By January 2023, uBlock Origin stops working with Manifest V3.

This is the future people are advocating for with Chrome dominance.

Firefox has temporarily saved itself from this but don't worry, Google will eventually tie their hands as well.

In the U.S. maybe those options work, but in Canada they don't. If by chance the goods were shipped via a courier that will scan the barcode to return, that works - UPS for instance, but 90% of the time you need to print a return label because the goods aren't returned via a carrier that supports that.
Essential Terms of the Authority Crisis
Office stores have exactly like that in the Midwestern American city I live near. I like paper, so I have my own printer, but for occasional prints in 11x17 I use this and it's great. Quick, cheap, easy.
I would personally rather live in a safe society with happy and comfortable people, to the fullest extent possible.
I guess downtownish Raleigh is cheaper than Austin. But pretty much everyone I know who works in Raleigh lives in Cary or suburban Raleigh someplace. Raleigh does have a pretty nice downtown but the nice downtown is pretty small. (Which is a pretty common pattern with medium-size cities--often old mill towns--which have somewhat gentrified downtowns in the Northeast as well.)
Well AppleTV shows tend to get pretty good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, tv critics certainly aren't the "hacker news crowd". I do agree that AppleTV's content is targeted to be more niche than the much more broader content of Netflix which is trying to produce something for everyone. But that allows them to have good quality control over their product and there is nothing wrong with producing less content but content targeted at a niche. HBO found a lot of success in the pre-streaming era following a very similar model.
> to arrange the world according to the principles that resonate with my soul.

What are the principles that resonate with your soul?
What more do you want, or will you blame some specific demographic + sex + sexual orientation for this ?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you implying that all critics of inequality dislike cishet white males? Because I am a cishet white male and not only is that simply not true, but it misunderstands what we on the left are saying when we talk about systemic issues (e.g. systemic racism).

To say there is systemic racism does not say that all whites are racist. It doesn't even say that most whites are racist. (I don't think it's true.) It doesn't even mean that most police are racist. (I don't think that's true, either.) It simply means that our society is configured in such a way that produces racist results, sometimes through emergence and sometimes through hidden intent.

All that said, our society is way more classist than it is racist or sexist, but all those problems are intertwined, because the upper class benefits when the rest of us are divided.
There is a science fiction story about this: a man owns the whole planet, allows his fellow human beings to be there on sufferance until one day he has decided he's had enough of them and - very humanely of course - asks them to get lost.

Innocent people are not only executed in Hollywood Westerns but in the real world:

This fact alone makes capital punishment an atrocity.

Here is a recent example of how easy it is to get convicted while innocent (non-capital in this case, but highly illuminating):

So you weren't eating on the trail?

When you stop eating carbs, body uses carbs, carbs contain water, body removes water (think 4kg of water), the water removes electrolytes, you get "sick". A spoon of table salt in water fixed it once for me.
Don't they get you by making you change the proprietary sponge/ink pad though?

The thing about the natural world is that “Nature does not practice OOP.” Our nice hierarchies of animals reflect our desire to build hierarchies. Those hierarchies are tools that are useful for many purposes, but they weren’t blueprints for constructing life.

I speculate that if we think of our hierarchies as tools, they say at least as much about our own brains and the problems we’re trying to solve as the do about the domain.

Which is fine, tools exist as levers for the mind. But we shouldn’t confuse them with reality. The map is not the terrain.
If you are opposed to life, why continue to live?
I'm not convinced that leasing is a "bad deal," per se, any more.
I don’t agree. Faulting a company for using the code while the license allows it is divisive. So is using the word parasite.

If you don’t like it, change the license.
How can collaboration without E2EE be considered "secure"?

First impressions of DALL-E, generating images from text
1. "the area" is not homogenous. the northern parts of AZ and NM (even CA) to some extent are climactically and geologically quite unlike the southern parts.

