> "Unplug printer’s power cord from the back of the printer

Press and HOLD the power button

Plug power cord back in (keep holding power button)

The HP logo will appear then the screen will go blank

Hold power button for 10 seconds and then release it

Press HOME BUTTON ONCE (top left)

Press RETURN/BACK ARROW ONCE (bottom left)

Press HOME BUTTON TWICE

That should bring up the control screen

NOTE: On my printer I couldn’t see the home or back buttons lit up but if you press to the left of the display area the buttons still work.

Press MFG (Top Left)

Press NEXT (Top Right)

The screen idled with some weird looking grid design and status bar so I pressed the Power button and it went to the main printer screen on the display."

They took money from many clients to provide a service.

They did not provide the service the advertised: they provided something much inferior (and that's actually unsuitable for many industries).

It's not really really about "what would clients have done otherwise". It's a matter of giving money back.

If you pay me to write a program, and it only does half of what I promise, wouldn't you want [part of] your money back?

Market cap is the paper value of the company. It has little to do with the market. Zoom’s planned pivot is into boring markets like business VoIP.

Zoom went bananas because they won the space at a point in time that mattered. FaceTime is too proprietary and lacks features due to E2E, WebEx is run by incompetents, Google Meet is hard to use, and Teams is too complex. There’s a thousand other competitors with a few users.

Speculators poured billions into the consort and the valuation went nuts. That could go away in a week.

It is, but markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay liquid to paraphrase somewhat famous quip. I was also one of those people who tried shorting TSLA since I believe they are way overvalued. I agree with you, but the market has spoken.
I wouldn't sorry too much. We understand a lot of old worries and so we know they don't apply. They have a lot of data from previous forms of this type of things suggesting it is safe. We know the that injected "things" break down very quickly in the body, which again makes us believe there won't be any long term problems. Of course in the end who knows. There could be something, and we may not know for 10 years.

On the other hand, we know that Covid is killing a large number of people right now. We have enough data to confidently state that the long term adverse effects are overall less bad than Covid.
Why would you buy an HP printer and try 3rd party ink, when you know the whole business model is subsidizing the printer and selling you expensive ink, and you also know that the whole printer cartrige space is full of DRM roadblock?

Do this: look at what a printer + as many 1st party refills as you'll need for several years will cost you. Compare that number across multiple manufacturers. If the number seems high - yes, you discovered why inkjets are impopular. If the number seems OK: buy that one and use 1st party ink. Alternatively: buy a printer from a manufacturer that says they accept, and always will accept, 3rd party ink. Expect to pay more for that printer, or not find one.
The amount of FUD that goes on HN related to hardware never ceases to amaze me.

For both user rights and robustness of implementation, it would seem that banks partnering with telcos to block certain IMEIs country-wide would be more effective. There's still the problem of debtors selling phones out-of-country or unsoldering/reprogramming IMEIs on phones, but changing the IMEI at least sounds more difficult than bypassing a phone lock, unless the lock involves nonvolatile on-SoC storage.

I've gone for an OKI office machine (MC532) for around 220€. Its a color laser printer and also exists with a scanner version. I have some issues with Linux printing via USB but via network all works great. When i, a humble mortal consumer, had issues with the driver I shot them an email and within 2 days had a call with tier 2 support which tpol > 1h with me on the phone to try different scenarios. Really impressed by that service quality.

My lesson: avoid consumer companies.
If I am not mistaken command sends to stdout which can be anything, so print doesn't fit there at all, while pathname still does. Print is used in a sence of some output, like all commands do. Functionality though is difined by WHAT it actually sends to the output, just as with other commands.
Seems to me that they have all the PR they need: it was enough to convince Pfizer to partner with them on something unknown and invest a ton of money into taking their idea from a lab to mass production in just a few months. If they had tried this along it would have been years before this vaccine was ready (if it ever got ready - odds are someone else would have something working first, or they go bankrupt getting the paperwork together)
A casual search shows that plenty of tax advice and preparation organizations think Cyprus is a tax haven. And The Cyprus Papers show that the local authorities likely intentionally failed to enforce rules regarding PEPs. A culture of intentionally weak enforcement makes Cyprus an even more advantageous haven.
Lookup what "hidden champion" actually means, such companies are highly competitive and successful in the global market with extremely specialized high-tech products in a small niche. Because they have specialized in high-quality niche-products they can focus their marketing money where it matters: their potential customers. And those customers are other companies, not people like you or me. Those companies are also often family-owned and not publicly traded. What's the point of maintaining a big PR circus for this type of company?

