What a silly statement. Having access to family wealth does make many things in life, including being an entrepreneur, much easier but there are plenty of examples of entrepreneurs who have come from much more humble backgrounds.
We hear you, and are hard at work on making taxes easier. Moving money around is very core to what we do, and money movements between companies and tax agencies are one of the largest funds flows for companies subject to that sort of regime, so you can make some very plausible assumptions about our level of interest in this area.
> I mean human have no problem living in Arizona during the summer.

If all you do is sleep in an air conditioned home, commute in an air conditioned car, and work in an air conditioned office, then sure, we have "no problem".
The heavy use of ellipses is a common giveaway for sarcasm in casual writing in the US. But I agree, part of what makes "good" sarcasm is that it's easy to interpret as being either for or against something depending on the audience, and this leads to issues like "locker room talk", allowing some unfortunate ideas to persist because it appears people agree with them. I also think sarcasm should be used sparingly on this particular forum, it's important to try to limit the possibility of ambiguity in order to foster better discussions.
I wonder if this encouraged people to be more open with their ideas also.

If I could say things knowing that if I made a mistake, someone might friendly correct me with "Ah, you're the liar today, S3 doesn't support that format", I'd be happier to make them.
Is the headline implying something illegal happened?

Otherwise, the headline should be, "Business makes business decision in its own interest". Wow. Shocker.
Horrible. Thanks.
Unionized work sounds pretty gainful. Less chance of getting screwed over.

Anyways, I'd agree that gainful is ideal, but I think most humans prefer to be employed and occupied over having nothing to do.
It won't work on the CLI version, and unless you are using an IDE with a backtracking debugging it won't help.
Oh hey, I just read an article about you.

Java is treated as the "prior art" like it is some sort of ancient script? That is amusing.

Since Java was the first mainstream GC language with sufficient man-hours of engineering, and it was an opportunity after almost two decades of C/C++ libraries to start anew with the standard library, but its standard library always seemed simply evolutionary/"best practice" (not my favorite phrase, sorry) from what came before it.

It seems to take a headcount increase of at least an order of magnitude to turn a product into a business and I have a hard time understanding that.

For example, when Instagram was purchased by Facebook they only had 13 employees and now they have something like 500.

USA has no unions and the highest pay for software engineers.

I would love to dive into such an example.
In that case, maybe the content was political rather than trolling? Settling like this is a slippery slope if you’ve said something to offend someone rather than simply libel and troll them.

Apple isn't the only manufacturer doing this. It's also quite common among PC manufacturers. And consumers aren't exactly provided this information openly to weigh this as a factor. The market cannot currently solve this problem because there's not enough transparency.
> I also wonder what justifies the headcount when Change.org petitions are almost universally pointless and ineffectual?

In our world of capitalism, the only justification a product needs is that it sells. And sometimes things that don't work or don't work well are superior products, because then customers keep coming back for more to get their desired results.
I don't think it's entirely fair to compare the "red scare" and the manufactured war on drugs to a literal pandemic
Change.org lets users pay to "promote petitions", which gives them more advertising on Change.org. I believe this is how the recommended petitions you're shown after signing one are selected.

> TV manufacturers are responding, often clumsily and based on their self-interest (data collection), to what consumers want.

No, they're not. They're collaborating to eliminate choice. The vast majority of the market being taken by smart TVs is a theoretical result of the market. The fact that no manufacturers slip in to clean up the 5% of the market who are willing to pay a slight premium not to have a smart TV is evidence of tacit collusion.
Amazon is asking me, again, to submit my resume there.

My wife wants me to send the resume, because I do need a job, but I already sent several resumes to Amazon (at their own request even!), got interviewed only twice, and both interviews were TERRIBLE.

First interview at Amazon, the interviewer actually didn't show up, so they setup another random guy to interview me, and he had no idea what was going on, so it was just a awkward phone talk for 1 hour.

Second time Amazon had flown people from all over the world to their Brazillian HQ and asked me and a few other candidates to go there get interviewed.

It not only matched your experience, but they managed to out-do themselves in some ways:

1. Some interviewers arrived on the room late, and this caused issues.

2. All of them asked the exact same question, that it was pointless to ask (they wanted me to show my leadership principles in solving conflicts in a past large team, when I told them multiple times I didn't had a past large team in first place).

3. They litearlly forgot me in a room, everyone left the floor, the work day was ending, people left the building, and I was forgotten there for 3 hours, literally, no idea how to even try to leave on my own, until one HR guy showed up, said sorry, gave a bullshit excuse and guided me to the exit of the building.
I sincerely hope the mods here are sharing any information they have about the deranged dead post here in this thread with the relevant authorities.
The Khmer Rouge weren’t communists, despite what they may have sometimes claimed. Being funded by the CIA is a useful hint. They were also stopped by socialist Vietnam, a second useful hint.

