> This market will be settled according to the candidate that has the most projected Electoral College votes won at the 2020 presidential election. Any subsequent events such as a ‘faithless elector’ will have no effect on the settlement of this market. In the event that no Presidential candidate receives a majority of the projected Electoral College votes, this market will be settled on the person chosen as President in accordance with the procedures set out by the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

My guess would be that even though they view faithless electors as 'subsequent events' they still view the outcome of Trump's legal challenges as part of the election proper.

Why are you making moral judgements on a business decision? The investors didn't HAVE to take a write down, they chose to. The early employees didn't HAVE to join this company, they chose to.

Why do you deem it immoral for a founder to do what is best for himself within the bounds of the agreements he has made?

This kind of calling-out is common in HN and quite distasteful. Comments like this all amount to saying "X is immoral because they refused to give a charitable donation to Y". Charity is not a moral requirement and arguably it's not even a moral good.
In this case it comes from the very top and is a big factor.

Another big catalyst IMO was Unity's seamless build for many platforms, including Linux.

It came in parallel with the Kickstarter boom, where a lot Kickstarter campaigns would offer Linux support as a way to entice a new audience. The time around 2010-12 was pivotal for Linux gaming and indie gaming alike.

Are you taking offense to people taking offense for the sake of virtue signaling?
You can get something in that general area yes.

This is actually vaguely reminiscent of auto release pools in Cocoa.
I assume physicalism as a premise, yes, although I make allusion to other possibilities (and hint that they have problems too). The post that am replying to also seems to assume it, so it's not really in scope for my reply.

Yeah, but that was close. Florida was determined by around 500 votes and determined the president. There was no winner declared by the AP.

This is a completely different situation.
Trump needs Pennsylvania AND Nevada AND Georgia AND Arizona to flip. All those states have margins of 10,000+ in Biden's favor. The election is over.

$500k is staff/principal level compensation at FAANG companies. No way mid-level engineers make as much.
I'm with OP - $3.7M seems like a lot, but it really isn't enough to retire on. I assume he'll need to pay taxes on that, a 20% long-term capital gains tax. Brings it down to about $3M. Being generous and giving him 3.5% return (real return) a year in fixed income, that's only $105,000 a year in income, which he'll need to pay taxes on as well. He'll net out around $85k a year.
Few employees may get a windfall in reality, but it doesn’t make it easier to see (nor does it justify the founder’s choices).

Those employees are just as responsible for the company’s success as the founder is; it sucks to see them get shafted while the founder walks away with “fuck you” money.

I'm not a fan of regulatory bodies making examples of companies for minor infractions. And this is a very minor infraction.
Brother makes remarkably well-designed and BS-free products. From hardware to software. It's like a breath of fresh air, really.

E.g. - Had a paper jam at some point. The on-device screen said "Paper jam. Open the front panel." Opened it, the message changed to "Remove the toner cartridge." Removed it, and it kept on going to tell where to look, what to pull, etc. Ditto with the driver installation - downloaded, run, clicked OK, done. No junk to "manage my printing experience", just what's needed to control all printing options, all laid out clearly, and exactly where Microsoft says it should be. Beautiful. Almost shed a tear.

>By this logic though shouldn’t “store brands” at the grocery store or “CVS brand” medicine at the drug store also be “illegal.”

No they don't. Stores buy their stock. They can choose to stock other brands or to make their own products, but they invariably have to purchase what they sell.

The Amazon market place makes you think it's the same but it's not. Sellers are using the platform to sell their own products and they pay Amazon for that service.

Amazon is accused of using sales data from the sellers, like their sales volumes, margins and customers profiles, and then undercut them by producing their own version. Amazon basically benefit from the traffic, interest and sales data of sellers to then displace them and promote their own product.

It's like if you had a small business but your landlord had access to all your data and saw that they should also sell their own copies of your most profitable items by opening a bigger shop right next to you and selling for cheaper because being the landlord, they don't need to pay rent.

Maybe illegal, maybe not, but in any case it's cause for at least some amount of concern and deserves some overseeing.

It's way too tempting to abuse that absolute power in some way, whether as a matter or policy or just because some overzealous Amazon manager found that pushing the envelope was in their own interest.

You can't just ignore that and brush it off. We've created a potential bully and we should at least keep watch.
Google's habit of killing any product that isn't search or Gmail suggests otherwise
That rests on the perverse assumption that founders are the most talented and deserving individuals in the universe, and everyone one else should be happy to uncomplainingly serve the interests of these fabulous ubermensch.

The populist media is the same in every country: Migrant does something good, he's a local, pop the champagne to celebrate our nation's glorious achievement; migrant does something bad, he's <insert_foreign_nationality>, out with them foreigners.

Tribalism is still deeply rooted in our DNA and the media capitalizez on that since it gets them clicks on their articles.

Guy at support uses Excel to generate SQL statements.

Typically when we have a request like "oops, we accidentally entered wrong weights for these articles, please fix", where he gets an Excel sheet of article numbers and correct weights. But thanks to the flexible nature, toss in a little logic when needed for example, he can quickly churn out some non-trivial SQL to do the job.

Of course may other ways to do this kinda job, but for him this is quite productive. He starts by writing the query he needs for doing one update, then just stuff it into Excel, replacing fixed values with cell references and copy formula down all rows and copies result back into interactive SQL editor.

Just having nukes doesn't necessarily save you. Israel might be too small to mount a counterattack (you could nuke all of it in first strike). Same goes for the UK, which is why UK has nuclear-armed submarines that can launch a counter-strike.

