They just asked the question. How would we know that something is relevant to others if we don't ask? As another person in the same boat, it shocks me people even care about printers at this point. I do the same, just run to FedEx if I need to print. That said, thanks to the parent commenter asking the question, I now know. Not sure why you feel the need to lecture.

This Q&A is the evidence for why I think many tech people underestimated him, and as you observe such unfiltered Q&As do not occur with other tech CEOs, though he was not CEO at the time. He's not 100% right about how things would go, but he was a lot more right than anyone else proved to be.

Some of his answers to the really tough questions are not stellar, but Apple was in a truly terrible state at the time, and there were not nice answers to give. The fact that he stood there ready to take the hits spoke volumes though.
it is kind of strange. $3000 seems like a lot of money for a low quality couch. So I am being told that both prices of furniture went up and quality went down over time. How does that happen exactly? The article doesn't go into it and instead just quotes some executive saying he stands behind the quality blah blah blah...

If I had to guess, I think the undue influence we give to MBAs leads to things like financialization of products. This means cost cutting and profit maximization. I think it's probably that combination that led to this. It wouldn't surprise me if the MBAs decided they could cut quality, outsource, and increase the price at the same time because it could be shown on a spreadsheet so obviously that dictates what should be done.
As far as I know, the orders placed now have a delivery date 5-8 weeks out, so it's not the initial batch.

Instant Ink is a great program that got ruined by morons that think they're geniuses.

It's so frequent to see people that paid for a month of Instant Ink, cancelled their sub after getting their cartridges, and then got a Surprised Pikachu face when their Instant Ink cartridges won't work after that. Then they post to reddit crying about how HP won't let them use the ink that they paid for without a subscription.

They think they're geniuses for figuring out how to game the system. Pay $5 for a month, get cartridges, cancel, and you'll end up with a full set of cartridges for only $5! Do they really think HP would let them get away with that?

HP makes it clear: When you subscribe to Instant Ink, you're not paying for ink, you're paying for a quota of printed pages. The ink cartridges are nothing more than a vehicle to provide those printed pages. You never own the ink!
>> The belief that we can get to AGI comes off as religion to me. It is a substitute for something we can’t really understand, and it will continue to shift the more we learn, yet always remain out of reach. There will be some true believers, and some people simply gunning for power.

> As a counterpoint, I feel like the belief that we can't get to AGI comes off as religion. It presupposes an ineffable quality that we posses that machines cannot.

That's missing the point: the argument isn't that it's theoretically impossible to build an AGI, just that humans are incapable of it.

Here's another point for the belief in AGI being a religion: it's basically a sect of the larger religion of technological progress, which (likely falsely) assumes that technology will continue to "advance" at approximately current rates until we live in a world out of a sci-fi paperback. A lot of people believe that, but frequently resort to a motte-and-bailey fallacy when challenged.

> It's always hard to predict the rate of progress, Most of the current optimism comes from how radically wrong predictions were for the capabilities of AI today. 10 years ago a lot of people would have put current AI capability as arriving well after 2050. The jump in progress may not be sustained, but it definitely places doubt on people confidently predicting slow progress.

It's worth noting that "the current optimism" is not without precedent. IIRC, there was a big boom in AI in the 70s/80s. SHRDLU was pretty impressive. But then then the promising ideas were found to be dead ends and there was a long winter.

I'll go so far as to say anyone who mentions it in a business context (or especially leads with it) is almost certainly going to be some form of scam.

If it's anything beyond a little add in the church bulletin or a small fish on a truck, it's probably indicative.
> "We have seen that you can embed viruses into cartridges, through the cartridge go to the printer, from the printer go to the network, so it can create many more problems for customers."

That's a bit rich. The reason cartridges have chips in the first place is so printer manufacturers can monitor their use and try and prevent customers from using off-brand ones.

> I was personally harmed by this woman who was playing games with me

Let's assume you were a willing participant. I don't know your situation, how it developed, what kind of tricks they used to make you a consenting person, but, if you think deeply and objectively, you were.

