I considered the Stripe Atlas route because I wanted someone to handle things for me & make it easy.

I ended up finding a friend recommended accountant who could handle my taxes & help me setup everything.

An option I didn't know about that seems to work out really well for tiny 1 or 2 person startups not looking to raise money is a LLC taxed as an S-Corp.

I would recommend both finding a good accountant (or 2) and having them help you set it all up with you. This way you have a person you can bounce questions off of throughout the year.

Another item I learned. Pick your bank wisely. A lot of people were left high & dry for a long time when looking to get the PPP loan this year. You need a bank that's actually going to care about you and doesn't think you're not worth their time. I heard a lot of people who couldn't get a hold of their bank & the bank didn't return their calls.

Also don't expect anyone to loan you money for a mortgage or personal reason until after running the business for 2 years. Your income won't be counted, no matter what to most banks.

The USA has a lot of hurdles & pains if you want to run a business but once you cross the moat, it can be much better than being a W-2 employee for someone else.
> I don't see them as market participant

But they are. There are competing apps to Apple's own apps on the App Store. Apple Music is an obvious example, but there's also web browsers, email clients, calendar clients, cloud storage, etc. Through their "market regulation" and using privileged APIs, they can artificially hold competitors back from reaching or surpassing parity of said competing apps.

Their "regulation" has forced all web browsers to use Safari on the backend without the benefits of things like content blockers. Their "regulation" has forced all apps to not be able to cut off a trial if they cancel the subscription renewal while hypocritically doing just that for things like Apple Arcade and Apple TV if you cancel the subscription before the trial is over. Their "regulation" has blocked out any competition to Apple Arcade like xCloud or Stadia. Their "regulation" has, until iOS 14 (still in a limited fashion), kept any other app from being a default and if those stock apps are deleted, annoy users to the point of reinstalling them due to popups when tapping an email address, date/time, or street address.

These are all ways that they secure their spot above the competition on their own devices and hold progression back until they're ready to implement competitive features (read: probably when competition starts poaching users from them despite the disadvantages they impose on said competition).

A participant in the market, which they most certainly are, should not be regulating that market and also profiting off of that regulation. This is how a manufacturer of only 3 types of devices is the most valuable company in the world. I can't think of any other company that has an entire market, or at least the size of App Store market, completely enveloped under their reign.
I don't know what he wanted to achieve and what were his options at the time. Until I know that, I suspend my judgement.

Anyway, he did not make disappear coral as a species, did he?

Please do not confuse nature protection with sentimentalism. There are very serious environmentalist jobs whose description is "destroy all the cats on this island".

Just to precise, there is none of this kind of cruelty in his films. What he transmitted to generations of children (and still does) is respect and fascination of nature in all its beauty and complexity.

I don't know what you saw about sharks, but what I saw as a child was Cousteau's team filming sharks from inside special cages, and even outside the cages in the open, with special canes he designed to keep them at distance without killing them. If he ever had cruelty towards sharks, he had also compassion, and this is the compassion bit that reached me.
> I really enjoy listening to people's anger ranting why its not really art, or why anyone could do that, etc. If art is intended to garner a reaction - Pollock accomplishes that in spades.

What's the difference between art and trolling? Is trolling a art to you?

Also: Piss Christ

If art is meant to provoke a response, art which provokes death threats must be the greatest art of all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_Christ

> Gallery officials reported receiving death threats in response to Piss Christ.

Also, knowing what we know about what Pell was getting up to, this must be the greatest work of irony-as-art yet:

> During a retrospective of Serrano's work at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in 1997, the then Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, George Pell, sought an injunction from the Supreme Court of Victoria to restrain the National Gallery of Victoria from publicly displaying Piss Christ, which was not granted.
Uh, arresting Kim Dotcom has absolutely nothing to do with the ethics of DRM. If anything, successful prosecution of illegal file-sharing operations reduces the economic incentives to put DRM in place.

