1. That's still hidden. "read the code" has never been an acceptable answer to how to inform users, and wouldn't even get close to being allowed under the current GDPR or ePrivacy directives.

2. If you want me to pay then you have to tell me how much I have to pay. It's why there are laws on the clear display of prices in restaurants, and that bars in the UK have to have the prices of drinks listed.

If you want me to pay the price to enter your wensite then tell me what that is and let me make he choice.

Accepting International Credit Card Payments
I will be searching HN for this, but some of you wil have direct personal experience.

I have a limited company in the UK, and at short notice I'm going to need to be able to accept a few hundred payments of around £30 to £100.

Within the UK this can be done trivially using the BACS system. International transfers of money are an on-going source of medium to high-level pain.

So I'm looking at setting up to accept CC payments.

Who would you recommend, how long does it take to set up, and what are the associated costs?

Many thanks for any replies, I'm sure lots of people here would find the information interesting, and possibly useful.

Haven't tried Remarkable. Did get the SO a wacom tablet last holiday season, seems to like it, I couldn't stand the thing. It feels kinda like using a pencil -- an unpleasantly thick one. I wonder if there could be an issue whereby the sort of folks who are OK with something feeling vaguely like writing on paper are already well served, but the really picky/peculiar people (I tend to stick to a particular brand of pencil and .3mm soft lead) are just living in this fat tail where the digital replacement will never be quite right.

I'd rather just write on the paper. I wish there was an easy way to digitize it, though.

99% of this list is verified and trusted. These are not self published revenues on the blogs. This data is coming verified via stripe, paddle, baremetrics etc.

I agree with everyone here. Get a brother laser printer. I have bought 3 of them between myself and my family and have never looked back.
In general, the benefit of encryption is 1/ defense in depth by requiring an additional secret and 2/ the reduced size of that secret you have to protect. E.g. you can protect a 2GB top secret data trove with a 128-bit AES key. The same applies here, and it can be cheaper/easier/more-effective to lock an encryption key away in an enclave than the whole thing.
I used a picture of Mark Zuckerberg. Sadly it didn't work.
I haven't worked in the area for more than a decade, and I was very young when I did. From my experience though, too many parties wanted their own way and weren't really in a compromising mood.

Even back then it was clear to me that starting small, evaluating and expanding was the way to go. Get a group of actual medical/tech experts to define a standard, build tools and test them in a single hospital and a few GP surgeries, enhance, repeat, expand.

Trying to get it defined, designed and implemented in one go was madness.
I love it! Instead of just complaining, you're also offering a solution.

I'm sorry, but a company that changes the price of the contract is the complete - ideologically and practically - opposite of "knowing [your] costs up front".

I suggest checking the type of ink first. Inks for my printer (type 664) are definitely water based and don't dissolve well in alcohol. A cloth dipped in alcohol hardly touches any dried-on ink, but distilled water will dissolve it nicely.
> supports the DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS protocols, and can emit JSON

This shows how much our old-school Unix tools need an update.

What if all the CLI tools had an option for JSON output and the shell natively supported a query language like `jq`. Then you could pipe commands together:

host -t A example.org --json-out | ping -c1 --json-in .arecords[0] --json-out | echo --json-in .[0].time > outputfile

This assumes the default output would still be the legacy text format. But if the default output changed to JSON then you could get rid of the ugly json-in/out syntax.

Illinois [0] is not alone but its far simpler to find good figures on how bad the state and various counties and cities are failing their employees and residents.

There was hope of a Federal bailout of all pension funds, numerous covid19 bills tried to bury them into the dollars, but fortunately that may be off the table as the Congressional elections did not pan out as needed. Yyes, the expectation was the Feds would not use the Pension Benefit Guarantee System to salvage something but actually fund them with tax dollars. The PBGS should be the default solution but is not a friendly solution as benefits are generally brought back from silly levels.

The issue with many public pension systems is that too many payouts are excessive. No pension system, notably no public, show being paying out six figure retirements in addition to health benefits. California had to use a law to cap theirs around 125k but that has faced numerous challenges and may see more in the future.

They do deserve their retirement pay but it needs to be reasonable and equal across the board to best serve the public and employee interest. The lower paid employees are not well served and the managerial and certain others are over compensated in retirement.

There seems to be a general shortage of inexpensive laser printers. That would not be a surprising consequence of work-from-home, I suppose.

The inexpensive Brother model that we have at home is permanently out of stock everywhere. I've been looking for one so my daughter (college music student) can print sheet music from her apartment.

All I use my printer for is shipping labels for my home business.

Okay, that and Sudoku. ;-)
>how do we allow OSS maintainers to contribute without forcing them to find ways to monetize their project

The most common way--which is pretty widespread--is to work for a company that is monetizing the project or otherwise depends on it as they're often interested in hiring someone with particular familiarity with the code base.

>which would be against the very nature of OSS

The very nature of OSS is not against monetizing.
http://archive.is/ByuZc
Do you have more information about the ingredient from Austria?
Totally agree on the goal, it would be great if companies established slush funds for their OSS support. That said, it’s not anyone’s responsibility to provide an OSS dev with fulfilling work but themselves. If they don’t want to ask for money, chances are they won’t get any. And it’s not really relevant what money is or is not a pittance for a company, they don’t generally decide their expenditures based on having spare cash, they buy what they need and try to keep what they need to a minimum. As an engineer, if I ask for a $20K budget for OSS support, chances are I will be flatly denied. The good news is many companies already do support the OSS they depend on in multiple ways. The largest tech companies are spending a great deal more than $20k on various kinds of OSS support, FAANG companies spend millions on it.

