What server do you suggest they use? Android uses Google servers is that also abusive?

>No one knows better than the end user.

Disagree.

Yeah, right.

The Redmond you’re thinking of is in Washington, BTW.

Never was good at geography, thx :)

Can't you disable NCSI in registry? Or does that not actually help for those other services internally?

If you do so, which I have tried, it will just show permanently no internet

You configured it wrong - Not Jobs

I had my share of troubles with it, but most of the times I found a way to force it work as I need.

Lol, the developer who wrote it that way is definitely the "want to watch the world burn" type.

But it works 99.999% of use-cases as a business decision, what do you suggest windows should do to make it a better user experience for their customers?

> You should be constructing a response to a challenge from the other end, not a response to a simple GET like it's 1999.

Really? Isn't simple better here, why are you making this sound so crazy? Also you can turn it off.

The author also had a good response for spoofing question imo: "So what if somebody spoofs it? Congratulations, you tricked Windows into showing a “full internet access” icon, and then when the user tries to go to a web site, they get an error."

You sound like a typical engineer who cannot see the bigger picture of business decisions.

Nothing against us, I get it, stuff is complicated and hard to have a best solution for everyone.

Stripe is a competitive company with not great WLB from reviews, maybe he enjoys a fast-paced busy environment. He gets paid for it. If people at Stripe don't like that culture they can very easily leave and get a more relaxed job.

The only thing I use AWK for is getting at columns from output, (possibly processing or conditionally doing something on each) what would be the next big use-case?

I use it frequently to calculate some basic statistics on log file data.

Here's a nice example of something similar: https://drewdevault.com/dynlib

awk autonoma theory and oop the results. add unicode for extra tics!

Scripted cholmskey grammar ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_grammar ) to unleash the power of regular expressions.

I have used it to extract a table to restore from a MySQL database dump.

You should read about philosophical zombies if you haven’t heard the concept

Yes, to me they sound like similar questions as can a human-level AGI robot experience consciousness like we do, or is consciousness a purely physical thing. My opinion is yes to both but I guess i'm a physicalist/materialist.

Actually another comment points out something interesting, when we get black-out drunk we are basically in this zombie-state. We can talk and hit our head and physically our brain still reacts, but it was like we aren't actually there and our body is just on autopilot mode.

I think so too, and the fact we put human consciousness far above other animals like elephants and dolphins is human ego imo. If we really believe in evolution then what else could the answer be?

It's a processing loop that helps with executive function, self-reflection etc. which I think lots of animals have some basic version of.

No one here is saying animals aren’t conscious. An interesting question is when does it start? Is a worm conscious, an insect, a single cell, an atom? There’s no obvious dividing line which is what makes it so mysterious. What is the building block that enables more complex conscious beings?

I just air-dry my glasses after dish soap cleaning, by whipping it in the air with my arm. Works pretty well actually.

The gravitational lensing matches exactly how it looked in Hubble's deep field overlay, so I would guess no the JWST lens is not causing any "false" gravitational lensing? If that's what you are asking.

Thanks!

I worded that poorly ;

Wouldn't one be able to adjust the perceived path of the photon after time, to adjust for re-normalizing the path of the photon based on the understanding of the gravitational arc imposed on such -- meaning the astro equivalent of "ZOOM. ENHANCE!" :-)

Depending on the orientation, you wouldn't have the right pixels to put for the angle of view from straight on.

Eg, you'd normally see the side view of an object, but the lensing gets you the top and bottom views

Ah right, good question yes it seems like it could be possible..

The normalization I was thinking of was :

Lets assume you have a 'straight' vector of line of sight pointing your Earthly-Bound-Lens [hubble/jswt/whatever] at the object of interest.

you also have an idea through previous observations of gallaxies on the line of sight, which will have gravitational impact on the trajectory of the photons of interest...

the arrival photon's wiggle represents a wobble in time to get to earth. Meaning it changed phase multiple times between our sensor receiving it, and its origin.

If one could look at the path and the grav-lenses it went through, one may be able to extrapolate a more clear picture at various distances(times)....??? /r/NoStupidQuestions

( I am picturing a straight shot - but the photon traveled between many other celstials - and those

I agree but also touch some grass.
