Founders often also take on relatively little risk (or all the same risk of an early employee).

The amount of money they put at stake can be very little, either living off Ramen which is cheap, or coming from a previous venture, then it's negligible. You should generally follow the same principle as investing in stocks: "Never invest money that you can't afford to lose."

A lot of people also see a risk to reputation due to failed startups, but for the first 1-2 it doesn't really matter, and as long as you raise _some_ early round and have good explanations/takaways for why it failed, and you didn't pull anything shady, it will only increase your reputation.

"Artistic theft" isn't really ethically theft if someone has simply copied a work.

Imagine a small village. If John makes an axe, and Jim sees it and copies it, did Jim steal John's axe? Seems like there's only theft occurring if Jim claims to have designed it himself---stealing some of John's reputation as the designer and first maker of that kind of axe. Doesn't the whole village benefit from more abundant chopped wood? Or perhaps from cheaper lumber prices? True, John now has competition chopping wood, but perhaps he's got an advantage as a designer and he'll soon specialize as a carpenter or tool designer rather than just a wood chopper. Couldn't it be possible that copying ideas and attributing the persons who originate them enriches the entire village---including those who came up with the new ideas?

I find Christian philosopher Vern Poythress's ethical reasons why we should advocate for changing copyright laws to be insightful and persuasive... and I learned the axe inventor example from his article, https://frame-poythress.org/copyrights-and-copying-why-the-l....
> I'm sorry to say to for me, shell scripting has lost. All my scripts are written in Python, which a thin shell script wrapper to launch it.

I've seen, and still see, plenty of Python scripts launched by a shell script.

9 out of 10 times, Python just causes more problems than it solves, and problems that are trivial to solve with plain old shell scripts.

The only reason Python "won" is because we see a constant inflow of rookie developers who so far did practically only used Python ever, and that's pretty much the only thing they know and the only tool of their trade. They see all problems as nails, and thus insist in using their little hammer all the time without even looking at the current infrastructure or even the toolbox.

I have seen shell scripts launch Python scripts. I have seen powershell scripts launch Python scripts. I have seen npm launch Python scripts. Hell, I have seen Python scripts launch Python scripts by firing up a Python interpreter as a child process.

Python did not won. Python outnumbered. It did so because people who don't know better happened to know Python.

Don't let that be the reason why you make terrible technical decisions.

As I mentioned elsewhere, some months ago there was report that the time that an electron takes to jump from one shell to another was measured for the first time. If true, then it seems to me this changes things. When I was leaning physics I was told that this was either infinitely fast or indeterminate (in keeping with QM).

By this account, same would go for tunnelling I'd reckon (that's just my extrapolation from that report).

We'll just have to wait and see whether it's fact or not.

Nokia 2 V Tella
You didn’t seem te read the parent’s comment fully.

What he suggested is that we use the overprovisioning to generate methane or hydrogen so it propells us through a few weeks of no wind or sun.

So, instead of 1GW of Nuclear you have 2GW of solar/wind + 1GW electrolysis and 1GW of hydrogen capacity.

This gives you better network stability than nuclear and the cost are or will soon be lower than the nuclear

> But contracting the growth prospects for India by 25% over the next decade means consigning millions of people to crippling poverty.

People say this, but I'll note that humans have lived through "crippling poverty" for most of our 2 million year existence. It is only crippling poverty by today's distortion lens (also a shifting baseline).

We should focus on what people really need to live quality lives, which is: good health (read: access to modern healthcare, freedom from pollution, disease), good food (read: freedom first from starvation, from malnutrition, poor diet), shelter from the elements, and then the rest of Maslow's hierarchy. Cars, TV, home appliances, and the whole lot of today's energy-hungry living isn't sustainable, and I'd argue isn't even the thing we should be shooting for. People of the past lived very different and satisfying lives that we simply can't imagine because, frankly, we are spoiled. People lived in tribes and hunted with spears for 100,000 years at least. And you know what, they beat those drums, painted their faces, tracked the stars, and contrary to whatever we might believe from our high place of "development" they actually enjoyed their lives.

This is a totally other conversation, but let's just say, I disagree with a lot of what you say about money and what it means to people. Money's new. We've been around a lot longer.
Not the op, but I'll try:

1. FB didn't "do something wrong". They have repeatedly engaged in research without informed consent as op mentions. These are not isolated incidents, but rather Facebook's modus operandi.

2. NYU uses volunteers to collect information on what Facebook ads are shown to them. A university project using volunteers to research on how people are targeted for political ads.

