That's why my HP printer only has a black cartridge. The socket for the color cartridge is empty.
I think this is an excellent solution, but it is one that won't be replicable by cities like NY, Seattle, or San Francisco until they fix their housing cost problems. If you think about it from a systems perspective, with inflows and outflows, you will begin to see the problem.

1) Inflows: higher housing costs increase the inflow into homelessness. Whether it is job loss, drug addiction, mental illness, or whatever...if you have higher housing costs, you are more likely to end up homeless.

2) Outflows: higher housing costs become a higher bar to leaving homelessness. Let's say someone can address, over time, their underlying cause to homelessness. That person will take longer to overcome the bar of housing costs in a high cost area than an equivalent person with lower housing cost bars to overcome.

Both of these arguments seem obvious, almost tautological, but combined what you have is a higher rate of inflows, and a lower rate of outflows. This means two things: ceteris paribus, you have more homeless people, and the homeless people that you do have take longer to leave homelessness.

Now take into account the fact that in high housing cost areas, housing costs more to build because land prices and construction prices are higher (even taking into account Eminent Domain), and you have:
1) More demand (in terms of quantity of people) for relief housing
2) Higher expected time of use of housing.
3) Higher cost of building housing.

These factors are multiplicative, not additive. Combined, I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of attaining the same success rate is two orders of magnitude higher in San Francisco than it is in Salt Lake City. Construction costs alone take care of your first order of magnitude...now multiply those by the higher inflow rates and outflow rates.

This solution is obvious, but you can't put the cart before the horse. Salt Lake City never had to worry about it...San Francisco does.
I think this is a very good point. Population density seems to play a crucial role in the dynamics of group behavior, not just in phenomenon of the article, but in many other aspects of society as well.
One of the big questions when Pichette announced he was retiring was whether or not Google would be able to find someone who had his level of skill. This was factored into the stock price, which remained flatish or slightly down from March of 2015 until Porat's first earnings report.

The market hates uncertainty, and priced that in. Google is famous for being undisciplined and Porat's hiring dramatically reduced the uncertainty around Google's discipline.

I don't pretend that it was all Porat that caused the jump (and you are misreading--rather ungenerously--me by saying that I'm treating this like a lucky shirt). But Google had no other step-wise jump like that in its history, and no other tech company had a similar rise in roughly the same couple of weeks.

The market was waiting to see what Google would do without Pichette. Porat answered the question.

If it only happens on printers that have received a certain firmware update, then it's unlikely to be a cert expiration on the cartridge side.
Some people build these with painted beer can columns on the inside serving as air ducts, see this video for an example: https://youtu.be/nuxanLdtwZQ

They also tend to install it on the side wall; it doesn't get that much sunshine in the summer, but it becomes more efficient in the winter when the Sun stays at lower angles. External circulation of air is still required and is usually done by using an electric fan.
The problem with avoiding Canon is that essentially any desktop laser printer on the market is in fact largely Canon's product (and the best of them in terms of reliability and TCO are little more than Canon made print engine in a plastic box).

On the other hand I have reasonably good experiences with OKI and Brother LED printers. These printers tend to be reasonably cheap (I've got OKI multifunction on sale for ~150 EUR), are full Postcript/PCL printers and supplies are reasonably cheap too, both original and third-party.

> I just want to point out that those are two very different drugs as far as effects and potency go.

Eh, you were probably experiencing the effects of improper dosing (as well as - I'm assuming - different means of ingestion).

Methamphetamine is just amphetamine with an additional methyl group, which makes it cross the blood-brain barrier more easily, and means that a lower dosage by weight is necessary for the same outcome.

Methamphetamine is metabolized almost identically to amphetamine, which means that the pharmacokinetic impact is the same.

The main difference is that methamphetamine is generally smoked (or occasionally snorted and injected), whereas amphetamine is prescribed orally. Also, unless you were prescribed Desoxyn, there's the other question of how pure and reliable the methamphetamine is, and what other compounds were present.

Can someone explain to me how this fits into Schema.org's core mission (which, as I understand it, is basically to provide a lightweight ontological overlay on pages to assist search engines)? This seems like an attempt to build a formal project-management ontology for systems that will never get indexed by Google -- an effort that might benefit more from the Basic Formal Ontology as a starting point.
I'm in Silicon Valley and I know someone working in their outsourcing group. HP has a "secret" office where they try to get all their development offshore. They will arrange travel visas to rotate people from other countries into hotels to work on projects. It is coordinated across the entire company in order to cut costs. I wish that we wouldn't allow such companies to sell in the United States (ie. companies that hide their income and employ offshore in order to avoid employing US employees. Such companies shouldn't be able to sell in the US.)
WashPost has definitely been on a visible decline since Jeff Bezos bought it. Extremely partisan and it tends to argue for the government (infamous "golden key" editorial, etc), rather than against it (in case we've all forgotten by now, that was supposed to be the job of the press). A lot of its articles are also Buzzfeedy and factfree.

