Because they actually derive their entire income from work done and assets owned in the USA, and don't even really live in Singapore.
>Can anyone confirm if this will solve my problem reliably?

Yes, but at the cost of wasting most of your (very expensive) ink. Rather than finding that your printer head is blocked after a few months, you'll find that the cartridge is empty.

The ink nozzles on a printer head are a few tens of microns across. It's an engineering miracle that they work at all.

If you print photos very infrequently, the best option is to use a local copy centre or order your prints online. A 6x4 print typically costs about 10p and many companies offer same-day collection from high street shops.
I don't understand this comment. You left because the updates were frequently required? Or because some aspect of applying the updates was difficult?
Or, even better, the printer exposes toner levels and page count -- it's a printer, what else is there to know? -- via SNMP so you can, say, put it in Observium and get nice graphs with minimal effort.
Which NLP system are far worse than which rule based systems?

The statement is odd for two reasons. One is that plenty of NLP is rule based, the other is that NLP isn't a form of A/B testing, which is the overall topic here..
I had never put two and two together on this, probably in part because the sewing machines I own are 70 and 90 years old (A Singer 15-90 and a Standard SewHandy, which I adore)

I've seen modern ones that do computerized embroidery, and I guess it makes sense that there's a lot of overlap between the technology underpinning a sewing machine that does embroidery and a printer. They both require precisely positioning something in two axes over a fairly large area.

I wonder if Brother or somebody else who makes embroidery machines is really the perfect company to bring 3-d printing to the home. They have the expertise at not only the software and hardware side of building the embroidery machines, but also the experience of doing it cheaply and reliably enough for the mass market.

Assuming there's really a market for a 3-d printer in the $200 to $500 range, anybody who makes embroidery machines should be a Z-axis, build platform, and extruder head away from taking the world by storm. As an added bonus, they don't have to make all the other stuff that makes an embroidery machine expensive: the parts that actually do the sewing.

Thanks for making that connection for me!

Running their numbers:

Assuming the usual sqrt(n+1) error on a count, as n is low. Combining the uncertainties from 83/66 [0] gives 1.258 +- 0.231 (1sd). It's only just likely that it is an actual improvement, but there is about a 30% chance that the orignal was better.

[0] (((1+66^0.5)/66)^2+((1+83^0.5)/83)^2)^0.5x83.0/66

EDIT

If we also include the errors on the total counts and use the fraction 83.0/66/6362x6392, then the error is:

(((1+66^0.5)/66)^2+((1+83^0.5)/83)^2+((1+6362^0.5)/6362)^2+((1+6392^0.5)/6392)^2)^0.5x83.0/66/6362x6392

which shows an improvement of 1.264+-0.234. Stastically nout.

I do think the potential for self-driving cars is vast. Personally I'd rather not own a car, but subscribe to a fleet of self-driving cars. Then the issue I made a sarcastic comment about would be moot.

This is appealing to me because I have no special attachment or interest in cars other than as a means to get from point A to point B. I understand many people enjoy car ownership and the culture surrounding it, but I just want a tool.
Aha -- the other shoe drops for freemium models. Reversing your 'natural' cost model to boost sales (printer costs more to make so should cost more to sell) starts an arms race with the consumer and rival ink-makers.

Somehow you've managed to miscount the numbers, misrepresent your wrong numbers, and miss the point all at once.

The point is that you still have contributed no idea of what portion of startups are starting in SF. If 95% of startups come out of SF but only 80% of winners do, it still has an overwhelming majority but is by the numbers a terrible place to start a startup.

Of the top 25 international, only about half are American, so stop pretending the denominator is 25 if you've decided that international companies for some reason don't count. There are 2 in LA, one in Boston, and 1 in NYC (what list are you looking at?), giving the Bay Area something like 2/3 of American companies, and about 1/3 of all.

It is clear that the energy density of gravitational storage is severely disadvantaged."

The math behind the security gain by increasing the key length of an RSA key seems slighly more complicated then one might expect. Here is a (short) introduction by the GnuPG folks:

https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html#no_default_of_rsa40...

Shorter version: RSA-4096 is roughly 28bits over RSA-2048 (112 vs 140 bits).

Anyone who ever read about optimization, greedy algorithms or spent at least five minutes thinking about markets will be able to point out the problem - local minima. What consumers want is determined by what is available (and marketed), you have a feedback loop that ends up doing a lot of stupid shit. That's why, because we're smarter than bacteria, we augment markets with things like regulations, to kick them out of local minima.

In this case, the free market is doing stupid shit again.