3. Facebook is trying to use its ToS so that its political targeting remains opaque.

I do not see any leaps here. I do not understand how a company such as Facebook has any moral authority to object about _anything_, much less about this research, but I'm open to hearing what I'm not understanding about your thought process.
If you want to learn more about this, it is usually referred to as "measurement problem". Basically, quantum mechanics is extremely accurate at predicting experimental results by using 2 completely separate rules: the Schrodinger equation on one hand, and the Born rule on the other. The Born rule is what is also referred to as wave function collapse: if you want to accurately predict what happens to a particle after it interacts with a detector (but NOT after an interaction with another particle), then you have to use the Schrodinger equation as a probability.

Now the physical meaning of these 2 different rules are debated. In the standard (Copenhagen) interpretation of QM, it doesn't make sense to talk about the properties of particles until you measure them, so neither the wave function nor the Born rule can be given a physical meaning.

In the MWI interpretation, all results of the Schrodinger equation exist in different worlds, so there is no collapse, the detector just finds out "in which world you live".

In superdeterministic theories, the Schrodinger equation is just an approximation of a currently unkown fully deterministic theory of motion.

In pilot-wave theory, the Schrodinger equation describes an actual wave that particles generate themselves (the motion of the wave and the motion of the particle influence each other); entangled particles are just particles that live on the same wave. There is no collapse here, but the wave from each particle exists in the whole universe and can change non-locally.
It is true for Europe too. We are not taught about money in schools. Is is a conspiracy theory? The fractional reserve banking system is what shocked me when I came to watch the money as debt video on YouTube. The more loans you take out to by stuff to impress the people whom you don't like is a live an kicking in the world.

Achually in 1970s Finnish morphology was considered hard AI-problem. I know this for a fact, because I saw Fred Karlsson in Xerox Interlisp Workstation demo in 1980. Few years later they obviously realized that only some cheap undergraduate labor is needed.

Problem is of course how to learn the meanings, when they are omitted in translations. Even native speaker is not always sure, like is "koiran-ko-han-ko" a tautology, or does the second question-mark refer to to the "han". "You wanted a dog, yes?" vs. "You wanted a dog, yes? You sure now?".
This is none of the employee's business to assess founder's risk exposure, he/she does not not lend money to them, but takes away from instead.

By taking an employee founder is effectively paying monthly, mind that, very expensive, insurance which provides free hands at any moment when needed. Employee's benefit is immediate, unconditional and guaranteed. The opposite of being an owner of business.

I am a proponent of Personal Finance training at high school. Life would be much more objective for people when they evaluate decisions based on relative benefits they get rather than making mistakes due to emotions.
everyone should a fundamental understanding of how a savings account, CD account, IRA, Roth IRA, 401(k) and MSA account work. Likewise, everyone should have a fundamental understanding of the equity markets, derivatives markets, futures markets, bond and treasury markets along with an understanding of how interest rates work and their effects on financial instruments like mortgages.

How much money do you think most people have? Half this stuff is completely irrelevant to average workers who don't have income to invest in variety or depth.

Sure, basic financial responsibility and options should be core, or near, but beyond that a detailed dive is going to supplant some other core educational area for no obviously good reason.

For the release of the 2.x versions: instability, removal of functionality for the same license, lack of downgrade rights[5], required connection to Symless servers[1][2] (including storing machine profile data). Compounded by the upgrade fee.

This all happened a few years ago, and given their downgrade partnership with LinusTechTips[6] plus community backlash, they are probably okay as long as you only get the 1.x versions.

Still, with those issues, and for a program that is basically a very useful cross-computer keylogger, I would think twice before trusting Symless.

Barrier has it's bugs, but does it's simple job of keyboard/mouse/clipboard sharing and without the shady practices.

To be clear on where they stand in relation to one another: Barrier is a strictly FOSS fork of an older 1.x version of Synergy. Synergy's 1.x source code is FOSS (I don't know if 2.x is/was), but they require a paid license for their binaries; Barrier has free binary releases.

It is. When I was in high school over a decade ago, I did take a required financial literacy class. Required by the state. So yes, students do learn about savings accounts, CD accounts, IRA, Roth IRA. They learn about stocks, mortgages. Various other things (like tax returns by hand). I don't think equity/derivatives/futures/bonds were covered. Another class I took that was an elective (so not required, but available) -- and possibly took it at 9th or 10th grade -- was on business stuff including how to actually go and start your own business, different types of businesses, etc.

Even suppose you make students take a second financial literacy course, at the expense of letting them study what they want (electives), it's not going to help. Despite all the core curriculum that already exists, just because you're forced to take a class does not mean you're going to learn its material. Maybe find a better way to solve your grand social engineering problem, because "more education" isn't it, and disrupts a lot of students from actually achieving a good education because they're forced to deal with required core BS aimed at the lowest common denominator.

