Yeah.

And this other time I saw a hardware company be “in the spirit of open source” and then saw another company use their code in cheaper hardware sold for less and then the first company went on a rage tirade and tried to edit their commit history to change the license, tarnishing themselves in their whole community and customer’s eyes at the time.

FOSS rage quits are hilarious.

Sadly extracted firmware was never published :(

There is another project, with reverse engineered firmware rewritten to ATmega328P (of arduino fame): "BLASTERBOARD : A new SB 2.0-compatible ISA sound card" https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=61098

Offers vastly improved sound quality "idle noise level is around -94dB RMS". Firmware is available for download, but in binary only form.
Some vegans. If you care about the environment at all you’re not going to be demanding every restaurant buy additional grills, expand footprint, or alternatively not serve vegans at all. Demanding separate grills doesn’t have any impact on animal suffering either. The only vegans I could see caring about that are the purity test vegans or the vegans who are convinced meat is physically dangerous to human health, and those people shouldn’t eat in McDonald’s regardless.

> Many people have an aversion to something if it's called plant, healthy or natural.

I don't think this is the issue.

Nobody would eat something called "McMeat", it begs the question "What kind of meat?" and usually the assumption is the worst. When I hear "McPlant", what comes up in my head is eating a tree or grass. If you leave it to people's imagination, often what comes to mind is the worst not the best.

This is the genius of "Impossible Burger". They manage to suggest it's great and sidestep the inevitable question of what is in it. They are literally suggesting the opposite, that they found the holy grail of food, great tasting and healthy.

Though I have the same feelings when I read "McRib" as well and it's making another comeback so maybe I'm off base here.
That's not true, population size absolutely 'enters into the math'. 9 vs. 85 does not give the same result independently of whether N=94, 200, 2k, or 2B.

$1/month buys you 15 pages of printing. That’s a joke.
A more realistic plan is the $3/mo for 50 pages (still not much for an average printer owner, but not the joke 15 pages is). At that price your math is adding up in less than 2 years.

My highly used $30 Canon printer is in its 4th year, and 3rd cartridge. I’m well ahead of where I would have been with the HP (I print about 3-4 pages a day, so I’d probably have had to shell out for the $5 or $12 plan).

Also, much like most subscription services, even if the math works out, it only does until the next change in the pricing plan.

What's interesting is that McDonald's has tried something like this this before and, it has been argued, effed it up due to naming.

For an interesting account of their first failed attempt, 30 years ago, I highly recommend this New Yorker article, The Trouble with Fries (2001):

https://web.archive.org/web/20081218211703/http://www.gladwe...

It's Malcolm Gladwell so take it with a packet of salt I suppose. I think it's Gladwell at his best and I often find myself referring back to it whenever the topics of fast food or marketing come up.

On the naming:

The McLean was a flop, and four years later it was off the market. What happened? Part of the problem appears to have been that McDonald's rushed the burger to market before many of the production kinks had been worked out. More important, though, was the psychological handicap the burger faced. People liked AU Lean in blind taste tests because they didn't know it was AU Lean; they were fooled into thinking it was regular ground beef. But nobody was fooled when it came to the McLean Deluxe. It was sold as the healthy choice--and who goes to McDonald's for health food?

Times have changed, but I think there's still a lot to be said for this suggestion at end of article:

But transparency can backfire, because sometimes nothing is more deadly for our taste buds than the knowledge that what we are eating is good for us. McDonald's should never have called its new offering the McLean Deluxe, in other words. They should have called it the Burger Supreme or the Monster Burger, and then buried the news about reduced calories and fat in the tiniest type on the remotest corner of their Web site.
> it's going to 6 years (thanks Ansil) for the price to work out in favor of the Brother.

6 years is not a very long time. I've had my Brother laser printer for a decade now, am as happy as the day I bought it, and can easily imagine using it for another decade or more.

We need to rid ourselves of the mindset that electronic devices are inherently short-lived.
They didn't have to catch all cases. They reduced the fatality rate per capita by 90% compared to western countries. South Korea has less than 5% the cases per capita of the US.
Are we saying ink-jet printers are a problem free market economics can't solve, or actually makes worse? What class of problem does this represent? Are there other classes? I'm not an economist and only took very basic economics courses in college. We hear so much about the problems solved by free market economics but we don't hear so much about the problems not solved or even are exacerbated by free market economics. Just curious as to what these classes of problems might be.

Now vs long term. If they NEEDED something now - just use beyond. I don't think the are getting hammered now, but I think they see this as a trend that will stick so they want to be able to support the volumes needed for a real rollout and get all those profits in house. I guarantee they will be the biggest fake meat producer in a few years. Just imagine the impact of a fake meat McRib!
I similarly refuse to use Starbucks' cute-isms for cup sizes (Venti, etc.) but I won't have any trouble ordering a McPlant - it might even provide me another reason to visit a McD beyond the wireless-for-the-price-of-a-coffee reason.

How do I know this is not simply more FUD designed to protect the interests that are staring into an abyss as Tesla continues to disrupt their business? Here I am thinking about "value" investors that maintain their wealth by extracting rents from the poor, with REITs, those that own "safe" stocks like legacy auto. Their suppliers as well, the labor union leadership, dealer networks, etc., all stand to lose a great deal of wealth and economic power in the coming decade.

