It's not necessarily the organization and its founders who have revenue maximization as a primary goal. The other factor is hundreds of millions of dollars of VC money, and VCs are definitely all about revenue maximization. MapBox has raised quarter of a billion.

The conundrum is how does a company develop software as complex as MapBox without relying on VC cash to get the ball rolling.
Not sure were you live in SF and what circles you frequent. I live in The Mission and most times I go somewhere in the neighborhood there's lots of "brown" people. There's not much black people in SF but black people from Oakland hang out in some places I frequent.

Maybe it's your neighborhood, some islands in the city look like a white suburb, like Noe Valley for example.
Also worth noting is are they censoring content that is at the level of "Democrats rigged the election". Or are they censoring all content relating to the election that mentions anything to do with out-of-state voters, dead voters, or unusual voting patterns. The former might be justifiable, the latter seems to censor uncomfortable truths. I personally think the total level of fraud was not nearly large enough to decide the election but a non-zero amount of fraud exists. If we censor any amount of coverage of that fraud how do we improve the system so that dead people and out of state people no longer vote?

I am familiar with this scandal (but not a finance expert or anything).

The problem with loopholes is that it's up to interpretation. Is it intentional? Is it legal? These are hard problems to determine.

America famously offered a tax benefit for 'manufacturing'. But what constitutes manufacturing? If I have a restaurant, am I manufacturing food? It's hard to say.

I don't think what Shah did was criminal. But I do think the governments should be able to demand that he return the money if a court rules that their interpretation of the law was wrong,
Worth noting that many Americans I know in Europe, have no plans to ever come back, they don't see USA as an option anymore once experienced life here.

These food delivery apps tend to execute it poorly, but multiples orders in a single run is pretty standard fare in food delivery.

If you order delivery from a pizza place during lunch or dinner rush, the vast majority of the time the restaurant is going to try it's damndest to dispatch orders in a way that allows the driver to take multiple deliveries in one run. Even if it means letting one that's ready to go out the door sit under the heatlamps for a bit while you make and cook another that's going in the same direction. That said, your order goes from oven -> metal table with heat lamps -> insulated (or with an actual heat plate in it) delivery bag. So it should still end up getting delivered hot, even if not quite fresh.

I managed a Dominos when they started their pizza tracker[1] back in the day, and 99% of complaints were from online orders, which got quoted wildly optimistic delivery times and coupled with the following the progress tracker, gave a false sense of when to expect your order. Dominos recently updated their pizza tracker with driver GPS tracking[2] so that it works on par with the delivery apps, and I can't even imagine how many complaints come from people who are second on a driver's run and notice the driver taking off in the wrong direction from the store or taking a highly roundabout route to their house.

You don't need evidence to form a belief but you do need it if you want others to believe you.

If Alex moves to another platform wouldn't part of his following move to this platform? Wouldn't that grow others in that new platform.

Sure, "facts" that are irrelevant to the topic.

But if you insist, Matt Braynard managed to raise the money on some other platform and he did found enough potentially illegal votes to swing some states. Mainly people who moved out of state and things like that. So here are your facts.
What are you even talking about? You can't compare teaching people how to sell heroin or rob a bank and conducting a research. What I take issue with is that they kicked him out for something that he did not do.
I know plenty of diverse liberals (the conservatives already fled) who are moving outside CA due to tax reasons and housing reasons. These are not rich people but a range of professionals in a handful of salary brackets.

So it's not just Elon. It's those who have the opportunity to do so where it does not impact their lifestyle significantly.
Get COVID don't get COVID again.
I agree but that's not really my concern. I am most concerned about granting Google (or anyone) the power to decide what is true or false, and to prevent individuals from seeing the information used to make those judgements, or to decide for themselves.

See my other reply to you below.
Is there any data that shows the number of people believing in conspiracy theories is actually greater than it was, and that that gap was due to social media?

20 years ago I remember TV shows talking about the moon landing being a hoax, and a decent number of people I talked to at the time believing it. This is just an anecdote, but I've noticed that people make the claim that conspiracy theories are on the rise and I've yet to see hard evidence to support that claim.
Robinhood was receiving a premium for their flow compared to the other brokers last I looked.

That at least gives me pause in that it means the market feels like being on the other side of those trades is more valuable for some reason & Robinhood has a disincentive to change it if that reason is “Robinhood’s UX makes bad decisions easy.”
Sure, the license would have to figure out how to share revenue with major contributors too.

