Talk to your accountant, lawyer, and insurance agent. Let their council be your guide.

Setting up a business entity is easier than finding customers. And less important. If you don't have customers, then setting up a business entity is "playing house." It feels like work, but doesn't change anything important.

Keep in mind that while YC companies incorporate early on the YC pipeline, there is a sound business reason for doing so. They incorporate so that they can get YC's investment.

In California, an LLC costs a few hundred dollars a year. If you don't have customers, that money is clearly not doing anything for you. And even if you do have customers, there are probably opportunities with greater return than incorporation.

Incorporation is potentially insurance against personal liability. It won't prevent someone from suing you. It just means in the six-sigma event that you wind up in court with a good lawyer, the case might be thrown out. "Might" because very small corporate entities are sometimes no better than a sole proprietorship in the eyes of the law.

But if you want to set up an LLC or S-corp, talk with your accountant and lawyer (probably your insurance agent too, just to cover the full team).

Having an accountant, lawyer, and insurance agent is a reasonable bellwether for enough of a going concern for incorporation. If you can't afford an accountant, lawyer, and insurance agent, that's a symptom of an unviable business. It's probably not worth doing.

Good luck.
It's interesting that the cached summary of the `Kerberos` article on Yahoo search has the text of the disambiguated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol), but it's now a disambiguation page that still doesn't include this Kerberos.

The biggest problem with this name clash for the creators is that help and documentation will be hard to find, which will stymie adoption.

They also lose potential good will with the rest of the tech community.
I agree. I use an ad-blocker for privacy and because many news sites are almost unreadable without them now. Instead of addressing the core issues with online advertising the industry just doubled down and made ads more intrusive and distracting to the point it's literally driving away consumers. If people can't read the content on your site without having to jump through hoops or feel the privacy trade-off isn't worth it, they're just not going to use your site anymore.
It's definitely true to say it is framed as foundational in some quarters, however. Consider the common "CISSP required" "entry level" roles that are regularly shared and pilloried

Calling it equivalent to a masters was also a marketing coup, there was plenty of discussion and pushback on that characterization when it was announced
it is very beautiful.... it has its own tensions. Montenegrins (which are slavs) are more west looking, vs. Serbs (which are also slavs, who are more east looking), vs. Albanians who are not slavs and really want to join Albania anyway, and the are the people of the Sanjak region, who are closer related to Bosnians but are are mixture of slavs + others.

So, Montenegro is seen as a sleepy buffer state, created and kept by the great powers to keep Serbia (and Russia by proxy) away from the Adriatic and the Mediterranean Sea. It usually tries not to get involved into controversies. During the Yugoslav wars they wanted to stay out, but got ropped in by the Serbs.
Richard Branson can still live a life with near zero risk, in absolute luxury for longer than the average life span after doing this though.

He's still a Billionaire. He didn't "put his money where his mouth is", he bought a custom spaceship using a fraction of his enormous net worth, and rode it out of the atmosphere as a stunt. He hopes he can make a business out of it for other rich people who want to do the same.

This isn't inspiring. Virgin Galactic spacecraft are purely recreational. They offer zero scientific or business purposes outside of selling wealthy people tickets on a rare adventure to nowhere.
Also remember that even if you’re working 60-hour weeks, someone will just increase the volume of work to require 80-hour weeks and you’ll fail anyway.

Also, longer hours do not improve productivity for work requiring deep focus.
NYT and WSJ are probably fine with that, as if you are going to spend money on a subscription, it is probably one of those.

So why share any revenue with the smaller papers?
Even with the refund it caused mental load I didn't like.
Claiming that a question is nonsensical doesn't make it so.

Such questions are meaningful to the people that ask them. Someone who asks "can God make a square circle?" is unlikely to consider it to be equivalent to asking "gjqrio jtioajfs dklfjl?" (ie. a sentence made of words which really are meaningless)

You can claim that these questions are meaningless, but then you have to prove why.. and there's been no such proof, just an assertion.

Maybe you intended a proof by definition? That is to say that you want to maintain that any question that involves a contradiction is meaningless by definition? Well, that's an assumption, and the person you're speaking with doesn't have to grant that assumption or agree to that definition.

