> Without a clear growth driver, Microsoft went on the defensive against the rest of FAMGA in the late 2000s: Bing, Skype, Surface, and Windows Phone were reactive moves.

Eh, Surface shouldn't be in this list, its from the 2010-2020 decade:

> Microsoft first announced Surface at an event on June 18, 2012, presented by former CEO Steve Ballmer in Milk Studios Los Angeles. Surface was the first major initiative by Microsoft to integrate its Windows operating system with its own hardware, and is the first PC designed and distributed solely by Microsoft. [1]

Zune, however, belongs to this list. Along with a plethora of other products. They were each ways (or 'hobby projects') to move profits from Windows/Office in different markets. Many of these failed, or had only marginal success at best.

Windows Phone is just the (failed) successor of Windows Mobile. It was an attempt to develop a capacitive touch-based OS and range of devices (Lumia) but it flopped because of two dominant market players with no market share gained.

Linus Tech Tips [video] - topic is lost data
People knowledgeable enough to make something like this function would likely not be willing to do something this niche for free.
Eh, no. Thank you for that. But that's not what I found when I searched.. Strange. I found this:

In fact the mRNA vaccines that are current heroes were way down on the list of ones anyone expected to work. They had only a small amount of experience compared to other ways to make a vaccine that had been used for years. However we made a big bet on them. Sort of like going to the casino and betting on every number at the same time just to say you were a winner.. very inefficient use of money, but the goal of winning was important.

>You feel all client software will be suitable?

Of course not. There will be more advanced software for expert users that allows them to manually create potentially riskier transactions. That's perfectly fine.

Client software targeting end-users should have such checks.
I used to have a Neon many years ago that had the up-and-down adjustments for the seats - and it was all manual. You just turned a knob on the side at the base of the lever that allowed you to recline.

EDIT: It was still a tight fit for tall folks, though. In that particular car, the adjustment mostly helped short folks see better.
This is a major reason I’ll probably never buy a Tesla. I do not want my car to connect to the manufacturer via Internet nor have anything complex enough to justify over-the-air updates. (I also feel similarly about most home appliances.)
Not always. Bureaucracy can also result from a risk-averse culture.
People that know things are unlikely to accidentally do this. Unfortunately AWS accounts come with default VPCs that only have a public subnet, so unless you know what you are doing you are likely launching all resources with a public IP and likely allowing too much in your SG.
> Is this because you type a lot of Greek (or math)?

Just regular math, where greek letters abound. A colleague mocked me because I was "still" writing \varphi instead of φ, so I learned to type the greek letters directly.

In LaTeX you would write 2πif, in a "LaTeX calculator" as yours I'd expect to be able to do so!
I've spent the last 20 years working remotely, and 10 of them traveling/living in cities, towns and villages in South America, Europe and Asia. I've been happy to see talented locals get better jobs working internationally and boost their incomes. I've never once been concerned with being displaced by some tidal wave of offshore workers. Here's why:

* You, as a native English speaker, familiar with American business culture and someone with years of experience in the field are always going to be paid an order of magnitude more than someone just learning the ropes.

* You can, if you want, outsource your tasks to other people wherever you are.

* You understand that this luck, this privilege, is not going to last forever, because ultimately these jobs will equalize out around the world. And it's right and fair that they should. So you take the advantage you have now and you parlay it into securing something for your future.

The inequality between an American who can live like a king on $200k a year working remotely in a village in Brazil, and a local kid who's learning Javascript there and making $1k a month, is going to even itself out. And that's a good thing for efficiency, equality, and the global economy as a whole. All you have to do is be on the right side of it, ride the wave while it lasts, pass on some knowledge, and by the time they're fantastic at taking your job over you'll be 20 years ahead all over again. There's no reason to feel insecure or guilty about it. The global south is not behind America because America is trying to restrict education there. America does plenty of damage to its own educational system, but it needs skilled workers abroad. The global south is behind America because it hasn't fully shifted from economies of community to economies of scale. That's a multi-generational change. Not to be blunt, but it's plenty of time to become an owner rather than a worker.

