I use WSL (not linux subsystem for windows) because I like to use bash, especially when programming in python or anything. I work on macs and ubuntu at work and this helps keep everything standard for me when I use my windows stuff at home.
Why still use windows? First, I like to program in C#/WPF simply because it's the most enjoyable and richest feature set for building native GUI applications. Second, I like to play video games, and run them stable at 144 Hz, which for many games, isn't possible on Linux. Third, the MS Office suite of products is best on Windows, and really doesn't have a true competitor in terms of ease of use for someone like me. Fourth, almost every piece of software I use is also available on Windows, but the same can't be said of Linux.
I want to use Linux because I don't want MS to automatically restart my computer when it decides it while I'm using it and them gathering info on me is meh. On the same shake, you give away personal information to Google all day every day. Even if you don't use them as your search engine they're collecting data on you. If Microsoft wants to collect anonymous usage data, which you can tell it only to collect stuff that's pretty basic, in return for using their OS, then I don't see how I have room to complain without getting all up in arms about Google doing it 100x more.
As always, you just use the stuff that's best for you.
The idea that having a CS degree makes you a competent programmer is laughable... Those "deep" algorithmic problem solving abilities are what pay so much, and more important, and interest in them. My value to my employer has little do with any degree and mostly due to the fact when I was given a problem, I could identify why the current solutions had failed because I knew how computers work.
The majority of CS majors I know can't even tell you how a processor works on basic principles. It's just a black box to them, and when things fail like a stack overflow, they don't know what that even means.
If the NDA is really that strict then it likely won't be enforceable if they took him to court, which would defeat the purpose of the NDA to start with since now their shenanigans are public records which the app developer can share with everyone.
Two things to keep in mind when you interpret the results of this study:
1) the participants were undergraduates. 2) the reward involved was credit.
Your exclusion set is people older or younger than the university and those who would participate in a study for college credit. This may have a notable impact on the validity of the study, since those who don't need or care about the credit are most likely those who are studious and resistant to distractions, while those who would go out of their way to participate are more likely the type to need/want the credit.
Actually, you can. It's a common fallacious argument made by people who admit there should be restrictions on speech.
If you look under indictments for people who have said these things, there's no charge against "saying the wrong thing". But you'll find plenty about assault, threats to national security, or inciting public turmoil.
There aren't restrictions on the speech itself. You're also allowed to own a weapon, it doesn't mean you can legally walk around pointing it at random people.
In summary, there shouldn't ever be any restrictions on speech and there is no reason to.
To be fair, opiod epidemics are primarily caused by legal opiods which leads to opiod/heroin addiction.
This of course is done because pharmaceutical companies push doctors to sell as many of them as possible, and lie through their teeth that their drug really isn't that addictive. So the pharma companies are to blame for creating and marketing the drugs that put us in this mess, doctors are to blame for being idiots in prescribing medication that they should know is harmful and addictive, and patients should be educated that what they're being prescribed isn't something they should be taking.
In fact Ohio is suing pharma companies for this very purpose.
But a lot of the changes were for the best. raw_input has been turned into input, for instance. The last thing anyone wants is having a language with built-in runtime errors.
What if their server failed irreparably? What if some code went rogue and overwrote it? What if the server burns down because someone somewhere in the building left the stove on.
The CTO should be fired for total incompetency. You can have read-write access to database servers without having access to schema changes on the database. Personally, even though one of my creds actually gives me this access to some of our production databases, I never do it myself and always ask our admin to do it for me. This should be the default policy. Not even senior devs should be allowed to make schema changes on production databases without having limited credentials/sysadmin oversight.
He means Merck is price gouging it. So people will be riddled with medical debt (and governments), but don't worry, they no longer have cancer while they eat their ramen soup cups under a bridge.
Their hardware just plains pales in comparison to anything the PC market has to offer. It's not even about "what you can do for cheaper". You don't find Apple products that can run dual GTX 1080 TIs. Even a GTX 1050 ti (a $100 card) will put their Radeon 555 to utter and despicable shame.
And if it's all about thin and light, Nvidia's new Max-Q designs will satisfy you with underclocked GTX 1080s that will simply crush the MBP at the same price range while being nearly just as thin.
All of Apple's devices are made to feel premium without actually being premium. It's marketing at its finest.
Why would the other country care if it's been ratified by a congress that isn't theirs? That congress has no authority over the other sovereign state. What is the Finland going to do if Russia says, "Well we know we had agreement, but we're not going to honor it." Absolutely fucking nothing, that's what.
Any treaty between two sovereign powers is non-binding because the other can just ignore it if they REALLY feel like it without being held directly accountable by anyone except the other party, who must resort to punitive measures such as sanctions or military prowess to get what they want, which is what they do ANYWAY.
It's extremely easy to defeat by simply ignoring it by using a proxy and a stolen credit card bought for a handful of cents. Then are you going to prosecute the person with the stolen identity? Great, don't care.
This is what I thought up in all of thirty seconds. Actually put my mind to it and I'll defeat your "unhackable" system in ways you haven't even dreamed possible.
As always, executives are idiots who believe by implementing sophisticated algorithms and systems will defeat hackers. The reality is that anything can be hacked, and everything has a weakness, no matter how many resources you pour into mitigating it, because the more complicated something is, the more potential weaknesses that thing has.
Yeah, whatever happened to the good old days when Nexus phones were both cheap and GOOD. The new Pixel phone is a high end phone, this is a high-end phone. It's like, is anyone building solidly engineered practical devices anymore?
I'll continue to use my $200 Nexus 5x until something that can actually replace it comes along.

Wow.

There's no reason why peer review can't be done online en masse by all scientists. They could even rate papers on their credibility.

Prisons are such a money sink already.
That's correct citizen. Now step back in line and praise the great leader.
At that point, it's no longer capitalism.
If you read the study its exclusion criteria is so bad it can't consider the results anything other than exploratory.
All 30m people?
I'm pretty sure Google shutting down all service to Canada would cause more problems for Canada.
Not really.

I can also create oxymorons.
You could, you know, watch the video where they describe it.

None of those were best practices...
Best practices are like, "never auto-commit schema changes, always dry run them first".

Yeah, they were doomed to fail without backups.

You think that's where most of the money is going? Nah.

Name me a binding agreement between two countries, then.

How about freedom of fucking speech? It's in the constitution.
