> The reason you're paying is for the ink to be delivered, even if pricing is only indirectly related to that.

This is factually plain wrong. You’re paying per page. If you print more pages than agreed, even on the same cartridges, you need to pay up per page. When you sign up, they even tell you to keep your original cartridges because the new ones are for your subscription only.

No one is paying for an agreed amount of ink or cartridges to be delivered. That’s not the service. The advantage of InstantInk is that you literally don’t care about ink anymore. You know you can print the amount of pages and HP takes care of when and what ink you need.
The reason why Facebook transferring data to the US is illegal in the EU is because its spy agencies and law enforcement can force them to turn over data.

It's not off topic at all.
"The essence of science is falsification. If your hypothesis cannot be proven wrong, it's a faith, not a predictor of fact"

this is the point.
I don't understand why it wouldn't be?

One of the most fundamental scientific facts is that quantum theory (the most precisely tested theory in human history) and general relativity are incomplete. There must be a bridge. And we have no idea what that bridge is. It's been this way for over a century; the lifespan of string theory is not so long in comparison. Until we find a way to falsify it, we have to keep trying, don't we?
100% agree.

For all the things I can think of to complain about our current government, this is not one of them.
There's two parts:

1. Hitting the big companies for the minor violations is a bit like arresting the mob boss for tax evasion. It's a lot more black and white than arguing whether they performed the right balancing test for legitimate interests (though actually they have previously been hammered for that one too).

2.

> Where data is processed should not affect the care with which it is processed.

This is true, but it does affect the conflicting requirements it may be subject to. After all the Snowden revelations, it's clear the US data privacy regime is not sufficient, as the US government will take what it wants, and that's why transfers regimes to the US are repeatedly struck down.
I don't support this at all. This is printing as a service, with interesting consequences once you cancel the service even with remaining assets available to you.

To get you to think about this some more, apply this to computing and storage as a service.

The gotcha risk is far ... far higher than you think.

How frequently is Commoncrawl updated, and what is its coverage level
How often is Commoncrawl updated? On a daily cadence? Or weekly/monthly? If Meghan Markle wears a Versace gown, that becomes a BBC article, and that article shows up on Googling "meghan markle" 2-3 minutes after the publishing of the article by BBC. What is the equivalent time for CC?

And secondly, is there a place where I can see CC coverage level? I mean - which websites they cover fully, which ones they cover partially, whether they cover reuters.com at all, or how much of of vice.com they cover, etc.?
Well, it's a hell of a lot clearer than a trip you slept through having a lasting effect.
Some parents don't use a separate profile for kids and have their app store purchase settings set to the low friction mode that lets you click and buy on the main payment method without any additional confirmation when the phone is unlocked.
> but ultimately is her responsability to raise her daughter

The game is marketed to and hugely popular among young children.

It’s possible to spend £2,500 on microtransactions.

The young child in question is autistic.

Your response: ‘mothers should parent their children’

I wish I could say I’m appalled by the lack of empathy, but I’m numb to it. It’s no wonder the birth rate is dropping.
I loved my eee but I can't imagine going back to that platform these days; it's workable for programming but it struggles with almost every task. You're going to want to run xfce or something rather than gnome or kde, among other things. I'd prefer a system76 laptop these days.
Very cool. I can definitely see this being useful for me in the future.

I made a similar tool which simply outputs the exact HTTP request as received by the server. It's useful to test how the client is mangling URLs or packing request body data. It was actually not so easy to implement, as basically every production web-server mangles the request before making it available. So I wrote it from scratch in C.

Okay am I insane or does “20 days of income” for a company that generates income 24/7 seem like the definition of a “trivial fine”?
Granted, this describes most of gaming today. The target audience of most video games today is actual children with their parent's credit cards and adult children, also with credit cards, who value buying skins and decals over actual gameplay.
I've had very good luck with purchasing printers that are marketed towards small business instead of families. Take a peak at what printer your optometrist is using and ask one of the staff how they like the printer. Tactics like this is how I find my printers.
So I don’t think I did anything wrong but still feel bad. And there’s no way I could predict such a response.