This is exactly what I wanted to do. This idea has been sitting on my sideproject to do list for a while.

I know the cliché is that there are too many web frameworks. But give it a shot. Don't ask others people to use it, make it opinionated and use it yourself.

I want to build this blog generator using python, markdown, jinja and 'chose a classless css yourself'. Jinja is the templating engine, it is super fast and fun to use. If I weren't procrastinating I could ship it under a week. But I think it would be a fun project to do in Typescript if I ever decided to learn it first!
The link says techcrunch.com but uMatrix is stopping me from getting to it because it's trying to go through guce.advertising.com first. Weird.
Zoom and Slack are defacto standards which have similar issues as O365 and Google.

That said, I love Numbers. It has some features like easy to use formulas right out of the box. I'm not able to do it that quick/easy with any other spreadsheet product.

However, given I don't use Mac on work as now, I'm bound to Microsoft Office and Microsoft Excel.

Not just your country, Nothing throws spotlight on how wonderful capitalism has become(/s) like checking out health insurance industry in almost every country without a socialized health-care. Okay may be private-prisons would come close second.

I get denied health insurance policy itself due to my physical disabilities against the local laws and regulations in my country[1]. That includes major International brands.

How can I put this gently, capitalism thinks I'm not worth living or saving.

Linus Tech tips explains what has gone wrong and now they come to lose the data. What has caught my ear is the moment the fact that at somewhere around 2 minute mark into the video he says that they have nevere hired a full time IT person.

That still doesn't remove the tax they put on developers who release for Xbox by not supporting Vulkan there. But I agree, their lock-in was eroded pretty well in the recent times through tools like Wine, Proton, dxvk, vkd3d-proton and etc.
I agree with you big time. This is hopefully something we'll see addressed by smart contract platforms in the coming years or decades.

Clearly Ethereum is far from a ready product, but I think we can expect to see massive improvements when proof of stake goes live this year.
I've also created an extension for Fava that does something similar. It's still early days but already very useful.

Much more abstractly, even if everyone had perfect motivations, it's science's role to be progressively less wrong over time by invalidating faulty hypotheses/theories but almost never to be conclusively correct. Any claim that we understand how or why something works should be taken with a mountain of salt. Claims that a certain observation were made are usually much closer to actual science than any claims of a conclusion.

For example, Aristotle (generally a very influential and intelligent man) believed scallops emerged spontaneously from sand because of the limits of what he could observe back then. The observation itself wasn't wrong as far as the absence or presence of visible scallops, but what he didn't realize was that there was an entire system that he couldn't observe with the tools at his disposal, and this ignorance lead to an incorrect conclusion.

Even Isaac Newton, who forever changed the world with his work on physics and calculus, was an alchemist as well and had some weird ideas about how to treat the plague of 1665-1666 (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jun/02/isaac-newton-p...). These were also born out of observation and Newton just doing the best he could with the tools he had at the time.

Overall, I believe it's both important to believe in science and scientists (even in the face of those cynically exploiting the system), but also to realize that even at its best, scientific information is ultimately about observations, not the ultimate truth of systems, even if that's the unattainable goal of science.
Is there a central universally trusted authority that decides what is disinformation? Is actually having such authority a good thing?

Note that I am not saying disinformation does not exist. I am saying that deciding what is disinfo is often difficult. In that light I think it is better to not limit information and instead of censorship fight it with counterarguments
This comment would have been more apt a decade ago, but we've already seen a substantial correction and changes to the 'rules' in response to the replication crisis. There's an explosion in the amount of shite published in garbage tier predatory journals but most of that is noise that isn't making it into any decisionmaking
You are showing Tesla interface from 2012. Do you want to compare it to Audi UI from 2012? Even on your screenshots "Back" button is absolutely awful on Audi.

Edit: By "awful" I mean not just how it looks, but also how it works.
This works well until your last resort brand just follows the trend.

