Have you started offering foreign owned LLC's again via Atlas? The last time I checked this wasn't possible sadly.
What was the question even? It was just pure snark. Nothing about their site indicates a Wordpress blog for that matter.
Right. Maybe I'm biased because I'm American, but I think the US defamation laws seem pretty reasonable. I'm curious to see the tweets so I can see how I feel about the UK's laws and enforcement.
This is true, and could keep it going while it builds momentum.

I was thinking the same thing about an embedded browser.

Embedding in places where speed is needed but accommodations could be made where things are incomplete could work too, i.e. in games or rendering UX for video or music programs.
Having been down this path several times (small company to acquisition to growth), if you actually sit down during the startup phase and list all of the features/processes that would make your product fully mature, you're looking at a massive project with a lot of people involved. By 'fully mature' I mean it meets the needs of the average customer in your target market.

The sweet spot for a startup is if you can look at that big mess of features and find something actually do-able by a small team that can still meet the needs of some portion of your target market.

When you've achieved that, you can then start filling in the rest of the features that will fill the needs of the rest of your market. This is where the headcount can grow significantly, because even small line items in the feature set could involve a big project, yet still be justified because you have enough potential or actual revenue to justify the team growth. Once you're in this phase, the communication overhead of adding people and teams also forces the creation of meta-teams to support the rest of the teams...and there you have it, you now have a lot of people.
Oh that’s strange, hmm.

Edit:

> Before 2020 March, Vancouver issued 3.6 TN visas per month on average. If we naively assume that the number of visa applications didn’t change during COVID, they are now 13.7 months behind expectations.

Wow I knew they were behind but jesus. Pretty neat!
> he essentially quit his day job to become a full-time whistleblower

It sounds like you're criticizing him here, but this is a good thing, right? We incentivize whistleblowing because we want more whistleblowing. He was successful in bringing frauds to justice. We got exactly what we wanted. This is exactly how it should work.

> 2018, he took out a $1 million litigation-funding loan at very high interest rates, secured by the Life Partners whistleblower claims

This isn't necessarily stupid either. If it was a secured loan, then as I understand it he probably won't have to pay the million back. He transferred the risk to the lender and they lost. He paid his back taxes and should emerge from bankruptcy without the debt.
Oxygen is about 21% of the atmosphere in most places, so 80% CO2 doesn't seem very high (most of the atmosphere is CO2, but there's also other stuff in it albeit at much lower concentrations).
My first job was port from PS1 -> PC, then next project was another game, but this time port PC -> PS1 - we never got this kit (it was small studio of 4 people). We used (what I think was) the Yaroze... "printf" debugging all the way :) (oh, and when you remove the "printf" things were not working - lol, because printf() kept on clearing math errors, and our PC game was floating point heavy). TLDR: First port (PS1->PC) went really well, second one - we were able to get to the 2nd worst game done for PS1. (back then).
Blanket statements don't have a special gene for innacuracy. They come from bad editors.
I notice Solidity experience is required for some roles, how hard of a requirement is that?
This is such a horrible take I am not going to give the article a click.

I know two successful entrepreneurs who come from a situation of struggle in third world countries. Also my girlfriend, who grew up in poverty in Pennsylvania, and now is on her third stable business.

We are creating a culture of excuses for anybody who fails at chasing their dreams or doesn’t even have the motivation to do so; the equivalent of getting a “trophy for trying”, but tailored to adults. This culture is harming the perception of individuals who otherwise just need an extra push of positivity in their journey.

I miss the days (not so long ago) when the advice was “work harder and things will happen”. That’s the advice I got and it worked for me. If you don’t have that hope then you’ll defeat yourself.
I hope very much that that CPU isn't running android, though.

I can't clock it, but our current TV seems to take longer to, well, turn on, than the tube tellys of yore.
You’re assuming they don’t store a time stamp with the DB entries. It would be fairly trivial to filter out the 5000 fake entries that all arrived within a minute of each other.
How is the extirpation of the indigenous Y haplogroup by immigrant R1b people not evidence of conquest? We’re talking several millenia BP it’s not as though we’re going to find formal declarations of war.

As for the timing, it lines up just fine under the hypotheses based on Reich’s genetic data instead of inaccurate proxies like potsherds.
What kind of legwork would be required for a European to set up LLC via Atlas?

I thought the idea was to let Atlas do everything?
I did get a dresser from Stuart David Furniture in Sacramento, which was outstanding in quality. There are plenty of small furniture companies in the US that take pride in their craft and make excellent wares at reasonable prices (for the quality), no need to go to a chain like Room & Board.

I've got you: Settings > Screen Time > App Limits > Add Limit > Social > TikTok
Wow that introduces a whole different dimension to this. That makes it sound like the "trolling" may have been a legitimate political criticism (unfounded or not), and the "troll" paid out due to a threat to their personal safety. Even darker that the threat was made by the national broadcaster of the occupying nation.
> As for the Trump ban, freedom of speech also means freedom from compelled speech. The government can't force a store to sell a particular newspaper, or force a newspaper to run a particular story. Same applies to internet websites. If you have a blog with a comments section, the government can't force you to host certain comments.

