Genuinely baffled at the business strategy of taking a relatively low cost commodity product, and attempting to turn it into a higher-cost (in the long term) subscription.

Like, I get it in the spreadsheet sense that more money and recurring revenue is good for HP. But how exactly is this supposed to play out in the marketplace?

Are there any examples of other companies successfully executing a similar strategy?
When a person tells another person "you need to do X" or "I did Y and it didn't work on my machine", they sometimes ignore important details due to their own curse of knowledge. That's when I need a shared terminal/editor so that both parties know exactly what is happening.

I don't frequently share terminal/editor but occasionally need to do so, maybe a handful times a year. Most of times when I tell a new colleague "hey, connect to my tmux socket by running this command / opening this link", they were amazed and thought it was magical. I am not a Zed user but it's always welcome to see people making effort to make pair programming easier for everyone.

Now, I don't know how I would feel if one day my colleague send me a sharing session link that can only be opened by a particular editor.
They scheduled a new collection with the same logistics company. The logistics company didn't show up again. I called them again and they offered to schedule a third collection with the same logistics company. They were adamant that I must return the piece of junk or pay for it.

Apparently Amazon believes I'm supposed to spend a full month at home waiting for a company whose pickup process for amazon returns is broken or no longer exists, and THEN pay for the privilege.
Impacted versions in CVE listings are normally not validated.

For example, my CVE-2022-2007 in WebGPU also supposedly goes back to Chrome version 9. That's impossible, as WebGPU wasn't even a concept back then.

This is free filing with "trusted partners," but the IRS also has their Free File Fillable Forms (not open yet) which have no income limit. The UI is a little rough, but matches the official IRS forms.

I got mad enough paying H&R Block a couple years ago and decided to download the fillable PDFs and do it manually. It was a good learning experience. Since I'm filling out the PDF forms anyway I wish I could just upload those to FFFF, instead of having to re-enter everything manually.

Still it's better than my state (Indiana) where I can't file online without a third party. It does bring me some satisfaction that I fill out the PDF forms, print them, mail them to the state, and someone gets to (probably) type it all back in to a computer. Efficient.

Web browsers rely on the sandbox. Almost everyone runs untrusted code single day. There are very few people who do not trust the sandbox.

It does not directly affect servers if one rejects your rather broad definition of untrusted, but does indirectly.

> I’m pretty sure untrusted code means code you can’t trust, which includes any code that you haven’t either analyzed yourself or put through some sort of institutional review with auditable sign-offs.

That is so broad that very people are running trusted code. You would need to ensure your entire stack down to the firmware it runs on had been analysed.
I remember buy an HP printer going to the store to buy ink refills and leaving with a brand new printer because it came with ink and was on sale cheaper than ink refills

Well most people are just not literate when it comes to finances. They are not aware of what withholding means, how to calculate things. I'm sure it's not simple to do when you are working multiple jobs, or temp jobs in between (well these won't be those simple W 2 scenarios we are talking about).

We are know that the tax codes are intentionally complicated and big firms don't want government to fix them. Rules being complected allows having loopholes for certain people.
I have wanted to try out Zed for a while, but unfortunately it still seems to be Mac only.

Any plans/timeline for Linux support?
I'm the tech guy in my family and their extended circle of friends. Whenever one of them asks me "What printer should I buy?" I tell them two things:

1. Buy laser rather than inkjet unless you're printing photographs every day.

2. Brand doesn't matter as long as it's not HP.
Isn't Clojure the most mainstream Lisp at this point?
A toy model of existing Python code is... a type system, which Python has. TLA+ is appropriate for cases where you don't even have that.
there is very little that a W-2 employee can do if thats the only thing they do, aside from depreciating real estate and mortgage interest

if your goal is to earn and park money in a bank account, the government is trying to tell you to do literally anything else by taxing that the heaviest. their aggregate goal is for velocity within the economy because that is more useful for the government than its tax revenue, and so that is rewarded.

so its not really useful for me to write tax deductions that likely don't apply to you

Have you ever considered learning about Mr. Rogers and what made him the way that he was? There's extensive documentation about how his childhood experiences basically shaped him into the person that he became. I'd wager it would perhaps alter your viewpoint a bit if you were to understand the "why" behind Fred.
No, this is not. This is an attempt to bring overclassification under control, which has been admitted in the open press to be an ongoing problem for DOD. No one ever got fired for being too careful with classified. You can lose your job and your career for not being careful enough. On balance this is a good thing, because information is generally classified for a damn good reason, and it's important to keep US adversaries from learning our capabilities and what our playbook would be in a given situation.

