> And I'm guessing the Uber seed round wasn't available to the average investor.

If you ask the SEC the majority of ICOs aren't available to the average investor either, and never should have been. Because the vast majority are pure, hot, unadulterated garbage like Dentacoin and IOTA - which emulates a ternary computer for literally no reason anyone can identify.
Hmm, I'm not sure I agree with a flat "2 years" assessment here. It seems like somebody working 90hrs a week on their startup could do this all very much faster, and somebody working 2hrs a week would take very much longer... no?

I do agree with you FWIW, this was much more along the lines of idea validation than actually running a startup.

But I'm not sure I agree that 2 years is the cutoff...
> Ad supported services are booming, the Facebooks, Googles, because we’re consuming more ads.

Ad revenue is flat YOY. That's normally death for these companies. In these times, it's positive relative to the market, but that's not what your assertion is.

> Wouldn't the mega-wealthy be the ones who'd be least likely to need to sell anyway? Versus people with investments that they want to liquidate for a buffer after losing a job, or retirement?

Yes but...they want profit. They want to go UP...UP...UP...

So, if they felt that their entire portfolio is at risk, they'd cut and run. But since the mega-rich are too big to fail, they are now being (partially) subsidized by the Fed.
:) I (now) agree. In fact, each part isn't even really that hard. It's mostly just a lot to work. And then code generation. I had some headaches with multiple return values and keeping the calling conventions intact... And then with structs as well.

That language flow and general simplicity was one of my most important goals. Thanks for noticing :)

No, I had no problems regarding that. What you mention ('+', '(') are all part of simple expressions when parsing. And I strictly parse right recursive and re-order the expressions later (for operator priority). So that was not an issue. Most of these problems I solved, by making my parser a lookahead of >1. In a few cases, there is a lookahead of 3 to determine what exactly should be parsed.

I guess anything, that can run an X86-64 Elf executable? ;) Although there is still a lot missing, for it to be taken serious. Starting with strings, files, input, ... But thats for another time or whenever I need it, I guess.
Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Netflix revenues have nothing to do with ads.

EDIT: parent comment was significantly changed after I replied to it. Initially, it was saying that "Apple TV+, Apple Music, Netflix, and Microsoft" were having a tough time and that their ad-serving customers will likely have to cut their ad spending.
I agree that’s it’s incredibly worse than what we have now.

Thanks for your comment, it is a nice reminder to receive.

When I wrote the comment, I was remembering a coworker whose nephew had ASD, and could not process spoken word from his family well. They discovered that using the "say" command on an OSX Terminal to make the computer "talk" was something that did work for communicating, and the boy would listen to the computer's advice for when it was time for bed or time to brush his teeth.

It was not my intention to perpetuate dehumanizing stereotypes, so I apologize if it came across this way. Rather, I was trying to emphasize the positive impact of having more parenting tools in your metaphorical tool belt.

At the risk of sounding ignorant again, I would argue that good hygiene and sleep are habits that everybody should build, regardless of your neurological disposition :)

As you can tell, I read everyone's feedback.

I don't share your views on this matter. I think, particularly given that public policy is relevant to all of us, that it does make sense for even a layperson to engage in the conversation. This is not merely a scientific issue. Rather, we need to don our scientist caps to try to figure out what is likely to happen under different scenarios from an epidemiological standpoint, and then we need to think like economists when analyzing the economic impacts of proposed policies, etc. It's very much an intersectional discipline.

While I am very transparently trying to shift peoples' opinions, I am also inviting them to try to shift my opinion.

Rather than sink 200 hours into this in order to make it picture-perfect, I wrote a first draft that I feel covers some important points, and shared it to get feedback. As you have seen, some parts were completely wrong, some parts were completely right, and a lot of parts were/are in between.

By doing so, I've exposed myself to viewpoints that I would not have otherwise heard, and vice versa.

We all get frustrated when people make statements that expose an ignorance on a subject that we are well versed in. But how we choose to respond to it is very telling. So personally, if someone makes a ridiculous statement about my field, but their statement was made in good faith and they are seeking feedback, I will absolutely take the time to try to tell them where I think they got it wrong. Even if I think they got, well, everything wrong.

CAT5e is not in-spec for 10 Gbps but it will usually do it for short runs. Under ten meters, worth a try. The official spec is 100m and the transceivers are pretty solid at pulling a signal out of the noise.

Personally I'm with the other guy, I think this is a dumb half-measure and we should just move straight to 10 Gbps. Right now the single biggest cost in your household multi-gig deployment will be switches, a switch with 4-8 10Gbase-T ports will run you around $500, and this figure is not really any cheaper with multi-gig. You are paying through the nose for something that is a watered-down version of the "real standard".

Say you have two switches, one is upstairs and one is downstairs, are you really going to drop $1000 on a half-baked deployment? People need to try it, figure out if their existing cable is stable enough for their needs (maybe that segment can run at 5gbit speeds and it can be 10 gbit on your machines and on the switch), and just pull cable where it's not.
Great point! That's the question I'm asking myself too.

I'm erring on the side of moving on too quickly, rather than waiting too long, because I like to move fast and I've already made the mistake of spending way too long on something.

I think it's really non-obvious, and there aren't a lot of good heuristics that measure how long is long enough -- and it's my belief that most heuristics simply aren't aggressive enough. One of my mottos is "most limitations are conceptual and self-imposed," and I see a lot of self-imposed limitations in the SaaS community, mostly because people have no idea what can be achieved when you set really high goals... not sure why.
I'll be honest, I personally find it hard to believe that the P/L for Hangouts Meet is remotely positive.
From your 2 - they are approved to construct a 1.2 GWh energy storage facility.

