If they are selling a product cheaply with expectation to make up the difference in long term addons that of course it’s a bad investment if people get the product cheaper and do the long term addons elsewhere. Nice to hear a company admitting the obvious for a change. Preventing people from using alternatives rather than making their own product worth it, means potentially HP is a bad investment for customers.

>Now the distance between them is actually very short - just a few meters and maybe 2-3 walls, totally reasonable setup for a cable connection ..... There were two strings printed with labels “SSID” and “Pwd”. I froze in horror. They wouldn’t dare. It is literally 3 meter distance. These are embedded devices, they do not need this complexity

Dunno how someone can be so completely shocked that people would rather just do it over wireless instead of drill a cable through "2-3 walls" and have the ugly cable running up a wall and across a doorframe or whatever.

Could have been done over a non-wifi type radio, but then the tablet would need custom hardware too.

I understand the security concerns but like people will choose those over having a house with ugly wires all over the walls or having to deal with wires that get chewed through in the floors and roof.

The challenging is getting the gas from a remote well location to a plant where it can be processed. This requires pipelines, gas gathering facilities, etc. If any of that infrastructure is experiencing an upset condition, the operator has to choose between shutting in the well or flaring the gas. Shutting in the well can be undesirable because it's still producing oil to tanks, and oil is where most of the profit is from. A shut-down well can also be hard to get going again.

Yes, as much as I love other HP products, their printers can be expensive and painful(at least in my experience). As weird as it sounds, feels cheaper and easier to 3D print, than handle paper with cartridge Inkjets.

Recently went for a brother toner based printer, and even if the quality it's lower if you look for details, feels so nice to have a device that "just works". Besides the toner and drums are multiple times cheaper.
They had as much control of what was available one their shelves.

> ...So, that is the problem isn't it?

Yep, it is a risk, but it's also not applicable in every case. Now, I'm not an expert and I'm not sure what are the exact boxes to check to avoid the issue but we for sure don't have it. It is definitely something to carefully consider when creating an open source business. I guess Amazon wants to provide nice developer tools and improve its cloud offer to attract people to its cloud solutions, but our product is not for such developers. Amazon is not interested in providing support and consultancy for XWiki (we know this for a fact since they use XWiki and sponsored important features). It does not scale that well, unlike providing MongoDB.

> would be an action in direct conflict with its own interests, wouldn't it?

One could think this, but it's not actually the case. I guess we already have enough support work that's not related to a lack of documentation such that we don't need to increase it artificially. We are actually incentivized to reduce our support work. Companies will usually need to be reassured by a support contract in any case.

We are big users of the documentation ourselves and we have every incentive to write good documentation because of this. Lack of documentation actually increases our cost of operation, because all of a sudden, if you need to know something, you need to find out the relevant developers, who might have left (but probably not because people usually stay), and wait for their reply, or wait for someone to look into the relevant code.

There's also no policy of keeping any documentation secret. On the contrary, we are encouraged to publicly document what we do. So when we document, we do it publicly, except for internal processes.

Our documentation is far from perfect, but it's because of a lack of time or diligence, not because we are incentivized to keep documentation secret.

What's more:

- a good documentation is a good look for someone who seeks to adopt our product

- the same values that push us to do it the open source way pushes us to also publicly document things.

- when documentation is lacking or help is needed, you can always reach us on our public chat and our public forum, and the product team is in reality usually quite responsive. And so if the documentation is good, there are fewer questions to answer. Of course, there are limits, questions that look like support questions will be invited to talk to our support team. Unless someone else in the community does answer the questions for free.
> whose research interests arguably make her one of the most qualified people to write about Čapek’s perspective on robots. “The chemical robots in the form of microparticles that we designed and investigated, and that had properties similar to living cells, were much closer to Čapek’s original ideas than any other robots today,” Čejková explains in the book’s introduction

This doesn't sound right at all. The play's about synthetic humans taking over from humans and falling in love, not tiny chemical robots.
While I agree that issues such as artists not being able to support themselves or rampant misinformation are ultimately contingent on social issues, I think we should try to mitigate the negative impact of AI in the meantime. Otherwise, there will be lasting consequences that won't be retroactively fixed by adapting.

