I'm not sure I follow the author's complaints though. Its not cyberpunk because the young protagonist has a glib jacket? Its not cyberpunk because the plot impact is high? Lots of cyberpunk works have high impact plots. Ghost in the shell and Neuromancer had some global military AI. Snow Crash had a villain with a nuclear bomb. A lot of the characters in these books were not deep at all. In fact I think accepting the dystopia as normal and living inside it's rules is almost a hallmark of the genre.

I don't really understand the plot complaints other then they just didn't like it that more or that it didn't fit their idea of what the game should be.
Let's talk about intent. In the example of wanting the studio to give you all their unedited footage so you can make your own cut, all of that footage was taken with the intent to produce a movie with it (obviously all of it did not make the cut, but the intent was there).

For this holiday video, it was taken with the intent to -- privately -- document someone's holiday. Incidentally, the person taking the video happened to find a two-minute segment that they thought might be interesting to others, and they were comfortable giving away (because that portion of the video didn't intrude on their privacy).

The point I'm making here is that situations are different. Situations have nuance. You can't just presume equivalence and throw an argument in someone's face along the lines of "if you want someone to do X then you have to be comfortable with Y". Because no, you don't, and it's not logically inconsistent to hold that view.

(For the record, I don't think the studio should be required to give you all their unpolished, pre-cut footage. But I also don't think it's contradictory to imagine a world where that was the norm, but it was not the norm to expect people to post their entire holiday video when they just want to post a short segment.)

Perhaps you're just hyper sensitive. I'm really just curious why I see these stories posted by Indian people frequently, but far less frequently by, say, Chinese people. Maybe it's just because Indians can more easily be part of the Anglo-web that I'm a part of versus Chinese people.

This doesn't prove anything, but I'm married to an Indian person. My child is half Indian. I am not just "having a go". I'm just curious. You need to chill with the assumption that anything you read that is genuine curiosity is racism because of "phrasing".

Exactly what you should do depends on a lot of details about exactly what your business setup looks like, what your personal situation is, and what the other parties to the situation think. Way more detail is needed than you'd provide to any of us internet randoms. A good lawyer who understands these kinds of contracts is somebody you can actually give all of the important details to and who can give you accurate advice for your situation. This is not a good time for some weird quirk of your contract or any related laws to surprise you. If your co-founder is being unreasonable, you need to know what your escalation options are, and you may need to communicate that you are prepared to execute on them promptly if they don't give you what you feel is a reasonable deal.

I was 40. My partner phoned me (woke me up) and said basically "OMG America is at war!"

I turned on the television the moment the second plane hit, and my jaw hit the floor.

As the day unfolded, I was blown away at both how the attack played out, and especially how exactly this attack was already being discussed for almost a year leading up to it, without anyone actually acting on the risk.

I see the entire thing as being one of those "Oh, there's been talk, but nothing like this would never happen to us," until it does.

Compare this with Covid19, the US having already known years ago that a pandemic was a matter of when, and then cutting funds and pretty much all mention of the risk until the risk became reality, and then passing the blame to the previous government, and finally pretending it's not such a big deal after all, unless it means criticizing the other party more.

How exactly does V know when/where to release memory?
Yes, sorry my first edit suggested you were the author, but I tried to correct that. Also, while I suspect this is political and potentially about Fauci, that is not clear to me from the one post I read.

I still have to question what their interpretation of "analysis" is. If experts are not to be trusted as sources, then where exactly is the author obtaining their "analysis"? Are they suggesting that the way they live their life is by conducting primary research?

The only interpretation I see is that the author has a set of sources they trust that produce "analysis" that the author sees as reliable. Their opponent in the argument has exactly the same same thing but from sources that the author does not trust. That certainly is a pickle.

Of course, the author would likely see me as "believing in dangerous quackery" but I am dumbfounded.

Does the author want me to believe that they consult raw weather station data before deciding to take an umbrella? Since the raw weather station data comes from expert sources can it even be trusted?

The reality I suspect is that the author would say:

I know a guy who forecasts the weather and I trust him because he published some numbers from someplace along with his analysis. Numbers I can't really understand and no expert can be relied on to interpret but for some reason, this guy and his numbers have me convinced I am well grounded.

Further, I would never trust that National Weather Service, those hacks use experts, charts, graphics, and text and I can't be sure they are not fabricating the weather unless I see raw numbers that again I can't trust as being correct nor interpret and no one other than "my guy" can either.

