Aren't those The Thing though? I was in the peripheral Nokia/Symbian world at the time, had been working on smartphones for a few years, and... the G1 was amazing. Straightforward SDK vs. the insane embedded toolchains prevalent at the time (remember: there was no iOS SDK at all yet!), hardware specs similar to the iPhone... I mean, this thing was a breath of fresh air.

Obviously things got better, and in hindsight the hardware keyboard and trackball were silly dead ends. But none of that seems to have been obvious at the time.

Now, it's true that in terms of market share the G1 itself didn't do very much: it wasn't until Samsung launched all the Galaxy S variants ~2 years later running Eclair that Android took off as a platform. But I don't see much of that as an indictment of the G1.
I use the same grip. I just tried several different grips using fewer fingers and I feel that they all impede pen movement because the fingers not on the pen are in the way. It just feels less versatile or something.
Cable TV started as a way for people in mountainous areas to get signal to their sets ... not as an ad-free alternative to broadcast TV. At the time, over-the-air networks were received by the cable TV companies and sent down the wires (coaxial cable), so the reality is that the subscribers were paying for free television when they couldn't receive the signal directly at their location.
Do you also find ticket scalping to be fine? If not, what's the difference with squatting?
That's irrelevant. Local control doesn't apply to a global, shared resource. And, that mismatched metaphor describes infringement on individual property rights because you can't have it both ways.

There can be only one internet namespace if it's to operate correctly, and it can't be controlled by corporations or greedy individuals who think they should get things other people had, and paid for, before them.

If you want a freedom, you must give everyone the same freedom, even if they misuse it. That's the definition of a free society. An unfree society digs into peoples lives and makes value judgements about them and tries to control them to their views.
out of curiosity, what's wrong with gdpr?

SSH access is a last resort, but it can be necessary in certain cases. For example, if our log forwarding breaks. SSH is also just one example, it can also be helpful to curl endpoints on the host directly without hitting the ELB/ALB.

The summary description matches the current correct code. So it could not possibly match any incorrect code (if it really existed).
Someone else has a personal page with my last name under .com. Squatter or not, I don’t get to use it. I don’t see how squatters make it any different.
Thanks for the links, Teleport seems especially interesting.

Yeah, we are required by contractual obligations to log these things or at least sudo commands. Don't disagree that it's less than useful but only so many things you can argue about. The logging we can do with auditd but we need unique instance users for that to be useful.
The Windows division has never really been part of the "New Microsoft", it seems from the outside.
Our last landfall was in Guam. The passengers who transited through Hong Kong embarked in Guam. They were admitted to the U.S. Technically, we are still in the U.S. So any U.S. travel ban is (or at least should be) irrelevant to our situation.
I think pretty much. If you have a PC that has ever have any form of activated windows on it in the past it should activate a windows 10 install. So this would prob only exclude people building on new hardware which are considered oem anyway.

There are many, many products that either run significantly better on windows (Office) or are completely unavailable on other OSs (many video games).

That's changing, for sure. But there's still a long tail of products that semi-necessitate windows.

Your statement is correct. I respect Peyton, but the fact is, he doesn't have a real PHd. It makes no sense to me why you're getting voted down. This is what get's me frustrated about people. People don't vote or support statements that are true, they only support statements that they like.

I'm guessing a lot of people won't like my comment even though it's probably true...
I have done the same switch recently and I react native has been a lot of fun to learn. Especially knowing native iOS and android it makes rn sooo powerful cuz you can expose whatever you want.
You go where consumers are. I mean there are plenty of businesses that don't have their own web page, but do have a facebook page. Not only is it free, but it is easier to set up. Plus you know that is where all your consumers spend all their time. So if I were a small podcast and knew I could reach the most audience on Spotify that is where I would be.
Anyone else cringe at the choice of words in the title? If you migrate and your pronunciation gradually mutates away from what you had originally, and if you then say that you lost what you had, you're invalidating the evolution you've gone through. Or, if the "americans lose their british accents" implies that [english accent = american accent + something you can lose], it's an American-centricity that treats the English accent as if it were something you put on to be a more convicing villain on TV.
Perhaps the grandparent was referring to doing all that, by default out of the box? Sounds like a nice compromise all around.
Independent blogs still exist, too. Just like actual podcasts (rss feed to podcast player) will still exist even if Spotify takes over. But I can tell you as somebody deeply involved in podcasting that we get requests to put our content on Spotify because that's the only app many people use for listening to things (whether music or whatever). We're talking about dedicated fans of our shows that took the time to let us know that they stopped listening because of the transition that took place unintentionally in their personal life to being Spotify-only.

This is exactly what happened when FB took over content distribution. People didn't necessarily like it, even as they adopted it because of the convenience.
I'm curious what the exact costs (financial and otherwise) are for these gains in medical R&D.

Canada's system likewise has pros and cons to it, and I believe once democracy and freedom is stabilized via adequate distribution of resources sharing the technological gains of this century, then society must first focus on analyzing, conversing about, our health systems in depth. The conversation for too long has been primarily held, lead, by industrial complexes and specialized professionals in funnels that are more indoctrinated, non-interdisciplinary, than is healthy.
Nobody said any of that, just told you to not accuse people of BS without proof.
"Again"? When did they stop?
You mean that hypocritical "MS loves Linux" stuff while their partners are digging the grave for FOSS like in Munich?
It's not just CIFS root that needs SMB1.

