... says the person hiding behind a throw-away account

>> or the amount because of which it ends.

a buck to print 15 pages a month on the customer's printer is a sweet deal for HP. It's pure profit and likely adds up. 6 months from now they'll bump it to $1.29 and some executive will get a multi-million dollar bonus.

well they were securing their future revenue streams, so accurate just not the reasonable interpretation.

toner cartridges last forever. I've only used 3-4 over the past 20 years, including the replacement stored for years after I bought it my printer because I assume they would pull that intro-cartridge horseshit but they didn't - they still won!

>> makes enough to afford renting a 1bed apartment in a good area

In most cities in the US this is not the definition of wealthy or even well off. living with roommates to save 10K a year does sound like one step above poverty.

"dismisses fears that the surcharge will drive companies out of the city, saying the tax is modest in comparison to the cost of moving a business."

...until it's not. Amazon has shown us there are lots of attractive jurisdictions ready to shower companies with tax incentives to relocate; SF feels like a city that's enjoyed the benefits of many factors not directly of their making and they could be in for a strict reckoning. We will see...

He's not exactly an engineering manager, but he's definitely part of that 1% who don't meet your rule, so it actually fits within the standard perspective.

I fear I will jinx my 20-yr-old hp 1200 laser jet that's on maybe it's 4(?) toner and hooked up to our home network via a parallel port to usb adapter. It's yellower than an 8-bit computer but still prints great and fast. One of my best tech purchases ever; I'm glad I resisted the lure of color inkjet and spent 3x much for a b&w laser.

Do you think agriculture hasn't moved into a post-industrial age? Modern farms are tightly integrated into a global supply chain from imputs to product and definitely need to work on the same standardized schedule as the rest of the world.

>> Only ~2% of the population are farmers, so even if they did all object the 98% wouldn't care and move forward anyway.

In Canada I think it's about 3% but they are a Very vocal political group and punch beyond their absolute numbers.

I think part of it may be that, if he's the (good kind of) hustler his friends state he is, he probably did a million things over that decade period which is really hard to translate into a narrative acceptable for an article like this. I'm in no way equating our situations other than I have ~10 year "consulting" period on my resume that includes probably 20-30 contracts, projects, a few jobs, etc. and it's really hard to break it down into a simple timeline to answer "what did you do from ...". That's my take.

This happens all the time in real sports. If you get caught cheating you often forfeit your legacy because everything you've done professionally is suspect, especially if you show a longer-running history of cheating or are caught multiple times.

I'm not sure how you can differentiate the punative nature of banning someone from all future tries because they had cheated indeterminately in the past, but not invalidating all their historical record outside of individiaul cases...

You'd think as a former opiate addict you might have a little more understanding and less emotionally negative response to something as mundane as shopping. If you feel this way about people who got to malls, how should I feel about junkies shooting up in my alley?

Google will need to learn what customer service is to get any traction in corporate land. I can get decent support from an actual person with a single MS subscription. With google for business we can't even get an email address.
