That... isnt really a correction?

You get 20 pages credit, which btw carries over to 3 times your monthly plan. So if you know your going to be printing somewhat consistently (which I said in my original comment) and you will use the pages the math lines up.

Even if we just look at the fact that it adds 10-15 pages (I don't know why its a range) of $1 after you use your pages that is still cheaper than going to staples.
Thanks, that's much better than Medium.
Why should Apple trust Epic Games?
I know everyone hates subscriptions, and it sucks how much friction is being put in the way of folks who don't want it. But I've loved having an HP Smart plan. Most of the time I don't print a ton so I pay $1.50/month for the random items that come up in my life. Then every August I bump up the plan since my wife is a teacher and prints a lot more in preparation for the school year. I've gotten 3 ink refills which would cost ~$210, vs ~$90 for the subscription in the past 3.5 years and I never had the annoying moment of needing to print something but being low on cyan and having to run to Staples.
Bike lanes in the US are useless outside of perhaps 3-4 cities (all with exceptional public transportation systems) And they’re really green vanity projects that do not deliver value to urban areas. Utilization is piss poor especially during winter months.

Edit: I am not against bike lanes but they’re really the cheapest way for city planners and politicians to pull a publicity stunt. A proper way to increase bike utilization is to invest in public transportation and actually drive down car ownership. But, this is a very expensive (and might even be impossible) feat in the US. WFH is not helping the trend because it’s facilitating people further out of cities which, you guessed it, increases car ownership.

I don't know, do you see Germany trying to reclaim territory right now? Is Austria laying claim to Hungary? What kind of argument is this?
I'm not sure your math checks out. With 1024 bits of entropy and, say, 1 trillion valid links, your chances of any one link being valid are 1/2^984

So test a million links - your probability of finding a real one is (1-1/2^984)^1000000. That's around 1/10^291 chance of hitting a valid URL with a million tries. Even if you avoid ever checking the same URL twice it will still take you an impractical amount of time.
Victoria Nuland is a red flag. Conspiracy theorists are obsessed with her for some reason. Whenever she is brought up, I stop listening. She's not that important.
> PKU, Shanghai Jiaotong, or Tsinghua.

They have State Key Laboratories as affiliated with them as well

Nope. Any kind of tangentially military funded research (aka almost all of STEM) because of how vague "Civil-Military Fusion" is defined (or not defined in this case)

> What a strange law

Executive Order, not a Law.

> making those universities much less popular in future admittances

Maybe, maybe not. There isn't as much of a pull factor anymore especially after the DoJ's Thousand Talents prosecution shitshow.

Trump really fucked up the China-to-US talent pipeline which was a net benefit for us.

> they do not seem to be enforcing it for PKU, Shanghai Jiaotong, or Tsinghua

F-1 and J1/2 applications have fallen dramatically since this EO was passed (though zero COVID and the shutting down of American consulates during that affected this as well)
The claim (which I don't personally agree with, but I'm trying to represent here in good faith) is that although the data is copyright, training models constitutes "fair use" under US copyright law and therefore you're entitled to use copyright material for this.

Fair to say that whether or not this is correct is pretty important to all the outstanding court cases on this matter.
> but the facts of life are that nobody is going shopping on a bike.

I do 99% of my shopping on a bike, even some smaller IKEA/furniture stuff I carry biking, just with a Chrome Cargo backpack.

I think you are extremely biased to your locality... Probably have never lived in a well designed city where biking is not dangerous, is encourage through good urban design, and where cars are also penalised and discouraged by good urban planning.

Like, that's ok, but this take just shows an extreme blidness to how things can be. Just visit the Netherlands, any medium to large city there, and you will be surprised about all the things people can and actually do on a bike.

Also, cargo bikes are a thing. You can carry a lot in one. It's much cheaper to buy and maintain than any car you could imagine.
> Why does the US have to get involved? Wouldn’t Arab countries, be more suited to conduct such operations?

