The limited liability of corporations is not absolute. See, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil

And specifically, for US corporate law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil#Un...

This article notes:

"In the United States, corporate veil piercing is the most litigated issue in corporate law. Although courts are reluctant to hold an active shareholder liable for actions that are legally the responsibility of the corporation, even if the corporation has a single shareholder, they will often do so if the corporation was markedly noncompliant, or if holding only the corporation liable would be singularly unfair to the plaintiff. In most jurisdictions, no bright-line rule exists and the ruling is based on common law precedents."

Thus, before spending a lot of effort on setting up two LLCs, you should probably talk to a lawyer to see if this would give you any added protection in your situation.
Yep, it could also be a great way to lower the cost of living in already over populated cities. People living in smaller localities and close to work would also diminish commute times - lowering carbon emissions.

I wonder how costly a fiber "plant" is? What's stopping the US from a "roll out the fiber" New Deal-style project?
I really wish the bean was cheaper too. $30 seems absurd for that thing (even though I love it).
What you're selling in a YC applicationo is not so much an idea but the ability to execute.

I would suggest that 'the what' should address those questions. Without doing so, 'the what' is probably less convincing.

In terms of language, I would remove all the "could" and be more concrete about plans.

In terms of structure, I would simplify the causal chains down to a few concrete steps.
That is indeed a useful extensions, especially for those websites that tend to forget when I setup "open in new tab"
"where most database loads in the world can be handled on a single machine"

I don't think it works like that. There is always some point when at certain number of users avoiding downtime becomes more important, than handling a load and hardware performance stops matter as much.

I'm telling you that people with severe pain need treatment for that pain, but also that if the pain is long term that treatment is probably not opioid meds.

People with real pain sometimes should not be given opioids.

Your suggestion (that the problem is fixed if we stop giving opioids to people who aren't in pain) misses the fact that most of the opioid problem is because people in real actual pain have been misprescribed opioids.
The voices in my head sometimes talk over each other ;)
>However, consider the alternatives: Move out to unincorporated land, build your 5 acre dream home, swimming pools, tennis courts, etc. Watch as a dump and trailer park open next door...consider what your options are.

Plenty of incorporated land in the US without HOAs. While some parts of the country can't seem to exist without them, much of the country (including where you have really nice homes) do not have them. No trailer parks next door - they can't afford the land.
Private chains don't depend on PoW.
As I've said separately, I believe BRK's float is over-rated. It's just a loan and only a small part of their capital base.

But your focus on the "powerhouse five" over See's Candy's is backwards. The powerhouse 5 are all very new acquisitions, and were purchased in part because See's candies was so amazingly successful as an investment.

In 2011, Buffett said that See's had directly earned $1.65B for Berkshire since it's acquisition. Those earnings were reinvested in Berkshire, so over the years they've probably added as much as $10B to Berkshire's value. That's enough to have enabled the purchase of one of the "power house 5" by itself.
You speak of money trails as though there were anything to choose in that regard between those candidates who made it to the general.

You also speak as though the party you credit with social support et cetera were not also the party of "free trade", i.e. globalization. Perhaps you'll be the first to explain coherently, and in a fashion which accords with reality, how their very successful efforts in such regard have materially benefited rural Americans.

I'm not proud of what I did on November 8. I'd have been proud to vote for Sanders in the general, as I did in the primary. But, thanks to the machinations of the DNC leadership, that option was denied me, and I faced - all Americans faced - the worst choice that last year's party primary process could possibly have left us with. I took the option less incompatible with maintaining my own self-respect, and I'm still not wholly reconciled to that decision even though I could not possibly have brought myself to do otherwise.

I live in Maryland, so of course my state's electors went to Clinton. I suppose therefore that I could, if I so chose, deny responsibility for whatever outcome a Trump presidency may have, and leverage the left's own arguments against the electoral college to do so. I won't, though, because the responsibility for, and the consequences of, my unforced actions are also mine.

I can't "own the problem", as you so facilely counsel. Problems like these are far too large for that, and I think that's a big part of why they tend to prove so intractable. I did what I still regard as the least worst thing I could do under the circumstances. That I do own. But every circumstance has its antecedents, which make possible that it occur. The circumstance of having to choose between Clinton and Trump is no different. And I think there's a lot of ownership, for the actions which brought that about, yet lacking.

Speaking as a native Georgian who got an excellent public school education, undergraduate and post-graduate education at Georgia universities, you really have no idea what you are talking about. I am not a Christian although I would say 90% of my neighbors were and you are completely missing the mark in analyzing any of the problems the country or the South has. Your attitude is exactly what the parent comment is talking about.

I was in a small pilot program of 6 middle school students who were bussed to the high school to take advanced math. 3 of us ended up regularly using heroin before graduation. I have a lot of good explanations for this having watched them descend and none of them line up with reduced education, social services, or ignorant Bible-thumpers.

