How did you go from "a lot of people will switch" to "the year of Linux on desktop"? Microsoft is making a lot of changes that will annoy the expert users. Stuff like a Settings app that has a single screen - e.g. one ma

Azure Service Fabric is actually excellent. Deployed a web service on top of it 5 years ago, so far it hasn't gone down even once. Service fabric is used in scale by internal Microsoft teams such as Bing and Xbox, so the bugs and the s

A lot of people are locked-in Windows, but as Microsoft more and more ruins the OS by pushing advertisement, telemetry, slow cloud services, new versions of apps optimized for those who don't know how to use a computer, rather than exp

A trusted friend would be very good at pushing effective advertising - which is why FB is working on something like this. Google and Microsoft are probably not far behind.

It's hard to estimate what danger an advanced, almost general AI can be. What I'm personally afraid is it can be used effectively by organizations like Al-Qa'ida. As a chat bot it can contact millions of people and radicalize

It's early days in AI copyright lawsuits, but IMHO this won't be successful - one doesn't need a license to produce a summary of a book. Does Wikipedia need a license to publish an article about a book, or does a schoolkid ne

Hmmm, is that actually true? In my experience being in good shape is a lot more important for most women. A guy with a 6 pack doesn't need to be 6.5 feet or a millionaire to have a lot of success.
