I've been happy with them so far, although I only have a few customers. The backend dashboard feels a little MVP but everything works well. The checkout flow is also hosted so you just embed that into your app which is nice.
Anecdotally and from my personal experience, this is unfortunately accurate. I would add two points to this depiction of scholastic life:

Teaching is not a highly regarded position in US society in general (I.e. those who cannot do, teach).

There is a trend within the US and UK to view STEM subjects negatively. The derogatory “nerd” stereotype is not so prevalent among other cultures. Growing up in the US, it was very clear that you could be either attractive/well-liked or good at math. For those that happened to possess both features, discussions would come from the angle that the person is attractive/well-liked in spite of being good at STEM. The underlying premise seemed to be that you had to extra good-looking to be labeled as attractive if you were also to do well in math.
Chrome has already done that for a long time.

> Meanwhile you act as a company with a single B2B client and one invoice a month

There were some changes in this area recently. Paddle is now providing you two reverse invoices each month, one for sales in the USA done by Paddle.com Inc. and one for sales in the rest of the world done by Paddle.com Market Ltd.

For the accounting purposes you have two B2B clients (belonging to the same group). You still receive a single wire transfer though.
you're mistaking me for a libertarian. Which is understandable, because you run into so many of those in the bitcoin space, so no hard feeling! :D They irritate me as well.

The problem with the current system is obviously not that it's not "free market" enough. I fully agree with you on property. And fiat currencies are fine with me in principle, the structural underpinnings of our current ones are the horrid part, and the power structures this underpins.

What I try to communicate is that bitcoin can also be a tech for leftist hope, because it uses the greed of the free market people to strengthen something that actually undermines the current corporatist capture of the state, and does so massively. It's decentralized and a real threat to the banking system and its wealth extortion. It's inclusive, as its permissionless nature will bank anyone with a phone. It also undermines US hegemony, as the US control over the banking system through SWIFT allows it to engage in economic warfare against everyone it doesn't like. The fact that bitcoin is an option for sanctioned countries is a medal for it in my book. And I know that's utopian and the US will try to find a way to kill it before it can actually do any f these things, but that's exactly the reason why people with critical attitudes to corporatism and US hegemony should help it along, not participate in the moral panics against it.
Law-induced cultural differences will be huge though: where I live there are strict opening hours restrictions and the only exception is "travel needs" and it's not just something you formally register for, you have to operate a pump (or be part of a train station). The result is that the entire market of what is convenience stores elsewhere is owned by fuel stations here and many people suspect that they might actually sell the fuel at a loss to lure people into their absurdly high-margin all-hours supermarkets. But I doubt that "we have a few chargers" would be accepted as a qualification for the "travel needs" exception and then pumps wouldn't be at risk of going away.

(the "travel needs" exception lead to some hilarious regulatory quirks for a while, when in an attempt to curb streetside drinking, no doubt pushed by pub owner lobbyism, fuel stations where restricted from selling to people who didn't come by car. They were literally expected to check the parking lot before handing out liquor)
I completely agree that there is no conclusive evidence. However, it is the number one activity that influences cognitive performance in all animals that have been tested. Saying that sleep is not proven to be important for intelligence because the causal link has not been established seems a bit like saying exercise has nothing to do with muscle growth, because the full causal chain has also not been established (we do know a pretty full causal chain in this case, so maybe it is not the best example). I think if you were a betting man, and as a scientist you have to be to some degree, you would put your money on sleep supporting some essential process for intelligence.
I get the point, though in reality, the people without any real friends, are the most vulnerable to be dragged into a cult and once they are in - cannot go, because they would then be truly alone again.

Yjs is exactly that. It is a simple abstraction for building any kind of collaborative application. It has ready to use solutions for most problems related to this problem space. The selective UndoManager, for example, is generic&configurable and can be reused for all kinds of stuff. It supports many different editors. It supports many different (scalable) backends.

It is much more than state synchronization.

If there is anything missing, then let's work on it. Yjs is extensible and allows for custom features that others can reuse.
I think this is the death-knell for old-school management. Which has been coming for a while.

Employment used to be a for-life thing. You worked for an organisation your whole life, and climbed the management ladder as your career progressed. The number of people you managed was a sign of your success, and the number of people that the organisation employed was a sign of its success. Management's role was to make everyone work hard, and "working hard" was usually measured by how long people stayed in the office.

Now, we work for maybe 2 years for each of a series of different employers. We stay long enough to get some ticks on our resume, then move onwards and upwards. Freelancing/consulting for periods of our careers is normal. But management hasn't really changed or adapted to this - there's still very much a sense that a manager is there to make everyone work hard, and most organisations have no idea how productive their employees (because they measured productivity by how long people were at their desks).

So management culture needs to change. For the better, I think. But it's going to be a shock for a lot of people.

It's also totally trivial when you rewrite it slightly: (r + r + 1 - 1) / 2. So basically adding r to itself to get 2r then dividing by 2 gives you back r, with a pointless plus and minus 1 thrown in.

Based on some quick reading, Pi is a scam. There is no blockchain or 'mining' happening, they instead get you to watch ads on your phone every so often.

> you can get exposure to Robinhood's post-IPO market cap

Ish. Creating derivatives around private assets is hard. Anyone who bought FTX swaps in e.g. Coinbase pre-IPO lost money on bad pricing alone. It’s for these reasons that their product is not compliant with decades-old U.S. securities law. Unfortunately, it’s free to roam in younger jurisdictions.

