Great advice, and I echo 95% of it. My observation is that I have found Wifi useful when I need the printer in an odd location in the house, and color is useful for non-professional usage like "the kids need to print out their report for school" and "the med school student needs anatomy diagrams in color"

My trusty color Brother laser HL-3170CDW cost ~$300 at the time and has been trucking along for 7+ years now without a hiccup. If it dies, I'm replacing it with another Brother laser printer.

EDIT: added cost of printer. The article is right: if all you are ever going to do is print your taxes and financial documents once a year, a ~$100 monochrome laser printer is fine.
I think the key is to decouple the discovery mechanism from the profit motive.

Algorithmic advertising driven discovery can incentivize driving people towards radicalization, if that’s what keeps them clicking.

So a system not based on advertising or profit motive could maybe avoid some of those extremes.
I don't think he meant losing access to cloud storage. He meant losing the ability to open your files. It makes little difference whether you're storing the files yourself because you can't open them without Photoshop.
This isn't even really a GPS thing, it's UTC time that bounces around because it wants to stay synchronized to the day/night cycle. GPS time is continuous.
Lmao, the police aren't going to look for your cats anywhere. And if they do catch someone in the act, they will arrest them, it'd a felony.

This seems likely, but the one thing I can't understand is: if they aren't recycling the plastic, why do they pay for it?
>Their voice should be heard above all else, and we plan to appeal to ensure that happens.

"Their voice should be heard above all else, so we'll ignore reports that we silenced their voice and prevent them from having another opportunity to let out their voice." Just an absurd PR spin.
Katamari Damacy Reroll fails to install a dependency that is fairly common in Windows but not included by default, and gets fulfilled automatically within Proton. So the problem here is less Microsoft's fault and more the developer not doing their due diligence.

Getting caught lying about E2EE should spell the end of a company's ability to market it as a feature, at least to anyone who cares about more than simply checking a box marked "encrypted". Yes, I know that most procurement decisions are in fact a box-checking exercise, but any CISO worth their salt should be stepping in to veto Zoom.

The dirty little secret of E2EE in proprietary software is that it can be silently neutered by any software update, at any time, in a way that is very difficult to notice. Therefore, E2EE is close to worthless without a high degree of trust in the vendor. Zoom has proven that they're not at all trustworthy compared to other vendors that offer E2EE.

Moving a burning pack seems overkill and unnecessarily hazardous. Rather than moving the fire to containment, it'd be a lot safer and easier to move containment to the fire. All you'd need is a few fireproof walls stored on site which can be moved into place when needed.
Key points:

The Orders require all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, to wear face coverings when indoors in public settings, with limited exceptions, starting at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, August 3rd.

As of July 30, 2021, 84% of residents aged 12 and older have received their first dose, and 78% of residents aged 12 and older are fully vaccinated. The latest information about vaccines and appointments is available on the County’s vaccine website at sccfreevax.org.
The people are the problem, they can be tricked in to giving access to the wrong person. That's why I'm suggesting some kind of identify verification service is the only safe way.

It is not reasonable to have every service have it's own identity verification venue in every city so it would have to be centralized some how.
There's little moral victory to be had.

A small story about Amazon cheating doesn't really generate much buzz. Voting again, if nothing else, makes the story more public, there will be a lot of talk about why the vote is happening again and what happened the first time.
>You take a product like name-brand dish soap,

No, it does not work like that. They take no-name soap and water it down so a 32oz bottle is $1. The stuff is more stepped-on then frat house cocaine.

They also have smaller, more concentrated bottles. That is what I buy.

> As far as I can tell the |= operator in C++ is the same as in C, i.e. a bitwise OR operator.

This is true.

> It works for booleans due to their bit pattern, but it's not the same.

This makes less sense. A bool in c++ is just an integer value with few inputs. It is, as far as I can tell, the exact same.

> Java's |= is different for ints and boolean.