Why were you prescribed Desoxyn if you're able to function with 30mg of Adderall? That's not at all an unreasonably high dose. Desoxyn is usually only prescribed when the dosage by weight of Adderall would be too high.

The point isn't that no one else could have. The point is that no one else did.

And I don't attribute it solely to her. Certainly the company's performance was the major factor. But the market was largely reacting to the change in certainty around Google's financial discipline.

While it doesn't look like it's true anymore (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/hotspotfaq-138619.htm...), I sure seem to remember the Hotspot JVM having an option for 32 bit pointers for ... code, I think it was.

dec0dedab0de: "As an aside, does anyone remember the last time they were happy with ANY HP product? "

For the record, a company with which I consulted was very happy with the HP 1000/2100 series computers, and especially the exquisite keyboards that now-terminated HP employees once made, with tender loving care, for those computers. I suspect that one of these computers is stored safely in an underground cave somewhere awaiting it's rediscovery, alongside a somewhat-notorious VW beetle:

How much throughput do you need and how reliable does it need to be? Also are you in an area that gets a lot of rain? If you need something highly reliable and high throughput 6ghz licensed is probably your best bet, but it won't be particularly cheap compared to unlicensed. You could try 2.4ghz, but if 5ghz is swamped then the other unlicensed bands probably are as well. There's also 5.2 through 5.4 ghz, but they also might be swamped and you have to do dfs, meaning your link can (and probably will) shut off for a minute at a time every time it thinks it hears weather radar. There's also 3.65ghz that could be an option. (I'm assuming you're in the US, if not much of this probably isn't applicable.)

I don't know about "gifted," but I certainly suffer from this. I suspect most people have at some point.

I don't think of myself as "gifted." Some people have said I am, but I doubt it: I work hard, I read, I acquire knowledge. Anyone can do that.

Besides, even if I am gifted, It's not a healthy attitude to have. You start to get presumptuous, and arrogant, which means that you'll learn less. And I'm arrogant enough: I don't need a swelled head.

In short, statistically, I'm probably not gifted, and it's unhealthy to believe you're gifted anyways, so even if I am, I'm better off not knowing.

This might be totally insane, but it seems reasonable to me...
The title is a bit clickbaity, and I think Greenwald sometimes lets his politics get the better of him, but I think he makes a perfectly valid point here: it is not only difficult, but also impossible, to reconcile Washington Post's past reporting, together with their own claims of that reporting being in the public interest, with that editorial.

That said, I'm not sure I buy the explanation that it's about "protecting access". There are many cases where groupthink developed on its own just fine (like maybe the support for the Iraq war way back when), so it could be narrow self-serving interest, but it could also be incompetence. And don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity, and so on.

I don't know enough about Go to be sure, but it seems that there are multiple possible semantics here, and the choice made by its designers does not seem to be inherently more efficient than the alternatives, except perhaps for some rarely-used cases.

Also (though this may be going off-topic), imagining what instructions might be emitted has been known to mislead, especially in the face of aggressive optimization (looking at the actual compiler output may give you insight into the language's semantics, but reading the language's specification is probably an easier, quicker and more reliable route.)
Suburbs also used to have sidewalks, which made it easier and safer for younger children to explore a little. It just seems so bizarre to me to see newer ones with either sidewalks only on one side or the street or no sidewalks at all. I remember being very young and forbidden from crossing the street, but I pretty much had free reign of the sidewalk on the block I lived on.
That's a strawman attack. You imply that the entirety of applicable law was contained in that URL, which is false. The actual corpus of law a citizen and business owner must be aware of is the entirety of the law from Federal, State, County, and City, plus all private contracts to which I am bound, covering every activity you do. You're a lawyer sarcastically chastising me with a link to the specific law, and that is poorly done. The very existence of "lawyer" as a profession implies that the law is too complex for individuals to understand.

The computer science version of this would be some poor guy confused about TCP/IP and I could link to the precise part of the RFC that answered his question, with a sarcastic, "Right, that's so complex". I'd be an asshole if I did that.
The premise that scientific progress has been slower in the past 50 years than in the 50 before that, and incremental in a way that it was not in the past, seems untenable to me and consistent with the authors being nostalgic for an earlier time that perhaps does not exist. I’m pretty sure someone in 1965 would be impressed to hear that (1) we can engineer viruses that allow in vivo neurons to be controlled by light; (2) we can build robots that use reinforcement learning and ML techniques to drive around a city; or (3) we discovered that humans interbred with Neanderthal, by means of sequencing 40k-year-old bones. To me these projects seem as impressive as any of the past. They all benefited from massive collaborations and would have been impossible to do alone, even by a world-class genius with a plenitude of coffee, time, and tenure.

