Hey if this is exposed there can certainly be non profits who setup delivery systems like this with a goal of providing a service, getting paid, but not trying to keep growing and growing.

Cubase sucks a stiff one.
The definition of basic, necessary goods is extremely narrow in the US. Poor people still pay plenty of sales tax.
It’s bizarre that this is an extreme position. It underscores how far and extreme US politics has become that supporting people is viewed so negatively while bailing out multinational corporations goes without saying. Being too big to fail is a sign that a company should be busted up into smaller companies, but I digress...

I highly doubt startups would form around families just due to people getting one time large payments like 12k. If you have a family of 10 you’re going through 120k plenty quickly with just food, shelter, and other necessities. So much so that the money would have a huge multiplier effect at sustaining local demand for essential goods and services.

It's a consideration for sure, and it's why I use Apple devices instead of Google-powered ones, don't use Facebook, use DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine, etc.

I'm not worried about Apple selling my information (for now, given their current business model) but my network provider is absolutely doing this regardless of device. Given that, what actionable recommendation is even possible?
I would imagine that copyright infringement is difficult and expensive to both prove and defend in court.

I would suggest 2 things:

1) Speak directly with the investors. You have some type of relationship with them. Let them know what happened. Let them know that you're not releasing the IP. That you've gone through this process and your former co-founder who is both negotiating in bad faith and in their name.
I would imagine that the prospect of a costly lawsuit will force a resolution or they will pull funding. Even if you do not sue today, there is still time down the road. They could become successful and you can go after them then.

2) Go on with life. Start your company. Pick better co-founders. Become successful. Don't spend years of your life obsessed with something that didn't turn out.

These are hard learned lessons that I wish I knew 10 years ago.

I'm not the previous poster, but how about the Halting Problem? The defining feature is that you can't just simulate it with a Turing machine. Yet the proof is certainly understandable.
But nothing in this disclosure was unknown. As the article states, "Jarrah has been on the radar screen of the lawyers for the 9/11 families for some time and is among nine current or former Saudi officials who they suspect have important information about the case and have sought to either question them or get access to FBI documents that mention them."

There are no secrets in Washington, D.C., at least none that can last for years. All of this info leaked many years ago. The goal in formally censoring the details is simply to prevent legal action, and apparently officials across three administrations are convinced it would create too many diplomatic headaches. Without the official reports, these details are largely inadmissible hearsay in court, even if the whole world "knows".

At this point I'd be surprised if the FBI had any information not already publicly available. Though, the lawyers leading the civil lawsuit are probably some of the few people with an intimate knowledge of all the details, notwithstanding that the details are contingent on some unknowns.
I think the difference between MFC and WinForms, compared to Silverlight is that former are still widely used. albeit less than in the past with a lot more prevalence of web based applications.

Silverlight in other hand is a technology no modern web browsers support (in the same camp with gradually deprecated Flash and everything that requires plugins.), and perhaps to Microsoft it's a lot less justifiable to update it beyond security update.

Tech has been stymied by the fact that bandwidth has been constrained at 10Mbps or less for 2 decades. My 10 year old computer is more than powerful enough to handle any networking in the last decade. Without that impetus, there is nothing driving computers forward.

Every time we jump in consumer bandwidth by an order of magnitude, we launch some new technology that we couldn't even dream of before.
That would be nice of them but why would they if it's MIT licensed?
This is really hard to understand. The only way to prevent future incidents is to have a culture free of blame.

Your goal is to identify service impacts, do post mortems where no one is afraid to say something went wrong, and to improve processes to prevent future events. You can't do that if there is a culture of blame.
While the first half kind of threw me, your second half lined up with what I see. Im quite surprised you believe and state it more than once that NPR is right of center.

I agree that it has an unnecessarily downbeat take on the whole business. You can believe in science and evolution and have an "isn't it wonderful" attitude like say Feynman rather than the "We are survival machines – robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes" attitude of that book.

