Video hosting costs a lot of money.

Sending an API request, to the credit card company, to bill the monthly payment, does not cost a lot of money.

Getting your audience to switch platforms for the monthly payments is a compartively easy thing to do, compared to setting up your own video hosting site.
umm, nope
British Gallon = 4.546090L
US Gallon = 3.785412
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon

Though I had forgotten that the US used a different one. So my maths is off above. Thanks for pointing that out!

Using the US Gallon:
£1.21 per liter == $1.61 per liter == $6.09 per Gallon.
Doing this would be explicitly illegal in the EU in light of GDPR. Essentially it is unauthorised personal data collection and you cannot sanitize it enough in the device.

I don't quite understand why this naming is a big issue. USB is now so complicated you have to look at the data sheet if you want to know what you PC or whatever provides. It's not just the speed. It's also how much power can flow, in what directions and whether it does that when the power is off. It's not just USB, but whether it supports pin reassignment to DisplayPort, Thunderbolt and what not. If you care you are going to have to look it up.

The point is you will be able to look it up. With cables you can't. I wish it was mandatory to publish the rated max speed, amps and max number of insertions on every USB-C cable. It's only 3 numbers - but there is no chance of it happening.
I once had an accomplished scientist apply to a customer support role in my company.

The reason she applied for an $18 p/h role was simple: burnout. She'd been burnt out on long hours of grinding research and wanted something that allowed her more flexibility.

I gave her a shot, but she genuinely wasn't a good fit for the role.

In the end, she took a course on coding and is now doing quite well as a back-end developer in the Bay Area.
I'm fairly sure that has been tried before a few times. Is it really needed though? Stack exchange is fairly good for free.
That mindset is only necessary if you intend the Internet to be your sole income.

I work a tiring manual job for three days to pay bills and buy nice things. The rest of the week I have some time to take photos and write other content which I share freely online.

I don't expect or demand that anyone else pay for my hobbies.
I wouldn't exclude anything, but if the only examples of this are those kinds of highly immutable, mission critical software I think that would speak volumes about the practicality of maintaining a spec (the approach OP was pitching).
Just wanted to let you know that the second email-only get in touch form throws an error: an alert "oops, this form hasn't been configured yet."

Do not worry; all these companies are private enterprises, so in US, freedom of speech doesn't apply anyway. Patreon/Paypal/Visa/Mastercard/Twitter/Facebook will drop you like a hot potato, once you publish something mildly controversial.

As always with these kind of things, you should consider explanations which do not require sweeping assumptions about national mentalities. I'm no sociologist, but I'm pretty sure that differences in policing priorities play a big role here. Being fined or at least reprimanded for jaywalking is very common. On the other hand, speeding tickets are a joke, and therefore the notoriously rule adhering Germans do not give a flying fuck about speed limits.

Privacy - maybe.

Security? I doubt it. Google does a lot for Chrome to stay safe.

Performance adn battery usage? Safari works only on once OS it is build for, so there is really no contest, Firefox on the other hand is still a great way to stresstest your CPU. At least on macOS.

In vitro studies have been done for ages, but are often a worse model than closely related organisms. For instance, there are various human cancer cell lines and while these are routinely used to study various aspects of biology (cancer being just one of them), they are generally a poor model for drug trials. The current research trend goes towards developing organoids — cell cultures with a distinct 3D organisation and biological makeup that mimics actual organs — that more closely resemble actual human tissues. It’s still early days though.
Crowdsourcing Solutions: GeoHIVE’s Unique Approach to Imagery Analysis
Whether by accident, or design, The Netherlands seem much more able to have transport options that join up. Buses that terminate at the train station, tram routes that serve both, park and ride that serves all. With compatible timetables and ticketing.

The timetabling is partly by accident, I suspect -- or rather, it's a consequence of having high-frequency routes. Most inner-city buses and trams have a ride every ten minutes or less, so there's always an option that joins up. The NS (railway) does invest a lot of effort in matching their arrivals and departures with the most-used transfers, and I suspect regional bus services do the same. But I'm not aware of any timetable coordination between different operators.

On the other hand, it's very rare for train stations not to be serviced by at least one other type of public transport, and that's definitely by design. Even inter-city bus routes have their termini at train stations rather than the city centers of the cities they connect.
The creator is the same guy that made wip.chat & betalist. I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps building on it and it succeeds.
No, the heat moved is greater than the watts in. The machine itself has considerable parasitic losses, and a simple electric baseboard heater is more “efficient”, using the strict definition of the term.

