"A society that aims for equality before freedom, will end up with neither equality nor freedom."

Laws are not meant to lift people from poverty. PEOPLE must lift themselves so far as to lift each other out of poverty. One of the basic functions of government is to protect people from other people (both land and rights). Now, "rights" is where things tend to become grey. Who should determine what those rights are? The government? People? A majority? San Francisco is an excellent study in what can happen when government plays a role it is not fit to oversee.

Now, Larkin Street is an excellent case study on how the private sector fills in that space governments leaves open when they play around with policy. The aim here is to continue to build these networks around support.
If this is affecting printers in Australia, then HP are going to learn a very costly lesson in ethics. The ACCC will have to do an investigation, but the instant they confirm this has occurred they will face stiff fines for third line forcing and anti-competitive behaviour distorting the market.
I'm starting to see a trend in the comments where anyone who actually posts something rational that makes sense gets down voted.

He is right, no one used the Gameboy as a media player.
As another poster points out, modern blades are different than older style blades where the blade was just a thin piece of sharp metal. I have one from my great grandfather... the blades are the definitely the cheap, disposable part. That's the model which the idea refers to.
Interesting. Someone should check out all 50 US state legislatures.

The nearby rooms are important. In the UK's parliament, much business is done in the halls outside the chamber. In the US, each party has their own "cloakroom" next to the House and Senate chamber. Those are hangout rooms, with couches, TVs, phones, and food. Maybe it's a mistake that there are separate ones for each party.
Really interesting story thanks for sharing.

From two years ago, but here's an account of the second attempt from a blind (iPhone) user at using Android: https://marcozehe.com/30dayswithandroid/
I recall reading something about this a long time ago, maybe over 10 years ago, that administering amphetamine as soon as possible(?) after a stroke reduces the number of brain cells that die and improves recovery.

Even back when I first heard of this I assumed that it would translate to at least some other forms of brain injury, and I assumed it had to do with the central nervous system stimulatory effects of amphetamine (increase activity which means increase blood flow).

A quick search on scholar.google.com for the terms amphetamine stroke shows at least a few first page results from the '80s.

Here's one from 1982[1] and 1988[2]

From the second link: Patients treated with amphetamine obtained greater increments in motor scores than the controls.

We ought not discount the possible positive uses of amphetamine and other drugs just because of their bad reputation for recreation use and abuse potential. I suppose.

Who designed the WikiLeaks logo? – Design history
Let me tell you the story of how I got involved in the Perl 6 community.

I was trying to find out how Perl 6 was progressing, and found a broken link on a related website (pugscode.org, now defunct). So I went into the #perl6 IRC channel to report it.

Within three minutes, Audrey Tang (to become minister without portfolio in Taiwan in October) had committed a fix, somehow found an email address of mine, and sent me a commit bit to the central SVN repo that contained the Pugs project (the Perl 6 implementation in Haskell she was working on), the source to various websites, the Perl 6 test suite, and a lot of other stuff around the ecosystem. Just because I reported a broken link.

It was the most inclusive community I've ever experienced.

They had written a custom web app to manage email-based invites to an SVN repo, where everybody with commit access could invite somebody else.

Today, we try to carry on her inclusiveness, and give just about everybody who wants write access to all repos of the perl6 organization on github. We have a github team with more than 220 members and about 40 repos, including the Perl 6 design documents, the official test suite, the perl6.org website and the official docs. I haven't heard of a single instance of vandalism or other misuse of the trust.

Want to contribute to Perl 6? Just tell me your github username!
I created 2 events on FB yesterday and what really annoyed me was that i couldnt select FB Live as the location so people knew where to go at the time of the event. The location options are always limited. Do you have something that will cover that
Was that the point of the article? I didn't read it that way. E.g.: "In conclusion, if you use micro-services or NoSQL databases, do your homework! Choose appropriate boundaries for your systems."
They have 2 MegSafe versions in 10 years (MegSafe was introduced in 2006), the 2nd one was necessary to make slimmer laptops. Same thing with 30-pin connector and lightning. Lightning was before USB-C and it's superior to the old 30-pin connector.

Btw, MegSafe is one of the best thing about MacBooks, I'm actually sad they're not using it in the new MacBook.

