From a business perspective, if you spend money on illiquid assets expecting to make a profit, say, short-term profit that doesn't materialize or will take longer than expected to materialize the business will still owe taxes on the value of those assets but you may not have the liquid cash to pay for those assets.

As an example, say your LLC buys a million dollars worth of round iPhone cases because you're 100% sure Apple is releasing a round iPhone before Christmas 2017. Apple comes out and says "sorry, we're pushing the release to Christmas 2018!"

Now, your company has 1m in assets, probably more by a fair market value of round iPhone cases because you expected to sell them for 10m, so now the value of your company has increased by some millions of dollars.

Now, say you bet 100% of your liquid cash on that (regardless of if that's a smart idea or not), how do you pay your tax bill?

You could liquidate your round iPhone cases to someone today, but, you'll lose a ton of money on them.

This isn't a 100% perfect example, in a lot of ways, but it does indicate a highly contrived example of ways in which you can have 0 free cash while having huge reportable income.

Nor does Postgres replication manage failover. Either way you need a 3rd party tool.

Yep, botched failovers are bad. Of course, a botched failover between replicated DBs is no walk in the park either. In many such cases you'll still want to pull backups anyway, if there's no clear way in your domain to merge two "authoritative" databases.

I'm the law professor who developed the ideas discussed in the quoted article. A friend just brought this thread to my attention. The full arguments, which address most of the concerns laid out in these comments, are available here:

(1) https://ssrn.com/abstract=2366197
(2) https://ssrn.com/abstract=2758222

(The article at the top of this thread, by Prof. LoPucki, is a response to these two articles.)

I'm happy to answer questions if that would be useful, although of course I can't give legal advice. In general, there's a tremendous amount of misunderstanding about LLCs and about the law of legal organizations, both in the US and elsewhere -- even among lawyers! It's fair to say that US organizational law tends to be more flexible than similar laws in other countries, and my point in these articles it that it's flexible enough to do surprising things.

In the articles, I specifically discuss RULLCA (the basis for the LLC laws in something like 17 US states, with that number growing), as well as NY's LLC law, and I show why a lot of people's instinctive comments here (and elsewhere!) are legally mistaken. For example, the statutes in these states specifically contemplate memberless LLCs, and indeed memberless LLCs are not a crazy or unconventional possibility. In various wealth-management contexts, they are routine. That LLCs could persist without members for indefinite periods is more controversial, but my articles explain why the current statutes do permit them.

Of course, legislatures could stop all this if they wanted to. The LLCs statutes are just statutes. But you need just one jurisdiction to allow my technique for it to enable AIs to interact with the legal system in quite significant ways. Also, it's not entirely clear what it would mean to stop an LLC from doing what I propose, or whether judges would practically wish to do that. For example, suppose you follow my technique and then your AI buys a house. What would it mean to say that the LLC isn't legally "valid"? Would the original owner get the house back and also keep the purchase money? (There wouldn't necessarily be anyone to return it to.) Developing sound institutional solutions to complex questions about legal organizations is not an easy problem.

The common-law judges have always been keen to permit new structures when they are useful. One-person legal companies were themselves controversial not too long ago, but they're commonplace today. In my articles, I give reasons supporting the usefulness of zero-person LLCs.

I can relate to that to some extent. A good rule of thumb that I try to apply to weights is to pick a weight where can do 8 reps but where 10 would fatigue me. Same thing, if its cardio, I try to pick a pace where if I run for 10 minutes, I will need to rest. These two tricks help me at least improve my health incrementally.

This is key: more expensive != better. It just means that it happens to be something fairly rare that someone somewhere with more money than sense likes enough to be willing to pay a ridiculous amount for. That person doesn't have to be you.

> Cuban advises ditching degrees that teach specific skills or professions and opting for degrees that teach you to think in a big picture way, like philosophy.

I'm not sure if big picture thinking skills come from studying one specific field like philosophy by itself. I'd expect interdisciplinary thinking and life experiences to be more important.

