The PE fund's capital is partly other people's money too. In particular, fund limited partners (the fund investors) put up most of the initial money. The PE firm itself also puts in money but not nearly that much. This makes it easier for the fund managers to make a profit themselves quickly, even if the fund investors end up losing.

Frame rate? I don't see how any lack of framerate on Amiga was due to CPU because peripheral chips performed all the video and audio using DMA from dedicated graphics (CHIP) memory.

This is in an article about snoring and braces. The purpose of the article is to relay these new theories about such to the reader.
The writer is definitely sacrificing clarity in favour of an ornate, pompous and pretentious writing style imo.
There are genres (eg. literature) where word-play and creative use of language and so on are acceptable for the writer and the reader. But its entirely inappropriate for this sort of article.

Also, getting back to "apotheosis"...Almost any other choice (climax,peak,culmination,zenith) would have been more apt and clearer.

"apotheosis" is ambiguous. Its also a relatively obscure word most readers will not clearly know the various meanings of, and even the more appropriate meaning is not as apt as some of the words Ive listed.
Its even hard to discern its meaning from context as the entire sentence is such an overwrought mess, full of necessarily big words.

Thus, the only reason I can fathom the author chose this particular word is to attempt to appear superior.

Also what is a 'technobro' ???
I thInk milkweed is different. Its named after it’s appearance, and not in an effort to usurp meaning and coopt.

Fundraising is a distraction. A founder who is engaged in fundraising finds it difficult to focus on their actual business. Being able to get back to the business quickly therefore provides a very obvious value proposition for the founder.

VCs have the rather different requirements. People looking for their money is an ongoing activity for them, so there is no particular advantage in ending that dance with any particular founder. Indeed, not being in a hurry to make a deal when the other side is improves their bargaining position. (Unless someone else is faster.) And the more likely they are to hear about a showstopper that would make them decide to not invest.

The result is that VCs want to drag negotiations on as long as possible..right until the moment that it is clear that some other VC is leading the investment and their possibility of getting a piece of the action is slipping away.

This is why what YCombinator does works so well. They decide very fast on whether you're in a batch. They standardize terms, which makes it harder for investors to drag their feet. And on demo day, every investor knows that they are competing with other investors in an investment round that will close quickly. This forces them to make a go/no-go decision.

Interestingly, the fact that founders get to raise money quickly and get back to their business improves their businesses odds of survival. Which improves the prospects for investing in them.
You can imagine a user doing both. Daily commutes get handled by the scooter you own. Evening / Weekend events get handled by the rentals when you don't want to lug it around all day. There's definitely space for both. (Think car owners that commute but use Uber/Lyft to go out drinking)
One small, typical example: most of our VPN customers are setting up some satellite that needs to connect to the home office. The connection is initiated from our network to the home office. So the IP address of the satellite doesn't really matter.

This is not always the case, but it is the most common case.

So when a customer demands a dedicated static IP address, I wonder if they really need that. We charge extra for that because we have a limited pool of public IPv4 addresses. We can do it, but it is usually unnecessary, and better to avoid unless you really need it.
On the other hand. Someone who can admit they don't know the answer to something when they genuinely don't know tends to be more willing to actually go out and learn about that then people who pretend to know the answers to something they don't

Any time i've been working with someone I prefer any time they admit they honestly don't know something then when they lie and pretend and end up fucking shit up.

I kind of took this quiz as a practice quiz for a job interview type scenario than an actual skill test. The questions make more sense if you look at it that way. The question about the web scraper for example seemed like it could have been answered correctly more than one way...
I object to the implication these labels give that the nut or seed in the title is actually responsible for the taste and texture of the beverage. With the exception of soymilk, nearly all of these products are sweetened xanthan gum milk with a tiny amount of [almonds/flaxseeds/macadamias/...] for flavor. A glass of "almond milk" contains, if you're lucky, about six to ten almonds.

I have no qualms about the "milk" part, though.
I rarely comment on name ambiguity because there is rarely overlap, but this does overlap a bit with the Sonar CI analysis tool IMO. Reading this post, I can create a Sonar plugin with Java? OK, let me Google "Sonar Java plugin"...
One of the things I quickly learned as I got close to graduation is that the primary problem with a math degree is that everyone thinks a math degree represents little more than extra time doing the math that they know (or are at least aware they've encountered). There's apparently a blub paradox of education.