SMB1 has to be used any time you need the POSIX extensions, with Samba at the server side and Linux at the client side.

I find it comes up reasonably often, because Samba is so configurable. For example remapping user ids, or mapping user-group permission bits; these are hard or impossible to do in NFS, depending on available NFS server version.

I think the majority of podcasts (in numbers, not in the listener count) don't have any ads at all and are just produced by fans of some topic. Those podcasts will live forever (well, as long as hosting is paid for) as will personal blogs.

Podcasts that live off patreon and similar schemes will be fine as well.
Plus the latest versions of Edge are built on Chromium ... are they going to advertise against that too?
The protection on the front of the orbiter is quite a combination of old/new tech.

Solar Orbiter’s radiation-hardened instruments will be protected from the sweltering heat by a shield covered with doors that periodically open to allow the spacecraft’s instruments to image the sun. About half the size of an average parking space, the Solar Orbiter’s heat shield is a mix of modern and ancient technology. Its outermost layer is a strip of titanium just a fraction of a millimeter thick and coated on the sun-facing side with charred animal bone. This is the same stuff used by prehistoric humans to paint cave walls, but its properties also make it great for radiating heat away from a spacecraft.

The process for coating the Titanium heat shield with the black charred animal bone is developed by an Irish company, called Enbio: http://www.enbio.eu/thermal-control/
Don't they? Don't they push out new apps which get installed and pinned to the Mac dock after almost every other update without asking first? I could be mistaken, I don't use macs every day.
Class must have been important, considering that many early colonists in the mid-Atlantic and southern colonies were shipments of prisoners and indentured servants.

When you search for "Google" you get no results. That's kinda funny.
Cloud isn't just cloud.

Google's infrastructure is a cloud, the only thing a competitor needs is the software / services to replace Google. And a lot of them are already there, being recreated.

That's why they want in, because Google & co. could easily become the next television.. Its still there, but most people don't care about it any more because of a shift in technology and the way people use the internet.

Of course ticket scalping is fine, many venues go out of their way to enable it.

I’ve often benefited from the scalpers by being able to buy last minute tickets. Same goes for domain squatters.

You think squatting is bad? Ok. What if my low-effort personal website was “doctor.com” and someone emailed me an offer of $2M for it, should I be allowed to accept that?

I don’t think there’s a meaningful distinction to be made there.

Very interesting (and refreshing) counterpoint! Makes me think about Norway/Finland and whether something similar is going on here
It depends entirely on the patent and the allegations of infringement. Section 101 is something that can be invoked early in a case, so for a software patent that's usually something you want to do. The other two are generally invoked at trial, or possibly at summary judgment before trial (if the evidence is so strong that there is no reason to have a trial).

I brought up that point since I think most developers prefer the user experience of Lambda/Kubernetes where they don't have to manage individual instances in Auto Scaling Groups. They certainly are not 'outdated' for our use cases, and especially not for those responsible for running the underlying infrastructure (when running Kubernetes nodes).
AFAICT JSON user records are only about serializing data to disk and between systemd components, not to be used as configuration files.
There's no right answer here. Platforms (aka utilities in the real world) are wonderful sources of economic value but they are also natural monopolies. It appears that the promised land of monopoly profits are what drives capital to invest in building and improving platforms in the first place, so at what point do you impose the heavy hand of regulation to avoid abuse of monopoly power?
Uncap – Map Caps Lock to Escape (Windows, Linux, macOS)
Not that I'm excusing any of the developers or users of this Elector app...

I find it's sometimes an illuminating point of view, to see these sorts of egregious failures from the point of view that there is a range of possible outcomes of any effort, from complete entropic chaos to a perfect expression of the intent and specifications.

Efforts like these simply fail to approach the ideal closely enough to avoid the costs of the inherent chaos.

I don't think so much about trying to herd people toward the light of perfect code and process. I do think about ways to mitigate the cost of the chaos.

And then occasionally I get this vision of people who fail to consider the effects of breaches getting doxxed themselves, but that also seems vindictive, and as Tim Ferriss rightly pointed out just this week, can involve permanent damage to others.

We humans are a tough bunch to sort out.

I am not sure about these "facts". Why would quebec accent stay the same for centuries? Languages are unstable, especially their pronunciation. Consider also the extraordinary diversity of accents in uk. Did only one cross the Atlantic?
When was the last time you toured a junk yard? They're absolutely littered with Eagle Visions, Pontiac Grand Ams, Chevy Metros, and Saturn LS's; all kinda trash from the 80's and 90's - you know, those $5k Dave Ramsey specials that don't actually make financial sense to fix? I was being slightly hyperbolic, but Ramsey's way short-sighted when it comes to car maintenance/running costs of cars that cheap.

This is really slick! It's missing a few key features, like letting me modify some meta details of an object by clicking, or easily deleting an object. I'd also like a way to more easily create a polygon without zooming in really far to put the final point very close to the original point, instead of ending the drawing.