Also, it may be that having powerful AI tools worsens the social problem by normalizing the generated art/misinformation.
Allowing the federal government to implement an income tax was one of the most destructive changes to the constitution we've ever made, and it's only gotten worse and worse over the decades. What was originally just supposed to be another tool to generate revenue has become an end in itself at best, an a lever to manipulate society at worst.

On top of that, the necessity of shoehorning everyone's economic activity into prescriptive taxonomies in order to implement this taxation has drastically diminished innovation on the margin, and has created unintended consequences that significantly distort market incentives and diminish our ability to adapt to change, with the situation we're discussing here being a prime example.

I'm worried that you're right; that it's beyond repair, and that we may have to live through a systemic collapse before things can get better.
There seems to be small steps but steady progress on the treatment but questionable progress on not getting it in the first place. See eg this Guardian article:

>Cancer cases in under-50s worldwide up nearly 80% in three decades, study finds

>Experts are still in the early stages of understanding the reasons behind the rise in cases. The authors of the study, published in BMJ Oncology, say poor diets, alcohol and tobacco use, physical inactivity and obesity are likely to be among the factors. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/05/cancer-cases...
We also have some very odd taxation in the UK with regards to property.

We have Council Tax (similar to property tax), which is a monthly charge for local services. Oddly based on house value in 1991 and regressive (richer you are, the less proportionately you'll be paying).

Stamp Duty, which is a tax on buying a house. We punish people for moving out of houses that are larger than they need, to a smaller one.

So we've got generations of people who weren't particularly rich, but have ended up in very valuable houses - and there's simply no incentive for them to get out of them.

We've sprinkled on some incentives to help first time buyers, but they're massively outweighed by the lack of 'stick' applied to the other side of the market.
I disagree with both conclusions. I would say it is more accurate, in my experience, that people partake of drugs in an effort to escape manageable problems. Likewise, provided enough productive actions and positive effort, the depression would be replaced with challenges that would lead to more peace.

"Special Deal: Comes With Free Six-Month Subscription With Purchase!" because six months is how long they intend to support the device, after which they turn off the service and brick all of them, and of course you can't opt out of the special deal because they don't get any of your data from a device that isn't slaved to their servers.

Why does it matter? Do we worry that asthmatics will start havin asthma attacks again if they stop their medications? Do we worry that diabetics will struggle with insulin problems if they stop theirs? Do we worry that people with vision problems will suffer again if they stop using their eyewear? If someone has to take ozempic every day for the rest of their lives in order to maintain a healthy weight, why the heck do we think that’s worse than being obese every day for the rest of their lives? Why is it more noble that you “nearly a decade in” struggle every single day of your life to maintain a healthy weight? Wouldn’t it be better if you could both maintain a healthy weight and also stop struggling so much?

That's what you want, but I've talked to people about this (~250 patrons) while doing some restaurant consulting and it seems there's a fairly common expectation of the opposite. The common refrain is that food prices have gotten too high and the current prices should be the norm without tips.

When you're an artist who tries to recreate things from the past you learn very quickly the limitations of what we use nowadays. Tradeoffs in efficiency are often paid for with quality of life. For example many of the older high pressure sodium lamps were better for human eyesight because of their colour spectrum being a segment of daylight allowing better contrast perception and not straining the upper limits of the cones in your eyes for night vision. Their falloff was also much better, preventing harsh shadows inherent to fluorescent and LED lights that hide things all too easily and create unwelcoming chiseled depth on architecture. Sadly adding in those little quality of life benefits costs more fractions of a cent per unit, so the modern LED bulbs capable of recreating them go without.

