Hawaii and Puerto Rico and Germany and Korea would like a word. After them, we have some meetings scheduled with fruit companies but I can’t read the secretary’s handwriting so I may have that one wrong.

I like how you used west as a synonym for west. I mean mess. Damn, it’s catchy, Yog “Samuel Johnson” Thos. Chefs’ kiss.

Hang on, so Russia doesn’t get it’s intelligence from the world wide web?

Is there much advantage in 64-bit tech?

Good video. I like this guy. I think he hates Apple more than I do, but he has the know how to explain exactly why we should hate Apple.

Sounds like the tax duties trickled down, to be fair.

I’m unsure. It’s guess it were possible if for writing with the skills.

Not heard of EURion before. Maybe that answers the question above as to why is hard to 3D print a 2D printer.

This question is far beyond my expertise.

I’m not sure. It may be a condition for access to the rights to produce the parts for e.g. HP printers. Maybe it’s a dying market with phones, tablets, and e-readers?

Good luck with both projects 🙂

The journo-scammer complex.

Who do journalists write this kind of article for?

People with money aren’t getting their financial advice from newspapers. They pay accountants, lawyers, and financial advisers for that.

So this kind of story is for the segments of the proletariat and petite bourgeois who don’t have much but have enough to save for a rainy day.

Edit: spelling

I think there was a post around here a few weeks ago, saying Amazon had bought a medical company / facility.

I wouldn’t be surprised if your joke was close to the truth.

Most homeowners wouldn’t really suffer a ‘loss’ if the housing market crashed. Okay they would lose 10%, 20%, 30%, but their next place would be roughly the same percentage cheaper. If they essentially swap one house for another, they can still afford a roughly equivalent house, all things being equal.

Those who downsize or could have reaped the previous increase as cash (because it’s a second or third home that they did not need to live in) might lose out. Pity for the first group. Little sympathy for the latter.

Edit: meant to add: those single property homeowners would still find out they were effectively shafted by the bank for borrowing far more than their first house was worth. But people with mortgages are being shafted, anyway. One big factor in those inflated prices is the competition with buy-to-let landlords, who are financed by imperialist banks.

Something something capital reproducing a reserve army of labour.

I’ve seen a few similar posts recently (not a bad thing to be aware). Epson, HP…

Is it possible to 3D print a printer that can be topped up with any old liquid / inkjet ink. That might be popular. Beside the obvious privacy protection, such a printer could be easily maintained as broken parts could be replaced easily enough.

Seems there’s a gap in the infamous market.

I imagine one of the main problems is that the actual ‘printer’ end of such a machine will contain proprietary parts, possibly locked behind IP walls. So if these parts cannot be printed, they have to be bought, and big manufacturers can get their data by selling those parts.

It’s the same in law and the social sciences that I’m familiar with. It’s not improved. I would avoid Wikipedia if possible and recommend that any students avoid it, too.

If the only problem was that it was too, say, general, as in, misses out some details or nuances, that would be forgivable. More often than not, if you know the area well, you’ll see that Wikipedia is simply wrong.

Any undergrad paper that cites Wikipedia will be lucky to pass. Not because Wikipedia is cited per se, but because it’s usually incorrect. A paper that cites a Wikipedia article as a reliable source usually also contains other significant errors or omissions. If a paper relies on Wikipedia it is probably not relying on other, more appropriate sources, and if it did rely on those other sources, the author would have known not to cite Wikipedia.

Sounds good. I’d use caution with PDFs, though.

Maybe someone who knows more than me can explain better. My understanding is that PDFs can read data and send this to the creator.

Is there a way to make sure that readers do not send personal meta data to the security services? It would be a shame to undo the anonymity of lemmygrad by accident…

These the same bank bosses happy with increasing interest rates?

That looks horrendous!

They will sell this as saving the planet and ‘progressive’ liberals will go on more flights thinking they are combating climate change.

They will avoid trains for being too inefficient – too few travelers per carriage!