But it also culturally leads to the default behavior being "don't share information." Which in turn leads to things being more highly classified than they really need to be, which in turn is a huge bureaucratic drag on getting things done beyond just what may involve SpaceX or Boeing. This reads to be as much or more an effort to make sure things are classified at a sane level, and that the right information is sharable to allies and partners who have the proper clearances. Foreign disclosure of classified and managing information sharing between allied governments is already a huge administrative PITA that gets worse the more closely held the information is. So this seems to be an effort to take a step back and say "OK, let's not go round the bend with secrecy, let's balance protecting our interests with sharing what our allies and partners need to know."
I served on a jury once; it seemed to me that the jurors took the process more seriously, and did our jobs more carefully, than anyone else involved in the trial.
No shit. The scientific method has been dead for a long time in the West because of politics.
So what is the play here with Zed being open source?

How does Zed make money here?
Right, the cartridge could (should!) be made as dumb as possible. It seems unlikely you'd need it to do more than be an ink container. But regardless, if the printer can be hacked, and the network attacked via the printer, no amount of DRM at the cartridge interface will change the risk. If HP releases a hackable non-DRM printer, it would probably release a hackable DRM printer.

A bit late here, but I thought I'd mention something in addition - most hospitals and doctors don't want to take on the burden or supporting something new and specialized. They will focus on providing care and buy support. Some have small IT departments, but even IT support is regularly contracted out.
Recently moved my mechanic to a Brother B&W laser, their HP SOHO laser was hot garbage. Never expected to see that with HP's laser line.

20+ years ago I had some visibility into conversations inside Microsoft about converting their software license lines of business into annual subscriptions. The benefits to the business were obvious: revenue patterns would better match up against expenses, and be more predictable. Per-person registration and authentication would cut down on license sharing and piracy. Revenue would probably go up in aggregate.

The question was how to justify this to the customer. Ultimately they had to reinvent their products to make the conversion seem worth it. MS365 solves a lot of pain points in business. For the most common basic use cases, Office online works better than the client software. Features and fixes arrive right away instead of waiting on a version install cycle. Security is Microsoft’s problem now, not mine.

It seems like HP still needs to go on that journey. Subscription printing needs to be way better than printing now. If it were me, I would look at Comcast’s WiFi model, where they leverage everyone’s routers to give everyone WiFi. Imagine being able to easily, instantly, and seamlessly print from any HP printer you happen to be close to. Add in some business partners and it could be compelling. Hit “print” and walk into the nearest CVS to pick it up. Take a page from streaming video services and do partnership deals where it comes as part of another subscription (“Comcast Gig Internet now comes with Print Anywhere included.”)

In this model you would pay for access to printing, and separately pay for the added convenience of print at home if you want it. A local print device becomes an upsell, not a barrier to entry.
Who's eligible for IRS Free File?

> Taxpayers, including active-duty military, with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $79,000 or less in 2023 can likely find an offer from an IRS Free File provider that matches their needs. Some providers also offer free state tax return preparation. Those with an AGI over the limit can still file their return for free using Free File Fillable Forms.
They don’t even have to subpoena they can just ask.
Zak Freedman – The Glorious Chaos of Sanjay Mortimer [video]
AIUI, this is the result as a compromise. Instead of the IRS creating its own free tax prep software, the existing tax prep industry had to make their offerings free for people under a certain income threshold.

Of course, the tax prep industry engaged in all sorts of dark patterns to make actually obtaining the legally-required-to-be-free software for free as difficult as possible, so the IRS is now working on its own free tax prep software (which is the Direct File system, not the Free File system).
I think this is a case of wishful spreadsheet thinking. The numbers go up in Excel, must be good!
Sounds like the ecosystem and industry is just irreparably damaged.
I don’t see why freedom of speech would be impacted by this. Existing laws around copyright and libel will need to be applied and litigated on a case by case basis but they should cover the malicious uses. Anything that falls outside of that is just noise and we have plenty of noise already.

Even if we wind up at a point where no one trusts photos or videos is that really a disaster? Blindly trusting a photo or video that someone else, especially some anonymous account, gives you is a terrible way to shape your perception of the world. Ensuring that less people default to trusting random videos may even be good for society. It would force you to think about where the video came from, if it’s corroborated by other reports from various sources and if you’re able to verify the events through other channels available to you. You have to do the same work when evaluating any other claim after all.