No, no other country is more suited to, on an emergency basis, construct a port like this.
You're assuming a symmetry that doesn't exist.
Here is a headline from today:

> Blinken tells Israel that it must act urgently to boost Gaza aid

It sounds like an order to me. And considering that I think Israel is a US satellite, I think it will come to pass. Let's wait and see.
As well as what the others have said, various bits of software make the assumption that 1) may be private and to be careful with it and 2) isn't.

eg Your web browser will automatically save any URLs to it's history for any user of the computer to see but will ask first before saving passwords.

eg Any web proxies your traffic goes through or other software that's looking like virus scanners will probably log URLs but probably won't log form contents (yes HTTPS makes this one more complicated but still).
Yes, we surely are buying those F35's out of our own free will. /s
You're better off than here in the US, then; here, administrators get paid significantly more than anyone doing work that is directly productive or creative, and generally to advance past a certain point in your career, you must move into administration.
Airstrikes also happen in the context of attacking an entire building or called during a firefight

I am not saying journalists weren’t targeted when they were involved in the fighting or part of Hamas.

I am saying whether you have evidence that journalists were targeted for being journalists like you are implying, and that is evidence i don’t think you have
Unions have already figured out that foreign workers will need to staff it and will make everything from construction to operations near impossible. Which is incredibly shortsighted - you need the job demand before you can create the training demand and the skills in the country to train them to make it feasible for Americans to work there.
Most people going shopping need to bring multiple bags home. How about if you have small kids? What about areas of the country that have winter 6 months out of the year?

It might increase business for a very small and narrow demographic, but I seriously doubt this will be the case overall.
I couldn't believe I had yo scroll almost to the bottom to find what I thought would probably be the 1st or 2nd comment. I was just about to give up and write it myself.

Between pihole, extensions and userscripts I never see ads. Ads wouldn't bother me in the least and I wouldn't block them if they were static like in a newspaper. It's the tracking I won't tolerate.
Globalization is exactly that, until there’s global equality of salaries. We’re seeing it at the moment where Chinese cars are taking over the market because they’re better priced than European or American alternatives. To compete they have to move production to Chinese, see for example the large production of teslas in china, or they replace humans by robots…

The biggest problem with free markets is that it’s not really a sustainable system in the sense that with a certain income you can’t afford the things you need provided by people enjoying similar incomes. Hence we need to mass import product from lower income countries, and even local labor needs to be imported from lower income countries. Cleaners from low income countries, construction workers from low income countries.
From the areas I've lived in, the same people pushing for limiting cars, more bikes are also anti-growth when it comes to housing. Like yeah I'd ride a bike if I lived a mile or two from the office but I can't afford that so have some understanding on the less privileged.
If the US didn't then NATO is effectively toothless, if the US did then Russia would be destroyed. I'm sure lots of officials in Moscow have spent a lot of time thinking about it.

NATO doesn't have "revenue". It has a little to run offices and stuff but it is tiny. The big gain from NATO's perspective is another member and its military capacity, and the terrority. Which is a huge thing, just look at a map.
With this argument no modal change can ever Happen.
Latest MacOS versions for some reason have pretty bad Brother printer support - I have to print on my (admittedly pretty old) printer using a special app instead of just sending it to the printer as it used to work. Maybe newer ones don't have this problem?
Military surplus is usually auctioned off to eligible buyers at a large discount. There were a number of stories back when MRAPs coming from Afghanistan and Iraq were sold to municipalities.

Not at all. I think it's become clear that all the attempted solutions to the 'problem' of free speech have worse consequences than the problematic speech itself.
The article and the blog post is about open-sourcing their server software though... which means you will be able to run the same software at home for free, instead of paying them to host it for you.
If anyone else was wondering, the 4 biggest cities in the USA are

New York City: ~8.4 million
Los Angeles: ~3.9 million
Chicago: ~2.7 million
Houston: ~2.3 million

And they account for ~ 5% of the total USA population

(17.3 million / 331 million) * 100 = 5.23%
Links that are not part of a fast redirect loop will be copied and pasted to be shared because that's what URLs are for, they're universal, they facilitate access to a resource available on a protocol.

Access control on anything that is not short-lived must be done outside of the url.