The terms of the economic exchange of any software is the author’s to set. It they want money for their work, in the majority of cases they will need to ask for it, it’s not going to be handed to them, especially when the software is given away for free in the first place. By giving the software away, the author is setting the terms of the economic exchange. Expecting the terms to change later without asking is just as bad as anyone expecting free support.

I think if we want to meaningfully support open source, we should figure out how to pay for the software in the first place to use it, not expect companies to throw a dollar in after the fact or only if they ask for changes. Making change requests does not align with the value of open source for most companies. The primary value is in it’s existence.
You need a way to scan the microcode as well, which you can't practically do physically (e.g. even with an x-ray scanner), at least when not some kind of circuit ROM.

So you need to scan the microcode; this demands care I think. Whatever you are reading could be reporting itself incorrectly, if you were to read it through software (that is itself influenced by the microcode). One solution would be to have a hardware module, a verified function that dumps the microcode and cannot be significantly influenced by the microcode itself.

Another issue could be program obfuscation, where you hide behavior inside your program. Since microcode is quite small, I guess the risk is also small.

As a curiosity, as far as I know Cryptographic theory at this point hasn't proved whether efficient white-box obfuscation is possible! (specially for the case of obfuscating cryptographic keys), but there are some proposed methods that generate very large obfuscated programs, and there are several manual techniques (by experienced programmers) that make it difficult to decode to figure out function (we don't know if this could be generalized and automated).
Check out the PC Engines APU2. They work very well with OpenBSD. I've been using them for ~8 years.

That would depend on how egregious the bias is and how much bias is permitted by the law. People who are wealthy and have connections are more likely to receive permits. There has even been bribery discovered.

I don't have access to Centurylink billing standards, but in my experience actual dollars billed by Comcast are routinely 30% higher than the sticker price of the service. I assume other services are similar. I don't think your numbers are too far off.

Also that Comcast number at the end is for sure an intro price. Actual cost after the first year will be much, much higher.
I think the reverse is true in current days.

Run of the mill doesn't work anymore I guess. Most products now needs some unique features or build something for a niche.
That only works if Thoughbot's open source tools are good enough. People seem very happy to pay for JetBrain's suite of tools. Postman's collaborative offering makes good money. Sublime is still doing well.

There are people still selling standalone pieces of software to developers and doing okay. It's hard to compete with huge companies with a build-over-buy culture but that's just their nature. It's way cheaper to just built it themselves and have control of the project than to pay the licensing fees.

> According to my physiotherapist, cycling (really any movement) is great but does not necessarily help with back problems and in some cases even make it worse (probably depends on bike, saddle, position etc.).

If you stay in one position on the bike, and bike for a long time (hour+), it's probably worse for your back. But if you switch positions, you can find some nice stretches sometimes. Depending on the terrain, you might have to specifically remember to stretch your back while you're on the bike.
This is great if you can pull it off. Do you have any school aged kids? I'd say 80% of our printer use is for school projects or forms that have to get printed out, signed, and physically handed back in. Not sure how we could get by without one.

With that being said, when we did buy a printer about 5 years ago we bought a monochrome Brother laser printer and it's a way better investment than inkjet printers (if you don't need to print pictures or something)

Simply having a good job is not enough, there is no "stream" for that. I was on a 2 year working holiday visa for that job, and when the visa ran out I was done.

.. eventually though I convinced Bell and the Province I was living in to run me through the "Provincial Nominee" stream, which required TONS of paperwork to prove that no Canadian was willing or able to do the job, and therefore they needed a foreigner like me.
That took 2 years of paperwork, interviews, medical tests and background checks and being saddled to that job before I finally got it.
> The issue is not rich vs. poor. My internet is cheap because our building has contractually guaranteed a single monthly payment on behalf of the many units in the building for some number of years. You can make an investment based on that.

Also because the economics of making your building a live, on-net premises are much more favorable for the ISP. Their capex to make your building live is based on a calculation for the expected number of units that will sign up in years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the revenue projections. In the telecom industry this is an "MDU" - multiple dwelling unit.

The cost per unit served in a 65 or 95 unit apartment/condo building is much more favorable as compared to building a new GPON FTTH network (even when 100% aerial on poles) to every house in a neighborhood of individual wood frame houses.

You mentioned Webpass above. Where Webpass got started, in the SF bay area, they did precisely what I described above because they could make the economics work by focusing exclusively on MDUs.

Apple doesn’t control ‘all economic activity reaching 50% of Americans’.

>It's the same with grass fed beef and all the other "organic" stuff - they are never actually connected to better health outcomes...

I'm not sure that would even be possible considering how much time and effort a study like that would require. But you might be able to hypothesize that eating a clean/chemically free (ex: Round Up/Glyphosate) food item would be better for you.

Comparing a factory farm pig that was fed GMO Soy it's entire life and raised in conditions that encourage disease/sickness to a pig raised in a clean/organic pasture with no exposure to synthetics/chemicals, I would imagine there is a noticeable difference in health.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that someone consuming this animal would benefit more than someone consuming the factory farmed pig?

I don't see the £24 as being ferociously expensive - as I'm really buying convenience. If you're looking at cost-per-page, I agree - If it were, then I'd be buying a laser-jet or a tanked ink-jet (and that would be many multiples of £24 extra).

Not just the cost I can now put out of mind, it's the annoying stuff (like "I bet HP just made 50 cents every time I clear the heads" or "FFS I just printed 20 cards with a sky on them, so I'm out of Cyan")

This 100%. My Brother laser printer is 7 years old, I've never replaced the toner, and it still prints quickly and perfectly every time; of course I only need to print a handful of times a year, but I know for a fact that letting any ink jet printer sit that long would result in terrible prints.