2. humans have lived in the area for thousands of years. Yes, it doesn't fit into a northern European notion of "the kind of place humans should live", but it fits entirely into the southern European, north African and Arabic culture and living patterns. These cultures (along with the native Americans ones that flourished here for millenia) have developed sophisticated ways of living in this sort of climate and landscape.

3. it's not unlivable, it's just unfarmable (note that this is different from subsistence ag. or gardening).
Better Call Saul isn't a Netflix show. It's an AMC commission made by Sony Pictures.

It releases weekly because Netflix get it outside the US at the same time AMC air it on television.

I think Netflix should move to a weekly model for their content but they haven't done this.
Why hasn’t the printer industry not been disrupted by a company that isn’t hell-bent on fucking over their customers?
That seems interesting.
Hmm, I have a new Brother color laser printer standing here with two batches of non-brother (I refuse to say non-genuine) toner. Kind of wonder how that will go when my printer included toner runs out…
It was announced ON THE NEWS that "the password was 13 English characters that had meaning to the staff and policy was to change it yearly".

Seems like wealth according to this model follows a roughly Gaussian distribution around $100; it is not a power law or some other grossly imbalanced distribution as others have conjectured.

import numpy as np

W = np.ones(1000, dtype = int)*100

for _ in range(1000000):
i = np.random.randint(1000)
j = np.random.randint(1000)
if W[j] == 0:
continue
W[i] += 1
W[j] -= 1

yields the following distribution of wealth:

$0 | #####
$10 | #########
$20 | ###########
$30 | ##############
$40 | ###############
$50 | #######################
$60 | #################################

Even under communism the collective ownership was for the "means of production", not for they call "personal property" aka "things you bought".
I agree. It's so hard to recommend printers to family and friends now. It seems they all suck in their own very special way.

The only reason I even have a printer is that I happened to find an old LaserJet for 10$ at my local thrift store. It was "broken" but all i had to do was oil the laser scanner motor. Right era of printer, toner cartridges are only around 20$, and I put in a JetDirect card. Only thing is the memory is a bit lacking, even being fully upgraded, so for complex documents it sometimes will pause between pages.

I definitely wouldn't have bought a printer new today.
We've Redesigned Formspree
Brilliant feature, but this is the sort of thing that reinforces the idea that CLIs have awful discoverability compared to GUIs.
If you look at the WebKit/Safari Technology Preview releases over the past 6-12 months, it paints a different picture. They’ve significantly expanded the WebKit team and are (now) clearly invested in improving compatibility.

What's very funny to me, is that I can easily imagine every person I've ever worked with writing this same list, and also thinking of themselves as ranking highly. In fact, I think this list mostly boils down to "Do I like this person?". But that might be the most important question of all.
Reading the text a couple of times, it's actually far, far less secure than that:

> Fiat balances, such as U.S. dollars, British pounds, or euros, are held in your Coinbase e-money wallets as a balance in your Coinbase or Coinbase Pro account(s). For U.S. customers, Coinbase combines your balance with the balances of other customers and holds those funds in either: custodial accounts at U.S. banks and/or invests those funds in liquid U.S. Treasuries, or USD denominated money market funds in accordance with state money transmitter laws.

> Funds could be held in any one of these three manners so customers should not assume that funds are being held in one manner over the other.

So, if your funds were held in the custodial account (which you're explicitly told not to assume), and if Coinbase maintained "accurate records" (lolwut?), and if the bank where the custodial account is failed, then you're going to be made whole. Notably, Coinbase itself failing isn't part of that "if" chain.

Article seems kind of naive, many cities are like this pre-gentrification. Austin won't be any different. Probably worse because of what surrounds you in every direction for 1,000 miles.
We need laws to prevent such malicious practices. Currently most if not all printer vendors sell printers at loss hoping to claw it back by sell consumables at extremely high prices. Given such background, vendors have more than enough motivation to undermine 3rd party consumables if not totally lock them out.

