> How does this happen to people?

I've seen this happen to people I would NEVER expect to stick around a bad environment, hell, I'll seen it happen to people who have left previous jobs because of a bad environment yet they can't/won't admit where they are now is bad.

It's extremely easy to, from the outside looking in, see a bad/toxic environment but sometimes when you are in the weeds you miss it completely or think "it's not too bad".

Things I've heard from friends (people I value highly and would hire in a minute if I had the power):

* Well it's not that bad

* What if my skills have atrophied and no one wants me

* I don't think I can make as much $$$ elsewhere

* I think it's getting better

* I like the people I work with/don't want to leave them hanging

I once had a guy who had been in the industry almost twice as long as me (10 years me -> 20 years him) who wasn't sure if he could find a job that paid as much. He was making 85% of my salary at the time and I considered a number of his skills to exceed mine greatly.

Another friend had put up with overwork, denied PTO, unofficial holidays taken away, etc. He told our friend group about this and asked "Is that really that bad?". A "frog in boiling water" story if I ever heard one...

What I'm trying to convey is some people do feel forced to stay in a bad situation and some genuinely don't see it. People are weird...

I appreciate the kind words, but trust me, I still have a lot to learn. The most important contributor to our early success so far has been the team, who have supported me in my growth as a founder as much, if not moreso, than I’ve supported them.

Yes — being employee 50 changes the scales a little. You’re a little too far removed from the executive team to have the same level of comfort. We’re still significantly smaller than that, but at my first job I was in the same # range as an employee.

While I didn’t get to build a relationship with the executive team, my boss at the time kept in touch and ended up introducing me to my best friend / confidant in the Toronto ecosystem as a result. So I would still say the network was valuable. :)
It's pretty clear that Boeing's leadership could have had better info than the NYT, yet they either didn't, or they ignored/hid what they knew.
What's "science"? Scientists disagree with each other all the time. Pick a controversial scientific issue; anthropogenic global climate change is a good example. Climate skeptics have no trouble coming up with scientific authorities to back their claims. Do we just take a poll and accept the results? That's probably what I'd do, but it's hardly satisfying as a way of determining what "objective truth" is.

The problem isn't that it's invariably hard to come to reasonable conclusions. Obviously, I think vaccines are very good, and that climate change is real. The problem is that "science!" isn't a Konami Code that automatically wins arguments.

The thread here is about TGD people. The comment to which I responded implied that there were "legitimate facts" that should end the dispute. I doubt that commenter's "legitimate facts" are coterminous with my own. Why should I accept them? That disparity doesn't make me right or wrong; rather, it just demonstrates what I keep saying, which is the "but facts" argument doesn't actually say anything or move the conversation forward.
Having spent the past 15 years chasing the dream, working as a Founder and a couple of C-Level positions while not really amassing any sort of wealth I can't recommend enough to do your financial due diligence when accepting trade-offs for chances to reach your life-goals.

I'm close to 32 and have two kids now, so the financial pressure is there, while having accepted relatively low pay in high cost-of-living locations for roughly a decade left me without a semi-large cushion to reorient my career or even take a sabbatical to spend with my kids. This also limits my options, just leaving for another country for a potentially higher paying job with lower job security is a risk that might be too large...

Use your twenties wisely, i'd recommend first amassing a cushion at a FANG or freelancing if possible, before trying to "learn the art" at a startup. There surely is a great many things I can teach now, having picked and fought and won my own battles for quite some time now, but there is a high chance it leaves you and your loved ones in an unenviable position compared to just grinding away in your FANG Job.
I threw it in at the end but honestly your point is valid. I should have expanded that part and will do so in the future.

It's not really clear to me either how Bloomberg expects to pass his health plan, but the same objection applies to everyone on his left too. While my preference is similar to Bloomberg's in this case, I still find it a bit frustrating that the debate is focused mostly on what is possible in our broken political system rather than what kind of policy would lead to optimal outcomes.
I'm not sure what your point is here. The definition of space space in the article is only limited to discussion, not identity or comfort. You claim that's not what they actually are, so you are agreeing with the OP then in pointing out how the article uses a different definition than the common usage in reality.

Yup but that is a bug not the intended design. The intended design is kernel memory is mapped but not accessible. GDI just makes this much more difficult because of its history.

FWIW most data in GDI objects is non critical. It doesn’t really matter if a process corrupts a brush to be red instead of green. So some GDI data is allowed to be user space accessible.

The mixed ownership is indeed a design "flaw" but it comes from the fact that GDI was initially 100% userspace (in win NT). FWIW GDI has been superseded by D2D which has a better design.

how should you know that the voltage regulator doesn't have internal caps without seeing the specs?

Can you name one voltage regulator that has them? Maybe you've worked with a few, but just off the top of my head, the 78xx, 317, and 1117 don't, and neither do all the other miscellaneous ones that I've seen in consumer electronics.

You originally claimed that "All a puberty blocker does is delay the onset of puberty" and that they "have no permanent effects that require reversal". From the pediatrics journal I cited:

> Pubertal suppression is not without risks. Delaying puberty beyond one’s peers can also be stressful and can lead to lower self-esteem and increased risk taking. Some experts believe that genital underdevelopment may limit some potential reconstructive options. Research on long-term risks, particularly in terms of bone metabolism and fertility, is currently limited and provides varied results.

Not only are there health risks, some of the potential damage is irreversible. Your above comment is completely dismissive of the health risks of puberty blockers.