The USSR was actually very successful, especially during Stalin’s time. It went from a semi-feudal country to defeating the Nazis and into space. Eventually it lost the Cold War to the capitalist countries, through infiltration and direct aggression.

All of Eastern Europe was similarly quite successful compared to the conditions from which each country started. Merely ending the periodic environmental famines through industrialisation and collectivisation was a remarkable achievement. My grandparents and parents describe astonishing change in very few years and better conditions overall than today.

China started from an even less developed stage and industrialised very quickly. The material condition of most workers improved greatly, despite the limits imposed by capitalist countries. Later on, other concessions were made so capitalists would no longer block trade and development. And yet the working class is still in control of the state, as we’ve seen during COVID when the state took more direct control of the economy to save lives at the expense of profits.

The DPRK was bombed to an incredible degree by the US, which is still officially at war with it. Despite an almost complete blockade and even losing its socialist trading partners, it persists and to a small extent prospers. Cuba is in a similar position, doing remarkably well despite capitalist aggression.

Vietnam also developed remarkably quickly, despite occupation and a devastating war. Like China, it made concessions to capitalists in order to develop, while workers retain state power as a class.
A TPM is a chip on some motherboards that serves two purposes:

1. Using something not too dissimilar from blockchain/git repo hashes to attest to the the execution stack (BIOS, bootloader, kernel, userspace).
2. Providing cryptographic primitives that are only unlocked when the stack exactly matches a particular value.

It's a handy tool for avoiding spyware, as any change in the attestation chain gets immediately flagged. It is also, in principle, useful for tying DRM keys to a particular execution stack that's known to be trusted... although it's very worth noting that the TPM's threat model does not include an attacker having physical access to the hardware.

the principles themselves are useful but here’s the thing: people take them literally and without any context a lot of the times effectively turning them into a weapon to show how X and Y don’t show “leadership”.

Here is an example: “Insist on the highest standards” and “Bias for action”. If you have bias for action and want to get shit done you will be dinged for some technically or how the design could have used more work. If you insist in the highest standards you will be dinged for analysis paralysis and told you don’t have bias for action.
Awesome! Youtube really has a lot of patterns that try to maximize engagement and I've noticed I spend way more time on the platform than I intend.
The lack of concrete definitions and examples makes it a warning to everyone.
Phones are ubiquitous. A phone sitting on a desk is invisible, in a way a random enclosure with a fire wires sticking out of it isn’t.
There is a "hidden", for lack of better word, world of commercial and political pysops most people are never exposed to beyond their social media feeds. Often masked in marketing, but even more so in blanketed initiatives run by individuals (both directly & indirectly affiliated to their organization) who typically find these capabilities more coincidentally than anything... & end up funding private, or even well-presented, analytics firms that engage in an array of trolling-like behavior through even further outsourcing. I mean everyone knows Cambridge Analytica.

The headcount is justified by the fact that it's a multimillion dollar for-profit corporation.

The multimillion dollar aspect seems to be due to a number of factors, but a large part seems to be the absolutely-scammy "chip-in" request, where they ask petition-signers for money, clearly designed to make them feel like they are donating to the cause, but instead it's simply a promise to display the petition more prominently within the change.org website.

I think it's basically a scam.

Don't believe everything you read on 4chan. (Not at all saying this as some sort of catch-all insult or that I even have any inherent issue with 4chan or think it's bad to go there; just saying it because they definitely read/post a lot on 4chan based on phraseology, and the misleading "41% meme" is also extremely prevalent, there.)
Can you share more details please?

City of Bees: Notes of an Urban Beekeeper
Do they? I think most consumers assume if a 40 cent part breaks on their computer they will pay 40 cents plus labor plus some part markup - the same way car, HVAC, and other repairs work.

That's why when people's computers break they take them to get repaired in the first place. Otherwise, consumers would just be tossing their broken devices and buying a new one.

If you're fairly well-heeled you certainly have the privilege of forgoing repairs and just buying new ones. Lots of tech enthusiasts who cycle through devices every year probably aren't bothered. But normal people who don't get excited at the prospect of purchasing a new 3 or 4 figure device appreciate being able to get their machine back in working order for a few hundred max.
Use the freedoms that liberal democracy and capitalism give us to fight them back. Expose their corruption, counter-lobby our representatives, use the courts where laws are broken, vote. There is no magic bullet, corruption will always have to be fought. The question is which system gives us the best framework to fight it in. I say a system that respects individual freedoms.
I don't make the rules, mate.
Ah yes, another shitcoin, another scam story.

