The title is just plain wrong. Sensational and wrong. Someone took a Win10 ISO and modified it to redistribute.

It is piracy that Microsoft has a problem with, not disabling features.
I have conflicting feelings about linkedin. It suffers greatly from all the things that SV success's suffer from: feature bloat, the need to be all things and above all; trying to steal and keep your attention.

If you kill off 90% of notifications, the inane "feed" and some of the duplicitous behaviour in trying to pilfer your contacts list then you end up with a solid platform for recruiters and professionals.

I have recommendations from people on my linkedin page that has much more merit than if I included such a thing on my CV.

I have people who endorsed me for skills, which when presented well can mean that people are vouching that I have at least some area of knowledge there.

This means that overall linkedin is a more standardised, searchable and credible source for my working history than my CV is.

So I think that if you treat linkedin simply as a 'live CV' then it has a lot of value, even if you do get some recruiter spam sometimes.
Contributing to open source and meeting and talking to engineers and building things is a lot more fun and rewarding.

I personally get no enjoyment out of development besides it being a way to support my addiction to food and shelter. I don’t dislike development, but it is just a job.

When I am actively looking, it’s so much easier to send messages to local recruiters with my resume and wait for them to call me (pre-Covid they always did).
How does something like this get to the front page? Someone provides a cracked copy of Windows and calls it "Ninjitsu OS" and then cries foul when it's taken down because of course it was.

Is there that much of an anti-Microsoft sentiment that people upvote something like this uncritically?
Something you got to give to LinkedIn is at least that this is the default behavior (as far as I know, I haven't changed any notification setting since I got it)
It's great for someone that just want to have a "easy CV" so that recruiters at least know where/what you've worked with without back&forth mailing.

Recently I tried to get Twitter for the first time and my gosh what a mess that platform is. I only wanted it to follow some researcher to get up-to-date research topic but the damn app just have to fill the feed with "retweet" and other tweet I didn't even ask for (and I can't turn this off!)
Why Product Managers need to be better at storytelling
Did you even read the article? Someone took ISO and modified it for re-distribution which is piracy. It has absolutely nothing to do with disabling features on your own Win10 installation.
The goal here is to generate a typed API across a bunch of microservices (written in some typed language suited for the job) that are consumed by a Python frontend. The current design is a pile of vertically-integrated monoliths that touch the disk, database, perform backend operations and rendering all in one process.

Python's single-threaded design makes it difficult to be responsive to small queries quickly while simultaneously serving large, time-consuming queries (i.e. git operations). You can get around this using worker queues to separate interpreter processes and an async design, or otherwise splitting your workload up... or you can use a language where "have a threadpool" is actually a properly supported concept, and an architecture where sharding git/email/etc backends is feasible.
>Hydrogen can be stored underground in the form of salt caverns or domes.

And is it? On a grid-scale? And if not, why not? Is it because there are major technical hurdles that need to be overcome, and it's a completely unproven approach?

This is what happens with these renewable discussions. Proponents will just throw out theories as facts and non-existent technologies as ready for prime time and gloss over intrinsic technical hurdles ... meanwhile in the real world, even though there is desperation to move from fossil fuels, somehow those ideas aren't implemented. Why is Germany building NEW natural gas pipelines, instead of building hydrogen storage? The Syrian conflict is partially exacerbated by geopolitical jockeying between Russia and Turkey and others for the right to build future pipelines into Europe. What do they all know that we don't know?
Those credentials sitting in ~/.aws/credentials should also expire after 12 hours. There are plenty of tools out there to automate this process so you just log in with Okta or similar tool in your CLI and your done (bonus they also make switching between accounts a lot easier).

There is absolutely no reason with the tools that we have available that we should be creating long living AWS keys. It's a major security risk if those keys ever got out.
Oh wow, I have a six blade Emerson that works except for the oscillator[0]. Absolutely quiet in operation and moves a lot of air. Very heavy and based on the wire guard not super safe around many children, well at least not the ones who want to see what it will chop.

In my case I chose it for the blade count and the old ship propeller vibe. There is a shop here in Georgia which does do repair work on fans and I hope to get this one up there one day.[1]

You can find a good number of fans, restored and otherwise, on ebay. As with with any ebay suggestion it is best to build up a history to understand pricing.

Can't help but remark that "7-year-old child" is not a valid go rank. Some 7 year olds are surprisingly good at playing go :)
I just ran thorough the process of looking at jobs as a potential candidate. What a breath of fresh air compared to the obscured roles that recruiters post.

Great job.

How I Turned a Research Project into a Company (Part One)
I used to get a lot of recruiter spam so I locked down my profile.

I opened it up a bit because I'm looking for a job. It's still spammy, but the pandemic has really slowed things down.

