I think the distinctions between supports and essential to value get pretty subjective. Since 2008 the number of contracting roles has increased quite a bit and there are disputes as to whether Uber drivers (or engineers) are employees. I’d claim there is an unnecessary and unhelpful bias towards outsourcing (not saying that it’s always wrong, just more prevalent than ideal...).
> Modern ABA has no punishment as negative feedback component.

Modern ABA is good at finding things that are extremely unpleasant to autists, but seem okay to normies, and use those as a punishment. Perfectly legal. (And even this improvement only came after the alternatives were made illegal.)

I am curious what would be your example of ABA without punishment. Could you perhaps send me a link to a video? Maybe we make different conclusions from watching the same thing.
This also reminds me of the many people who complain about my YouTube thumbnails from time to time.

I do have the 'open mouth' from time to time (I hate it but do it)—and the reason is not because I think that's appealing, professional, or amazing.

It's because through a lot of A/B testing over the past year, the same quality and subject matter in a given video without a dumb thumbnail gets at least 30% less impressions on YouTube.

What use is making great content if your marketing around it can't get people to read/view it?

You have to hold your nose to do any marketing (IMO), and there's a reason most of us on HN distrust salespeople and marketing people. But they exist for a purpose. I've had to dip my toes in those murky waters to be able to sustain the open source work I'm doing.
The currencies (Diem and XRP) would be similar in nature, since they're not mined but centrally issued, and their value is determined by a combination of factors (the issuance, decay, and trading).

As far as I know Libra/Diem is more customer-facing, whereas Ripple is mostly marketed to banks for faster international transfers.
PE of 15 is unrealistic; 2 to 3 for an unproven business at that scale is what you would likely receive when pursuing a sale.

It’s not illegal to breed dogs anywhere in the US AFAIK. The act of leaving your dog un-neutered/spayed is looked down upon and suggested against because they can breed on their own (and produce a lot more dogs) if they escape their owners.

Lots of people breed dogs inside and outside metropolitan areas.

What makes you so sure that these people were arrested for telling the truth? What about telling the truth would be an offense worthy of arrest in the US? Assange and Manning come to mind, for leaking government secrets.

But according to the article, most arrests happened in connection with Black Lives Matter protests.

It seems equally plausible that more people than ever try to evade arrest by claiming they are journalists. Or journalist have less and less ethics when doing their jobs.

Not saying that's the root cause, just that you can not simply assume all those people were arrested for telling "the truth".

And how do people who bemoan that stand on the subject of censorship on social networks?
there is no other space available from which one could speak. surveillance capitalism is a totalizing world system.

I'll elaborate to clear that idea up, the government wouldn't be picking in this model, certain frameworks of investor protections wouldn't apply across the entire industry if certain industry wide thresholds were met.

so instead of only rulemaking and comment periods to change bits and pieces of the protections, there would be the overarching trend to dictate whether it applies or not
We change the laws making it harder for it to happen again. We restrict the actions of the individual to make them less able to do it again. We attempt to understand the circumstances that led to them engaging in this behaviour and attempt to mitigate both directly in the case of the individual, and generally for the class of people that this particular criminal represents.

IOW: We try to mitigate and reduce. I am not one tiny bit interested in 'getting back' at the individual. Prison as 'punishment' is fundamentally stupid.
While I supported their right to have a forum, that place is/was a cesspool, but that's the price you pay for freedom of speech. Ultimately they failed (and will soon go down) and that's a good thing and it makes me feel better about the country. I suspect that in a year or two that Parler will also fail but the fact that they can exist still makes me proud to be in the USA where speech is speech as long as it doesn't incite violence or danger to individuals.
You mean to tell me that an academy that is commonly used as a boarding school for the wealthy and the privileged spawned a culture that seems to suggest they thought they could get away with anything and we're clearly better than other people?

I would read "digital transmission service" as a service offering digital transmission, but that's not what the bill says. It says "the term ‘digital transmission service’ means a service that has the primary purpose of publicly performing works by digital transmission;" which to my eyes does not clearly restrict it to platforms as opposed to, at, a YouTube channel. Unless, as you say, there is a restriction somewhere unspecified on what can be meant by "service".
> Some had very impressive careers, but when you realize that first opportunity was only because of a parental connection, suddenly it seems a bit hollow.