Looking back on the bad relationships I had, with the wisdom, reflections and experience that age and life give us, I realize that I could have said no, taken a different path, lived a different life. Sure, they were bad, and I was bad with them and with others, but there was no chain holding me there, except the one I myself was willing to fasten around my ankle, perhaps because I was lonely, or scared, or immature. Or because sex was amazing, and they were a great cook, so sweet when they wanted to be.

Bad relationships should make us reflect on the faults of others, but especially on our own shortcomings. At least, that is I see them today, and my life got much better because of it.
This isn’t that crazy of a clearance - you just have to stop, write it down and take it slow. They’re going to fast.

For weird stuff like this I’d always draw it out.

“Ok runway heading until I pass the diamond shaped waterway, then right turn to heading 120. Keep it tight.

Now thinking about altitude, 1100 or less but VFR until OAK-165R, then 2100, expect 350 in 5.

Finally, 135.65 and 6320.”

Then sit for a second and brief it, it’s not crazy. Those guys are just going to fast and they’re a little behind. But “draw it out” on a piece of paper is such an easy way to to handle these sort of situations.

When stuff like this came up, I did not give a shit about ATC flow control or whatever - if I need 30 seconds of delay to understand the clearance they can wait. Its more important that we get it right than push out 1 extra airplane but do it incorrectly and make a big mess of things.
Normally an announcement like this would be based on a program of drilling. But yes there would be a lot of interpolation and I think some extrapolation.
About 10 years ago we set up a pretty slick integration from our office wifi controller to Google's account directory using WebDAV and Radius. It allowed us to have a WAP for insiders who could authenticate with their Google-issued one-time-passwords (needed because normally a Google login requires MFA if configured) and access our internal network with their individual Google accounts (no sharing of wifi credentials; no separate wifi login to manage for offboarding).

It was certainly Less Secure by modern standards, but it saved a boatload of time for everyone to be right on our internal network as soon as they connected to wifi instead of having to VPN in.
I was not planning on driving it in winter; sadly my main drive got into an accident and I had to pull it out of storage.

However, even at worst, I might use 60% of the battery in a day. I can easily charge 20-30 overnight so I generally make it back over a few days. Having a few bad days might result in me hitting the free L2 charger at the grocery store for an hour or two.

It isn't optimal so I've been looking at switching my garage door to a 240V charger. However, in actuality, I haven't had any major problems so holding off until I renovate the garage makes a lot of sense (I am planning on adding ground mount solar from which I intend on charging it but that's another story)

Oh; and likewise, I've never had a car build up so much snow. I assume it is due to efficiency or whatever, but my Toyota Sienna and my old Ford Mustang never required me to really get rid of all the snow to drive normally. Calgary also doesn't really plow the snow, so it's a problem on the once or twice a month that it snows and a few days after (until the snow melts)
FreeRDP 3.2.0
It screws over other use cases because it changes the economics of these streaming services. Monthly subscriptions for media, especially ones like Netflix, account for bingeing followed by dead periods amortized into the monthly price. Only counting active periods will break that amortization and the monthly price increases as a result.

If someone doesn't binge and their lifestyle includes watching things more consistently, they will pay a higher price to subsidize people who don't manage their own money. It is of course possible to accommodate everything by adding all kinds of choices but it costs time and effort and complexity to setup those systems, and those costs are always passed down to the consumer. As someone who manages my own financial life, I'd prefer not to pay those costs for people who don't.

I doubt the ability to look down will go away either, people who lack even this minimal amount of personal responsibility have endless ways of losing money and falling behind those who strive for personal responsibility. It's very costly and difficult for third parties to fix this kind of financial apathy.
Most households with kids needs a printer at home for school stuff or crafting.
I swear to god I was going crazy trying to find why I randomly tripped the circuit breaker at my house. I never made the connection that it actually happens when I try to print something. Enshittification indeed.
I believe this is going to be a long race and I think while OpenAI has solved important problems and gone to market first, they don't have anything to really be that "ahead" on. I think any one of these companies has the tools to pick a later moment to come to market without any serious risk of being too late.

> at least it removes some human bias out of the loop.