IMO: LinkedIn is bad at managing spam.
So why is Germany building NEW pipelines from Russia to import their natural gas? It sounds like there's no point in investing in natural gas when you could spend those same billions just building hydrogen storage. What are they missing?
I hate LinkedIn, majority of the articles are rubbish most of the job offers you get are not related to your skills but I still feel it's valuable to have when I want to look for a new job or just to keep in contact with people I have worked with in the past.

My inbox is full of boring templated messages

"Hi XXX,
#I noticed you work as XXX @XXXand it is why I send invitation to your LinkedIn.
Looking forward to connect with you for open discussion about logging, monitoring, troubleshooting and cloud SIEM. #stayletsconnect"

"Hello XXX,
I am a Success Manager of XXXHiring Platform.
I will be glad to become a part of your professional connections and build collaboration with you.
best regards
XXX"

I found an extension to unfollow all my connections so I have no reason to stay on LinkedIn anymore than I need to.
He's got a pretty nice ribbon saw though!

Also:

"Actually, I did use a table saw to square up some of the pieces."
I'd be up for an hour long rant about GUIs but you can't just handwave away the differences between Windows 95 and upwards.

95 was focused on a spatial metaphor like old school MacOS and 98 started the switch to a browser metaphor.

"Without any license or any payment to authors or publishers, [Internet Archive] scans print books"

That's a lie, unless they are alleging that those print books were stolen, they were bought and paid for. That is how print books work, for the most part?
+1 your second observation. We bought a hundred year old house a few years ago. In that time I’ve gone from “knowing how to hang a picture” to full owner-builder, enclosing a garage, and lots of projects in between, all from YouTube.
I use linkedin for having a reasonable reliable connection to people from the past.
I.e., primary school friends, high school friends, colleagues, etc.

I've never used it for job hunting, but for the feeling that i might be able to get back in touch with someone i was close with at one point in my life. Basically, i just want Facebook without the feed. Linkedin admirably fits that niche.

Admittedly, I hardly use it - but it's the ultimate fallback for when all other options run out.

Apparently people post things there. But i don't think anyone holds it against you if you do not interact.

You are blatantly wrong. There are of course many things we don't understand about the new virus yet, but of course the experts on infectious diseases know a lot more than the average person.

The main issue is that they need to retrain their bots for each new map, which would mean excessive training every time the map-pool changes (e.g. every 3 months or so IIRC).

I'd even argue that they missed their goal by a long shot if their system isn't able to play arbitrary maps - every human player can do that no problem.

That’s not “language policing” as described elsewhere in the thread.

You don’t see men in the workplace being called “males”. “Female” and “male” as nouns are used to describe animals. It’s dehumanizing. Don’t do it.

It is attractive for a front end dev who does not have control over the backend endpoints i.e. public API like Facebook.

It clearly looks questionable adaption for a single organization.
The drafts don't seem to mention that this use case would be at the forefront or better than with HTTP/2, got any pointers?

Generally high loss is not well tolerated by internet protocols, so high loss networking technologies tend to handle forward error correction and retransmissions in protocol layers below IP.
I have no expertise in this area, but my guess is that there would be millions of sites like this across Australia. Australia is absolutely massive and the indigenous population has an epic 40-80k years of history here. If you wanted to preserve everything just in case, no one could move a foot.

I suspect they have preserved the key sites with the best scientific opportunities or main cultural importance, and that these are much more run of the mill.

That said, mining companies make buckets of money and I have no issue with tipping the scales a bit against their convenience and profitability for something like this.
Per that one example.

The URL of the article being linked to was "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Twin_Cities_riots" (it has now been changed).

Compare the two: "Twin Cities whatever" used in the URL is a lot less political than "Goerge Floyd whatever". And the "riots" used in the URL is obviously something people were searching Google for.

Wikipedia could have used the more conservative name, and acknowledged that "the protests, also known as the "George Floyd Riots" (as is obvious from the URL)....

Don't get fixated on that example though - the whole article reads like it was written by the press team of a large corporation with a narrative to sell.
Sure, technically, perhaps, but also not really? Their fiduciary duty is to act in the company's best interests, so they can't do anything that a court could find was harmful to the company, or to shareholders, including minority shareholders.

So, much like in a healthy governmental system, there's a tension of power; between the board, management, shareholders, customers, the general public, and the law.

So it's not really "ultimate" power. Yes "ultimate" in terms of appointing executives and setting long-term company direction. But not "ultimate" in terms of being able to, say, arbitrarily shut down a subreddit; if management didn't agree and it was not clearly in the company's best interests, it could lead to a leadership crisis and/or a fiduciary breach.

Note the questioner specified: "In terms of day to day operations...". The point is that the board is expressly not meant to interfere in day-to-day operations.