Mentioned in the presentation, but there are also much lower practical limitations with readdir(), stat(), etc, when you have lots of files in a single directory. If you want to be able to use ls, find, tar, etc without waiting eons:

A typical workaround is to to take a hash (md5 or similar) of the filename and then pick some number of nested directories to store it in.

Like: md5("data-file-one") == "0278c2451c1cd1dd98815260159c44e0"

Assuming you go with 4 levels, then:

mkdir -p "0/2/7/8/c" &&
mv data-file-one 0/2/7/8/c/data-file-one

I believe apache's mod_cache takes this approach.
I will add another suggestion, if you use S3 at all... one of your largest costs is likely the bandwidth. Have you considered just placing caches in front?

I took a $100 per month S3 bill down to $5 per month by simply having existing Nginx servers enable a file cache.

It does help that I never need to cache purge (versions are saved in S3 and become URLs), but it was super trivial to just wipe out $95 per month of cost for zero extra spend.

My current setup is:

S3 contains user photos, web app (not on AWS) handles POST/GET for S3 (and storing local knowledge), Nginx at my edge has a cache that is currently around 28GB of files, and then CloudFlare in front of all of this saves me around 2TB of bandwidth per month.

The real gotcha for me is that I was relying on CDNs for my cache, but when CDNs reach 50+ PoPs I was starting to see multiple requests for the same thing as a result of people in different cities requesting a file. So the Nginx cache I've added mostly deals with this scenario and prevents additional S3 cost being incurred.
> how did people visualize/understand Fourier without all the neat abstractions, metaphors, and history ?

The answer to that is, I think, exactly why so many people don't like math; because, in math discovery, first comes the history, in the sense of the problem that motivates the nrew technique, then comes the metaphor comes, and only then is the math (which I suppose is what you mean by 'abstractions'?) built around it.

Math professors, whether out of ignorance (we don't know the history), or preference (we learned this way and we like it), or even just time constraints (there's not time in a standard semester class to tell the full story of the concepts), will often teach only the math, or treat the intuition and metaphor as secondary; but they were, of course, the entire genesis of the subject.

No-one retrofits intuition to mathematics; mathematics is rather a way for experienced practitioners to 'sanity-check' and formalise the intuition that they already have.
Interesting story. Do you have any source for that?

I sadly had to bid adieu to my Brother 8080DN a few weeks ago after the dishwasher leaked and a bunch of water ran through the floor onto it.

A B/W duplex laser printer with a document feeder is a fantastic thing when you have your own business. They're a couple hundred dollars and they do Just Work. If you need color printing, you should send it to your local print shop who will do a better job than any inkjet ever will; if you need to print contracts, sign them, and scan them, a B&W laser printer with a document feeder is a godsend.
I find it hard to blame Drupal when the security patches that would have prevented access were available, but simply not applied. This is like blaming Ford when your car engine seizes up because you never changed the oil.

The text of the article betrays a troublesome double standard, saying things like:

> Because WordPress and Drupal are so mundane nowadays, people easily forget that they are continuously online targets for malicious activities.

Of course, all websites, regardless of which software, are continuously online and targets for malicious activities.

> Since there is no single entity to blame for Drupal or many Open Source CMSes, as opposed to commercial entities like Oracle or Microsoft - there is no single source to point take responsibility.

If you fail to apply Oracle and Microsoft patches in a timely manner, you will get hacked on those platforms too. And it won't be Oracle's or Microsoft's fault.

> Increased awareness of web services security matters is required from the Open Source communitities so that we will avoid large information leaks in the future.

This has nothing to do with the Open Source communities--Drupalgeddon was patched months ago. This is simply a business that failed to pay enough attention to their technology--a situation that is sadly very common.
> Or that they have kept with the times and understand the notion of opportunity cost.

That's not keeping up with times, that's poisoning the well because others do it too. By making such choices a site author is making the Internet worse for everyone.

I'm starting to think there should be some kind of "how not to be an ass on the Internet" course that would be mandatory before you're allowed to do business on-line.

Yep, you are right. There was Ember.State and Ember.StateManager, but it was extracted from the final v1.0.0. Instead of having one universal State Manager, router, views, etc got they own.

However, this universal State Manager is still exist and you can add to your project. https://github.com/emberjs/ember-states

After spending 15 minutes in the source code, it is ready to use... for example, it is brilliant to manage states in a component tree, where the original router would overkill.
Still using an HP LaserJet 1200 I bought in 1999.

