Try Estonia. 0% corporate income tax, 20% on dividends,
Something like 30% employment tax on employees within Estonia.

So register your business in Estonia, operate outside where you can grow as much as you want without being taxed, then take dividends when you're ready. Estonia has an e-residency program which lets foreign citizens form businesses within Estonia easily.
The off-the-shelf standard library solutions to #2 are Rc<RefCell<T>> (single threaded) and Arc<Mutex<T>> (multi-threaded). Those aren't super high performance, and they're a little verbose, but they usually satisfy the borrow checker.
On the contrary, you shouldn't feel sad but rather excited. So many people have a false expectation that they must build everything as a SPA, even with all of the glaring UX problems that the SPA model presents.

You should be excited because if you're building a CRUD application that doesn't need to be a SPA, and you choose the traditional server-rendered route... your app is going to be better than the equivalent SPA hog. Your app is going to be better, users will feel that it's better, and they'll give you their money.

Oh, and you don't have to re-invent the wheel with things like routing, so you are saving a lot of development time that the SPA competitor wastes on. Another win for you and your customers, more time to work on features.
Presumably, this is the premise behind T0 [1] in that it would allow beneficial owners, instead of brokers, to be able to lend their securities to short-sellers. In that case, there is no problem of tracking ownership - if you lend your shares to the short-seller, you're no longer the beneficial owner, and any agreement, like paying of dividend, has to be worked out between the two parties without involving a broker.

> What stops someone from shorting and then buying the shares (likely through an intermediary) in order to gain votes.

i don't think anything stops you, but you're going to eat the whole bid/ask spread when you're acquiring these extra shares, then again when you exit the position, plus margin maintenance costs. your plan also assumes that your broker will let you get out the entire proceeds of a unclosed short sale fast enough to get them over to another broker to buy more shares before the market can really move on you.

if your broker will even let you short whatever number of shares you want to do this with, they'll probably just lend you the cash to go long that many shares. which would be a lot easier.
This is also a firm that basically consists of agile priests and people who (I assume) like experimenting with organization and management.

Even if you can technically walk to something, a person can have a disability such that it is impossible for them to do that. Encouraging them to ditch their car is stupid without giving them an alternative. A grocery delivery service really isn't an alternative because they suck: do you want squished and spoiled vegetables and broken eggs? It's basically only good for dry and pre-packaged frozen foods. So now instead of driving once a week to go to the store and eat healthy foods, we microwave the TV dinners that the Amazon drone flys to us every day. Hooray?

* W3Counter: I started "Website Goodies" as a content and tools site for webmasters in the 1990s. It had articles about learning HTML, learning JavaScript, and basically whatever else I myself was learning at the time back then. It also had a tools page, with things like guestbooks and surveys and a website hit counter I hosted. They were initially Perl CGI scripts, then later rewritten in PHP when I learned that. The traffic all came from search engines and organic links. The counter was pretty popular, and I wanted better web stats for my own sites without paying for them -- this was before Google bought Urchin and made Google Analytics out of it, when good web stats still cost money. So I made W3Counter, and linked to it heavily from Website Goodies, which got it off the ground. 100% word of mouth since then, I've never advertised it.

* Improvely got its first customers from Google ads. Because Improvely has a high CLV (customer lifetime value), I could spend a lot on advertising to acquire a customer and still make money from it. So that's what I did. Once I had a couple dozen customers, who were all delighted with the product and the support, word of mouth started taking over. These days 90% of new signups are referrals from an existing/past customer, or referrals from some website that's written an article or review mentioning Improvely. I still run some Google ads but with a limited budget.

* The open source projects get their traffic from Stack Overflow, forums, people searching NPM and other repositories, etc. The Date Range Picker widget got its initial traffic from a "Show HN" post I did here.

I've started other SaaS apps that never worked out. The thing that made them different from Improvely and W3Counter is that nobody was super excited about them. Nobody loved those products; they were maybe useful but not the best at anything and not particularly unique. So the word of mouth referrals never came, churn was high, and eventually I shut them down and tried something else.
The difference is that in the case of Gmail, monetisation is though ads and in the case of compute engine or storage the monetisation is through client payments.

If Google, Microsoft or other companies start to look at the data to exploit it hey will lose trust, the customers and the data.

There's nothing particularly "free" about being compelled by majority vote to sell your shares at a price you don't agree to either. But, like executives' fidicuary duty not to act against the interests of their shareholders before mounting a takeover bid, it's baked into the rules of the market that shareholders and executives have freely chosen to participate in.

If you don't accept that in the interests of better functioning markets the law allows for both compulsory purchase of outstanding shares in the event of a successful takeover bid and litigation against those accused of ripping shareholders off by running down the value of the company before bidding on it, the principles of free market capitalism allow you to not even think of buying or managing a publicly owned company.

This is office politics. If employee value to a company isn't immediately identifiable and measurable outside of "hours with butt in chair" then said company is incapable of properly valuing its employees (the exception being a company that just wants to bill hours for a "butt in a chair"). It means the entire process is based entirely on individual perception. This leads to its own set of problems where individuals game the system to be perceived as harder working but in reality may actually be doing less work or a larger amount of trivial "busy" work. This is a failure and will only lead to a culture of resentment and game playing within the company.

