I don't think it's that simple. I would never have expected micro transactions to take of. For the same reason that you mention. People really can't be that stupid right? Paying multiple times for a product and being willingly milked for their money? And yet this practice is totally normal now. Look at the horse armor memes from the elder scroll oblivion days.

It's like when, as a European user, you go to a website that's called something like Idaho Gazette because you follow a HN link and after seven years they still block you but tell you how important you are to them.

If they login to your password manager in a remote location, from their own device, they can't get to your TOTPs if you store them separately in an app on your phone.

This is just wrong. My Authy is locked with separate pincode+FaceID and has been for years.

And in general, if they are in your physical phone (presumably because they know your pincode), they can wreak all sorts of havoc already. They can add themselves as an alternative recovery e-mail to your Apple ID / Google account. Perhaps they can even disable TOTP 2FA via SMS, although I am not to certain of that.

IMO the long acting drugs + more intensive caseworker intervention is the most feasible way for the very difficult to work with individuals. (Long acting is good for opioids as well, https://healthandjusticejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/1...).

So there is a mixture of types of homeless -- some of the examples Scott gets into for "draconian" are for what I would call transient/short-term -- those folks some welfare type intervention (housing vouchers, cash) to smooth over their instability is all they need. Those are not the homeless people are complaining about!

The "pollution" homeless though Scott is mostly talking about are the people who cause public disorder. And those are very hard to deal with. So everything will be difficult, but I think caseworkers being able to help them as much as possible is IMO the best approach I've seen work in some cases.

> Previous research has shown that Xandr collects hundreds of sensitive profiles of Europeans containing information about their health, sex life or sexual orientation, political or philosophical opinions, religious beliefs or financial status. Specific segments include things like ‘french_disability’, ‘pregnant’, ‘lgbt’, ‘gender_equality’ and ‘jewishfrench’.

I don't read German (which I think the justifying article is written in) - is this linking directly to personally identifiable information? If I have an ID in a cookie that links to these groupings, it is not necessarily the same as a GDPR breach.

Top 6 TikTok Giveaway Picker Tools
That's a reasonable proposition, but I think it comes down to your individual circumstances, frequency of need, and tolerance of inconvenience.

For people who have an office or home where a printer won't take up valuable space or look out of place, use it semi-frequently (let's say a few times per week or month), and might have to deal with the occasional urgent case, owning a $100 printer is a small price to pay to avoid having to spend an hour visiting the library (depending on distance of course) every time you need to perform 30 seconds worth of printing.

For a bit more money, you can get a multi-function printer with a built in duplex scanner and document feeder, which actually helps with running a paper-free environment. I have one of those sitting on my desk. Every piece of mail that arrives goes first into the scanner and then into the recycling bin, and avoiding trips to the library for printing is an added bonus.
I have skied in USA, Sweden, Norway, Austria, France, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland, Italy and Canada, and honestly only a small percentage of people actually know how to carve. The exceptions are mostly the kids/adults that have done racing or the intermediate ski instructors.

The truth is that carving technique is just very difficult and more importantly counter intuitive and thus people simply do not learn it on their own as they stop doing ski lessons once they can skid steer, as to many they think this is the same as carving.

Of course it's a not a proof of "P=NP", but no one is asking for it.

Yes. This function is still computable though. The question of computability doesn't depend on humans being able to evaluate this function on a given day in history.
I can't know what's correct there, but I don't need to. Ultimately it comes down to was it a success or not, for a company this basically means does it exist and is it profitable. In the alternate universe where things are done differently it could be better or worse. My main point is that whether it's the right or wrong stubborn depends on your point of view. Now Paul Graham has been very successful in business, but even there you might have different businesses. People took different approaches and were still successful. And business is just a narrow part of life. So what's bothering me here is that there are broad generalizations that in most cases come down to your point of view. This could ironically be interpreted as the wrong kind of stubborn.

And that Mr. Junker dares to say this in the open shows the root of the issue - politicians are no longer afraid of their constituents just as corporations are no longer afraid of their customers.

