Scientists might as well be practicing religion for all that it matters to non-scientists. So, it comes down to trust. Unless you're going to do the science yourself, you have to trust somebody. Also, despite mainstream scientific cons

Meh. Some people act like anybody who has ever called themselves a "Scientist" has never been wrong or that mainstream science has never been wrong. It has. Many, many times. Unless you're taking the time to do the science yo

You mean like when Hillary Clinton repeatedly invoked the existence of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" against her and Bill back in the 90's? Yes, that was comical. Anyway, pizzagate is a well known hoax. Does that somehow can

Why? Because of all the reasons most people switched away from Firefox to Chrome to begin with... Firefox is slow, klunky and the UI is deplorable. Mozilla and also hates native platforms and therefore Firefox doesn't respect my OS. Fo

Right, "conspiracy nuts". Because there has never been a conspiracy ever anywhere.

OK. Explain yourself and your interpretation. I don't know what it is... Starting with his first comment here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13444512 Is that a complaint or a suggestion? He is saying that it wa

OK, but... Off != Supported. If you're doing unsupported things and then complaining about how it's not working out for you, then you're doing it wrong. Also, Basic gives Microsoft slightly more information than your browse

I've had way, way, way more problems deploying Node on all the various and fragmented *nix distros than Windows, since none of them match the dev environment 1:1 either. As a matter of fact, just setting up Node on my dev machines is w

The probability that the audience is male is greater than 85% in the tech industry though. If a bi/lesbian audience makes it OK then a high percentage male audience should make it OK too.

Right. And I'm assuming since you care about it then you would not allow the permission. So, you're covered. What's your problem now?

I already mentioned that about Google. Thank you.

Turn what off? Be more specific please. Telemetry? You can set it to basic unless you are on Windows Enterprise. If you are trying to do anything else you are doing it wrong.

> First, stating that others are doing wrong, is kinda a dick move. Oh give me a break. It does sound like you did something wrong. And that's exactly what I said: "Sounds like you did something wrong". Stop taking offense

Sounds like you did something wrong. All the things I configured did not come back. Maybe you should just learn how to do it properly.

Yes. I had to pay my ISP. We all also paid Google with tax subsidies. Also we all pay with our private information that Google collects and sells. Did I directly pay Google do use google.com? No. I never paid the full price for Windows eith

Try avoiding Apples App Store. You can't do it. They integrated with the OS updates. So every time you open it you have to see ads. At least with Wndows I can turn all of the crap off (and I have). I have zero problems with Windows bec

The "ad" can easily be removed unlike on OS X. Go ahead try to never open the App Store on OS X. You can't do it because you need it for updates. When you open it you will see actual ads. At least I can get rid of the tiny

Turn it all off then. It took me about 20 minutes of configuring Windows to turn off every single thing you mentioned. You do have search without Cortana. You are incorrect. I use it every day. Stop spreading false information. Honestly, I

Why? Obviously, given the very basic nature of the question, this person hasn't looked into it at all. Do you think I should have summarized all of the search results instead of just linking them? What in fact is so meaningless about r

It doesn't start faster than Windows 10 in my experience. Ubuntu server without desktop might, but Linux Mint 18 definitely does not on my hardware. Anyway, there are plenty of reasons that people don't use Linux and you can find

Apple needs Windows because next to nobody depends on Mac OS X to do anything. Meanwhile, 90% of the world uses Windows. Microsoft doesn't need Linux desktop barely anybody runs it.
