MsDev is very good for the developers because Microsoft is using it to develop Windows and Office. MsDev is a nightmare for the build group building very large applications. because, Microsoft is not using the recommended build process in MsDev to develop and deploy Windows and MsOffice.
Again, remember : WSL is only exclusively to be used in testing/development environment (so that devs can directly test linux binary ELFs without needing, e.g., a full blown Ubuntu VirtaulBOX VM image).
WSL is currently NOT to be used in production (keep it away from production servers - obviously those will be running some GNU/Linux flavor), otherwise such blow-in-your-face accident could happen on critical machines with critical data.
But some stupid shop is going to underbid you writing a thin layer on top of some free opensource code, and install/enable WSL behind the back. PHBs, dimwitted people masquerading as chief of cyber security, all the layers of CXOs, all bent "upon making the numbers" for the coming quarter to get an additional million dollar stock options all will claim that is the fair price for that module that faces the world from the landing page of corporate web site.
We have weakened the government to such an extent, it will not be able to help real citizens. All the hard won freedom and liberties are being given to corporations too. Religious belief, freedom of speech,... to corporations! Any foreign entity can start a corporation in America and instantly get all the liberties and freedom of American citizens, but they don't have the liabilities or responsibilities! It is insane what we are doing to the country by weakening our own government.
Who is going enforce the contract? Government? The one you have actively undermined in every election? Starve the beast! Starve the beast!! Now the beast is going to come and rescue you?
We have denigrated and insulted the civil service so much, meritorious people do not want to become civil servants. OK, OK continue to live in your theoretical world.
It is a for profit organization, it does what it has to improve profits.
All the people who derided "government service is always inefficient, and private companies are always efficient" should take a moment to understand what the private companies mean by efficiency. For them efficiency is delivering least possible goods and services for most revenue, maximize profits.
So next time some talking head starts a diatribe on government remember this.
People from the West might not find that sleeper berth all that comfortable. For someone who grew up in India, they are fine, even without air conditioning. Yeah, really, I think now, after 30 years in USA I too might not be able to sleep in it. But there are billions of people who would find that berth comfortable enough.
I always chained the small overnighter to some convenient seat post or something. Not some super strong chain or Yale/Chubb locks. Simple chain and a Godrej Navtal 5 lever lock, not even the 7 level forget the 9 lever. Just a tiny bit harder to steal that the suitcases of my fellow passengers;-)
We used to travel this route very regularly, almost every weekend. No 8 Madras Mail leaving Bangalore City at 10PM, arrives at Madras Central at 5:30 AM. Return by No 7 Bangalore Mail. Same times. 3$ for ticket and 1$ for the sleeper berth. I don't think Hyperloop is going beat that price. Overnight is so convenient once you get a sleeper berth. Would this route be profitable in Hyperloop level investment? Not so sure.
When I code, when I am typing function names or variable names, I am super careful about spelling and watch every letter. Somehow, as soon as I start a literal string or a comment block, the brain instantly switches off attention and I make typos.
I could easily see how taking away speed control is enough to let your mind wander.
How did this expression blind as a bat come about, I wonder? People must have noticed bats flying in and out of totally dark caves. How come they thought they were blind?
The Econ 101 is not meant for learning economics. In fact none of the courses in these top private colleges are meant to learn anything. All of them are for signalling. The graduates signal to the prospective employers they have the money to pay for 300$ text books and 60K$ tuition. This serves as a filter to throw away the unwashed masses.
After this it becomes easier to separate the free loading poor scholarship graduates and pick the legacy admissions and old money descendants. Then they get a free pass to enter CXO level job streams. One can do masters in marching band after bachelors in beer appreciation, still get to be the chief of cyber security in a major company.