Uses the 75X toner cartridge, which is still in production. Costs about $50 for ~5000 sheets worth of printing (which is about 5 to 6 years). Has a USB port, so it's networked through an Apple Airport Express. 600dpi, and does envelopes just as well. The drivers are the old school LaserJet/JetDirect drivers, so they'll likely be supported until the heat death of the universe.

Way back, I used to see these things in the field that have printed 15-20 times as many pages without even needing a replacement anything. I think 300-500K sheets is when they needed basic servicing.

I think I paid $600 in 1999. Not cheap, but 17 years of foolproof dead reliable service and not even needing to install/configure drivers has made it worth every cent.
Paris is a disruptive innovation, though just not one that the tech world sees an opportunity.

This is a crappy, click-bait article and the advice it gives is bad.

First, the politics of ink management, which is probably half the article, have very little to do with the title, especially the "even the best ones" part. If you plan and budget to pay for the authorised ink (and you should plan your consumables and price them in when buying anything that uses consumables), printers generally won't suck, especially the best ones. TANSTAAFL.

Second, the most important point isn't being made: If your needs are such that you think you need a cheap inkjet colour printer, think again. If you need to print a lot, get a real, big mid-to-high-end colour laser printer (and/or a mid-to-high-end specialised photo printer). You'll make up the initial cost on a more sensible consumables approach. However, chances are heavily in favour of you not actually needing this. Mail-order your photo prints or go to the pharmacy. Have the occasional colour prints done at a copy shop (and if it's for a client meeting, have them finish the product professionally for you while they're at it). It's much more expensive per copy, but probably not by much at the end of the day.

Third, get a wifi-networked Brother laser printer. They are cheap and solid and the original toner is reasonably enough priced that I've never been seriously tempted by third-party alternatives.

> Call me cynical, but I'm a bit skeptical that a company would pay more than they had to.

I think it also depends on the type of company and what they are after -- are they looking to save money by outsourcing or are they looking to expand their talent pool? If they are looking to expand their talent pool, it is more likely to get closer to what the company HQ is, minus some "remote work" discount.

After all, if I'm the manager of some San Francisco tech. company and I can get a great programmer (even by San Francisco standards) for a 20% discount to local talent, which I know is a 20-30% rate above what they programmer will be paid in their community in a fly over state -- it's win-win for everyone involved and they are much less likely to leave.

I wonder where the tipping is at which it's more economical to own/lease your infrastructure instead of AWS/Azure/etc.?

The company is certainly large enough to have their own infrastructure team.

Im of the belief that technical people and managers should really be at the same level financially and otherwise quite honestly. That's really the only way I can see the whole manager/programmer thing can work out for the benefit of everyone. When you have non-technical managers or technical-managers who's skills are out of date making decisions on behalf of the programmers you end up with a mess. That is often the case. The people who you hired as experts are the ones the management should be listening to... not necessarily managers who really only function as a way to grease the communication channels.

I know at a lot of places I've worked managers only function is to keep programmers out of meetings so they can do the real work. Management is really a bad title. I think the mgmt structure needs flattening and the current system pits management against programmers... I think this has to change....as well as the whole management track vs technical track. The technical people are what you need to build the products. No amount of managers is going to get you a product without a programmer to build the products.

Companies are so obsessed with hierarchy that they lose themselves in the politics of it all. I think companies and people need to embrace the idea that programmers and communication people are at the same level in terms of financial benefits and in terms of treatment at a company and that technical experts should be making decisions not necessarily managers.

Awesome & terrifying. The scary side of this is when you wonder: how much trace evidence of the past is evaporating unseen because we don't know how to use it yet?

Archaeologists have been on a fundraising kick for the last few years to discover and preserve new ice age sites being uncovered by climate change. That's cool but this trace chemical analysis is even cooler.

Also check out the research on doggerland, the submerged landscape between england and norway. We are fairly sure from pollen and topography that this land was inhabited ~13kya, and have recovered some artifacts from dredging and fishing, but underwater archaeology is optimized for excavating wrecks; the techniques don't exist yet to discover ancient human habitation of submerged land.

I found nothing meaningful in this post.

I know for a certainty that "1995 — “Internet is a toy”" deeply and seriously mischaracterizes the history.

Why should I believe that those other quotes (like, “GUI is a toy” for 1986) are real and characteristic of then-current beliefs? Why does it only show evidence for the incorrectness of the quote, and not evidence of who made the quote?

The transistor was a major disruption that was not, as far as I know, ever considered "a toy". Nor was the integrated circuit. Nor was the blue LED.
