People are downvoting this, and I'm guessing because they interpret it as saying it's fine that the technical co-founder is being forced down + out like this, or that they don't "deserve" their shot at vesting that 40%. Not my intent - it's immoral, and probably, illegal. Pulling this 1mo before the cliff is especially evil.

The difficulty is the CEO has a lot of flexibility in equivalent legal actions like firing the co-founder, issuing 10X more shares, and diluting the 40% to 4%. Even if the technical co-founder does successfully walk away with 40% today and things go well, investors in funding rounds years from now will still pressure them to do so ("why is 40% of the company shares dead weight? That should go to new employees!"). The situation stinks, as does the negotiation position.
Probably the best midrange webcam you could get would be a good mount for your smartphone and some decent software. I use my phone and a headset for zoom meetings - I use software to add the phone as a soft webcam to my PC.
That was my thought. This is exactly what you would do if you thought you needed a little tech work up front but that it wasn't actually all that important to the future of the thing.
From what I had read at the time (may be better now) that software was bad and the low quality output from it negated most of the benefits of going with the mirrorless setup in the first place.

Not the OP, but I think the point is that it's just not a large enough issue for me to care about given how much I like what they produce. Honestly, I just really don't care. I don't like it, but there are a lot of things in life I don't like. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this view.

I tend to see chauvinism as either aware or self-aware. The French would be an example of self-aware arrogance, whereas the anglosphere tends to be completely unaware and this leads to patronizing attitudes. It's interesting to see the effects of this difference.
This distinction doesn't seem to stand up under scrutiny.

"Shop at XYZ Pharmacy! Our prices are 5% lower than our competitors!"

That's an ad, it's persuasive, but it's also about awareness. There doesn't seem to be any moral issue with it.

Even if I replace our theoretical 5% savings with a picture of a scantily clad woman, or a group of young and happening business people, that's still persuasion - but we haven't suddenly created some moral harm.

Take Two really take the boat on this one.

This mod is still used to this day).

It is also curious that Take-Two never went after projects like SAMP, MTA or even FiveM's creator original project CitizenIV. It was only when they added micro transactions.

Consider that the tunnels will encourage economic activity, which will encourage population growth at the nodes. I've always felt that the North American method of building transit between 'natural' urban centers is wrong, and that the Japanese have it right--demolish everything, build a rail line, and economic life will flourish around the nodes.

This is somewhere in between I think.

So you really believe that the 74MM Americans who voted for a Republican president, not to mention all of the people who voted Republican down ballot and in state legislatures, are all just anti-mask, minority-hating troglodytes who support anything and everything police do?

It's the ridiculous minimization of complex issues that leads to polarization, not "Trumpism". Why would anybody who voted Republican even want to entertain your point of view when you hold nothing but patronizing contempt for them?

My opinion is that I dislike bringing up Kim as a martyr for this every time it comes around/find it somewhat damaging to the argument. The entirety of the data and all servers were hosted in the US. They had vendors in the US, they had a significant US connection and jurisdiction almost certainly applies.

Cameras are expensive. The low-end to mid-tier ones that we are used to in our devices are subsidised. Just like they cut the price of meat and bread to below cost to get you into the supermarket.

So it’s not a linear price scale because it is distorted at the lower end. There is no motivation for our benefactors to subsidise cameras beyond a certain quality so once you go beyond that you are paying full whack and the economics fall apart.

This principle applies pretty much right across the smart tech ecosystem.

The nice thing is though, that the stuff they are using to subsidise the expensive stuff is dirt cheap so if you’ve a little bit of smarts you can build your own gear for about a 10th of the price, but you will have to sacrifice some of the doo-dahs and bells and whistles but if what you’re going for is something that’s purely functional you will be fine. Use the money saved to buy an expensive streaming cam set up. Do the subsidising yourself.
The president and house were won by the Democrats. Why does a functioning democracy require them to also control the Senate, when the American system of government was expressly designed with this sort of legislative tension in mind?
ARM has always had a strong incentive to promote more ARM platforms. Apple doesn't really change that, and they still pay royalties per chip, even with a perpetual license on the ISA AFAIK.

Simply having less x86/Intel around can't hurt. Competitors are going to want similar battery life. This effectively means ARM. Also, there's now ARM chips being used in very capable laptop, desktop, mobile, and server applications. All of this reduces cross-architecture friction (cross-compiling, different memory models, etc).
I don't think there will be any consequences of importance, for a different, simple reason: people generally resist changing their worldview and will do mental gymnastics to preserve it.

Sure. This is essentially calling that bluff in a reasonable way.
Your timeline is a little mixed up, and I think fixing it will clear up what happened:

- Sony shipped the PS3 with "Other OS" functionality that provided limited hardware support to a guest Linux OS.

- Sony removed that "Other OS" feature without providing a reason why. At that point, the main system's protection was still in place.

- Hotz, after seeing the spotlight on Sony for removing "Other OS", was able to breach the main system's protection without any hardware modification.

- Sony went after Hotz for breaching their OS.

