It's an interesting thought but I am not sure if it holds up. What about advertising on road signs and even going to the mall? Surely, storefronts are stealing my attention and what about those fancy gold plated luxury items? Are flowers stealing bee's attention?
You need to get an interview first. Once you get to that stage, you’re absolutely right!
Microsoft had an Android compat suite and an iOS compat suite in some of the Windows Mobile 10 betas.

They decided not to ship either one, although I don't think I ever saw an official reason.

The app ecosystem was a small part of the failure of Windows Mobile, IMHO. A larger issue was that they abandoned the low end in WM10, and that's where they were doing well in WP7 and 8. That each major version of the OS also had a new app framework was a lot of work for app developers, too. And blocking 3rd party browsers (mostly) and then making WM10 use Edge which was somehow worse than Mobile IE, when a browser is key on a platform without a lot of native apps didn't help.
Demand web installs. Frictionless web installs without scary warnings that serve to make people distrust the web.

People get into cars and use the web everyday. They don't need Apple or Google branded Floaties® for Computing.

Tell your legislators.
With 100,000 employees sending one message a year, that is 50 messages per hour (depending on work day and vacation). While individual messages don't take long to read, it is enough. Don't forget that if the idea is good it will take a lot of effort to implement it.

Note the the other reply gave interesting data that I didn't factor into this. You can expanding it to assume that all ideas need to be given a good reply or the people will give up on the idea.
It still works in 32 bit Windows 10 but you have to install NTVDM which provided as a feature on demand.
On the web you are explicitly choosing (i.e. clicking a link or typing a URL) to go places that show you advertising in exchange for providing whatever content or service you when there to see. This is why many argue (coherently) that using ad blockers are an act of theft. I actually think the latter is a much stronger argument than what you're putting forth.
I'm with you, but I doubt it. To my knowledge, Apple hasn't faced any antitrust pressure from bundling FaceTime and iMessage into iOS/Mac OS.
I don't see what the big deal here. The serial killer really did exist, and has the same name as the author of the blog post. Searching for "Hristo Georgiev" using Bing and DuckDuckGo turns up the article about the serial killer as the first link. Why is this not "DuckDuckGo turned me into a serial killer", other than people hating on Google?

Suppose his name was "Thomas Edison"; would the title of the article then read, "How Google turned me into the inventor of the light bulb"?

Or suppose someone shared the name, with say, Slobodan Milosevic; is it Google's fault that a web search of that person's name turns up articles about someone who was charged with genocide and other war crimes?

What is Dutch food anyway? Bitterballen? Just some salted fish on a thin slice of rye? Seems like everyone there in your neck of the woods eats Italian basically? I spent a solid month in Amsterdam once and the most "Dutch" thing I ate was....Indonesian?
I think that’s a reasonable view. It’s tripled in cost and no way has a degree tripled in value.

You can’t create a market for something and provide no additional value.
>RE At&t, holy hell, I kind of can't believe the FCC allows that provided the device support is in place...

The FCC allows a lot of bullshit, see DISH's decade-long spectrum hoarding/squatting for the most egregious offense. This, uh, explains some of it concisely: https://makespectrumgreatagain.com/

Also, AT&T knows how to navigate government lobbying and effectively lives off government welfare through the FirstNet government contract: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Responder_Network_Author...
I was curious about that too. Though I lost a lot of excess fat through intermittent fasting a few years ago. Slipped back into old habits after my relationship broke up and I’m almost back to square one!

Ah perfect, let Dorsey and Zuck be the arbiters of truth.

That definitely has not backfired during covid right? As I recall both platforms suppressed any mention of a lab leak theory as “conspiracy”.
> I wouldn't mind ads if they were ... accurate, and would just advertise what I want to see

"Accurate" doesn't necessarily mean "what you want to see". The quip of "more relevant ads" sounds nice, but it just means they're tuned to you specifically, not that they're tuned to what you want to see.

As an example, if it is possible to accurately target people with particular voting preferences, it is possible to show them links to articles about how individual votes don't matter and otherwise discourage them from voting.

That's more accurate, but not desirable.
Unless he edited his comment it said nothing of the sort. It states there's a push and there is.
And, especially if it were something less extreme than serial killer and dates/location seemed plausible at first glance (or not--as you say skimming), a lot of people doing some quick resume triage will see the fraud conviction and move on.

Like John Aaron, the steely eyed missile man!
> It turns out that Google's knowledge graph algorithm somehow falsely associated my photo with the Wikipedia article about the serial killer. Which is also surprisingly strange because my name isn't special or unique at all; there are literally hundreds of other people with my name, and despite of all that, my personal photo ended up being associated with a serial killer. I can't really explain to myself how this happened, but it's weird. In any case, I am now in the process of reporting this Knowledge Graph bug to Google.

I believe that there is a simpler explanation.

The Wikipedia article is there in that side box because it is the top hit for "hristo georgiev" on Google's main search page. The picture is there because it is the top hit for "hristo georgiev" on Google's image search page.
I mean, you could watch the same news on r/news if you want to see that kind of comments. We don't do that here, and tourists always try to emulate their customes but it is still wrong.