The article is not about self-organizing ad-hoc networks. No, all the organization is at Master Control in the "cloud". This seems to assume that all nodes have solid connectivity to the "cloud", and are just leaf connection points for nearby devices.

That's what WiFi does.
I haven't really thought about it recently, but (parts of) Asia seems to have this whole printer ink thing figured out. Just about every printer I see in Thailand has the tubes coming out which go to bottles similar to this [1]. There are little refill stations in malls, and that seems to be the standard. No overpriced OEM cartridges, just a straight ink reservoir.

Well, I don't know if panic is the right option.

However, checking the return value is always a good idea, and any errors should at least be logged.

I too wish it was less cumbersome to use defer properly.
You don't need to, just look at countries that actually take care of their mentally ill instead of warehousing them or tossing them on the streets. You don't need to come up with a solution, you just need to learn about the ones that have existed for years.

Are they perfect? No, but as I often see here in relation to new technologies with far less at stake and far less of a proven track record, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."
You shouldn't be down-voted.

Due to the current climate of race-diversity and gender-equality, there is an incredibly high demand for female employees in fields and jobs that females generally don't go into.

This creates a demand for ANY-level talent of that variety - no matter the qualifications or abilities (companies will even start a bidding war over the person).

There are even examples of companies openly bragging about not hiring new employees (or at least making it very difficult to do so) that are male and/or white (e.g., GitHub); or not using suppliers that are male and/or white (e.g., Sam's Club CEO).
Yeah, how has that been working out for us? Other than losing money in a desert, what have we actually achieved?

If you want to stop the migration we're going to see in the coming decades, it won't be war, but wholesale slaughter. Frankly, that conflicts too strongly with our view of ourselves as good people.

Besides, war with whom? Tens of millions of people fleeing their homes? Are you going to go to war with migrants, or maybe you think bombing their homes a bit more will make them less likely to leave?
OK, but done better by Anthony Bourdain in his famous book:

“To want to own a restaurant can be a strange and terrible affliction. What causes such a destructive urge in so many otherwise sensible people? Why would anyone who has worked hard, saved money, often been successful in other fields, want to pump their hard-earned cash down a hole that statistically, at least, will almost surely prove dry? Why venture into an industry with enormous fixed expenses (rent, electricity, gas, water, linen, maintenance, insurance, license fees, trash removal, etc.), with a notoriously transient and unstable workforce, and highly perishable inventory of assets? The chances of ever seeing a return on your investment are about one in five.
...

“The easy answer, of course, is ego. The classic example is the retired dentist who was always told he threw a great dinner party. 'You should open a restaurant,' his friends tell him. And our dentist believes them. He wants to get in the business — not to make money, not really, but to swan about the dining room signing dinner checks like Rick in Casablanca.”
Agreed. P4 is synonymous for Perforce. Did the project authors not do a cursory google first?

As for "unfortunately", what don't you like about it, apart from it not being what you're used to from elsewhere? I've used Visual Sourcesafe, Perforce and git, and Perforce seems like a perfectly decent source control system.

However, I won't deny that it would be nice to be able to manage multiple revisions locally so that I can explore different approaches and easily backtrack without having to commit to the central server.
Hmm, interesting. I'm running Ubuntu, so I feel that there must be a good way to hack into this myself (but honestly I'm not sure how to get started.)

First of all I assumed that you were European, since the only migrants from the Middle East and Africa we're getting here (US) are the few we're intentionally letting in. We have an ocean between us and them, and Europe is in the way with a lot more to offer frankly.

If you're American, your original comment was referring to the US immigration policy? That would make that original comment seriously misguided.

As to the basic point however that you can somehow vote someone into power who's going to change the reality of how the world is turning out... ha. Ha ha. Unless you're voting for someone who's literally talking about shooting people at the border and letting them drown at sea, you're falling for someone's lies because you desperately want to believe them.

Then I'd ask why you're so desperate to believe them.
Exactly. A lot of people seems to think Apple with only a 7% marketshare is small. But Apple are using some of the highest margin chips on their Laptop. I dont think it is anywhere close to 50% of Intel's PC market profits, but definitely in the range of 20-30%. Not to mention the marketing value of being inside Apple.

The next interesting question is at what price point would Intel give and Apple accept to continue using Intel x86 CPU inside Mac.
>Apple of course do it with constantly changing MagSafe variants

In the past ten years, there has been two variants of MagSafe adapters. You can adapt older chargers to the newer standard.

