The "Deep State" is just inertia.

It is only because America has elected a +radical president has this become somewhat apparent. But the inertia is democratic as it represents the democratic process and accumulation.

It is especially important when you have edge-case of a president wining, but with 46% of popular vote and 26.5% of the potential vote.

The "Deep State" being the actual institutions of law and governance is actually what makes democracy sustainable.

I disagree. Microsoft in terms of products under Nadella has been largely a continuation of Microsoft under Ballmer. Inside the company things will be different, but in terms of actual output the company has become much more risk-averse.

And Tim Cook is far from destroying Apple.

I would argue that people feel "a developer is absolutely about his technical ability" but when you look at it you will find that this is a feeling rather than something which is in any way quantified as hinted at in article.

Very rarely does management decipher a developers problem solving skills, or rank the quality of code or rank eagerness to learn for example ..management does not do this.

What they do is judge "good team members" (and is that developer nice to me is very important) and "can they trust" which and goes back to "frequency of positive interactions" / "how often do you have do deal with issues".

In the real world being a good developer is not about programming ability. A great programmer needs to absolutely engage in managing perception in the everyday working environment.

The reasoning is if programmer A addresses issues 2X as fast as programmer B.

Then as things average out programmer A will generate 2X more issues than programmer B all else being equal.

Managers, clients and fellow programmers will almost always see programmer A as a problem and programmer B as a hero in this situation.

It's not just tech good which are getting ~20% price increases but general goods like food, DIY, curtain and everything really, as companies start restocking they have no choices but to increase prices.

Upgrade your staffs ;)

Lol you could always have done this by setting the command prompt properties -> since at least 3.51 ;)

He used it in the context of "Trump" not "Republican's"

I have a feeling that this explanation overly complex, more like liberal self-beating and giving far too much credence

Simply those who voted for Trump feel like victims of "something"

And despite having won "everything" I have the feeling that they will still feel like victims of the undefinable "other" in the up and coming loooong years..

What we actually need is good _independant_ firewall vendors.

It is not enough to focus on the telemetry giant corporations like NVIDIA or Microsoft while forgetting about all the P2P software being installed by game's vendors and "telemetry" of software smaller vendors.

On big computers/pcs the default mode makes the user give up too much control _forever_ once the software its has been installed. Most software only need to be doing anything when your actually using it.

What we need is not opt-in checkboxes from vendors, what we need is the operating-system level software to be better -> where our explicit permission is needed to "allow" some kind of activity like transmitting over the network or detecting my location.

It seems to be quite opinionated

it would be interesting to know more about how the graph is formed, and how it avoids "gaming" the engine

the probase link is giving be a 400 error

I hate (for fear of the backlash) to ask but what is the problem with Windows me and my colleagues frequently run it for weeks non-stop on desktop. On the server-side it just runs without any issues like any other os..? i see comments like this and genuinely wonder ...

I think 10gb is quite a lot of data for any database system, well at least it used to be!

Yes?

I'm interested in the arguments against immigrants who have nearly nothing and little-formalised skills.

Historically is there any information on the quantities of migrants who have migrated to the USA with highly-formalised skills, or who are already wealthy vs. those who arrived with nearly empty pockets.

The problem with this conspiracy is that you can't install Windows 10 on the machine either ...

The version of linux he used does not have the right drivers! simple.

The still picture faces look better with Pix ...

They are using face-tracking and stabilisation around the faces in the videos which look's odd to most people because we definitely are not used to seeing this and probably disturbs our brain neurons which have not evolved in any way to compute this..

Human's are rarely rational in a way that could be understood to be accepted as absolute, we are overwhelmingly emotional creatures just like every other creature in existence.

So if a young person displeases you, then all such young people will be simply marked as a threat +1 by your brain

lol the USA is #1 at Soccer

Unless you can show absolute numbers, you can't call it a "dip".

Like many in various industries there has been a huge push to support mobile, and thus the effect the larger % of the population who use mobiles vs pc's comes into effect

I've been using Windows 10 since it came out too. I tend to have everything on default settings and deliberately allowed Windows and Cortana to do pretty much everything automatically, i even have one on my computers on the fast ring...

I have downloaded Netflix, Audible, tubecast and a whole bunch of other apps from the store

and so far, all is good. fingers cross ;)

I'd be interested to know, how easy is it to actually break the hash of the password-code

the elephant in the room,yes : with these master-password schemes, why does this get so little comment

I'm not sure what kind of developer can't cope with switching operating systems.

I actually have a harder time using OSX than Windows, but that just because I spend far more time using Windows.

Is silly to just condemn something blindly just because it isn't OSX.

Zerohedge seems to be a bit sensationalist:)

- 1 YEAR AGO, as GAAP: Microsoft reported a $2000 millions in losses

- TODAY, as GAAP: Microsoft reported $3000 millions in profits

YET the story is spun negatively in terms of GAAP, and people will follow that negativity despite having the data literally in their faces!

In this case, what wall street takes into account is Microsoft progress in the cloud, how many physical and virtual widgets they are selling and cost's control as well as currency fluctuations, taxes, etc...

I would say that it pretty clear the iPod completely turned Apple around, but importantly it was the excellent execution in the social space, on the software front and follow through with the iPhone (new hardware), this is a rare event and is what differentiates the Apple of that time from other companies which have had a breakthrough product.

Haha! and a Shakespearean play is better understood by French in France than the English in England because its is there properly translated into language they can understand.

Indeed, Norweigen, Swedish and Danish are actually the same language, linguistically.

In this situation, it is said: a language is a dialect with an army and navy

The African-American crime rate is something like 2 time's the population rate.

The article data indicates that the fine rates are as high as 21 times the normal rate.

It does not look like the crime rate is enough to explain the fine rate.
