Microsoft has accidentally released an internal-only version of Windows 10 to testers, revealing a new Start menu design Sorry if you were a fan of Live Tiles
Plus, it looks like new icons! Oh, what a glorious world we live in.

They are probably letting an AI (in learn phase) to commit the changes... that could explain the rollout of their windows updates too

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

So how about (and this is crazy, I know) they just show a list of names instead of hieroglyphic-like icons?
We can see more options, more easily.
I think someone mocked up something along the lines of what I'm thinking of here[^]

But then what would the icon designers do? You don't want them bored and wandering the streets!

...like packs of rabid dogs, bailing up passer's-by and pummeling them a shower of designs, each indiscernible from the previous.

You mean do it like the very clever and dedicated people who designed the first start menu did it?
It'll never happen. The brainless egos need to be able to say "This is all my idea! It's never been done before!", no matter how distracting, time-and-resource wasting, and comparatively useless it is.
The only ray of sunshine in this is that live tiles might finally be dead.

The Verge said: This new build also included a GIF search tool within the emoji picker for Windows 10.
Well, golly!
Why didn't they open the article with that?
Talk about (incentive-) killer features!

A new working paper suggests that websites are making less money because of the General Data Protection Rule (GDPR). It’s the first study of how the European privacy law affects the revenue of online businesses. Mission accomplished?

Security is not about making profit; so yes, that costs money.

In other news, burglars and muggers make less money because of the laws that allow the police to arrest them for it.

Ten years ago, a neuroscientist said that within a decade he could simulate a human brain. Spoiler: It didn’t happen. That upload may take a little longer than planned

Of course it failed! I told him NOT to use assembly language for the project! He just didn't listen!

To simulate something we first have to understand it pretty good...

So we understand the universe pretty good then? There's simulations on the big bang 
You don't have to understand the brain pretty good to build a (good) simulation. Those are built usually to verify whether what we think drives it is correct or not.

That only means we understand our theory about the Big Bang -- not necessarily the universe. Hence any simulation would and does fail a comparison with the real universe.
The same would go for the human brain. We can simulate as far as we understand, but when compared to a real human brain, it fails.

A simulation is not meant to be 100% the "real" thing. If it is, it's not a simulation anymore. And yes, sometimes a few modelling-rules are enough to explain complex systems.

lmao. To model complexity requires complexity.

A complex pattern of a flightpath of a flock of birds is easy to model with a few rules. The idea of simulating things is to reduce complexity

True, but then they fail to reflect reality

No, they don't; simulations aren't supposed to equal reality.
We model flight-behaviour by simple rules, without adding real-life complexities like chaning airpressure, butterflies flapping their wings, sudden hailstorms and more - since those real-life circumstances have negligable impact on the outcome, and aren't required for the modelling.

Oh sure. But now you've gone far afield from the original subject: simulating the human brain. To get something even close to resembling the human brain, it needs to be a complex system. Sorry but simple wont do here.

No, it doesn't. The building blocks of a brain are fairly simple. Especially the reptile-base part of the brain 
--edit
Where did you get your wisdom that it needs to be complex? Any arguments for that?

Wow, that's like saying building world trade center is simple because the parts that make it up are simple. Next you'll prove it by building it with just you and a friend then. 
Yeah, you can simulate such a building "simply", but it'll look like a cartoon and won't look, feel or respond anything like reality. Sure you'll be able to tell some stuff and it may be good enough for some purposes, but it won't reflect reality.
Same with your idea of "simply" simulating the brain.
It's pretty obvious really.