Examples: meet many different kinds of people from around the world who challenge your preconceived ideas, and listen with an open mind. Work many different kinds of jobs (or volunteer). Approach learning from an interdisciplinary perspective and study multiple fields.

Studying philosophy isn't a bad idea, but I don't think that one field by itself is the solution.
"We don't need people to engineer buildings any more, because we have architects and city planners."

I wouldn't expect a philosophy major to leapfrog into a similar compensation package as a competent engineer. At best they're going to be like PMs with domain knowledge, and working experience building software will be required for folks on product teams. Just another case of individual with cross-discipline expertise being more valuable than ones with narrower focus, which is nothing new in the workforce.

It's been a long day and I don't know why I even clicked the link. But, after doing so, I wanted to mention that I really like the website. Whoever made it did a good job. It's probably as informative and easy-to-use as a site like that would ever need to be without being filled with useless, time-wasting fluff. Like I said, I've had quite a day and figured I'd end it by saying something positive. Even if it's just to my screen.
That’s actually a really small group and most of the people who buy ultra-luxury consumables are not in that group. Michelin star restaurants aren’t supported primarily by the ultra wealthy. Nor are niche luxuries like chocolate bars that cost hundreds of dollars.

There is really no predicted risk for anyone on a $300 chocolate bar. You spend the money and get a chocolate bar. If it’s the best chocolate bar in the world, great. If it’s junk, that sucks. Either way your $300 is gone.
This is pretty easy to do with a cloud function. I was a little apprehensive at first, but have been using it across many buckets and haven't seen any issues. Here's a version of the script I'm using:

Well there's a contradiction. On the one hand, if I send a message to China (including unknowingly) it sounds like it would end up as part of a conversation stored on servers in China. On the other hand, Apple has a reputation as a company that cares about and protects user privacy. There's a contradiction, is all I know.
Ok that's fine again...I never said they should. I just don't understand what freedom of expression has to do with the government. The post you responded to didn't even mention the government.

I never said the government should be involved. I asked what they had to do with it. You are the only person that mentioned the government. I was asking why you jumped to the government when the poster above mentioned blocking free expression.

A private company can block free expression with their free expression. The government isn't the arbiter of free expression. Free expression just is. A private entity's free expression is capable of blocking another's. I think that is dangerous in and of itself. I think that's what the original commenter was getting at. I don't think the government should intervene.

I think everyone as individuals should be aware and make decisions based on facts. I don't like anyone that limits free expression government or other wise. I think as a private company YouTube can do this if they if they wish. But as an individual I can choose to dislike this if I wish.

Utter non-sense for two reasons.

First, he is reversing cause and effect in that AI is a philosophic problem (more specifically an epistemological problem). The philosophy departments have been doubting the efficacy of reason for over a century now, a process that started with Descartes, advanced by Hume and cashed-in by Kant to save faith from reason (i.e. subjectivism). If modern philosophy had been actually working to validate reason and explain how it works we would already have AI. AI is on hold until someone explains how reason works, and more specifically concepts, in enough detail so that we can program a machine to do it.[1]

Second, if you signed up for philosophy courses or a PhD today, perhaps you would learn how to be a more critical thinker but the danger is you would be infected with navel-gazing skepticism and impotence of reason and thus wreck your ability to think, big or small picture. If you are really talented you can get tenure writing essays destroying the work of your colleagues without generating a shred of original work.[2]

[1] Someone from the early work on computers said (I paraphrase); "Show me what the mind is doing and I can make a machine that can think". I want to say von Neumann but I've never found a source for that statement. If anyone knows who said it and where I would be very grateful for a reference.

Early at my days at Syncplicity, (a Dropbox competitor,) I specked out what was needed for true client-side encryption with no ability to decrypt on the server. It's very easy to do, from a technical standpoint.

(We solve the problem by letting our large customers run their own servers, with their own authentication via single sign on.)

The problem is that the user experience for client-side encryption is awful! Every shared folder will need its own key, and users would need to manage and share their keys outside of our system. That is not sustainable.

But then the major feature set breaks down. Want to access your files in a browser? Not with client-side encryption. Want to email someone a hyperlink to a file? Not with client side encryption.

