Just because the americans are lobbying to make piracy as a concept a thing doesnt mean that european countries all have anti-piracy laws.
LLC to C-Corp is easy and inexpensive.

There can be huge tax consequences of going the other way around, though.

I've been involved in several startups which enjoyed favorable tax treatment as an LLC, and then converted to a C-Corp upon the first round of outside financing.
Avionics have certainly changed a lot, but basic aircraft structures and controls have been almost stagnant for decades (and most of the places they aren't static are largely related to electronics--even if you're lucky enough to have a FADEC running your engine, it's still controlling hardware that largely dates to the '50s or so).
You may be correct that it is not possible to satisfy the "mob". However, I don't think the mob exists in a vacuum. It seems to me that, at least to a degree, the mob and social unrest are a symptom of a society and democracy that as broken down and that is not working for people. In order to stop it, I think you need to restore people's confidence that the system is working for them.
Twitter is such an annoying format for this sort of content
Nothing I've read about Warhol's interior life has ever suggested that he was some kind of subversive Diogenestic visionary - peering into the cold dead abyss of Anerican capitalism. This reputation has come from subsequent readings of his work, which have been cheered on by the opportunists of his estate. Nothing more Warholian than that, I suppose.
It also has a completely predictable plot and many deux ex machinas to get our heroine out of a hopeless jam. Its plot is similar to Stephen King's "The Long Walk" which is a far better (and grimmer) book.
This.

And also, there are a myriad of these "old" companies that would band together to fight this. The MPAA is an example of companies within an industry banding together.
Eh the attitude of my friends is why dissuade goog from wasting more money on quantum research.

My wife's name is Karen, and I've teased her about it over the past 6 months and she's kept mum about it.

She finally admitted to me that it gets on her nerves greatly and she resents all of it. It came as quite a shock to me (because I find I lot of it funny) but I suspect there are a lot of Karens out there that aren't amused.

The kiddos and I have now resorted to calling her "K-Dog" which she gets a kick out of.
Distances are much larger in Alaska though, I'd think, which means that electric aircraft will struggle.

Switzerland has 8.5m people on 41k km^2, while Alaska has 0.7m people on 1500k km^2.
Consider that your cost of living may be dramatically higher in the US and what you can do with what you have left over may not leave you any better off.

Certainly, you're not talking about working in the Bay Area because a $115K total compensation is borderline impossible to live on anywhere between SF and SJ.

Your thinking could be right, however I would say it depends heavily on where you're living now and where you plan on moving to. 70K CAD in Ottawa or Montreal is going to get you infinitely further than 115K USD in SF or SJ. You'd probably need closer to 200K in SF to match that lifestyle.

Instead of comparing your $70K CAD salary at home by converting to $52K USD at market exchange rates, you should adjust it via purchasing power parity (as you are looking to figure out how far your new pay would take you in your new home relative to what you have now -- not make a purchase in the other country with foreign money). $70K CAD, adjusted for PPP is $75K USD. If you did the same notional conversion for $115K USD in San Francisco (where real estate is 7X the national average price per square foot) you'd probably wind up at $50K.

Now if you're planning to save money and send it home, that's different.
I find people that self describe as Engineering leaders disturbing
Twas a forced resignation.

I don't want to get too down into the weeds as my point is that people and the media have a big influence on what science gets done and what is career limitting. That said:

Most of the "case" was nonesense, with the actual letter (which had a fraction of the signatures of the counter-letter) being mostly guilt by association.

> Hsu personally promoted their study as relevant to George Floyd's killing and/or the subsequent protests. But George Floyd wasn't shot and the protests were about more than fatal shootings.

It was relevant because Floy was a police killing. Racial bias in police killings (the vast majority are with guns) was the main thing the protestors I've heard were protesting.

Googler here. Yes, in my team we have a colleague that is spending one day a week trying to solve a particular problem we have with a completely novel approach. He had an idea after we presented what we are up to in one of our Org summit. Furthermore, it is really a streamlined process, ie you only need your manager approval.

All of these may be true. They're not necessarily a reason to leave.
I don't think you read all of my comment. 2020 is absolutely the beginning of a decade. So is 2021. It's just not the same decade.
Apple USA and Apple China are, in a sense, different companies, even if they're owned by the same shareholders. If they're manufacturing for the USA market in China, it gives China leverage over Apple USA and not just Apple China.
I see. Well that seems to mostly talk about physical property. That makes sense - there is one thing, it takes effort to make more, and only one person can have it at a time.

