It’s not trying to solve an actual user problem, it’s trying to solve a blockchain investor problem because right now their investments are speculative without any real-world use.
The reason is that Microsoft as a company is all-in on "data-driven" everything. They're trying to get their customers to adopt this approach too (and mostly succeeding, our company execs are constantly going on about it). Disabling telemetry breaks this so they make it as difficult as possible. Because that's where they're planning to have their major value-add.

I really hate it too. But it seems so be so heavily anchored in their strategy that I don't expect them to lighten up about it.
I don’t think it’s been confirmed that these people are left wing authoritarians. It also seems like a dangerous way to think about this as a problem rationally. You’re basically deciding the facts of the matter outside of any actual evidence or argument.

Further writing people off sounds pretty authoritarian.

It is if you want to use someone else’s software that requires it; you can’t have something on your terms just because the cost of using it is paid in something other than fiat currency.

I mean, this could just be an educated gamble. Satoshi has been unwilling or unable to communicate for many years (with the exception of one highly suspect incident that is very possibly a case of compromised credentials).
Popularity absolutely does not impact the logical correctness of an argument: an argument is true by virtue of its own structure, if you say popularity somehow affects its correctness you've basically jettisoned logic in favour of subjective opinion.

At best popularity serves as a useful heuristic for when you don't have the means to carefully confirm the correctness yourself.

(There is a fairly uninteresting special case where the popularity of something comes in to the argument as a factual statement about the world.)
Rather like minmaxing, once you encounter something severely discredited there's no point going on and you can prune that whole dialogue tree.

You are correct (and I was wrong). Looks like there’s still Windows 10 21H2 update coming with some new things, but wslg is not one of them.

I thought it was because, if the mob doesn't get their way, they single out the 'admins' as the next target. At least that's what I remember before I cut out on following twitter as a first party platform.
LTSC as of 2019 also includes telemetry now. You get the same choice as on regular Windows: all telemetry or just the basics
> Vote in or appoint new leaders who do not give a damn about them. May backfire if too callous people are the winners.

You're literally talking about appointing a group primarily based on their quality of not listening to people; in the ideal case, they're callous.

The trap is that you'll really just appoint a bunch of right-wingers who won't cancel right-wing speakers for not being "politically correct" but will cancel every mildly-left wing speaker for being a terrorist or supporting terrorism.

I would say it's more convenient and useful for servers, but it could also be used for desktop. In theory it's the perfect server operating system, but in practice many sysadmins balk at having to learn the configuration language which has some design flaws that make it awkward and they stick with old fashioned stuff like Ansible.

In my Tesla model 3 SR+ not that long. Batteries charge slower the more charge they have, so rather than 0-100% charge it's much better to do 2 sessions of 5-60%. In my car 5-60% is going to be about 15-20 minutes. 60% of the battery is a little over 200 km range at highway speeds, so 400 km would be about 30-40 minutes of total charging time. You have to think about it differently from gasoline though, since the car charges unattended. When I road trip in the car by the time I go to the bathroom and stretch my legs a little the car is ready to go.

Charging at home in the garage is a game changer though, since you always have a 'full' battery when leaving on a road trip. Yesterday was Canadian Thanksgiving so I travelled to visit family. I did 320 km total during the day at various points. I had enough battery to just reach home with an estimated 3%, but stopped for a quick top up just to be safe. I went from 37-50% battery in under 5 minutes and had a 20% buffer.
This resonates, I also suggested that I might not be a good fit as I dont think the result impact is there.
This was probably not good career move here, as it is being discussed higher up.
But I honestly am unable to create impact with this codebase. This could also just mean that I am not fit for the job and they need other people.

I do understand the goal tho, that's why I raised the issue that I cant deliver enough impact in my eyes. And I think it's the right thing to raise.

Thanks for your reply, it now makes sense that quality is not a goal. At my level I should be able to work with this instead of just complaining.

Perhaps the first thing to do is stop listening to the marketing (yes, the message tested marketing pitch being sold to you) that people who have every prior vaccination, yet want to understand the risk/reward profile of this particular one, are somehow “anti-vaxxers”.

For me, the past two years will go down in history as a spectacular example of marketing messaging.

I don't find package managers confusing but I do, in fact, find them overengineered. They solve at most 75% of application management problems with the fallback for the other 25% being "compile it from source yourself" and it takes an army of unpaid third party maintainers to pull that off.

In my current estimation, Nix just solves an additional 5% at the cost of exponentially more overengineering.

Fun fact: the USSR used exactly the same technology and that is why enabled the US to monitor all phone calls using the Rhyolite/Aquacade surveillance satellite: microwaves are line-of-sight and due to the curvature of the Earth (take that flat-Earthers!), the inter-station signals continue into space and are receivable by a big enough antenna.

I love when different languages use one word to mean seemingly unrelated (or at most tangentially related) things, but in the same way.

In French the word for time is also used for weather, e.g. "Le temps est nuageux" is "The weather is cloudy" and "Y a-t-il assez de temps" is "Is there enough time?".
Inputs definitely need to be identical because different inputs may lead to different behaviours in branch predictors and memory access patterns, affecting the score.

The Politicisation of the Plague in the USA is the real story here, and I think many in the US are unaware that it’s not like that in other places.

FreeCad is a generic parametric CAD software. It is not designed for houses, but it allows to create constraints-based designs and is scriptable through python.