> The people running the company were playing with fire and they must either be too junior themselves to understand that, or they were just knowingly doing so and hoping to get whatever product MVP they had planned as quickly as possible with the minimum amount of expenses possible.

Knowingly playing with fire like this is a sign of a lack of maturity, both on the founders part and the investor’s part. Anyone experienced in the business of building software would have known that:

1. It takes time

2. Time takes funding

3. It’s probably not going to work the first time you try an end-to-end test

Mature founders would have found mature investors to give them both the funding and the time to stabilize the software. They would not have attempted to make their investor demo the first big end-to-end test, and even if they did put off testing they would have communicated that to the investors, who should have understood the state of their investment only six ~months~ weeks in.
I think the tilting tail and minimal thermal protection system concept will always remain suborbital. But there are reusable space glider concepts like X-37 and Dream Chaser.
It may not be quite accurate.

The total amount that the employer pays is apparently around 2.5X—3X of what the employee receives (accounting for the social charges paid to the state etc.). So overall, workers are just as expensive as in US.

Of course, there are a lot of positive things about France and Europe: health care, education, social safety nets, culture, WLB, etc. I didn’t account for those!
I've found vox news to be ... mediocre. just about everything else is junk. thank god for certain subreddits that do a good job of aggregating news
Yes, I felt better need to paint the rest of the picture. Essentially humanity is cheering on the equivalent of $0.25 kiddy rides outside of a grocery store for the wealthy.
Almost every self hosted blogging platform I've seen requires you to have a server to run it on 24/7, and I don't get it.

This is the perfect use case for FaaS -- a personal site that maybe gets a few thousand hits a month, and maybe has that one post that goes viral and gets 100,000 hits in a day.

I love all the features and the nice aesthetic of all these things, but it seems silly to pay even $5/mo for a 24/7 server when I can host it for free on AWS Lambda if the software had been written that way. Not to mention it would make it more accessible to non-tech folks if you can just give them a button to click that sets up a Cloudformation for them or something.

Sadly I don't have the time (not design skills) to write one myself.
Well, there is the 3rd option...

Steal their content and publish it elsewhere, such as in posts on Reddit or HN.

Trying to paint anything black or white will just lead to a model that doesn't represent reality and what people are going to do.
You'd have to impose a lot of conditions on such a god to make it not nightmarish.

Without a god, we control our own destiny. A lot of things are currently awful, but with enough human ingenuity, we can overcome them.

On the other hand, if our fate is determined by a god driven by its own motives, we have lost control of our destinies to something that evidently doesn't care about us.

We would be ants on the back of a whale that might decide to dive at any moment, doomed perhaps to see our loved ones swirl away screaming into the watery void, on whale's whim, pointless.
It is also a reasonable output format. I have written more than one Python thing that ended up by generating an Excel which I then emailed to people. It was imperfect but saved me a lot of “can you make a graph blah blah blah” type work.
I saw this mentioned by a YouTuber, who went on to say that many people believe that the SNES was originally intended to be backward-compatible with the NES.

IMHO that's not quite right — there's a lot of simple things Nintendo could have done to make the SNES a lot more backward-compatible with the NES, that would have had to have been done right at the beginning (and so stuck around as additional evidence of this), just as the few places that do line up (e.g. controller read-out + MMIO address) were certainly done right at the beginning.

Instead, I think what Nintendo was imagining, was that — as long as the NES and SNES were still both "alive" in the market concurrently — then companies would want to concurrently release both NES and SNES versions of their games. And, with some careful planning, development studios would be able to have a single 6502 macro-assembler codebase that compiled to either a NES or SNES target. Developers could either add MMIO address pokes / JSRs inside #ifdef-like macro structures; or just write two subroutines, one for NES and one for SNES, and then compile-time branch to determine which would get compiled in.

This makes sense of where the NES and SNES line up in compatibility, and where they diverge: they line up where there's an obvious way to support both consoles with one block of instructions; they diverge where developers would have to write separate subroutines to support the different hardware anyway, so instruction-level / memory-map-level compatibility isn't so crucial.