USA has changed the law and now it is not first to invent, but it is first to file who gets the patent. So even if he can prove he invented it, he can not stop Google from patenting it. But when Google tries to enforce the patent, others can cite the prior art to get the patent invalidated. So the assistant prof has to wait for Google to sue someone, then he can step in and help the defendant with prior art.
The real root cause of the mess is that the banks want to be able to lend money before you think twice and change your mind.
That is why they want to lend first and ask questions later. If we put the onus on the lenders to prove that they actually lent money to the right party before they can initiate collection proceedings, it would fix lots of problems. The lenders will have the incentive to make sure the borrowers are really what they claim to be. Else they lose money.
In USA banks can lend to any Tom Dick or Harry claiming to be 142Mandak262Jamuna. Now 142Mandak262Jamuna has to prove he/she did not borrow the money. This is not how lending is done anywhere else in the world. If banks come dunning for money, I should simply be able to say, "Prove it, prove you lent money to me." They have to produce actual documentation showing it was me who took the loan.
Freezing credit lines does squat to stop the identity thieves from hijacking your accounts. They got social security number, driver license number and dates of birth.
In no place this should be considered "credentials". But the US financial institutions pretend these are secret passwords.
Regulatory filings show the three Equifax executives — Chief Financial Officer John Gamble, U.S. Information Solutions President Joseph Loughran and Workforce Solutions President Rodolfo Ploder — completed stock sales on Aug. 1 and 2.
Wait, that guy is named John Gamble? and he is the damned CEO?
Almost everyone says "freeze your credit". As though new credit lines are the only problem. Yes, it is atrocious fraudsters can use simple public info to steal identities. But this breach is worse.
Fraudsters can assemble so much of data, call the bank, ask for password reset and hijack an existing account. Before you can call back and fix the issue the money would be gone.
Exactly what the X-37B did during those four missions, or what it will do during the newly launched OTV-5, is a mystery; most X-37B payloads and activities are classified.
It is believed top officials of Russia and China already know what those activities are. We expect soon a Russian counterpart of Edward Snowdon to release the Russian government hacked documents and anonymous and WikiLeaks to publish it..... Just kidding. Not going to happen. They (top officials of all three countries) know. We will never know.
Ages ago, that is some 23 years ago, I was visiting a friend and watched his son, little Biswas playing Mario brothers on the living room set. Game sarts, and Mario is off and running. Runs down a passage, turns right, to the end of the passage and bangs his head on the wall 8 times. A gold bar pops out, he takes the points and runs away.
I asked Biswas, "How did you know there was a gold bar there?" "Easy uncle, (all friends of parents are called uncle/aunt by Desi kids) Just keep testing to see what happens, and you find out". "What!? Did you bang your head on each brick on that passage 8 times??". "32 times uncle, yes, thats what I did!". Mrs Ranjana Ranjan was proud her young child protege knew more than the graduate student!
Looks like young Biswas is all growned up now. Biswas Ranjan, the software architect and UI evangelist became the Guru of flat interfaces. It looks like. "Everyone click on every pixel 32 times to figure out what happens." "Next page is like next level. Each next page must be increasingly harder." "It ain't no picnic people. All web sites must be like Mario brothers."
It also offers a duo of 12-megapixel rear cameras, one with telephoto capability and 2X optical zoom feature. On the front, for the selfie enthusiasts is a 5-megapixel shooter. The dual-SIM capable Mi A1 smartphone houses a Snapdragon 625 octa-core SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage, IR blaster, a 3080mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner, modems for 4G LTE bands in its gold- and black-coloured thin, full-metal unibody form factor....

You lose immediately
They lose after some time
We all lose eventually
Government has been weakened so much, it can not enforce any of the consumer protection laws in the books. That is the problem.

I have no sympathy for Verizon. And I have less sympathy for people who venerate privatization as the panacea for all ills.

The key metric is mean time between spontaneous combustion.
Equifax disguised a music major as Chief of Security!

Dont forget "job killing". Every focus group research done by them have shown the value of that adjective. Always say job killling

The original brush heads for sonicare is outrageously expensive. As bad as the ink jet printer replacement price gouging.