I personally don’t find this argument particularly compelling when the entity in question is a platform that arguably has more influence over public discourse than most (all?) governments.

There is an enormous difference between someone’s blog and a web site that is used as a communication platform by politicians and world leaders, and which has a user base numbering in the millions or even billions.
I hope someone picks up Servo for some sort of "Web Lite" project. A hypothetical subset of the web that is saner than what we have today.

The homoiconicity of Lisp is not what gives it this superpower. It is rather Lisp's dynamic nature that actually allows you to keep running your project while also developing it that is crucial - something that Clojure running on the JVM can actually only approximate.

For example, in a full CL, you can modify a class that is currently being used, and objects of that class will adjust accordingly (for most modifications). This is not possible for the JVM - to modify a class, you would have to unload it, which can only happen if the Class object is garbage collected, which requires all instances of the class to be GCd, and the ClassLoader that loaded that class as well - only then could you add a field with a default value to the class.
I did this.

I realized what the GP said when I was 13. I was either bored working on subjects I liked because I knew them or bored working on subjects I didn't like and had no interest in. I was an angsty teenager who could not handle this, so I dropped out.

At 18 I got my GED, after doing no studying, and that got me into a local college. After my first year I transferred to a less than Ivy League college in my state.

I had no support, and therefore did not use this opportunity to do great things, but I still ended up pretty much where I would have had I not dropped out. I look back on that time as my pre-working early retirement that allowed me to figure out what was important to me.
Ahh the good ol "medicine is Art and science" keeping the physician cartel alive and well, with no competitive risk from scientists and AI.

I know my son was at risk of worse outcomes if not for me researching the relevant scientific papers online. (Tongue Tie, surgery vs laser, physician recommended surgery because it's done by a surgeon not a dentist. Outcomes are worse with surgery)

It's about time we move to evidence based medicine and revoke licenses from traditionalists.

No?

Okay.
Why journalists don't call it as fraud?

They spent money on drafting this legislation and this is not fit for purpose.

But by the looks of it, big money must be behind it so it ticks the box, but does not actually change anything.
wow, that would be like having a bounty program that paid whistleblowers 10% of value of the theft for encouragement and was catching enough perps to act as a deterrent and lowered the overall crime rate and got victims 90% of their losses back, kind of an ex post insurance pool...

...and then figuring you could get victims 100% of their losses back by taking that 10% from the whistleblowers and sending them to the back of the line, and then coming back a year later and seeing that...

...while victims were getting 100% of their losses back when these crimes were discovered, very few of these crimes were being discovered, and using your impeccable logic concluding that the crime rate must have gone down! who needs whistleblowers!?
As you said, char* can alias any other type, but that does not allow any other type to alias char*.

reinterpret_cast<char*>(T*); // Perfectly fine.
reinterpret_cast<T*>(char*); // Undefined behavior.

Otherwise it would be trivial for any type to alias any other type:

reinterpret_cast<T*>(reinterpret_cast<char*>(U*));
16 principles to remember?

1. That’s just too many to remember, let alone navigate.

2. Seems to violate “invent & simplify”
I agree. I also think discussions like this article assume that running a company is unique from other similar choices.

Is trying to become a singer/actor becoming an entrepreneur? Its fairly similar in terms of entering a winner-take-all field where you'll face a lot of adversity at the beginning.

Is switching careers to something your eduction is not in the same type of decision that an entrepreneur makes? Even if you are just switching to another 9-5?

Is someone who leaves a salary job to one that is paid mostly in sales commission an entrepreneur? Even if you are working for a company?

I don't think any of these situations are identical - but if you are trying to figure out "is this cultural or genetic" it seems worthy to think of your definition. After all, being a tech CEO is not something everyone wants to do.
I think we should be focusing our attention on what they actually are doing.

It's absolutely necessary to try to anticipate the future, because the future always becomes the present. If we don't try to anticipate, we will be stuck with whatever is given to us. Like the introduction of ads on Android TV.
Sounds amazing. I went through a minor stroke when I was 26 and i had a lot of symptoms induced by anxiety, indeed i was afraid to do another stroke and my anxiety produced similar sensations. Any time I had those symptoms coming I would play video games or whatch my metrics to reassure myself until it was gone. I think this tool would have been very helpful at the time. Thanks for trying to provide drug free solutions for people experiencing such problems!
Curiosity / wondering what they're all up to.
I’ve been saying this for years. The entire system funnels rich kids money. You need a safety net to quit your job and do this stuff. I have student loans and not a lot of savings because my family is not rich, my propensity to quit my job and dedicate years of my life and all my (very) hard earned savings is extremely low. I also don’t have family connections to raise cheap/free seed money.
> the result is a very, very healthy investment economy in the US.

There were some recent examples of this system creating perverse incentives for US investments that are worth considering. For instance, the repackaging of mortgage-backed securities in the 2007 financial crisis took advantage of multiple transfers to place all risks on consumers and allow brokers to evade nearly all risk.