Disclaimer: I work in the private markets. I used to make markets in derivatives. I haven’t seen a single solution, to date, that competently combines the two.
Instead of 'contingent' v. 'non-contingent' advice, a more helpful distinction IMO is Taleb's notion of skin in the game: don't trust people that have nothing to lose in case your decision leads to a mess. Contingent-sounding (or hedgehog-born) advice can be viewed from a less biased place then.

Of course, non-contingent and fox-originating ideas retain their value, even when given by uninvolved Saints.

It does, I absolutely hate using authoritative argument but my family raises cattle and I've never seen a watered pasture in my life. I wonder what's the background of people teaching me online "how things really are".

In bad years when it doesn't rain enough for grass to grow, people get rid of the animals they can't afford to feed. There's no system in place to water the pastures and "save the harvest".

If you buy cheap, low quality meat from animals that never grazed and are fed grain and silage all year round then yes these feed crops would probably have been watered at some point (but even then, not 100% of the water comes from irigation). The broad avilability of meat grown in miserable conditions is a problem as well but not the one I'm talking about.

We're looking forward to meeting you! :)
If you are in a meeting where "thought leaders" are debating idea vs idea – STOP. Don't engage. You will be pulled in, some words or false statements will be very tempting to prove or disprove.

Sometimes you may even be asked to take a decision or commitment on the spot to just an "idea". STOP right there and don't fall into their trap. They just want their "idea" to win, and then they'll disappear in the execution, leaving you holding the bag. Worse still, in case the idea was flawed, they'll refuse to admit. They'll come back and reinforce the idea, not allowing you to pivot or learn from mistakes. That's the nature of thought leadership – the "thought" matters more than everything else.

All ideas are open and welcome, but you don't take commitments based on just ideas. Ask them to show a spec or concrete doc, and start discussing spec vs spec, detail vs detail, plan vs plan, data vs data or anything concrete. You'll find many of these thought leaders silently disappear into the background then.

They will come back and try to abstract-ify the discussion again before decisions are taken. That's why you set ground rules before the meeting begins, and not when it's happening.

Thought leaders are all nice and fancy, until rubber hits the ground. 100% agree with just this title alone: Don't feed them.

> My statement was that if you always switch, it doesn't matter whether the host is blind or not.

Well, it does matter unless you have the rather unusual rule that you win if the host reveals the prize - normally it would make a lot more sense to say you lose in that case. (In fact this is the deep reason why switching works in the original problem - if you switch, then you win if a blind host "would have" revealed the prize, whereas if you don't switch, you lose).

The relevant general fact is that if the host is blind, your strategy never makes any difference.

> Decrementing the game count or the divisor would be the like crossing out or ignoring decision tree branches.

Well, there is no decision to be made if the host revealed the prize - you never get the choice of whether to switch or not. When we ask about the probabilities after a certain choice, at the point where you're making that choice you already know that you've certainly had to make that choice. Otherwise could equally well say that you have to include the probability of getting through to the final round, the probability of getting onto the gameshow in the first place, ...

Imagine a world where there is no, say, AWS. So many basic security things that we take for granted are automatically set up for you in the cloud, as most shops out there could not care for it to save their own lives.

Oh, wow, the executive is using their power to invade privacy for political ends. This is a shocking and unforeseen development. Nobody foresaw this or pointed out it was a likely outcome of the trends in computing and intelligence gathering. Fortunately the politicians involved had nothing to hide.

It isn't even obvious this is going to be unusual in the future. The next right wing candidate will no doubt be suspected of being [insert fig leaf] and in need of attention. The intelligence apparatus will turn out to be involved too, at some point.

The only answer is less government power and more privacy.

> If web-based installs were the norm, there would be better security hardening efforts made. Today Apple and Google don't have to care about it. If there reputation was at stake, they would care a great deal.

Well, web base installs are the norm. That's how malware and ransomware spreads.
The problem with security is that is usually anti features. That't why webbrowsers use the path of least resistance and declare that they are secure, they have containers and isolation etc. And Google with project Zero is playing the good guy.

It is all security theater. Security is expensive and no one wants to invest in it because it does not have a clear ROI.

> I'm also of the belief that we don't have to be a nanny state. We trust people to pour gasoline, drive death chariots at 70 miles per hour, open lines of credit as teenagers, buy and shoot guns, etc.

We do not trust people to buy and shoot guns.

> Why all the ceremony here? I think it serves the owners of the platform more than us.

Of course it serves only them. Security in android stops when you give apps access to SD card or camera or microfone or phone or contacts. And the fact that Google apps have all this access by default says a lot about how much google is interested in security.

Okay, but at that point from a leftist perspective it's just accelerationism and hoping that the revolution comes down in our favor without laying any of the ground work to prevent a rise of fascism (to "heal" the state) or a decline into feudalism (via stateless capitalism).

There's also no reason to believe that the existing hegemons won't be the ones ultimately controlling crypto if doing so becomes necessary to their survival. Crypto may be digital and out of reach for states, but the humans owning it are physical and very susceptible to physical injury. Capitalism has recuperated anti-capitalism, it will recuperate crypto if necessary (and some may argue it's already happening).

The current system from e.g. Google is pretty weak IMO, it's made to not piss the sides off, so if you load up Google Maps in Pakistan you see the disputed territories belonging to Pakistan, and in India you see them belonging to India. But if it's the stuff of history it would be interesting to display the areas overlapping each other, or to mark that there was active conflict over the territory at that point in time.
I don't think it is technically possible to ban bitcoin, only centralized exchanges.

If a country decides to ban exchanges, it could end up creating an untraceable black market since people might start exchanging crypto <-> cash in the streets.

Intelligence agencies would probably not be happy to lose such traceability capability.

Drug dealers would be taking over this black market as it creates new incomes while simultaneously helping some of their money laundering needs.