The first opportunity is always the toughest. Also grew up around wealthy people, vast majority of them fall into the category you describe.

I was lucky to meet someone early in my adulthood who would always stress "What part did YOU do?" "Show me YOUR code"

What I like about him is you can't get the bullshit you describe past him. He always breaks down what you say into the most simplest form to ascertain what truth exists within your words. He won't let you ride another person's coattail.

Well, we don't know the other side of the story.

But knowing what we know, what's the best case scenario for the OP? Even if he's 100% right and the cofounder is the worst human being on the planet, what's ultimately the best outcome they'll get out of a startup with $0 revenue, maybe a potential $60k ARR with ads (but maybe not), and has $40k in the bank?

I get the impression this is all happening because things are going badly, not because things are really about to take off.

My point is that it may really really suck, but I just don't see a path, even if everything goes perfectly, where the net gain is worth it.
Notice though that the game is only distributed on platforms controlled by large corporations. So it's kind of like going to a movie theater to watch a big budget movie where the villain is an evil corporation (e.g. the 2004 Manchurian Candidate remake). That's why I liked the OP's line that the only punk move is not to play, and why I submitted this story even though I'm not into gaming.

I think their ability to perpetually generate gains in productivity and master client service are the bigger factors of their success. The steamrolling no doubt contributes to the success of certain aspects of the business, but it's doubtful that it's a leading factor.

Uber, for instance, also steamrolls rivals and partners but its failure as a company is largely due to the total lack of productivity gains in their business model (where they actually lost the gains available in traditional taxi companies).
Author asks 1 semi-security-related question, I think here we go, follows up with "so you guys acquired some unrelated product, how's that going?"

I agree, that bug is probably the most ridiculous. To be honest I'm trying to fathom how it even exists, it seems so easy to just up whatever limit is imposing that size.
Is the implication that those who have other good non-military options choose not to wait out the staff duties? Or that having the qualities that make you a good officer in combat hinder you in the staff roles?

If everyone has to rotate through, I’m trying to make the connection on why it’s “designed” to filter out the good officers while the less-good stick around.
No surprise, Stellar was a pre-mined shix-coin, you have no idea how hard it was for me (Bitcoiner) at IBM listening to those imbeciles go on and on about the 'panacea' they were going to build with solidity (the worst most convoluted language I've ever encountered), hyperledger patchwork solutions and operating on ripple and stellar [0].

Those guys seriously had no idea what they were talking about 95% of the time, and despite being being one of the few that had both a Consultant with (at the time 8 years in Crytocurrency) and Developer roles prior to having my own fintech startup in Bitcoin for 4 years before that I was always the 'debbie downer' when I tried to explain the limitations of this technology and brought people back to Earth. Especially at the time as we were dealing with the war leading up to Segwit and Bcash hardfork and barely starting to make inroads with Lightning Network proofs of concept in the Bitcoin community. I'm glad I left when I did, but IBM had everything going for it in that space and despite that they still managed to cock things up because they're too blinded by their old contracting business model instead of actual innovation. They lost their vision a long time ago, and subsisting on Government and Military contracts is what probably made them this complacent.

In short, now after ~10 years in Crypto you'd be an idiot to deal with xrp and I don't feel bad for anyone that gets burned; I'd prefer it died without with no State intervention, but as some of you may know we've dealt with a lot of that in Bitcoin and only came out stronger while this may kill this project entirely. Just keep that in mind when you see why Bitcoin keeps defying every possible analyzer's projections and why even its main detractors (JP Morgan et al) have had to eat their weight in crow and are trying to get in after having ruined the banking Industry yet again with their largess and corrupt business model.

Seems like this is more about teaching about application engineering rather than the engineering theories. If this is the case, I don't think the $250 is worth it? You'll probably get much further mileage by just using that $250 to make stuff. Get some cardboard, popsicle sticks (or even wood) + arduino and sensors with grove connectors.
The funny reveal about bitcoin is that it is literally impossible to have a 100% safe way to store them.

This isn't accurate. The gold standard for bitcoin is using multisig, where multiple (m of n) keys are required to access the bitcoin.