Advantage compounds, so W[i] *= advantage * W[i]
Printer hardware is very specific, so you don't have generic versions of everything, defacto standards and official/unofficial documentation like you do in other DIY-able fields like 3D printers and CNC. The best you can do is buy replacements or salvaged parts for existing {HP,Canon,Epson} printers and spend months reverse engineering them. This will not only cost you more than buying a very nice new printer, but will suffer from the same availability issues every project depending on parts that aren't regularly for sale.
The article doesn't mention the climate impact, but there's a cost to people moving from a big walkable coastal city with decent public transport and dense housing (e.g. NYC, Boston, Philadelphia) to a city where you're driving everywhere and the AC's on for six months out of the year.

I understand the author's politics are basically "that stuff is for wussy liberals" but it should concern us all.
There can be. It is a thing that can possibly happen for sure.

The question is why would you prefer there being civil unrest to there not being civil unrest?

And if you prefer the latter why would you not exercise whatever power you have to realize your preference?

OO C is passable (2008)
We were talking about someone who had already co.mitted a crime and was now fleeing.
Printers became garbage when we switched from dot-matrix to inkjet.

Then they were horrible for 20 years until I decided to buy a Brother laser printer, and suddenly everything was right in the world.
Key difference - Uber didn't break the law while wiping out entire life savings volumes.

I understand that's a much broader-scoped situation than mentioned in the article (who cares about one country getting certain regs enforced), but the point stands - coinbase is a literally Ponzi scheme, and comparing it to other "eventually became legal" business models seems disingenuous.
Good OOP stuff is usually in a standard library or has to do with computer science stuff instead of business applications. Writing OOP style services and repositories and real-world object hierarchies (Prius inherits from Car and implements IVehicle) is where it sucks.
Being carnivore is unnecessary to strength and fitness, but many Vegans show important deficiencies on:

JFC, the video is titled "Crematorium" and the narrator talks about incinerating biological substance. Did you expect them to burn a body for youtube video?

> It also says it gets to 1200 degrees, much less than the 1800-2000 degrees required to incinerate a human.

Austinite here, looking to move.

There's a lot of political stuff that this guy glosses over because it doesn't affect him as a white male Christian. The "traditional gender roles" thing, for one. With our governor and the 5th Circuit eager to send anything and everything regressive up to our 6-3 SCOTUS, my lesbian neighbors are worried about things as basic as their marriage. The University of Austin he cites approvingly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Austin) is a right-wing project set up explicitly to be "anti-woke". And the heartbeat bill he cites as something that people can just disagree about has no exception for rape or incest, something that 75+ percent of people in Texas support. The government has moved to the right of the median Texan, and with the gerrymandered districts and no ballot initiative, it is not really democratically accountable to the voters.

And Texas is 45th in percentage of public land, definitely not a 7/10. With the growth in the Austin area, the hikes and water features that are nearby are always crowded, and you have to reserve campsites months out at state parks. If this dude went hunting, he more than likely paid to hunt on somebody else's land, something I never had to do when I lived in NC or VA.
I've got a HL series color laser that I'm otherwise happy with. The firmware version is reported as 1.34. I guess I just have to take care to never upgrade that, and make a mental note never to buy another Brother product again?
I asked another poster who mentioned an OTC desk so I’ll ask here to. I have functionally no experience with crypto but am pretty well versed in traditional fx. The amount the op mentioned would be quite hard to trade otc unless you were doing it frequently (read daily) with a fx partner. It’s just too small an amount.

It’s almost exactly the use case you want for an exchange (or really in fx a consumer liquidity platform as they aren’t really traditional exchanges).

Is that different in the crypto world? If so why? All of the costs (ie risk management) seem more expensive in crypto than fiat.
I saw a video of some kids that put a small (probably 50-100cc kids motor bike) against one. The speed it developed was like some NASA testing machine. It was awesome and a bit scary. One kid passed out. They are still probably my favorite playground construct.
It's possible to design print heads that are warped over time by ink that's not exactly like the official ink. At least, that's what I suspect killed my last (literally) Canon inkjet. There are a lot of rumours online about that practice.
What's the alternative though? Paying to keep people in prison forever?

