Not to be a cynic, but the owner can get a lot of benefits (including tax benefits) from selling to their employees versus an outright acquisition by an outside party.

Basically, the owner sells their shares to a trust, which then pays the owner and the employees gain ownership over a period of time as the financing is paid back.

I don't know if this is new, but it sounds like Apple is planning to use the .apple TLD for something.
AAPL will survive, not because they are doing great but the fact that Android just can't pick up the slack. I was completely mind boggled when top Android phones decided to get rid of headphone jack in order to copy iPhone's mistake. When Apple introduced notch, most Android phones followed up to also have that ugly thing. Funny thing is that none had FaceID to justify it! As long as Android is determined to chase tail lights, Apple is safe and will keep leading the segment. Wall street will come around back in few days.

The way to tackle the problem you state would be finding similar bounds with regularization.
Employee ownership is a very old concept. All studies have shown that they are risk averse and have poor growth. I’d love for this to work, but you can’t fantasize your way to results.

I'm typing this on a six-year old Lenovo that runs Ubuntu like a champ. Part of the reason why people run 10-year-old Apple hardware without upgrading is because it's so damn expensive.
I don't follow. They said they received:

- letter A in week one saying stock $A is going up
- letter B in week two that stock $B is going down; OP checks stock $A and it did indeed go up

Etc.

It was a little complex in the wording, but the point was clear IMO.
Memorizing your passwords seems impossible to me. The passwords I've put in my new password vault over the last year probably number in the mid 3 digits, and I don't really think I have THAT big an online footprint. So either: You share passwords among sites (which I never do) or you have a WAY better memory than I do. Or, I guess, you just use the password reset a lot?

Here are some things that make it really hard to remember all the passwords I need to:

- One bank requires me to change my password every month that I login. Don't even get me started.

- Many sites require 3-5 "security questions", which I consider to be effectively passwords and generate/manage them as such.

- Different sites have different allowed formulas of what they require for passwords

Memorizing passwords seems like a recipe for reuse of the same passwords on multiple sites, which is terrible.
However it's highly doubtable if the current versions (with butterfly keyboards) will last for the same amount of time. They are also less future-proof than older revisions, due to non-exchangable RAM and storage.

I feel for the Macbook side my main concern wouldn't be the increasing prices, but the combination with the fact that those things haven't really gotten better for some years. The entry level models with 128GB SSD are not better than was sold 3 years ago. I bought a 2015 Macbook Pro with 256GB, and the newest variant would be within the same speed rate, has the same amount of storage, and is more expensive. I would also prefer the screen as well as the keyboard of the 2015. The only thing that might be nice on the 2015 would be an (additional) USB-C/TB3 port.

Hundreds is a stretch. When you get down to the hundredth-largest city you’re at Des Moines, population 217k. At that point, if the company were to say “zero our taxes or we leave”, the city would do as told.

How small can a city be and have a healthy relationship with an employer of 25,000?

Last year I met 4 people under 25 who each respectively built $1m+ businesses. One guy started by flipping video games. The other was a programmer who did $300k+ revenue within a few months of starting his Amazon business. Another built an 8 figure business within 2 years making software for Amazon sellers.

All of them bootstrapped their businesses. The first 3 were Amazon seller product businesses. It's possible and maybe even easier now than before.

Life on earth survived the KT boundary asteroid impact. Life on earth isn't going to end from our activity, it will only end from our inactivity in protecting the earth and the sun from major cosmic
impacts. We need to get out shit together and stop feeling guilty about burning all the oil. We need to do whatever it takes to get established in space and the moon, ready to deflect and close call objects. We are natures best design yet to protect itself from the dangers of space, we are one people, one planet, one sun, and we need to stand together against the cosmos, or nature will find a new guardian or perish trying.

I don't watch children's videos, so I'll leave that factor aside. All your citations are to opinion pieces written by people with an agenda to push, i.e. not fact, not by a long shot. I watch YouTube for education and entertainment. The loss of all the educational content, by itself, would be a massive loss to humanity. If YouTube were to go down, some educators will re-upload their content to other places. Moreover, radical activists would be the among the first to adopt YouTube's replacements, thereby solving nothing.

