I am not hating Microsoft but WSL main purpose is to bring Linux compatibility as a secondary purpose to a primarily Windows usage. This is the case you need or want a Windows systems as your primary, but there is a subset of tools that work much better in Linux, but you don't need them as your primary set of tools.
Most distributions are built in mind of being your primary OS. Then running it in WSL you really don't get to experience all its real advantages.
I guess if a distribution maker may want to make a distribution specialized for WSL they could do that.
The government didn’t want to invest into a modern/proper IT infrastructure. I am sure such changes were brought up, but was probably rejected due to not solving an immediate problem at hand, or gone with the lowest cost budget because they didn’t want to hear the tech talk.
I think part of the problem, is they were looking for a single Shuttle Replacement, The Shuttle was an attempt to match our Science Fiction view on how a space craft should be. A multi-use device, designed to handle many different type of mission parameters. The problem with the design, is that it made to do many mission parameters but none ideal for the shuttle itself. It is like the first set of jets, didn't have adjustable seats, but were designed for a mans average height. That meant they couldn't find anyone who would comfortably fit in it, because very few people actually meet the price measurement of average.
The Shuttle was ahead of its time, perhaps we should revisit its ideas in 50 more years, where a lot of the engineering principals and designs may be easier to implement affordably and safely.
It has been a long time. The Shuttle Fleet, has been aging, and becoming harder to maintain. Also during a recession NASA is usually the easiest target to pick to cut. Because their services rarely cover any short term goal.
In may ways this brought to light companies such as Space-X who offer new approaches to space flight, that a government agency without any competitive priorities can maintain. We are OK with the Russians going bankrupt running their space program, because the only real reward is bragging rights, which isn't that much of a reward anyways.
That said, We need NASA or some other government space agency, because a lot of the real science that will have a long term benefit, will need big money, and effort put into putting devices with scientific equipment into space, vs. an electric car just because it seemed like a cool idea.
The thing is if you are selling software development software, people are going to push the limit of that tool, to do things you do not expect. Because if they do only what you expect to product to build, then chances are the program is already written.
Oracle if being a sticker on how one uses their tools, and too apt to sue them if their product became more successful, then the net of your tool, then chances are people are going to shy away from it.
Java isn't the only player, and other companies are much friendlier to new ideas.
Unfortunately, for most professional sports now a days, where everyone has near the same ability, the winners and looser are the ones who push the rules right to the line. This is quite literal for some sports such as tennis. Where the goal is to get the ball right on the bounds line, forcing the opponent to make a judgement call to return a ball out of bounds, or get a score if it is in bounds.
They may not share, but if they can sell their goods for less, then the poor countries benefit. Also if the countries can take advantage of these cheaper technologies that have a low barrier of entry. Then many of these countries can take advantage of that as well.
Are they going to go head to head against Google? No, but they will be able to use such technologies to help support other jobs.
Punishment may be used in justice, but justice isn't punishment. Justice doesn't mean breaking a law need to be punished. But it means the reason and circumstances for such actions should be evaluated. If such actions deemed to be harmful or needlessly dangerous then corrective action should be in place.
All too often, I see people taking the laws and rules, and hammering peoples freedom with them, where the intent or practice of such a law isn't practical or may be outdated.
If the schools would move all of its textbooks to the iPad it may offer some cost savings. Each Textbook (hard bound, color images, high quality paper) Probably cost $150 per student, for 6 classes a day would be $900 per student in books. if they can get the eBooks for $10.00 a piece then that would be $860 and would save $40 per student.
That said, I am not seeing a real benefit off of this, as stated the iPad are more prone to breaking, and you can return a book and reuse it for a decade. While the iPad you probably have to upgrade every few years.
Well none of us likes to be wrong. And how often when backed in the corner do we actually go to yourself. You know I am on the loosing side, perhaps I am wrong about this?
It is easier to say, the Majority is just dumb, or corrupt. Or if something you disagree with has traction, do we actually take a time to stop and think, why this is the case?
I know I don't do it as much as my brain tells me I should, My way of life shows, shows such an idea works, and it must be right, as I see others who don't follow it who falter. (While ignoring like minded people who falter as well)
For people to stop spying on us! Let the routers and switches do as they intend, no hacks or tricks to tee off data. If the data needs to go to server X then it should go to server X.