Java has bool and int as different types. There were versions of C++ compilers that just straight out had bool as a typedef of int.

Both Alberta and Texas are very conservative, have a lot of anti-vaxxers, produce oil, and are home to cowboys. That’s the extent of the analogy.
This doesn't even read as sexy-futuristic for the sake of sexy-futuristic. Every major city metro with a contactless farecard does a better job of making it seamless and futuristic.

From a security standpoint, biometrics are ugly. You've gotta put a large fudge factor in everything to accomodate natural inconsistencies. Nobody wants to see "come back and try to purchase after the blister heals". But that means there's a wide range to build mocks that fool the scanner. And, of course, once the biometric signature is leaked, you can't exactly change it on your next login.

In a way, the obsession with biometric payment feels dystopic. I wonder if the real dystopic angle is that biometrics undermine "consumer spoofing". Tying every transaction to a physical body, rather than a card number, probably exposes new profiling data at the sub-household level.
Thanks @xvilka, Mattermost CEO here. Categories are a new feature, in beta in a lot of deployments. It’ll take a little bit for the other clients to catch up. Definitely one of the most popular new features.

Well said. We are strong believers in open source and zero trust but reading the post with fresh eyes instead of writing it does make me realize there are some parts of that post in which we can dial back our enthusiasm (OP here). Thanks for the candid comment.
Funny, I bought a Brother HL-1240 for $15 off of Craigslist five years ago and it’s still going strong. Couldn’t be happier. So much so that I bought a USB-Ethernet adapter (https://www.iogear.com/product/GPSU21/) to avoid having to upgrade to a newer model with Ethernet/WiFi included.

In the last five years I have printed a few hundred pages, experienced <5 paper jams, and spent $0 on ink. (The guy I bought the printer from threw in a toner cartridge for free. But I’m still on the original cartridge.)

"The very first concern, after realizing that I was getting hacked, is that these folks might be able to gain access to my business's bank account,"

How can that be possible? Surely either the bank incorrectly trusts the hacker in which case it's the bank's error and they'll refund any stolen money, or the customer gave Facebook his secret bank credentials but that seems pretty weird and unlikely.

At least that's how it is in my country. Banks have simple obvious rules that you have to follow and then you're never on the hook for stolen money. Basically don't give your PIN number or password to anyone. You don't need to worry about all the complicated vulnerabilities that you do with websites which don't take responsibility for their security.
Then it would respond to and have the same structure as everything else. It's not diversity, it's making everything the same

A rich media landscape is about diversity of structure, not about having a bunch of news brands by the same powerful groups in society that are simply demographically targeted to different consumers.

Diverse structures producing well funded content. That's how you get a rich media
If the model starts having "racial bias" then the answer is to remove the "race" and "skin color" parameters and opensource it, not make propaganda against machine learning because it has biases. Of course it has biases, you know what else has biases? Humans, who will outright lie about their biases (such a feat machines have yet to do) to divert the attention for personal agendas.
Danzeisen Dairy is available in Phoenix at various grocery stores. I do wonder what the fuel consequences are for the additional weight. It would be ironic if the fuel consequences are more than the plastic they could be in.

It used to be you could get some level of technical support if you were an advertiser, but that is no longer the case. Perhaps if you are spending tens of millions on Facebook Ads per year, but otherwise the only support you get is a revolving door of advertising support specialists that try to convince you to use whatever advertising product is best for Facebook at the moment.

I have seen company Facebook pages automatically deleted by an algorithm with no warning and vague reasoning that there are other similar pages. There is almost zero support to help and what support is there is unable to do anything.

I need not tell this forum, but if you have a company, do not rely on Facebook as your business page. Take the time to setup a proper website and use Facebook for promotion if you must.

If you are a user of the Facebook platform I wouldn’t ever put my money into the platform in any way.
The idea that the chip shortage has caused price rises in many industries, which is being counted as part of "inflation", but is really just a temporary market hiccup and not a new normal.

