-bone of the medical system for the rest of the world and also has the best medical schools and best quality hospitals (the majority of people with money come to the US for life-saving surgeries..this has to tell you something).

This just means American consumers end up subsidizing health care R&D costs for the rest of the globe — purely because our government prevents us from collectively bargaining the way pretty much every other country does.

The people coming to the US for the “best quality” are generally going to doctors / surgeons in private practice, most of whom do not take insurance and can see you immediately. There is an almost entirely separate (and much higher quality) medical system available to those who can afford it. The system the rest of us belong to ranks right behind Morocco and Costa Rica in terms of outcomes (not joking — this is according to the WHO). We come in dead last among “first world” countries.
This is why i think a OS like Chrome is designed exactly to be this sort of trap. A cloud computing trap, where we are perfectly ok with alienating our digital life/data to third-parties without understanding the depth of the problem we are getting into.

The ones who control our digital properties, can control the world (information is power, remember?). They might not, but they can, and also can aid third parties with shady intentions (see all the Facebook fiasco). By the way, we should have learned this lesson already.

Also, people often forget how groundbreaking was to have a compiler (GCC) directly embedded with the OS because you could mess with the source and compile it yourself. Its very liberating to have a platform where you can code and modify it.

So i think a future where the likes of Chrome OS took over the world, is pretty scary as we ended turning our powerful and liberating computers into a sort of "interactive TV".

As i understand it, they will try to make it very easy for us to buy into this platform utopia, the problem is, in my point of view, that in the long term this will lead to some sort of digital feudalism. Lets not forget we are "digitalizing" our lives day-by-day, til the day there are very few useful things we do in the physical world.

So in the future if Google for instance want to ban your account, this could have severe problems, as a side-effect of your digital ostracism. (access to capital, bank, employment, etc..)
God and aliens have a lot in common. People usually interpret the "beings" you "meet" on DMT as one or the other. Almost as if they're two sides of one coin: our mind's tendency to gravitate toward an anthropomorphic explanation for unexplained phenomena and stimuli.
My retail days....we sold Macs at Sears (low end crap like Performas), and we sold them at Best Buy back in 1998 or whenever it was the original iMac came out.

But nobody wanted them. We got 25 at our store and almost every one of them came back. People wanted PC's....