The major lesson is that the world operates on trust. We can only stay in business if our customers trust us.
"""

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away."

From personal experience having lived and worked there for years, their password practices are pretty atrocious. Passwords like 123456 meant for one administrator but shared with the entire team, for example, seemed to raise no eyebrows whatsoever.

However, this was a long time ago and things may have improved.

This was posted to hackernews a couple months ago:

As the article points out the kind of abuses people are talking about are nit theoretical; they were done before the 2015 rules went into effect. This was especially true on mobile plans.

Another thing is you can look at how this has played out in other countries, and it isn't pretty. There's an image floating around of an ad for a Portuguese ISP, which looks like a cable tv add from the 90's -- explicit lists of sites that are provided.

It's hard to study this kind of phenomenon with the level of rigor we'd expect from a physicist. That sort of thing is kinda the best you can do.

Finally, I have friends who work at companies who do larger scale traffic analysis on the net, and from what they've told me, at least before the 2015 rules, throttling was basically the norm, though you'd be hard pressed to get the pr departments to admit it.
Page speed is already taken into account for ranking.

Google is never going to do that drastically though .. better the result people are looking for even if the page is slow than something fast but barely related.

I am not sure what else they could do in that regard, and the ecosystem has been moving towards more and more bloat since pretty much the beginning.

I am all hears for other solutions to page speed, especially since AMP is tailored to a specific use case, I just don't know exactly what would be enough of an incentive.

I used to love Dropbox, but nowadays I have little use of it. Sometimes it just stops syncing and reinstallation won't fix the problem. And forcing API upgrade caused a lot of headache for me as a developer.

And go look at how sparse that part of Texas is. It'll be just a little while before any development encroaches on the mountain. The access road above is 50 Km from a village with ~2,000 people.

I'm in the same boat. I had worked out on my own seeing reasonable progress for a year and decided to work with a trainer to see if I could improve my routine. He had me do some deadlifts and it caused injuries that set me back over 6 months.

I really wish places like r/Fitness would talk about risks of training more. Unfortunately I was going to post there, but they pretty much ban any discussion of injury.

I've been reading this book and have found it really good:
https://www.amazon.com/Strength-Training-Anatomy-Workout-II/...
What it does differently than other books is tells you what are the pros, cons, and risks associated with each exercise. That way if you want a chest exercise but you have an injured shoulder, you can choose the one that is the best choice for you.

The book also talks about how its a myth that the best way to gain strength for everyone is to do heavy compound barbell exercises and talks about how your individual morphology makes certain exercises better or worse for you.

Another plus from reading this book is that you will learn what the individual muscles are and their purpose much better.

If anyone knows a good place online to discuss avoiding injury, please let me know.
The code I've picked up from a predecessor uses a Concourse task to achieve a similar end. But it's just annoying that I can't set a policy on the bucket.

It's interesting that in Catalan you may say oi [0] in addition to sí. It is more commonly used in questions and to answer such questions. For example:

There's a construct that is very common and redundant: oi que sí? == right that yes?, which would be translated as an emphatic "right?"

here's the study, in french https://jean-jaures.org/sites/default/files/redac/commun/pro...

My french isn't very good. And the paper isn't either, although it's trying to be rather detailed. What's "violence sexuelle subie" in this context? Groping? can't be, the given totals are lower than the percentages for each individual age group "violence", e.g. on p. 19. Likewise, I can't make heads or tails of the figures for the propensity to consider suicide on all those tables, however whichway I read it, the numbers don't add up.

Comparing pages 27 and 31 [1] I can't make heads or tails of the figure for the propensity to consider suicide.

If 90% of those having considered suicide after "violence" have been groped, then the same reading would give ~30% percent across all age groups having been raped, which doesn't match the total of 12%. And then, p. 31 shows ~60% propensity to consider suicide of those having been violated. What am I missing?

I don't think boots are a good example because the most important quality is how well they fit, not how long they last. If the $80 boots fit perfectly and don't give you blisters then buy them even if you have to replace them every year. Since everyone's feet are different there's no real correlation between price and fit.