It would seem to be incumbent on someone making claims of a crime, particularly a serious, disturbing crime against the fundamentals of the United States, to provide evidence of that crime. Real evidence, not just allegations.

The only unequivocal "evidence" I have seen has been eyewitness statements, but those eyewitnesses have repeatedly refused to testify under oath. That makes their allegations useless to the legal system.

The way that some people continue to make those allegations in spite of being unable to produce any evidence makes me suspect they are not interested in legal avenues, but rather in drumming up civil unrest and distrust in the foundations of the United States. That suspicion might be reason for YouTube's actions.
Many in San Diego say something similar.
I'd argue that many humans think too highly of their intelligence and are not intelligent enough to decide correctly for themselves.
Watching a video or reading an article is, at least, second hand information that you can't verify. If you don't have enough verified data then you cannot make an informed decision anyway.
Many people simply feel they "trust" a source. What is that? Your brain taking input and deciding it "likes" the pattern it concocts? That's okay for lesser decisions but not major nation changing ones.
If you cannot form a consistent logical chain of events that you can extrapolate a decision from then what you are really doing is guessing or gambling. No matter what your "feelings" may tell you.
Just want to confirm this as an Irish person. The language is of symbolic / nationalist importance only. It's not used in everyday life except by hobbyists or residents of a few tiny 'gaeltacht' areas.

In other words, English is in practice the first language of virtually every Irish person, the vast majority of media, and all business in the country.

Elon doing things like this makes his brand more appealing to conservatives, and thus makes Tesla’s products more appealing to conservatives.

This is important, because for electric trucks to succeed, they have to be appealing to people who are willing to modify their truck engines to burn more gas, for no reason other than to “own the libs.”

By culturally ingratiating himself with conservatives, he’s helping create a bigger market for electric cars than would otherwise exist. I find it obnoxious, but it’s not worth caring about in the context of the dire need to electrify America’s vehicle fleet in a hurry.
Sounds good to me, now do it everywhere.

You might be a racist. The commenter said exactly why they are going to move. Replying to suggest that demographics or a racial preference is the actual secret reason is in poor taste.
There are 3 kinds of people: Sociopaths, Clueless, and Losers.
Sociopaths are the higher level managers, generally, Clueless are the middle managers, and Losers are the low level workers. Clueless want to be higher level managers, but lack the ability to act like a high level manager and only imitate. These people are generally picked out for promotions by Sociopaths because of their willingness to do what they want, but also because they are promoted to their level of incompetence. Losers on the other hand know the gig or don't care, so are passed on by and stay where they are, basically "losing" the corporate game.

That's basically the gist of it.

I understand what you are saying, but it really does not conflict with what I am saying. Our employees in that other state are not working on physical things in that state. They ssh to servers in the U.S. and E.U. and do Zoom calls with people in other states and countries.

In my mind, this is exactly what Elon would be doing from Texas. Zoom calls with people in other states and countries. So how are the two things different and why would he be paying CA taxes on his personal income?
People who use this product largely don't interact with the web ui, a lot of things are only done occasionally. And the people that use it frequently won't use the web ui, command line tools or a third party program that abstracts that away is more likely.

Democrats did do everything in their power. I’m not sure what you expect, do you want them to try to be totally corrupt and step outside of their constitutional role? Because they made sure it was a really honest process:

1. They made sure investigations happened to determine the validity of any claims. Investigations from trusted intelligence officials and even from the Republican-controlled senate confirmed the same thing.
2. They impeached trump based on the evidence provided by the investigations.
3. When the republicans didn’t vote to remove him, they focused a lot on the election and driving voter turnout.
My comment is not arguing whether a state actor breached FireEye, but whether only a state actor could breach FireEye as they are implying as nobody else could fund or develop such a "sophisticated" or "advanced" attack. If it is at most $1M as you say, then you are actually agreeing with me as that would hardly constitute something that only a "state actor" could do given that literally any mid-sized business, of which there are millions, could support such an expense. To actually demonstrate that it is so difficult to develop that "only a state actor" has the resources to develop/deploy such an attack should require demonstrating that it is out of reach for all but a state actor for which a $1B budget is likely a good bottom-end as only a very small number of non-state entities can actually support such an effort. I hope that clarifies my point.

