My business includes printing, signing, and mailing certain documents, so it was crucial for our efficiency to automate the process of printing.

Our first "fancy" printer included support for Google Cloud Print - except it would periodically "deauthenticate" and require manual setup, which in turn would change certain printer IDs that we needed to send jobs to the printer.

Our next "fancy" printer from Xerox also included support for Google Cloud Print. For whatever reason, we could never enable Google Cloud Print on that model.

We switched to PrintNode and have never looked back. We were able to integrate our label printers with PrintNode as well, so we could automate the process of printing shipping labels. The biggest downside is that we needed a dedicated computer (server in our case) to be connected to the printers in order to route the PrintNode jobs. Not the biggest downside in our case, but to its credit, Google Cloud Print usually connected directly from the printer.
It certainly doesn't fit in with current car aesthetics that try to mimic something like a bulging piece of muscle with a face. It's like straight out of the future we were hoping for in the 80's, where machines were cold, hard steel and not mushy plastic. Has Arnold Schwarzenegger preordered one?
Brutalism has as much to do with using unadorned, primitive materials as it has to do with actual concrete. It's clearly inspired by expressionism, and I think the expressionists have found their car here.
As an engineer I would be persuaded by a) implementing something practical but simple simply, b) implementing something a bit more complex legibly and c) writing about the results which explain why they are neat.

The killer promoter is of course a book.

I usually wait before starting on new languages so I'm not slowed down by incomplete tooling, missing compiler features etc.

What really gets me going is a 1-2-3 tutorial which explains how to implement something non-trivial like calling c dlls.
Because if a food delivery company messes up I’m out dinner. An Uber competitor messes up in our a ride or have an uncomfortable half hour.

But an Airbnb competitor messes up and maybe I have lice or worse. So the brand is worth more in that case.

And they’re constrained on both ends by hotels also.
Uber losing money on a ride should be expected to make it a more attractive option than close equivalents that do not lose money.
Hah, that's the dodgiest proof ever... but well, keep drinking that Kool-Aid!
In fact I posted this while trying to find that flagkilled thread.

I'm looking forward to being flagkilled.
A legally savvy poster in the original Ars Technica thread says it's allowed if the authorities can claim "exigent circumstances" -- basically meaning that lives were in danger or evidence would have been destroyed if they didn't act fast. Here's more on exigent circumstances via Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exigent_circumstance_in_United_...

From what we've been told so far, this sounds like a textbook case of an allowable grab.
Well, I for one am glad that Microsoft decided against WebKit/Blink.

Because of its popularity as a rendering engine, being used by Safari, Chrome and Opera, both on the desktop and on mobile phones, it is quickly becoming a monoculture. Even if we are talking about an open-source project, to me it smells too much like the lock-in that IExplorer once had on the market and people might not remember, but IExplorer was at some point very innovative and the best browser available. And many people also don't remember what happened after that.

So even though I'm very grateful about WebKit/Blink, we really must avoid repeating mistakes of the past. Multiple implementations of a standard are very healthy, monocultures are not.

However, I also think that given this overhaul, Microsoft should open-source this rendering engine. I really hope they do it and it would be in their interest to do so.
The cloudflare CEO talks about "SSL added and removed here" [0].

Then I go to their website [1], and see that unfortunately they forgot to add this annotation in the description of their product [2].

Could anyone tell them please :)?

Probably negative wealth, actually.
Your response would have been a lot stronger if you had answered his main question - do you have an interest?

This is a question it is reasonable to ask any blogger endorsing a product. It is also a question any blogger should clearly and explicitly answer, if asked.

>The relationship between the speaker and the statement has no bearing on the truth of the statement.

It has no bearing on the objective truth of the statement. However, we have no Oracle we can check for objective truths.
So with incomplete information, we reason subjectively and probabilistically.

Books that stand the test of time, and are still popular in our community, are more likely to be good than an arbitrary new unknown book. We apply a different prior, and there's nothing wrong with that.

P(Book_good|classicInCommunity) > P(Book_good)

When we see three books endorsed, two respected classics, and one new to the market, its natural to wonder whether there's a great new book on the topic that has just come out. But we must ask ourselves, how often does this happen? And how often do people shill on blogs?

There's nothing wrong with reasoning about these relative probabilities, from our perspective of incomplete information - and it'd be foolish not too.

Anyway; I also believe: P(shill|HNreader) < P(shill), so I'd give you the benefit of the doubt.
Theres nothing wrong with applying such a belief, even though it obviously doesn't change whether you ARE a shill or not.