When you share links on any channel that is not e2ee, the first agent to access that url is not the person you're sending it to, it is the channel's service, it can be legitimate like Bitwarden looking for favicons to enhance UX, or malicious like FB Messenger crawler that wants to know more about what you are sharing in private messages.

Tools like these scanners won't get better UX, because if you explicitly tell users that the scans are public, some of them will think twice about using the service, and this is bad for business, wether they're using it for free or paying a pro license.
Kirk McKusick gives a great ~45min talk called the history of BSD at conferences. There are essentially 3 versions (one about the lawsuit, one about the TCP wars with BBN, and one about the early history), and he asks the audience to vote on which version they want to hear. Search for Kirk McKusick history of BSD on YouTube, or come to a BSD conference to hear it.

And I'd recommend coming to a conference, just so you can talk to Kirk. He's one of the most down to earth, friendly and just generally nice luminaries I've ever talked to in person.
Reminds me of the proposal to flood the Qattara sea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35957814
Is this sarcasm?

There's a lot of precedent for people living lives mostly on bike, where I live in the Northeast US the car ownership rate is about 50% among my peer group. I own a car but find it easier to do most errands by bike.

I suspect that there are other issues with your environment that prevent people from successfully using cycling as a normal transit mode, assuming you're from the US or Canada, it's likely that distances are too great, or that despite bike lanes, common trips require biking along highway speed traffic.
> What’s embarrassing here for the US is that they have to basically force the aid in. They don’t seem willing to use their full leverage to let the aid in the normal way

This is part of the US exercising its "full leverage". Demonstrating that obstruction is ultimately futile is a component of leverage.
Objectively, is this good, bad or no-impact?
Yes, this is the case for images uploaded through GitHub comments, I think.
This works seamlessly on Windows. My 1920×1080 15.6-inch laptop display is at 125%, and my 3840×2160 27-inch monitor is at 175%. Move a window between both, and the size automatically snaps to whichever monitor contains more than 50% of the window.
> Personally, if I heard business owners saying over and over that bike lanes were hurting their sales, I would assume they knew something that was not captured in studies.

I live in SF a few blocks from a very controversial new bike lane. The business owners hate it. It came at a time of economic change, with inflation and layoffs etc, so there’s a lot of pressure on small businesses city-wide. The city has said sales data for that neighborhood has dropped less than the city-wide average, and has shown to be more resilient.

I was out getting coffee and overheard someone complain to a business owner about the “bike lane bad” sign. The owner repeatedly said it was bad for business, but couldn’t give an example. It was pretty heated until eventually the owner capitulated and said it was harder for him to park near his work. That was it. He wanted to park closer to work, it had no business outcomes.

Another example of a business very publicly complaining that the bike lane was killing their business was interviewed in the press. In this interview the business owner admitted he struggled to afford the loans to repair his bar after flooding (pre bike lane flooding). The business was already collapsing, and he admitted he didn’t think many people drove and parked at his bar.

The only examples I believe are the furniture and appliance stores. Bikers probably don’t pick up and shop for those items as much as car drivers. But of course I have no data.
Why do you assume people aren't behaving rationally?

Even construction of roads takes years--public transit takes longer. Everybody present suffers the effects of the construction for benefits that may or may not materialize in a reasonable timeframe.

As for bike infrastructure, the fundamental problem is that you cannot share car and bike infrastructure. Bikes are simply too vulnerable to cars. That means that bike infrastructure needs to be separated which, by definition, takes space away from cars. If you have a new development, you can do that since nobody has an expectation. However, if you take something away and make life more irritating for people, they're going to naturally complain. Loudly.

Finally, public transit doesn't do any good until it hits a critical mass. Modern cities don't always help that--most US cities don't have a core that everybody works in--where people work is smeared out across a geographic area. You have to reverse that, but those same people are also the people that don't want to commute anyway and want to work from home so you lose a lot of possible users of your system.
Secrets of the Javascript Ninja is my favorite JS book by far.
The F-35 is better and cheaper than Gripen or Rafale. Everyone who can buy F-35 is doing so. There were countries that switched when allowed to buy F-35.

The Gripen's problem is that it is expensive for a light fighter. The other problem is that uses an American engine and US can control export. There aren't many countries that can't buy F-35 but can buy Gripen. Brazil is the big one.

