I’ve said this in other threads on this topic, but shared lunches are so important. There’s something about eating together that taps into our primitive brains and creates an entirely different dynamic. It’s like we subconsciously see the people we eat with as part of our tribe.

Lunch is, IMHO, the biggest loss when going full remote. It’s also somewhat of a magic bullet for fixing individual communication breakdowns. As a manager, when you see two people failing to coordinate, especially across teams, just have them eat a few lunches together. Offering to have the company pay is usually enough to make it happen. For a few tens of dollars, you establish a relationship with very low communication friction. It’s ridiculously good value for the company.

Yeah, could just do the share issuance in 2 stages: the first at $0.000001 then later at >$1 to raise useful capital.

But multiple share classes often exist anyway for various reasons (different preferences upon liquidation, different voting polices, different retraction policies, different dividend policies, etc)
This is exciting. Who's next to list on LTSE???
Does not look very useful, unfortunately:

"REMINDER: IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT ALL RECENT COMMERCIAL COLOR LASER PRINTERS PRINT SOME KIND OF FORENSIC TRACKING CODES, NOT NECESSARILY USING YELLOW DOTS. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE CODES ARE VISIBLE TO THE EYE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PRINTER MODELS ARE LISTED HERE. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE PRINTERS THAT ARE LISTED HERE AS NOT PRODUCING YELLOW DOTS.

This list is no longer being updated."

I wonder if it would be possible to reverse engineer the firmware, and remove the dot printing, similar to camera hacks that remove feature restrictions.
Maybe we should fund and staff the IRS properly so that they can properly police and audit the wealthy unsteady of relying on “leaks”?

It’s perfectly ok for the wealthy to lobby Congress so that the IRS is neutered, but when a person leaks their info, it’s a crime, huh? Seems like a double standard.

I don't know. A lot more than there are companies like Apple or Google. Don't you see how many small businesses are around you when walking down a random street. Anyway why does it even matter? If only 49% of them succeeded which is less than majority, would that mean poor people cannot become successful entrepreneurs?
In the case of Consumer Reports, it's a nonprofit. All of its financial statements and sources of funding are a matter of public record.

Interesting point. I have a fairly loud ticking wall clock in my living room. When I have guests stay on the sofa I have to remove the battery, it drives them insane. I never notice it ticking at all, I just don't hear it, it's ticking right now because I'm thinking about it.

What I would love is a clock with a consistent sound, mine makes a slightly different tick for some odd positions and that bugs me.

Part of the article mentioned the IRA was disclosed in his application for New Zealand residency. So does NZ publish residency applications? Or was that also leaked?
I'd say this is related to Amazon Prime sales with the Echo Wall Clock.

I was going to buy one for the ability to fast forward time as a trick (which is just how it sets itself, no tricks) the Echo Clock is so close to electronic junk, while also so close to useful.

But I did wonder if children would consider a clocks flow as immutable as older, pre cellphone generations.

This is a cool project. And it'll be interesting to see how future generations see time.

> Is it in the interest of the US to pay Thiel to put his money in a Roth? How much should the US pay? How many of your tax dollars would you want to go to funding tax breaks for Thiel?

I submit that yes, it is in the interest of the US to do this, provided that Thiel is creating value for the US (and to some extent the world) with that money. $5B is approximately one day of US government spending (maybe less now). Letting Thiel invest $5B may not be the best investment decision that the USG has ever made (e.g. Internet funding, Telsa support), but it is way higher than the mean decision.

I moved my work life onto a Lenovo ThinkCentre connected to a 1440p display and a Rode USB mic. Video isn’t worth it when you have amazing audio. I live my life in a browser and a terminal emulator and the hardware is fully supported by my favourite free and open source OS.

The back looks like this, to give an idea of scale:

What a lovely little platform, especially for $100. That’s a price point that makes hardware replacement easy to stomach. It also freed up my MBP for personal stuff only.

Being a desktop it also means I have to “go to the office” to do work stuff. Bliss.
This is not true. While the content may initially be auto-generated, the Google KG is worked on extensively by real people.

What should consumer investors expect to be different when interacting with LTSE listed stocks? I am not asking about the LTSE restrictions on the companies, rather about how trading / etc works with these stocks?

- looks like not actively developed anymore

- no contextual help, though things are reasonably civ-like

- clearly unfinished, some things look like stubs that don't do anything?

- combat mechanics are great: instead of units evaporating altogether, they gradually lose health

- units also slowly lose health over time when wandering around

- max four units per tile

- hexagonal!

I find it a bit strange that she's decrying that the laws makes people afraid to associate with her, but she's perfectly fine with the fact that her clients/customers are criminalized.
It appears to mike like some cognitive dissonance of her to think that her clients are justifiably "bad" by buying her services, but her selling these services is okay.
Maybe I'm naive, but if my customers would face criminal charges for buying my products, I'd speak out on behalf of my customers or (if I really feel they should not buy such stuff) I'd stop selling it to them.
That has nothing to do with Linux at all, you can just as easily get some weird requests from people trying to run your game at 640x480 on Windows 98 or some other strange thing like that.