But it'd be nice if you answered bugsy's question.
Because
P(book_good|endorsed,interest) < P(book_good|endorsed)
I used to talk fast. I made an effort to speak more slowly because people didn't understand me, and now I just think slower, which doesn't seem all that great.

Well, it got them on the HN front page - looks like they’re doing at least a few things right.
that's pretty much it, except if you're on LSD at some point it will stop.
Ok, I'll bite.

Open source is a hacker thing. Hackers like open source because it avoids useless duplication of effort, which is toilsome and wasteful. Hackers don't like toil and unnecessary waste.

Forks are nothing but otherwise-unnecessary waste. They become necessary through asshattery like spying on users, but they are a last resort, because everything else about a fork is antithetical to most hackers: it's boring, wasteful, duplicated work, induced solely by an unreasonable upstream.

We try a lot of things before we fork, including naming and shaming.
You can make your own for about $2k for a 1kW/hr system with 300W solar panels [1]. Definitely the way to go if you want something that just works without the fancy in-line wiring.

> I have a file server running AMD Phenom II 955 that I'm thinking of replacing with a RPi. Is there a practical way to have RPis manage a software RAID?

I did this using an rpi2. It is non-trivial in terms of effort.

In a practical sense the rpi is limited in terms of power to the USB ports, so any build with 2+ HDDs and some sort of wireless USB keyboard and mouse dongle will use up too much power.

In other words, I had to buy a powered USB hub.

I used mdadm to do a software RAID, which more or less worked out of the box but took a while to clone the original drive. Throughput wasn't amazing for anything except occasional pulls and puts; I wasn't going to stream 4K video off of this, though I did have some luck with Subversion and music streaming.

It was clunky enough that I got a Synology box a year and a half later and never looked back.

I think it's been notable in the current hubbub about Stadia some have been pointing towards Gmail, Maps etc as proof Google doesn't kill everything.

But the thing is all the examples seem to be more than five years old, because god help me but they don't seem to have done anything in quite a while to be honest.

Google desperately needs to rethink how it moves into new areas and launches new products. "You'll get it when it arrives" seems like such a terrible attitude to take with the general public.
Absolutely agreed. I’d really love to be able to talk to someone who works on stuff like this, like from all those companies mentioned in the article, and ask them why they continue to advance the state of this art? Do they think it is inevitable? Are they just integrating many separate features used to create entertainment like CGI/dubbed movies?

We’re opening Pandora’s box like a kid on Christmas morning.
And French.
Also, it's εὐρώπη in Greek so Europe is the logical transliteration.

I find it weird that the moon is called Europa in English however. French uses Europe for both.
>Somewhat ironically Elasticsearch would probably work really well for this too (just make sure your elasticsearch isn't open to the world on the internet!).

Sure it will work, but I personally don't like Elasticsearch for anything high-intensity because of its HTTP REST API and the overhead it carries. Take a look at Cassandra's [1] "CQL binary protocol", it simple and always on point.

Not being able to map ipv6 space is a myth. There's plenty of workarounds.
In addition to the other reply, I didn't say anywhere they were actively avoiding surveillance, there are gaps, and you assume far too much in expecting users to understand the scope, value and portability of the information they're leaking to an innocuous seeming website. You can't conflate Facebook usage with opinions towards the government.
It'd also be nice if Microsoft shipped an easy-to-install plugin for IIS. I know, I know, they have this ... design ... where that handling is done by HTTP.SYS in the kernel. But their technical decisions like that shouldn't impact how they deliver updates.
That there is a desktop OS where everything is open reminds people that are alternatives to walled gardens.
As for repository access, you could have one qube with github access. Your dev qube would not have github access, but it would have access to a private repository. Your guthub qube can pull from the private repo and push to github without ever running or installing any of the code.
I'm a big fan of pixel art, but the screenshots on the GitHub are a bit too "programmer art" for my liking.
I doubt all of this takes much bandwidth though and I doubt they're willing to invest huge sums for something everyone will have access to anyway after it's completion.
Oh come on. Whenever the public actually demands something, the government's response is always batons, tear-gas and rubber bullets (and some torture thrown in for good measure, of course).

You call that customer service? Imagine McDonald's tasing you for complaining about not getting what you ordered.

-That's exactly how governments behave. As a recent example, China and HK declare that from now on, Hong Kong's electoral candidates will be chosen by the tyrants in Beijing. HK's citizens protest. HK's police forces brutalize the citizens.
This in your JS should hide site content from adblock users (adsense only):

I think I am a dead man now.

I'll try to understand the legal issue.

I will also try to find some journalists and start learning how to respect their job.

Thanks for reminding me.
Links or it didn't happen.

