Skimmed through it. Seems mostly accurate. There is a lot of laws made explicitly to control the muslim minority. There is something about it that feels off to me though. Maybe its the "oh wholesome Denmark is actually awful". It's not really a dark secret, nationalistic populism has been on the rise in all of Europe for 20+ years.

The scene with the 'antifascists' being used as an argument for the animosity in Danish society seems construed imo. We don't see what lead up to it. But if I saw someone vlogging with his pals in that spot, just after a Paludan 'event', I would also tell them to stop filming. That corner as been used as hangout for a gang, and coupled with the boiling atmosphere in the neighbourhood its not really safe. Regardless I find the video factual but very bombastic.
Most tech work is not close to the 1% income bracket which for California its $659,503. Its probably around $100K.
Seems fairly equivalent to funding a new building at a university that is already mostly populated by rich kids, who by and large are doing things less useful to society than building a decentralized computing platform used around the world.

Where’s the screenshot of what user input looks like for Android on Windows?

I’d love to compare those side by side to make a judgement of which looks more janky.
Not his fault the tax rules are broken for the ultra-rich. They always have been throughout history...so I don't expect any changes.

If we tried, it would require regulation on how politicians can be compensated for the rest of their lives after taking office. Need to close the revolving door where politicians help out rich people/corporations while in office, then are compensated indirectly after leaving office.
“ The paper looked at the life expectancy for 2,800 male police officers in Buffalo, N.Y., who spent at least five years on the force between 1950 and 2005. It compared the officers’ life expectancy with that of the overall white male population of the United States. The researchers excluded women and minority officers because they accounted for a small percentage of the potential pool, which would have made it hard to conduct statistically valid comparisons.

According to the study, officers in the study had a "significantly lower" life expectancy than U.S. white men as a whole, with the gap especially large for those at younger ages.

Specifically, the study found that an officer who lived to age 50 could expect to live only 7.8 additional years, while a typical U.S. white man was expected to live an additional 35 years.

Calculations using a different metric known as the years of potential life lost found a similar disparity. The years of potential life lost for police officers aged 40 to 44 was more than 38 times bigger than it was for the population as a whole, and the average for all age groups was 21 times bigger.

Finally, using a third metric, the study found that a male police officer aged 50 to 54 years had "close to a 40% probability of death compared to a 1% probability for males in the general population in that same age category."”

It’s possible that because they live less, one could argue they should be compensated more to account for their more imminent death.

> Of course, Usenet seemed to manage just fine.

Usenet collapsed under the weight of spam and trolls. People tried to keep it going with some bolted on moderation tools but they never worked very well and eventually people moved on to more moderated platforms.

Even if you remove alt.binaries the rest of the Usenet had a massive spam problem that was never fully solved. Once a community grows large enough you can't get around the need for moderation, it takes far too few bad faith actors to increase the noise level beyond the point that the average person can tolerate. It doesn't take long for the quality people to leave in search of a less noisy venue.

There are records from that school, yes. Are there enough to account for fictional numbers? No, why would there be?

Do you understand how perilous counting "graves? with ground radar is? Note that the people who actually did the study are very careful with their language, noting that they found ground anomalies. The actual correlation with that and graves is incredibly loose.

I don't keep up on the exact rankings of the Oxbridge colleges, but there is a huge difference in the wealth of the richest colleges from the average of the rest.

Long before Yale, King's College Cambridge pioneered sophisticated investment management: Keynes turned around the college's assets on the 1930s during the Great Depression to become level with the traditionally wealthiest Cambridge college, Trinity, which had long had vast property assets.

There are many legal traditions in the world, and most of them (both by number, volume of territory, amount of people governed, etc) take the opposite approach.

Only a very narrow English line of black letter law that ascribes to the black letter above all else... and even in that system a completely twinned system of courts allowed for ethical adjustments to law through the courts of equity.

Most continental systems of law and currently standard constitutional constructions provide very clear, very codified release valves for situations in which the written law is bullshit. Which is often.

> i think the touchscreen is just a gimmick that is barely used.

I'll just say that my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga) has a touchscreen and I love it. Every laptop I buy from here out will be a touchscreen merely because the ability to reach up while I type and just tap where i want my mouse to go next is such a better system than working with a nipple or trackpad.

I think as laptops with touchscreens become more affordable lots of people will change across. When i'm forced to work on my work laptop without KB&M, I really miss the ability to touch my screen instead of working with the god awful trackpad.
McAfee himself said it was a financial move at the time. https://www.fastcompany.com/1615167/plagued-lawsuits-mcafee-...

Question - is this students who are paying for it now and at school now or is this students who look back ten years afterwards? Tough to see current value from a lifelong investment. Not for or against - just commenting on the bias of the lens of which it is viewed.
IRAs can be shareholders in anything. They can be 100% shareholders as well. They can even form their own companies from the beginning.