Many people have a problem with equating "theft" to intellectual property since the concept doesn't map directly. If I make a dining table, I shouldn't have to hand it over to my country after a "limited" time (life of the creator plus 70 years now, isn't it?). But perhaps other people should be able to create similar looking tables after a while, to help advance any new techniques or artistic styles used. Ideas can be used while still belonging to the creator.

If I try to block that cultural evolution with a license of some kind, I think I'm doing a disservice to the culture that helped me create the table.

Anyway, does that still relate to the article? Probably not, I was replying more to the concept that everything is made in isolation so full control should be kept. As a society we already decided that doesn't always apply to IP which books are definitely part of. If we aren't careful in separating the concepts of products and ideas, then we get tractors we aren't allowed to fix.

Having an underlying disorder that can be treated with pharmaceuticals and other approaches working aren't mutually exclusive.

Perhaps everybody struggling with anything has a yet-unknown condition that could be treated with drugs.

Yet based on how we act, even with a handicap, our outcomes will vary widely.
The idea that the person "needs to construct stronger arguments" seems to put the blame on the person with foresight when circumstances can vary a lot.

If their reasoning was presented initially and matches up with what was the cause of the problems, then yes, they did tell you so and you should probably take note. Otherwise you're letting yourself or other managers off the hook every time. The culture should support feedback and input from both directions.

If an engineer did try to warn but didn't communicate that clearly, then I would see that as an area where (if I were a manager) we could see a tangible benefit by helping this person improve their communication skills. Improving communication skills isn't something a person does in a vacuum but within an environment that facilitates constructive feedback.

Dismissing previous warnings by default using this reasoning seems contrary to a so-called "data-driven" culture, and a great way to build miscommunication into a culture.
Having 3 children:
There is no magic secret. Sometimes you do great at something and sometimes you fail.

- read the book “Baby Wise”

- home is much more important than work or money. Do Not forget this.

- you wife will have a lot going on physically, mentally, and emotionally. Take as much of the “burden” as you can when the baby is first born.

- Do Not forget weekly date nights. I repeat...make sure you ALWAYS have weekly date night with your spouse. The child and your marriage will thank you for this.

- your wife has A LOT going on with her during pregnancy. Tell her daily that you love her, appreciate her, and thank her for being your wife. And...tell her she is beautiful every day - this is important.

- Your life will get A LOT busier. Share the house chore, and make time for each other.

- Children are a lot easier to raise compared to managing your marriage with a child.

- and last...have FUN! They grow SO FAST!

The issue of “use simpler words” is important: average reading age in U.S. is 7th grade. I have seen suggestions that indicate 5th grade reading level is the best benchmark to use.
I would suppose that longer the period, the weirder / dangerous the alien species are to us.

Think about some highly intelligent reptile predator species, with a taste for mamal meat.

Yeah, the creeps are there.

I think not everyone - not anyone - would be kind of having much of fun discovering we are not alone, in that case.
It is no problem at all - I'm glad this is helpful.

You are on the right track. I'd speculate there are memories from your childhood that could be the root cause of it.

It will take time for things to change. To figure out what is going on and to listen to the messages from your body, but things will get better for you.

It took around 2 years for me (with reading and therapy) to make significant progress, but I had to exist in a world where some of the people who created the original issues were in my life still and were very unsupportive of my new revelations, which made the process harder than it needed to be. The process isn't over for me yet, but the hardest part is over with the PEM disappearing and depression abating.

Please drop me an email (email in profile) sometime, I'd be keen to know how you get on and what you learn.
I thought it corrodes if scratched and left submerged, like rust spots on utensils in the dishwasher. Something about the chromium not having the proper environment to form an oxide layer, before the iron.
Yeah, it's counter-intuitive, but you should turn Virtual Memory on even if you set it down to 1MB. Also make sure the Disk Cache is set as high as you can go.

https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=forums...

"If you disable virtual memory, the system's MMU is disabled. When that happens:

- Every program you launch needs to be 100% loaded from disk when you launch that program, which could cause program launches to take longer, particularly applications which are themselves large. The impact of this will vary based on the speed of the disk or network volume the application file resides on

- The other thing that will happen is all applications will instantly take up their maximum possible RAM allocation, which even in 768, if you're running 9-era stuff, especially anything creative, could have a big impact."