> No one is responsible for content, and look what that’s gotten us.

I suspect your views are coloured by the kind of things you watch. YouTube's algorithms have adapted to your viewing profile. Most of my recommendations are for science, math, and music pedagogy. From where I stand, YouTube has gotten us to a great place.
India is also under pressure from the American state to cut down on generics; European pressure is apparently more in terms of supposed "human rights" violations. There have been rumors that India will buckle to this pressure, but I'm not sure when this will be. India's economy is currently not in a decent state, and if it becomes inevitable for IMF/WB to come 'rescue' it, this will almost certainly be on the agenda.
Yeah, but you can’t control luck. The one thing you can control is how hard you work.

The discussion around the content of the article here is interesting, but the thing that stuck out to me the most was this quote:

“No amount of grifting or endless working” will help alleviate the gender pay gap, which, according to the World Economic Forum, won’t close for another 200 years

I read on here all the time that the “gender pay gap” doesn’t exist. So which one is it?

That setting change only changes DNS while on Wifi. IOS offers no direct method of changing DNS while on cellular. Without something like Terminal on an iPhone, pretty difficult to tell which DNS is being used by the iPhone unless the phone is jailbroke. I use an app called Net Analyzer to check various networking configs. I'm not sure even the Cloudflare app is actually changing DNS. Need to do a bit more poking about to figure out what exactly is going on.

Edit: After playing around a bit, with the CloudFlare app alongside Net Analyzer, DNS on cellular appears to modified from my cell provider to what I think is the CloudFlare VPN profile on the device with IP addresses 192.0.2.2, 192.0.2.3, 192.0.2.4.
I use pseudonymous accounts (such as this one) for things I can't say.[1] I work at a very progressive tech company, and I certainly would be fired if my true beliefs were known by my coworkers.

For uncontroversial stuff, I use my real name. That way I can get credit for useful technical ideas while avoiding having my career ruined. If you don't believe that can happen, I don't know what to tell you. There are plenty of low profile cases that don't make the news, but I'm sure everyone's heard of James Damore.

Edit: I'd also like to pat myself on the back for recognizing this trend toward intolerance back in 2010 (when this account was created). Finally, my cynicism and pessimism pay off! And if you're wondering why my comments aren't always controversial, it's because I also use this account when I'm drunk and/or high.
What makes you think its elitist?
I think this is exactly the same problem. If you don't like it why to push? Just do training of another kind of the sport? Maybe more active or team one.
It installs a VPN policy to do it, that's the only viable method on non-managed devices. There is another big difference as well, the app enables DNS-over-HTTPS which encrypts your DNS traffic.
Is that necessarily a bad thing? Aardman has a well established artistic niche. Perhaps good governance for them emphasizes stability over risky growth opportunities.
I read David's father Kenneth Good's book Into the Heart: One Man’s Pursuit of Love and Knowledge Among the Yanomami, which was amazing. He appears in José Padilha's fascinating documentary about anthropologists Secrets of the Tribe, kind of an exposé of dirty secrets of anthropology, and a scandal about controversial allegations in the book Darkness in El Dorado. I'd read about Chagnon and the Yanomami, but not the grubby shambolic reality.
The web is awkward and clunky because it's a document markup format with bad application APIs layered on top.

WASM solves certain problems like arithmetic being slow. This doesn't fix the web's problems; it merely enables a new class of bad apps to be written on the web.

For a studio that often injects messages on capitalism and class struggle into their work none of this comes as much of a surprise.
Bhopal incident. It's easily one of the worth industrial accidents in the world, and the then PM whisked Union Carbide's head out of India, instead of prosecuting his firm for the cleanup. That hasn't stopped the Americans from lobbying though.

China routinely violates tech IPs by Americans' own reporting; I'm surprised as to why they'd not do the same for drugs.
> The vendor disappearing overnight is only one of many risks from using proprietary software. Others include...

> the vendor discontinuing the product

This is not a zero risk proposition with open source software either; your costs go up significantly if you have to start maintaining a legacy codebase.

> taking the product in a radically different direction

See above; if you just want to run the old version, proprietary software lets you do this as well.