A lot of people have gotten life-changingly rich from crypto investments. Bitcoin is already the best performing asset class of all time, and has minted plenty of millionaires.
I think people using Cydia had a pretty good idea of what they were doing.
I hate the vessel used for this article and would prefer it to be not something 2 clicks away from spending money. That said, I thought the article's upsides outweighed the possible downsides here, thus making it worth sharing.
It never worked very well on the DSi—which is a shame, since I really liked the game that used it (Looksley's Line Up). The DSi camera is really low resolution (0.3 Megapixel). I've never seen it ported anywhere else, and I don't know if any emulators will run it. (It will run on the 3DS, but the camera is in a different place, and the camera placement is pretty essential to how the game works).
Great response, thank you! It seems I'm rubbing you the wrong way, or not understanding you well enough to respond in a way that encourages conversation, and that's crap. I'm sorry.

> And where he concludes "Overall the Agile family and the methods that emphasize speed have achieved their goal, and they are fairly quick. The methods that emphasize quality such as TSP, RUP, and CMMI 5 have also achieved their goals, and deliver very few defects. No single method appears to be a universal panacea that can be successful on every size and kind of software application."

This article must be taken in the context of his research in general. If you're optimizing for speed of initial delivery, rather than TCO, then any method with less planning delivers faster and costs less. However, if you assume your software lasts longer than ~year (as pointed out in my initial reference, and his much larger work "The Economics of Software Quality") then they perform much worse. The actual payoffs in most of his research is around 8 months of development.

Being "quick" is basically a jab from Jones about agile project quality.

> You're not even willing to consider that planning too far ahead can waste time and that planning does not optimize for speed.

I'm willing to consider it, I think. My experience has shown the opposite for any project involving more than 1 person that a customer uses for more than a year. The research I can find shows me the same. Most projects I embark on tend to live in the market for longer than a year, and thus quality, TCO, and delivering on time matter.

I guess I don't see how you manage a team, a project, a customer, or investors where you need to hire people based on work you need to do, if you're only planning out a few weeks at a time. I don't see any case where you're going to get VC funding, exec sponsorship, etc (i.e. manage the risk and expectations of capital) by saying "we'll see where we are in two weeks".

This is where I start to fall into saying things about professionalism, as to me the difference between a professional and an amateur is exactly this capital and risk management.
> Zone files aren't an interchange format.

Oh yes they are. It’s an everyday occurence to export a zone from one name server to standard “master zone file” format and then import that into another name server running some other software DNS implementation. Having a standardized file format for machine-readable DNS data is extremely useful.

It’s also used as an interchange format between people, so that people can talk about DNS data structure in technical detail without having to either send binary DNS data to each other or use some program-specific syntax, which might be misunderstood or be incomprehensible by users of some other program.

You might want to argue that it’s a bad format, and you should feel free to do that. However, to argue that the RFCs either are wrong and don’t exist, and the standard “master file” format somehow is some program-specific format, when the format is clearly and demonstrably used by most extant DNS servers (if only for import/export) and is useful for a number of things, is not productive discourse.
Seems like they are banning third party apps rather than encryption. It does talk about encryption but I think it's more because the encrypted data will be useless if your Synology NAS can no longer connect and decrypt it.
> if your IP address changes and your DNS needs to change along with it, a five-minute TTL is a very, very fine thing to have.

This is discouraged by both RFC 1912 and RIPE-203 (relevant for Europeans). Use a TTL of at least a few days (or more) if you know that you won’t be changing a DNS record anytime soon. It’s fine to have, say, an hour’s TTL for records you might want to change with little or no warning, and even five minutes is OK as a preparation for a specific scheduled change. But please don’t use a five minute TTL for all your DNS records as a matter of course!
I don't think I understand your first question, as I am unaware of any
mottos like that.

“Научился сам — научи товарища” is probably closer to “After learning
[something yourself], teach [your] comrade!”. You generally should not
translate “товарищ” as “friend”, as the former is something more
formal.
How closely are the sins related to the subject matter?

If an article were specifically about Antebellum architecture, some mention of slavery seems fairly reasonable. If an article were instead about snowboarding in America, mention of slavery is probably less expected.
> Using dig is as simple as specifying a server to query, the record type you want to look for, and the FQDN it should be associated with.

While this works, the canonical (documented) syntax is “dig <name> <type>”, i.e. “dig @127.0.0.1 example.tld NS”. Or, for safety when scripting, use the “-t <type>” and “-q <name>” options to avoid accidental ambiguity.
Do other Cloud providers allow encrypted content and data?
ah yes, I guess because the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster happened in Canada, the US shouldn't bother learning anything from it.
You can tell the media is desperate for anti-Trump material.