Short answer: end the phenomena of latchkey kids. The main difference in the kids who flourished and moved up in their lives and those who floundered was the presence of a stay-at-home parent in addition to one with a steady income that supported the family. The main difference in the good and bad school districts in my area were the number of full time parents that were available to participate in the school, extra-curricular activities, and parent-teacher organizations. Failing that (because the two income family is seemingly required in many areas), line up the public school schedule with the parents' work and commute schedules.

For some context, here's an award winning documentary about a high school in an adjacent county having a massive syphilis outbreak while I was in school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yux7hVgDPa8
Super cool! But that's not knitting, and the circle isn't what most would consider to be a loom, either.

EDIT: Ok, it's a knitting loom (not a weaving loom), but the artist still isn't "knitting" using it.
Blockrandbebauung. I don't know a name for the opposite though, parallel lines on an open lawn. The latter wouldn't even be so bad of it wasn't usually scaled out of proportion. One of the earliest examples is also in Berlin ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Großsiedlung_Siemensstadt ) and it's actually quite nice. But it is incompatible with ground floor business, a key element of gentrification in cities that are not New York or London (but I guess in this case, being an UNESCO world heritage site wasn't too bad of a substitute, again something you can't just pot into the design specification of a new development).
Is it possible for city folk to propose solutions that respect rural folks obviously deep desire for 'Jesus'? The only thing city folk have accomplished in giving rural folk is gay marriage and illegal immigrants, neither of which they wanted or needed.
Lock-in freaks will crumble gradually. The times of balkanized graphics will be in the past, same way as happened with the Web. And the slogan of "industry does it that way" is irrelevant. Luckily the industry is now changing for the better. Expect further change.
Cool, but I linked to a review of many papers, including systematic reviews.

Your single study is going to have to be remarkable to persuade me over that.
Free market and competition in health care, really?

Delivering the same level of care and services for everyone is at odds with the notion of a free market. How exactly are providers to compete, over the long-term, when everyone demands the same level of care at the same cost or better?
There are different ways to limit who can write to a chain at the current time to reduce overhead. PoW is just the most popular(are arguably the best for public chains). Private chains don't need that since you know all the participants you can do something as simple as round robin.
That example timelapse is really cool! Great idea.
HOA's exist because they work out financially better than the alternatives

Of course financially they work out better than the alternatives, a bunch of volunteer obsessives straight out of Wikipedia is cheaper than an array of trained bureaucrats following due process.

Some people won't go near Wikipedia and HOAs. It's a quality of life issue as well. It starts with the architectural regulations, which are always 10 years behind the current fashion, and continues with the position of your basketball hoop. You hear the HOA apologists talk as if towns didn't manage to get on top of nuisance properties.

HOA. All the oppression of government, and none of the due process.

The US is still far and away the leading prescriber of opioid medication, so to call it "narcophobia" is alarmist nonsense.

Remember kids, "lock-free", does not always mean faster, it just means lock free.

Example: Lock-free linked lists are great spiky write consistent read situations, but in high-write situations they probably aren't any better than locked linked lists.
Non-profit entity is not the same as "charity". Most of the large non-profits operate on a percentage of the interest earned on a large endowment. It's essentially a scam for the very rich and the banks. If the purpose of the entity were truly to benefit the needy, then they would operate directly on donations and not withhold so much funding from those in need.

I specifically discussed sellers who are on the margin. While it can be difficult to know exactly how many of these are, I'm willing to bet this would result in a very real and measurable reduction in investment opportunity for Berkshire. If it were 10 businesses in a year at Buffet's stated minimum of $10 million annual net profit, then that would represent $80 million in annual revenue for Berkshire.

In the world of big business, famous personalities, and politics, my position is to assume the worst case scenario, which is that the only reason someone like Buffet supports the death tax is because he profits from it. In this case, it is not a coincidence.
You can intersperse the vowels and the letters w, h, y anywhere you like.
This is an outstanding comment. Few people understand what Buffet and Munger mean when they discuss "moat" and even fewer understand the importance of cost of capital in BK's investment successes.

It may be possible to build a BK of the internet but it's not easy to imagine how.
The U.2 form factor has had no trouble catching on in the datacenter, which is where these first Optane SSDs are intended to be used. Intel is also offering standard half-height half-length add-in cards, and M.2 is simply too small to accommodate much 3D XPoint memory.
> And why is this even a concern for a game started in 2011? It's mind boggling that they are making these kind of decisions 6 years into development, surely just finishing the damn gameplay should be the focus?

That would force them to show the results of the effort and the $texas-sized dollars contributed. As long as they can keep pointing to "well, we had to make a major architectural change.." they can continue pushing the idea that they'll deliver.