I am very, very far from convinced that this is actually true. I suspect it just shifts which humans have their biases in the loop.
That made me smile. Thanks ;)
some people work nearly every waking hour (I have more the a few hundred weeks in my life for sure) other huge logistical challenge that comes out of this is the hours for the call center need to overlap when you’re not working so you can call someone to cancel.

Thank you for your thoughtful short story.
Narcissists are absolutely a thing, but it sounds like you're conflating two groups.

The poly relationships I know, and the open relationships I know, just aren't even close to what you're describing. Even the closest singular example to what you're describing — one out of a dozen people who are open about being poly and a dozen more who are open about being open — was, despite being extremely selfish, not sadistic as the person you describe appears to be.
And in this case, where the crime is not one of violence, the punishment doesn't need to involve prison.

But the people who knowingly did wrong should receive some sort of punishment, even if it is just financial or being barred from their career path.

Problem is that management is usually not skilled enough (or just greedy for bonus money short term) to understand what is happening.
Cloud is good if you are tiny or need to scale really fast if you are growing and then move out of it.
For the bigger companies it can be a good strategy to scale out, but for that you only need IAAS and no fancy cloud vendor lock-in products.
you will always be cheaper if you build it on your own, if your usecase is heavy load.

you might be cheaper with colocation instead of building your own datacenter but most enterprises still have a need for their own anyway.
We found that we needed one once we bought a house because banks like you to sign + email stuff, for reasons that are unclear to me. One the one hand, the iOS "scribble on the PDF with your finger" feature has almost replaced that. On the other hand, their notes app includes a good enough document scanner, so we often print, fill out, scan and file instead of just scribbling on the PDF. (We used to print, fill out, and then use a full-duplex hardware document scanner, which provided better / faster scans, but does not fit in my pocket).
> reducing the over correction inherent to two pedals.

Leaving space in fronto of you and trying to keep a constant speed also reduces this effect, this is ironically most used in 3-pedal driving as otherwise you’ll need to go into first gear when hitting a complete stop.
https://www.google.com/search?q=autism+medicaid+fraud

Autism diagnosis benefits health care providers and the other concurrent symptoms can invite a circus of specialists. The targets are usually disadvantaged children whose parents don't really know how to handle the situation and frankly don't care if the costs are covered. There are often financial incentives for the parents as well from additional aid (monthly checks, tax return credits, etc.) while the diagnosis stands.

The symptoms of autism can be just behavioral to get a diagnosis and too many times that can be explained by plain old inadequate parenting. Lots of these parents are themselves depressed, addicted, or suffering from other mental health issues. The resulting behavior from the child makes perfect sense. The resolution can be as simple as letting grandma babysit more often. But that's not an acceptable solution once the public schools have recognized the child as special needs. Of course the schools benefit too. Gotta get those numbers up to justify the subsidies. I've seen it. Many others have too. I don't get why this is controversial.

Why would you want a computer strapped to your head? Computers generate heat and have weight that you'd rather put in your pocket than have to support with your neck. To make it work you're stuck with a trade off between performance, weight and battery life when none of those is fun to sacrifice in this context.
Agreed, bought it in 2016 and still going strong.
This is good. It is a little over 1% of the US continuous land mass (e.g. coast to coast without Alaska and other territories).
I do review CC statements diligently. I use GnuCash for my household accounting and refuse to use any SaaS or automated solution. I do want to review my statements, be it CC, pay stubs, 401k, etc so I know what's happening.

Yeah it takes a bit of time once or twice a month, but it's worth it I think.

Twice a year or so I catch "late fees" on my spouse's CC that shouldn't be there. Banks just seem to randomly do that because in most cases they'll get away with it.
The Soviet Union operated all sorts of uneconomical undertakings because they felt they needed to.

All that is needed is motivated labour that gets fed and housed. There is no magical law that you have to pay “market rates” so people can buy themselves gadgets.

Now to be clear I am not advocating for the Soviet Union or central planning, far from it.
I am only saying that there is no inherent reason why you’d need capitalism to fill space up with stuff.

It is obviously a very powerful system but it is not the only possible system or necessarily the best.
Again I very much like regulated and properly taxed market capitalist economies and want to keep living in one.
> How about – if you are not getting value out of a subscription (that you signed up for), go and cancel it.