I don't know enough about the economics to have an opinion on that debate one way or the other, but I think that's what they're referencing.
I'm just thrown for a loop. Why is the default to assume I'm familiar with the ||= operator in ES?

The fact that the ||= operator short circuits makes sense from an optimization point of view. I will maintain that there is no good use for the correctness (as opposed to optimization) of the code to depend on that feature.
The people voted and rejected it. You can’t keep voting until you somehow get your way. Come back in 5 years or something. Until then it just sounds like people trying to justify their livelihoods.
Thanks @edoceo! Mattermost CEO here, appreciated the feedback. Just curious, what foreign keys do you feel should be added?
I recently started using spreadsheets for my todo list and it's been great. I put date in column A, which is far superior to Calendars or todo apps for visualizing dates in the future, and recurring goals e.g. do x for 30 days. I can re-order, and hide columns or future rows and I have an ever continuous history of past events. I use the column headers to specify goals categories or other aspects of my life such as “Strength and flexibility”, “Write / Do”, “Read / Listen” or “Social”. I try my best to limit 1 item per category and this helps me prioritize and balance across a spectrum of goals. I’ve used almost every todo app or system and they always end up being a wasteland of things I’ll never get around to. For work I like to use a Kanban type board and email.
> Myers’ recommendation centers on the mailbox, according to one of the people familiar with it. During the NLRB hearing, an employee said Amazon security guards used keys to open the mailbox, testimony that former NLRB chair Wilma Liebman said could be reason enough to overturn the result.

From previous reporting about this testimony:

> Jackson, who was testifying via Zoom after just getting out of the hospital, said that he was leaving work one morning when he saw security guards approach the mailbox. He proceeded to watch them open a large box at the bottom of the mailbox labeled “1P.” While it was dark at the time, Jackson said his headlights illuminated the area, so he was able to clearly see what they were doing.

Anyone who's lived in an apartment building would know this was a box for incoming mail, but I wouldn't be surprised if single family housing was the norm around the warehouse.
> I'm reasonably impressed that the fire remained as contained as it has.

Indeed—though one must assume that this kind of catastrophic event was specifically predicted and planned for. So the fact that the fire didn't spread is really just evidence that they knew what they were doing.

Any new account can use Facebook for 24 hours before email verification becomes required. This is a huge issue for any email address not linked to a Facebook account. Facebook will happily leak the social graph of that address's shadow profile (e.g. in the "suggested friends" list), and let anyone impersonate it, for 24h.

It happened to me. Those 24h were no fun.
The snippet illustrates exactly the concepts described in the article you linked.

And you are talking about MVC but that's kinda what is going on here: a bunch of smart components are injecting data ("model") and methods ("controller") into a dumb component ("view"), which displays them and calls them when some events are triggered (e.g. mount, change, clicks, submit, etc).

Printers are just another example of how effective loss leaders are in selling products (or subscriptions if you want to call them that).

Classic example: fast food burgers are typically sold at or near cost. It's the fries and drinks where they make all their money.

It's also why accessory sales are so prevalent. I've heard of $800 cameras being sold for <$10 profit but a $1 UV filter is sold for $20..

And then there's the whole extended warranty "scam". By the way, staff in Best Buy and the like are typically judged on how many warranties they sell, not how many products. That's why such places push them so hard.

Anyway, one thing I want to say about printers is that in the "home" end of the market there are really two types of printers:

1. Cheap printers intended to get customers into a cycle of buying expensive ink. These printers are typically sold near or even below cost. They may even cost less than a full set of replacement ink but you should know the printer rarely comes with full cartridges. Honestly, I would completely avoid this kind of printer.

It's worth noting that these printers are designed to go through ink as fast as possible. This includes using the ink to clean the print heads every day so you'll run out of ink after some months even if you've never printed a page; and

2. So-called tank printers. These have a higher duty cycle and are more expensive. Instead of cartridges you typically fill them with bottles of ink (and much more of it than you'd typically find in a cartridge).