> My company already has Slack, HipChat and Teams, and it's a communications nightmare. People are constantly confused and asking for which chat client one manager uses, while others don't know where to go for the support channels.

I'm curious about how many people in the company are affected by these problems. Most developers and infrastructure people use the same communication tools, but perhaps support and sales may use their own tools. Given that, how often do developers and infrastructure need to communicate in real time with sales or support?

I would suspect that it's not often enough that email wouldn't work as a way to handle issues or open support tickets. Now managers have to deal with communications between their own team and other teams and parts of the org, but, in my opinion, having to deal with different chat platforms is part of their job and they should be the ones to deal with it rather than forcinng everyone to use the same platform, even if it's suboptimal for certain users.

> It sounds similar to Chalmers' position on information, except that Chalmers says there is a natural link between rich information and being conscious that is an additional law in addition to the physical ones.

I will apply Occam's razor to that additional law until there is evidence for it.

More generally, there is a straightforward physical possibility for explaining the subjective and personal nature of qualia, and other aspects of consciousness: our brains are not connected in such a way that language processing is capable of initiating all of the state changes that other sensory inputs can, and so we cannot communicate those state changes directly. This not only accords with our actual experiences, but it is probably just as well, or else we might find it (even) hard(er) to distinguish reality from imagination (and by "reality", I mean concrete, "that bear just noticed me", reality.)

One may, of course, take one's own Occam's razor to this idea, if you think physical constraints on information flow in a brain are less pausible than Chalmer's extra-physical link.
What's stopping someone from moving to SF for higher comp on hiring, then getting a P.O. box or friend's mailing address in SF and moving back to work from lower cost area after some time?

Is your employer really going to decrease your salary after the fact? Can you file taxes in your lower cost of living state after you lock in your high SF comp package and never notify your employer but still pay your taxes in the state you moved back to?

Note: I don't condone illegal behavior just thinking of edge cases that benefit us tech workers.

I work in FAANG and I am really not convinced this is the start of a trend.

First Twitter was already moving towards permanent WFH before the pandemic, it only accelerated their plans. I highly doubt (m)any other companies were also seriously considering that move before the pandemic.

Second, working in a remote only team is very different from working in an office, or even from occasionally working from home. I have seen the best managers get completely clueless when managing full remote people.

Third you lose a lot of things by going full remote. You can no longer have hallway conversations, sharing new ideas over lunch, trying to pitch new ideas organically. You lose a lot of spontaneity by going full remote, which I fully expect to impact innovation potential. Some of the best ideas in my group are things that came up from organic conversations that we have been productizing.

Fourth has to do with company culture. I can't speak for every company, but I know that at my company there is a very clear favoring people local to where the HQ is located, probably at least in part for the reasons above. I don't see that changing easily. East coast to West coast in the same team means you have 3 hours a day where you can't have your whole team available at the same time.

What I expect to happen is most likely much greater flexibility for companies that were not open about it before, but full time remote for everyone seems like a huge stretch even over several years.

At the end of the day there’s a pay band in HR and while COL may be 3x in SF than Oklahoma, but either it’s 600k in San Fran or 250k in Oklahoma, which is nearing physician’s pay in many smaller states. Pay will go up in smaller states and pay will come down in SF/SV areas. People in LCOL areas will make top end salaries in their respective geographic areas and will see the best quality of life improvement. $250k in Oklahoma is going to be much better quality of life than $600k in San Jose for some people who have a spouse and 2 kids. And then over time they can hire a lot more people at 200-250k rather than 600k.

> Why does $HOT_TECHBRO_STARTUP invariably choose to locate its offices in the ultra-tight real estate and labor markets of SF, NYC or Austin

Because it's cool and the $TECHBRO wants to live somewhere cool.

As for those of us doing engineering instead of $TECHBRO software:

Because I can't drive 10 minutes to go talk to my PCB assembler in the lab to help figure out something that is failing.

