Not just for Windows, it works for writing Linux .iso images too.

W10 ESU updates and correct checksums will promptly leak for those who care.

I upgraded to Linux long ago so I'm looking forward to more hardware being sold off.

But I do agree we still pay too much for health care and the outcomes we receive are sub optimal. Obamacare was insurance reform, but I would like to see the U.S. pursue a universal single-payer system like pretty much every other high-income country in the world. Oh no, wait, "socialism!!!"

Oh God no...please never let the US govt be in charge of my health care.

It's not even the socialism thing.....it's just the massive clusterfuck that government is running things.

Some are a necessary evil....military....etc.

But no....I've been to Social Security offices....ugh.

I've been to other federal offices and it almost agony getting anything done.....and often it takes way more than one trip.

I imagine it would be akin to the DMV with govt medical care.....and I just do now trust MY health to the bloated mechanisms of the govt bureaucracy .....

That's not even getting into the politics that would inevitably get involved.

And the US....we could not afford it for everyone, hell we can't afford the US health care we DO have....Medicare and Medicaid....too bloated, too $$$ and just horrible to have to deal with....

Sure we need to fix the private industry....lots to be done there, but the govt is NOT the answer I want.

Hell.....who'd want to have govt run medical centers right now with a govt shutdown going on....?

No thanks.

I might be wrong but I don't think move fast and break things referred to that which you were building. It was more about don't worry about the consequences for the rest of the market place, perhaps don't worry about the consequences for cooperative shared infrastructure, like shoveling tons of data over DNS, or say abusing NTP to distribute a bunch of very large binaries..

Another example would be Electron apps, the move fast and break things does not apply to your own app it applies to using the giant frame work to deliver simplistic functionality that could have been implemented in single digit megabytes of resident code at a slightly lower level but chewing up 400MB on another chromium instance is someone else's problem, they can just buy more ram if it 'breaks usability' of the rest of their system.

I don't think move-fast-break-things was about excusing incompetence so much as excusing anti-social behavior or outright turning it into a virtue.

we have seen more de-regulation, more tax cuts, more gutting of labor

Ah....isn't it GREAT???

Thank God we've gotten them in office periodically to roll back the government some....

We need more of this IMHO.....

I would say Obamacare is very pro national interest, in that it promotes the health and welfare of the nation and slowed the explosion of health care costs.

Except, it didn't.....it raised medical prices across the board, and they are still rising due to Obamacare.

Why do you think the Dems keep having to try to pile more and more money into it....the program is not sustainable, never was.

Sure and Nazi's did all the hard work in the decades before that.

The only point you are making is the state of the art advances. Does General Motors suck because Ford did all the hard work of trialing mass production and JIT manufacturing?

Space X has been doing the things that NASA and some of their more traditional MIC partners organizationally have not. The reasons why are only interesting if for political reasons you think we need to have state-run spacecraft production industry or you want to run your own commercial venture and need to know what does not work. As to the more general national and commercial interests Space X is delivering on domestic launch capability in a variety of useful capacity configurations.

NASA as a design house is a just yawn, at this point. I'd say kill everything besides administrative coordination and policy making. Nix the astronaut program, let the private industry train our pilots and space explorers.

Unless we get these cretins under control, they will be the end of us.

Yeah...companies "prioritizing customer convenience and trying to sell cars"....

I mean, WTF were they thinking??!?!

It did a few times, at first... to be fair.

Most cars still have hydraulic brakes and a mechanical link from the steering wheel. But the EV for t3h win brigade is pushing full drive by wire real hard. The wikipedia claims the cybertruck is all drive by wire, for example.

My toyota gets "bricked" and it's theoretically still controllable. How long is that fallback going to last?

if it any way touches moving machinery, unless I have personally verified that it will not affect the control of said moving machinery.

The IT guys at work absolutely *love* me.

I'm pretty sure they have a shrine to me somewhere. Or a dart board. Same difference.