There's a somewhat similar dynamic with PHP; when people aren't simply outright going by their own language preferences, they may assume that your caliber as a dev is roughly equivalent to the highest quality PHP codebase they've encountered & groked. And not only has there been an awful lot of low-quality PHP code written, the most commonly deployed PHP code probably doesn't fit the most common web MVCish architecture choices that've coalesced over the years.

You can, of course, use both kinds of judgment in a form of reverse-discrimination.

I think the other solution is to get more concrete about the kinds of problems you've studied/solved. If your Math degree brought you to lots of material about matrix & numerical analysis, hey, you studied machine learning foundations. :) PHP? Maybe you're now partly a domain expert in content management systems.

(But also, probably best to add a language Java/C# folks look at with respect...)

Speak for yourself. South Koreans love that US has defended them against the maniacal dictators around the country. Taiwanese people love that US has protected them against the Chinese aggression, and support their island of democracy. Even some Chinese people love that US was the main capital provider into the country that lifted Chinese from abject poverty.

While around the world, muslims are angry that China has enacted a concentration camp for millions of muslims. (I'm sure since you're in Malaysia, you should have heard your muslim friends say something about this). Americans are pissed off that China steals trade secrets and doesn't abide by any of the laws in WTO. Vietnamese, Indonesians, and Filipinos are upset about the Chinese aggression in South Sea. Japanese are upset about the perpetual hatred Chinese government has against Japan (tons of WW2 drama portraying Japan as evil).

Why would you think that? It's pretty trivial to do. You could try to obfuscate your traffic but that's just playing cat and mouse (and the ISP could just decide to start dropping anything that it doesn't recognize and seems to consume a significant amount of bandwidth).

I think the most efficient way to hide your service would be to tunnel it over HTTPS given that it's not really realistic to drop that when you're an ISP. Still, a relatively simple traffic analysis tool won't have too much difficulty differentiating between proper web browsing and something fishy over HTTPS even it it just looks at the shape of the traffic.
Outside of this audience, it's rather common[0]. It's not something that people, outside of these communities, harp on all that much. But even take things we do harp on, like not reusing passwords, are still things that the majority of people do[1].

I worked in various security positions at one of the US's biggest ISPs and routinely brought these sorts of things up to family members. I am embarrassed by the kinds of practices my family employs. The excuses vary but most of them fall along the lines of the same excuses smokers give when asked about lung cancer risks: "It Won't Happen to Me(tm)".

Even within our industry, bad practices exist all over the place. An example I often point to is Code Signing certificates[2] -- I went through the trouble of generating a CSR offline using a Linux live CD, backed up the private key to an encrypted thumb drive and placed the result on a Yubikey to protect it when I need to sign something. The best part was sorting out how to actually give the CSR to the CA I used to purchase the key from. They offer all kinds of convenient, (IE and Firefox-only) in-browser mechanisms which result in generating the key online in a potentially already-compromised machine, but I ended up having to go through several steps using phone support to get my CSR to the CA. The way they did things encourages people to not think about protecting the private key; simply leaving it on an unencrypted volume with (likely) no other encryption used to protect the key.

[2] I mention this kind of certificate because its credentials are such that an individual or company is named -- it's meant to identify a person or a legal entity, not a domain name -- and things signed with it result in that legal entity or person's legal name being displayed on launch in operating systems like Windows. It's something that you really wouldn't want to have fall into the wrong hands lest your name end up being prominently displayed prior to the installation of malware.

Assuming the other internet packages stay how they currently are and we start seeing cheaper introductory packages offering fewer internet services, can anyone explain why this is a bad thing?

It seems to me like people who would (and can) otherwise buy internet will continue to buy internet, but people who couldn't afford it or didn't want to afford it might jump on cheaper packages. This is especially illustrated in e.g. third-world countries where we have majorities still not connected to the internet (where a super-cheap Google/Facebook/whatever package would go far), but there are still many, many people in poverty here in America that don't have access to basic things online. Offering them a cheaper plan to access just the parts of the internet they want to use seems like a win-win here.

As long as it doesn't go the other way.

There's lots of great advice in this thread, but much of it is not direct enough for someone suffering from depression and anxiety, which you obviously are. I have struggled with it on-and-off my entire adult life. What you need right now are clear simple marching orders that you can follow.

1. You are in no position to run a business right now, and in no position to live alone in a foreign country without extensive support from family and loved ones.

2. How your actions will reflect on other foreigners is totally irrelevant to your situation. Your fixation with this is a symptom of anxiety. Right now you believe you are be watched and judged. In reality, one week after you leave nobody there will remember you or care. You are free.