Because I can't have a realtime chat with my injection molder in front of the machine about the fact that my last order was crap so let's make some adjustments.

Because I don't have a choice of colocation facilities which have different connectivity guarantees.

Because I can't go grab lunch with a friend who happens to also do RF design, drug development, mechanical engineering, etc. and pick their brains (and vice versa).

Outsourcing is only useful when you're in production (and I'd argue it's less useful than people think). If I'm doing engineering R&D, I tend to insource as much as possible and keep the rest local where I can keep an eye on it.

This software got me through a really rough hurdle in my earlier years. Had to automate data capture from an accelerometer on a Windows machine. You could only initiate the intended capture from a UI, so automating this for an assembly line testing jig was going to be a real hassle if not for AHK.

All of them are completely fine with different view points.

For example Hinduism is too broad, it literally accepts everything.

For Ex:
There is only one God, there are many gods, there is no God.
One can be an atheist and be a good Hindu.
You need to pray to god, you shouldn't pray to god.

But there is an unification among all Indian religions. For ex: All religions go in search of God/Truth.

Any how, Bhagavadgita, should rather be looked up-on like a more of philosophical text rather than religious book.

So but really though. Why even list on these apps if they aren’t profitable? What leverage do delivery apps have if a restaurant tells them to go away?

Like it would be quite the sales pitch “join our platform and lose money!”
Ordering for delivery often requires extra packaging and extra handling. Items that can all be thrown together in a single plate may need to be put into separate containers, which takes extra time in the kitchen. Probably they are also missing upsell opportunities on higher-margin goods (how many people are ordering alcohol, desserts, or just drinks in general for delivery?)

I honestly don't know how much that all adds up to -- and weighed against it are some cost savings, certainly.

But I've never really got the impression that the restaurant business is a high-margin business where they make hand over fist, so my default position isn't "oh, another greedy cash grab for those fat cat restaurateurs" but more "eh, probably they've run the numbers and this extra $1/order is what they need to stay afloat when doing delivery".
Sounds like India's 'push against tech event'

The same around early 2000s where suddenly there were a large amount of surplus programmer and even my parents social circle which is about 3 level removed from any programming start talking about this 'surplus' and how starting a programming career or major is a bad choice.

Tech is still the biggest job creator and the best paying job for what we do. It's easy to be shortsighted over a couple of months about what you don't understand or can't do well, but this world is clearly marching towards an more autonomous future.

That's 300 billion dollars every month... And that's for only 150 million adults...(there's a lot more than that)

It's estimated to have cost about 3 Trillion dollars for the Iraq war, a 17+ year conflict[1].

At $300 billion a month (on the extreme low end), that's $3 Trillion every 10 months.

Put another way - we could fund another 17+ year long armed conflict every 10 months at that rate.

The entire 2021 federal budget is projected to be around 4.8 Trillion... and they estimate they'll only bring in
$3.8 Trillion in revenue.

Disregarding that your projection is grossly innacurate, how is this something we can do?

"priced in" does not mean the market is perfectly valuing these assets. They can still be overvalued or undervalued. What it means is these assets have had a price movement in line with investor sentiment: meaning buying on this news isn't going to be a "play" anymore. It doesn't mean you should avoid these assets, just that you should be aware that there were already movements in these assets because of expected Fed action. Meaning this was "priced in."

Retail shopping has gone through a similar evolution, so it might be a source of inspiration for how to make online food delivery more successful. Today, retail customers have the same, or an analogous, list of wants. When e-commerce first emerged, a similar 99.9 of retailers were similarly incapable of meeting those demands.

Simply handling disputes is enough to bury any retailer who doesn't learn how to handle it. If it doesn't consume their money, it will consume their time.

I have a very small side business, and have handled the above needs by working exclusively through PayPal. Also, I have enough of a mark-up to cover disputes. It's kind of ironic, but to survive in business, you have to be comfortable with somehow letting your customers pay for your mistakes.
