One super useful hidden feature but terrible ui is you can start typing as soon as Win 10 start menu is open... example 'notepad'... I used to install classic shell just to get the [run] input box

We can both cherry-pick history all day long, but back in the real world, the Prime Minister of Israel does not campaign with a white supremacist

Its not irrelevant, because the terms white supremacist and neo-nazi have merged.

Meanwhile Netanyahu campaigns with Trump, names a town in the Golan after Trump... which violates the key characteristic of white supremacy: namely not liking Jews; ergo he is not a white supremacist

Trump's "white supremacist" policies: Move US Embassy to Jerusalem, acknowledge Israeli control over the Golan Heights, sign an aid package to give Israel $38B, inch towards war with Iran.

That doesn't sound like a white supremacist/neo-nazi.

Bloomberg did a nice video about the real implications; Chinese app style payments would deprive banks of their cut of transaction processing.[1]

Isn't it strange that the Chinese copied facebook, but now facebook copys WeChat
