I had a scenario a bit like this, but not involving any of the states you mention above. So long as I didn't have business nexus (IE: an office, employees, etc) that would come on the radar of the state, it was all clean according to my accountant and lawyer - but there's the rub in that if you have those kind of multi-state issues, you'd better have at least one lawyer and at least one accountant who know those jurisdictions and can actually answer this question.
When some people learn to drive they can take courses with instructors who sit in the passenger seat and have a brake pedal. When the student driver runs over and kills a pedestrian while the instructor is on their phone, is it the instructor or the student who should face liability? Why not both?
I still find it strange you can manage a booking with just a reference and name. About ~5 years ago someone I follow on twitter posted their boarding pass and I replied to them with a screen shot asking if I should cancel the booking. They removed their post and I removed mine. But all it took was the reference on the boarding pass and their last name...

Post 2007's run, the Consumer Financial Protection Board was specifically established federally to regulate exactly the area of consumer protection in respect to financial services.

Protecting the stability of the banking system, which is inherently unstable (borrowing short, lending long) is a requirement for defending the value of a nation's currency and national debt.

Protecting consumers from predatory financial practices is not the same sort of regulatory requirement and shouldn't be regulated by the same people.

The CFPB is similar to the FDA, it protects consumers from predatory producers. That's completely different to the Fed/OCC protecting the banking system.

For the OCC to say that part of their scope is "providing fair access to financial services" is regulatory overreach and scope creep. There's a reason they're called the Comptroller of the Currency.

I think this is a lesson lots of early AJAX/client-side coders should be forced to learn. When you do a `SELECT * FROM` and return the entire result, that data is visible on the client end in full detail (if you're familiar with how to use the browser's dev tools that is). Maybe you only make some of that data visible to the user in the UI, but the data you didn't use is still part of that AJAX return. Only send to the browser the data you actually need!
To add, making the version part of the namespace is the right thing to do, also because it avoids conflicts with transitive dependencies. Changing the namespace means that the same project can depend on multiple different major versions of the same library.

And that's fine, because when you break compatibility, you're actually not talking about the same library. And this makes upstream developers think twice about breaking compatibility. Accretion of features should be preferable to breakage.

But it also wouldn't make business sense for Amazon to hang their hat on ARM without assurances or contractual guarantees that they can keep selling ARM chips for a reasonable price into the future.

My partner and I just had a very similar conversation as she has several business ventures that she could continue to conduct as a sole proprietor, or she could form a corporate vehicle.

My thinking is - if you are engaged in an ongoing concern, especially if it is responsible for your livelihood, it makes so much sense to explore incorporation of some variety. This could be for no other reason than to split out business vs personal finances and records. As you explore various financing, tax, and legal scenarios though, the cost to form and keep an LLC (or then choose S-corp taxation...) make it completely worth the administrative overhead.

I agree that sacrifice can be evidence of love and compassion. I would go a step further and argue that sacrifice is requisite for these things, especially in their highest forms.

Sacrifice exposes what is important to a person—both to external observers as well as the individual in question. A marital relationship—for example—requires immense sacrifice on both spouses’ sides for it to work out. Without sacrifice, affection wanes.

I don’t think sacrifice necessarily equals suffering. Sometimes it can. But based on my experience, when the sacrifice is made willingly and for a good cause, it serves more as a source of joy that I can get outside myself and aid someone in need.

Now, waisted or senseless sacrifice—yes, that doesn’t make much sense. I see a distinction between the two, but that could just be me. Does that make sense?

It comes from the same pocket. The scale of charitable donations is usually inversely proportional to tax rates and redistribution in a country.

Just for the record, California is way off the curve here. Most states have an LLC fee of $50/yr or less (and 9 have none) making it a more reasonable proposition in those places.

I'm not sure I'd pay that much for the benefits of an LLC in California, but I'd certainly pay $8 in NY or $0 in Texas.

No, that is not the problem, people are not just holding it wrong.

The problem is a mismatch between the Go team's perception of semver usage (or perhaps how they think it should be used) and its real-world usage. Some examples:

Major versions are used to communicate more than breaking changes.

Project identity doesn't change if a project changes, it is not a new package.

Hardly any projects use strict semver in the real world, and other package managers allow a more flexible, looser semver.

Just what is a breaking change anyway? Real-world packages make small security changes which break compatibility, sometimes minor changes do too, and that's ok if breakage is very limited in scope.

In the current go modules, new major versions are not easily discoverable or announced, and new importers will need to consult docs or know about go get @latest to find the latest version. This could be fixed with tooling if the problem is recognised. There are possible solutions if they want to keep /v2 paths, but we shouldn't pretend there are no problems caused by this change. It makes it easier to produce breaking changes and harder to version increment just for new features (as most projects from linux to rails do).