I think that we need to think very carefully about what risks we protect against (and how) to avoid situations where middle-men capture down-side protections as alpha and gain an incentive to seek out investments that are priced lower because they will often fail. A model that imagines an investment market where the only two parties are the investment originator and the final owner are too simplistic now.

The article’s context is about time-related deterioration, lack of transparency, and how on-top and empowered boards and local civil authorities are to handle critical issues that were both known and could have been prevented.

So I still fail to see the relevance of the WTC collapse, other than both being catastrophic.

This is probably a somewhat cynical take, but Stripe Atlas' US only offering is a big contributor to international startup brain drain which is costing local economies significantly. When countries (such as within the EU, India or South America) invest so much in the education and development of young entrepreneurs, only for them to leave to the US for the allure of quick investment, all of their potential future value leaves with them. I understand there is a lot for these countries to do to improve investment conditions for high risk startups, but how can poorer South American countries (like those in the Stripe promo video linked) compete with the US in terms of the availability of capital? This is not solely Stripes fault, though in my opinion by promoting Delaware parent companies for international founders they contribute to the hindrance of the local tech economies of these countries.

I'd like to reiterate that this is a relatively uncharitable take, and would welcome alternate perspectives on this issue.

Does Copilot learn from you correcting things like this? The landing page says it learns your coding style, but presumably that's just formatting of the same suggestions. If it does something insecure and then you fix it, does it learn the secure way is the right way going forward? Or will it just autocomplete something equally insecure next time you try to do something similar?
Anomaly Detection: How to Artificially Increase Your F1-Score
"Anomaly detection is a widely explored domain in machine learning. Many models are proposed in the literature, and compared through different metrics measured on various datasets. The most popular metrics used to compare performances are F1-score, AUC and AVPR. In this paper, we show that F1-score and AVPR are highly sensitive to the contamination rate. One consequence is that it is possible to artificially increase their values by modifying the train-test split procedure. This leads to misleading comparisons between algorithms in the literature,especially when the evaluation protocol is not well detailed. Moreover, we show that the F1-score and the AVPR cannot be used to compare
performances on different datasets as they do not reflect the intrinsic difficulty of modeling such data. Based on these observations, we claim
that F1-score and AVPR should not be used as metrics for anomaly detection. We recommend a generic evaluation procedure for unsupervised
anomaly detection, including the use of other metrics such as the AUC, which are more robust to arbitrary choices in the evaluation protocol."

>“The powerful want to say that we are entering a dangerous new era where ‘people disliking things en masse’ has coalesced into some kind of crowdsourced [weapon], firing on arbitrary targets from orbit and vaporizing their reputations,” she wrote to me in an email. “The use of mass social sanction gives the less powerful a weapon against the more powerful, so long as they can mobilize loudly and persistently. This is not new. Shame and laughter are vital tools for freedom.”

>She cautions, however, that “like all weapons, it will do the most damage when aimed at the least defended, the isolated, those with no one to stand up for them, publicly or privately. And we must be careful with the temptation to use it inside our own houses to destroy shapes we think are intruders.”

Repeating what I said elsewhere: If you support mobs, and the mob makes a mistake and attacks you or a friendly target, that's your own fault. Stop supporting mobs. Don't say "mobs are great, as long as they attack the powerful and avoid 'our own houses'".

We know that mobs don't use nuance in picking their targets. Mobs hardly ever read what they're complaining about, and mobs freely ignore mitigating circumstances. So it really isn't surprising when the mob doesn't read your story and ignores that you're using the meme sarcastically.
I see comments like this and makes me wonder if it's a hyperbole or am I the weird one?

I admit, there few times I copied but I can count on fingers the number of times I used something from stackoverflow in my entire career (I'm not counting situations when I read somebody's explanation, but didn't use their code, which is just an example of how it works). From posts that I see people write as if they do that daily.

Elon Musk was a son of a single mom and an immigrant (that said, his mom is an amazing person and definitely gave him a great start if life just by putting a right mindset in).

Jeff Bezos was again a son of a dirt poor single mom who later married a dirt poor Mexican immigrant - his life start was as bad as it gets. Yes his adopted father later became a mid-level manager for an oil company and managed to send him to a good college, but there is nothing exceptional there.

There are lots and lots of rich kids who smoke weed all day and contribute an absolute zero to the society, and so few good entrepreneurs.

macOS Monterey First Impressions: The Start of a New Era
Had to google that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boerentoren: “At the time of construction it was the second tallest building in Europe by roof height (after Telefónica Building).”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefónica_Building: “The Telefónica Building, in Spanish Edificio Telefónica, is a skyscraper in Madrid, Spain”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_skyscrapers#Emergence_of...: “The first skyscraper in Europe, Witte Huis, was built in Rotterdam in 1898”

⇒ Wikipedia doesn’t think it’s the first skyscraper in Europe.

That last building (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witte_Huis) is a whopping (not, nowadays) 43 meters high, but does have a steel frame, and that (alongside height) is one of the main criteria to define “skyscraper”.

They all look nice, but the Boerentoren has the most skyscrapery look to me.
