I don’t think that “is it OK if we have your printer collect metadata about your devices and what you print, and then use it online advertising?” is a question that HP should even be asking. They already know the answer, and all they’re really doing is giving people who have already paid them several hundred dollars for a cheap but functional printer the opportunity to make a mistake.

...is so true, and HP are far from the only culprits here.
Its native but cross platform so many Mac purists don’t consider it as “native” as TextMate, which is built specifically for the Mac and doesn't compromise on standard Mac UI idioms.

Having said that, if they had known all the modern alternatives were going to be even less “native” amd run in a browser engine, they'd probably have been less nitpicky.

Great marketing
Meta: I see a lot of long form articles here without any comments and I wonder, are they upvoted by bots? What is there to learn from this? I load and read and read and read to find the significance and relevance to my life... something to learn, but I find nothing on the order of other content here. How can this have been on here 8 hours, with 25 upvotes, not a single comment and a consumption time-to-insight value that is very low relative to the majority of content at HN?

For what it's worth, what I did learn from reading this article is that it takes a "necessary talent" to understand the talent behind a work. The lay person, that person without talent, might be the kind who thinks, "I could paint that. The artist didn't even get the cheeks right" without even realizing the artist intentionally painted the cheeks that way knowing and resisting the urge to preemptively counter criticisms about said cheeks.

Maybe it's my old cynical self, but by this time in my life, I know most people don't have the capacity or experience to understand the amount of thought that goes into a work of art or architecture or ... software.

Perhaps the whole point of this article is to waste time learning something you already know.

I use S3 for hosting static sites only, and only in North American zones.

Some time ago, I see some billing lines stating:

"US West (Oregon) data transfer to Asia Pacific (Tokyo) 0.001 GB $0.01"

I had no idea why I'd be paying for transfer to a zone outside my own. Obviously I don't care about the 1cent, but my small problem may be someone else's big problem.

Instead of looking into it, they refunded me a month of service (a few dollars).

I guess that's the opposite of @QuinnPig's thought, but seriously, what was the charge for? Someone running their own crawler on EC2 so I paid for internal DC-DC charges?
A ridiculously high percentage of music producers these days are making serious bank by taking precisely this approach.
> China Telecom (CT) entered North American networks at the beginning of the 2000s, and has since grown to have 10 PoPs, eight in the US and two in Canada, spanning both coasts and all the major exchange points in the US. Few other non-American ISPs has such a wide-spread presence on US soil.

So can't the US government just shut them down?

I mean, do US firms operate ten PoPs in China?
The government’s rollout has been nothing short of a debacle. First they limit production and then because there is an expectation of a shortage (surprise surprise) they create an absurd Kafkaesque lottery (in every sense of the word, with unsophisticated winners with no experience raking in millions by teaming up with large established international players) which doesn’t take into account market demand and has now descended into lawsuits.
There's a lot of variety within brands. An organisation I work at has a small Canon laser printer (generally no problem with Canon) - we travel around a lot and often don't have internet connectivity. That thing is useless. It doesn't work with generic drivers and the CD is out of date. Every time we want to use a new machine we have to remember to download the drivers in advance.
That's what they promise today, a cartel of private corporations accountable to no-one, and with a legal obligation to maximise profits.

It needs to be a lot easier to detect this is happening and stop it from happening, in the router.

I almost never visit my router's web interface, and when I do it's either to reboot it because it's acting funky, or check if it needs a firmware update. There's just nothing useful there. It's absolutely packed full of totally useless information.

And yet such a golden opportunity to provide actually helpful management functionality of all the devices on the network.

I'm not saying there aren't good products out there that do this, just sort of lamenting that routers differentiate on the colorful plastic molding instead of actually helping to manage, monitor, speed up, secure, and protect my devices, and when needed, protect me from my devices.

Memory access time is bounded by a constant time - given by the last level in the hierarchy (which would be the SSD or HD in this case). So, access time is indeed O(1).

What's not true in the real world is that the actual value of the constant can be ignored. Memory or disk access on the one hand, and simple arithmetic operations on the other, are both O(1) but the difference is significant.

> In my opinion the one thing that makes it hard for sandstorm to grow is the requirement that apps have to specifically be modified to work on the platform

This is true, though of course without that requirement, Sandstorm wouldn't be able to do what it does.

More broadly, I think the challenge we have today is that we've settled into a local maximum way of doing things that we call "Cloud Architecture" and "Software as a Service". The industry has spent many billions of dollars exploring and optimizing this approach. Even open source developers are designing their little apps using hyper-scalable techniques because they think that's what they're "supposed" to do -- never mind that such architecture is actively hostile towards small-scale self-hosting.

I think the Sandstorm approach -- which is essentially "distribute apps to people's personal servers the same way you distribute apps to phones today" -- would be vastly preferable (both to users and developers), if it had the same level of development and investment.

We can't just invest $100B upfront to build the new world, so instead we need to find an incremental strategy to get there. That's the hard part. Sandstorm tried to harness the investment already being made by "indie" / open source developers. We got a long way with not very much money! But the indie motif didn't exactly give us enterprise credibility, or any other way to sustain the company.

My new hope is that "mainstream" cloud infrastructure will push towards being incrementally more and more decentralized on a technical level, because of the technical advantages that brings... If your software is designed to run as a million little servers rather than one huge one, then a company like Cloudflare (my current employer) can go deploy it to literally hundreds of locations around the world for huge savings in latency and long-haul bandwidth, better reliability, etc. Then once apps are designed that way, maybe, just maybe, it'll be easier to flip control of code execution and data away from the vendor towards the consumer? But obviously there's a long way to go to get there.