For instance, I'd bet getting stick shift in a new car in 15 years would cost the price of a Ferrari. That's what it would mean to "vote with your wallet".
I think for the original poster complaining about not being able to switch was because of integration between the different tools which they find too useful to forego. Thus, while free open source solutions will be useful for many people they seem unlikely to be able to fix the issue that is keeping that particular user from switching.
I don't drive planes nor busses. I'm a passenger: The back seat(s) of passenger cars are often fixed too. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the bus driver's seat is powered.

I do drive cars, though, and sometimes other people's cars. I'd much rather be able to adjust while driving so that I can have better control over the car than have to fumble with levers, which might propel me back far enough that I cannot brake. Heck, I might have been having to adjust because I didn't realize how far i needed to press the brake in the first place.
So, you don't think an extra EIGHT MILLION people choosing disability payments over working is a significant factor in inequality?

> so it's really not feasible for me to even consider taking welfare that would be conditional on me not having a job or earning any additional income

You can still be setting yourself up in business. It takes a while before a business generates income. You could also use the time to upgrade your job skills so you could re-enter the job market at a higher pay level.

But I do admire your honesty there. I expect a not insignificant number of people would take the check, and have another source of income off the books.

There is a good reason for complex bureaucracy. Nobody likes the time it takes and other bad points, but it exists to ensure things are done right so people don't die as we make the same mistake again. Often we have too much and so it prevents good and useful things, but there is a reason and all talk of eliminating it needs to be about the tradeoffs

But they don't capture them to develop against their frameworks. I liked WPF, but their APIs were clearly influenced by business decisions like forcing software into their store, especially in UWP.

I am not yet if they are a reliable partner to invest time in. Apple uses such a model, but then why would I use Windows if it just morphs into a worse clone of it? I dislike that model and believe it is extremely bad for digital/technical education.

Those that use open systems with software freedom will shield others from the worst exploits MS or Apple might come up with in the future.

VSCode is indeed nice. Github is ok.
Those are unsubstanciated statements about domains you know very little about.

These days science is so specialised and lacking narrative that you can reach PhD level without any notion of what's really going on in your field, and even less into others.
I'm surprised that so many comments talk about "too many draws in classical chess problem" as just yesterday we just finished Tata Steel that was a terrific tournament with plenty of decisive games (84 out of 182) and even most of the draws were thrilling games. During commentary, GM Naroditsky mentioned that he asked past World Champions Anand and Topalov about influence of Magnus Carlsen on the game and both responded with "people have stoped offering draws in many different types of positions where 10-15 year ago they would shake hands and go home" [1]. Additionally modern computer analyses show that even dead drawn positions can be won if opponent makes slightest inaccuracy and players do try to capitalise on that often.

Maybe World Championship matches format needs some tweaking. Draws are much more common there as losing one game can easily mean losing whole match and players are extra cautious.

I also did my own SSG, what it basically does is that it adds header.htm and footer.htm to each file in the folder... I first used server side includes (SSI), but often ended up having to edit all files because I needed to make a change in the SSI code. With the SSG I can just re-generate all files.
You could make a real RandomCoin, but since you can't change the price, you could add random transactions to the chain. Jokes like this seems to make people billionaire these days.
Agreed and also a very fristrating thread to read. Seems like most HN people are Silicon Valley or startups?

It goes like this:

- Company is has IT in the 90s and 2000s. They have computers and a LAN and WAN. They use Windows. To manage Windows, Active Directory is needed/used. So Windows Server is also used. For email, the use Exchange. There is just no alternative because you want users to use the same account in the AD.

- Company starts virtualizing their DC with VMWARE later on, but stuff is still on-prem.

- In 2010 Office 365 comes out. Makes sense to have Office 365 host your email and Office as you are already on on-prem Exchange. So they migrate over the emails.

- When Azure comes out, it makes sense to move to that too. Your IT admins already know Microsoft. And you can use your Windows Server licenses etc.

Now if you are starting a brand new company in 2020, sure, use gsuite, notion or something else.

But its gonna be hard to switch over.

And this is not Tech debt. The stack actually works really well.