I use http://geojson.io quite frequently to modify geojson data sets, but there are some annoying bugs especially when working with larger data sets. One key feature they have is being able to swap between multiple tile providers, so you can compare where certain features are positioned on different maps.

I recently started a new Geo meetup here in Tokyo, https://GeoTokyo.com - I'll share at the next event.

Based on my strictly amateur readings of research in archaeology and historical anthropology, they’re more contentious than I expected. People who jump to unsupported conclusions draw public criticism. There are many papers along the lines of “paper x is wrong for reasons a, b, and c”.

It’s not math, so it’s not a clean procession of verifiable work, but their scientific method seems to be alive and well.

The public image maybe suffers from earlier (~1900) work, which really does read like “here are some evidence-light ideas that strike me, a philosopher gentleman, as quite plausible”.

It becomes a "tragedy of the commons" situation unless there is some regulation of this one shared namespace. Even the FCC has "use it or lose it" rules in place for the limited wireless spectrum.

I mean, isn't that what's happening with property in real life? The ones that can afford to do so keep buying it up, and renting it out, and perpetuating the cycle of inequity?
My situation is a bit different: switching from iOS to ML. One thing I could say is that iOS development is a fun experience. I did it for the past 5-6 years of my career and was self-taught. I learned both Objective-C and Swift during my time in that world. Doing iOS development has taught me a lot UI/UX, amongst other things.

Recently, I switch to a role in ML and its been a change in my workflow so far - which is something I expected, but fun nonetheless. I don't get to do UI/UX in the visual sense but now I have to care about design of ML models and deployment so that other front-end clients can use them.

I would say give iOS development a go ahead because you want to!

support is an obvious reason. with the exception of some dev tools and mac-only creative software, pretty much everything supports windows.

I can go out and buy any high end laptop and be confident it will work well with windows. similarly, if I want to throw some random hardware in my desktop, I don't have to worry about whether drivers exist for my os. all this stuff requires an additional research step with linux.

in short, if you're a power user (and especially if you like choosing your own hardware) and you want your os to "just work", windows is the best of few options.

Oh, I didn't know the English term. In my country we literally say what it would mean "Catholic social doctrine" instead.
It's true. Blockchains can't really be seen as a tool helping existing businesses and their problems. It's like saying "emergent economies in Africa solve my business' problems".

Businesses don't control blockchains. They're more of a low level platform on top of which new types of businesses can grow.
How is this different than getting an ad for Chrome when you go to google.com?
I think the article just sited an anecdotal example from one user who had Firefox installed. Maybe others with Chrome see Chrome instead? Or maybe ms is trying to play nice with Google to make edge chromium development easier.
The fact that they can pay for it doesn't mean they're entitled to it as a logical matter.

I'm not saying a fix is or isn't needed, but there are all kinds of things we restrict despite ability to pay. For example, you can't buy a social security number without a person or a physical address without physical land to tie it to.

Your comment doesn't prove your conclusion.
Healthcare is paid by the province. Take 42% of the province taxes only. Maybe $190. Most of the tax paid is federal. That means more of the $2000 goes to the military.

Still think it's a good idea? A lot of health related causes could use the remaining 2000.

And my 2000 figure is the difference you pay when making an extra 10,000 at the 100,000 level.
Or you could just use a window manager that doesn’t change? I’ve had the same desktop env for over a decade and nothing has changed at all. In contrast with windows and osx where we literally cannot opt out.
I learned how to write in Kurrent a year ago or so. I'm not quite up to speed with it, but it looks nice, and I think it has the potential to be faster than British/American cursive styles.
Microsoft didn't buy Github out of the goodness of their heart. They also didn't buy it because of it's significant revenue, a couple hundred million is probably a marketing budget to Microsoft, not something that drives the bottom line. Microsoft also didn't buy it to score appearance points with the socially conscious dev community that populated most of Github, although it was a nice PR story for a bit. You could say the ICE thing has driven all that goodwill away.

Microsoft bought Github for the data set. To mine code to train models to write code to put developers out of business. Microsoft is coming for all of your jobs. They aren't investing billions in AI research and Open AI for philanthropy. The sooner people realize this the better.

Sure it's tin-foil, but it's a hill I am willing to die on.
Short answer: yes.

But then again, a podcast needs a RSS feed. Not worth calling it a podcast otherwise.
Still using Windows? Still using Office (360)? Still using GitHub?

These aren't maybe exactly ripe for disruption, but since all of them have existed for ages now almost without any game-changing innovation these questions are very valid as well.
You come across as possibly stuck in a scarcity and/or entitlement mindset too. There are effectively an unlimited supply of domains, and you're perfectly free to pick another one. If you want the right to register as many unregistered domains as you wish, bid on registered ones and generally live in a free society, you must accept that there are some unpreventable problems that come with it: like suicidal idiots with knifes, jerks who cut you off in traffic and "domain squatters." Aren't there bigger things to worry about, rather than worrying about what other people are doing with their property? It's not yours, after all, just because you covet it like Golum.
