I repurposed my old Intel Atom powered netbook to be an Emacs server. Until recently, it sat in a corner and would have a half dozen emacs session running screen. Every time I want to resume work on given project from any desktop or laptop in my office or when I'm travelling. I simply open a remote X11 emacs window on the machine, and viola! my entire development sesion is available to me exactly where I left off. Tools used: Emacs, X11 (for windows, mac, and Linux) Emacs tramp, and ssh, putty, and screen. For access from outside my network OpenVPN and Viscosity VPN client on Mac and Windows. Last week I replaced the atom machine with an Raspberry Pi 2.
Sure, but let's not scope creep the conversation. This is in the context of talking about summary stats calculated against sets of discrete observations, not properties of abstract probability distributions. So we're talking about doing some basic arithmetic on a list of numbers, not taking integrals.
Sure, and that's why I wrote 'along with a bunch of other stuff'.

Writing something like 'MacOS is based on FreeBSD' implies a situation more like Sony's OrbisOS, which isn't the case with MacOS.
If only post offices were used they'd become a huge bottleneck in many cities due to queuing and also packages get delivered by many other private companies. So lockers (Amazon locker, DHL locker) or designated drop off locations that can be a regular store or kiosk also pick up the slack.

The issue is that India is right next door and if it goes there, that's another 1.4 billion to worry about.
Disclaimer - I'm a bit of a fanboi of the podcast.

With that being said, until there's further context into the research published by Carol and that of Bret or if Carol comes on to speak explain her side it'll be difficult to ascertain this version of events.

However, just from reviewing the podcast version (prior to Carol defending her position) it seems rather grim for Carol atm.

On the contrary, Apple is the only one who has this market figured out.

Ever see anyone at a coffee shop using a Surface Pro in tablet mode? I haven’t. That’s because the second you sit down to complete tasks for more than a minute or two you’ll want a keyboard at least if not a mouse, too.

In my view that eliminates productivity as a legitimate use for a tablet. There’s no way I’d prefer touching my screen to the kind of keyboard and trackpad you get on a MacBook Pro.

Next up, content consumption. As you mentioned, your phone covers this use case. I watch videos on the bus nearly every day and never desired a tablet. If you need that bigger screen, you’ve either already got a computer because you do productive work, or you buy a cheap tablet because you don’t need all the extra stuff a computer has, or you’ve got a bigger phone. Why would I watch content on a tablet when my laptop or TV can do that? A tablet doesn’t even stand itself up on my lap. I think only kids tolerate consuming content this way.

Finally, there’s the creative market. Apple has this nailed down with the iPad Pro. The only other reason to need a tablet over a phone or laptop is to do digital art. These are probably the only folks who need to buy two devices, but they’ve needed to buy expensive computer peripherals for ages.

So I think what you’re asking for is for someone to find the really tiny market who wants their tablet to do full computer stuff but doesn’t prefer a proper laptop computer, and then make special software modifications just for them like Microsoft did.
And that's presuming that the entities that held the original license still exist today. It's a morass that can be nearly impossible to dig your way out of after 10+ years.
This is a big reason why piracy exists even when something is available through official means.

Those offering a paid services should always ensure there is a benefit and convenience compared to piracy. Valve and Steam wouldn't be here if it was clumsy like in the beginning. Gamers like that getting a game is just a click away, that it installs and checks all the required dependencies, keeps the game file updated, allows you to preload and keep your game saves in the cloud (when possible).
Probably because that wouldn't be straightforward. You'll have every situation from missing licences, licences for old companies that don't exist anymore but whose IP has been absorbed by a patent troll, companies who refuse to be negotiated with, companies who will take the opportunity to file suit to repay the incalculable harm to their bottom line (despite not knowing their software was in Windows for 20+ years), companies who would be up for negotiation but don't have the momentum or enough of a grip to see negotiations through without collapsing or trailing off.

And this is if Microsoft DID want to open source it, which if they were giving in to a demand from FSF, or trying to do it as part of a goodwill "Microsoft <3 Linux" initiative then you will quickly find that the costs far outweight the benefits.
You answered your own question, reshuffling your post:

"I.. have made enough money on .. own .. so I aren't stupid"
Your description sounds very much like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitation_of_labour :

> Marx's exploitation theory is one of the major elements analyzed in Marxian economics and some social theorists consider it to be a cornerstone in Marxist thought. ...