This seems so obviously "possible" (though definitely challenging!) that I've always wondered whether there are any games that are actual examples of this — where the game came out at the same time in both NES/FC and SNES/SFC releases, and binary analysis reveals that the majority of the game's engine code is shared between the two, with differences mostly in the subroutines/coroutines composing the "graphics engine", and in the static data.

—————

On a separate note, I feel like it would be even simpler — and a lot more performant! — to ahead-of-time recompile a NES game to run on the SNES. The NES doesn't tend to do tricks with dynamic runtime code generation, so NES games are good candidates for being statically analyzed and transpiled. (And the SNES has such a similar architecture, that even those dynamic runtime tricks might map cleanly onto the SNES, too.)
"most developers identify as the average"

That is what average means

Let's make this more obvious: Imagine that in you have to produce Nitroglycerine, explosive set off by the slightest of mistakes.

Would you rather it done by someone superbly clever, but straight out of uni, or someone who's average, but has done it for 20 years and survived?

I still don't really understand how any of these are confounding factors? I'm not a statistician but as I understand it the definition of a confounder is that it has a causal relationship with both A and B, which masks the causal relationship between A and B.

A and B here are religion and wealth/technology I understand (sort of) the points you are making about wealth, but how does any of this stuff link causally with religion?

The excitement and inspiration that something like Apollo or Falcon Heavy generate cannot be quantified. Many young people have chosen science career because of spaceflights they follow. That include climate and earth science.

To use as an analogy, can you measure the impact of Chopin or Mozart's music? Mozart made a lot of money performing at private events sponsored by the riches, as well as from lessons for their children.
Not everyone has the experience to quickly find another job or the savings to weather a period without a paycheck. The business as described is a modern day sweatshop.

SpaceX will be launching the Inspiration4 flight sometime this year. I believe that will be the first private orbital flight. (Without at least one government astronaut or cosmonaut on board.)
> “If you want to get paid New York rates, you work in New York. None of this ‘I’m in Colorado . . . and getting paid like I’m sitting in New York City,’” he said.

This is interesting. I wonder if companies will start to try and tier wages according to where the possible new hire resides.
I'm not talking about the Greeks, undoubtedly they also have their own concerns. But from a historical, scholarly or researcher perspective, you can't deny that this situation is very confusing. As an American who is interested in history and Ancient Greece, I can't in good conscience refer to your country as Macedonia in conversation. I always use the formal name "North Macedonia" and pretty much always have to explain the history behind that name.
Pretty cool, but it definitely can't quite keep up. Just tried the Legend of Zelda, and it lags with flickering horizontal lines (not drawing fast enough?) on both snes9x and original hardware (via FXPAK Pro).
This reply makes no sense; GCs don't have to worry about a stale stackframe causing stack-allocated data to go haywire, because they're not using stack allocation to begin with.

> At some level they all rely on massive libraries written in C

What? How does your "C++ product [that] does not use a single explicit allocation" actually manage memory?
100% SSO coverage is impossible.

Let's say you're part of the marketing team and need to sign up to some ad platform or do a one-off order for branded goods. They will most likely not support SSO, and even if they do you won't have the necessary privileges to actually set it up.
Sounds like being fired was the best thing that could have happened from this hellish job.
All: please don't wage national or religious wars via internet comments on Hacker News. There's a lot of that in the thread below—not cool, and not what this site is for.

If you're going to comment on a topic like this please do so thoughtfully, substantively, and with respect for those who disagree—assume that there are a lot of them here, and their reasons for holding their views are just as valid, and just as rooted in their background, as yours are.

I don't live in a rural market, but my existing ISP is so unreliable that I'm on the waitlist for a Starlink terminal to use as a backup when my cable internet goes down.
None of the ones you named are particularly homogeneous. In Ethiopia and Malawi there is no majority ethnic group. Mauritania's largest ethnic group has a narrow (54%) majority. Yemen is in a civil war between its two largest endogamous sects. The central government of Ethiopia is at war with Tigrayan separatists. The central government of Sri Lanka only recently defeated the Tamil separatists.
$1 songs are about as dead today as $2.99 ringtones.