The moats in tech are mostly around IP and hardware, look at Apple, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia and AMD. The larger ones have a moat complemented by a warchest for acquisition and lawsuits.
You could charge money for the app. If your app doesn't require lots of people to be on it, then selling it might be the best bet. Then your app is only used by people who really want it. This gives you less support time and a user base that's really enthusiastic about what you have.

I wouldn't comment except that the OP's comment history here is also highly critical, so: they already posted this like 8 months ago. It's also not knitting as most people understand the term. I mean, it's kinda neat, but the title here is misleading, and it's the second time they've used it. Promotional?

Yes I wore a wristwatch every day purely out of habit for most of my life, until a few years ago when I realized it was pointless and uncomfortable so I quit. Now I only wear one on rare occasions as a fashion accessory.
The problem is places like support forms. If you go to my site, click on "contact us" and fill in your message and email, you did not directly email me, as per boxbe. So if I honestly try to reply to you, I'll be forced to waste my time? You better believe you'll never get a reply then.

So to reply to your "if people aren't willing to complete a captcha to send me an email, that email is probably not so important for them.". No. Replying to your request isn't that important to me. It probably was to you though....

Your description sounds like who I might be later in my career and I am pleased to have read about your path. I have also positioned myself inside a research role as someone who can communicate across disciplines. I am frequently the only manager who avoids abstracting significant dev work into magic and that seems to be appreciated by our developers.
I like it as well although I can see there would be times when you might want to be explicit.
Oh, I have been fantasizing about a similar thing for about a decade! Currently my "account manager" is either an e-mail folder (I save the welcome e-mails), or my Facebook/Google account (the "authorized apps" page), and this is far from ideal.

I also wish I could sign up for new websites/services using such a manager. If it already had all my personal info, it would take just one click to sign up. And maybe selecting which personal details I would like to disclose with the website.

Er, privacy? From what you're describing it sounds like you'd be building a giant public database of users' browsing habits, which should raise some eyebrows.

The fact that it's structured as a blockchain makes it worse, as there's no way to age out data.
My mother, who was a gardener/landscaper, kept an untreated yard when I was a child (and still does). I always enjoyed the non-uniformity and fullness of it, in addition to the seasonality. While some neighbours' grass lawns would develop bald patches or dead grass in spots where light and water were not ideal, we would just have a different mix of plants ("weeds") in those areas. Under our trees we would get more shade-loving plants, for example. Every niche is filled in by nature.
That's what comes to mind every time someone brings up Linus' comments from way back when. If SHA-1 is insecure, then there is no way to have security. Forge an object, and GPG sign its commit, and you have broken the apparent security GPG signing was meant to bring. If SHA-1 was not meant for security, then security must have been a non-goal of Git.

The comments are brought up usually to explain why Linus didn't think much of it at the time, whereas they actually demonstrate the shift of thinking around what Git is meant to provide. Security is definitely a goal now, and the hash function is the critical piece of security infrastructure.

I've been attempting to monetise my Google Chrome Extension for the last few months ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12925467 ). I felt I could never inject ads to my extension as I never had a sensible place to put them.

Instead I've been experimenting a lot with one off & subscription approaches, here are two things I noticed:

1. When I had a subscription model, most users would sign up & almost instantly cancel their subscription (though very few ever requested a refund).

2. Adjusting the one off price didn't change the monthly revenue. For example when I changed the price from $7.99 to $10, the sales decreased a little but at the end of the month I ended up earning about the same.

Yes, true. Correct. That is still true, and applies to SHA-2 as well. And Linus was aware of exactly what you say, back in 2005.

My point was that the choice that was made was considered good enough for the purposes for which it was intended. In the context of the OP's comment, criticizing git for not making different code design choices doesn't mean that Linus was wrong, it may mean that the OP doesn't know and/or understand all the considerations Linus had. And Linus has said many times that the security of the hash is not the primary consideration in his design.

Git's choice of SHA-1 was not at the time predicated on having the single most unbreakable hash in existence, the hash's use is not for security purposes, and to talk with such incredulity about Linus' choice may be to misunderstand git's design requirements.
Thanks. 6AM in the table is 6AM where your location "A" is. This way, you can be in the Bay Area and query for commute times in New York, if you need to.

It prints:
Monday, 6am (target) is the same as following local time:
Mon Mar 27 2017 03:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)

Indeed, I'm in the Bay Area and I have to pass 3AM PDT to Google's API in order to get traffic for 6AM New York time. There might be a way to change the timezone with JS, but I didn't find it, so I'm just passing adjusted times from the local time zone.
Seriously... the hallmark of all the linear algebra classes I had was the instructor completely failing to demonstrate the various concepts in visual terms. And that's pretty unforgivable, since linear algebra feels like one of those subjects where, until you have some key components of it modeled in your head that serve to glue everything together, every new may as well be random words pulled from a foreign dictionary.
