My biggest complaints with Windows are the spying on users, the forced updates on users, the registry still existing, and the NTFS file system still being the primary file system.

The kernel is actually likable but would benefit from being open source and the GUI is a horrible blend of touch screen and legacy input hybridness that I wish never existed.

Profit.

YouTube has struggled to make money.

I think they’d be obliged to change the name every six months after the acquisition when they hire a new department head. Obligatory 15x price hike will also he implemented with no notice like Google Maps.

If you are in the USA and have capital gains look for an opportunity zone investment. Incredible new upside of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017.

* defer your capital gains that you owe today * pay no capital gains on any returns if you comply with terms of opportunity zone investments (10 year holdup of capital requirement) * earns a 15% discount on your original capital gains taxes owed

No supermarket has had the scale and market share as Amazon.

That makes their business practices fall under increased scrutiny.

It’s likely akin to an 85 year old today caring about schematics for a Model T.

There are still people who do.

As will manufacturing in Asia.

They turned down buying Google.

Zuck smartly buys his competitors.

KYC is an awful thing for user experience.

Expect it moving forward.

Google had “Do no evil”

Zuck had “I’m CEO b!tch”

One is much more likable than the other.

It’s also free.

I know plenty of companies charge members to belong to private Facebook groups.

Great business for the group organizers while it lasts.

The Reboot team?

In some ways I’m glad in other ways it’s sad to see many considering a locked down device as an option for software development. Maybe it’s a good learning solution.

Hopefully it never takes off as more than that.

NYC user here as well and no credits either.

The current 25% off discount on Lyft makes it tough to even try Uber at the moment.

Don’t forget the rapid and severe Google maps price increases. These are the gift that will keep on giving for Microsoft and Amazon in the mindshare of developers and business leaders.

Incredibly stupid move.

Microsoft does seem like a logical buyer...

Hopefully New York permits them to operate in the city despite recently limiting the number of ride sharing drivers.

Having lived in a home and in high density high rises I couldn’t disagree more about the perspective that it’s a downgrade.

24/7 doorman means someone to sign for packages.

A community of people who presumably are in your socioeconomic class will be living with you. These are folks you can interact with and depending on your stage in life you may potentially do business with, befriend, start children’s play groups with, or even date/marry.

Big communities tend to have nice amenities that you’d only find in a country club all inclusive.

Maintenance of the high rise unit is often included in the fees or rent.

These communities tend to get better access to interconnect technologies like fiber.

There will tend to be more options for healthy foods, increased opportunities for walkable restaurants and other forms of entertainment as the population density of the area increases.

And more...

Basically, my preference 10/10 times would be to live in a high density tall building over a single family home in a neighborhood.

We believe that our solution can automate the work Doctors do with microscopes.

This isn’t limited to one parasite.

We can provide a demo today of our robotics that can automate these tests.

Shameless but relevant plug.

I co-founded a startup with Mark Plaskow earlier this year to help make hematological analysis including detection of parasites more accurate and affordable. Mark has been doing image based detection of parasites for years and is published here: https://malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/14...

There are various issues with capturing images of this quality level in the field. It’s something we have made a lot of progress on.

We hope our devices can have an outsized impact in these regions.

If anyone reading is interested in our work we have a teaser page live at http://www.paean.io and can be reached by email using info@paean.io

Microsoft has been doing a lot to rebuild itself as a cloud provider.

IBM has been doing a lot to go out of business.

Microsoft's first CEO is still chairman and helping lead the company even from the sidelines.

IBM is a floating raft of failed leadership.

Microsoft isn't trusted fully by the community but they are making inroads under their new CEO.

IBM has been firing its most senior people in an effort to slow its cash burn and to hire younger folks. IBM also claims it's also to bring on folks with more relevant skills to emerging technologies. I think there is a lawsuit about this.

Anyway, IBM has done nothing in recent years to show they are a true contender.

If the Redhat team is able to pull a Next here and assume leadership roles inside of IBM this could be stellar. Big Blue's formidable sales team and reputation with a great product line overseen by passionate people would be powerful.

If the IBM existing leadership team emerges as the winners here it will likely continue to fade into irrelevance.

To me the moral of this story is that advice is just that, advice. There are always exceptions to every rule.

Celebrities of all kinds are nothing more than brands. People are fans of brands. People go crazy for Apple products in the same way they go crazy for sneakers that Kanye puts out.

John Draper (Cap'N Crunch) has been very sick in recent years. I was following his posts on Facebook till he removed himself from there. Here is an old article about it:

What unfortunate timing for this poor guy who is now forever captured having dissapointed his client: http://vncroulette.com/images/14.97.72.37.jpg

When I see something like this posted on the Internet I am reminded of a quote attributed to Socrates by Plato:

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise."

Every older generation tend to view the younger generation as a problem.

VLAN's and Virtual Appliances in the same environment as the guest machines to facilitate routing should allow for scale without costing these virtualization providers too much.