So Q doesn't exist, despite "plenty of imagery and video on twitter", but I should take "MrAndyNgo", a Twitter nobody completely at face value? I've been to Portland recently. Plenty of people were outside eating at restaurants. The "anarchy" is greatly overblown by the media.

I don't mean to downplay the impact of either movement, but to dismiss QAnon as "liberal conspiracy" when simultaneously only getting news from, what seems like a Twitter agitator, AndyNgo is concerning.
There is a need for the education yes (completely). But there is also a crying need for both tools and regulation.

Mint was a sort of step in the right direction - but basically we need software (agents) to be in the fight on our side - here is the list of your outgoings - 40% of people cancel their Gym subscription after three months - do you want to cancel yours?

Add on to this regulation - the EUs new Open Accounts (?) directive is a huge step.
My public high school in the 90s had a mandatory personal finance class. This stuff existed.

It got cut from the curriculum at some point over the years along with art, music, civics, wood shop, gym, and all the rest.

The question is where has all the money gone? Not sure about K12, but at the college level it's very clear, it's all gone to the administrative bureaucracies, with less going to the actual faculty and educational programs.
YouTube-dl source code encoded in two images
I started studying economics, personal finance and financial markets a few years ago. I very quickly realised that although economics was the most interesting -- the study of how people interact with other people. It had the least to do with money.

I think a lot of people would change their political views/personal opinions if they understood a bit more about economics.
Two reasons:

1) Financial rules are legal constructs - so not really suitable for academics. An academic syllabus might claim "Roth IRA implies X" then the law changes and it is no longer true.

2) The schools would be opening themselves up to legal liability if they accidental offer financial advice that goes bad (eg, invest in shares -> first time in history share market collapse -> angry people blame school).

No conspiracy, they just can't teach a moving target and the liability issues are - when you think through them - enough to be very troubling.

That’s not quite correct. To perfectly preserve, you’d also need to change the string thickness, tension and weight, which may involve a change of materials, and may not even be possible to retain proportionality between strings. You’d have to change the body of the guitar as well.

We learned personal finance in my public high school here in Australia, there was a dedicated humanities course (which includes wills etc too) but it also got touched on in maths with compound interest, probability, etc, where we used real life examples like gambling. And there were economics and business studies electives if you were into that.

It was useful, but I think these sorts of topics really benefit from life experience. When you haven't had to pay many bills yourself, it's hard to know what's important and it's mostly a meaningless jumble. Chances are that most kids forgot most of it by the time they moved out of home. But at least it's always easier to re-learn than to learn.
I studied in Czech Republic and we had entire class spanning out over two years for economic and financial literacy at my high school. On the practical level, we were even tasked to fill out tax returns for a fictional company and we learned how to start freelancing & start a company. It was a high school in a rather small town on the south of Czech Republic, nothing special. I don't know how common this is in the rest of the country, but I remember that I and some of my classmates were leaving high school with income from freelancing already. There are very few people I know that didn't have a source of income when they finished high school.
The lock-in with Photos they've slowly moved in is phenomenal. The exporting of originals is always somehow difficult due to random bugs. Lately I've had to resort to Takeout with some relatives to migrate them to Dropbox where they're not locked in, and about 20% of the photos don't contain any exported metadata. It's ridiculous since Google Photos shows those same pictures clearly on the timeline, indicating it does know when they were take, it just excludes that information from the Takeout.
Your high school (my junior high did it too) didn't do a "job simulation" event that is basically this? Everyone learned to balance a checkbook, be forced to deal with random events that disrupted a perfectly zeroed income/expense plan, and forced to deal with fixed prices and options. Reality has more opportunities to do better, but if you can't even master a simple simulation, it's probably a good sign you need help with managing finances.
We've seen ESP8266 and ESP32 succeed tremendously in the maker space. We've yet to see widespread adoption in commercial and professional applications - that's coming, but I am surprised why IP for bluetooth/wifi is so expensive outside of Chinese chip makers? ST, NXP, Microchip, Renesas, etc. have really expensive SoCs - $15/chip and over. These giants seem to be sleeping. What's preventing them from competing with the Chinese?

Also, we have horrendous price gouging for memory. A mere 128k to 256k bump in memory spec on a microcontroller will send you back a $1.20 in chip price.

Is there some CCP-gov subsidy going on to capture the market? Espressif's ESP32 is such an extraordinary chip with 500kb+ memory and yet, it is an order of magnitude cheaper than anything close from western suppliers. What gives?