If a car took 100 kWh of battery capacity (to use round numbers), the storage facility mentioned would use 10,000 vehicles equivalent storage. (If you use 25 kWh vehicle equivalent, it would be 50,000 vehicles, etc)

I wouldn't call the cost « little higher » if you factor in the motherboard (and possibly the cooler). Any AM4 board will run a 3700X whereas Intel's using yet another socket for their new chips.
Hmm, I think I might've misread, but I interpreted what was being asked for the ability to mix declarations and statements, as C99 allows. If what's being asked for is simply the ability to declare variables at the top of blocks, I think that's allowed in C89? Certainly GCC and clang both allow it without warning with -std=c89 and -pedantic. I agree that there are cases where enclosing a variable in a block will allow earlier reuse of the memory that backs it.
It's all a betting game. Go to trade school and get a decent job making good money but have little upwards mobility other than opening your own business. Or go to university and hope you pick a worthwhile major and get a great job out of school where you have a lot of upward mobility. University is risky but if you can pick something like electrical engineering and end up at a top firm, you are probably set for life. I've got friends with university degrees that have done very well for themselves and those that just couldn't find a job in that field so now they work in retail. Some of them did everything right but just couldn't find high-paying work (computer science), others choose majors that fit their passions but don't have any immediate real world use (english).

I think some people have huge expectations for what their degree will get them that just aren't reasonable. I picked a engineering major that would pay big but also fit my passion, got the job I wanted, and have constant work lined up for me for the next 5 years. I got very lucky at the university betting game. If I hadn't gotten into college or decided to drop out when I had to take an semester off due to grades, I probably would have decided to try trade school.

Crypto is solving for a different part of the problem. Middleman authorities like banks, governments, and payment providers are able to limit, freeze, hold, confiscate, reroute to law enforcement at their discretion. Crypto aims to remove the middleman. It's not trying to solve payments. It's solving for independence.

I'll also take the opportunity to say thank you, for creating Redis. I tried Redis when it first came out, mostly just experimenting with it. I had not used it in production for many years and have recently made aggressive use of Redis 5 as a diverse caching layer, replacing Memcached among other things. It has simplified my service infrastructure and it has been super reliable. It's delightfully easy to use. Probably my favorite software to work with right now.

This argument is missing one important part. The prevalence of student loans has caused the cost of education to skyrocket, pushing it even further out of reach. So now even people who previously afforded higher education need to get loans. It’s a self-fulfilling system.

If you want to see what corporations are actually starting to use public blockchains for, check out the keynote from the EY blockchain conference last week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ycu5vGDdZw&t=14m

Are they getting real income from Apple TV+? It launched Nov 2019 and they offered 1 year free (if you bought a qualifying device).

They also still only have 16 PCI-E lanes from the CPU, which is disappointing. Ryzen's 20 isn't exactly lavish, but it's enough for the pair of x16 for the GPU + x4 for the primary NVME drive.

Your contract has this weakness: "an affirmative vote of the Members holding a majority of the issued Units". Instead of a majority, it should have been "100% of the issued Units". In your set up, any group holding 51% of Units can change whatever they want.

This sparked a couple thoughts:

1) I recently learned from a friend about Manly P. Hall's[1] 1928 book "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" which delves a bit into people like Ernest Holmes, Emma Curtis Hopkins about doing things around a framing of doing "for good".

2) Venkatesh Rao recently wrote[1] about Andreesen's "It's time to build" piece and tried to explain what he think it really meant as now being a time for a "Macro Rebuild" and foundational changes to happen after earlier phases of tool-making, alternative-building, and disruption.

Good statistics about the current install base rather than market share are hard to come by. The Steam Hardware Survey is a decent source when you're looking at desktop PCs, because there's pretty strong overlap between desktop PC users and gamers. Slightly more than 25% of machines measured by the Steam survey don't support AVX2, which means they're pre-Haswell on the Intel side or pre-Excavator on the AMD side, or a newer but low-end Intel model. (Those recent low-end Intel chips that have AVX2 disabled also tend to have Turbo Boost disabled.) It's plausible that Sandy Bridge and earlier may still account for 10+% of gaming desktops.
What good points?

1)Duh. Green power (except nuclear) cant just scale whenever it is needed, sun is there during the day only, wind is there when wind is there, etc. Why is this even an issue? Over time green power and power storage technologies will get cheaper and flexible, allowing us to use green power as higher and higher percentages of our power needs.

2) Who ever said that green power hardware had some magical resistance to wear and obsolescence? Obsolescence is great because it means newer hardware works better and can have lower environmental impacts.

3) Something that’s been a mainstream topic for over 50 years, so what’s the point? what’s their and your solution?

> Bankruptcy isn't a magic "Get Out Of Jail Free" card.

Except that it is in this case. The order of operations is:

1. Take out student loan

2. Graduate

3. Get a job, spouse, mortgage, and new car

4. Declare bankruptcy to discharge student loans

5. Profit

The order of steps 3 and 4 are critical. Your car and house are collateral for their respective loans, so they don't go away when you declare bankruptcy. Since you have a house and new car, you typically don't need good credit for the 5-7 years it takes before people will start loaning you money at reasonable rates again.

This isn't some theoretical pattern. It's what people actually did. Especially doctors, because they could often qualify for nice mortgages while still in residency ("doctor loans").
There's no such thing as anonymized when it comes to data tracking. "Anonymized" tracking itself is gaslighting.

The only bearing family income has is whether you get the lower subsidized rate or not. Anybody can get unsubsidized loans.
If that idea interests you, you may also find it worthwhile to consider the more general case of ideologies. Ideologies are parasite-like and replicate, seek hosts, defend themselves against other ideologies, etc. Ideologies often have less-palatable ideas lumped together with generally-agreeable ideas to aid in defensibility, express identity (through group membership) and so much more. I take governments to be expressions of particular (or collections of) ideologies.
