Maybe this will change your mind slightly?:

There's a bouncy ball in a box with pressure sensing walls. Each wall feeds the pressure data to HDD physical storage. The ball is released from the top wall at some random angle toward the bottom. The storage devices spin at 100prm and in sync.

Looking at the data from the 6 storage devices, I would see the first entry is from wall_ceiling, recorded at plate rotational angle 0pi. Then the next entry in the collection is from wall_floor say at 1pi. Then wall_left at 1.5pi then wall_ceiling again at 2.1pi, then wall_right at 3pi.

The ball-sensor-storage system alone never needed a "flow of time". The data printout at the end is just a piece of paper with a few columns of numbers. A function is also a column of numbers. And so is a circle or any other polygon.

You may think the printout went from 1 entry to 2 entries to 3 entries...that surely was a flow of time. No. A flow of time is the subjective feeling of a continuous you "flowing" through time. It is entirely internal. The printout system does not have a flow of time. It has time, but again, Barbour is arguing time is extra baggage which is unneeded when you have the motion of the particles - as above. It adds nothing. At each step the printout is entirely given by the behavior of the other particles in the system. Why not our brain states too? When you see "blue" you are seeing 480nm wavelength photons hitting your retina and cones. When you feel continuous, each brain state of yours is kind of a running average of your previous brain states (memories). Or something like that. Maybe some kind of recursive build up of memories at each instant.

But you say you must "flow" even for brief moments to perceive something. Even if it's in discrete steps that's fine with you. But you have to be willing to go one step further to get their arguments. There is only assemblages of particles. And somehow certain assemblages lead to self-reference and awareness, of which we call conscious experience and "flow of time".

Can a function "feel" something? Who knows. But the course of human scientific endeavor has taken us very far from where we started.
Most of the bigger and better DTC marketing agencies I know are making the same move as your concept. Buying or starting internal brands as they can scale them better and more effectively than their clients can. Why are you different / better?

They know that they can and will be found, and are running scared. In general ransomware works because it takes a lot of resources to find the criminals behind it. And generally there's not enough resources to do this. But once it hits a level where it creates a widespread national problem, it becomes more of an act of war. Then you get people involved that aren't just law enforcement and have tools that aren't available to law enforcement with large budgets.
Nobody should be afraid of 20000 connections or even 20 billion connections. The cost of having a lot of TCP connections hanging around are wildly over-estimated. You should not even think about subsetting unless/until you can measure the cost in terms of CPU spent on keepalive messages or memory spent on connection state, or you're getting more than millions of file descriptors on a single machine. Even if you are subsetting, very small subsets (like 10) are definitely harmful, and hiding the full set of candidate backends is also harmful. If you are subsetting, allow your clients to observe the global state and make their own decisions. What's it going to cost you? A few thousand IP addresses and port numbers in memory? That's basically nothing.

I'm thinking of building a decentralized dating app (without crypto). It's something like WordPress but for dating. People can host it on-premise. You can say it's like white-labelling dating app. So each community (church, gym, yoga studio, etc) can have their own dating app and don't have to live on the mercy of Match.com. This way, we can keep Match.com in check.
Humility, patience, and humor. Understand that product and marketing people work with different priorities and constraints than you do. They will likely make mistakes and learn from them, just like developers should. Engage more with the planning and marketing process rather than put yourself in conflict. Your salary probably stays the same regardless, so don’t stress over things you can’t change. Don’t invest your ego in your work.

Engineers and people who call themselves engineers are usually smart, but also frequently make the mistake of thinking they are the only smart people in the organization.

Salary taxation usually means you are earning your dollars by being part of a functioning society.

I fully agree. During my own studies of computer science the common excuse / pretext for not lecturing such useful things was that tools get outdated quickly.

There is nothing similar between Rust's borrow checker and anything in C++.

In modern C++ you get compile-time correctness by construction: you do things that reduce to correct code. All of the low-level mistakes remain possible, but are not tempting. Low-level, C-like operations are like writing "unsafe" in Rust; you can if you want to, or need to, but they are uglier, and anyway almost always not needed. Just as when coding a Rust "unsafe" block: if it ever is, you use extra care.

In a very real sense, C++ libraries perform in the role of the Rust compiler by insulating you from operations that are risky. The operations a good library exposes are safe. A Rust compiler bug could expose you to a memory fault, in the same way that a C++ library bug could; but the Rust compiler is well exercised and tested, much as is is a mature library. You need libraries anyway.

You mention taking companies public. I actually used to do consumer PE for a family fund with a buy and hold / long term growth strategy like yours. We advised founders, grew cpg companies, took them public. I really never saw a CPG company go public without expanding into brick & mortar at some point - do you think this has changed? Are you planning to help your brands enter b&m retail if it makes sense down the road? It was often a big reason CPG companies wanted PE backing, frankly. Also, lmk if by ecomm you really meant ecomm retailers in which case this is irrelevant.. seems like you meant dtc cpg.
Email can't be secured for many reasons; use a modern, secure messaging app for that, such as Signal. Regarding encryption in particular:

Encrypting email metadata prevents emails from being delivered and processed. Metadata is as valuable as the content of the email.

Encrypting emails at rest prevents server-side services from operating, such as webmail.
Isn't this just a better reason to switch to decentralized anonymous exchanges like Bisq or used anonymized transaction technologies like ring signatures and zero knowledge proofs (Monero/ZChash)?