3. Tell your accountant to wind down your business immediately. Do not equivocate or listen to arguments from him. If you need help, someone on this thread who is familiar with Japanese language and customs will surely advocate on your behalf.

3. Find friends, relatives, or loved-ones that you can lean on for support and GO HOME now. You can always come back when you are better. This is not a permanent decision, you are just getting back on your feet.

4. Get professional help as soon as you get back. When evaluating who to stay with, ask yourself this "will they make me seek help and hold me accountable to keep getting help" That's the friend/family member you need right now.

Once your steady and on your feet again. You can start to re-build your life.

Good luck and godspeed. Not many people know what you're up against, but I do. You can do this.
I got my 1950x for $699 a few months ago. Its been $699 for a while at Microcenter.

The "price-competitive" i9-7900x is 10-cores for $799, and seems to be the best price-competitive comparison. Better single-thread, better at AVX512 tasks, but weaker in general purpose multithreading due to having fewer cores.

> I understand their gripe with plant products, that sounds like deceptive advertising.

It really isn't, though, in practice. All these products have packaging that is designed to make them immediately recognizable as plant-based products. They want, first and foremost, to be attractive to their core market: Vegetarians. They may make other overtures in an effort to attract people who do eat meat, but those invariably involve trying to sell their being plant-based as a thing that makes them a healthier product. Even the Beyond Meat brand, which is the one that skirts the closest to being deceptive here, by virtue of their name, still has "PLANT-BASED XXXX" written front, center, and in large contrasting color letters on the packaging of their products.

Banning words like "beef" and "meat" from the packaging sounds like something that would actually engender confusion among consumers, by effectively banning phrases like "meat free" from the packaging.

This whole effort reads to me as a rather blatant example of rent seeking behavior on the part of an incumbent industry in response to new entrants to the market.
Fever had something like that, unfortunately it's not available any more as an RSS provider. Not sure if there are any other solutions, maybe even self-hosted that aggregate content.

I'm currently using http://nuzzel.com/ to aggregate my Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin feed and it does a great job of filtering out the "important" stuff that people talk about. Not just the noise that comes and goes.

I'm really happy with it, so happy that I even activated the email digest every morning and push notifications. It's pretty neat if you don't want to be drowned in a stream of information but also want to know what's going on.
I really agree with this analogy. We are in such a weird state in America because we think Capitalism is some kind of natural state where everyone plays fair, when the reality is, the State has always had to regulate competition to make sure it's actually competitive.

It has to do with the understanding of the common consumer since they're who we're protecting here. Go ask most consumers what 'meat' means and they'll tell you (something like) it's the flesh of an animal. Ask them what 'beef' is and they'll tell you it's the flesh of a cow. Ask them what a 'hotdog' is and no one is going to tell you it's the flesh of a dog. The goal here is to make sure consumers know what it is they're buying. If I go to the store, am idly shopping and pick up something that looks like this [1] in the meat section and then get home and open it up and cook it and it's actually this [2] I'm going to feel taken. And rightfully so.

I think there's a disagreement in the US about the severity of crossing the border illegally. Some people consider it a minor offense like jaywalking or driving 5mph over the speed limit, while others believe it's more akin to theft or murder.
I had the idea of using my tongue to simulate the forces of braces. Did you know the tongue should rest against the roof of the mouth? No dentist or ortho consult ever mentioned that one but one little web page did. It’s working, my teeth fit together better and jw shape is changing, after at least 8-12 months. I’m keeping photos for record. I found out my fundamental problem is an obvious tongue tie... instead of fixing that, the dentist took his cut and extracted my top molars due to ‘crowding’... technically true, of course. But you can uncrowd them yourself.

Pretty much everything dentistry is a scam, er, free market capitalist endeavor with A monopoly... it’s all on the Internet. Is saying this illegal? I’m not a dentist, this is for comedic relief... Fruitarian warrior diet is the only way (eat mostly fruit, with some veggie based food like Huel for mass building). I doubt I’ll ever go to a dentist again, except to fix problems they’ve already created if I can’t avoid it (non-interventialist).
An effort to usurp meaning? How about an effort to use evocative language to describe important characteristics of a product?

Seriously, why do you think the government should enforce a monopoly on a word which does a great job of describing "milky" substances? I think that's utterly foolish.
Your personal experience doesn't invalidate the claim that Ruby is declining.