I've been using Zed for the last few months, and it's amazing, very fast and clean.

My only worry is that the collaboration features won't be used much, as they require most of the team to use Zed.
It sounds nice in theory but I've noticed I cannot focus when somebody else is looking over my shoulder. It could be useful as a way to occasionally show somebody around the code base though.
Next they'll make some deal with paper makers, to water mark blank paper in a way that only licensed paper can be used in their printer.
I would like to see crowdfunding of bounties that people could chip into, that are released to hackers who successfully accomplish the task. It would cost nothing to the contributor unless the bounty was claimed, and awarding the bounty would be done by a vote of a quorum of trusted leaders. Examples would be "jailbreak the XYZ phone" or "remove DRM from HP printer model 123xyz", etc.
I can remember my dad bringing home an old LaserJet (4 maybe?) in the late 90s. The thing lasted me from late middle school through college, and would maybe still work today if i hadn't tossed it after 20 years... these days I need to print something maybe one a year. That thing was a tank though, don't think I ever needed to replace the toner...maybe once. What it didn't real have were "features". It had a parallel port interface. It talked postscript. There were Windows drivers for it, but on linux I just did it old school... dvi2ps (or whatever, yeah, I did my highschool homework in LaTeX, math class at least), then cat the .ps to /dev/lp0. CUPS had a driver, but it wasn't especially reliable so I mostly didn't bother.
Is it illegal in the US to hack your own HP printer? I remember ~20 years ago there was a pretty huge cottage industry in grey market inkjet refills and DRM circumvention

The downside of organic is that it might be even more energy- and resource-intensive than the alternative, and generally has no guarantee of being more nutritious or tasting better.

I remember reading years ago that organic peanuts at industrial scale can basically only be grown in arid regions, because the only effective alternative to fungicide is dry weather. That means organic peanuts are actually really bad for the environment, and due to the way water is priced in the US, the price on the shelf does not reflect its true cost.

Likewise for organic blueberries and cherries shipped up from Peru and Chile in January. It's hard to comprehend how wastefully luxurious that would have seemed at a not-too-distant time in history. And odds are high that those berries are bred for bruise and rot resistance, rather than nutrient content and flavor.
This. Tax regulations are thousands of pages. And if you own a business, there's no way you're going to be able to run the business and become a tax filing expert.

The cool thing about tea leaves is that the caffeine is stored in crystals that are not particularly soluble. There's an organelle that contains an enzyme that breaks the crystals down into a soluble form.

There are a couple varieties of tea that are actually fermented, but for most teas it's a misnomer. You aren't causing fermentation, just autolysis (latin: self digestion), which is more akin to the malting phase of beer production. Black tea is left to process longer, while green tea is interrupted sooner. The switch is turned on by bruising the leaves, and off by desiccating them.

From a caterpillar's perspective, a tea leaf is booby trapped. Waiting for mandibles to mix the ingredients and create the insecticide.
Yeah, throughout the piece I couldn’t help but ask "why do cartridges carry executable code in the first place?"
>The "price per page" has long been a efficient business model in the professional copier world.

This is true, but I'm not sure it's can be adapted for home use.

Every price per page agreement I'm familiar with involved leasing a machine and carrying a service contract. Both of those agreements make sense when we're dealing with something with a price tag of a new car that is a critical part of a business, but not so much when it costs a few hundred dollars and prints nothing more urgent than Amazon return labels.
You can also get a lot of open-box stuff (like smarthome items) for much cheaper than on Amazon

When they need to be officially recorded with the NHTSA as a safety fix attached to the specific VINs affected, and with proper notice given to owners.

That said using that recall count as an indicator of quality isn't really useful either. Most car companies have millions of cars recalled at any given time for usually relatively minor issues.

It's a damn shame too. The HP laser printers from the 90s and 2000s were absolutely bulletproof.
My impression is that printing is not a growing business. There might always be the need to print something but I think the heydays of printing is over.

HP is going to continue to try and squeeze more profit from a diminishing market and users will not benefit from that no matter how they try and creatively package it.

> Content-addressed backups sound something like how git stores data, is that the best way to think about them?

I think it is a valid way to consider them. Another option is to think of the backup as a special kind of file system snapshot that manifests itself as real files as opposed to data on a block device.

> And if so, what would be the main differences between just committing to a git repo for example?

The main difference is that good backup tools allow you to delete backups and free up the space whereas git is not really designed for this.