> the company being acquired

This is definitely the biggest risk with Datomic; if Cognitect decides to EOL Datomic, there is a very high chance that they open source it (see the various free software they develop already), but if they are acquired by Oracle that chance becomes zero.

> or simply changing the licensing model (see Adobe Creative Cloud) to dramatically increase the costs of using the software.

Datomic licenses are perpetual I believe, so not a risk with Datomic.
Maybe it's something from the recent Rocket Lab launch?
Gratitude, I hope.

Without the US, the world would be a sh*tshow. The tripwire bases prevent the likes of Russia putting its paws on Eastern Europe or China snatching more islands they claim as there own.

Back when the Serbs were genociding their Muslim citizens, Europe was inept while the US saved the day, as usual.

The US enjoys the status quo - most military interventions are to maintain it.
The government can rule it however they want. They can use existing trust-busting precedent to pick apart the large firms if they want to, just like Standard Oil, AT&T, etc. It would take an act of Congress or the FTC. It would take a lot, but it could be done. Microsoft fit your definition with 90+% of desktop OS market share in the 90s and they had to settle with the government (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor...). That the government has been asleep at the wheel as Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google have risen up is irrelevant. All it would take is an aggressive anti-trust leaning Congress or President to shake things up again.
You did not provide any evidence that Walmart raised its prices after local competition diminished. Please do not say that you did when you did not.

ISPs are often a monopoly, and often a government sanctioned one. I'd not argue against an investigation into their practices.
The last time I did the math a reasonable highly available setup was $1-3m CapEx per data center, I’d want no less than three. That’s 30kw worth of gear per for a total of 90kw at ~$180/kw MRC if I’m lucky plus transit fees, so $20k a month.

Doable, but it’s a hell of a lot of hassle and that CapEx is huge for a startup.

I’d go bare metal in a second for any kind of cost conscious business that needed scale and had established revenue.

> I'm still crabby.

This reminds me of a post I saw on Facebook: "I used to think I was in a bad mood, but it has been a couple of years now, so I guess this is just who I am now."

Anyway, I think an argument that defuses cynicism is this: (1) Cynicism is generally believing that everyone is bad and it doesn't even bother them. (2) But it bothers you. (3) So that's one person in the world who's not as bad as you bemoan. And it would be unreasonable to think that you are the only person like that.

That's an intellectual answer but not an emotional one, which is equally important, because cynicism I believe is an emotional adjustment. People keep disappointing you. That hurts. If you lower your expectations, then they won't disappoint you so much. Voila! Intermittent sharp pains are all replaced by a chronic, everpresent, dull one. Many people seem to prefer it this way. But obviously something inside you has died.

A fuller treatment requires me to talk about religion, which is frowned upon here. Suffice it to say that if you believe in the Fall then you see the current state of affairs just like someone who doesn't believe in the Fall. But your attitude about it is different. Your attitude is, it makes perfect sense why I'm discontent with the way things are.
You can see the Wikipedia page for isolationism or any of the other *isms I listed above [0]. To say that there was no beneficial mutual trade in at least some of the cases is probably a stretch.

As long as it's not profitable to make money solely off of consulting for free software, but is profitable to sell proprietary software, proprietary software will be inevitable (the company that makes Datomic previously had that business model before deciding to release Datomic as proprietary software).

I developed a great new Lisp dialect since this was written.

(Though the project started around August 2009, the internals of TXR weren't externally exposed as a Lisp until December 2011.)

So the Algol family is thriving, whereas the Lisp family is dead? What do we include in either family? Obviously, Algol 68 is dead, and so is Lisp 1 and 1.5.
The iPhone 6 is trouble plagued, and the MacBook had a keyboard the dies if it gets dusty. The iPhones after the 6 all had problems. Heck, the whole slow down the machine to preserve old batteries shows what a pain it is to replace the battery and an acknowledgement that batteries degrade. Never mind the repair cost for the various ports that went out on MacBooks.

Where has it gotten us?

As an american, I feel the same way. Why don't you guys create your own youtube and stop trying to censor everyone else? Oh you can't because of the EU onerous regulations. How ironic.

