I’m sure it’s been mentioned a few times in the older thread that came up the other day but I can only recommend the book by Ben Rich, Skunk Works, if you want learn more about how this plane came to be.

Loved the first part. Can't wait to play it. Didn't know there was an iOS Version for the first one, time to replay that on my phone on a plane :D

It absolutely is working on a ship. At least for me it helps e.g. when traveling on a big ferry etc. but I guess everybody has a different level of tolerance.

Mark Russinovich shares some of it in this recent Ignite session: https://ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/49347847-9ae4-43... *I work at Microsoft but have nothing to do with the datacenter engineering or other insights into the details behind it.

My Steam account is turning 20 today at 4:58pm (CET) and I cannot help but feel a bit old for the very first time. I still remember all my friends hating it so much in the beginning because it would slow our PCs down and cost us valuable FPS in Counter-Strike. It's amazing what Valve has achieved with Steam since then. Happy Birthday Steam!

Thank you for creating this. I was just looking for something like that to send notifications to my mobile without setting this all up and deploying my own app to the store. Using ntfy now :)

Cool project. Looks a little bit like the one i've been using as a basis: https://github.com/brennentsmith/internet-speed-logger I just combined it with a CosmosDB and put the dashboard online with the actual tester running locally of course.

Can you recommend a good way to make sure the Pi and Pi-hole are always up to date? I imagine a simple cron with pihole -up is not sufficient?

I tried that once but ran into so many errors for passwords that contained characters like ", or ;" that I gave up. Is there a way around this other then copying every entry manually?

Awesome! I wanted to have something like this for ever and planned to build it myself using a combination of gmail and Flow or something. Now LastPass , 1Password etc. need to integrate it so every time you generate a new password you can add a random email to the mix.

It loads but very slow. Most of them seem to be from the MIT IBM Watson AI Lab. I like that they used generated portraits of themself :D

Extract of "Why":

"AI Portraits Ars uses Artificial Intelligence to reproduce artistic human portraits, with different styles and levels of abstraction. For our model training, we adopt a data set of tens of thousands of paintings from the Early Renaissance to Contemporary Art. This type of portraiture is quite distinctive of the Western artistic tradition. Training our models on a data set with such strong bias leads us to reflect on the importance of AI fairness. In the previous work AI Portraits Celebrity, we explored the concept of micro-bias linked to the training data of only actors, which in some way imposes an actorization of the user's portrait: “a collection of faces from the society of spectacle that are sedimented in the neural network, and vaporize my selfie in a cinematographic self." AI Portraits Ars introduces a very different type of bias with unique themes to explore."

// edit: Added extract of "Why"

Since you mentioned: "be on a conference call". There is nothing more annoying then a participant in a conference call (or any call) using AirPods especially when they are at a busy place. My experience is that you hear everything around them and most of the time they are hard to understand because of how the voice is picked up. I always ask them to switch back to the phone so i can understand. Not sure if the new version improves that or if it's just my experience.

That's exactly what this option does. It deletes everything that has been collected up until that point.

There is an option to delete all diagnostic data collected (Windows 10 1803). You can find it under Settings->Privacy-> Diagnostics & feedback-> Delete diagnostic data. As others have mentioned you can access and manage it using the portal that is linked.*

Hi Chandan, great to see you put the domain to a good use and making it to YC W18 :). Congrats on the launch.

If the patent got invalidated now, wouldn't they be able to get their "fees" back?

I'm using the one from http://hn.premii.com/ and when logging in it takes me to the HN website login page. As I said it kind of looks like an OAuth flow but probably isn't :)

Looks nice! Have been using another client till now. One question though. Why do I have to enter my credentials directly in the app? The app I'm using now uses kind of an OAuth flow which makes me feel better somehow.

Might be worth to check out the recent LinkedIn vs. startup scraping case: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-linkedin-ruling...

I guess because SAP HANA is an in memory database which requires, well, a lot of memory. Other providers use HANA as a reference as well.

What makes you say that? Have you had a look at e.g. https://microsoft.com/trust ? We* are not in the business of selling your data. *I work at Microsoft

I think that's the main goal (charging phone+tablet+laptop). He's talking about that in one of the other posts on the site.

Like I mentioned above. This has been added with the creators update since build 15002 and is now built in. See here for reference: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/09/annou...

Since the creators update this is a system wide shortcut afaik. So it should work without OneNote.

On Windows 10 try: WIN+SHIFT+S to get instant screen clipping and paste it to e.g. Twitter or whatever.

You should definitely consult a lawyer as i'm guessing you have a german contract. Even if you haven't started but signed everything you have something called trial period (Probezeit) which has at least a two weeks notice for termination.

This is great. Thanks for creating it. I'm trying to think of a better way to pick the animals and colors (color picker?) to make it a bit more convenient, but that's just a small detail.

The iOS widget still seems to work for me. The app has been reporting an error as well for at least a few hours.

Sorry, you are right it's $100 for two years. //Edited above.