I feel bad for both of you. This anecdote seems to capture everything wrong with the current climate of discussion on these topics in the US right now.
I managed to fork the repository, set up rust and vscode, and run the CLI. Very cool stuff! I am not a Rust developer, though, so this is a pretty big barrier to entry for me to use the library. If you'd like to make it easier for people to run the code themselves, here's my recommendations:

- Add clear instructions for building/running the code, assuming the developer is already familiar with Cargo. (clone the repo, cd into it, run 'cargo run -- --label Foo --status Bar --color green` like you mentioned in your other comment)

- Add a github action workflow that builds+uploads the binaries as a Github Release, maybe using something like https://github.com/taiki-e/upload-rust-binary-action (I haven't used this but found it with some googling and it looks reasonable)

No need to do either of these things, just my recommendation. Thanks again for releasing such a cool project, very nice work, and best of luck!
If someone in the US visits a profile page of someone in the EU, that necessitates a transfer of data outside of the EU.

Perhaps that's an extreme and pedantic example though.
I think there are lots of opportunities to be sardonic in programs! Either literally in comments or figuratively in programmatic structures you use, or at a higher level of project design. Any time the system is in a bad state, appearing like it's heading towards a crash, but you've prepared a clause to catch and diffuse the situation it feels a little sardonic to me.
One thing that bugs me about too many modern scifi films is that they just end up being a big chase at the end with the good guys running away from the bad guys. "The Adjustment Bureau" is an example of that and as a Dickhead, I was disappointed though to be fair, most PKD film adaptations are poor.

> "We'd just seen hundreds of transactions, these payment confirmations, so then the panic set in - oh my gosh, whose card is this on?," said Georgina.

It was over many transactions, not a single transaction for £2500, and it's probably likely that the parent had previously purchased whatever the heck is purchasable on this game for their daughter, giving the transaction some sort of signal that it's okay.
I just don't donate to anything anymore. So many non-profits and charities are total scams that it pulls down the whole space.

When you have cancer and missing children charities giving 2% to their cause and spending the remainder on bullshit it is trivial to make your charity not look as bad.

If you really dig into it, a huge % of charity money is just funding the insiders travel and lifestyle in the name of "fund raising".

This payout is nothing on a relative basis compared to other non-profits and that is the real issue.
> Or do you suggest that we simply accept that kids charging money to their parent's account without permission is something society should pay for?

I fail to see how the bank taking their money back from a game, that uses virtual currency, is "society pay[ing] for [this]."

Besides, this is a known issue with a known solution.

Most places have a cap (or don't allow) how much anyone can go after a child's parents (typically $5k in the US) over the child's actions.

Going for specific for this case.

> In England and Wales, parents or carers are not automatically liable for the personal injury, loss or damage that the child has caused. However, if a parent was negligent in, for instance, allowing the child’s actions that caused harm or injury, or for failing to prevent the incident – the parent could be held liable.

Add in the mix that in this case the child has Autism...yeah I don't think this is the hill to die on for making parents pay for something like this.
It's true.

Fortunately the records are locked, so a second query will pick them up. Still sad tho.

What does your budget recomment. I've seen the XPS 13 for as much as $1400. And there are a number of new no-name laptops for just under $300 on aliexpress.

Sometimes I wonder why there are so many people advocating three strike and out laws, but never against corporations. Would be interesting if the third fine would be so large that shareholders are wiped out and debt holders are left with scraps.

"By people who aren’t listening to you."

This is the part everyone wants to say but isn't right. They are usually listening to people, just not people who agree with you :)

One of the grand follies is to assume politicians are not doing what their constituents support.

They almost always are, and often enjoy incredibly high local support/satisfaction ratings, even when the national ones are in the toilet.

They spend significant amounts of time polling and understanding how their constituents will react to issues and votes.

Now, you may want to argue those constituents are ignorant, or don't know what the vote really means, or whatever, but it's a sideshow.

I often see people say "well 70% of people in the country support X so politicians aren't listening". But when you break it down, they are usually voting in alignment with constituent support, and it's just a variant of Simpson's paradox in action (overall population vs subgroups).
That's true but the evidence points to companies changing policy to avoid increasing fines and the risk of being banned entirely.

You can't block this without annoying a lot of legitimate customers, so it's a business decision.
Oh - I was trying to gesture at that feeling you get right before you start implementing a solution. The one where you think you see it perfectly and all you need to do is write it down and it will work. It's the feeling you get right before you accidentally stay up until 2am.

You can, you tell your bank that you're about to travel so they can relax whatever system flags it. Happened a few times that my card got locked when I went to South America, so started telling my bank before leaving and hasn't happened since.