These don't have the same ink-selling focus the first category has.

If you print at all just buy a tank printer.

As for add-on services like Adobe's cloud... I mean does anyone really trust Adobe with this?

For the record, I'm a big fan of the _idea_ of software subscriptions. I know some people like to own their software outright but software requires constant maintenance. Security fixes, bug fixes, supporting new devices, that sort of thing.

A sticker price and that's it creates perverse incentives for the company to end-of-life your software so you have to buy an upgrade. It's better to just pay a hopefully reasonable ongoing fee.

The gold standard for software subscriptions is Jetbrains. You get 3 major releases a year, annual or monthly subscriptions and when you stop paying you get to keep old versions forever.

Compare that to Adobe's Photoshop and Lightroom... yeesh. Adobe's idea of reasonable pricing is monthly cost = sticker price / 12. Oh and you have to sign up for a year, get auto-renewed and it's difficult to cancel.
Sometimes, but it is intentional, and not reflexive.
Even worse:

> they voted overwhelmingly in favor of a direct connection with their managers

What exactly is this garbage? They’re implying you’ll somehow be alienated from your manager. I’ve worked in both Union and non-Union jobs and a union has literally nothing to do with your relationship with your manager beyond a shitty one can’t completely ruin your career in a union shop.

If you have a good manager your relationship will be great regardless of a Union. It’ll just be more obvious in certain situations they represent the company first.

One of the groups behind this in LA was released during the pandemic and continued their work... They know they won't be put back.

The group caught in San Diego (caught with a house full of catalytic converters) were only charged for having a slide they'd stolen from a local park. Slap on the wrist.

A lot of non violent crime is not being pursued at this time, besides these thefts. It's a broader trend.

Taxes go up, services go down. Why? Just never enough money to govern somehow in California...

Clearly, it's an impoverished state.

I highly doubt you could use something more injurious legally at least. Maybe pepper spray or something, but defense must be proportional (including booby traps) - you cannot for example setup a shotgun to shoot their legs (see Katko v. Britney).
Sadly, the moral is that you can build a company without user support. You just need to grow fast past the stage where users can ignore you.
Even if you don’t have a FB account you are in danger of imposter creating one for you.
A very small percent of customers require support and you can safely ignore them.
> The Falcon 9 booster also had similar flight plans until it could successfully fly a controlled trajectory to the surface of the ocean before they risked a drone ship too.

They also don't yet have any drone ships capable of landing the Starship or booster.

But yes, it'll very much "prove it can more or less land" prior to actually giving them anything (breakable) to land on.

+1, brother dcp-1512 which I got because it was cheaper than buying just the black ink cartridge for the HP inkjet it replaced. It’s hooked up to an old thinkpad and set up so we can AirPrint to it from our phones. Including one toner cartridge it’s probably cost under 70 bucks for 5 years of service.
Still confused why they picked such an anti-union state like Alabama for an attempt at unionization. I was told by a friend who worked at the UPS distribution center in Montgomery that during the big strike in the 90s, that distribution center had the largest number of workers cross the picket line. It's not that the state government is anti-union, it's that the people in general are anti-union.
Java has a mechanism, just pass alternate implemenations in constructors. If you must, a setter method. For most code you don't need to bring in the overhead of Spring, and @Autowired isn't really more convenient typing wise. Plus your unit tests become trivial, they're just POJOs with @Test annotations.

Spring is great when you need that dynamic control at runtime (especially when code dependencies are separated by modules) but you're just aping what good dynamic languages like Clojure or Common Lisp give you for free. But I can't complain too much, developing modern Java with its popular frameworks and with JRebel is getting closer to the Lisp experience every year, I'd rather have that than for Java to remain stagnate like in its 1.6/1.7 days.