> Exploiters appropriate another's surplus labour, which is the amount of labour exceeding what is necessary for the reproduction of a worker's labour power and basic living conditions. ...

> Once capitalists are able to pay the worker less than the value produced by their labour, surplus labour forms and this results in the capitalists' profits. This is what Marx meant by "surplus value", which he saw as "an exact expression for the degree of exploitation of labor-power by capital, or of the laborer by the capitalist".[9] This profit is used to pay for overhead and personal consumption by the capitalist, but was most importantly used to accelerate growth and thus promote a greater system of exploitation.

When I read your original comment I was reminded of the presentations of the Marxian economist Richard D. Wolff, eg, from https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/understanding-marxism-u... :

> The heart of Wolff’s argument centers on what Marx called “surplus labor,” which is what employers appropriate above what they pay for wages. After further deducting raw materials, machinery and the like used in the production process, what’s left is the employer’s profit.

> Wolff maintains that the fact that productive workers are not compensated for the full amount and worth of their labor constitutes “exploitation.”

I think it's understandable why I saw them as being similar.

Is the main difference between you and Marxian thought that you don't consider the difference to be "exploitation"?

You wrote: "It is clearly impossible for an employee to be making more than they bring money into the business. Otherwise the business wouldn't exist."

The Wikipedia page gives some criticisms to that Marixan view, which also hold for your statement: "They suggest that Marx should have allowed for two things; namely, permit a fair profit on the risk of capital investment and allow for the efforts of management be paid their due. "

Commercial customers expect a stable version to use eventually. They also are interested in some of the new features that come with version next and so will update once in a while.

Well, as far as the iPad, people complaining about the “wall garden” and the 30% cut doesn’t affect people who are actually buying the product or developers making billions from the App Store.

Also, if either were keeping developers from innovating, you should see a lot of successful, popular apps outside of Google Play.

The fact is, that 80% of phones out there can escape a walled garden and the 30% cut, but still anyone interested in getting visibility or making money chooses to be on Google Play.

How many people whining about the 30% cut on HN actually have a successful product that would be more successful if it weren’t for Apple’s fee?

All of that. Additionally, Royal Mail stuff goes to the local sorting office which for most people is pretty close by. Services like "Click and Collect" let you deliver your parcels to local shops. Amazon don't want to support that because it's a cost they cannot control.

It is true that the local depot for other parcel service (DPD etc) can be quite far away, but those services usually offer a a number of repeat delivery attempts or an option to leave with a neighbour.

The number of working adults in a household is irrelevant to delivering parcels securely.
enterprise class SSDs, our system runs 480 370g and we have had drives flagged within two years. granted we have a heavy processing model but we have never loaded the system beyond 60% so far (it is 90tb mirrored protection). I used to think we would never see a failure compared to other systems we have spinning 15k drives on but alas that is not true.

as to the failure rates being similar, too early to tell, but to be up front the sheer performance gain even compared to heavily cached systems is amazing.
Where’s the logic in your statement? Say I’m an open source developer writing a Qt app. I have less time to wrangle with updates and api breakage than a company with full-time Qt developers working on their products.
I hate how utterly undiscoverable stuff like this is. I use the force touch trackpad on my iPhone constantly and always wished it existed on the iPad.
There is a clear use case for the iPad, it just depends on if that use case justifies the price for an additional device.

The iPad is the best portable device for reading (besides a kindle), watching entertainment, or using an Apple Pencil.

Just because you don't have a use case for it, doesn't mean no one does.

Ummm... except for all of the proprietary and valuable IP that is anyway shared by subsequent versions of Windows? It's not like they scrapped every bit of code when they started working on Win8, Win10 etc. Some bits of the control panel are pretty much unchanged since Windows NT!
Windows 95 is a kludge by today's standards and it's been the little brother of the more complete Win32 implementation in the NT line. As a result, it is missing a ton of things that are essential parts of modern Windows. I don't see any value in that.

On #2, I've been really impressed with using ChromeOS's 'Linux Shell' I actually went out and bought a Chromebook Pixel LS and have been able to easily replace my work MacBook with it, love the 3:2 display and bits of the cleverness. Lenovo has a new tablet hybrid that might meet your needs. The Android App keyboard support sucks but the Linux stuff works great and for just content browsing and web work, Chrome OS comes pretty close to iPadOS or a Mac, it's very much a two headed monster of sorts.