It has not been forgotten by anyone. This election has gone much like every election in recent history: Once enough of the vote was counted to make the outcome clear, the media has projected a winner based on the results in each state and the laws of those states regarding the selection of electors.
This is what I keep going back to. We're not really in new territory. Challenges will be raised and either accepted or rejected. We'll know for certain whose is president soon enough. My guess is things won't change from what they are now, but I've been wrong many times when it comes to US politics.

A startup makes sense if you are looking to do something different or to expand you skillset. Working at a major corporation can feel stifling over time. The important thing to understand that there is almost 0% chance that your "1-4%" ownership will ever be more than 6 figures.

A deeper issue is how hard it is to "know" if companies hawking products with security implications (which is nearly everything, today) are lying.

I'm not even talking about the gradient ranging from innocent bugs to incompetent coders and how that gets papered over. When you buy shoddy physical goods, there are typically characteristics you can't hide, like cheap materials. But with software like this of course the only function your average person can verify is that the transmission happens, not how it is encoded. Neither Grandma nor your manager are likely to break out tcpdump to check.

And of course the DMCA complicates this in the US, and things are even worse for researchers elsewhere.

Third party audit and reputation are the only fixes I see. And the second one requires a commercial environment that rewards it. The current one doesn't; it rewards novelty and lies, so that's what we get.
I don't think anyone except crypto-nerds cares about this. Normal people just assume everything can be wiretapped and Zuckerberg and friends are always listening.
The zjs printers on Linux are a PITA. I have a LaserJet 1020. And I have had times where it worked flawlessly, then a change in a kernel module or anything else and stoped working but not always only sometimes, sometimes the distribution drivers worked, others only the ones in the ffo2zjs page ones, so I had to change from one to the other . Now it looks like they are more stable and only had problems once when someone made a mistake in an update of the driver it was solved in less than a week once located.
At the moment Micro is focusing on Go backends consumed by clients in different languages. I would wait until there is more explicit support for different nackend languages, unless you feel adventurous.
That is so cool to learn about. My first exposure to war wagons was in AoE 3 [1] and I always wondered how a fortified wagon drawn by horse was somehow a counter to cavalry when you would theoretically just kill the horse and render the wagon useless (a mobility kill). Makes much more sense when you consider that a bunch of them are essentially a portable fort.

Exactly, previous elections were fairly predictable in what states each candidate would win. In the past, elections had been predicted incorrectly. Some may not know this, but the Chicago Tribune (in)famously preprinted copies stating that Dewey had defeated Truman in part due to the state-of-the-art election predictions which were straw poles. Ironic that Gallop rose to prominence from this situation and now history repeats itself in a way (meaning that if the poles were correct this election would have been called on election day).

The thing is (as a mostly windows gamer here) it is not consistent in windows really either. Then on top of that many of the companies that made these games went basically defunct years ago and some publisher is just selling them and cutting a check to some other company that is a shell corp for something else. You are correct on what should happen to the game. But some programs do need to react to lose focus. So for it to 'ignore' it there would need to be a setting for it (and per program). Which could even cause side effects in that game because they just plain got it wrong.

I have had in the past month seen black screen on return. No controls after return. Does not tab out at all. There are other variations. Most games do work. But some dont. My wife plays dont starve quite a bit and that game is kind of flakey in its external behavior (once in game you are fine). One bug she is dealing with is in some cases it takes 30+ mins to get in game with new settings on a fairly beefy new computer.

foreigner here. it is crazy to see that americans do not know when is the official result of their own election and what is written in their own constitution.

That leads me to the second question. In europe we learn history at school and in books but most of my encounters with educated americans led them to recommend me some hollywood movies to learn about some specific events of their history.

I feel the television has a huge importance in this country and the fact that millions of americans consider it the source of truth even to declare who is the winner of the most important event of their lives strikes me as unbelievable.

I'm trying to clean it up, but it's a mess out there. Some accounts require a phone number and don't have an option to disable SMS as a option.
> To be fair, unarmed revolts have always been crushed

To be fair the US has a tendency to side with tyrants, dictators, oppressors, not exactly with the peasants, at least in the past 80 years.

To name one

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

But I see your point, my objections are to:

1 - you don't need to be armed, you nede to be able to, in case you;re going to need it (for example through external support)

2 - you prove my point, there is no armed revolt that succeeded only because people were armed, you need international support (at least from your neighbours)

> I'd like to see a citation of a single unarmed revolution that succeeded.

here's one for you, my friend.

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

> The purpose of being armed is really to force the opposition to massacre you

exactly.

that's the point.

and that's why you don't point a gun to a policeman.

being armed has always been a disadvantage for regular people.

That's why the comment bringing up the 2nd amendment is completely off topic in this context, 10 centuries ago if you traveled armed you had to be ready to fight, because everyone armed like you was going to try to kill you: you represented a danger.

it's the same thing that happens today in US, a lot of people are armed, they have guns on them, the police patrolling is even more heavily armed that the gangsters, they take a look a round, see something fishy, they see a gun, they shoot.

No question asked.

So, to go back on topic, being unarmed for the peasants of the Carolingian era most of the time made the difference between being killed and being simply robbed.
Quick Google searches debunk most of your claims. A couple of them have been covered extensively. The fact that you still believe them days later highlights your bias, or the bias of your news feeds.
Normally the losing side concedes in the hope to not sow division. But Trump only does things in his interest so... yet another norm lost.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Of course you can play games without Steam.
