They seem to say Windows 10 is essentially the embedded version here, so maybe just the core or something. If it was the full desktop version, I'm pretty sure it would struggle on it.

Since it's ARM, you also won't see any of the "full programs" you see on x86 platforms. Just some simple mobile apps.

I don't think it's a "Microsoft initiative". Many RPi competitors have already moved to quad-core Cortex A7 chips, so it's quite predictable. But I'm actually quite disppointed by this move from the RPI Foundation. They should've skipped straight to Cortex A53. Now devs will have to support ARMv6, ARMv7 and a year or two from now ARMv8 as well.
I would also like a response to that

> Land Value tax makes the rich pay a lot but hits the poorest really hard since the threshold to owning land (and creating wealth) is substantially raised.

That seems a bizarre statement. Firstly I don't see any connection between owning land and creating wealth. Secondly taxing land value is a deterrent to land ownership and should reduce the desirability of owning land and reduce the price of land. This will make it more cheaply available to productive use and reduce the incentive to hoard land unproductively. Finally the poorest cannot afford to own land anyway so are not affected by the land taxes.

Have I missed something?

BTW I largely agree about cheating VAT especially in a small country with neighbouring countries that can be cheaply visited.

So true; remove "online" from the sentence above and it's even truer.

> it's why we hugely and desperately and badly need to find another way of paying for content

Not sure about that.

Here are the ways I can think of we gain access to content:

- by directly paying for it (books, movies, etc.)

- by indirectly paying for it (ad supported newspapers articles and such)

- by paying for it via taxes (your proposal)

- because it's free.

The best content is undeniably that which people will specifically, directly buy with their own money[1].

And the second best is free.

All the other content distribution schemes produce bad content, either hollow or click-baity or just plain dumb.

My point is that AdBlock is saving the world.

> The U.S. is known as a low tax regime? They have among the highest corporate taxes in the world.

Nominally, yes, but the effective corporate tax rate is much lower [1]. US income tax is at the low end for the developed world, too (both nominal and effective).

The original script was called "Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine". It's possible that the writing team was influenced by the book, but there's no clear indication of that, and in fact the claim is that they were not really aware of the book until well into the process.

The universe and political system are depicted the way those critical of Heinlein likes to depict them, but largely because Verhoeven decided to make a "perfect fascist world" to satirise and criticise it, and Heinlein is often criticised for militarist viewpoints close to fascism.

The absence of the mech-armors stuff reflects this: He's mimicked nazism (the opening has shot-for-shop parallels to a scene from Riefenstahls "Triump of the Will"; the uniforms are modelled on the Gestapo; the architecture is modelled on Speer; the weapons are WWII inspired; the newsreel clips are mimicking WWII era propaganda movies) as he saw it growing up in nazi-occupied Netherlands.

Verhoeven is quoted as saying this about the book:

> I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring,...It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book.
Everybody obviously wants gross, but unless you are a big star that the studio really really wants you'll basically be laughed out of the room for even suggesting it. Realistically your options are 0.00% or Gross or a few points of Net. Given those options most people will settle for the net on the off chance it might be worth something at some point down the line.
Yeah. That is basically what happened with "I, Robot", but not, AFAIK what happened with Starship Troopers.
Yeah, I don't use FB login for anything else. I don't click FB Like buttons on other web sites. FB can't tell what you're reading on other web sites without your explicit action.
Speaking for me, it has nothing to do with philosophical principles like "keeping the web as a web of hyperlinked documents" or to use html and http as intended. Rather, it's using the right tool for the problem. Google Docs and Etherpad are word processors first and then document collections. A wiki is a document collection with the ability to edit. For a document collection, it's important that you can simply download, copy and crawl the documents. Of course this is possible with a SPA, but now your solving problems for your tool instead of the other way round.
I'm not sure that Google Trends is a valid metric for this conclusion. It shows both Windows and MacOS X have declining trends as well. Apparently iOS is doing gangbusters in Cambodia and Android is all the rage in Indonesia.

My father and brother bought lots of games, tools and BASIC/Pascal programming books, and both became quite expert at BASIC programming.

I started off just playing games, but pretty soon I wanted to write my own games. Thanks to all the resources already available, I picked up BASIC quite easily.

That's how I first learnt to code. Looking back, I realize that though there was no Internet back then, we had so many books and magazines that it was like a mini Internet. Any question I had, I usually found an answer in one book or the other. Ah, the good ole' days!

ANN: ClojureScript 0.0-2755, Browser REPL, macros, and incremental compilation
I didn't see anything in the parent's comment about GNU/Linux or FreeBSD on desktop PCs, nor was I talking about it on desktop PCs. The Raspberry Pi has always been meant as a learning device, a maker's toolkit, a base for building something other than a boring desktop PC. The fact that it now has the power to be a desktop PC doesn't mean that's all it will ever be.

One definition (the one I was using) of "flourish" is "to develop rapidly and successfully". I stand by that description; GNU/Linux and the BSDs have seen steady improvement and rapid development surges over the past few decades. If you're claiming otherwise, I'd say look at the server statistics across the Internet. Look at mobile phone operating systems. Look anywhere but the desktop, and you'll see Free and Open Source solutions far outstripping any offering from Microsoft.

