Why Do Startup Businesses Fail, How I Failed My 2nd Business Startup Tips
Unfortunately, it's hard to license or standardize integrity. I'd say what we're looking for is "accountability"
> For what it's worth, I strongly subscribe to the maxim of not ascribing to malicious intent that which can be better explained by incompetence.

Me too, but it's really difficult to not suspect at least some malicious intent in this case.

It's not just Buttigieg's links to Shadow, on top of the ex-Clintonites. It's also things like:

- cancelling the Des Moines Register poll (afaik first time this happened)

- 'mistakes' in the poll results that somehow benefit Buttigieg at the expense of Bernie (others too, but Bernie moreso)

- spending a ridiculous amount of time on reporting the Bernie-favoring results, which basically robs Bernie from declaring victory, and which arguably is the main importance of the whole thing (and iirc this has a big effect on how the rest of the elections go, because Iowa is the first).

- MSM focusing on state delegates when the popular vote clearly favors Bernie, and IMO should be the most important statistic.

There's a bunch more, but even just the above makes it difficult for me to assume that there isn't at least some malice towards a candidate who is generally not favored by the DNC and the DNC-aligned MSM (and corporate interests).

EDIT: I'll add that I'm very open to being wrong. I want to be wrong about all this, and as a non-American I have relatively little actual skin in the game.
Only if they’re being manufactured in the country where they’re used.
Behringer has a very specific business model at the moment and it's the cheapest possible clones of classic synths.

To be honest, they're an incredible efficient company now and if you contrast that with their reputation for building unreliable junk it's a pretty impressive evolution.

Most of what they clone hasn't been in production in decades. Often the companies have changed hands or gone out of business. The clones are orders of magnitude cheaper than the real deal used and generally have more functionality (see: the new Poly D). In short, there's demand but not much realistic supply.

It's possible Devil Fish has some patentable novel concepts but the skeptic in me says probably not. He's trying to operate in a different business space than behringer is. That seems to be the dispute (beyond the very fair critique of the word murder and the color)

I don't think it's perfect, in fact I don't know of any system thats perfect, but how it operates in pricipal is okay, and how that reform and improvement is done could be quicker but I'm not going to claim it's going to collapse. The single market is the main selling point of the EU. Not imigration control, those issues are state decided. IE by the respective members.

I'm not seeing the bullying here. Two companies engaged on a partnership, it didn't work out and now they're both airing the laundry.

The deal didn't make sense for either party. It happens.

What I find interesting is that none of the clone criticism seemed to impact the excitement about working with behringer in the first place, assuming the deal made sense.
> REAL ID is both optional,

While this is true,

> and not offered unless you go out of your way to get it.

this is not.

I live in NYS and just renewed my license. The REAL ID requirements were very prominent, and it wasn't immediately obvious if it was possible to renew my license without making it REAL ID.

They also offered a step above that, which I think was just called "Enhanced," which would allow me to leave my passport at home if I were going to Canada, but I travel to Canada less than I travel to Europe (and neither one frequently), so I didn't see the point in paying extra $$ for that.

I believe the "reputation" is simply the fact that you cannot call someone at Google for support unless you're an enterprise customer (GSUITE).

That's the new trend though for almost all companies. Customer telephone support is costly, difficult to manage, difficult to staff, and problematic customers consume an overwhelming amount of resources - orders of magnitude more than their value as a customer.

...on the enterprise side, I've had great experiences with their GSUITE support teams.

The online support forums are garbage though - I'll give you that.

You have to be at pretty huge scale before you really need to consider this. A giant RDS instance, some read replicas, and occasional fixing of bottlenecks will go a lonnng way. And scaling RDS is a few clicks. By the time you need to start sharding, you can probably afford a dedicated database engineer, or at least I'd hope.

Mostly two big changes that I got with experience: Code architecture and organization in general. You make more modular code, minimize code coupling etc. And another big change is in optimization.

All member states would need to agree to implement the banning of facial recognition for it to be effective. Again this is a descision which the members must agree to. And it is certainly possible. But there is not 1 entity who decides for all members.
Are there electronic music producers out there who are going to be offended by the word murder? Seems like a weird addition to this story.

It's members make up the rules.. To get a facial recognition ban, all members must agree to implement it. Then it becomes part of the EU standards.. Members agree to it, then implement it.
Its is NOT: "Well you have to implement this because you're a member of the EU" - It does not work that way.

>Except for that part where they were spending free time watching play-by-plays of their own work.

About that, I only notice the article says this:

- "At the end of the week, I’ll watch a few segments from the previous week. "

I don't see why "end of the week" must be interpreted to mean "free time" instead of "end of the day on Friday before I go home for the weekend."

It still seems like some of us are determined to find reasons to dismiss the essay as detrimental advice because he used the word "productivity" as opposed to just charitably engaging the underlying concept of productivity as a universal positive.
Actively listen to the people in your personal and professional life as if you were a scientist. Think about what they are trying to say to you beneath the words. Do they want praise, recognition are they feeling stressed,
happy? People will tell you these things almost unwittingly.