I don't imply that nobody uses it for solving practical problems. Just, I made my judgement based on:

- friends (I know, it may be biased),

- GitHub codes I use (and in general, popularity),

- blog posts on Haskell (I encounter mostly language-oriented; less problem-oriented like "let's make a 3d game", "web scraping", "machine learning", "web dev" etc).
all my bugs from android 2.3 (still heavily used in the us and out) up to android 4.2 were closed as obsolete.

several are somewhat fixed on 5.0 (most by removing the feature) but nothing about support even nexus devices from 2.5 years ago.

3 were security ones confirmed by a few comments.

I've been getting obsolete emails on my low profile bugs since November all the way to Dec 25...

Google just gave up. i think nobody there care about users after yahoo stole JBQueru. they now focus exclusively on profit and easy/fun work (i.e. full focus on new versions because maintaining old, stable software is the job of interns)
I use this as well (The zero version) but I wonder if there are any performance hits from doing this. I would think not but I've had sites (on desktop and mobile) lock up while waiting for something to load. Most of the time I assume this is some scrolling or "navigation" plugin that hasn't loaded yet (and not ads) but I'd love to read an analysis on hosts vs adblock vs µBlock.

Seems like this user land tcp stack could be the basis of types of c10m servers. Are tbere existenting userland tcp stacks available? I'm not familiar with any.
You should kill that misinformation with some Haskell experience ;)
They will after the year above them tells them about it.
My impression of your closing paragraph is that you may be looking a bit too hard for that sentiment – I've seen it and been annoyed by it too, but I don't see it in Siegler's post. If anything, it's the opposite, equally annoying sentiment that the game is over because Android's destiny is now manifest. The game is far from over, though, and I don't see anyone credibly claiming otherwise.
TiVo is taking software that was intended to be and remain free and betraying the spirit of its license by preventing end-users from changing the devices they own.

While I won't say it's wrong or unjustifiable, I prefer more open and friendly devices and, so, I don't - and probably won't - own a TiVo, as I don't want to enable such conduct.
I for one am grateful he commented on this at all.

He has professional experience in this field, and his hunches are worth a thousand completely uninformed responses such as yours.

If you want him to dig through data, email the author, and look up stuff on Wikipedia for you, then how about you pay him before indignantly demanding that he do it?

After receiving backbiting chastisements from the popcorn gallery, I wouldn't be surprised if he refrained from commenting at all next time some similar announcement in his field of expertise came up.

That would be a pity, as his expertise, insight, and any time he cares to spend explaining his field to us are certainly valued.
Looks like someone needs to do some leaking down at the Wired office.

That would be interesting, particularly if the chat logs were "leaked" to Wikileaks. Would they still publish the logs, even if the logs meant life imprisonment for Bradley Manning? Would that then be a breach of trust between Wikileaks and Manning?

Anyway, besides all my ridiculous speculation and getting ahead of things; The title is in no way an exaggeration, and Poulson should think rather hard about what he's going to do about it.
Interesting idea. You should add a timeline view that basically looks like what that user's Twitter timeline looks like.
I don't get what's so new about this. Trains have been diesel-electric for decades.
But are there any known successful startups that have offered white-labeled versions of their products to partners/customers? We're not desperate for cash, but we just want to know what is common in the industry, i.e. if it's a shit deal.
Samurai as well. Very skilled horse archers.
Debug it? How did he design it in the first place? I'd love to know more about that.
> Abu Ghraib put every US soldier at risk.

At risk of what? What was already happening to both soldiers and civilians? You can't mean torture, death, or imprisonment. Hell, the Taliban and the like were doing far, far worse already.

So, I'm honestly curious, what was the increased risk?

> so maybe you made some good points later on.

The OP made mention of how Manning's leak directly led to intelligence sources imprisonment and death.

I wonder if there is anything other than suspicious backing up your claims here?
Fun. Would be a neat alternative to parallax on desktop web too.
A bit screwy on my iPad Retina too. "submit" and my name are too close together on the top right.
Don't be absurd. Of course I want to know these things. They don't stop thinking them because you don't find out, you know!
It takes a while for the test mass to notice that the big mass moved.

So the test mass is pulled in a direction where the big mass no longer is, but rather where it was.

Speaking of 4chan. This app could be their next uber prank. All they need to know is David Miscavige's license plate number, and I bet hundreds of Anonymous people will be targeting him all over California.

How about high school kids? Piss of a popular kid and all his/her friends could start targeting your license plate.