The bottom line was business -- providing full hardware support of "Other OS" would let you distribute Linux games without Sony's blessing (and cut of revenues or developer kits), which ultimately wouldn't be as successful without the absolutely massive marketing and deal-making abilities of one of these platform holders. On the other hand, breaking the main system OS allowed things like pirated games and unsigned code (game hacks) to run on the system, which is hugely problematic for a console that had most of its security on the client machines. The big PSN hack in 2011 followed shortly after Hotz broke the system, and while I've never seen it 100% confirmed, there were rumors at the time that the hack revealed enough of a vector inside the network that the hackers were basically unstoppable.

> but the second-order effects of you not paying may very well affect them in the future

I'm not a copyright abolitionist, but I'm curious what the second-order effects are to giving money to companies like Disney that are using that money to expand IP laws, buy up competitors, and impose one specific view of cinema on the entire market?

People should obey laws because generally it's a good idea in a functioning society to obey laws. But to the extent that people can deprive companies like Disney of revenue without breaking the law, I kind of feel like they should do so. Not just by avoiding their products, but by making it harder for them to make money in general. It would be good at this point for companies like Disney to fail and for the media ecosystem to become more diverse.

There are extremely negative effects that come from allowing one corporation to own so much culture. I'm not going to break the law, but I'm also not going to lose sleep over Disney the corporation losing profits, because I want Disney to lose money, and I want them to produce less content. I don't want Disney to be the biggest media producer on the market, they're crowding other people out and using their leverage to control things they shouldn't be able to control.

It is pretty certain that the first life did not use any kind of genetic material, because that is impossible.

When RNA or any other kind of genetic material first appeared, the first thing that must have been possible to do with it was to copy it, a.k.a. to replicate it.

If the genetic material was used first to do anything useful, e.g. to control protein synthesis or to catalyze directly any useful reaction, that genetic material would have disappeared immediately, because it could not be replicated.

So the first genetic material must have been able of being replicated without doing any useful function, therefore is was actually an RNA virus.

The useful functions must have appeared later and then the genetic material was integrated as an essential part of the living beings, allowing a much faster evolution towards levels of complexity that would have been impossible to reach without having a genetic material.

To be able to replicate the first genetic material, there must have already existed some life forms able to exploit an energy source to reproduce themselves.

You have noticed a correct analogy, exactly like the control automaton of a CPU, which can be either hard-wired, having a dedicated structure that cannot be easily changed to perform other functions, or it can be microprogrammed, using a control memory, whose content can be easily rewritten to implement a very different CPU, a self-reproducing living being can use genetic material, in which case it can easily evolve into a different living being, or it may use no genetic material, but consist, like how it seems to be said in Gánti's work, of which I was not aware until now, by a cycle of reactions, where in each reaction some cell component assembles another cell component, until the last component, which assembles the first component.

Such a living being, without a genetic material, could not evolve easily, because almost any change would have damaged the cycle of reactions, most likely stopping the reproduction.

Regarding RNA, before the first RNA molecule was ever assembled, the existing life forms must have been using ATP and the other nucleotides as dehydrating agents able to condense smaller molecules into larger molecules, e.g. for creating peptide bonds.

Therefore ATP (with some of it current uses) is certainly older than RNA.

The polymerization of nucleotides into RNA must have been initially an undesirable side reaction consuming the useful nucleotides.
Just imagine how much you could get with a wire.
The same is true for the rest of the world too. Americans seem to know two things about Germany: the war and the wall, and they don't know that much about either. It really shows when reddit discusses Germany, because they see everything through that pinhole. Reporters are hardly better.

Hell, I live in Germany, and I can't pretend to know much about rural life there, despite leaving the city more often than the average Berliner. I was stunned by the NPD's slogans, because they never reached Berlin.

I could also say the same about America. I only know reddit's America, and perhaps a few things from living just north of the border. The Internet gave me false confidence in my understanding of America.

Bottom line is you shouldn't use a few headlines convince you that you understand how things run in another country. You also can't judge their actions based on your culture and your legal system.

> I simply do not understand where they're finding people who are willing to work 'crunch' 60 to 75 hour work weeks without overtime to ship a game quicker. There is seemingly a near infinite supply of young, somewhat naive people who can be recruited by video game development studios to do so.

It seems obvious the games industry is manufacturing its own supply of naive young programmers who want to make games. People are drawn to work in this industry after years of consuming the product of the same industry. Extant exploited game developers produce the propaganda that will indoctrinate the next generation of exploited developers.

No, look, i'm generalising. I know some people with liberal views who voted republican simply for tax purposes. Ignoring that this itself may be considered a bad view, I don't look down on republicans like some of my fellow liberal 'elites' do. I see them as human beings who I want to give healthcare and education to, like any other.

But, just as republicans have generalised the motivations of democrats to justify certain destructive behaviours, I generalise the actions of republicans.

I just tried using this, and it was completely unusable. It was constantly operating in the wrong mode, the z/shift keyboard shortcuts would do the wrong thing most of the time (the only time they seemed to possibly work properly was when in text mode, except that then they’re doing something for text mode as well), colour switching normally didn’t work, when I start drawing lines it first draws one segment from some arbitrary location (probably a point on the last line or some arbitrary earlier-drawn line).

There are clearly some very serious logic and mode bugs present.