I've used Coinbase so far to learn about crypto, and I fully intend on paying all taxes owed, but Bisq seems like the next best on-ramp if it can help avoid the headache of treating crypto transactions like stocks rather than currencies.

Of course I understand the sentiment that people should pay their taxes to society, but I wonder if this is not just going to result in an escalating arms race. This was prevented with dollars since most dollars earned by the populace can be traced back to a paystub, but once you've earned crypto in an anonymous transaction, it seems like a losing battle to try and tax any aspect of that.

I can't help but feel the IRS would be better served by taxing at the off-ramp like a sales tax at a POS rather than trying to fold this into an existing income tax structure. A government can kind of control a brick and mortar retailer or Amazon more so than an individual person who say sold a book direct to consuers for Monero or sold their car for ZCash.

Is the federal government prevented from creating a national sales tax for some reason?
Forgive me for my naivety, but whats the point of the founders staying when you're taking out almost all the potential upside for them by acquiring them? Surely if they believed in the ability for their company to succeed long term they'd stick by it without taking an acquisition early. If your advantage is capital and experience, why would they not just go for a debt based option like clearbanc and retain their potential upside?
Well-paid freelance developers usually IR35 - set up a limited company, pay themselves the smallest possible salary which avoids National Insurance contributions, and take the rest as dividends.

This used to be an easy way to minimise tax, although now it's a more complex calculation. And HMRC have to be persuaded that you really are freelance, and not just a long-term contractor working on-site.

There other semi-legal dodges including companies which loan you your income - minimal tax - and then for various more or less credible reasons the loan is written off and never has to be repaid. HMRC usually take a while to catch to these kinds of schemes. But short term gain can lead to long-term pain because if they're ruled unlawful HMRC can claw back tax retrospectively.

This is tangential, but I wonder if Native Image's focus on compile-time PE, and the overall design of GraalVM, would make it feasible to AOT-compile a sufficiently static subset of JavaScript to efficient native code. If so, that could influence my choice of language for new projects.

The difference here is that it happens when you open the project in the editor. If I'm suspicious of some code my first reaction would be to open it my editor and inspect it.

The ESLint extension always asks whether you trust the `eslint` executable before it's enabled. It's still quite easy to click "allow" without thinking about it, but at least you'll have a choice to not execute potentially random code.
You think the US Constitution of the United States* of America restricts what the US can do to non-citizens who aren't in the US at all?

I see duplication as a good thing. For every app on the App Store there are 1.5 Android apps. These extra apps mostly likely do similar things, but they offer extra features or perhaps are implemented more efficiently. In comparison the Apple apps will not offer these extra features/performance, following a one-size-fits-all approach. The more diverse ecosystem wins, because people have never really prioritized eye candy over usefulness. Of course, economically Apple development is more profitable, the same way that COBOL development is more profitable than webdev, but this is only a short term effect.
Now I don't need to download, setup and install Postgresql, I can run it with Docker with one command.

Why don't do the same for a typical Kubernetes setup with Hasura, API server, Gateway, load balancer, Postgresql, Redis, and a couple of services for logs and monitoring all in one, with all the networking stuff already setup? Just give me an image or template made by someone else, maintained on Github, and ready to customise and develop for my needs.
I think that, considering the mandate of the CDC, a certain amount of cynical understanding of the average American in its messaging is the only practical thing to do. That's a really tough line to take, and I do not envy the PR guys that have to negotiate it.

You may not like this, but what it boils down to (as you indicated) is that unless you can improve the average American through education or cultural shift, you've got this pretty grim baseline. The PR culture is a response to that reality.
Also "used" in this context clearly just means "spinning". I did a modest project the other day involving my electric drill. It involved 20 holes, each hole drilled in two steps (pilot with a jig in place, full depth with the jig removed), for 40 spins.

I'll guess that each spin took about 3 seconds (because that makes the math easy), so 2 minutes total. I couldn't exactly share the drill with a neighbor in the approximate hour that I spent measuring and repositioning the jig between uses.

In the context of duty cycle lifetime, maybe 8 minutes isn't that low -- but I am definitely using it for more than 8 minutes.

If you have a partner on a similarly decent salary, then probably quite comfortably. If you are the only significant earner, then probably not that comfortably. I managed to buy a 2-bed flat in zone 2 in 2013 for £400k but it has no garden and has other downsides that I would have liked to avoid if I could have afforded more. You have to really be earning CEO levels of pay or buy with a partner in order to live really comfortably within zone 2.

I was just thinking about this more, and CS programs kinda remind me more of college sports programs than traditional college majors: if you haven't spent years playing the sport before going to college, you're probably gonna have a bad time. Can you still do it? Maybe, but... damn, it's going to be hard, and take some unusual levels of determination.

Of course some of the problem is that CS programs use computers so much. Which I know may seem like a silly complaint, but I think the fundamental issue is CS-the-science being mashed together with what's really a vocational program (which is what 99+% of students and employers actually want out of it, and its being "real" CS is mostly just an IQ filter). I imagine if you go into, say, a junior college HVAC program not knowing which is the business end of a screwdriver, you'd also be at a big disadvantage compared with most of your peers, and probably feel really out-of-place for quite a while.