Being a minor shareholder in a corporation isn't a prohibited transaction or run afoul of self dealing regulations.

Even in circumstances that they would, you having less than X% of voting shares mitigates that, the X depending on what type of tax deferred or exempt entity is in question. SOME tax deferred/exempt entities have stricter self dealing regulations and even they wouldnt have had an issue here as Peter Thiel was one of several co-founders.
The harm here isn't that he invested in startups, but that it's become such an insanely high profit that's now entirely shielded from taxes. What would preventing startup investments accomplish that a simple cap on shielded gains (let's say 10 or 20 million) wouldn't?
There's a line somewhere near the bottom that says:

"Once you’ve mastered something and have reached a level of the highest success, you can overlap and begin to take on something else."

I don't think you or the author is wrong here, but it's more of a case of giving sufficient attention to something and that thing alone before you attempt the next thing.

Kanye just made beats until he was making beats for Jay etc., then dominated with his own records; the fashion successes have only come in the last 3 or so years. Elon cashed out with software a couple of times before the other stuff (which admittedly comes thick and fast - but he has the luxury of people to help now). Clooney was a successful (and wealthy) actor before the entrepreneurial stuff. I don't know enough about da Vinci, but perhaps he was a true multitasking polymath :-)

I think every later step is easier when you have past successes (and usually money!) behind you.

I'm absolutely sure there are people who can multitask mastery, but my take from the article was for most of us it's better to properly focus on a single something until you reach whatever you define 'success' in that area as before you leverage that into the next thing.

An Interview with a Leading Venture Capitalist
My point was more that the class was just plain garbage and that's the most objective measure of how terrible it was that I can think of. There were people repeatedly and absent-mindedly pointing rifles at the person next to them. You know why they still got the hunter's safety card? Because they didn't do it on their last shot, so obviously they learned their lesson. The in-person instruction was also just a slide-show of the instructor's previous hunting trip.

That said, I stand by my suggestion that an inability to hit a standard sheet of paper at 5 yards with a training rifle is bad enough to qualify as a safety issue. Doing the math here, these people would be unable to hit a 60' target at typical deer ranges in my state. You can't be sure of your target and what's behind it at that point, and that's one of the 4 fundamental rules of gun safety. You should be measuring your ability to hit the vital organs of an animal in a low number of minutes of angle - so we're talking INCHES at the same ranges. If you can't do that you have no business hunting. If you're off by 60' you're just plain being reckless.
Quite a lot of these lawsuits happening in Germany against local businesses. But can a German court really order a company located in Switzerland to comply? I thought that was the main selling point of Swiss-based companies.
Windows also has Linux now.

A large part of the value of a degree is, I believe;

* Socialising and building social capital

* Networking

Naturally, few of these things are possible in a pandemic.
> The web was born and grew up on Windows

For many home users that is a reality, even if it is not historically accurate. And, more importantly, I think that highlights the current position of Windows.

In the 90s and 2000s, Windows was synonymous with computing, the office and the Internet. Nowadays, Android and iPhone are the point of contact with the world for most people. Windows has lost that position.

What I read is "The web was born and grew up on Windows" ... and we want Windows to be its future. That is what, I think, it follows from that statement and the goal of Windows 11.
Someone in the character animation department might not even spend most of their day at the computer. They’re more like a combination actor and assistant director than a technical department guy.
>* A Microsoft account and internet connectivity is required for Windows 11 Home setup

I refuse. There better be easily accessible versions without this requirement.
This was unclear to me as well. “This holiday” is not a phrase I’ve ever really heard in casual conversation or in the media register. I know the British “go on holiday” but that means vacation.

Their PR/marketing department dropped the ball on this specific phrase. At the same time it seems that marketing department slip ups are common these days.

If they mean Christmas time, I.e. December or winter, they should just say December or winter. That would be more clear.
I had a really hard time watching the presentation, regardless of the features presented. Panos Panay continously referred to Windows as "the product", they presented years-old feature like multi-desktop, and the maybe biggest news, Android apps, was just mentioned as side info.
No. Why am I paying a company more money to fix a problem they caused? I think I’ll just get a Mac.
Huh, I was sure it was you for some reason. Sorry for the confusion.

I was a customer of Amiga E back in the day, and keep occasionally checking your site, maybe that's how I got it into my head. [And Aardappel the language has fascinated me ever since I saw it on your site]
Will Windows 11 run on ARM and be publicly available?
Sure it is, not his alone, but the ultra rich bribe the government to make sure the rules are broken. They are all at fault. Any attempt to fix these things is stopped by the ultra rich. They have even put their own people on the supreme court! (see comments by the Koch brothers stating this explicitly)
I don't know a single person who moved to Miami this last year, or ever actually. I have known some people who moved away from there. I don't think anything is going on, there is no "mass migration". I don't see this effecting tech or innovation anywhere.
I think a lot of safety-critical systems even here on earth have exemptions from lead-free regulations because of this... but even lead can form whiskers.
I'm guessing the "technical" people are software engineers or designers. Windows is still very much in use at large enterprises which means you have a lot of technical people supporting businesses that use it and I don't see that changing soon. Show me a good alternative to AD, group policy etc. that allows the granular control on the back end like Windows does.