For example, anyone can setup a 3 of 5 multisig which requires 3 of the 5 keys to spend or move the bitcoin. These keys would be stored in separate hardware wallets stored in vaults anywhere in the world.

In the case of MicroStrategy, one could imagine them using multisig, so that if Michael Saylor dies in a tragic boating accident, board members of his company would be able to access the bitcoin the company owns.

Multisig has been available almost since the beginning of bitcoin but only recently became more mainstream as the value of bitcoin continues to increase.

I'm faced with this decision now, and am leaning towards not neutering my pup. At the very least, I'll be waiting until he's one year old, when most of his sexual development has wound down. The vets I've been to have both encouraged I do it, at 6 months and at 9 months. And they have the financial incentive to do so.

The whole practice feels archaic and somewhat cruel. I understand why people do it, but I wonder how much of it is societal/vet pressure rather than in the best interest of the dog/owner.

It is competing with environment control on price. If I can change lighting with a $10 lamp or two and clean up the space behind me then why do I need "low light capability" and shallow depth of field?

When this middle ground is marketed, it should be against the convenience of NOT having to arrange your surroundings "Just so".

What do you mean by "this"? The headline? The article makes the claim, In 1970, less than 10 percent of licensed dogs were spay or neutered. Today, about 80 percent are.

That leave about 20% of licensed dogs and who-knows what percent of unlicensed dogs unneutered. This leaves plenty of space for both neutering to be the norm and for some people to breed their own dogs...
Take it from me, a negotiated buy-out is the way to go. I had to buy out a former partner and negotiated a payment over 12 months. It worked out for everyone.

Current valuation should be valuation at the time of the investment multiplied by a small growth factor (1.5x perhaps).

Your stake is the amount you would have owned as of the first cliff (and not any sooner), which is 10% after the investment round.

if the company was valued at $1M at investment, then it would be worth maybe $1.5M at time of the 1yr cliff given the growth factor.

Your 10% of that is $150,000. The company should pay you $12,500 per month for 12 months to fully buy you out. And the company should time the payments to reduction in your equity. If they speed up payments, it speeds up the buy out. If they slow it down, it slows down the buy out.

You should also renegotiate any non-compete.

All of the bullets in your comment explain why Ripple is bad, and you’ve somehow twisted that logic into justifying that it’s good with your last sentence. It’s elitist at best, outright evil at worst. I’m not really sure what goal it serves.

If your point is that we should just “take all the warning labels off of everything and let the situation resolve itself,” no thanks. I don’t have the time to research the exact origin of everything I put in my mouth. I have to trust that when I buy food, someone out there has at least made an attempt to minimize the chances that it contains loads of mercury.

Are you running extensive tests on everything you eat and drink? The air you breathe? Sure, companies might not want to ruin their reputation by selling such goods, but, then again, we have Ripple. So which is it?

Or maybe I just need to be more selective about which companies I choose, right? Despite seeing exit scam after exit scam, incompetent blunder after blunder, that will surely protect me better than the SEC et al doing their damn jobs.

No. I want oversight. Sure, that doesn’t mean I can let my guard down; I still have to be selective. But at least there’s a pretty low chance that the brand-name toothpaste I use tonight—or the <insert snake oil here> I use instead—is slowly killing me.
The Sony A7SIII sensor is just as good as it gets outside of cinema rental market. But certainly any post 2010 APS-C or bigger Sony should do to reliably differentiate from consumer webcams, all you need is a bit more light.

Stellar is more like LTC as McCaleb took Ripple's code and forked it.

But Ethereum Classic and Ethereum share a common blockchain history and it proves that the community doesn't always follow blindly the proposals of the Ethereum devs.

That event (a part of the community splitting of on a hardfork and forming Ethereum Classic) has affected the governance of Ethereum ever since. Not directly, but indirectly.

Every hardfork is now checked for contentious changes very thoroughly. The last major change that didn't make it because of that was the proposed change to the mining algorithm (granted, ProgPOW had other problems as well).

Most traders aren't actually moving cryptocurrency around so much as trading numbers back in forth inside of the exchanges.

Yes. That's why Coinbase got out of margin trading. They claim the SEC made them do it. But all the SEC did was to say that "delivery" meant delivery to the customer's wallet, not an entry on Coinbase's books. Coinbase was willing to exit margin trading rather than actually pay out.
