If you "go on a diet" you are defeated before you even start.
.
If you want to lose weight, you have to go into the process with the goal of changing your lifestyle permanently, otherwise the weight will return when you finish the diet.
Go into the weight loss process with the right mindset - a permanent change of what and how you eat, along with any changes in your activity regimen.
The reason most people regain the wieght they lose on a diet is that they view a diet as something temporary, which it is.
Don't go on a diet (Hacker's Diet or otherwise), but do make a permanent change to your lifestyle.
Just wait until all those fitness trackers find out that keeping fit involves more than walking from the sofa to the refrigerator and back every hour or so. I wonder how "sticky" those fitness apps will be? After a year, what percentage will be still using them?
Who cares. If it can drive for six months out of the year that's still an improvement...
You make the huge assumption that people will still know how to drive. And, if they do know how to drive, that they will remember enough after six months of not driving to be able to drive safely in the winter.
.
People who drive year-round still have difficulties driving safely in the winter.
But these people who say that self-driving cards work, and who live in the wonderful, sunny climate of California, have to venture out a bit more and see what driving is really like.

Show me a self-driving car that could navigate the snow-choked roads of Boston this winter.
The "optional" Microsoft account is probably the main reason why I'll be staying with my Windows 7 PCs as long as possible. I've been testing Windows 10, and there are far too many areas of the OS that require a login to Microsoft in order to become functional.
.
With Windows 10, it's like I'm getting a half-functional OS if I choose to have a local account and not to log in to Microsoft.
Windows is a dying breed. Most of its usage is just old PCs in businesses trying to do what they have been doing for years. Is anyone really going to care about innovation that is based upon the Windows platform?
I've been getting routine expiration notices from NameCheap. They start a month before the domain is due to expire, and repeat as the expiration date nears..

I'm sure you can find one horror story or two or three about any business out there, some
of which may even be true and not planted by competitors. If you really "steer clear" of a business because of one bad review on the Internet, then you must not buy anything....;)
Here are a couple of reviews that use more than one data point:
I agree about NameCheap. Their customer service is nothing short of excellent. They also have great prices on SSL certs (and sell certs that are not Comodo-based, which for me is a big plus). The customer interface for your account is quite intuitive.
Is the conclusion truly justified by the data? Or is it just a coincidence in the correlation between the two data items, i.e., both items are affected by a third unknown variable?
.
You need to be very careful when sifting through data that you are seeing actual causality, and not just a coincidence that has occurred.

There's nothing to say that plans to use the camera may appear later today, tomorrow, next week or next month. If Hertz had not intended to use the cameras, they simply would not have put them in the vehicles.
If helicopters become commonplace over the skies of LA, will they still have the same preventative effects as they have now when their presence is more of a novelty?
You should look at OpenNTPd. Much, much easier to configure.
.
The config file on one of my servers has one line in it, the name of the server pool to sync to. With that one line config file, OpenNTPd syncs to the servers in the pool and does not open any ports for listening.
Even if OpenNTPd wasn't broken it's a very poor substitute for NTPD...
You say OpenNTPd has been broken "for years", yet do not say why or how. -1 for your efforts.
.
For my needs, OpenNTPd has been an excellent replacement for NTPD. I do agree that NTPD has some features that are not present in OpenNTPd, but my usage does not require those more esoteric features. What I do need is the ability to sync my server clocks within a few milliseconds, OpenNTPd does that quite well. And OpenNTPd does have one major feature that NTPD has lacked of late - security.
Software quality is representative of the environment that created it.
.
While audits are nice, what are the OpenSSL developers doing to change the development environment so that the new, [hopefully] improved versions don't revert to the security-challenged versions we've all come to know?
It's easy to change code, much less easy to change developer attitudes.

Yup, go on a diet and never go off that diet, i.e., change your lifestyle. :)

...they didn't gain control of an otherwise stock computer using heat over air gap. stop saying "hack"....
Stop saying "heat" as well. Heat in this context is nothing but low-frequency light.
.
So the headline should read...
Malware that was installed on computers uses light to send data to other computers similarly loaded with malware.
But that doesn't make for a page-hit-generating headline.

...Who in their right mind would design a medical system that synchronizes with anything other than the patient's own body rhythms? ...
If you need to understand how external stimuli affect a patient, you need medical event timestamps that are sync'd to an external agreed-upon clock.

So, yes, you did assume?
Do you assume they might have?

Does she want to / need to run the same software as her colleagues? If so, then the answer is an easy one.....
Is this article little more than more self-promotion in yet another attempt by Mr. Gates to have history view him in a better light?
... Just because the "platform" isn't "innovating" doesn't mean that people don't run nifty software on it....
I agree. When I asked if innovation in Windows was relevant, I was referring to innovation in the Windows OS itself, not the apps that run on it.

You should try to keep up. :)

Hopefully the ntp.org software fades away.
However, the Network Time Protocol should live on in more secure and more easily maintained implementations (e.g., NTimed and OpenNTPd).
