In many ways it’s the ultimate question in natural science: How does our universe work? Is there a fundamental theory? "The supreme task of the physicist is the discovery of the most general elementary laws from which the world-picture can be deduced logically. But there is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws."

I only got about half way through the page, because it's looking a little too much like numerology, to me.
Sure, there will be "rules" of this type that slot into what we have so far observed, but let's not get carried away here, eh?
The ratio 1:1.6 does a grand job of looking like it might be the basic rule for life as we know it, but that doesn't mean that it is.

IMHO, until they could find THE SIMPLE (otherwise it can't be something fundamental) reducible rule(s) that can generate 3 dimensional flat space (not roughly, but exactly) that we all experiencing in our daily life, they will be still on their way and very few could follow it ...

Mega post!
Btw, assuming we can get a consistent theory, i.e., one from which existing QM and GR are derivable, how can it be thoroughly tested? E.g., as things stand, it's impossible to test what goes on beyond the event horizon of a black hole and/or near the singularity where we assume QM and GR merge.
Maybe we just have to settle for its being able to reproduce QM and GR plus account for dark matter and energy?

Quote: So how does this relate to time? What it says is that in the basic statement of the model there is not just one path of time; there are many paths, and many “histories”. So it is overlooking consciousness and free will, and can't model the world we experience every day, with those elements in it.

So now there's more than one "I" in GitHub?
Or are there none?
Only one? I can't keep track.

A team of researchers at MIT’s Dream Lab, which launched in 2017, are working on an open source wearable device that can track and interact with dreams in a number of ways — including, hopefully, giving you new control over the content of your dreams. "But in my dream, you play by my rules."

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?

ISPs have responded to increased internet use by upping network capabilities, increasing speed, and suspending data caps. "Take me apart as you choose, there's a breakdown in paradise"

That headline makes it sound like all it takes is one small malfunction and the whole internet becomes unusable, everywhere.
I think we all know that's not the case.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

With the latest Windows 10 Insider build, new hidden features have been found that add long-awaited media controls to the volume flyout and a new settings page that shows a 'What's New' section for the current Windows release. All the best features are hidden

I'd question their definition of "long-awaited". It appears to be "unwanted and unasked for".Quote: [the media controls] can cause Windows to not work properly Yes, because starting and stopping a song is such an integral part of the core, the very heart, of an operating system that you can expect it to make your machine blow up.
And have you looked at their "release notes" image[^]?- Add emoji from your keyboard
Wow! That's everything everyone ever wanted from a computer!
- Automatically back up precious folders
Yes, my precious!
I mean, Who in the world of IT uses words like "precious" to describe folders?
One of the marketing morons asked for this, betcha, saying that it's needed for people who aren't computer-savvy.
The problem is that all it will do is make people who aren't computer-savvy wonder why they keep getting low-disc-space warnings.
- Bring microsoft to your android phone
This is blatant advertising.
- Create events quickly
Woo-Hoo!
Just what everyone needs baked into an operating system, because no-one has Zoom or any other kind of meeting software installed.
Whatever happened to the microsoft that at least tried to make computers useful and usable?
Oh yeah. He retired.

I agree that they are breaking what Microsoft was.
They see that a big % of the average Joe / Janes don't really uses a computer as it was used to anymore. They see the market share of Android and iOS and want a part of the cake.
But the problem is... they have forgoten / are too dumb to see, that they were (and still are) the kings of the PC market but, on the other hand, that if they don't resign and get a step back of those non-sense trying to integrate mobile things with the PC, they are going to screw it up definitivelly beyond all points of recovery.
In the moment that a big corporation or a country says "enough" and start interacting intensivelly with linux in an official way...
That is going to be like the tiny stone that triggers an avalanche. Their (M$) luck is that there still is a lot of fear to do it, what is saving their (M$) asses.

Quite so, and surely stuff like this is part and parcel of all that. They have to build more into the OS, just as phones effectively do and just as the Linux ecosystem (with its distributions with loads of packaged apps supplied directly by the distribution) do.

It strikes me that they have long since left their strategic errors with Windows 8 behind. At the time, Microsoft weren't the only company to make the mistake of thinking that everything was going touch-centric. Ubuntu and Gnome, for example, made the same error.
Despite being told repeatedly and on a massive scale by their Windows 8 beta testers that the phone/touch-centric UI was a massive error, they (well, Sinofsky) pressed on with it and severaly damaged Windows.
Since then, however, it seems to me that they have recovered and now made touch an option, not a coercion.
Beyond that, Microsoft is surely right to integrate usability and resilience features into Windows. That is what users genuinely want and need, it seems to me.

But they do already. Big corps already have an increasing number of Linux servers. But Windows remains king on the desktop and laptop for the simple reason is that it is... well... 'better'. This is not to denigrate Linux desktops (many of which are very good in their own ways), but Windows does now seem to have got it right for the corporate, SOHO and home desktop/laptop environment.
What we're seeing here, no matter how much it irritates some people, is more of Microsoft getting it right I think. There's nothing here that breaks Windows in the way that the Windows 8 UI for the main Windows desktop/laptop market -- this is just more of the additional stuff that end users really do want, or need, or expect, in home and corporate environments.
Well, that's how it seems to me.