That's why I recommended RAM Doubler since it allows you to disable VM and its own memory compression without hitting this limitation.

What was especially cool was how older (pre-SDRAM) PowerBooks persisted files in RAM Disk across reboots. You could copy a minimal System, your documents, and an app (tiny ones like Word 5.1a), reboot off the RAM Disk, then eject and spin down the internal HDD for a big battery life boost!
> Your “I told you so” only highlights that you need to construct stronger arguments.

Often you raise an issue, which is ignored or underprioritized. Later, priorities may shift from upper management, to make it an actionable argument. Rarely do you get credit or a career boost (promotion, raise, addtl responsibility, etc) from the alignment of concerns.

eg Company wants to cut costs. Using AWS can save 60%. Company doesnt want to use AWS because they compete with Amazon. New president oks AWS to save cost next quarter. I told you so gets you nothing.
I'm not surprised this can be abused - I emailed Amazon a few years ago about a pair of headphones asking if they could do anything as the manufacturer wouldn't honour the warranty (part of the serial number was illegible IIRC), 18 months after purchase (they had a two year warranty). I was expecting them to, at best, send a replacement. They sent me a full refund before I'd even sent the item back, even though the price of the item had dropped in the mean time.
To address the question, bad reviews can affect popularity based on how things are listed and sorted online. If a restaurant has bad reviews then it will be lower on the list when sorted by average review. This will affect their popularity by not being as visible, and possibly the poor reviews affecting people’s desire to eat there.

I personally don’t go online and immediately sort by restaurants with 1 or 2 stars. I tend to sort by those with higher ratings.

Fake bad reviews by competitors and mean spirited people do know their actions have an affect on that business.
VTOL seems like a difficult thing to get right, the military still has issues w the osprey although the design here is quite removed from that. wishing them the best.
> Who wants to have a mortgage on a house that is going down in value every year?

The problem is not the declining value of the house, it's that the borrower's income is declining.

To a first approximation, inflation is rising wages relative to the goods and services bouoght with them.

Deflation means falling wages, which makes it progressively harder and harder to pay back loans, so people are less and lesss willing to take on debt.

Falling ability to repay also increases risk to lenders making them less willing to lend and causing them to demand higher rates and shorter terms, reducing both investment and consumption.

> just holding onto the money generates returns

No. No, it doesn't. To generate a return, it must be used for investment or lent (ultimately) to someone who invests.

Deflation also disincentivises investment directly (besides lender unwillingness): your market will have less and less disposable income over time, so the expected value of investment declines and the risks go up. So the business case hurdle for investment gets higher and higher.

Deflation is a reinforcing feedback spiral to zero for capitalism. Inflation at about 3% - 4% per year seems to be optimal.
My pet theory is that the universe isn't expanding. Rather, all the objects in the universe are shrinking. If your ruler is shrinking then it looks like space is expanding. /:-)
One can often take these to your manager or your team retrospective, and ask questions, turning it around to be forward-looking:

"During planning, I expressed my concerns that [bad thing that happen] might happen. Is there something I do to raise this matter more effectively in the future? Do we need to improve communications more generally?"
The best "I told you so" is the silent kind.

An "I told you so" is always preceded by a challenge to your authority. The other person should have had reason to believe that you knew what you were talking about, but they foolishly ignored you.

But saying those words turns YOU into the jerk.

It's much, much better to have other people around you judge the situation for themselves and make the determination that you were right.

Even if nobody actually says that you were right and they were wrong, in a healthy organization your respective track records will be noted.
The link I'm talking about is literally the hyperlink in the text "nothing more than a simple link". It leads to a file titled "speed-2020-07-21-16-10-44-map.html" which I assume is meant to be the output.
In some ways yes. It seems to me that democracy requires those in power to have a healthy fear that if the government doesn't work for their constituents then they might overthrow it.

Jefferson said:

"what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants"

Granted I'm not trying to make some extreme, tough guy statement that the current situation is equivalent to a revolutionary war. I just mean that to some degree that is how a democracy works.
Sometimes the best thing that could possibly happen is something not working. How many times did Twitter bump up against its inability to scale on the way to being successful? (Yes, maybe a bad example.) What if someone had said, “Oh it’s never going to scale, we shouldn’t do this“? History has shown that if there is a need or a desire, people will find a way to satisfy it. There are good problems to have and bad problems to have – make sure you are not on the side of trying to avoid having good problems.
> the left and the right my opinion are missing the key points on freedom (the left suppressing and labeling, the right militarizing).

