Microsoft is continuing to tinker with the privacy configuration and options in Windows 10, with the Fall Creators Update, due for release on October 17, including yet more changes to the privacy controls above and beyond those made in the previous update. Windows has privacy settings?
Or is that "privacy" settings?

I bet the changes are to make them even more difficult to find and or to activate them (privacy)

A cybersecurity firm has discovered yet another unknown vulnerability used to install government spyware. The vulnerability has now been patched. A flaw in a Word document over email? Is this new?

On an annual basis, research productivity is declining at a rate of about 6.8 per cent per year in the semiconductor industry. In other words, we're running out of ideas. That's the conclusion of economic researchers from Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I had no idea

I dunno how to top that!

That means each researcher's output today is 18 times less effective in terms of generating economic value than it was several decades ago.
Because the relationship between concept and time is clearly a linear one.

Zero times a small number is still zero.

Exercise is not enough to ward off the risks of sitting still for long periods of time, regular movement is needed, research shows. Just keep forgetting what you got up for - that works for me

Let's start with the money: It was funded in part by Coca-Cola
And that’s just the beginning of the study’s problems. Up next: It didn’t actually measure sitting
Then there’s the participant data: It’s not representative—like, at all
Then there’s missing data and weak links
Those are just the subheadings. You should read the entire thing to see how awful it is.

"Two-phase name lookup” is an informal term that refers to a set of rules governing the resolution of names used in a template declaration. I'm guessing this is a good thing?

The XAML designers in Visual Studio and Blend have been powerful tools for developers and designers alike to build beautiful user experiences for Windows applications. Initially designed for WPF development in 2007, So it works now?
"This release of the updated XAML designer is a very early preview of what’s to come and might be rough around the edges." OK, nothing's changed then?

Oh things changed alright:
Quote: The drastic nature of the changes has resulted in us disabling some of the features that previously existed in the XAML designer

Well, the good thing is that with XAML in one pane and design in another and other docked dialogs you can't see anything anyways. 
Not to mention the invisible controls (boundaries are hidden), which is a really nifty f...f..f...feature.