The usual response here (from any vendor, not just an independent game developer) is to say you only support the latest LTS version of Ubuntu/SteamOS with the officially supported drivers there and that's it. You're absolutely right to do that. If you want obscure distros to be able to run your program, you can open source it and let them deal with the packaging/testing/maintenance. The fact that all the OS packages are open source is the only reason all the random distros are even able to exist, so you're already making it difficult for them when you don't do this. No reason to dance around that.
Linux distro repos are maintained by the community not a corporation. The only app store like that is f-droid.
> Simple law: you cannot invest in your own company in your own Roth IRA because it is blatantly unfair to other investors who don't have similar insider trading abilities.

Why can't other investors create their own startups and invest their money similarly?

Startup founders take a lot of risk. There is a big chance his investment could have been zero. It is strange that ProPublica does not understand this basic concept.

Where is their report on millions of Roth accounts that went to zero?

There’s as many variations of linux as there are people running it. There’s only a few authoritative versions of OSX and Windows. I don’t think it’s too susprising.
Separate computers? Sure. Separate phones? No. I have outlook installed in a little sandbox app (nine), and slack. My slack notifications are blocked. I don't want to have to charge and carry two separate phones every where I go.

I also refuse to install any software on my phone that I'm not comfortable with. For example, outlook wanted permissions to remote wipe my phone and a lot of other skeevy stuff. That's not going to happen. I've heard of some employers asking to install tracking applications on their employees phone, that wouldn't fly either.
A 10% wealth tax is quite a lot but otherwise I agree hat we absolutely need to move from income to wealth tax.

I’d support a progressive tax, something like 0 for the first 200,000 or something, then slowly rising to a few percent.

The really tricky thing though is that some assets generate income but others don’t, and we probably don’t want to put even more pressure on people to make rent on their assets than they already have.

So it’s a really hard problem but worth thinking about because taxing capital is really the only way to have a fair tax system in a capitalist society.

>It's clear that the IRA system was created to encourage saving for retirement through tax deferral.

It is not clear to me that IRAs were created for this reason. As far as I can tell, they seem to exist only to provide plausible deniability (and poorly at that) for 401ks giving an advantage to big businesses that can afford to implement them (pre Vanguard/cheap passive investing days) over smaller businesses that could not afford to implement 401ks.

Otherwise, I see no reason why people who work for employers that can afford to offer 401ks should have a leg up in tax advantaged retirement savings over people who do not and have to rely on IRAs (which have drastically lower contribution limits).

>It was not intended for billionaires,

It would have been simple to write in a limit for maximum amount of tax free gains in Roths.
What they seem to be suggesting is that a fair valuation (well reasoned given all information) of the shares would have put the investment at millions of dollars, but due to a peculiarity of historical accounting, they could be put at worth $2K because that was the creation price and the last print.

For instance, it might be that a funding round was about to happen. This is never a sure thing, so you could claim that the shares are not worth the full price (and in any case the only trade was at 2K), while privately thinking "hmm, my shares are now worth x millions".

You then sell the shares to the Roth, thinking yourself that you're putting x millions in the vehicle while reporting 2K.

Doesn't sound illegal to me, but it also doesn't sound like things are supposed to work this way.
Is there anything a shareholder can do to encourage the LTSE?
Or said another way, is there a mechanism for a shareholder to specify which exchange they are buying stock on? And would traffic on the LTSE help the LTSE?

Or is most of the support for the LTSE accomplished on the company side, and at listing time?

Kind of a similarly, I've previously wondered:

if we act to shield prescriber data from corps if that would cut down on shady pharma 'bribes' e.g. the opiate crisis and the some other direct to Dr pharma marketing.

Insys and Purdue knew which doctors prescribed insane amounts of pills. And then rewarded them with $. Insys even put it on paper as ROI and at least a few went to jail.

I'm not sure technically how well (or if legally) it would work though so maybe the answer is not at all.

mckesson would still know what pharmacies pills go to and anyone can figure out where a MD works to correlate at least target zip codes/markets. But maybe since we already have this monopolistic distribution setup could prohibit mckesson from disclosing granular shipment data.
I don’t think most people appreciate how much a serious illness can change your body over a much longer time period than the acute illness itself lasts. Covid and other things as well.
> If your employer wants you to have Slack on a phone, they should buy you a phone. That’s been my situation across multiple employers for 5+ years.

I wholeheartedly agree with computers/systems, and keeping things separate there.. but two phones? Who wants to carry around two phones just for staying on top of slack during _off hours_?

If the company isn't ok with me using slack on my personal phone, then I'll only use slack on the supplied computer during business hours (eg. they get no mobile slack out of me at all). Either that or I find a different job. Life is too short to deal with so many devices and the hassle of it all.
