Quoting the Orrick legal guide:

Each U.S. state has laws that allow you to form an LLC. Similarly, each state has its own rules governing the formation, governance and management of LLCs. Delaware LLCs have the benefit of being simple to form, extremely flexible (with few restrictions on management and governance arrangements), and more familiar to parties you will interact with. In addition, the process of converting a Delaware LLC to a Delaware corporation, should you ever decide to do so, is straightforward and common enough that there are standard forms addressing most elements of the process.

LLCs will not typically pay corporate income tax anywhere; they're a pass-through entity. Establishing a Delaware LLC will not, by itself, obligate a person to file a personal income tax return in Delaware.
I think the right way to think about audience controls on social media posts is as controlling who you affirmatively include in a part of your life, not as a way to actually keep any secrets.

For example, you might post pictures of your college reunion, and not share them with work colleagues because you want to maintain a more professional kind of relationship with them. But you shouldn't expect any confidentiality for things that happened at a 200-person event.

A real world example is meeting up with your friends at the bar and running into a coworker. You aren't prohibiting your coworkers from seeing you out with your friends, but you also aren't affirmatively sharing that part of your life with them. And what is appropriate to coincidentally be seen doing is different than what is appropriate to actively share in certain contexts.
I recommend doing absolutely nothing.
Nobody is going to come after your obscure personal site.
Fair question - I did have Grosse Pointe in mind, among others, and that is kind of cheating. Hopefully the NYT is careful enough that they're not comparing Detroit neighborhoods to inner ring suburbs, or the whole thing is sort of bust. I was also thinking about some of the Downtown blocks, but those aren't especially residential.

I don't have a handy answer for a city-limits residential area which was doing all that well, at least not in ~2009 when things were at their worst.
I only have anecdotal evidence in the form of friends making money on consistently-profitable online trades in a variety of marketplaces. It seems intuitive to believe that, wherever there is a market, there is a possibility of bartering as a living.
None of this means they can’t honorably charge $500 for crap coins instead of giving away that work for free.

They can make a fair business out of it where they add a few optional addons and value adds.

Just because we think they are crap and arrogantly feel confident that no non-technical get-rich-minded joe smoe will derive any value (or perhaps "deserves" to) from it doesn’t mean that he/she won’t in fact benefit from it. One man’s trash...

And besides, there are lots of purposes for small independent coins/currencies: reward your kids for doing dishes as someone else pointed out, arcades, company rewards, etc. We may very well end up in a world with infinite currencies that interoperate with each other, thereby giving individual control back of our closest surroundings.

As far as YN’s principles, it’s PR rhetoric. It’s far from representative of the ultimate truth of the intentions and actions of all those involved. In practice, it exploits goodwill to make money for a few. I'm also not all that sure that's a bad thing either.

The devil is always in the details, and as programmers, we must look at them.

Obviously I’m someone who thinks it would be more beneficial if profiting wasn’t demonized. It leads to more disengenuity, which is worse.

There’s nothing wrong with putting your own survival first and desiring to make so much money you never have to worry about it again. The hamster cage is a waste of our lifetimes and very hard to permanently get out of. And if we are so capable to escape, we will surely be able to give back a whole lot. ..you know, like on how airplanes you put on your oxygen mask first before your child’s.

But yes, there’s a flip side: people get obsessed with making money, doing deals, creating things that new jacks would create anyway. It becomes an unhealthy addiction, and the giving back never really happens. I don't think a lot of people see this for what it is as it takes over their lives. Apps and technology become far overvalued.

I think demonizing making money will continue to create the rift that obscures the balanced middle path here. I also think a lot of people who promote how they aren't money-obsessed are obsessed with something else: how good and noble they APPEAR (which I'm not sure is as "real" as BEING good and noble). Likely, it was just too hard for them to get out of the hamster cage (reads: they're lazy), and gave up. Now they work medium energy days for some employer that drives the ship. I know this much: I refuse to spend the majority of my life hustling for survival, or even worse: being someone else's tool waiting for the clock to strike 5pm each day.