I wish there was a FOSS license with a clause along the lines of:

- if your company makes >X revenue a year, give us some of it.

Ofc, they (FSF/OSI/DFSG) would have to relax their FOSS definition(s), but with more projects dying in this way hopefully more FOSS organisations will take heed and think about this.

Ofc, the wording of the license has to be precise enough to avoid something like fobbing off the servers to technically be controlled by subsidiaries with 0 revenue.

Ofc, the license would have to figure out how to share revenue with major contributors too.

Contributors already contribute to for-profit open source projects without themselves getting paid, so this license would make the situation strictly better for them.

I've been running for 30 years, and 5 miles in 35 minutes was barely possible at the very peak of my training. There's no chance of pulling it off now, even though I'm in ultramarathon shape.

The point being, you run your pace. Congrats on starting and keeping up your running. It's a really good form of exercise -- inexpensive, readily available, and low-overhead. There will always be faster people, and there will always be slower people. You'll meet both at races (when races are a thing again), and mostly what you'll feel is camaraderie that you're all in it together regardless of your pace.

I just don't believe that having powerful intermediaries squashing views work well for democracy.

It doesn't work so well to stop dangerous ideas, and it has a whole lot of risk of being used against unpopular ones.

Trump's ideas are doing damage to democracy, but attempting to suppress them in this way adds credence to many peoples' belief that there's some dangerous tech/liberal cabal squashing the true majority conservative opinion, too. And even attempts to use these in a bright-line, careful fashion have often squashed the wrong speech and silenced the wrong people; this is before any actual malicious use which is sure to come if the precedent strengthens.

In our rush to get rid of the most repugnant ideas, too, we tend to lose our ability to discuss nuance. To avoid COVID quackery, we can't have an open discussion of the merits of specific policies and interventions. In our rush to squash the dangerous idea of election fraud, we can't have the discussion about how to make our actual election system robust and beyond reproach.

> So, the danger of "censorship", in our current context, should be gauged against the danger of "non-censorship" in the same context.

Yes, which is why I acknowledged those risks in my first comment and said that I believed that these risks are potentially greater.

Think about how much important speech from the past few centuries has seemed dangerous and repugnant at the time it was uttered.
That's just saying they have a technological workaround to the policy of banning in-person sales at Tesla galleries, not a refutation of the reality of the laws themselves. If Tesla started eating heavily into Texas car dealerships' sales, don't be surprised if the dealers' associations show up at the state capitol demanding more teeth in the law.
> But vesting shares should not qualify as income. What should qualify as income is me selling those shares

I believe that the logic here is the same reason AMT was introduced in the past.

I vest $1M in shares. I get a loan against those shares for 500k. I now have 500k in cash, that I have paid no taxes on. Someone will definitely give me that loan because _worst case_ I have to sell the underlying shares, pay tax, and still pay back the loan. When that loan is due? Refinance against the same shares that I still haven't sold.

If you have a lot of assets, you can always get a loan against those assets. You can kick the can down the road long enough to, effectively, never pay taxes. Or you just kick it long enough for some sort of "tax holiday".

Real estate lets you do this with refinances and 1031 exchanges all the way until you die (at which point the cost basis resets, and your heirs will most likely pay no tax).

Bring the evidence to the court? It's funny how the side claiming there was fraud apparently has trucks full of evidence and affidavits on news channels and social media, but when it comes to an actual courtroom, where lying has real consequences, suddenly, they don't claim "fraud" anymore and they don't have any real evidence.

Well, if you had checked your source before spreading it, you'd know they just make it up. It's completely subjective, it's just whatever the owners feel like.

For instance, here's something they don't do: take a random sample of a source's news articles, anonymize the source, ask random people to rate them, and collate the ratings into an overall rating. I'm not saying that'd be a good way to do it, but at least it'd be something.

"Just because it is sponsored and coordinated by the governments, doesn't mean it must fail."

These on-demand delivery companies offer a useful service at an unreasonable premium to both restaurant and customer. Plenty of cities are capping their price gouging https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/07/13/food-delivery-berkel... which may slash their bottom line.

I hope to see cities create their own delivery services at cost so restaurants aren't taking these huge hits and the $ stays within the community.

As far as the customer paying an arm and a leg for the convenience, yeah that's the market. No idea why someone wants a gourmet meal put into a box, jostled around, and served a 1/2 hour later.