> The written-spoken language is very regular so it's very easy so "sound out" words.

I don't know where I stand on your thesis (I was mostly arguing against the idea that Japanese people are demotivated to read more than English speakers because of kanji), but the main reservation I have about this is that it's pretty easy to fake knowledge of words this way. The pronunciation of something is secondary to its definition. But with a phonetic language, it's easy to fool yourself as well as others of an understanding that is not very deep.

I remember once in middle school I elicited a laugh from my classmates when during group reading, I mispronounced "awry" (I had put the stress on the wrong syllable as well as pronounced the "y" as "ee"). However, I had a very good idea of what it meant at that time. OTOH, in that same class, it was a very unusual occurence for the teacher to interrupt group reading and confirm everyone knew what a word meant, so I believe many misunderstood words were glossed over routinely.

I'm not saying being phonetic is a net loss, of course, just that "understanding" is a tricky thing to gauge, and may be harder as a side effect of some language being phonetic.
Erm, I bought an Avaya HC020 (about $250) back at the beginning of the pandemic. It's quite nice--my images are always better than everyone short of pro streamers. You can flip the image, color balance, etc. all in the webcam with a remote control (this is why I got it--"flip the image" was causing my laptop fans to screech at max RPM for a different webcam)

I've never used it, but if you really need microphone arrays, then probably the Avaya CU360 is probably for you. Bonus: it's standalone Android so you can install all the streaming apps on the device instead of on your computer.

And, why not microphone arrays? Because echo cancelling is a nightmare technology that requires real R&D. Somebody always gets the setup wrong on conference calls. The new macs haven't been out long enough for me to trust that Apple actually solved the problem any better.

An IPO pop does not necessarily mean that any money has been left on the table: just because some shares trade at $146 doesn't mean that all of them could have been sold for the same price. The demand curves slope downwards.

However, when the pop is as large as it was in the case of Airbnb, it does seem like they could have raised more cash.
Theology is not based on facts. It's based on faith.

This is a set of very biased articles, I mean just look at this for example:

> Git is a dependency, which means perl is a dependency, which means a shell is a dependency, which means glibc is a dependency, which means that a lot of other things (including posix threads) are also dependencies. Pedantically, you could even go as far as saying that you could count the Linux kernel, the processor being used and the like as dependencies, but that's a bit out of scope for this.

What's the point of such nitpicking? You don't need git to use V, and the point of the no dependency claim is that bootstrapping V is as simple as `cc v.c` and the V compiler produces single file binaries, that are easy to deploy, without any dependencies on an interpreter/environment/libs etc.

I'm actually going to write a post debunking all of the claims in these articles, since I see them mentioned quite often (including measuring the compilation speed by using an unoptimized debug build + running vfmt + rebuilding the standard library with each compilation + using a 2x slower backend).
I still think there's a pretty clear correlation between technical innovation of cryptocurrencies and their market cap, even though there are certainly exceptions to this rule (ripple being the prime exemplar)
It is not "an insight a child would have". Good ideas mean nothing unless it leads to a marketable product. And for one smart janitor with business sense there are thousands of people who will just cost the company money.

The CEO here managed to notice that among thousands, this is the janitor to listen to.

As for CEO being well paid, it is simply because their decisions can make the company lose or earn a lot of money. If a $500k salary earns the company millions, it is well deserved. And when things go wrong CEOs do get kicked out.

So yeah, we can say that spotting talent in a janitor and turning into a lot of money for the company is a CEO's job and the reason he is paid so well, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't be praised for a job well done.

And sure some CEO don't deserve their position, golden parachutes are a thing, but I have a feeling that most CEOs have merit.

That would be kind of cool in a sense, because it would do exactly the opposite of what the SEC would want. The SEC may then start to realize that they don't have the power to control the crypto market, and that it's going to blow up on them every time they try to attack. The higher price could also be used to fund better lawyers and lobbying against the SEC.

Not necessarily in support of Ripple specifically, but I do think having something that can actually challenge the SEC and reduce them to tears is a good thing. There are lots of things about the capital economy that could use change.
Yes. I have thought about this a lot. There are cycles...

Google did an auction: https://www.cnbc.com/2014/08/19/es-took-off-but-the-auction-...