The problem with competing with the iPad is just how hilariously advanced Apple is in the category of basic use. It's shocking really just how good the technical engineering side of their work is. The iPad Pro honest to goodness runs at 120 FPS with a less than 10ms pencil input response rate in a 6mm package with Core i7 Level CPU performance at ~$650. Microsoft can't currently match those numbers in a Windows based product, Google couldn't come close with the pixel Slate. Apple's $330 product outperforms the average laptop so doing something competitive in open source levels for under $200 is hard as heck to impossible just for things like 'open an app' and the bar is so high due to phones, people expect touch to compete with a $1000 phone (and rightfully so, they are great!).
I think it would be more productive to do that and release the source for other out of date platforms like GW-BASIC and MS COBOL.

What's sad about this, is that iPad Pro has more than enough computational power to replace a laptop for almost all the tasks people use laptops for. Just using wireless peripherals or a dock should make the iPad Pro work for serious tasks just fine.

But as daringfireball explains, the problem is with the poorly thought out UI choices. It feels almost like the iPad is deliberately hobbled in many ways, but I think it's just poor management.

> then the app should be either lied to by the OS or banned by the platform provider

The problem with it is that at least one of the big the platform providers is in a conflict of interest, given how they engage in the exact same practices as a business model. Google cannot hit at anyone for any practice they also use without shooting themselves in the foot. So the status quo is maintained with everyone being allowed to take a swing at vacuuming as much personal user data as humanly possible without ever informing the user or getting proper (informed) consent.

I am actually kind of annoyed they removed the force touch on newer iphones. I used it so often on my keyboard.

The tradeoff was a 4-hour longer battery so there was probably more gained than lost there but the usable area to move the cursor shrunk considerably (to a long touch on the spacebar only) and makes it harder to use.
Journals and papers should be obsolete. New results should be entered into an AI system containing the existing body of knowledge on the subject and which can rapidly evaluate whether the new result is consistent with, contradicts or extends existing knowledge. It would also evaluate plausibility, reproduceability, methods and materials, plagiarism, etc.

Be careful with piracy in the US:

It’s not enforced by police but if you’re doing science or engineering then the biggest employer in your field might be the government (DoD etc.) It’s not all that rare for people to get denied security clearances because of excessive piracy and that would make it way harder for you to be employed.

This is a huge part of the problem with having laws on the books that just aren’t always enforced.
Okay, it's a step in the right direction, but how did this actually affect the people who made the decision? As far as I can tell, none of them were personally fined, and none of them went to jail.

Keep in mind that if some nut with a gun murdered the same number of people, he'd be in jail for the rest of his life, which might end with a lethal injection, and people would be calling for gun regulation to keep guns from getting into the hands of nuts. But because this was done with a pen instead of a gun, we're incentivizing shareholders to not invest in execs like this and hoping shareholders can figure out how to identify sociopaths in advance in the future?

> What about open sourcing, say, windows 95? That seems more achievable, and probably more helpful.

The Windows NT4 source code leaked a while ago and can be found all over the internet. Of course that doesn't really help ReactOS because they officially can't use it, but that's probably the closest we will get to MS open sourcing Windows.
Yep, for all the pride they take in the "it just works" and their "simpler" UI, they certainly love to hide useful features and just not tell you about them upfront.

Yeah, you can read and play around with the phone to learn but something simple like cursor and text adjustment should be priority no. 1 in terms of alerting the user that a function actually exists.
To state the obvious: Windows 7 is the predecessor of Windows 10.

So open-sourcing Windows 7 is effectively open-sourcing Windows 10. I'd be very surprised if Windows 10 had no code from Windows 7. I'd also be surprised if Microsoft actually owns all the code/assets in Windows. Licensing is a thing.

Open-sourcing Windows 10 as a "current" product is requesting the source to everything Windows. That is a big ask. It would have to fit into a core strategic change for Microsoft.

Microsoft has likely got plans of its own to embrace and absorb Linux. Why should I as a Big Corporate with full licenses be forced to maintain separate Linux machines? Why can't Enterprise natively run Linux binaries? WSL is part of the answer to those questions but I'm fairly sure Microsoft has bigger plans. Who says they won't simply pivot and make Windows run on their own flavor of Linux or a defined distribution? Sounds crazy but... stranger things have happened and licensing is a real money maker. The ability to lock people to Windows is still very lucrative however. For the foreseeable future they are much more likely to run Linux on Windows and keep their existing control.

I seriously doubt Windows 7 will be open-sourced while Windows 10 remains closed-source.