The difference is that most people don’t care about “efficiency”; they care about heat moved per watt. But it matters a great deal more when you try to use a heat pump in a really cold environment, as the heat-transfer ratio of the machine plummets (which is why, in the real world, heat pumps fall back to gas or electric in cold weather).

It also matters in a scenario where you’re comparing two different machines that are powered by something small and intermittent, like a windmill.
I tended to over-explain but I developed a few tricks that help me keep things simple. I follow this five-step process, especially when writing answers:

1. What is the question?
Too often, I found I was speaking about the topic, but not actually answering the question.

2. Wait, what is the real question?
I try to take a moment and think about the question and what information the asker is actually trying to get.

3. Did I answer the question?
Or did I ramble about unrelated minutiae?

4. Did I answer the real question?
Or will there need to be follow up questions because I didn't get to the heart of the answer?

5. Did I actually make sense?

---

Whenever I have to answer hard questions, I try to write down succinct answers in less than 3 sentences. This helps me practice getting to the point, rather than my natural rambling.
For this very reason, Stripe does not allow you to pay less than the charge for the payment.

So what? If Liberapay was based in the US, they could choose to continue hosting you if they wanted to. In the EU, they don't have that option.
That trillion dollar valuation is nothing short of complete bogus though. It’s based on a bunch of handwavy extrapolations that gave them a number beteeen 159 billion and a trillion. They also include a bunch of secondary effects to get there (the forest wouldn’t sell for anything close to that).

It would be like saying Amazon is worth 100 trillion because of all of the time and money it has saved society.
That’s how it is in other aspects too: unemployed? Must be lazy. Homeless? Must be mentally I’ll or a druggy. Lost the houses? Must have been living paycheck to paycheck. People are quick to judge others until that thing happens to them and all of a sudden the tune changes.

"It doesn't need to separate train operations from rail track network maintenance. It doesn't need to open up the network to competition."

This certainly didn't help in the UK. It's been a shameful saga with multiple failures and no clear rationale. The theory was: privatisation -> ??? -> uber efficiency. Ignoring the fact that the economic theory which usually fills in the ??? requires free entry and exit into the market. That doesn't exist in the case of natural monopolies like rail.
Recent studies suggest now happened roughly recently.

This looked oddly similar to https://highscore.money and... it’s the same guy, Marc.

For what it’s worth, we had one of top ten spots on the highscore.money, got some traffic from it (and still get a trickle), but all of them were immediate bounces. Caveat emptor.
I'm not sure that article say's it's worse than pre-privatisation, just that it's not great now and they're right, I pay over £400 a month to sit on the floor for a train that turns up when it wants to. It's not exactly amazing.

But, as a counter: https://www.ft.com/content/d192b1b4-458b-11e5-af2f-4d6e0e5ed...

Now indeed, the terrible service in the past was most likely due to underfunding, but recent history suggests we'll consistently vote in a Government that starves national infrastructure then sell it off to it's mates, so it's hard to see public ownership lasting and resulting in success.

You should definitively change (or make change, I don't know if it's possible) "game" to "demo", because it's a bit frustrating when you land on the page and try all keys and even a Game pad (like I did) and nothing happens.

On the other hand, after the frustration, the wrecking ball version is great !
If they want to steal an API, SDL exists and can be modernized.

Again, no need for this in standard library when there are reasonable libraries with good licenses around.

It’s not so simple. Many couples don’t work in the same place. You could have the wife working in city A. And the husband working in city B 30 miles away. Moving to where they work only works for one and not the other. In other cases they have kids and the school districts in large cities are absolute shit. In that case you move for the school district so that your kids can have better chances in the same rat race you are in.

Communication skills are necessary for all job positions.

Remote working is quite new to us though. People have worked on site for thousands of years, while remote working just appeared in the last century or so and it has different communication needs.

My guess it will take 10+ years from now to cultivate remote communication skills so that they work intuitively for the majority of software developers.
Yes I think here we have to understand risk as meaning opportunity cost. If employ 1 is getting paid less than he would at google, then the opportunity to earn that money is weighed against the opportunity to own part of this startup.