Prison labour is bad as it undercuts workers and unions outside prison.

Perhaps organ donation and medical trials is the most utilitarian?
Publishing it, yes. Mostly on my blogs these days, though I used to use RSS to help sales people manage content across a number of websites owned by a wine distributor.

Interacting with it, sure--at a paid service level it's been easy to monitor service updates this way, but not so much at a personal reading level currently. Though you got me thinking...

Last time I was using a reader, I remember struggling to find a Linux desktop RSS reader with discovery features. I have my own OPML that I like & cart around, but it requires a lot of maintenance over time, and using feeds for their current value seems to subvert the fact that a lot of really great blogs are past their heyday (the good stuff is found by going back in time, not so much now & later).

I also thought it'd be cool if there could be a P2P effect with sharing OPML or RSS feeds, like a general catalog. Or let's say a Gutenberg.org mixed with Github for RSS. Find, explore, & remix others' shared feeds. Not sure if such a thing exists.

Almost some random thoughts here, not sure if any of this helps...
It seems dishonest to me when a ex chrome developer complains about apple not allowing other browsers when chromebooks exist, there the browser choice is even more locked down.
Looks like a good way to drift from the clock and eventually skip frames.
You're never going to have a currency that can operate outside of black markets avoiding regulation.

Every connection to any legal entity is going to be regulated, full stop. There is no promise crypto can make to get around this.

So now you want the government to “build a team” of competent software engineers and the government is going to have to compete with the private sector for talent. The average enterprise framework developer in the US costs at least 3 times as much as the average teacher.

Now on the other hand, return offers for interns at my BigTech company is around $150K. The average salary for the superintendent of schools for larger cities is $167K. Where is the government going to get the money to compete with the private sector?
Region locked ink?! That's a special kind of stupid.
My girlfriend sells self-made clothes online. In 2015 I made her a a small Tapestry 5 webapp to manage her orders and, this was the crucial feature, to determine payment status from her copy'n'paste online banking's transactions list.

Today, it has integrations for Paypal, Etsy, Shopify, DHL and HBCI (no more copy and paste, finally) and basically covers the whole order cycle with minimal fuss and gives her a quick way to publish new products which she does a lot as fabrics come in / get sold out.

I guess that's not that useless but of course it simply can not be worth the time I spent on it.

Yet, I don't regret doing it in the least because for me it literally is a labor of love. Plus, I learned a lot doing it and I can go down crazy paths like this one time I made an android app to cut out the background of her product photos. Didn't turn out to be useful in the end but eventually I did use OpenCV via JavaCV for something else in the software.

Currently I am in the process of rewriting it in Kotlin / Multiplatform (JVM+JS) and again, I'm learning a lot and making the software a lot sleeker and more functional. That's not going to be worth it either, I am sure.

Anyway, I wish I had day job were I was in constant contact with users to built them something of tangible utility and value.

Until they stop making the fusers for your model in 3 years... Ask me how I know.
No, this did not go bad recently in a declining market. There were never good actors - inkjet printers were physical malware in the 90s, too.

The cheap printer market has always been an abusive, anti-user shitshow. Arguably bad for the sellers, too - I've heard an argument that making cheap printers was the catalyst that ruined HP.
You realize that the only time Chrome needs to link those things to user identity is for synchronizing profiles across devices, right?

They have to declare everything they might use, but everything is still subject to the various Chrome privacy policies. I can guarantee that if Chrome were found to be violating those policies, people would sue.
This is... A bizarre take.
Impressive how wrong you can be in just two sentences. Kudos! :-)
Are you planning to support other cloud platforms as well?
In real life, absolutely. In the simulation, there is no compounding.