That sounds sensible, but fails to acknowledge the power differential between a single person and a billion+ dollar corporation.

The latter has armies of people whose sole job is to intentionally make it almost completely impossible to unsubscribe.

Resolving this power imbalance is one of the useful properties of government. Pass laws that say it must be very easy to unsubscribe (some states have).
You can fire people via email. It's generally accepted to be more humane these days.
If you’re a normal person you’re better off just going offline and seeking actual connections.

Most of these open relationship and poly whatever people.. kinda weird people to begin with. Let them live online and in therapy. It’s just not a normal way to live regardless of how much people defend it lol so the sooner normal people realize that happiness and love is found offline the better.

Personally I am all in on VR and stuff like that so normal people can finally enjoy being outside while all the others are forever online doing whatever. Not my problem, it’s contained. Everyone will have a place they can find happiness which is the most utilitarian solution.

Ah. I see.

You are going back to old Adam Smith.

Let places/people that can make things more efficiently, do them.

Example: Don't give subsidies to car companies in countries that aren't good at making cars, it is inefficient. Better to focus on what you are good at.

There are exceptions:

National Security. See Energy, Semi-conductors.

or

To protect an industry while it grows, gets up to speed. Japan didn't become industrial power house out of nothing, they were very protectionist. Now they are dominant, but they aren't dominant because they let anybody at all come in and compete. They subsidized and protected their industry until they could stand on their own.

I keep a printer for the convenience.

A $150 one-time purchase will result in several hours of saved time going to the print shop over a few years.

I don't print often, but when I do, I like that I don't have to make a trip out.
Apple Privacy Manifest Files
Absolutely! I print off worksheets for my kids (online school) all the time. One of my hobbies(linocut) involve printing off templates.

It's great having a Brother laser printer at home. It's saved me hours and hours going to a Kinkos. But also keep in mind that my use cases are not generalizable. If I didn't do this, I'd feel much the way you do.
My gut feeling: Being Christian is a very weak signal. Telling people that you're Christian (in a context where it's not important to do so) strongly signals a desire for social prominence, which is itself usually a bad sign.

I expect this holds for other religions too, I just don't have much experience there.
Nice. The only company out of the FAANG which is worth its salt and will survive into the future.
I'm an idiot American and I can definitely remember and describe 20 different kinds of cheese. It's pretty easy to remember if you think in groups based on use: there's a couple of soft cheeses I like with fruit, a couple more that are good on top of pasta, a couple that are good on sammiches, a couple more to make creamy sauces, and a bunch that I just like to eat. You can get to 20 real fast, tho admittedly being someone who cooks makes it a lot easier to keep straight. If everything you eat comes from the freezer or Doordash, maybe not so much.
Better, but still a pain. Nothing compared to running Docker on Linux.
Ours causes a "UPS is now on battery power" dialog to pop up every time it prints.[0] I have wondered if it would pop the circuit breaker if the UPS didn't buffer it, or if the UPS is just overly sensitive.

I guarantee you there are very few on the planet whose time management is so strict that spending 30 minutes a month to review their finances would cut into any of those activities.
It’s really not that hard - most of my career flying was single pilot IFR, and the issue was seldom confusion about the clearance - the issue I found more often was either “I was in a hurry” or “ATC was in a hurry” and we inadvertently generated confusion through mutual incompetence.

The solution is to slow down, talk clearly, and also - to be clear, there needs to be a service to deliver clearances electronically. The initial clearance should absolutely always be available as text, but on the radio in flight, I don’t see text being THAT helpful, except in cruise, but not much happens fast in cruise anyway.
I've yet to meet any Christians who don't contradict other Christians, while being 100% convinced their personal beliefs are correct and all those other interpretations are wrong.

So I don't think No True Christian is relevant here.

Whatever religion the CEO was cosplaying, the bottom line is that she was involved in organising an aggressive criminal cover-up which caused multiple suicides, unlawful jail terms, and bankruptcies.

She must have done this knowingly, because it's unimaginable that information about these problems didn't filter through to the board.

Ultimately everyone on the board is personally responsible, and should be treated accordingly.