For many pricing problems, auctions are the answer. Doing a roadshow and tickling investor's interest is a separate problem, but many startups already have a size where they are well-known to a big enough share of investors.
Ironically, the underlying cryptocurrency infrastructure has little to do with the exchange rates. Most traders aren't actually moving cryptocurrency around so much as trading numbers back in forth inside of the exchanges. I suspect that speculators would continue to trade XRP as long as they're allowed to do so on exchanges, but most exchanges are smart enough to start delisting currencies when they get in trouble like this.

It's truly fascinating how little the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies matters to the exchange rates and how they're traded.

I'm not from Basecamp but it's interesting you mentioned it's too fast. I noticed that too and this is coming from someone who listens and watches everything at 2x speed.

I've seen a lot of DHH's talks and demos and never had a problem listening to them at 2x. This is the only time where it feels like he scripted out the entire video word for word and then talked over a screen recording that was recorded separately from his voice. This video sounds nothing like what he normally sounds like (both tone and speed). I really wonder if he recorded this in a booth.
It matters less for internal meetings (maybe improving audio quality could help meetings run more smoothly, but that's just a microphone issue).

If any of your employees talk to external clients, I can absolutely see value in getting them set up with a better webcam and internet connection, and I don't think you'd want every sales rep and partner engineer spending a day futzing around with an enthusiast-grade setup.

I think it is inevitable with online courses of this scale, that the instructor recorded for the video lectures can't be involved on the day to day of the course. It is the same for e.g. Coursera courses where it is peers and a bunch of students from the university answering questions in the forum not the professor.

I quite like the model of Schoolism.com art classes where you can either pay a monthly subscription for all access, start/finish any time or pay a quite a bit higher fee per course with fixed schedule and personalized feedback from the instructor

In theory yes, in practice no.

The problem is that, for these people, inflation comes first to their costs, and only second to their wages. Sure they get to pay back their car loan with cheaper money. But they also have to buy groceries, and the groceries went up. Meanwhile, the number of dollars they owe on their car didn't go down. Sometime later their wages will go up, but until then, they're hurting.

> It feels artificial, especially when practically every media outlet has the same vitriolic tone.

I can tell you why I'm annoyed: I was a big CDPR fan, I loved all three of the (core) Witcher games, so I was hoping something to a similar level of quality. The fact that it wasn't isn't the problem though (especially bugs, which can be fixed), the problem is the CEO's lied, not just to us the customers, but also to their shareholders. They said a year ago that the game could be played from start to finish, but its now come out that devs are saying that was a downright lie. Shortly before release, they said that the game "performs better than expected" on base PS4/Xbox, which was also an outright lie.

I'm angry at the lies.

The game itself has problems: the AI is nonexistent (GTA 3 from 2001 had better car driving AI!), its buggy with regular crashes, physics glitches, audio glitches, quest-breaking bugs. The shooting is not terrible, but its nothing special. The hacking is just a menu with zero depth. Many missions are just "go kill the people" mundane affairs (sad compared to how great The Witcher 3's side quests were). There are characters that get built up and then you never hear from them again. Some characters quest lines feel very short. Few decisions have a lasting impact and the endings are almost all chosen through a selection in the last mission segment (very few prior decisions have any impact on it).

But with that said, the game isn't bad (bugs aside). The music is amazing, the voice acting is great, I found the characters likable, the attention to detail in some areas is fantastic (visiting peoples graves for example) and overall the main quests, especially the ones that were more talking to people than shooting, were really good. I legit felt heart broken at certain phone messages towards the end, they hit me right in the feels.

So its a flawed game with some great ideas and some good content. I feel that if they'd had another year of development time, it would have been an amazing game, but management rushed it out instead.

If I ignore the technical issues and judge the game purely on story, content, gameplay, then I'd give it a 7 to 7.5/10 (with technical problems I'd give it 3/10)

I've played it through once (and reloaded right before the end to see a second ending) and I don't regret buying it, I got my moneys worth. However, its nowhere near the hype their marketing promised and its nowhere near the quality that The Witcher 3 was.
I agree - this has been a theme of 2020. It's like the entire media gets its talking points from a single place.

More surprisingly to me is that people still give modern media any credibility whatsoever. I turned on NPR the other day and had to turn it off after 15 minutes. I can't imagine why anyone would listen anymore.

Don't agree to anything. That is all you have to do. When the company tries to raise money later, they will be asked about any other people who have an interest. At that point your company will need to address your issues and they will have money/incentive to do it. You don't need to be mean spirited, just say "Okay, I have my 40% and let me know if in the future you want to buy me out." And be fair.

Don't walk away, don't sign anything that isn't fair to you, don't be mad, just be patient.