"Orange man bad; wants bomb trains."
How similar Jetpack Compose is to SwiftUI?
That's just not true. The Chinese don't consider themselves unfree, the CCP is very popular, and its approval rate has only increased in recent decades. Moreover, the US does not have a very good reputation around the world. Who envies their predatory health care system? Their high-cost system of education? Their oppressive police force? The world recognizes the failure of the US in providing for their citizens, "freedom" is ultimately just the excuse for society being the way it is.
> All of the groups that were named were quite prolific

Anecdotal, but: I've certainly heard of SPARKS, but literally never heard of GECKOS, DRONES, ROVERS or SPLINTERS.
> it is being done in broad daylight everyday all over the country because it only has meaning to the person being targeted.

I'm guessing you also believe that "gang stalking" is a thing:

It's not free if you're paying with data. I have no problems paying for apps that I use daily in exchange for not having my data sold off to the highest bidder.
Community contributed captions are going to be discontinued from YouTube
> "significant portion of the target audience does not want to pay for it"

This is true for most online content. For various reasons, content that's not music or video has an assumption of being free. Book publishing is not comparable.

> "90% of everything is crap"

Maybe, but everyone has a different 90% so there's no "average". Content is made to match demand and there's something for everyone.

> "mentally and emotionally manipulate them ... Advertising is immoral"

Everything is manipulation and influence. Recommending something to your friends is a form of advertising (and even officially called "word of mouth marketing"). I agree that advertising should have better safeguards since it's influence for a price, but calling it immoral gets into some strange philosophical territory that doesn't accomplish anything productive.
I"d think they were fleeing a city that refused to protect them from their own cops.
You could use the certificates to get in the door and use tuition assistance from the company to round yourself out. Google pays 2/3 for job-related coursework, 1/3 for personal improvement classes.
That argument doesn't make sense, because Apple isn't going to lower the sandboxing requirement for anyone, it's just going to provide an API to install an IPA. (Actually, that API already exists of course, they'll just remove the check that makes sure you're Apple when you call it.) Third parties' security practices have no bearing on how secure Apple makes their own platform–the parent comment is literally saying "Without review, publishing an app [that ships with a zero-day exploit for iOS] becomes trivial"
This is becuase amazon is moving to storing photos/videos only, not arbitrary files.
That quote was in reference to security, not quality.
I believe Deno links to dependencies directly so that you can still rely on old(er) versions, but not sure it would have helped in this case.
I would recommend F#.

I went from Ocaml to F# because I wanted better tooling and a much larger pool of available library (any .net library can be used from F#), I did not look back.

Both languages are close cousin but F#'s syntax feels a bit more streamlined at the cost of less powerful type inference (the type inference in Ocaml is a thing of beauty that I have not found elsewhere).
Thanks! To generate the geometry I first generate a bitmap image texture using fabric.js on the client side. I can then import this texture into blender and use it as a displacement map on a ring blank. I apply the displacement to the geometry and export as STL for 3d printing. Blender is scriptable so this can all be automated (although it isn't yet).

I do hope to add other jewelry types. My next idea is necklace pendants with silhouettes (I think new mothers would be the target audience there)

I have considered adding an upsell of a brass print so the customer can see how it looks and feels. I don't want to do plastics as they print using a different process and will have a different look. Brass is cheap enough that I think adding a $29 add-on to the gold or silver ring isn't too hard to swallow.

dude, american citizens don't get the death penalty without a trial. It's that simple. Even if they're murderous rioting attackers, or don't cooperate with police. Arbitrary killing, that is, killing without an open, fair trial, will cause greater problems than it solves.
Yeah, financial education should be considered a standard subject and taught all years of high school and all degrees, in my opinion. Far more important and practical than almost any other basic subject. Even more important than trying to teach everyone to code. Teach everyone how the financial systems work and principles of personal finance.
The internet explained from first principles
So, because some folks make it political, we shouldn't get facts about things like the HPV vaccine or the effects of birth control methods?