The path to me is clear: grind your ass off, get yours, then give back; be conscious and don’t get addicted to anything in your life. The world doesn't need our saving (it's going to continue spinning as an infinitesimal part of a far larger universe); question your intentions, focus on yourself, as they say.
Yeah, downtown is really on the upswing.. There are a number of places listing (and renting) $2,000/month apartments and a ton of $500k condos moving through the market.
Twitter said they didn't, therefore it must be true /s
Either supports that use case; the decision is typically driven by other considerations. I wrote a guide about them: https://stripe.com/atlas/guides/llc-vs-c-corp
> ML and neural nets in particular are pretty good rough models of it.

No they're not, they are not even close. They are only good rough models of the brain if you want to look at the brain in the most over-simplified way. I blame the 'blue brain' project for myths like these.
>This statement taken in the context of the current cultural zeitgeist, sounds like an argument that gay marriage should not be allowed to exist

I didn't take it like that at all - I figured the emphasis was on the "calloused hands", meaning a typical, married, blue-collared life was nothing to be ashamed of.
Thanks for this - pasting to and from Word/docx or PDF has always been painful and this makes things much smoother :))
The follow list is public as well.
Why is something like "alksjdlq" or "alskjdlakjv" weak? Do brutal force attacks focus on any combination of characters? or combination of known words?

If the password above is not a word, or a combination of words, or something personal, and it's long enough... how is
it not a strong password?

Also, if you five away what a strong password consists of (case, length, characters, symbols) then doesn't that make it weaker because you give bots/attackers a pattern to follow?
There's a great and very common use case for LLC to C corp, so we prioritized building that. I'd love to hear what your use case is for the other way around; if it is something which creates a lot of value for a lot of founders, we'll certainly consider supporting it in the future.

Speaking broadly: You can always work with lawyers/accountants to see about the feasibility of converting your C corp into an LLC. We just haven't worked to specifically enable it in the fashion that we attempted to smooth out LLC-to-C-corp.
I don't even think a lot of people would even consider the software side when reading that sentence. To the layperson, "Full self-driving hardware on all cars" sounds exactly like "These cars are self-driving".
Before doing this, be sure to read your home state's requirements for registering out-of-state LLCs. You'll likely be required to file annual paperwork and fees in your home state, thus possibly counteracting any convenience you thought you were getting by registering in Delaware.

Or consult with an accountant, many of whom offer free first-time consultations.
I basically spent this entire weekend playing "Into the Breach" so I feel qualified to comment on that game being identified as "visually well-designed".

Here's one great thing about ItB that was not discussed in the article (probably for brevity!). When you're deciding what moves to take, the game will show you the effect of the move you're about to do. This is really handy because often your moves have knockback, or splash, etc so it's challenging to figure out on your own what exactly your move is going to do.

The not so great thing about ItB, visually, is that after a certain point in the game the grid just becomes too cluttered. This is because every enemy in the lategame has effects, splash, special moves, etc. It becomes difficult to parse visually. If the article had dissected a screenshot from the late game, they probably would not have come to the same conclusions as they did.
The problem is that you can fall into a trap of self improvement for sake of it or try to overcome weaknesses that are inconsequential. Essentially waste time better used otherwise.

Persistence has its limits and is easily exploited. To know your limits takes a special kind of training and sensitivity. Moore so to figure out limits of others.

(That's not even starting with how accurate anyone's knowledge and perceptions are.)
Not to mention DiBorane and Arsene... 1000C anneal cycles, teratogenic photoresist ethers, UHV equipment, and muti-kW RF sources. It's possible to demonstrate um scale MOS with a small lab, but not safely in anything resembling a normal garage. Hoping to replicate a multi-$B process at home is a fool's errand.
The most ingenious trick that the IBM marketing department pulled was to get non-technical (and probably even technical people, judging by this thread) to think that Watson is some kind of singular thing. Like that it’s a single big neural network with different APIs on it, or something. I honestly think that’s what most people think Watson refers to.