Just commenting as a person with many years on this platform.
Yes, unassailable is a word. It means indisputable, unable to be attacked, questioned, or defeated. As a programmer, I like knowing as many words as possible.

As for the rest, if you take offense at a little bit of undirected glib hyperbole, then perhaps seeking comfort would benefit you the most.

> More often, though, it means that we think your position is stupid, but it's not worth the time it would take to explain why.

Where did you get your stats? I'd like to see them please.
True, if it were a ps2 title the level would start out like that, and then suddenly open up to show off how much better they can do outdoor environments now.
So, because of what some uninformed person told you three decades ago, you're going to disbelieve what actual scientists are telling you today?

No serious climate scientist would have told you in 1989 that anything was going to happen by 2000. They would have shown you graphs that look a lot like the graphs they show you today. Just as today, they didn't predict "half of humanity" dead. They predicted a lot of refugees, a lot of changes in agriculture, and a lot of expensive weather events.

If you'd rather base it off what one person told you back then, go ahead. But don't tell me it's for any reason other than petulance to get back at that person.
He should sue to get it fixed if they don't fix it, but I believe he'd have to show evidence of harm if he were to sue for damages.
Absolutely true. Which is why I call out the end you shouldn’t treat this as some kind of dogma. If you’re not getting to the interview stage you at least need to have a process to reflect on why and iterate on it.
There are many other jurisdictions the story could be relevant to but isn't.

"Police" is not (yet) a global institution.

Also: Editorializing? It's literally in the first sentence of the article.
Much like when your child goes off to college and becomes their own person, you still care about their success and failure even if you aren't directly responsible.

Microsoft will always be his baby.
They're not developing new features, though. They're literally supporting Blender as it is. If there's a security issue in Blender, you probably won't be able to fix it by creating a new Python extension.

Ads should be replaced by fact sheets, made to objectivly compare products. Instead of advertising agencies, you'd have organisations that compare the greatest number of products, as objectivly as possible.

Probably unrealizable, and riddeled with issues, but ideally preferable.
> Google is shunted out of the Microsoft eco-system

iOS is 54.33% of all tablets, Android is 45.57%. Microsoft, Amazon, and everyone else combined account for 0.1%

It doesn't seem like an ecosystem Google has the time to worry about.
Hopefully once it's actually usable, which might be a long time away --- the last I looked, it didn't even support dependencies or uninstalling...
The Junior Eurovision song contest has an interesting system - you must vote for 3 of the 12 entries. Voting for only 1 or 2 is not allowed. I'd be interested to see analysis of this. I don't think it's a good idea for government elections, I just wonder what it would actually do.

Congress has closed session hearings every week to discuss Top Secret issues.
Well... where's Pelosi's district? San Fransisco. Where is Apple headquartered? Cupertino. Not quite within Pelosi's district (I think), but close enough that, if you were calling politicians to get your company point of view heard, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Apple to call her.

The thing is, she just happens to be the Speaker of the House.

Really odd conclusion: If you want the big tech companies to have less influence on government, you need to get rid of Pelosi as Speaker. (I mean, they could call the next Speaker's office, too, but they'd have less influence...)
Abenics Active 3D Ball Joint Mechanism based on spherical gear meshings
Independent of the current case (and Hamburg rulings in gernal), I haven't made up my mind yet about DNS blocking.

The countless analogies don't really help me to find the right approach to handle these kinds of things.

First, the "it only increases friction" argument: Basically everything is like that. Barely anything is absolute in the regard. If locked doors are effective at stopping most get-ins, it doesn't matter that they can easily be opened with a bit of skill.

Second, should every country have to accept everything that is legal to host in any other country, i.e., should countries be allowed to make and uphold their own laws? I mostly think so, but am not sure how to achieve this. Violations can easily be outside of the reach of the country but there is still a desire to prevent the influence. Is DNS resolution an appropriate point to attack this problem? I am not sure, neither from an effectiveness nor an sensibility point of view, but I find the point of view to pursue everyone in their home jurisdiction (if it can be determined at all) convincing either.
I would literally get fired for this stuff. I may end up on a performance plan next year due to being slow. I've seen people get close to being fired (at least given the lowest rating) when not providing off-hours support (if it's a pattern). Hell, I almost got fired for answering my prior department head by saying that my future plan was just to be a midlevel developer since I was working above my level and not getting promoted. He told my manager "fire him", and I only managed to transfer because he tipped me off. I work for one of the 25 best places to work according to computer world.
According to the article, the name is not unique at all (for his people at least).
I hope you're aware that "left wing" doesn't mean "socialist" or "communist" and that plenty of liberal democracies have had social democratic parties in power for some period or another without there being any breakdown in tolerance to opposing viewpoints.
I don't get it either. I've never met anyone who liked any of the dynamic content provided by MS pretending that Windows is media platform. I think these are features the MS execs want, not users.

