This sounds like a great way of spinning a 10 minute delay in delivery time. 10 minute undo == 10 minute transmission delay to enable message batching and caching.
I think they should settle the issue with a good old-fashioned wrestling cage match. Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi could be the warm-up act, and the main event could be Lisa Su vs Jensen Huang. I know the girls are smaller than the guys, but I think the gals are fiercer. All in all, the card looks pretty even. A good time would be had by all, and we could pay down the national debit a little by the vigorish from the parimutuel betting pool.
Not to sound the hater, but MS has been promising quality since Windows 3.1 and has instead delivered a pretty veneer draped over a pile of compiled sludge. Any time I've programmed Windows apps, admittedly not since Windows 7, I've stumbled into shortcuts, hacks, slovenly cruft, and a general non-adherence to their own stated best practices. At this point, the onus of proof is on Microsoft to **demonstrate** quality rather than talk about it. Three or four updates in a row that that don't trigger showstopper bugs would be a good start. The world doesn't need another MS PowerPoint explaining the greatness of Windows 10: it needs a working Windows 10.
I have keratoconus in both eyes and very much agree with you in both regards: in theory, wonderful news, but extortionate $ and always another 10 years away. I keep hoping there will be a breakthrough and I won't end up old and blind.I'm willing to work with the old thing, but the blind part doesn't sound so good.
Not to be a smartass, but do we really want our best and brightest in the NSA? Whether you are politically left, right or agnostic, the surveillance state should be a serious concern for all those who value privacy and liberty. This isn't a Bush, Obama or Trump thing: this is an individual rights thing.
Proof positive that 20 years in an adult day care facility does not make one a genius. It also demonstrates that 30 years spent running an adult day care facility is capable of melting the brains of once intelligent men and women.
Most of the comments have been made by people who have never worked within the automobile industry and who hate the current process of buying a car. That's fine, but they're missing some important parts of the picture. The first unmentioned part is that the majority of deals involve a trade. As much as you think people hate buying cars, you will quickly discover that they hate selling their cars even more. Most people are entirely too lazy to prep their cars for sale, and are usually unwilling to invest in the repairs that will facilitate the sale of their vehicles. The second issue is that a huge percentage of the buying public has marginal to poor credit. The auto dealership essentially preps and polishes the credit application, and then finds a lender willing to buy marginal paper.
These two criteria eliminate about 85% of the buying public from purchasing directly from the factory. Really.
Bear in mind this is already done for medical recruits. You don't seriously think they make neurosurgeons undergo the rigors of basic training do you? When last I heard MD recruits had a 3 week familiarization course on military customs and courtesy.
As a survivor of the first bubble, followed by the SoCal Real Estate bubble, all I can say is that my BS detector is making loud whooping noises. A company is worth a a reasonable multiple of its earnings; nothing more. And reasonable doesn't mean 650x.

A very nice and thoughtful comment. Sometimes I come across more negative than I prefer, but a pet peeve of mine is speech designed to fold, spindle and mutilate the simple truth. Had the authors of the study chosen to use terms similar to your own, I would cheer them onward. Jokes about "dolphin sausage" aside, who can help but smile when around the animals?
Perhaps I mean to say that I like dolphins but dislike bunny huggers? Especially academic bunny huggers out to exploit public affection for the animals.
Some forms of communication are designed to transfer information; but others are designed to obscure or refract it. Phony terms like "co-create" do nothing to generate confidence in the legitimacy of this project.
Seriously, folks, why are we so eager to spread our dysfunction? Until we can manage the basics of sanity here on Earth, we have no business spreading to the stars. I'm not even talking about an idealised society of some kind; I'm just suggesting basic stability, justice and social order. Two thirds of the globe live in grinding misery,most of which is entirely preventable. I'd even go so far as to say that 85% of human misery is self-inflicted; the remainder is inherent in the human condition.
By any reasonable metric, social science has fallen abjectly behind "hard" science. In my view, this is because of the primacy of subjectivism and relativism in the humanities, but I'm certainly open to other explanations. I'm not opposed to space travel, even interstellar travel, which is almost entirely wishful thinking by the innumerate, I just think we should put our own house in order before we trash our neighbour's place.
One minor point of disagreement. I'm a fan of the pre-emptive reboot at specific intervals, whether the interval be 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days is up to you. In the past, I've found the pre-emptive reboot will trigger hidden system problems, but at a time when you're actually ready for them, rather than at a time when they happen spontaneously ( 2:30 in the morning ).

You, my friend, are an optimist!

Where are Sean Penn and Danny Glover now? Sigh ...
Very nicely put.

"A Companion to Hegel"
Hegel himself is very nearly impenetrable, so I'm using this book as something of a mental crutch.

Problem solved.
I too think this should be ranked higher.

Why is Windows monoculture bad and Google monoculture good?
Monoculture is monoculture.
I agree with your comments completely.