Personally I think it condones breaking changes and will lead to more breaking changes, not fewer - if you're forced to change import paths at higher versions why not just delete that api you don't like? Within Google say there are significant downsides to this and pressure to fix your own breakage, outside, not so much, including in packages people are required to use, like api client packages for popular services.

Significant breaking changes introduce real pain for consumers and in an open ecosystem should be avoided at all costs.

> [...] if the Java 9 and 10 experience is anything to go by, you will be hunting down issues with Maven plugins, transitive dependencies, and libraries holding back for now all day.

You had issues with 10? The only issues I got were with Java 9, because introduction of modules broke some stuff. Later it was just making sure that ASM or aspectj/lombok is in the most recent version that has new JDK version added, which might have been a problem in 10 (I know I was trying to upgrade on day 1).

But nowadays, all the most popular libraries are on par with the next Java version that is in the works at least a month before the release.

Since JDK 12, I just do an upgrade every 6 months and had no issues so far.

And if you don't ship software to clients then there is almost no downsides to upgrading and a lot of upsides.

If you do ship software to clients you should be using jlink, this way you ship smaller binaries and clients don't need to worry about JDK, because you will provide it to them .

And you also need to lookup what LTS means in case of Java - it is not the same as in e.g. Ubuntu.

In Ubuntu you get free of charge fixes in LTS, in Java you need to buy an LTS version from someone (they will make fixes there) OR use the latest JDK version (which gets all the fixes free of charge).

Statements like this seem to indicate a failure to understand what the difficult part of the task was. In short: a boring monitoring task that was practically unnecessary 99.99000% of the time, but absolutely critical maybe 0.00001% of the time. The typical-case lack of necessity would strongly re-enforce engaging with distractions over time (i.e. distraction more rewarding, and nearly all of the time no negative feedback of any kind).

> This isn't a truck driver falling asleep from exhaustion caused by aggressive scheduling. You don't "accidentally" take out your phone when your job is looking ahead. That's deliberate negligence.

I'm not saying there was no negligence here on the part of the driver, just that Uber itself was at least as negligent if not more so for designing the system in the way it did. Focusing too much on the driver is an error.

Honestly, watching a show was egregious, but I wouldn't be surprised if the drivers would end up falling asleep on a regular basis if all distractions were removed from their environment. Half paying attention to something I wasn't interested in has always been the best way to get me to fall asleep.
Interesting that in 2020 I’m not really sure how much of this applies? Trying to think of the major trends today, I don’t feel like they’re very well represented here. Or maybe I’m just a bit more disconnected from the modern startup world.
Yes. The fact that you manage the LLC from within California constitutes "doing business in California". See the examples on this page:

https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/misc/3556.html#Doing-Business-i...

Paul is a California resident and a member of a Nevada LLC. The Nevada LLC owns property in Nevada. The LLC hires a Nevada management company to collect rents and provide maintenance. Paul has the right to hire and fire the management company. He occasionally has telephone discussions from California with the management company in Nevada regarding the property. He is ultimately responsible for the property and oversees the management company. Paul conducts business in California on behalf of the LLC. The LLC must file Form 568.

Also relevant concerning the "No 5" contributor, Mr. Tate: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1530

That link is what the statement references as a sign of Mr. Tate's "flawed technical arguments". I'll admit I'm an outsider and a bit ignorant except for having read the linked issue, but it seems like Tate was reasonable and respectful, and that what seemed like an interesting technical discussion was shut down pre-maturely. Other contributors also said as much.

Again, I'm somewhat ignorant, but seems like some brash and stifling behaviour from a project seeking technical correctness. And then the commit linked above? Immature.

I'll be steering clear.

edit: to be clear, I'm not siding with Tate. Just commenting on the only negative behavior I see.

It's pretty astounding to me how much progress that Pine64 has made in the last year.

I know (because I saw it recently) that if lawyer assists you with forming a C corp in WA, their address can be used and they become an agent for your business, IE: they potentially get all your renewal paperwork, etc. I'm assuming if you had a lawyer form your LLC that they could do the same. That said - I've had a WA LLC for decades, my partner has formed LLCs in WA, etc... it's trivial to do yourself and fairly harmless to include your home address. In the month since she formed her most recent, I think we've had two pieces of junk mail. I did a search with the DOR a few minutes ago - yes, the address shows up for my business but not for hers, so who knows whether your address would even be published?
Accretion of features should be preferable to breakage.

I think most people, particularly those using Go, would agree with this.

It does not follow that we should make breaking changes easier or routine, nor that we should force people to use strict semver (which is not widely used for good reasons).

I see why they've done that as it simplifies assumptions but prefer the way other package managers handle this where it is left to producers and consumers to negotiate how strict they want to be.