This app has huge potential for misuse, and the fact that he's hoping insurance companies may use it for keeping track of customers is very scary indeed.
There are a few starting points for solving the black hole problem. It's amazing how much Yahoo allowed it to atrophy.
This is VERY different than what your friend is doing. Your friend is reporting these drivers to law enforcement and allowing them to deal with it, and/or allowing your friend to appear before the people he's accusing in court for the purposes of issuing and enforcing a citation in regards to a violation of the law ensuring due process. This app reports directly to the DMV and insurance companies according to the article.

Your friend is doing it right, the app is doing it wrong.
For one thing, vigilantism itself describes illegal enforcement of the law. This is not illegal. On another level, vigilantism need not be exactly but does tend to invoke an image of physical force used in the punishing of crimes. Finally, as a technical matter, the reporter of the violation is not enforcing a law against someone, just legally transmitting information about the person's behavior. Vigilantism involves the enforcement of laws against the victim.
Not really, other than preventing another "My Name" from ranking higher in search results for your name than you. It's a land grab.

In my case, I was able to get a shorter URL ronnieroller.com vs ronnie.me. Makes it easier to say over the phone, twitter, etc.

Make sure you set up the redirects properly. Having multiple URLs that point at the same content could penalize you on search engines for duplicate content (I believe).
Yeah I like this idea too. I've been managing my resume site with wordpress and I'm sick of it. I would gladly point my domain to a site that let me create a decent resume/experience page with the analytic features that about.me has.

Of course this would require the site to create subdomains for users and not directories.
How often does that actually happen? Is it something real, or just something we've become afraid of because it happens in movies?
Maybe if you'd show me shipping charges when I select the item this would be less of a problem. Although odds are that just means I won't even add the item to my cart.
Double-tangentially related. My contract with Vodafone (UK) is up for renewal soon and there's the HTC Wildfire, Nexus One, Desire, Legend, Tattoo listed on the website. Just to be clear, this is attempting to narrow it down to one carrier, one manufacturer, one operating system. How about a clear flagship model and a budget option rather than all this shitty confusion? Then maybe you'll have the engineering resources to keep the two or three models up to date.

This is similar to my laptop rant the other day. It's sad to see companies shooting themselves in the foot.
Login can be a verb, we just haven't collectively decided how to conjugate it. Correct in language is usually more a function of convention rather than functionality. There just aren't rules to handle this. It can either be "he logs in" where we just revert to the two word version, which appears to be the most common approach, or you just conjugate and recombine. "He logsin". This is harder to recognize and pronounce so I prefer the former. Eventually, the matter will get settled by convention and then grammar nazis will nitpick people for not knowing the rules for conjugating verb phrases correctly.
I found this out as I was going to their site to sign-up for an account - which now I can't do. Does anyone know of some alternatives they would recommend?
Exactly, given the great opportunity he had a chance at the author should have been far more patient and dare I say a bit more professional.

The experience I've had with dealing with big corps is very much "hurry up and wait". Often this is a symptom of the structure and politics of bigger institutions, where you don't have to convince just the person you are dealing with but convince them to convince others. If they decide to try to bring you in it is their reputation on the line, a reputation that could be damaged even if the deal never goes anywhere.

I've been caught in the middle of some nasty office politics that have totally killed negotiations because I had the wrong guy championing my cause.

Oh and does it strike anyone else as a bit unprofessional to go posting correspondence to the world? I'd certainly think twice before dealing with anyone who had done this in the past, talk about burning bridges! Or am I alone in expecting a certain measure of privacy in my business comms?
Some retailers require you to start the checkout process find how how much shipping (and possibly tax) will cost. When I am shopping around for something, I'll often go partway through the checkout process just to get a cost I can compare with other retailers.

Even worse, some retailers (occasionally Amazon) require you to add something to your cart to see the sale price, which presumably they aren't allowed to "advertise."

I'd bet that very few of these lost sales are really lost sales. Either some other retailer got the customer's business or the customer decided not to purchase from anywhere.
I imagine iOS4 multitasking on a 128mb device would be horrible. The OS has grown with every release; there's probably even less memory for apps to work with in 4.0. I think Apple would rather see complaints of not supporting the 3G rather than scathing reviews of how poorly it performs.

No updates for a 3 month old phone is quite a large difference from leaving a hardware-limited feature out of an update to a 2 year old device.
>>>Eh, try using the next button?

Do you know there was such a button on the phone he had? He doesn't state the model. And since HTC plasters its Sense over Android, could he have encountered it there?
I don't know why you're being downvoted. This is correct. Landing pages can and should be a/b-tested to the death. If you're gonna a/b-test anything, it's gotta be your landing page!
Usually pretty indentation helps people read and scan the code faster, and using a tool to auto-format the code is a very small time investment that helps save reading time in the long run.