Whether or not the user puberty blockers is ethical is a question of whether compromising the health of the majority of children that display gender dysphoria but eventually identify with their birth sex versus blocking secondary sex characteristics to provide a more aesthetically pleasing body for the minority that do follow through with gender reassignment. While the study does ultimately support the use of puberty blockers it does so in an environment where highlighting that the majority of transgender children desist is socially unacceptable - to the point where many categorically deny that any transgender youth desist.
I'm not aware of what you're referring to, but even if some entity wants to start an independent country in an area that was under the control of Canada and Toronto, what is your exact issue with it? Why is it not for sale? Is the issue that the theoretical small country would have open borders, and they'd expect the same from Canada? Should both countries have closed borders so that Canadians and the residents of the small country couldn't benefit from each other? If the borders were closed, would it be okay?
Hm, is it truly totally non-generalizable? There are a lot of people who are very capable for whom the real risk is not taking risk at all. I meet them regularly.

It's not the norm, but just because it applies to a set of the very skilled doesn't mean it is not generalizable. It just isn't applicable to all people. I admit that.

I am in Quebec and here the state sets the rate for every single reimbursed act. Doctors can opt out of the public system, but then they can't take any reimbursement from it at all. It's all or nothing. Needless to say that the overwhelming majority of doctors opt to stay in the public system.

I assume it's similar in other provinces and therefore your premise is mostly wrong.

I've yet to see a voltage regulator IC with built-in caps. DC-DC modules sure, but author argues that this kind of info (module / ic) should be present in schematics. BTW, some linear regulators can't handle ceramic and low-ESR capacitors at output, and may be better with none if that's the choise.
It contributes as well.

This is a really fantastic write-up.

Unfortunately one of the more interesting responses on this post is from a shadow banned account (JohnClark1337).

The author seems to forget that the internet existed in the 70's and 80's, and smartphones existed before 2009. Back then they were experimental and many people thought they might go away, and they might have gone away if they weren't then refined into technologies that average consumers could more easily use.
Here's the thing:

If it were Space Aliens of some variety, we would also need to look for places where stars are forming in unexpected ways.

If we know what stellar nurseries are, they do too, and some of them would just as soon try to farm stars and accelerate the formation of new solar systems, for utility and exploitation.

it pains me to read so many negative takes on startups. We’re actively training our young people to avoid taking risks

The maths has changed, substantially. As late as the 90’s if a startup was a success then all the early employees would make life-changing sums of money. Even the secretaries at Microsoft and Apple got equity. Nowadays all the value is captured by founders and VC’s - by spinning the myths from the 90’s and ruthlessly exploiting any workers young and naive enough to fall for it.
> This links to a Linux kernel patch which allows but does not require turning on HDCP in video output. Is that really so bad?

This seems especially silly in light of the fact that the patch doesn't even implement HDCP -- HDCP support is typically a hardware function, and the patch is providing a common interface for drivers to expose that functionality. HyperbolaBSD's description of the patch as "forcing adaptation of DRM" is a wild mischaracterization of the facts.
There is such a thing as consensus and mathematical proofs. The entire climate change debate is about the narrative of "why", not the science of "how". The change is real and happening, with the questions being: are humans having an effect and how much of an effect, with a follow up of *if we're having an effect then can we change it/reverse it".

Science does move it forward because it's the foundation. The issue you're describing is someone not understanding science. Again this is like trying to use math when you don't understand it, or trying to talk if you don't understand the language. The basics must be agreed on for progress to be made.

As for the rest of your comment, you're delving into the "question reality" philosophical aspect. And like I said, at that point, in regards to this HN thread, there is no need for a safe space because anything and everything is up for a debate.

Do you know that it would be impossible to fly without MCAS (or something very similar)?

They (B engineers) made MCAS not only for max to look like
NG, but for compensate for very serious additional momentum due to engines moving forward

There would be big piece of software to watch for pitch and stall and react accordingly, no matter how you call it

Until this is no longer true, I will view discussions of the multiverse as akin to medieval philosophers discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

One of the biggest lessons of the scientific revolution is that logic alone is a poor predictor of reality. We need at some point to go out and test our ideas in the real world.
How is this 15-year-old company, which isn't mentioned in any "ERP vendors" roundup that I can find, a "breakout startup" (to quote the actual title)? They appear to have little to no momentum.

What is the difference between "largely profitable" and "not profitable"?
Make sure to consider the screen resolution. Most cheap laptops comes with a 1366x768 display resolution, which can severely limit the usable workspace.
The difference between 99 and 85 is only 14 %, so what - the 14% with the most expensive lawyers get off and everyone else gets forced into a plea deal. That's not less corrupt, just corruption organized differently. Also quantitatively, considering the difference between the total convictions 14% makes no difference. the us is still way ahead.

60% is meaningless in this context, it just shows that LEA focuses on the wrong types of crime. How many murders are unsolved? Whatever the number it is small compared to people who are arrested for whatever happens to be most convenient and profitable.
That was usually my first thought when these projects come up. Who would want to live there? I can see why billionaires want to, but what about all the citizens that make up a real city?

>Tesla finally seems to be focusing on building cars in volume.

That has always been the case. Perhaps you meant "Media and markets know focus on Tesla's building cars in volume". It takes time to build plants, install machine them and organize the whole logistics/delivery part. They've always been focusing on this, and had to run the show so people would be ready to take delivery by the time they reach mass production.