I know that is probably the dumbest thing you heard all day. But I wish they would find a way to make encryption secure and much more cheaper (Certificates are still a killer, in terms of ease of installing, and price you often need to pay for them, for the amount of actual validation they give you for it)
Yea basically. Usually the minority has strong feelings on any particular topic, but because they have strong feelings, they will be the most vocal about it.
I may not like pets with cute costumes, but I don't feel it is animal abuse. So I am more likely to ignore the topic all together. While the person who loves their pets in costumes will defend their position and show how the pets love the attention, while the people who feel strongly about it, will show how annoying the pets is akin to abuse. So any middle ground in the arguments are not getting the fair attention to the problem.
For 1% of the users? Being Drama usually is prevalent for people the ages of 13-25 (Any younger they really shouldn't be on the board, and not old enough for such type of manipulation, older are normally too old and too much to do to care about that type of crap) I would expect this for about 5% population causing 74% of the drama.
Actually Apple sites are tougher on Apple then many non-Apple sites. They like to see what competing systems are doing to see trends in the market, as Apple tends to be late to the game, but show up in style.
FaceID seems to be working fine for me. I find its limitations to be less then what finger print readers have. Trying to unlock the phone while your hands are sweaty, dirty, or have gloves. The Notches in the iPhone X screen has little to do with the FaceID, and more to due with the fact they could accomplish a non-rectangle screen with the OLED Display, Other Android phone with OLED Displays are using notches as well. Just because you can use that extra real estate for more information.
That said, FaceID isn't really that big of a selling point, I much rather point out faster processors, and better screens. Which is a back and forth game. The only reason why I havn't switched to Android, is because I want to keep my Apps. And the difference between the iPhone and the equlivlant Android is so minute, that I really just don't care. If I could move my Apps over to the Android, then when I am up for a new phone, and my current one is getting behind the times, then I would get one.
In many ways they are. There are cars with different brightness and high beam levels, they are positioned at different heights. I drive a small car. My lights do not get the same distance as a my wife's larger car. Because her car's headlights are about a foot further off the ground then my car, giving it a better distance. Then you have LED Lamps vs traditional which give a whiter light which sometimes messes with your low level vision vs a more yellow or reddish light.
Then you have the problem with High Beams. I rarely ever have a condition where I can drive more then a mile with them fully on because a car will eventually show up and you don't want to blind them.
We should also note the Safety Driver in the car, didn't realize she was going to cross as well, because she didn't give the non-verbal queue that she was going to attempt to cross. At least where I am at, there is a PSA encouraging rail safety. The PSA goes despite common belief a train will stop for an object in the rails... A mile after it hits it.
While self driving cars are probably statistically safer. We will need to change the laws so pedestrians do not in fact always have the right away.
If you are going with Windows Server, chances are you need Windows Server as the primary OS, because it is primary running a Windows Service (Say SQL Server for Application compatibility). But there are some things you may need Linux for and would prefer the Linux port over the windows port, say some sort of LAMP stack... Just as a secondary low resource web front end. So why bother setting up two computers when one will be good enough.
Having built a large company with a huge infrastructure. A set of regulations would probably hit a small portion of its budget, while having such rules in effect would raise the bar for any future competitors.
Imagine Facebook trying to fight off MySpace, if it needed to comply with so many regulations from the start.
Obviously, the fact that Cambridge Analytica was linked to Facebook was a grand mistake on their part. There shouldn't had been any connections to Facebook.
However it isn't a long term business model, as these fake accounts will not purchase from the adds. If someone is selling stuff on Facebook if they don't make money they will stop.
That was when they didn't have any sort of authority. They were straining to keep their product reliant while Netscape was on its decline. Which its work created Netscape 6 (The fifth version of Netscape) To keep up with IE 6. However it took too long to develop and Netscape had a few more updates and quietly went away... While Mozilla Moved to Firefox which was popular enough for them to start speaking out and being listened.

Come to mind. But they are old examples.
Most of the male tech leaders? Are not really tech leaders just CEO of big tech companies who are rather outspoken.
Most of the real tech leaders are in the background making meaningful changes and directing technology without getting any real notice (man and women)
However it isn't a long term business model, as these fake accounts will not purchase from the adds.