Intelligent trial and error.

1. Transformers are an extension of the attention mechanism, a well known LSTM extension that worked well for machine translation (2014, https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.0473). A transformer model is essentially building a multi headed attention module, analogue to CNNs, then stacking several layers of them, analogue to CNNs / stacked LSTMs. (1998, http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/publis/pdf/lecun-01a.pdf)

2. Transfomers use residual blocks, which were introduced by the ResNet CNN arhitecture (2015, https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.03385). At the time, ResNet was topping the ImageNet benchmarks. This technique helps preventing the vanishing gradient problem during training.

3. Transformers use normalization extensively. Layer normalization and attention normalization. This helps keeping internal vectors in the neighborhood of 1 and prevents vanishing gradient training collapse.

4. Correct initialization of the network vectors also helps preventing the vanishing gradients problem.

5. Unsupervised pretraining was one of the first tricks to make deep networks work (2009, https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume11/erhan10a/erhan10a.pdf)

6. Pretraining was used extensively in the vision community for transfer learning, i.e. reusing the weights of a network trained on ImageNet and replace the top layers / loss function to tackle a different problem.

7. Finally, language modelling, that is predicting the next word in a sentence, was a well known technique to make machine translation work better. Researchers were looking for better language modelling techniques using large corpora (2013, https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.3005, https://www.kaggle.com/c/billion-word-imputation)

The UK have been cautious to point out that they don't have the full safety data yet, and that that is the next step:

> The Pfizer/BioNTech Vaccine has been tested on over 40,000 volunteers and interim results suggest it is proving 90 per cent effective at protecting people against the virus.

> But we haven’t yet seen the full safety data, and these findings also need to be peer-reviewed.

> So we have cleared one significant hurdle but there are several more to go before we know the vaccine can be used.

> [...] If the Pfizer vaccine passes all the rigorous safety checks and is proved to be effective then we will begin a UK-wide NHS led programme of vaccine distribution.

First, also possible in GC enabled languages. That is what profilers are for.

He said stuff like that left and right. He was very much in favor of sticking to one's ideological guns even when personally inconvenient. He was arguing in favor of the federal government retaining the authority to tax in the instance everyone quotes.
They would get the ability to open a lot of doors all over the world for financing, distribution, R&D opportunities - a major increase in power.

Every serious investor is a human being - when the become more aware of an issue or person, it becomes more material to them.

The Saudi sovereign wealth assets probably are somewhere near a Trillion dollars, that's a ton of money they need to invest, same for Norway. When they see this on TV, and BioNTech wants to do a $3 Billion raise next year for expansion, then the CEO, already known to the bankers, will be a powerful figure to have on the roadshow. Brand matters far beyond just consumer appeal and marketing.
There is definitely more to the story than either you are telling or that you know. I am certain of that.

Also, this:

> And none of them was able to get any reasonable saving rate - saving accounts pay less than local government bonds in just about every place, but the most anyone was able to get was a savings account with low interest (and in some cases, not even that).

Has nothing to do with whether you can open a bank account, and is an entirely different topic. In the Netherlands for example (and most European places), all regular bank account offerings are the same for all residents, regardless of their actual citizenship.
I think the worst is when companies force you to leave SMS on as a fallback.

On stripe, I use a security key. Someone has to either steal my keyring, or steal my backup key.

But I'm force to leave SMS on as a fallback, so really, the weakest link is there, and a potential cracker only needs to break this extremely fragile insecure system, and completely bypass the security key.
> It probably (if not certainly) is .. but with authorities systematically failing their duties on that subject, and for a long time too, don't expect much (if anything) to come from that.

It's likely not an anti-trust issue. No single manufacturer has anything close to a monopoly and there's no legal duty to make it the printers compatible with third party modules. At best, some consumer might argue a case that there was an expectation of third party compatibility when they purchased their printers. Even that would be difficult to prove though.

Vote with your wallet and buy something that will work with third party ink. Go a step further and avoid all HP products. That's the only way this will be solved.

OpenGL/Vulkan are open source, multi-platform abstraction layers. Of course, the graphics API isn't the only thing you have to get to work on multiple platforms. There's also the sound stack, networking, window management, and so forth.

I think what you're getting at is some kind of all-in-one platform that abstracts away all of those lower level interfaces. In that case, that's basically what Unity is. Unity (and other cross-platform engines) do abstract away the metal in an open source, cross-platform set of APIs/tooling.