> Is Linux a usable alternative?

Who knows. Look at Ubuntu and some of the other distros that try to push the app store model, connected accounts, etc.. These people are building the software they want, not the software I want as a consumer.

I pay for Windows. I'd gladly pay for Linux instead if it was good enough.
I literally just got my wallet back because someone Googled me, and could find an email easily since my site ranks well for my name so there's definitely some benefit to being exposed.

I use Windows 10 every day, and I think the days of the desktop UI mattering are over. 95% of my time is in Chrome and Steam games. Windows already has split screen and that's enough for home use.

That said, I can't say how it feels at work.
What happened man? I know I’m a stranger on the internet and I’m probably half a world away but I’m listening.

I’ve been in some real rough holes too and I know what it feels like to lose all hope but I’ve never been without a home. Can’t imagine how hard that is for you mate.
The emails are likely bug reports?
When I was looking for work two years ago, I sent around my software engineer resume but was not getting many responses. So I looked at ten job listings for open positions and analyzed them for many things.

Most of them said they wanted a software engineer, one said they wanted a software developer, one used both terms. Two companies asked for knowledge of data structures and algorithms. Three asked for someone who could write maintainable code.

One thing I noticed - mention of having high impact. Mention of agile, iteration, fast pace. Lots of mentions of team collaboration. Mention of being able to ship features, fix bugs, and learn.

My resume was mostly about what languages I knew and the like, I rewrote it to use words like collaboration, impact, agile and the like (all of which were true, I just didn't use the word collaborate in my resume, or mention I collaborated with product owners, UX etc.) Basically my new rewritten resume was a regurgitation of the job listing commonalities - but an honest one as I had been working scrum, collaborating etc., I just left that out of my resume and instead put technical buzzwords. Once I made the change I began to get more responses.

In other words, consider the fact that people aren't resigning in protest as a hint that perhaps there's another viewpoint that you haven't explored and this "news" source could just not be covering it.

After all we want people to have good media literacy even when you like the source.
I know what unassailable means. I'm just pointing out the absurdity of you thinking that the word applies to your posts because you're receiving downvotes.
Hack Design – Learning the Basics

I just did an install of Windows 10 this morning and can confirm that the option is still there in 21H1.
But could it have been communicated more effectivly? Ads have a lot of noise, use tricks and are biased. You can't take them at face value, but require additional effort to extract the relevant and real information.
I'll need someone to step in with a link to the actual post, because I can't think of the right search terms, but he has (of course) written about this in the past. His self-described schtick is to write about existing things in such a way that they reach a new audience, by dint of acting as a translator between some of the mental models that various people have. I'm not sure how much is gained by describing such an approach in the way that you do.

If you'd simply omitted the bracketed clause, perhaps your comment might have been useful!
> Why would you have to agree on politics to like someone?

There are some political stances that also imply a particular moral/ethical stance. I think it'd be pretty normal to not like someone if their morals are incompatible with yours.
In a working market, the cost of a good is very close to its cost.
I wonder - what's wrong with supporting just the Steam runtime and that's it? Why deferring to Photon/Wine at all?
Ok, great, so now there is one more option that addresses your preference) but it still isn't really innovation.

Good luck shit head
Not just are they not free, they are actually MORE expensive, since the $x has to cover the overhead of providing the at platform. There is also the hidden additional expense of the marketing department and the expense to create the ad.

If you were to pay, you would only have to pay the part that covers what the platform would earn on the ad.

And then there is the design issue: if Facebook charged their users they would design Facebook so that it gave more value to you, instead of just sucking in as much time as possible.
I don't understand question #1. Maybe you can rephrase?

#2 requires a mix of (i) reference interviews, and (ii) digging into details during candidate interviews. Read these books to learn how:

Ex-Amazon here. One thing than Amazon really understands is that if you build you also create the opportunity to develop skill and knowledge.

Also you avoid vendor lock-in. Even Open source projects cause lock-in especially if they are overcomplex and fast moving.
Here is another way to think about it; if we were having this conversation in face to face, how long do you think it would take? I suspect after maybe fifteen minutes we would probably have felt out where the actual differences in our opinions lay and why and if for some reason we needed to codify this understanding I trust that either of us would be able to put it in written form and have it capture the nuance of that conversation. I think it would take a little longer in zoom and I would have a lower confidence that we had properly understood each others perspective.
Face to face communication has a whole lot of information in the form of body language, intonation, expressions, etc that I don't think can be reasonably approximated in text format, even with reactions like in Discord (which are very helpful!) it still feels fraught.
Though they redacted the domain name at issue, they failed to redact the IP address that it resolves to. As a result, I can say that the domain at issue is www.canna.to. Further confirmation of this is that the banner of the forum associated to that page, board.canna.to, has a banner warnings its users that it's moved to board.canna.tf to avoid the DNS block ("Um einer DNS-Sperre auch des Boards vorzubeugen, haben wir es von canna.to abgekoppelt.").