That's a theoretical rather than a real objection since even if your platform doesn't get shut down the US payment processors such as paypal can shut you down and they're very difficult to get around - just ask subscribestar.
It's already there in POSIX C. (Winsocks is almost compatible.)
The C++ basic version actually would be good to have. Potentially a basic threaded version too.

Unlike graphics which is a moving target, even 2D. Where do you stop? Bezier paths with subdivision and full blended gradient support for those? Nonlinear projections? Fonts? Text composition?

If you bite off too much, you end up with the OpenGL problem where nobody implemented everything.

The example of a pretty bad implementation of 2D would be a) Cairo b) whatever Android and Chrome uses for drawing.
The issue are probably blocking the toilet and making a mess. I wonder though, should there then not be public sinks for this kind of thing somewhere else?

"Not being patched" doesn't mean a sinister fate awaits. Not all unpatched instances are critical. A lot of variables need to be in place before many of these "unpatched risks" are significantly risky.

Not leaving the house is a good survival tactic against the threat of being hit by bus. That's your argument?

Giving me option to perform updates whenever the hell I want, is a reasonable option we once had, it's been taken away... the hand of God reaches down and rips it out of your hands.

Please stop advocating that our choices be removed. Even something like a browser status bar was ripped out, first in Chrome, then FF. Not even an advanced choice to have it back. I prefer choice and control, I don't want a new mummy or daddy in form of tech giant or publishing and advertising giant or software vendor telling me how it is, or what I need.

That's quite different from "free speech is not considered". Every country has free speech exceptions: for example, in the USA "there are several common-law exceptions, including obscenity,defamation,incitement to riot or imminent lawless action,fighting words,fraud, speech covered by copyright, and speech integral to criminal conduct"

In th EU:

> The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union has been legally binding since December 1, 2009 when the Treaty of Lisbon became fully ratified and effective. Article 11 of the Charter, in part mirroring the language of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights, provides that

> 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.

> 2. The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected. The European Court of Justice takes into account both the Charter and the Convention when making its rulings. According to the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Union accedes to the European Convention as an entity in its own right, making the Convention binding not only on the governments of the member states but also on the supranational institutions of the EU.

So, is speech in USA "freer" than in the EU? Yes. But in both cases free speech is recognized as a right.

I found out that jaywalking is mostly about being from a big busy city (everyone jaywalks because otherwise you would stand more than walk), or being from a small city (no one jaywalks as the semaphores are sensible and traffic low) and a village (everyone jaywalks because there is not even a pavement, however city is scary). Religion plays a role although I've noticed that it's probably just because the religious fathers I know of are very strict.
Horrid. And poorly designed by the sounds of it, placing the cooling vents where they could be obstructed.

“Totalitarianism is a political concept of a mode of government that prohibits opposition parties, restricts individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life. It is regarded as the most extreme and complete form of authoritarianism.”

Both are totalitarian.
The look and feel of a UI is what is basically called a "non-functional" requirement. Altough this approach seems really helpful in specifying the app flow i think the small details which customers pay for, cannot be represented with this approach.
Additionally, most customers I worked for might not understand these charts. Personally, I think tools like screenshots, click dummys or wireframes are more successful when specifying UIs for a customer. As a specification for a web designer it is helpful for sure...
Organoids do count as in vitro. And as I said, synthetic biology, automation and machine learning help in improving these methods.

I think that your evaluation of the employee not entirely understanding the toll it has taken on you, is fair. Sympathy and empathy only go so far.

One thing I'd suggest is - In this description, you've emphasized the hours put in.

That's fair. You work hard and feel that this deserves compensation. But - if you were following that logic - your first 2 employees SHOULD combine to have more stock than you. You certainly don't put in more man hours than 2 employees put together.

Nor are you likely paid for the risk you take. You could hire an employee that drops out of college or otherwise risks their future opportunities. They will likely not get as much stock as you.

The thing that you could probably emphasize is how core to the success of your company your contributions are.

It is not a given that your contributions are worth your compensation (compared to the developer).

On a similar vein, one could argue that parents are the people who contributed the most to the success of their children. While you could argue that this is logistically true - in practical, the conception is a very small part of what makes the child successful. What's important is what comes afterwards.

So - It might be true that you work hard. But I'd recommend you fall back on to the value you bring to the table, when justifying your compensation.