When its time to respond try to frame what you say in the context of their needs and what they have communicated. If you can't think of anything immediately rephrase and confirm what they said and you can think about the meaning of it later when you are post processing the interaction, again like a scientist. You aren't going to be good at it at first. Experiment. Even if the interaction turned out negative don't take it personal it's still another data point to help you learn how to do it better.

By doing this procedure you can learn about how your emotional system works and how human dynamics work and when its appropriate to talk about yourself in conversation. It takes time and it has a lumpy reward curve, but it is very satisfying.
My last company had a couple rounds of layoffs last year (including me eventually), everyone in the executive leadership kept referring to it in such a roundabout way. They'd always call it, "the reorg" and the people laid off were people, "impacted" by it.

So you had to fire a bunch of people for no fault of their own. I get it, that's business sometimes when the times aren't good. But just say it. I do believe our CEO is genuinely a good person and did not feel good about doing it, so maybe there's a component of protecting one's own emotions in there as well by speaking around it.

I think a lot of people here aren’t seeing the high picture.

Becoming more productive at this level makes the programmer environment significantly tougher and it has negative consequences over time to every human being. It’s a fact that many people don’t even think about it. If you optimize yourself to near –let’s say 95% of your actual capability, you are making everyone else optimize themselves to this number over time. This is great on the context of capitalism and economic growth, you produce more in less time, but we are forgetting that we are humans, not machines being optimized. Of course it’s okay to strive in this life to progress and achieve certain goals, but as happens in almost everything in this world, there should be some limits. If you are getting to the point where you have to monitor yourself, schedule every part of the day and establish X number of controls on yourself, you are being a company, not a human being, and you really aren’t understanding the point of life.

This is a common trend I’ve been realizing for years, we have been sold the idea that we should improve more and more and be more competitive, but without any limits, this is going to negatively affect our lives, indeed, it’s happening right now.
What part of

Again: this is being rushed through precisely because of behaviors such as the one you describe.

"Then don't hire employees in a region/country that has good employee protection laws/regulations."

Not very practical for childcare facilities?

" If businesses want to operate in such a region/country they will have to comply with ALL the laws and regulations there"

The point is that laws can be changed. Here in Germany especially, we are very aware that laws are not automatically good. We went through this period of time where a lot of bad laws were in place.

"they should only hire people old enough that they can be sure they're barren/impotent"

Or, you know, men? Which is exactly what the feminists governments want to avoid, but they bring it about with their paternity laws. Also, what you suggest is technically illegal in most Western countries (discrimination).

Sorry, but I get the impression you haven't really thought much about these issues yet.

"14 months parental leave with up to 67% or the maximum"

Yes, the government pays mothers, but it doesn't compensate businesses for the losses they incur when women they hired leave for motherhood. They just have "punishing" laws like the job position has to be kept open in case the mother wants to return. That is a punishment for businesses, who are not at fault for women having children.

"this was never part of my argument."

You just dismiss it if certain types of businesses struggle. I explicitly mentioned childcare facilities because I have experienced the problem firsthand.

The point is that laws can have unintended consequences. And those don't go away by simply saying "the business should just go bankrupt or operate in another country".

"many many businesses and branches of business have difficulty hiring people but that doesn't really matter here."

Of course it matters, it means the cost of hiring women is even higher, because replacing them is expensive.

Sadly these maps still have our driveway as a "road."

Years ago I heard that Apple was going to use OSM data for their map app. I contacted OSM to remove our driveway. They did demote our driveway to a "private road" (the best I could do). Luckily, our driveway is not in the Apple maps app. I am still somewhat irritated particularly when I see our driveway in apps like this.
Maybe I should have added that I actually hold a german passport. I realize that posting a hitler quote here looks really weird, but before instantly writing it off as a case of Godwin's law, do your research and check out what the AFD actually stands for. Sadly, the quote is extremely relevant to what has happened in Thueringen yesterday: It reminds us that this is how it all started before. That is why even conservative german media outlets have picked up on it.

The quote is from 1930, which is still at the beginning of Hitler's rise to power. In it, he reckons that the NSDAP had now become a major political force since the established parties in the state of Thueringen were, for the first time, unable to stand up a government without the votes of the NSDAP. This is pretty much exactly what has happened yesterday.

What's worse is that the "christian" conservative party, which is the largest centrist force in Germany, has basically given their tacit approval to all of this. They were the ones who teamed up with the nazis to put a center-right candidate into power. Without the votes of the nazis, he would have lost the election. Mind you, they did this after years and years of political campaigns claiming that they'd never cooperate with the AFD. That promise aged like milk.

To put it into perspective, it's a bit like the GOP of South Carolina teaming up with the local KKK to put a new senator into office because the KKK controls over 20% of the votes in the state. Imagine that for a second. It's scary...