I wouldn't look forward to training anyone to use Linux or Apple products that's not familiar with them already.

Additionally, I still can't get my camera or mic to work on Ubuntu on my Dell XPS 9700, tried Mint as well and the wifi doesn't work on it. Linux needs to address its multiple driver inconsistencies (or Dell does) before it'll ever become the norm in a business environment. The only other 2 viable computer manufacturers for businesses are really Lenovo and HP which have problems too.

That's a lot of mental gymnastics you're doing there.

Why would a question about satisfaction with your smartphone exclude the entire operating system? I mean, maybe that's what they did(?). But there is no evidence for that. At all.

I'm not even going to respond to the wild speculation (again, without evidence) that the results are flawed by a "measurement artifact".
Anyone actually done this with normal stock options (NSO if it matters) and have advice? My understanding is that it might be achievable with Pensco as the IRA custodian but I'd be interested in hearing how it worked in practice
The way it's worded also implies it's going to be a loooong road before it's anything like production ready.

Like you though, I can't imagine why I'd want to use Android apps on my desktop... I'd prefer to use my Android phone/tablet, where such apps were designed to run. Now, I'm thinking maybe I'm not the target market for this feature... but then I wonder, who is? For example, they mention TikTok - does your average TikTok user even have a Windows PC? And if so, why would they prefer to sit in front of a desktop to view short videos, rather than their phone or TV?
From wikipedia: " Microsoft Windows is the most commonly installed OS, at approximately between 74% (based on web use) and 97.03% (based on use for gaming) globally"
Also - is this A16z betting on all the surrounding companies of crypto assets? If so - it is not too dissimilar from all the landlords/property holders in San Francisco making money in the gold rush while the miners did not.

Yes. A lot of Western action movies owe their inspiration to Chinese movies (and I suppose, viceversa). In this case Hero (2002) -- or a similar movie, since I doubt it invented this trope -- is likely an inspiration for A Game of Shadows (2011).
Yes, it worked, and far longer than most corporate initiatives do. The antitrust trial was decided in 2001 and Chrome didn’t launch until 2008. Microsoft owned the pathway to the Internet for Windows users for a solid decade.
That's the thing with these Windows UI updates. It looks great until you fire up some application like Office and then it suddenly it's the same interface you were using before. Then you have this weird mix of aesthetics.
The actual saying what your idea is? No.

The process of getting to saying what your idea is? Frequently, especially if it is very informal or reliant on social cred to get into the room.

> Open a Roth with $2,000 or less

You need a MAGI of less than $139,000 to do that. That includes dividends and capital gains, so it's unlikely post-Paypal Thiel ever made that little. Pre-Paypal Thiel might have.

> Get a sweetheart deal to buy a stake in a startup that has a good chance of one day exploding in value.

This might happen for post-Paypal Thiel. Definitely not pre. This is way easier said than done unless you have good access to deal flow (he does) and founders willing to pay for the privilege of having you as an investor vs. some random VC.

> Pay just fractions of a penny per share

You're not paying fractions of a penny per share for something that has a "good chance of one day exploding in value." This investment doesn't exist.

I'd love to see his specific investments. I have a feeling a handful from a specific time window made up the bulk his his returns.
Isn't Linux supposed to be getting PREEMPT_RT ("realtime patch") support any day now? That should bring us to full feature parity with BeOS/Haiku at least on the kernel side.

Let's hope it wasn't as bad as the "revamp" in Windows 10 where that dumb ribbon replaced a usable toolbar for good, where Quick Access apparently was necessary because obviously the file directory listing wasn't obvious enough...

And pressing tab to get to the other pane now gave focus to the list header when in details view, forcing you to press tab 30 times to get between the left and right panes.

I think the most useful Explorer version was the Windows 98 one or possibly XP, but it went downhill in Vista.

Let's hope they had a change of heart and just reverted to that old version!!!
I'm obviously not an expert but what I can imagine is

- requirement of social media companies to correct the record and show people where they were the target of misinformation

- childhood development informed minimum age requirement for social media use

- banning of ultra-specific targeting the way it is done right now

- banning of political advertising

The list goes on and, again, obviously I'm not an expert in all the externalities, I just see a problem and would like to see it addressed. I have suggestions but am open to other suggestions. Anything that's not "the market will fix it".
Agreed. Wuxia to be specific, which is kinda like fantasy kung fu and has a long tradition.