The only thing is that Teams is pretty heavy as a client, but its amazing in how you can just use Teams for an entire day as its integrated with SharePoint and OneDrive so all documents etc are there.

>When you say you are no longer highly 'pro science' would you say that you would rather people take advice from scientists or from people who have a background of "Ultimate Fighting Championship color commentator, comedian, actor, and former television presenter".

I would prefer that the general public take advice from scientific researchers with a grain of salt, with an understanding that the system is far from perfect and much of what is published either contains methodological flaws that lead to false conclusions or cannot be reproduced at all.

I also think a little bit of common sense would go a long way.
I'm not a mathematician so I don't know if my reply here has any impact either. I don't understand the + in the first reply! It's an addition of vector spaces, but I'd have to go look up into definitions or subject material to understand what it means..

On the note of notation, mathematics repurposes notation all the time, hopefully in a way that helps the person reading to understand by analogy or at least not be mislead by the ananlogy.

You said M/L and the / I think of then is quotient group, but that's apparently not what it means (I wouldn't know without reading it in context).
> We're also living in the world where certain governments are mandating vaccines that pose 50% higher excess risk of myocarditis compared to an infection[1].

If everybody else takes a vaccine it is almost always far safer for you not to take it. Vaccines help society by stopping illnesses spreading, they just need enough people to collectively accept the personal risk for the good of everyone else - the same was true for Polio, TB, measles.

Once the chip shortage happened, partially due to geopolitical reasons, that changed everything. The West/US will never fully rely on a single point of failure again no matter how hard the HBS MBAs and Chicago thinking push it to trim and be "efficient". Some industries are too important for other industries and leverage on that over those areas is too risky and costly now.

I'd pay double right now for GPUs directly from the source, not from some sketchy third party.

Right now our EV/auto, space and even AR/XR industries as well as gaming and everything that requires chips, we are at the mercy of an external market that has a slant against the West. It will take some years to get out but we'll never not expect that in the future again. If costs go up costs go up, but availability should never be allowed to be used as leverage again, that is too risky and too costly long term.

Availability that is reliable is always more important than efficiency or cost, because right now lack of availability is costing lots of extra time that has the potential to lose entire industries, that is not acceptable in any way.

Very little margin and too much optimization/efficiency is bad for resilience. Couple that with private equity backed near entire market leverage monopolies/duopolies/oligopolies that control necessary supply and you have trouble.

HBS is even realizing too much optimization/efficiency is a bad thing. The slack/margin is squeezed out and with that, an ability to change vectors quickly. It is the large company/startup agility difference with the added weight of physical/expensive manufacturing.

The High Price of Efficiency, Our Obsession with Efficiency Is Destroying Our Resilience [1]

> Superefficient businesses create the potential for social disorder.

> A superefficient dominant model elevates the risk of catastrophic failure.

> If a system is highly efficient, odds are that efficient players will game it.

Hopefully that same mistake is not made in the future. It will take time to build up diversification of market leverage in terms of chips for availability. Hopefully we have learned our lesson about too much concentration, with that comes leverage and sometimes a "gaming" of the market.

This chip shortage, and all the supply chain problems during the pandemic as well, will hopefully introduce more wisdom and knowledge into business institutions that just because things are ok while being overly super efficient, that is almost a bigger risk than higher prices/costs. Competition is a leverage reducer. Margin is a softer ride even if the profit margins aren't as big.

> It will be the end of political divisions.

Ha, you wish but it won't happen. We will just divide ourselves in a new way. Which algorithm to use.
This point of view assumes any decision can be scientifically determined as optimal. In reality most large-scale decisions are tradeoffs, you pull from one side and another starts to crumble. Recent example: you introduce lockdowns and reorient hospital care towards COVID, and more people start dying from cancer due to missed checkups.

Such decisions are value-driven, and cannot be replaced by an algorithm. That’s what we have politics for.

The main difference is that business organizations tend to be more authoritative, but that already changes towards more balanced organizations that actually debate on their values.