>choosing the superior (to USB2.0) reversible Lightning connector over the new industry standard, USB3.1 Type C.

Lightning (2012) is way older than USB Type-C (2014). Additionally, Lightning can handle USB 3.
Bandai did the same with the Wonderswan devices, which competed against the Game Boy Color and Advance. The device was only released in Japan around '98 - '01.

And so now, if you want to use headphones with it (and you do; as not only do you get stereo instead of monaural sound; you get an extra channel of audio so you'll be missing certain sound effects in some games without them!), you get to buy one of these pricey ($60-80) adapters for it, plus shipping fees from Japan: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361198122142

Of course, if you really want to see the fun of removing standardized ports, look no further than the Gamecube's component cables, which sell for a cool $250+ today: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131939975870

So, yeah. I'm strongly in favor of industry standard ports, even if it adds a few pennies onto the cost or a few mm onto the device size.
> emotional baggage due to family life, education, their personal measure of success in life

The emotional baggage is often due to none of that, but to an identity crisis and the search for a tribe to belong to.
I think the the more common impression from the book was that mortgage lenders were incentived not to ask questions, and banks were more than happy to take their offerings, repackage them, and resell them to dumb money.

Many at the banks seemed to know what was happening: remember how the price wasn't dropping as fast as they expected? That was Goldman covering their position and refusing to make the market at a reasonable price until they were safe.

The dumb banks for burnt of course.
I used to 'accidentally' 'misconfigure' my servers and watch what would show up. When a new group found such a server, it eas usually first used for 'internal distribution' of thr latest releases, especially if it was an fxp-capable server. After a while when it got more busy (hitting rate limits, disk full) it was downgraded to 'end user distribution'.

So I got to watch the latest leaked movies without having to directly deal with (spend time on) being 'inner circle' :)

Angular 2 – Faster Rendering with Ahead-Of-Time Compilation
There are lots of things right now which talk over two-way paging networks. This is called "machine to machine communication". Most messages look something like "A/C 3152 fault 00 cp1 ON cp2 OFF inside temp 72 outside temp 81". It's common to send text rather than binary so that both humans and machines can read the messages.

Millions of boring but important devices such as pumps, chillers, and fans are sending boring but useful messages like that. Traffic is low, maybe every hour or even once a day when things are normal. A fault generates an immediate message.

Power isn't a problem. Most of the devices which do this are attached to something that has far more power than a radio needs.
>Actually no, it still isn't.

^ Is what you really said, which didn't make sense even in context.

You pay taxes for what your democratically elected representatives determine it's for, not what you personally think - and like the WHO, they think some of it should be marginally spent on solving major public health concerns.
I didn't downvote, but I suspect he's getting downvoted because what he said is not rational, but actually a pretty bad rationalization.

The Gameboy Advanced SP is used to play video games, and I don't know of a single game on it that doesn't include music and sound-effects. In other words, 99% of the GBA SP's use case involves sound, in contrast to the iPhone, where there are plenty of apps that don't require sound, such as texting, browsing the web, looking at maps, etc.

Better to just accept that the SP not having a headphone jack was bad, but it sold anyway, and that the iPhone not having a headphone jack will be bad, but it'll probably sell anyway, instead of coming up with illogical post-hoc justifications for why it's okay for the SP but not the iPhone.
Having been at Google when Go was announced internally, I remember being disappointed that a modern statically typed language is repeating Tony Hoare's Billion Dollar Mistake (tm). (I was also disappointed that C interoperability required recompiling your C code using kenc so that it used the Go/Plan9 calling convention. Maybe this has since been fixed.)

I would have expected at least something a maybe/option type (or another mechanism to make optionality and refrences orthogonal concepts), if not full algebraic data types. Allowing Nil everywhere forces lots of otherwise unnecessary Nil checks and introduces myriad opportunities for bugs.

Stepping back and assuming that for whatever reason an ML/Haskel/Swift/Rust/etc.-like maybe/option type is out of the question: when a programmer is comparing a passed interface instance to nil, they're almost certainly trying to answer the question "can I really call the defined interface's methods on this instance?".