I think I see the confusion. If my google-fu is correct, modern Lightroom doesn't store this data in XMP files by default, but instead internally in the catalog (with a settings toggle if you want to use files instead).

Dyson to cut a quarter of UK workforce
One person's convenient is another person's inconvenient. For me, a trip to the library means dealing with awkward opening hours and a 35 minute round trip on foot, or 10 minutes by car with a fight for a parking space plus a parking charge and petrol. Printing at home means pressing a button and waiting 30 seconds. I can even do it on a Sunday or at 8am or 7pm if I want to. There's no comparison.
Launching an attack on the authors of the article rather than joining the discussion about the topic appears to be a diversionary tactic.

That's the kind of thing that the West did to become the dominant powers in the current world. It's easy to mistake the current system as having been responsible for that. Once you're at the top, you can afford yourself the luxury of acting morally, I suppose, as long as you're the one defining morality... and only while doing that does not go against your "security" or somtimes, making a few bucks, of course.
Sometimes to do something great, you need to give up your failed project to start over with something that have a chance to work.

> What I find extremely annoying is that no one is charge saw this coming. How stupid do you need to be to release an online-only subscription laser printer?

Believe it or not, a lot of large organisations opt into systems like this. A cloud-based print queue lets you tie printing to your single-sign-on system, bill each print to the right department, and simplify sending the print to the right printer.

If you can have a third party deal with all the routine maintenance and toner orders and whatnot, so you just get billed $0.10 per page with everything taken care of, that's one less thing to worry about.

With that said, I can well believe this specific HP product would be a deceptively marketed, overpriced, locked down piece of shit. Inkjet printers have been that way for decades, after all.

The suggestion to use AR glasses with this keyboard computer feels very Ghost-in-the-Shell cyberpunk to me. Stepping onto a train and you find some guy with glasses sitting near the train door staring blankly at other passengers while typing furiously on the keyboard. Looks a bit creepy.

An app absolutely can track more data than a website. You don't have the website open/active on your phone at all times, but you have the app installed at all times, even when it's not running.

You do know that apps can record data in the background, right?

A website is also sandboxed by your browser in a much stricter manner than an app is on your phone, at least by default.

I don't have specific information on the Ticketmaster app here, but to say that an app is the same as website from a tracking perspective on a phone is absurd.

This is a serious problem in Hungary. Orbán has introduced a similar program called CSOK in 2015. It was sold with the usual rightist demagogue rhetoric about "family and home". The system allows people who promise to have a child to take up a 15 million HUF (about 41k USD) loan with extremely favorable conditions. If you promise 2 children you get 30 million, for 3 you get 50, and the government pays 10 million of your loan for each "extra" child eg. you promise 2 children, take up a loan for 30 million, and when your second child is born, the government pays you 10 mil.

It lead to an insane price hike on the housing market, prices have increased 3x in the past 10 years. There are many children born to irresponsible and useless parents who only wanted money. Entire generations of children who were not wanted.

Also notice how I said you only have to make a promise to make children. You dont have to have them already, a couple can have 0 children, sign up for the 30 million loan by promising 2 children. What happens if they break up? If they can't conceive? They have to pay back the loan in full after a time period.

Of course every time this deadline comes up, Orbán gracefully "extends" it, or changes it in some ways so that the irresponsible people don't have to cough up the money. They get added to all kinds of different taxes on banks, telecoms, multinational companies. I'm far from defending them, they are also terrible, but also all these extra costs just gets forwarded to the consumers.

It's a perfect way to enslave a ton of the irresponsible people. Orbán can keep moving this deadline and threaten the masses with "if I ever get voted out, you will have to pay all of that back".

I understand that this is only partially on Orbán, and mostly on all the people taking out these loans without thinking, but the average person is dumb as fuck. Shrewd politicians will always find a way to control them. I wish we had better education so people would plan a bit further ahead and not gamble on their unborn children.