They can in modelling tools.
It does feel that a lot of buildings were designed with very little effort and are just a random arrangements of components and some patch work to make it passable. There are so many weird solutions, especially in newer buildings.

Far too few entrances and exits. Doors opening the wrong way, or extra doors or short stairs you have to pass through. Random looking window sizes and placements. Or no windows. Or no windows to the side with the best views, instead all facing a close by building. Having to walk around a lot for basic oft repeating functions - ie stairs or elevators that feel like they are installed backwards.

I did some hobbbyist 3d shooter level design in the past, and played a lot of custom maps. You could see the high level "flow" and vision of master designers when playing their maps or looking at them in the editor. Less experienced mappers might have some good individual ideas but the whole would usually not be so coherent.
First thing I did was block the usual mega influencers and it got super quiet.. Not to mention any names but you know who I'm talking about.
That's obviously false. There's clearly been anarchist groups. You're correct in saying that they haven't existed as a large organized group at a similar scale, public awareness, or relevance, but they've certainly existed.
Sex change operations are not legally possible in most country under a certain age, around 18. For example in Europe:

> In thirteen out of twenty-eight Member States, general surgery rules apply as regards the age at which children can request a sex reassignment surgery. In this context, the age requirement for access to medical treatment without the consent of the parents or of a public authority is 18 years in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, France, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, and 15 years in Slovenia. In the United Kingdom the age requirement ranges from 16 in Scotland to 17 in England and 18 in Wales. In Belgium, Estonia, Germany and Luxembourg the child’s maturity is assessed.

The main medical treatment available is blocking puberty:

I remember my last chat with one of such guys. They insisted that the company wasn't up-to-date because we didn't run our app inside containers and didn't develop our own AI/ML systems...
An insane mistake to make, but perhaps more surprising than the fact that it could be allowed to happen is that someone who benefited from the mistake is willing to simply hand the ETH back.

It is not really a backend when it does not involve business logic but just an access layer for the DB. It is pretty much a client server model.
This exactly. You cannot first say people have a right to own guns, a right to defend themselves with them, and a right to shoot intruders in their homes, and then give police a no-knock warrant to enter people's homes unannounced. You're asking police officers to get shot. It's an incredibly stupid and dangerous combination.
Yes there is risk.

You need a basic understanding of finance so you can look at the metrics like PEG or P/B and financial documents like the balance sheet. Then the only real question is 'do you see the company thriving in 5 years'.

For example, during the dip you could buy Disney for $87 or Shell for $29. They should go back to thriving and should double in price in the next 5 years. You can also buy put options on companies that you think will fail or drop significantly (like AMC).

The other thing you can do is play the odds. Almost everything has been going up since the dip. So you have a much better chance of picking a winner. Another statistical advantage is that you do know which way the market is moving - up. Over the longterm, the market only goes up. The Fed's QE and easy money is greatly helping.

If you're a regular employee, your benefits from LinkedIn could be limited to a job search. However, being an independent consultant, author of your content, owner of a product, you should care about building your community and increase your "influence" in this community.
I do not agree nothing much happen there, probably nothing that could be interesting a big corporation employee. In terms of building business connections that is the only available worldwide social network.
Does identifying work though? What's stopping an intruder from doing that? I just don't see how no-knock warrants like this are supposed to work.
Yes, for instance in this 2015 study on influenza: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4342672/

Higher initial dose results in worse outcomes. Low dose still helps build immunity. Covid19 should be assumed to work like other RTIs.

I think Web-style navigation was introduced as an option in Windows 98, along with Active Desktop. Back then, Microsoft envisioned merging local file system and web browsing in Explorer, a direction they later reversed when the IE/Windows lawsuit hit.

It is a DMCA violation to remove what Microsoft calls "Windows features" from its proprietary operating system.

It tells a lot about what DMCA and Windows are. It tells even more about whose side they are on: the common people or the enterprise.

I can only hope the answer is easy enough to figure out, but I'll leave a tip just in case: not on the side of people.
I agree, and you can just ignore the spam (or block them with browser extension as others as mentioned)
While your comments on race being a reasonable factor are fair enough, you seem rather blind to the absurdity of another upper middle class ivy League democrat from a very elite clique being shuffled into another senior tech position on "my turn" basis being considered meritocratic.

I said partly. Regarding the internet the US had a central role in developing and implementing the technology and infrastructure, as is testified by the fact that our current domain system is still US-centric, but in a sense they did not invent it.

Regarding defeating the axis and specifically Germany (Italy was not a military colossus) there is data that shows that the USSR had a bigger impact in defeating the nazis.

No one denies the contributions of the US in both of those feats, but also it is undeniable that the narrative isn't always factually true.
