It was just a click-thru for me and I closed it.
I'm not affiliated with that site at all. Sorry about the ugly.
I thought the article was somewhat interesting though.

Anyone can download and read Stephen Hawking’s 1966 doctoral thesis “Properties of expanding universes” now that the scientist has given permission for it to be open access. Just in case you want to check his work

Recently, users started reporting an issue which causes certain apps to disappear from the operating system after installing the update. "He tightens and loosens a few spare parts, one thing's fixed, another falls apart"
|

|

My update was seamless and surprisingly fast. And it got rid of a bunch of crummy apps I didn't want (and never opened. For all I know, they never existed except as icons.)

I’m thrilled to share our new, exclusive partnership with Cray that will provide our customers unprecedented access to supercomputing capabilities in Azure to solve their toughest challenges in climate modeling, precision medicine, energy, manufacturing, and other scientific research. For those who don't have one on their desktop
(And those that do have no desktop left)

According to CERN...what desktop?

Less exciting that it sounds at first blush...
Unlike most Azure compute resources, which are typically shared between customers, the Cray supercomputers will be dedicated resources. This suggests that Microsoft won't be offering a way of timesharing or temporarily borrowing a supercomputer. Rather, it's a way for existing supercomputer users to colocate their systems with Azure to get the lowest latency, highest bandwidth connection to Azure's computing capabilities rather than having to have them on premises.
... at least for now you're not going to be able to rent time on one. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The feature works on a "block everything by default" philosophy, which means that on a theoretical level, it would be able to prevent ransomware when it tries to access and encrypt files stored in those folders. Should be 100% defense until they find a way around it (in about a 1/2 or so)

One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why antimatter did not destroy the universe at the beginning of time. We're all just figments of our own imaginations
Sorry everyone, I thought we had a nice 14 billion year (+/- 13.999994000) run, but didn't happen.

CERN concluded: Universe shouldn’t exist
We'll have to take a leap of faith on its existence then, I guess.

As Feynman said, anti-matter is just matter moving backwards in time, so it just disappeared in the 4th dimension

Got a 500 error. Hmmm - maybe it no longer exists either...

Didn't this happen the last time you tried to share a story from cosmos?

Could be. Maybe they can't handle all the traffic we create.

I had a theory on it long times ago published in physics letters based on quantum collapse (of vacuum state) which had some direct evidences (the QM collapse, not my theory) recently in the field of multi-photon extra long distance (namely, non-causal, space-like) quantum correlation. But they don't listen ...

I have a friend felt from 10+ meter height - he shouldn't exist too, but fortunately (and somehow miraculously) he is completely healthy...
It is time to admit that we do not know/understand almost nothing about nothing and focus our spirit/vigor/strength to make our planet a better place to live on - otherwise we may have no time left to explore the truth about the universe...

Now I feel better about not belonging in this body.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

I assume that they use the kind of logic found here: Hitchhiker's Guide (Original) Babel Fish
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Slow internet speeds and the Internet 'rush hour' -- the peak time when data speeds drop by up to 30 percent -- could be history with new hardware that provides consistently high-speed broadband connectivity. Faster than 56K? Yes please.

I'd be happy if the new technology was simply "it works reliably."

10,000 Mbps? I'd be happy to get anything better than 8 Mbps! Baltimore won't allow fibre in the city for some reason so it's a choice between Verizon DSL (wot I got) or Comcast - a no-brainer, obviously.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