Static sites sit on a large spectrum from very simple to very complex. The nice thing about React is it works very well on very simple sites as well as very complex sites. So yes, for a very simple 5-10 pages site, using React might seem silly but for a site with complex theming and lots of clientside JS, using React makes things a ton easier.

> For people like me, if writing trivial data-structures in Rust is a great challenge, it shows that writing other, less trivial things in Rust will be much more challenging than might be preferred.

And this is the real issue, because your assumption doesn't really have any real basis. I don't mean to belittle your point, I can completely understand where you're coming from, but assuming that because writing data structures in Rust is hard, that "real" problems will be difficult as well, is wrong. There's nothing to back this up. Data structures are a very specific domain, often very far away from what you'll be doing in the average "real" program. There's a reason common data structures are often implemented and included in the stdlib of most languages.

What I find is that it's more common that writing data structures in other languages is easy, because most of the time, people aren't implementing them correctly, or safely. 99% of the linked lists I see in C++ fail to even implement the copy constructor, meaning they're going to be broken the moment you do a copy of the list.

Toronto seems to be a city that never got around to planning a transportation system for it's massive growth. Every time I visit I'm surprised by how much further the skyscrapers creep down the QEW towards Hamilton. Even the suburban hubs like Mississauga have bigger downtowns than many North American cities.

But the transit system seems to be built for a Toronto half the size. In between the hubs of density are miles of big box plazas, McMansions and 10 lane roads with neverending traffic jams. Downtown exploded while the subways and Gardiner choked. In the race to develop it seems no one was looking at the big picture of how all this growth was going to interact.

I've heard of the regional transport plan, The Big Move - curious to see how this affects the GTA in the next decade.

> "The vast majority of random mutations are harmful."

- You sure they aren't "neutral"?

> "The number of random mutations necessary to produce one lung cell that is better adapted to smoke inhalation is large enough that the entire remainder of the lung already has carcinogenic mutations."

- No, in principle it can be a single point mutation to a promoter that increases affinity for a transcription factor.

> "Sexual reproduction is a mechanism to eliminate harmful mutations without discarding the occasional beneficial mutation."

- So are apotosis and immune surveillance.

> "Humans are now technically capable of identifying a potentially beneficial genetic mutation, and inserting it into an unrelated person's genome."

- No, they aren't. They modify and select cells in a dish, not in a person.

> "It is, however, more likely that the protein result of the mutation will be used to research and develop a pharmaceutical drug or medical procedure that replicates the beneficial effects of the mutation."

- Ok, I am just including this for completeness sake.

> "In short, the probability of you spontaneously developing an adaptive mutation in a non-germline cell is absolutely infinitesimal in comparison to the probability that someone in the last 10000 generations of your ancestors developed such a mutation when producing a sperm or egg cell and passed it along to you."

- You are talking of 10^4 fertilized eggs vs 10^13 cells in my body[1]. I'm not sure how many divisions it is from egg to egg, but it has to be less than the 10^16 supposed to happen during the human life span[2].

Actually I am pretty sure I have read somewhere that the human body probably contains at least one cell that has a mutation at any given bp. I will see if there is time to find it later.

I worked at a defense contractor in Utah that, at the time, had close to 4k employees. Needless to say, this business consisted of massive warrens of cubicles. I was employee #3 in a new Ux/Human Factors group and the first thing that we did was collaborate with Facilities group to design an open workspace where a joint team of Ux and programmers would work to build customer-facing software products. I had spent much of my grad school working on designing team-based workspaces on behalf Herman Miller and Steelcase during the 1990s, so this was a great way to incubate some of those ideas.

We designed several of these workspaces with both personal and shared work areas, including tables for lunch activities (mainly speed chess) and meetings. There were a lot of marker boards and everyone had double the desk space than they had in their cubicles. Both projects were huge successes and still in use to this day.

Here are a few of my observations:

1) Facilities was NOT on board but we had the managerial support to push the project through.
2) The first six months was like being in a fish tank. People constantly stopped by to observe us and ask questions.
3) Similar open-offices started popping up throughout the organization.
4) Some of them failed.
5) Ours did not.

I think that some of reasons that we could be effective in an open-office as a group of cats and dogs (designers and engineers/programmers) were as follows:

1) We only recruited talent that was willing and able to perform in this environment
2) We respected the desire of team members that didn't want to work in this environment, but we kept them close
3) There was nearby private space that could be checked out as needed
4) We got to design the space
5) We were not crammed together and there was implied privacy. For example, nobody every faced another person. We had portable markers boards that could be used as impromptu dividers, and if someone had headphones on, that was a pretty good sign that they were not to be bothered.
6) Nobody dictated how we were to use the space at a group or individual level
7) There was trust
8) We were able to design, develop and iterate faster due to being in close proximity. The intimacy of the workspace worked well with our daily scrums and short design/development cycles. In the previous model, teams were often not colocated and it wasn't uncommon to jump on shuttles and bicycles to get to meetings.

tl;dr

The space was designed by its voluntary occupants and it improved the effectiveness of the team and the end-products as a result.
