> Fines are silly and useless. I guess if they were to have a $500 million fine, that would get the company's attention, but I don't see that ever happening, honestly.

Fines work great as long as they're sufficient enough to disincentivize the relevant behavior! If you made it so that any printer that you disabled cost more to you than one left enabled, then the business would absolutely change course, no huge single-time fine required.

> But I think if they put the C-suite and board of directors into jail for 8 years, that would have a major effect on all boards and executives.

Agreed, but I think that effect would be extremely detrimental to society (capital punishment for misbehavior also has a big impact, and is pretty clearly not the kind of thing we'd want.)

If there is currently a criminal law that the CEO is breaking, then by all means they should be tried. If we're just trying to end business practices we don't like, though, regulation and monetary disincentives are the way to do that.

Making an example of someone should only be done insofar as they've broken the rules. If we don't like the way they're acting while following the rules, the rules are the things we should change.
The issue with suggested serving sizes is that people eat a different number of servings.

If your caloric needs for the day are 2500 and you eat 10 servings of meals and snacks you'll overshoot.

It honestly doesn't really make sense as a metric. In times when I've been maintaining my weight I've eaten 1500 calories in a meal and met the target for the day. In times when I've been gaining I've eaten meals that wholly consist of green vegetables and essentially have a zero calorie count.

The total is what matters.

> IIRC you can crush up the adderall XR and insufflate it, so I imagine you could shoot it as well

You can shoot anything, but unless you're really careful and spend the time with "proper" technique, filters, etc, shooting pill binders is the fast lane to serious heart damage.

If you're at the point where you're considering shooting pills, you are also probably making other desperate decisions that don't involve proper technique, filters, etc.

The real proper technique is never injecting pills in the first place.
Did they misrepresent the printer? They advertise “dynamic security” in their marketing as if it were a good thing. If it was in the advertising and documentation, how is that misrepresentation?

That being said, HP seems to mostly rebadge Canon printers loaded with their firmware, so I am not sure why people are still buying them. HP is just a middle man these days.

The oil future prices drop to negative in an exchange in 2020. Funds rolling over the contract in subsequent months also took a big loss for rolling over contracts because price disparity in different months. Perpetual futures would eliminate such risks.
Yeah I remember back in high school when I did not own a computer and did not know anything about computer programming except for FOXBASE which was taught in school, one of my friends handed me a book about computer viruses which talked about Dark Avenger's mutation engine and the whole thing blew my mind off. That was probably the smartest thing I ever heard then. I wonder where he went eventually. With his skills he could probably find employment in any position. I hope he lurks on this place too!

I was too young for the BBS era (or rather, I did not own a computer to join the era). I guess it is similar somehow to IRC and Discord? I know people could play MUDs on BBS and share files on it. Fun time. I'm glad you managed to enjoy that era.

The goal need not match up with CCP, this is a red herring, there are many other actors in this space each with their own goals using the same or similar methodology and practices.

I must mention that overgeneralizing is a form of flawed reasoning and must be guarded against, also simply saying its the algorithm neglects the fact that people had to design and approve the algorithm which included their intentions that went into that. That statement tacitly absolves responsibility for actions done in bringing it to market.

None of this would be possible to this degree if there wasn't a many to one platform of fake people where a monolithic entity can determine how much certain subjects people get exposed to and talk about.

Communication is a fundamental part of human identity, and distorting process leads to issues from reflected appraisal.
If you do a lot of short range commuting and have a way to charge it at home, a PHEV could work - but good luck trying to buy one right now.

Otherwise get a hybrid or Tesla, period. There are nice non-Tesla EV cars available but the charging infrastructure, even in high EV-density states, is unreliable. This should improve in the next 3-5 years but you can not currently depend on the chance of finding working CCS fast chargers to justify any non-Tesla option for road trips in many parts of the country. Also note that very few non-Tesla fully electric vehicles are currently eligible for the tax credit due to not being built in, or batteries sourced from, North America. Edit: [3]

I recently came back from a 1800 mile road trip across the central western USA in a Tesla Model Y and never had a moment of concern about the charging infrastructure, including rolling into a Supercharger at 4 AM with 2% state of charge and just knowing that it would work. There are definitely areas, mostly west of the Mississippi, with significant pockets without good Supercharger coverage[0] although with an adapter you can also charge Teslas at CCS stations or even at RV parks.

If you want to see how your situation might work, A Better Route Planner[1] and PlugShare[2] are good resources for being able to specify your car and route and see how an EV may work for you. But honestly, just get a Model Y Long Range with the full $7,500 tax credit and enjoy!

You should try doing a game jam (or, multiple!) You have an extremely short time frame, and each time you start from scratch so you learn what systems work and what doesn't in a practical way that doesn't allow for perfectionism.

I've probably implemented platformers physics about 15 times now, and have a pretty good idea of how I personally like structuring game code.

It's legal to buy insurance covering civil liability for almost anything other than criminal acts. The price and availability of such insurance tends to vary in proportion to the risk, and policies often have specific exclusions to discourage risky behaviors.

Knowing HP's shitty policies some years ago I bought an HP color laser printer off eBay that was already then several years old. It was a model I understood to be able to work with cheap 3rd party ink cartridges.