The other thing, about the "McCentury Modern" architecture, has been proven time and again over the last decade. Flat shapes without detail with random splashes of colour cause anxiety because the human mind needs visual definition and coherency. There are ongoing studies about whether or not modern architecture causes depression because so many people have noticed. At least in the past the cheapest stuff used bricks for facades, but developers think even those are too expensive now. That and the proliferation of grey is entirely about money, because it's easier to sell the lowest common denominator without a hint of individuality. This is especially true when it comes to market instability, because when tenant turnover is in the range of months grabbing the cheapest thing and throwing together the least personable environment to rope in anybody at all will keep you from having a vacancy of longer than a few weeks.

The films thing is just... Nobody actually looks at physical examples anymore, so they have no idea how things should look. With practical effects you were manipulating and testing what already existed instead of trying to recreate it as an approximation. There's a surrealist level of detail in almost anything created via CG, only worsened by the lighting needing to be flattened to cover up the unfinished work done because of an impossible schedule and masked with digital colour correcting. Real waves don't have that much foam, real diamond weave cloth doesn't have that specular profile, real explosions don't have such low luminosity and so many particles, so on and so forth.

A lot of people realize things are very wrong with the world, they just don't have the expertise or the vocabulary to explain it. So they point at things they know other people will innately understand as examples. Don't say they hate change because of that limitation.

Links worked well enough for the web, Google just came along and painted a picture of being able to find whatever you want whenever you want it.

Social graphs can offer a similar discoverability without search. You see what those you follow post, comment on, like, share, etc. Following tags just like you follow a person also works well. Before assuming we must have to have massive indexing and searching services, ask yourself whether you really need to be able to discover anything that anyone around the world posts, regardless of whether you have any sort of connection to that person, their context, their society, or their culture.
That's.... so strangely diametrically opposite to my experience with Nix.

I feel like the third point (competitors) is a major concern that was just brushed aside. The 'just out-innovate them' approach might work if your startup is well funded with a very capable and nimble development team. But what if you are a fledgling startup with very limited resources. You have a very small team that struggles to do a fraction of the features on your 'TO DO' list. You don't have millions of VC dollars that enables your team to keep the wolves at bay.

It wouldn't even take a tech giant like FAANG to outdo your project after forking your source. A medium-sized company could throw a dozen programmers on the project and their fork would surge ahead of the original with respect to features, support, and distribution. They could out-market you as well.

This is like a boilerplate advise for everyone, not just "startups". Also, why is there no emphasis on multiple backups?
I'm a little in the realm of speculation here. Part of the issue with Java for embedded devices was "a bad fit". What made Java thrive in the server or even applet spaces wasn't the instruction set but the rich ecosystem around Java. Yet, threading - as "inherent" to Java it is - is provided by the OS and "only" used/wrapped by the JVM. All the libraries ... megabytes of (useful) software, yet not implemented (nor even helped) by hardware acceleration. The "equivalent" of static linking to minimize the footprint never quite existed.

So on a smartcard ... write software in a (uncommon, and when compared with ARM which is a very "rich" assembly language) form of low-level instruction set, and pay both Sun and ARM top$ for the privilege - nevermind the likely "runtime" footprint far exceeding the 256kB RAM you planned for that 5$ card - why? Writing small singlethreaded software in anything that compiles down to a static ARM binary has been easy and quick enough that going off the ARM instruction set looked pointless for most. And learning which parts of "Java" actually worked in such an environment was hard, even (or especially?) for developers who knew (the strengths of) Java well. Because developers and specifiers expected "rich Java", and couldn't care less about the Bytecode. JITs later only hoovered up the ashes.
Maybe not terrible but certainly not great. It's best to keep confidential info exposed to as few components as possible.

Yes, but I'd argue that some food prices in the US (especially fast food and some lower end restaurants that lower classes frequent) have been artificially low in the US for decades and it has created unrealistic expectations.

Honestly there are some categories of restaurant in the US that probably shouldn't exist as widely as they do... but this is not what people want to hear.