Having done very little Go programming, my mental model is that interface pointers are pointers to a tuple of meta-information (including dynamic dispatch table) and a pointer to the concrete type. I can understand that both the meta-information and the pointer to the value are necessary when comparing interface pointers. However, I don't understand the utility in there being a distinction at a language or ABI level between an interface pointer to a null value and a null pointer to the interface <metadata, value> tuple. In what situations is the semantic distinction useful? There may be some domains where the semantic difference is important, but it seems to me that in those cases you're better off using a field of an enumerated type, for the sake of cleaning up the semantics of nil interfaces.

Though, coming from languages with algebraic data types, (and C++, where they had the good sense to make null references undefined behavior), cleaning up semantics of Nil in a language with Hoare's Billion Dollar Mistake is a bit like passing a public safety ordinance requiring fire extinguishers to be on hand at all gasoline fights... definitely helpful on the one hand, but seeming to miss an understanding of the root problem on the other.

You can also buy mods for printers (I have a http://www.rihac.com.au/ ) to give them proper ink reservoirs.

When I got mine done (a canon) they requested my old empty cartridges, as they just grab the chip out of them and trick it into thinking its always full.
i'm in australia and bought some cheap fuji-xerox laser printer a year or so ago.

non-oem ink refills are far cheaper than oem ones. a large component of the cost of non-oem ink refills is getting a replacement chip that counts how many times you can print before it claims it needs refilling. you can buy more of these chips along with bulk ink refills. it's like DRM for ink or something.
FTA:

"Why Nintendo, why why why why why? The speaker is just as tinny and pathetic as the GBA, and thus if you have any intention of playing a game with the sound on while in the presence of human beings around, you'll know that you'll get that glare. Try the same thing on a train or a plane (or better still, in a library) and your life won't be worth living. Headphone socket. Where the hell is it?"

I don't know if you've ever played a handheld in public, or been around somebody doing it, but you do not want to be that jerk who forces everybody on the bus to listen to Mario stomp red turtles.

I think the words we use to think about how the mind works help limit our understanding.

For example, we refer that part of though, or intuition, whatever, that we don't do consciously (what does that even mean) as occurring subconsciously. If I understand correctly when people say 'subconsciously' they are refer to what happens outside of our awareness, as in like you say we don't sit there with a dictionary or a bunch of idea reference books and flick between the pages in order to form a thought.

But why the term subconscious.

sub-

1. a prefix occurring originally in loanwords from Latin ( subject; subtract; subvert; subsidy); on this model, freely attached to elements of any origin and used with the meaning “under,” “below,” “beneath” ( subalpine; substratum), “slightly,” “imperfectly,” “nearly” ( subcolumnar; subtropical), “secondary,” “subordinate” ( subcommittee; subplot).

I conjecture that using the word subconscious causes a linguistic trap that results in us undervaluing what goes on in our minds.

Also I think what most people think of when they think of thinking is merely the subvocalisation[1] or internal dialogue we run in mind. Here I agree with what you've written that, actually all, logical connections are done with intuitive reasoning.

NB I'm a complete armchair amateur at philosophy / psychology / neurology. Of course everyone's got a consciousness so we're all experts. Right.

I use notmuch instead of mu4e, and have been quite happy with it for the last 7 years or so. The org integration is good, though I don't actually use it all that much. What is indispensable for me, though, is being able to start a longer message in a text file, save it, open a message window, (C-x i) the message file, pull in some code or text from another buffer -- basically to treat my longer emails the way I treat any other piece of text that I'm working on.

Similarly, if I'm writing, any mail (or attachment) from the last decade is just a few key strokes and a search query away, without ever really taking my eyes off my current buffer.

I know there are other ways to accomplish the same thing, but that close link between my mail and the rest of my writing is the main benefit, for me, of having my mail in emacs.

I'm pretty sure there are more open 3D printer projects, than open paper printer projects. Which just reinforces the differences between 2D and 3D printing.
Laser OKI color printer isn't different.

Each toner (CMYK) has a life based on printed pages and stop working even if there's toner inside. No third part supplier, because the printer won't recognize it. And it's useless torefill it if you don't change some chip in each toner.

And then the fusor will also stop after some number of pages, no matter if the quality was still good. To replace it you spend more than you paid for the printer.

So OKI was in my banned list, now HP joins it.