Watson is like Google Cloud Platform. It’s just a name for a platform with a bunch of technologies.

E.g. Watson Natural Language Understanding was previously AlchemyLanguage. It was just rebranded.

It’s very clever though, I’ll give them that. Use a human name so it has all the anthropomorphic connotations and let people think it’s some kind of AI learning things.
What's the point of this if you can premine 50% of the coins and dump them if it ever takes off?
In Germany, there are lots of shady lawyers that will scrape the net and come after everyone from whom they an extract a few hundred euros. Sending dubious C&D's is a viable business model in Germany.
This looks like a great service!

For my state (NY), I am required to register an out of state LLC (a "foreign" LLC [1]) before conducting business in NY. Is this registration or assistance with this registration included?

> Rust is the exception here in that Cargo is a very nice piece of kit

Also Rustup, which is pretty key to Cargo remaining flexible going forward. There's a huge advantage to having the build/dependency management piece being highly coupled with the language runtime/compiler. Making cargo work with all versions of Rust would mean having to build in backwards compability and make it much more difficult to do projects like the new modules changes.

It's a key insight that there needs to be two tools surrounding a language, not just one. You need good dependency management and good version management. Node also has this right with nvm and npm/yarn.
That is not a distinction most people understand.
I just mentioned the Dutch variant because I know of it and since both counties are in the EU, laws are typically very similar. I'm wondering if he was compliant with whatever the current (pre-GDPR) UK law is.
Perhaps it's me that misunderstood, but I took that 'nothing shameful' to be more about the 'calloused hands' portion of the sentence. It was meant, I think, to be a poetic way of referring to people who perform manual labor.

Jail, no?

Financial ruin for the company that was willing to put that BS below it's letterhead? Yeah, sure, in proportion with the harm caused. That said, human life isn't sacred. It and everything else gets trades for dollars all the time. A death or three shouldn't cripple a big company like Tesla unless they were playing so fast and loose that there's significant punitive damages.

In a large company like Tesla it shouldn't be marketing's job to restrain itself. That's not safe at that scale. There should be someone or a group who's job it is to prevent marketing from getting ahead of reality just like it's security's job to spend all day playing whack-a-mole with the stupid ideas devs (especially the web ones) dream up. Efficiently mediating conflicting interests like that is what the corporate control structure is for.

People using your product in accordance with your marketing should be considered almost the same as in accordance with your documentation. While "people dying while using the product in accordance with TFM" is not treated as strict liability it's pushing awfully close.

I see it as a simple case of the company owning up to its actions. It failed to manage itself properly, marketing got ahead of reality. You screw up and someone gets hurt then you pay up.
> I'd say it's worth it because to be honest I have no idea what my company's responsibilities for taxes are and yeah that makes me a little uneasy.

Yikes. You should get an accountant. Ask for referrals from other businesses in your area that are similar to yours. Ask your local co-working spaces or incubators. Google...
I recently finished reading Snow Crash (1992), which touches on this topic in an interesting way. The general premise without giving too much away is that ancient Sumarian was made up of a specific structure that acted as a kind of assembly language for the human brain, enabling self-executing code like "How to Bake Bread" or "How to Plant a Field". A villager could go to the "source code repository" aka "the temple", get a recipe for some function they wished to complete (or needed to be completed by the village in general), and execute it by having it read to them by the priest.

This was a way to bootstrap human society, ultimately giving rise to free thought and "higher level language" that was not bound by self execution.

It was a pleasant surprise and I found myself enjoying it immensely, even with a bit of suspension of disbelief.

> I believe he meant that educated liberal opinion is today more or less unanimous in its agreement that Marx’s basic thesis — that capitalism is driven by a deeply divisive class struggle in which the ruling-class minority appropriates the surplus labor of the working-class majority as profit — is correct.

This should come as a surprise to just about every liberal economist in the world. Whole-economy labor theories of value--whether oriented around "surplus theft" or not--are universally discredited in that field.
Just about every expert agrees though that their hardware is NOT capable without LiDAR (which is probably why they churn through people running their Autopilot program), although proving that in court is a whole thing.