I say, welcome to the party Microsoft. Again, one more channel for learning should be welcomed, not shunned because of old prejudices.
Beaglebone can be at least booted without non-free blobs, so it can be 100% free if you don't need to use 3D acceleration. Raspberry Pi cannot - even now with free GPU drivers, you still cannot get Linux working without providing non-free firmware blob to it first.
Sure, the link I had has FTP sites, with absolutely no login required.

What can you do with an FTP site? Host your own phishing site. Modify the owner's own webpages.

Related to this article: if you can narrow the addresses down to ones that also have these gas meters, then you can modify their website to say "Hey; free gas!" and mark their tanks as 'always full'.

The key take-away here is that there is a literal TON of unsecured sites and multiple ways that something bad could be done.

They mention on the raspberry pi blog that for now, the official userland is going to stay ARMv6, and through this year they will consider how to provide ARMv7 userland if at all.

I think this is awesome. For all the people that are complaining about not being open source and not friendly to hackers, the truth is probably most people that program Raspberry are not even using a native compiled language but are using Python. The people that want to hack on a kernel, can install Linux.

I am really excited about the prospect of Microsoft enabling writing and debugging for the Pi using Visual Studio. They already have the feature for android in the Visual Studio 2015 Preview[1] and making it work for Raspberry Pi on running Windows should be easy. With an excellent development environment and debugger, I think interest in C/C++ programming for the Pi will be increased as it will be more accessible.

This sounds too ridiculous to manage... The cost simply of controlling who is eligible for debt cancellation adds more burden on taxpayers. I think they'd be better off to calculate a debt cancellation eligible for everyone. Tax rebates for those who wish to donate their debt cancellation to others. In large: let the community decide what to do with their own tax money.
A website's job is serving up pieces of information. Helping me navigate that information is the browser's job. That's why we have amazing innovations like the back button, tabbed browsing, and bookmarks. Imagine a world where every website had its own buggy implementation of those.

Also, simplicity of core architecture leads to diversity of tools. If Google's first crawler had to execute JavaScript and make sense of single page applications, Google wouldn't exist today. So be careful when you encourage websites to become more complicated.

I hadn't realized they share so much. If this statement holds true for the upcoming Windows 10, then it's probably the very first time DirectX is running on any SBC. I wonder if Broadcom have made some changes to VideoCore GPU to support DirectX.

See, the intense irony in your comment is that you are effectively advertising your own content using exaggerated, overhyped claim. If you consider such actions to be a net negative for the society, you are a part of the problem.

I do not disagree with you on principle and your proposal has some merit. The thing is that advertising/marketing dicussion is much more multifaceted and complex than HN collective mind portrays it to be: "advertising bad! mmkay?". The nuances and the opportunities to enact meaningful, real change in the advertising ecosystem are lost when rational discourse is suppressed by claims like "99% of advertisers are bad". Good actors should be rewarded and bad should be discouraged economically. By lumping all of them in the bad bucket, you are encouranging detrimental behaviour.

Harmful,intrusive,obnoxious advertising is a symptom, not a disease. You can't get rid of such ads without changing the underlying structure of socioeconomic reality, at least for limited cluster of audience.
be patient. As I've seen the internet grow since the mid-90s, I've seen the patterns, the fits and starts, the changes that occur. This whole sponsored content stuff will pass. I can't tell you how or when, but it will certainly pass. Will probably have to get worse before it gets better though.

Spatch - London, UK - Full Time (CAN OFFER VISA / RELOCATION SPONSORSHIP) - DevOps, Front-end, and Back-end

We’re creating a new form of communication. Email is over 40 years old and doesn’t support many modern use-cases. Most messaging alternatives aren’t decentralized or federated. We think there’s an opportunity to create a modern, federated messaging platform with mutable, collaborative objects being at the heart of it (i.e. tasks, events, etc -- but the objects could be anything). What would happen if you took the best components of email (IMAP/SMTP), chat (IRC/XMPP) and collaboration (Wave)... and created a federated platform and new set of open protocols around it? That’s what we’re building. Spatch is backed by some of the top US and European venture capital investors. Spatch is an equal opportunity employer.

Raspberry Pi 2 actually seems suited great for Windows 10 as Raspberry Pi is not a true open source device(Broadcom proprietary blobs abound).

Most importantly Raspberry Pi is a friendly device which managed to really manage the market(press/public) perception just right despite the delays and early failures.

Same goes for Windows 10, definitely not open but friendly and the price is right in this case.

I wonder what the redistribution license will look like. Most stuff I've used a pi for have been "copy image to flash card, install flash card, boot and run" not running apt-get or make install type commands from the console. (I'm installing an octoprint box this week, sometime, bye bye repetier-host) Historically microsoft has been a little displeased with people redistributing their software.

Another issue little discussed is the intense PR campaign that it's only useful for education despite it being a pretty good generic appliance. I've never used one for education and have zero contact with that small subculture. Most pi users are using it as a low power small solid state replacement for "pull that old used desktop and slap linux on it" I wonder how the PR campaign that its an educational device will be enforced at the OS level, perhaps a watchdog timer will reboot it every hour or it'll be DRMed to heck and back requiring signatures for all executable software or who knows what could be implemented to ruin it for hobbyists without significantly impacting the edu market.