How, exactly, are folks (who are not versed in medicine) supposed to get this information from a trusted source?
It reads to me like "Wah, we can't do what we want anymore. Boohoo! However, we are working hard to find a way to get around the upcoming limitations."
I guess the "banning encrypted content" is coming from the instructions to decrypt and upload unencrypted content? It sounds to me more like they are providing these instructions because without Synology users would not have their encryption managed anymore, and so uploading encrypted data would result in losing the ability to access the data.

I don't see anything saying they are banning uploading, say, an encrypted ZIP file.
I probably won't because I don't maintain any ad blockers at this time, in my opinion if you really care about this as an attack vector it's better to just block javascript entirely. As I've said before this type of circumvention of ad blockers is not anything new and has been possible for years. The sites that really wanted to mess with your url filtering are already doing it, with or without web bundles.
Doesn’t this change simply require for the apps to ask for permissions to use this data? I’d gladly pay for an app vs. giving away all my info. I would assume there are people on the other side of the fence as well.
> We believe that industry consultation is critical for changes to platform policies

User consultation is more critical, but Facebook doesn't really have "users", per se - they have products.
My online banking experience in the latter 90s was quite good, at least at Charles Schwab.

No US bank has approached ANZ in New Zealand for modern conveniences however.
You'd rather sacrifice someone else's jobs for your ideals? What a fair, well considered trade. The freedom you see to seem to be looking for here is freedom from consequences, not actual freedom.

As always with the products other people are making, you have the choice to not buy them. That is actual freedom. Be careful making other's choices for them, it is closer to the governmental overreach you are against.
This is such a great idea and the pieces look fantastic. The price point seems right too, and I'm sure you'll get plenty of customers. Hopefully sometime in the future you can expand to bracelets or pendants, I think this market is overdue for something new.

I browsed through the site on my s9, and scrolling seemed to hang pretty badly, I'm guessing theres a bit too much going on client side.
Do you have a legal citation that it does? You are the one putting forward that its illegal.
A lot of the post-war abstractionists are treated that way by people. From de Kooning to Reinhardt to Yayoi Kusama, they all get dismissed for one thing or another but I think all of them have some unique stylistic choices that breathe life into their art, Kusama in particular. They aren't traditional or easy to love, in fact, they are much easier to just scoff at. But the artists put serious thought into each work and came in with an idea and a vision and, a lot of the time, they realized those in truly unique ways. Just because they're not "pretty" or "technically impressive" doesn't mean they're bad or aren't art.
Hm, what are you implying?
Hmm -- I wonder the legality around banning of encrypted data storage on the cloud (not clear if amazon is actually banning it here, but sort of smells like it could happen).. if they ban it, the basic implication would be that your data is somehow expected to be parsed / inspected / analyzed by some algorithm or the government etc. Are there providers out there that have tried to ban having encrypted data on their servers and thats considered ok in US / EU for example?
You can trade futures, even in many retirement accounts, sometimes with just a few thousand dollars in the account. Such futures can wipe out any amount of principal in as little time as you could wire money to a sketchy private investment.

Many of the people defending these 1930s-style regulations, as if these regs truly protected people from themselves, seem to also be stuck in a mid-20th-century view of what the investment & informational environment is like.

If someone is truly gullible & risk-seeking, any amount of capital can be destroyed in any number of legally-approved investments/gambles, almost instantly. The 'Accredited Investor' rules just lock the less-wealthy out of one small and not even especially risky corner - a place where the less-wealthy could potentially better-deploy local knowledge. So this old rule is now just paternalistic friction, without any real personal or systemic wealth protection.
The big problem with Concorde was that it wasn't allowed to fly supersonically over most land due to noise restrictions. Thus eg transcontinental US, where the time gain might have been quite attractive, was ruled out. The same issue combined with limited range also ruled out nonstop London-far east (Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo) or London-West Coast US. Are these issues likely to be any different now?

Also - not sure what you call Mach 1 class but the business jet market has a lot of planes which will cruise at eg Mach 0.93 or so - ie faster than airliners - and speed is valued in that market. If noise issues over land can be navigated successfully then I would expect there is a good market for supersonic business jets.
Given the state of student loans in the US I think there could be a fairly compelling argument that an MBA is indicative of a person’s inability to protect their wealth. Not all MBAs are created equal. Most of them aren’t worth the price and the few that are worth it have a lot more to do with the network and connections than the education.

Oh no! I hope any of my potential Hebrew speaking customers have positive experiences with chicken coops.