I hate the pro-censorship lobby that has reared its ugly head on hacker news. Everyday, there is a barrage of comments sneakily supporting and defending censorship. Strange.

And your "sources" are highly biased at best and "fake news" at worst. It's like asking the telegram company what they think of telephones or the horse what they think of cars.

> 400 North Lake Shore, for example, is required to build out DuSable Park. Most other buildings have to replace all the traffic signals and crosswalks for three or four or five blocks around.

A city should set its property and income taxes such that it can (a) maintain parks and (b) maintain intersections without requiring ransom from new developers. Because what happens to the parks and intersections when no new developers want to come? Also, "I just invented a one-off tax you'll need to pay" is some corrupt (or at least corruptible) government.
Amen. Overseas positive identification and rules of engagement were drilled into our heads constantly, driven home by threats of prosecution for murder/war crimes if you got it wrong. Despite the fact that Tommy Taliban loved to fire at us from crowds in markets and the windows of school buildings, US forces did a remarkable job of restraint. This is not to say that mistakes weren't made, or that certain groups didn't do things that they most certainly should not have, but by and large I would much rather trust US infantry to not shoot me than the Pittsburgh Police in a confusing situation.

That said, during those rare moments of clarity on the Afghan battlefield, there was zero doubt with respect to the outcome.
A decentralized marketplace that's like Amazon.com but without Amazon. Creating an easy software solution to bring the inventory of every brick and mortar store online for cheap quick delivery or pick up. The ability to track/authorize orders so if someone bought an iPhone and they wanted to resell it, they could relist it on the marketplace as a used item with one click.

Some state of the art trust system between manufacturers, sellers, service providers, and customers. The ability to police counterfeiters and scalpers. Manufacturer says they created 10,000 and they sold to these parties and you can trace the supply chain from manufacturer to customer.

As far as being risk averse or having poor growth, their employees are animators. It is not a trade you take up if you tend to be risk averse.

Growth will be judged a frame at a time, but growth is only vitally important to investors and is not that sane a metric of success.

Your carrier's DNS may or may not be fast depending on how it is set up and who you use. In general 1.1.1.1 is faster than any of the other public DNS resolvers, and does a lot of preemptive caching that it's likely your ISP does not. Of course, it also doesn't sell your data which is a bonus.
What are these companies going to be fined for when they are following the very laws that now protect them via user-given consent and further establishing their monopolies?

Oh, they'll find things. There are already active formal investigations by GDPR authorities in various countries against Twitter, Facebook, and Google. The companies do like GDPR, as the fines will be nothing more than a small tax on their massive revenue. It's a win for both the companies and the politicians: the companies get a monopoly in exchange for a small tax in the form of fines, revenue hungry EU nations get multi-billion dollar windfalls, and EU politicians get to look like defenders of the people who will be tough on US companies. Everybody wins, except for would-be competitors and the consumers that don't get any choices about the services they use.
Huh. I've seen this exact blue/purple light in my hometown when I was a small kid (like 15 years ago). It was late night, we were in the patio with my family, eating nuts and talking, just a normal summer evening. We saw this light, and it deeply spooked us children. For years I was wondering what the hell was that. But since an earthquake didn't hit us that night (thanks god) I suppose it likely was something else.

> Looking at actual competitive commodity markets for things like lumber, oil, copper, etc, we see a lot of players in the market.

Those are all things that come from the earth (so inherently have diffuse supply), sell into the global market (so the market is large and diverse, leaving space for upstarts to find a niche) and are of strategic interest to national governments many of which then act to ensure that an independent local industry exists.

Examples of markets where this actually happens: Coca Cola (as discussed), Walmart (in local areas), YKK in zippers, AB inBev in Brazil, Luxottica in eyewear.

It's also common for this to happen with open source software, e.g. Linux on embedded devices, OpenSSH as an ssh client/server, for many years gcc as a compiler for Unix-like systems (until Apple poured money into clang to make it competitive after FSF moved gcc to GPLv3), Android on phones, etc.
Well, it is a good way to get really complacent. Not really a solution like parent proposed. I even switched to a lower paying job with 60 hours/week for a while to try to get disciplined, but it didn't help.