The Council for Foreign Relations, of which Mounk is a member, is a highly-problematic US foreign policy think tank:

Then another comment here on HN got me looking at Persuasion: Apparently, Mounk runs a group/community dedicated to protecting the "free society" from threats.

Now, that's all circumstantial stuff, and the story might be as bad as it sounds. But when proponents of US imperialism talk about defending freedom, I get worried.

So, I feel I would need to listen to the other side(s) regarding whether, how, and for what reasons the talk was canceled.
It would be good to pass laws that make it illegal to fire someone over a twitter mob (or any kind of mob action). Anti-mob or anti-bullying laws. And/or initiate class-action lawsuits against twitter for encouraging this kind of behavior or failing to prevent it, resulting in significant damage to people's careers. It's far from being the first time this happens, so there's definitely a case to be made that twitter has known for a long time that this is a problem.

Edit: changed the choice of words.
Agreed, they are less like a biased newspaper editor and more like a bouncer at a night-club who does not intervene when there is a fight provided the 'right' customer is winning, and then we can debate whether it's because the bouncer is racist or getting bribed.
From the article, among the points is that this is a slippery slope that led to uninformed sterilization of black and native people:

> It is rarely acknowledged that this decision also made possible the Supreme Court’s ruling in the 1927 case of Buck v. Bell, in which the court determined: “The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.” This ruling legitimized eugenics laws and led to 70,000 forced sterilizations in the United States

Many people still don't trust forced medical proceedings.
TL;DR: just lower your display brightness.

I'd like to provide my opinion based on some observations:

First, human eyes have probably evolved to work in natural daylight. This corresponds to [CIE D65][1] standard, which "is intended to represent average daylight and has a correlated colour temperature of approximately 6500 K".

Second, the other common recent trend is dark theme everything.

The common cause for these seems to be an excessive brightness. My simple rule is a screen filled with white should not cause eye discomfort. That's it. Lowering color temperature and switching to a dark theme are different means to a common goal of lowering overall display brightness. Warmer colors are perceived as softer and less bright. Dark theme is an overengineered way to make display darker.

I believe the "blue color danger" is/was an artificially inflated hype to sell browser/os extensions. Since most OS nowadays have color temp controls built in, unaffiliated research started to emerge.

I don't think that's true. Excel is usable by non-technical users. Part of it is due to the GUI, part of it is due to the easy packaging. But you still need to know spreadsheets to use it. This project does the same for Nix.

Twitter et al. need to be eliminated. That simple. They can't moderate/regulate well enough even if they were unbiased. And they aren't.

The other angle is to track down every member of every Twitter mob and dox them. Then attack their attacks one-on-one and personal (not violence - just pull everyone they do out of any type of anonymity and lack of consequences).
There is always a risk with vaccination as with any medication. It's small, but why take it? Taking a vaccine to make other people feel better is emotional and not scientific. There is no debate, there are blood tests. The same logic has been applied to measles.

The "listening vs. not listening to people" is a spectrum and while I think it would be unwise to pull the gauge completely to the side of callousness, more resistance against mob justice might just be necessary.

Currently, Twitter mobs have a lot of power, but none of the responsibility. This is a hellish combination, almost guaranteed to bring out the worst in people.

This needs to be reined in somehow. I am not claiming that utterly callous leaders are the solution - in fact, I made a "may backfire" comment right after my first sentence.

This is correct but this comes with a unfortunate side effect. If no one checks your income, you can do something which is called "Untervermietung". Basically, you let the apartment while it is on your name and you make a profit (Airbnb) [0]

> you need to have had the virus to become naturally immune

According to oft cited data early on, many people were naturally resistant (perhaps not immune) from similarly packaged (viral envelope) coronaviruses with less dangerous infections, including a 2019-2020 season variant of the common cold.

I don't see those articles anymore. It was also supported by data (and cited by clinicians including at the Mayo Clinic) that folks with current MMR vaccinations and the tuberculosis vaccination given in India tended to test as resistant.

Anyway, just data points from real medical data at a research institute of international reknown not cited...
Sure, pure mathematical theory has a tendency to become useful later, but finding specific Mersenne primes is not pure math.

It’s not known if there is an infinite number of Mersenne primes (though it is strongly suspected) - so an interesting mathematical object to discover would be ‘the largest Mersenne prime’ - but this process isn’t going to find that (it might find a candidate but it won’t find a proof). If there are indeed infinite Mersennes then this search is just guaranteed to keep finding more forever.

It’s like looking for green pebbles on a beach. It’s nice when you find one to add to your collection, but it’s not that surprising, and if you keep looking you’ll probably find more. You’re not advancing geological knowledge if you keep looking and finding more.

PoW is a closed feedback loop system. Doing PoW yields you a reward, that reward pays for energy, that energy runs your PoW. If PoW yields you anything other in addition to normal reward - for you as a miner the only rational thing is to run more PoW with it to get more rewards. That in turn will simply bump the difficulty such that any additional benefit yielded will match the additional required energy expenditure to get the reward.

This is basically it; the normal mechanisms don't work properly, and nobody in the mob has any faith that engaging with any formal process is going to achieve a result, so they complain in public.

(This specific incident sounds like a storm in a teacup, but there's far more serious and less visible problems with racial discrimination in academia)

Similar to #metoo. Reporting sexual harassment, assault and even rape quite often isn't taken seriously by either employers or the police. And in the entertainment industry there was a tacit understanding that reporting it would be a career-ending move. So the route that people have started taking is to complain publicly, in an attempt to shield themselves from retaliation and compel the system to address the complaint.