I also object to a few more minor points. Today we have many of yesteryear’s Bell Labs and new ones spring up every year. I think we might be in the most active time period ever for independent and industrial research labs — consider for example OpenAI, the Allen Institute, RAND corporation, Charles River laboratories, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Facebook, 2AI labs, Draper Laboratory, YC Research, IBM Watson Group, Communications Design Group, Xerox PARC, fivethirtyeight, New York Times R&D lab, Microsoft Research* , Google* , Bose Corporation, and SRI, not to mention the hundreds of biotech startups and tech companies that do applied reseach (*s because they are acknowledged in the article). Interestingly, I think Nokia Bell Labs might itself qualify as a modern Bell Labs — it still exists, and in 2014 a scientist was awarded the Nobel Prize for work done there in the 1980s, which is after the authors’ cutoff.

Furthermore, I’d be interested in seeing evidence that discoveries of the past can be at least in part attributed to a lack of communication between the scientist and others, and that today’s levels of communication are greater and that it has a negative impact. I have evidence that at least one world-class scientist of the past, Francis Galton, spent a ton of time communicating with others and used what he learned from that communication as a core part of his most important works (see, in particular, his autobiography, which discusses his communication in detail). Similarly, at least some classic big discoveries of the past, such as Watson & Crick’s DNA work, was possible only because there was more than one person involved — in fact, more than two.
I assume you are excluding the top companies or not considering stock and bonus compensation? Because $170k is closer to a new grad compensation package at places like Google or Facebook.
The reason there are so many homeless is because they can't build slums for themselves like in developing countries such as India. Living in a slum would be better than being homeless. But in America, the police would tear them down.
I also have the C301dn and am very satisfied with it compared to previous printers (inkjets). Works when you need it even after months of non-usage and toner replacements are cheap off ebay.

Get enough sleep.

Learn to chunk large bits of information.

Get a high level overview before diving into the small details.

Learn to use things you already know to make connections to new topics.

Don't over learn, cramming in one go rarely works, it's best to study, forget about it, come back at it, it will stick with more exposure. meaning, get the knowledge into your long term memory.

Use pomodoro technique, to beat procrastination.
just because your idea of gandhi doesn't match gandhi in real life, you cannot just say "even gandhi wasn't gandhi". Mandela and Gandhi were just humans fighting for equal rights for the oppressed. As a programmer, once you think about the rights one enjoys as a white and feels the double standard a non-white experiences trying to have that same right -when you think about it abstractly as rights of humans, anyone who can empathize will feel rage at the double standards that still exists. You have to go back nearly 50 years and think the standards that existed at the time. When I think that way, I think Mandela and Gandhi were incredibly brave. Because Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk is entirely different.

How did the ISIS come into existence. It is the end result of USA and other western countries that tried to arm people to revolt violently against an existing government. That government might be monarchy/dictatorship. But that is no reason for USA to arm people against that government. Those who take up arms are those inherently leaning towards a violent side. Internal politics of other countries shouldn't be meddled with. The people of a country should struggle and push through reforms to a better government. But once violent extremists rooting for the cause has been armed, as the first blood spills there is no reason anymore to both sides. I badly want to beat up all war mongers in the world.

These stupid plans are all treating symptoms instead of treating the root cause of terrorism.

I almost cared until I read the snarky, passive aggressive tone this article took along with the fact that it intentionally attempts to frame the entire situation differently from how it actually happened.

Well, that's what Mr.Robot taught us
"The city of Vienna / Europe spends 632 Mio € alone on social housing."

You've never been to Vienna or Austria if you are comparing San Francisco to Austria.

Austria has a relatively homogenous culture, very conservative society (culturally, not politically).

Relatively low rates of labour mobility meaning that you 'know your neighbours' - generally a communitarian attitude, (as opposed to fairly libertarian attitude in SF and US in general) and they don't have industries that generate tons more $ than others, which means no housing bubbles. You can rent flats not too far outside of Vienna very inexpensively.

Just some things come to mind.

Money matters, but it matters less than social conventions and culture.

My hometown (in Canada) spends $0 on social housing (however, there is welfare and healthcare) and there is no homelessness. That said, housing is extremely inexpensive, and nobody really has a lot of money or opportunity either.
I think it's healthy, especially if those things are truly and deeply beyond your influence or control.
Yep. I think most of us have this, gifted or no.

Cannot agree with this more. I'm a little sick of all these articles on how science is in so much trouble and is doomed. I've been a biologist now for ~18 years. In that time, I've seen so much advancement and real breakthroughs I'm at times astounded and giddy. If folks are really disappointed in the progress in at least biology over the last two decades, people aren't paying attention. I am also very optimistic that progress will only continue to accelerate.

I'm not saying it's a perfect system, or it wouldn't be nice to a be a little less competitive, easier to get longer-term grants, more stable and certain paths for careers, etc – but to say the system is not producing important results is in my opinion wrong.
> Greenwald sometimes lets his politics get the better of him

Sometimes? That's his whole raison d'etre. He's a political campaigner in all but name. One may or may not like his politics, but let's not pretend that he's a dispassionate observer.