If you're more interested in application development, as opposed to videogame development, there's toolkits like QT and VM-based environments like Java and Electron. The efficaciousness of these approaches do vary, however. Java UIs are famously ugly, due to how poorly they integrate with the host OS, Electron UIs are famously slow, due to literally being standalone web browser instances, and QT UIs are famously finicky, due to trying to abstract a lot less than the other approaches.

Ouch.
I don't want to give them any tips but they could allow 3rd party ink but then intentionally make the printer spew the ink around in smudges and with color streaks etc when it think the ink is 3rd party. This would ruin the reputation of 3rd party ink and make people "learn" that they have to buy branded ink to get acceptable prints.
> Why would you buy an HP printer and try 3rd party ink, when you know the whole business model is subsidizing the printer and selling you expensive ink, and you also know that the whole printer cartrige space is full of DRM roadblock?

The vast majority of people don't know this because HP spends tons of money on marketing to distract consumers from the fact that they do this.

Stuff like this is why consumer protection laws are so important: not everybody has the time, energy or mental capability to absorb the nuances of the business models behind the consumer products they buy. And billions are spent marketing to obscure these practices. Buying a consumer-grade printer shouldn't be such an effing minefield , but it is because they market heavily and lobby against consumer protections.
Yep. They're fining the customer fraud, not the lack of E2EE.

I wish executives would start going to jail over this stuff. Bet they'd stop lying to their customers then.

> As part of the structure of the deal, Xenon guaranteed I’d take home $3.7m, regardless of what came up during due diligence

Interesting, I wonder how this is structured - surely there are items that can come up during due diligence that are deal-breakers for Xenon, and surely due-diligence is performed before the contract is closed?

> But they were incredibly gracious and both agreed to write off their investment. General Catalyst’s (who had the lion’s share of that $800k) response showed just how classy they are: “We recognize the work that’s gone into the past 7 years and it sounds like this is a great landing spot for the team. We’re grateful for the opportunity to have supported you along the way.”

I have no idea how they managed to get the investors to walk with nothing, when the founders walked away with so much.
I think many more American people would avoid and mistrust a Chinese vaccine than one they perceive as being "American"
Well said.

"the point is the gov want to peep and they can give them selves that right."

The fourth amendment says otherwise. But yes, who will enforce the enforcers?

"Laws aren't based on reality or whats feasible they are fantasies(beliefs) society would like to be real and so tries / pretends to enforce."

They really should be based on reasonable beliefs and enforcement schemes. It's too bad it ends up this way though.
For products which give a static output (e.g. canva) I would actually prefer an Indiemaker product.

You are right about the community too, it's one of the best people around who go to amazing lengths to help each other. This is one of the reasons why I would certainly prefer it.
Yeah Americans in particular are famous around the world for choosing to live in places they have not tried to legally reside in, and so much of these anecdotes are likely coming from stories like that.

Even in the U.S. it can be very hard if not impossible to open a bank account with an American bank if you are not legally living there, so the shoe fits on both feet.
> with none of the downsides of ink or cartridges

But with a whole new set of fresh and exciting downsides like expensive paper and fading in sunlight.
The problem is 'feeling entitled to just compensation'; it is not a good concept. Lets imagine you favourite fast-food joint offers all menu items for 1cent. Then one week later they ask for more money, because:'If a work adds value to the world, shouldn't the worker rightly feel entitled to just compensation". And lets not make it about the company, lets say it has to close down and leave the workers unemployed if people dont chip in. Do you really think they should be entitled? What about if they gave away the stuff for 0 cents, any difference?

I bought an original HP cartridge for my Laserjet printer because I read that 3rd party cartridges may have issues with displaying the amount of ink left. Everything was all fine until the other day I did some cleaning on my desk and put my printer on the floor for 15 minutes. Since I put it back on my desk, it has been complaining that the cartridge is close to being empty, whereas it should be at about 70%. I removed the cartridge and put it back but nothing changed. In light of the post, it may be interesting if anyone else had a similar issue with either the original or the 3rd party cartridge.

According to you, it's wrong "in a real sense" to make a fuss at a restaurant. According to others it's wrong to eat meat. Who are we to say which is worse? Which ultimately causes more harm and suffering in the world? It's great that you're not a fussy eater. Now try to show some respect for people who make different choices than you. And speaking of righteous indignation, you are showing a good deal of it in the face of some imagined restaurant incident; everyone else has simply pointed out that you can't sell non-vegetarian food as vegetarian.