If I had to choose between “cancel culture” versus militarized violence, cancel me any day.
I'll look after it for you.
I just use a dedicated email address for newsletters. Easy as a separate iOS Mail account, read from the mail app.

Works well and I sort of find it calming having an email address that only gets (so far anyway) a handful of emails a day, that I signed up for. The only problem is it doesn't save your reading place in the email if you navigate to read another email.
The Several Million Dollar Bug (2014)
What are the problems with email? For me, it seems that having internal mailing lists that anyone can subscribe to (sometimes needing approval, like ceo-staff@) allows for structured topical threaded discussions that are archive able and searchable.

Other than one-off q&as, I don't understand why email isn't still the best thing we have?
There may have been some inside theft / collusion going on with employees.

Example: Employee takes a rice cooker off the shelf, puts high value electronics (memory, processors, etc) inside, reseals it with shrink wrap. He tells his friend on the outside to buy the rice cooker to smuggle it out. They then split the proceeds.

This probably goes on for weeks until the store wonders why they're suddenly selling so many rice cookers, but are already running low on Pentium Pros and 32 meg SIMMs.
I think the idea that people are the same no matter what the rules are just isn't true. It stated as though it is obvious and I need evidence that that is the case. The rest of the argument falls apart based on that point.
I personally feel like websites will win the war against native mobile apps in the long run.

I read a while ago that Steve Jobs never wanted the idea of an App Store on iOS, as he believed webapps and web based services would evolve naturally without any added infrastructure, whereas an App Store would require extreme development effort and infrastructure from Apple.

Obviously he was wrong, and the App Store exploded once it was added.

However, I believe long term his idea is correct, it was just wrong timing. Webapps have only gotten more and more powerful as time has gone on, and they do not require any explicit download from the user and can be updated automatically by the developer. More and more access to the devices physical resources is slowly being added as the years go on, and it’s only a matter of time until more and more are added.

I will admit for scenarios like games or resource intensive computing where access to bare metal is necessary, I’m not sure webapps will be able to fill that void. But for most everything else I see the web as a the future, while mobile apps are the temporary means to an end while browser APIs and capabilities catch up
Checking weight makes sense, maybe that’s why more than one person received an emergency blanket in an ssd box. Someone discovered it weighed about the same as the ssd.
Linux works too.
An acre would be quite very large (:)), but if it has water and the possibility to have it being checked form free stealers, I would do synergistic agriculture.

The mapping tool outputs a single html file, that relies on stuff from other servers. But all they have to deal with is the single file (if you view source, the exercise data is stored in the file).

It's really not an interesting discussion. Maybe they could have used a better description, but it's not confusing or particularly misleading.

Feedback for New Local Marketplace
I launched a marketplace for local advertisement. The idea is that locals, sport teams, billboard owners and so on can create an account on my marketplace. In the description they are pointing out what they would do to market your business (i.e.if Person: hand out flyers, being a human billboard or just wearing a t-shirt with your brand name on it; Hobby soccer Team: wearing the t-shirts with your brand on play-day). A local billboard owner can also create a profile. Even a wedding party could post their wedding day and look for sponsors. Every profile can add more than one "ad-space". With posting here we hope to get some feedback on our marketplace. Let me know what you think.

There's a subtype he doesn't mention but I think deserves notice and is especially pertinent to today's environment. That is, the conventionally-minded who is convinced they are die-hard independently-minded.

People like this come across by chance doctrine which appeal to a special part of themself, be it religious, political, or social doctrine. They hardily embrace the newfound doctrine and denounce others as having fundamentally the wrong framework of thinking. They come across like-minded people and make blanket statements against their detractors and constantly reformulate the perception of their ideology to be in the right.

In one sense, they believe themselves to be highly individualistic because they go against what they perceive to be the overall grain of society. This lends them conviction.

But in reality, their beliefs are not actually contrarian or minority beliefs, and these people would never had nurtured these beliefs or had the courage to actually publicly express them without the implicit support of some large chunk of society.

I believe this to be the reality today. So many people are deluded in thinking they are the small, under-represented, minority, oppressed group when they actually function as the oppressors to people who are sincerely independently-minded.

And when one who is independently-minded sees another who is deluded they are independently-minded, but in reality is aggressively-conventional, we cannot help but notice the hypocrisy.