I set up an LLC via Atlas. The process was simple, but there's a lot of legwork at the state/city level that they don't do and you'll need to be prepared to do yourself.

Atlas does not remove the need for an accountant, or a lawyer, so either budget that in if you're thinking of forming an LLC.
Excellent take!

Luck, or crime, or some combination of the two.
I'm amazed Instagram has only 500. I assume that's because a lot of things like operations, infra, payroll, IT, facilities, and HR are shared with FB?
Yea and if it can't it's essentially dead...
people start on different bases, but everyone has the potential to score points.
Perhaps the most amazing part is them having enough revenue to pay that many people. Even if only a fraction of those are FTEs that's a fair amount of cashflow to sustain.

I always thought Change.org was mostly known for being a nexus of naiveté and impotence so it's surprising to see enough people willing to pay into it to sustain that kind of headcount.

It's fascinating trying to get a good grip on how to capture the health of a portfolio in summary statistics. (I coded the dashboard to do this back in the day.)

Average probably is not it, because of the distribution of startups along the power law and the mix in the Atlas userbase between companies which are aiming for that trajectory and those that are aiming for profits/predictable revenue growth.

Also, FWIW, since half of Atlas companies are post-covid the naive calculation of revenue run rate is a bit understated.

For folks who geek out on this sort of thing, we're hiring and my dashboard could very much use an update, plus there is much more important work to be done as we ship an ambitious roadmap for this coming year and beyond. jweinstein@stripe.com if you'd like to discuss; Jeff runs the group Atlas is in.
I would not be surpised if more than half just flopped and the median is somewhere close to a million dollar over 5 years

This reminds me of one particular company where the press friendly founder back story is all about bootstrapping with credit cards when in reality both founders had millionaire parents who had invested a whole bunch into it.
There is only so much one can control and for a limited amount of time. This is not a weakness, it is life.

If you don't have a sustainable system it doesn't matter how much control you have at the moment.
Unfortunately in our society success is not measured by sustainability, it's measured by self-interest, also known as the tragedy of the commons.

There is no reason to think about one's legacy if our entire race won't make it out of the 21st century.

A TPM is much more than "just a bit of memory". It is a cryptographic coprocessor, with its own microcode and its own security domain.

And I don't think a fully-secured future for PC's is as impossible as you think. The primary reason this is impossible right now is because TPM's aren't ubiquitous (none of my machines came with one installed). That problem will be solved by Windows 11.
I'm certain there's at least one toll both worker that loves their job.

Yeah, context is key here... Damages can also mean physical bodily harm. By GP's reasoning, we could interpret the article as saying someone was medically wounded and claim that to be a correct interpretation because it's one of the many meanings depending on context.
I'm US based, so not sure on the exact details of the payment system.

But since the article mentions confirming the bank balance, couldn't that be basically sending a pay request for the entire bank account balance?
In a way, #2 answers #1. Even if the only benefit of oxidizing subsystems in Firefox was to lower the barrier to entry for contributors, it would still be worth it.

To answer #2, though, a good way is to search through the issues by the GitHub labels that mark easier issues to tackle:

great leaders frequently change their mind based on new information. so, by definition you are either right because you changed your mind or dumb for sticking with the wrong thing.

Nice guitars and certainly nice strings. Fun, and in tune

To my ears, I'm hearing a normal equal temperment tuning, with the normal slight disharmonies over the chords...

Maybe somebody better than me can give another opinion?

--

Edit: I was looking at the website, rather than your linked video. Yeah, that guitar with wobbley frets definitely has slightly better tuning (imho). For guitar (and equal temperment) generally, some chords will always sound flatter than others, so a concern is presumably that guitar sounds worse as you move away from Cmaj/Emaj songs??

But in any case, fun

It is simple.

1. Some people take risk because they CAN and probably what they have seen from their family/parents (a.k.a rich/privilege). It is the cool thing to do.

2. Some people take risk because they WANT to regardless of their family situation (I am in this category). I just cannot see myself working in a job.

3. Some people take risk because they HAVE to. They have nothing else going on for them and doing their own thing is the only thing they can try. I am sure there are quite a few entrepreneurs in this category. They were desperate and just tried something of their own as the only last option.

So yea, entrepreneurship can never be generalized. We can argue on the percent breakdown b/w the 3 categories above. CAN, WANT, HAVE TO