Do you know how Adsense works?

You pay for the click. You can then track them through your conversion process. You can trivially see if Adsense is making you money or not.

Why do you think they are just CPM banner ads and speak with such authority on them here?
Well, my experience has been drastically different than yours. Virutalenv has been flawless for me.

>That sounds like an anti-pattern to me. Each project (= directory) should bring its own environment with it and should be completely decoupled from the environment of other projects.

Yes they should be decoupled, but why would I want in the same folder? If am building a Django app I don't want the entire instance of python inside my project folder for a few reasons. 1) It clutters it up. 2) The web service (user/group) needs to access the Django folder, why would I put python in a folder that the web service has control over? I much rather have my web application in /svr/www/webapp and my python virtualenv in /opt/python-virtual/webappname

And I would argue that individuals have the right to commence with research and creation. Science is not 'easy stuff that harms nobody'. The Curies suffered radiological poisoning but furthered chemistry and physics a great deal. I would think that "computer science" has mollified people in thinking that science is painless, harmless venture of fun exploration. Go read up about the countless physicists and chemists who tried to crack fluorine.

If you are a scientist, and not in a sciency-y setting (lab), have a laminated clipboard stating chemical threats, electrical threats, biogenic threats, and particulate threats.

You may end up killing yourself. If you do, you did so in the name of science. Please, don't have others die because you failed to properly notify first responders of a threat.
For anyone that wants to have a good read, try reading the TeX-book's section on hyphenation. Tons of fun that goes over some of the difficulties.

When I attended Facebook university day, 100% of the students I spoke with were from top schools. The majority I spoke with were from Ivy League Universities, of the non Ivy League students, one was from MIT, two from UMD, one from UCLA, and one from UT Austin. This is not a bubble, this is them hiring the best. I have been in class with students who chose to enter software engineering at major companies rather than investment banking.
I would blame the person, because the best case scenario of shooting an allegedly harmless gun into a crowd is equivalent in effect to the worst case scenario of doing nothing in the first place.
More specifically, the ability to record ideas.

It's one thing to simply communicate, but to be able to record ideas and effectively enable cross-generational communication is extremely powerful. Native Americans, for example, had verbal communication and some limited written communication, but much of their knowledge has been long lost because it was passed down verbally. Of course, the United States did a good job at erasing their history by exterminating the native people, but you can still look to the Aztec civilization as a contrast in how recording ideas had an impact in how much we understand about their history.
It's roughly in line (albeit on the high end) with what RocketLawyer and other do-it-yourself companies charge. Yes they are all more expensive than truly doing it yourself (as in, printing forms from the local gov site and mailing them), but you're paying for convenience and the increased likelihood of getting the paperwork done right.
I feel like you said lots of stuff that is true but isn't a response to my point.

You said that back in the day we paid for news because of scarcity due to the costs of printing and distribution. That's true, but I'm not talking about back in the day, I'm talking about now. The value in the business model now is in the combination of strong content and editorial.

You're saying that Medium is a middle-man but not a gatekeeper. That seems true to me, but what I'm saying is: that model doesn't make much sense. The majority of value provided by content middle-men is in doing gatekeeping well.

I'm very interested in direct-to-audience models for creators. But it isn't clear to me that that's what Medium is doing... Maybe it is, but it's not how I think about it (yet), so maybe they need to talk that up more.
I have a hard time buying that EE cruft will creep into Go -- it specifically guards against inheritance/factory/DI hell by offering a unique type system (enforcement of clean interfaces between packages).

If you try to implement Java-like design patterns in Go then you're going to have a bad time -- personally this is one of its strengths.

I would argue even if something is technically correct but deliberately misleading companies should get in trouble for it. Nobody has time or energy to learn about every single thing they may buy.

Fun (scary) fact – significant portions of the IRS tax system is still written in assembly. It's basically the original codebase plus 40 years of additions and patches as the tax code changed.

They were working on projects to "elevate" it to Java, because it's pretty difficult to maintain it as-is.