I feel like these older, pre-dynamic security printers are going to be gold. Hang on to your babies, keep them safe, keep them running.
Propaganda is such a destructive tool, it's a one way trip. Just being forced to pondering if you have been manipulated in some capacity, for example while working in the offices, is damaging to psyche and undermining someone's sense of the world and even sense of self, but now it's additionally done at literally global scale. We're kicking the ground out from our own feet and adamantly keep searching for a reason everything isn't right.

It doesn’t get you compliant. It’s just a matter of the company saying, “Joe who made the mistake took a class in this subject in the past year so it’s his fault, not ours.” And they lose that “he had to know” if it’s been a while since you took the class.

And if they have to give up a half percent of your time for these videos, it’s worth it for them. And usually you parallel process through them anyways.

I liked my 1993-model LaserJet 4 until I realized what it was doing to my electric bill. I'd probably still be using it otherwise. Built to survive nuclear Armageddon.

Yes, but most companies aren’t allowing unfettered access to promoting, either.

My insider risk — a developer who attempts to extract training data, a LLM being leaked of internal data, or an employee who wants to break the prompt for competitive gain — is a lot different of a threat than allowing all of my customers a tool to query their data using LLM’s.

I really should get to blogging about my experiences with game development so far instead of just rambling incessantly on Discord. I'm a complete noob at it, but feel like I've got a decent amount to say and the game isn't going to market itself, ya know? :) Just hard to know where the right place is to put time and energy each day when doing indie game development.

Pretty sure the first post will talk about my experience building out a simple prototype in React + PixiJS, the landscape for JS development, and rationale for rebuilding in Rust/WASM/Bevy and then the second will be on my experiences learning those tools and opining on the pros and cons.

Would that be interesting to people? Are there specific aspects of development that people want to read more about than others? I don't feel like I have much to say on graphics and sound assets or anything like that (yet?)
The issue is the fine is paid by the company and not the people who actually did the crime. As a result, the CEO, the board and the other players will all get big fat bonuses and the company will take a hit. When the company takes a hit one thing happens the people at the bottom of the chain get fired, not the decision makers, not the people who pushed this policy but some fucking engineer that just had his first kid and thought being and engineer at HP was a great job. The system is setup so that people who screw up never pay but the people who have nothing to do with the problem always pay the bill. If the idiots at the top actually had some accountability I think we'd see a lot different choices being made, but that is just a pipe dream in the world we live in.
It isn't weakly typed, it has strong, dynamic typing. GP is either confusing weak typing with dynamic typing or making some other kind of error. To demonstrate, in contrast to say perl, try `1+"1"` in Julia. It'll happily error out for you instead of coercing that string into a number to perform arithmetic with.
Awesome, will try these out. Thanks.
The assertion that the startup will achieve this scale is the main pitfall here imo, the chance is less than 0.01%.

One of the things some of us have learned during the last few years is how to recognize a study that's too severely cherry-picked to be useful, and to call that out regardless of whether it's consistent with our own previous biases. And then there are those who double down on their preexisting biases, hyping any favorable study and nit-picking any unfavorable one beyond all sense of proportion to its quality. In other words, exactly how this became such a mess in the first place. Unfortunately, such baseless contrarianism seems to have found a welcoming home here.

I can't say for sure but I'd guess it was put in place by the legal team as a form of ass covering, since betas aren't always tested as extensively and there's rarely a good reason for normal users to want to install them.
> A firm with market power chooses a point on the demand curve that it faces. It sets a price as a markup over marginal cost and then produces enough to meet demand at that price. A firm with market power does not take the price as given and then determine a quantity to supply. In fact—strictly speaking—there is no such thing as a supply curve when a firm has market power.

No, not for GCP stuff.

I don't know of a single GCP product that's been shut down, although I could be missing something. But their track record for GCP is, I think, what you would want a cloud provider's record to be.

Opinion HN: Canonical has turned Ubuntu in a scam
The deceptive part is they fail to explain to users that they're running unpatched systems containing vulnerabilities. If they want to be Redhat, then they should stop distributing crippled, insecure software with gotcha marketing tactics and go closed. They're not FLOSS anymore, they're a commercial fork of Debian that average users should not use.

If you want a patched desktop OS, run CentOS, not Fedora unless you enjoy everything change all off the time.

And if you want a reliable commercial server OS on enterprise servers for important things that doesn't make drastic changes with every release, pay for RHEL.

If you want a free OS that has basically every package imaginable, there's Debian, Arch, and Slackware.

> In finance, there is an unwritten rule that you are supposed to settle with a firm by ~30-35 and stay there for the rest of your career. Many firms don't hire laterally unless they have no other choice.

Eh, I would say it depends... Investment banking and hedge funds, sure, you better join early and stay for the long term. But for private equity and other investment management (notably family office, fund of funds and endowment management), you can still be recruited laterally. I've even seen veteran MD level guys being regularly hired at my previous PE firm.

In fact, with leadership at the top not yet retiring at the biggest and mid-tier firms, it's becoming increasingly hard to justify staying around for that promotion. In my personal experience, I have yet to see anyone make anything beyond Principal (the tier below partner/MD) at the large PE shops before their 40s. Most instead go down a notch to mid tier firms, go to an emerging market office, or start their own. Not to mention the number of seats higher up is also on the decline.
