vtesucks··on Are thinkpads secure?
The claim is that intels remote management tools can be hacked.

I personally think its true simply because Intel has no incentive to spend money on them being secure. (they are usually bundled with T and other enterprise laptops which live behind a firewall).

I would highly recommend getting a bios from reddit.com/r/thinkpad. I don't think you need to reinstall windows if you bought new but if not then reinstall windows.

Is that an official cia statement?
vtesucks··on [dead]
I have always wondered why death is a time for eulogy? He was a very corrupt president and as a non-partisan, his pardons only have bill Clinton as an analogue.
vtesucks··on America Is Addicted to Outrage. Is There a Cure?
Well news media on "both sides" have a vested interest in this. They get more eyeballs. I only trust ft, Bloomberg, wsj now a days.

How do you know he's not propaganda. I'm not claiming so, I'm in the middle but you seem confident otherwise.
vtesucks··on A new look for rust-lang.org
I have to agree with you. While rust definitely is making progress, wasting peoples time by telling them things are ready is not done.

I don't mind who downboted this but it would help me to learn why?

It seems to me that this comment is making a valid point, if only in a strong tone.

vtesucks··on Sheryl Sandberg Is Said to Have Asked Facebook Staff to Research George Soros
Well balanced comment, thank you.

I don't mind leaning left or right. I mind lying left and right.

Good point but were a lot of players in market then and a lot of wannabes now

Trump's promises may not fit well with half the people but he has done all he promised. See list below.

Lets see zuck try that - I think he will succeed too at least better than the "charming" presidents of the recent past on either side

TPP cancelled

Prison reform

NAFTA renegotiated (this is something that is nit clear how well he did)

China trade war (which by bloombergs account he has an upper hand in)

North Korea peace

vtesucks··on Microsoft Is Worth as Much as Apple. How Did That Happen?
Thanks. There is one thing MS fucked up with and it was not capitalizing on European adoption.

It's because the establishment segment (clinton) genuinely fear him throwing his hat in for 2020. Not that I like him but honestly, if he can sells fb stock and promises to genuinely treat Usa like his firm, I'd prefer him over a politician who says what pays (which is all politicians in all sides).

Mr soros is known to move markets to make money. I don't see why media can just label someone beyond reproach and malign anybody who tries to even dare to look them up

Your own blog post on Haskell (rightly I think) disagrees.

Thanks it looks like you do it with heart (and a lot of mind!)

Good post with better multiple product placements

I just want to say that if and if not you're the PR guy for rust, you're doing a great job.

Rust is a well thought language and while I don't agree with the redesign, I like that you bring the thoughtfulness to the non-language component as well.

I enjoy your blog posts.

Ps: Your parent comment was opposed to discord not discourse.

I don't want rust cool and popular, I want it well designed.

Surface is Ballmer

3x revenue is ballmer

He quit because gates opposed Nokia deal

Cloud is essentially Ballmer too

I didn't know there was an enterprise adoption. Could you name a few?
vtesucks··on Microsoft Wins $480M Army HoloLens Contract
I didn't downvote but what makes you think?

Not trying to be snarly but on HN there isn't a lot of discussion of MS, due to what feels like reasons not related to technology but political. I can see when some small project from google changes name but big news related to MS and very much about widespread technology adoption doesn't figure (except when its negative).

Now i don't mind but i am curious - is there a platform that is less politically inclined and has more tech related news?

I mean i hadn't even heard of hololens and only about Oculus etc and here they are doing 1/2 a billion dollar contracts. I don't want this to happen again...

vtesucks··on Ask HN: I think I am being black listed
Then very unlikely. I'd say no way.
vtesucks··on Ask HN: Why don't we introduce static types in EcmaScript?
An alternate way of asking the same question- why don't we have typescript runtime in browser.

The answer is political. Microsoft can't create it in edge because they would be blamed for trying to fragment the web. Everybody else has no reason to.

I think currently one of the most popular Linux termemu is kitty which also supports this. So its definitely catching on.