For travelling I'm using an HP Stream 11 laptop.
Low powered, for 200EUR or less, but you cand do lots of tasks, just don't open too many tabs. A travelling laptop must be cheap for me, because it is always on risk of being lost/stolen/broken.
I've owned a few Acer laptops over the years. Linux runs well on them. They don't run Linux perfectly but nor would they be perfect under windows. Anything as complex as a laptop will run into software v. hardware issues from time to time. If you want seamlessness, pay up for an Apple. If you aren't rich, buy a generic laptop, install linux from a thumbdrive, and be ready to occasionally fix things. Don't buy some weird Chinese machine with an esoteric multi-CPU setup with a third LCD screen built into trackpad and a keyboard that shoots RGB lasers. If you get the most common laptop in your price range from Amazon then there is a 99% chance that it will run linux about as perfectly as it will run windows.
there is actually rg6 cables with special shielding to protect from LTE frequencies
You're misreading the comment. The parent commenter is trying to say that since ink goes bad over time, it doesn't make sense to use inkjet printers unless you have high print volume to justify it. Therefore, the logical replacement is laser printers, which do not go bad over time (or at least at a much slower rate).

"from ground zero to $1M+ Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and 25 employees."

If it's $1m+ in recurring net revenue (i.e. after the cost of the staff provided to customers) then I think it's right to say $1m+, otherwise, it's more like GMV and I think it's misleading to call it ARR.

Every purchase my kids make on their iPhones, even free app installs require my permission, so the systems are absolutely already in place.

My daughter plays it and had never asked for money to buy stuff in game. I’ve monitored her playing and it’s a really neat platform tbh. I wish I’d had something fun like that to play when I was younger. It feels very Nintendo in the way it tries to build a safe, fun community for kids to inhabit.

That is the thing, though: you really should be involved if your kid is playing these things, and ensure you’ve setup good stringent limits. All of my device’s purchases are locked behind fingerprint auth. I’ve definitely done the due diligence of going through all the parental controls and locking everything down.
No, the number is given in a causal statement, it is not simply the reporting of a measurement as you claim. So the distinction between "accurate" and "precise" is definitely relevant.
What is the plan exactly? keep going at a loss until self driving cars? If they raise prices, do riders use lyft instead?
I am probably much more extreme than you on this issue. If I were dictator, tablets would be banned for children and in-game transactions would be illegal. (It isn't just children it takes advantage of.)

But this class of problem is broader in scope - there are all kinds of services and products kids might be using their parents' cards without permission, and in a lot of cases there might be no real material loss to the company if they "eat" the refund. I think it's going to be very hard to sensibly adjudicate anything broad specifying when it's OK for the retailer just to eat the loss and when not. I don't think it's reasonable to simply declare that "your kid used your credit card without permission" is the same class of problem as "your credit card was stolen."

Perhaps the best thing to do is have a mandatory refund policy on electronic products and services within say, 120 days, but this won't be very popular, and while I'd support it, opponents would likely rightly complain that a lot of consumers would abuse it.

Yeah, I understand now. I was 100% not interpreting any of that as meaning what HP means by it.

I was thinking that they were using "pages" as a means of measuring the quantity of ink in a way that people can understand, not as literally meaning "pages".

I thought that way because I really believed HP was offering an ink subscription service, and my interpretation is the only one that makes sense if that's what it was.

But it's not. This feels intentionally ambiguous to me. Perhaps it's not, but I bet my interpretation of what they're saying is not rare.

I remain very pleased to avoid HP inkjets, regardless.
> They can say the sub is for "pages printed", but that's complete nonsense and everyone knows it. It's the INK OP is paying for.

No, they are paying for pages printed. Which may be a dumb model for consumers (its common for business) but its the model they explicitly signed up for.

While I understand these are just idle musings, you should note that this is failing to address the biggest problems that actually "require" a theory of everything.

Most importantly, it doesn't explain how quantum fields interact with a non-flat space-time. If you try to combine QM with the space-time-deforming characteristics of mass from GR, you quickly get infinities all over the place, which is obviously not what we observe.

Secondly, the object that you are calling a black hole is simply different from the object called a black hole in GR. That object, by definition, has a huge mass in an extremely small volume. All the other descriptions of it are derived properties of how GR says masses affect the structure of space-time. And it should also be noted that the event horizon of a black hole is much wider than the size of the object just before collapse, as far as I know - which sounds different from what your model would predict (but perhaps not?).
> This is in Europe, mobile data coverage is practically 100%, isn't it?

Not really. In tunnels and remote areas (I mean middle of nowhere train tracks with fields, hills, cows as the only things within a multi-km radius) coverage can be extremely spotty. Even on very highly used high speed routes like Paris-Lyon or commuter routes like Paris - Melun there are blind spots (and big ones depending on the provider).