The French Rafale is having more success because it isn't export limited. It is better than Gripen and same price.
> Israel is a essentially satellite of the US.

Its not, though, and if it were, this wouldn't be necessary.
I was confused by a bunch of Reddit posts asking, "what software should I run on my M5?" M5Stack is a development system, why are people asking what software to load onto it?

Then I discovered that there's a Flipper clone that runs on an M5 Stick and it's become popular among whatever the script kiddie crowd is calling themselves these days.
I hope you're not one of those people who get angry when they're stuck behind me on a 35mph road without a shoulder or a bike lane.
Bold statement with no evidence. I can assure you that they're well used in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville during the winter months as well as summer.

Your prior comment literally says ‘ any number > 0 when counting deaths because of a company's malfeasance, incompetence, or any other word to describe it is serious’. You say that same type of statement multiple times, using >0 every time. Instead of, perhaps, >=.

There were zero fatalities in this incident. I personally thought it was serious, but less serious than incidents which have fatalities.

Are we agreeing? Who is confused here? Am I a psychopath?
I had similar concerns so I at least moved my email to Fastmail and then set up a google account tied to it instead of Gmail. When you create the google account, you can just choose to use an existing email address (see https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441?hl=en#exist...).

Also, with fastmail if you use your own domain you can have any email address automatically forwarded to the same box. So, if your gmail account for "me@mydomain.com" gets shut down you can start a new one with "myself@mydomain.com" and you will still have access to all your customer service emails and info that may have been sent in the past. Any other provider should do, but I have liked fastmail a lot.

SSO + Gmail at the same provider = risk of permanent loss of access.
>it seems to me that the US gains very little from being in NATO.

So far Europeans died in USA conflicts around the world , how many conflicts did Europe start and USA had to get involved so far ?

From me a Romanian, feels very shitty that our soldiers died in Iraq and Afghanistan for America but now if we will need help Trumpists will not help back.
I'm a cyclist and totally on board with this way of thinking. But this is simply not believable, and I'd like to see what confounding factors were at play:

> In 2013, a researcher at the University of Washington named Kyle Rowe looked at two shopping districts in Seattle that got put on road diets. Rowe compared sales taxes in these “Neighborhood Business Districts” with those in similar districts in the city that didn’t get bike lanes. In one NBD, which replaced car lanes and three parking spots with two bike lanes, sales closely tracked those in the bike-less areas, both in peaks and troughs. Conclusion: Bike lanes did nothing to reduce business. And in the other NBD, which replaced 12 parking spaces with a bike lane, sales quadrupled
Don't get me wrong, they are likely doing the same thing that many other subscriptions do. Hoping you sign up and you forget that you have it and they just bring in the money.

But if you know you are going to use it (like maybe you already take a regular trip to a printer), you know how much you are going to print, it isnt horrible.

Sure being locked in for 2 years sucks, but given they are sending you hardware some sort of contract is likely required.
while it all sounds buzzwordy, as an chip industry outsider, none of it seems to make much sense.. is there an ELI5 version of this?
What really disappoints me is the lack of creativity in generating revenue by providing the customer value. It's a sad state when a technology company can only do "Look what this other industry did; we should do it too!" It's obviously a pathetic sad ploy by someone who isn't good enough at reading their market demographic to come up with something better.

I put this in the same category as Wendy's attempting "surge" pricing to make more money during busy times. I really can't imagine wanting to pay extra for a basic hamburger that the drugged out employees can't seem to get right even on the best of days. Make something better, and I'll pay more.
If Trump withdraws the US from NATO going back to the old ways is not an option, at least EU doesn't want to lose its Eastern half to Russia.
An anecdote about the maps: When Swedish diplomats were meeting with members of congress before the vote to convince them to admit Sweden they just brought a map. Literally just "here is a map of the baltic sea, this is why you should let us in". And it worked.
The principle is interdependency, but in practice many European militaries don't have a ton to give. Since the cold war ended, many just sort of coasted on military spending.

Of course, since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, that's changed for a lot of them. There's renewed interest in taking the defense budget seriously.