Meanwhile, those giant methane sinks in the arctic are bursting. The big picture is that I simply don't think we can afford to keep listening to FUD like this. Keep your shares.
Depends on how you define "part". Maybe the visible part like MySQL or the Linux kernel or Android. But I'd say open source has a long tail mostly unpaid. From where I'm staying there is also a myth that companies pay for all the open source I use.

> For programming (C#, probably Java too, the Windows API) it’s UTF-16.

For programming it's UTF8, except for Windows-centric developers (and Microsoft technologies).

Java uses WTF16 internally but rarely assumes an external charset, and when it does, older API tend to use the default charset (which is generally ascii-compatible at best: on western windows it's commonly windows-1252, though it's been UTF-8 for years on most unices). Newer APIs like Files.newBufferedReader(Path) straight go with UTF-8.
That reminds me, I was once going into a clinic, and a guy coming out was looking at a paper in his hand, then at me, and said "Positive is good, right? It says here HIV positive. That's good, right?"

The people who want the turingness to be complete are the ones who want the HIV to be positive. And I've never met any of those making budgetary decisions, though I'm sure some exist.

(For the record, it was someone I knew, and he was a joker. He was not HIV positive, this was just a joke).

Some randos on the Internet aren’t going to know why he ultimately gets #MeToo’d.

However it should be obvious that every potential acquirer of Android was aware of enabling Andy Rubin to enter “ownership” relationships with his subordinates, at a time it was obvious to every huge tech CEO they had to develop an iPhone competitor.

It remains to be explained why Google alone decided to enable him, and what role Eric Schmidt played in that. Like quite concretely, when he looks at the private investigator’s report about Andy Rubin, and everyone else’s people doing the same thing at all the other companies saying “don’t do this deal,” despite the money on the line, why did he say yes?

I would add that of course all the major tech companies were aware of the iPhone before it was released, in addition to being aware of Andy Rubin’s ownership relationships of subordinates, and also Eric Schmidt sat on Apple’s board and was aware, and it was of course instrumental to Android’s acquisition.
You have to love the morons who downvoted you when it's painfully obvious that eating meat is the cause of so much health and environmental issues on the planet. For most people here, it's not even that big a deal to switch to a plant-based diet or mostly plant-based diet. Better to adapt now rather when the double or triple digit taxes start coming for our meat-eating asses.

That's not how any of this works. Most people work for companies that do not just donate to random software developers. If you want companies to send you money, you need to have something on an invoice. You don't actually have to make the commercial edition different than your community edition, especially if you're charging a low amount, finance isn't going to grill you about why you aren't using the free version. But you need to align how you expect to get paid with how companies are set up to pay people. Charge for stuff!

12000 pages at HP’s $1 plan will cost you $800 to print assuming you actually print 15 pages a month and don’t go months where you printed less.

I purchased my Brother MFC-8890DW (multi-function laser printer) sometime around 2011. I'll admit I don't print much but it is only recently that I finally got a "low toner" message. I bought a toner cartridge but haven't installed it yet as waiting until I see the effects of the low toner.

For my situation I would never buy an inket type printer. When I need to print photos I send them to Costco, which is maybe every couple years.

Logged into the printer and see that I have only printed 3370 pages in all that time. I probably use the scanner feature more than the printer :)

That's why I say it's confounded.

If you say "I won't treat fat people (the same) because they are less likely to survive",

and then afterward say "Fat people were less likely to survive (so this earlier decision was justified)", then that's severely faulty and dangerous logic.

The reason fat people had worse outcomes is, just as likely, because they had worse treatment.
I'm having trouble reconciling your first and second paragraphs. The first paragraph states that program analysis is PSPACE complete in the size of the program while the second appears to be saying that it is EXPTIME. But it is not known that PSPACE = EXPTIME.

What if it has the contagiousness of covid but the long term lethality of hiv? The long term lethality would have low evolutionary pressure to be less harsh to its host as the implications only follow after many infectious years.

Is there anything fundamentally prohibiting the emergence of such a virus, or are we just lucky?

I bet something like that would be possible, but the ciphertext would be much larger than the plaintext. Still a fun idea.

With a few exceptions, having a “professional” job is just a proxy for future money. As an engineer, the primary benefit that I could bring any country is the economic value of my labor. The fact that I could get a visa approved much faster than a service worker is purely down to economic reasoning.

The one exception to this rule would be medical personnel. Every country needs doctors and nurses to keep the population healthy. Their labor has direct human value that’s not entirely reflected economically.

As a Vegan, that can be a concern.

The best way for companies to alleviate that concern is to make your Vegan products clearly different from the meat ones.

McDonalds offers "Veggie Dippers" in the UK, and as they have a vegetable texture, they are easy to tell apart from other products:

https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/product/veggie-dippers-4-...

I think that this particular product is aimed at Vegans/Vegetarians, while products like the Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger are aimed at "flexitarians".

So, when making a "meaty" product, the simplest thing to do is make it a different shape than your other products.