It's so sad that every company seems to be willing to do shady stuff like this just to grab a couple of extra cents from selling their users out.

Technology companies should be leading the way for privacy.

You'd think it'd be very bad for business for a company like HP to demonstrate that they don't care about their user's privacy.

But they all seem to do dodgy stuff like this, selling people's privacy for cents.

I downloaded it, connected a bunch of apps I use (Twitter, Google Drive, Gmail, Messenger, Slack) and played around. Sincere question: what's the benefit of using my apps this way?

It seems like it just puts each webpage in a different tab and lets me put the tabs side by side. How is this paradigmatically different from my browser, aside from removing a bunch of browser features? Is it organization? Why do my apps need to be organized? Why is this better than workspaces? Is it because workspaces are too janky? (I hate the sliding animation on macOS.)

Initially I thought Stack was a productivity tool, with keyboard shortcuts, quick search/jump, etc. The only thing I've found is ⌘+1/2/3/4, and 1Password integration doesn't work anymore. And what do I do if I need to use ⌘+1/2/3/4 to navigate an inner app connected to Stack?

Put another way, what is the vision here that I'm failing to understand?

Ink seems to be virtually free at Monoprice. Like, "It costs more to ship this than the ink, so I guess I'll just buy 10 of each color, but now I have a drawer full of ink cartridges and need to find more things to print."
I saw that too and figured it was due to Cloudfront.
My reaction after reading this is that if it's too much burden for the original author to keep up with updates, it's very hard to make a case for people to self-host their own services using Sandstorm. Upgrade effort will now get multiplied many-fold as everybody has to duplicate the effort that one maintainer was putting in.

Sandstorm is an amazing project, and the people who built it are way better programmers than me. But I'm betting that we need to go even deeper and think about why the maintenance burden for software is so high.

This is a very long-term project, and it's still early days. But none of the short-cuts seem to pan out. It makes me sad, and it stiffens my resolve.

I'm not speaking to whether or not you consider optionals useful. Rather, I'm saying that calling a method that can return null without dealing with that case in the code is one of the most common reasons for a NPE. The calling code _is_ the actual error, and forcing the use of optionals removes the possibility of them.
All the agilent test equipment I've worked with is still solid AF. It's sad HP consumer stuff, particularly ink jet printers, is cheap junk. Enterprise stuff is fine though

@awscloud, and you price it at a simple fixed fee of only $X per month, you can expect to be walked out that day.

As a micro-customer, I like the "Only pay for what you use" model.

But AWS charges fixed fees for Route53. You have to pay 50 cents/month/domain when hosting static sites. My volume is small enough that I pay 4x$0.50/month for Route53 DNS, and like 29 cents total for the actual storage/transfer.

The profit margin on that 50cents/month must be 99%.

Discernment of mortality risk associated with childbirth in archaeologically derived forager skeletons±:

"This research explores the idea that if excess mortality is associated with first pregnancy, females will outnumber males among young adult skeletons. The sample is of 246 skeletons (119 males, 127 females) representing Later Stone Age (LSA) foragers of the South African Cape. Young adults are distinguished through incomplete maturation of the medial clavicle, iliac crest and vertebral bodies. With 26 women and 14 men in the young category, a higher mortality risk for women is suggested, particularly in the Southern Cape region. Body size does not distinguish mortality groups; there is evidence of a dietary protein difference between young and older women from the Southern Cape. Possible increased mortality associated with first parturition may have been linked to morphological or energetic challenges, or a combination of both."

I have a less negative reaction than most commenters seem to. I am not phased by the snarky know-it-all attitude of the author, and it actually makes his point more concise and clear IMO.

Do you do any verification on how test focused they are? IME automated testing is like agile, the companies that talk the most are awful at the execution.

I'd completely believe that the automated testing companies were slower and more expensive, but I'd be inclined to blame the quality of the tests themselves. I've seen so many code bases where the tests slow down development and rarely catch errors, where you'll often have to spend more time decoding what the tests were supposed to be testing than the actual development. Even otherwise good developers can see testing as a necessary compliance item and will write awful tests just to get coverage up.

In your dataset are there any standout companies with low incident reports which do/don't have automated tests?

It was a Conservative government responsible for this debacle. The previous Liberal government which had started legalization would have sold cannabis at LCBO stores which are in every neighbourhood and are run quite efficiently. Under the Conservative retail rollout, you can only buy cannabis via the online store (i.e., a 2-3 day wait for shipping) or a handful of physical stores. Toronto has a ridiculously low number of stores. There are roughly half a dozen stores with a capacity of about 40 people each to serve a greater Toronto population of more than ~6.5 million people. These physical stores which are the only legal way to obtain cannabis the same day, often have 20-30 minute wait line-ups outside.

To give you an idea of what we're dealing with in this government, it is headed by a complete shit show of a politician. He's the older brother of the late crack smoking mayor and is a cheap dollar store equivalent of a populist. He basically got voted in because the Liberal government was long in the tooth having governed for 15 years. People wanted change for the sake of change and if that meant throwing out a well researched cannabis legalization plan, then so be it. Of course, the asme people that voted for the premier are some of the loudest to complain how shitty the current legal cannabis situation is.
What I do with untrusted wifi devices like my AV receiver and girlfriend's printer is put them on a separate network that has all Internet access disabled by default.

So if I lose my configs, these devices will simply stop working. There is no way for them to accidentally connect to my real network (since they've never known the passphrase to those).

Wifi is actually kind of better than Ethernet for this use case, since even if you set up certain switch ports to be part of a different virtual interface, if you reset to the default config they'll have full Internet access again.