I'd argue we never moved past the Napster era. Spotify was freemium at birth, it was Napster with a subscription option. Nobody is paying piecemeal for audio or video these days.

Over the past decade the Internet became mobile-centric rather than desktop-centric. A generation of users grew up connecting entertainment with phones and tablets, rater than computers. Mobile devices are opaque and locked down in ways computers never were, but they're also much easier to use.

So it's not a surprise that someone today might look at you pityingly if you show them how to get something from a torrent or p2p client. They'll pull up the Youtube/Spotify link in a couple of seconds, and for them, it's the exact same thing.

Plz try not to see the world as left/right. The lenses of honest/dishonest and smart/stupid are a much better way to look at the media.
Once I asked my Lead if I was going to get fired for what (in hindsight) was a pretty superficial bug. Response? "Gawd no. I'm going to make you stay here, figure it out and fix it!"
There's a great extension called Old Reddit Redirect [0] that'll always take you to old Reddit, highly recommend it.

Reddit's new direction in recent years has been really painful. There's so many great niche communities there that practically don't exist elsewhere on the Internet. Unfortunately, if/when they get rid of old Reddit and the API for third party apps, I'll probably drop Reddit entirely.

You seem to be the one complaining about other people's behavior.

Yes, if content is not available to someone else, any they wouldn't be able to see it otherwise, then their is little harm in piracy.

And you, not them, seem to be to most mad about other people doing things that doesn't really cause any harm.

> Branson, in remarks from his Virgin Galactic flight on Sunday, said the spaceflight was the “complete experience of a lifetime” shortly after the spacecraft successfully took off over New Mexico.

The most striking thing about this is not the idea of suborbital flight (not new), nor the involvement of a private company (also not new), nor the idea of a spacecraft launching from a plane (also not new).

What's new and mind-blowing is that space travel can be an experience that people will pay for. You're not taking a suborbital flight, you're becoming an astronaut.

As the initial novelty of "being to space" wears off, there will be demand (and money) to fund ever more unusual space experiences.

At some point, it will become clear that there's not just one or two space travel companies, but a space travel industry.

Then what?
Hey, aren't we all into space already ?
I'm afraid this is not at all bullshit, even though I wish it was so.

While it is true that these opposing countries no doubt each have their own problems with (local/national) corruption and oligarchies, the ideologies that are currently being forced on them are very much the product of corruption and oligarchies on a much larger scale (just better hidden). In fact, none of these ideologies are what they claim to be.

This is all about powers who have essentially hijacked the EU project for their own greedy gains. This ideological criticism in reality just attempts to crush the (relatively amateurishly organized) local competition to their own hegemony. That isn't propaganda. It's an organization who cleverly knows how to abuse the general ignorance of most citizens regarding these countries and abusing it to frame reality into a conveniently useful picture/justification for their attempt to take (even more) control.

As much as there is all kind of things wrong with these opposing countries, of which there indeed is plenty, there is equally nothing good or lofty about what the EU is doing at the moment. As ironic as it might be, the local corruption and oligarchies in these countries may in fact only be child's play compared what has infested the EU.

The main difference probably being the success with which criminal elements within the EU have managed to hide their activities from the general population. Probably not in the least by "outsourcing" a lot of its business to either outside EU, or to local shady endeavors in these countries now criticized, where it's a lot easier to hide how profits are being made.

Of course, countries like Czechia, Hungary, Poland and a few more certainly should do more about their internal corruption. But what most people forget is that the current status quo to a large degree was build up and supported by powerful figures within the EU. Most of that because these corruptions at the fringes of the EU territory just so happened to be very convenient and profitable for the people who "accidentally" let all of this happen on their watch. Mind you, figures like Victor Orban became as powerful as they are now by gaming EU rules, with the full knowledge of those who made and governed those rules!
It's Gaben being proved right over and over and over again. Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.
The most consistent pattern I have observed as an older developer with some years on a resume is absolute utter astonishment when I don't want to waste time on a bunch of confused newb shit like sickly bloated frameworks with a million dependencies. Its weird to hear people acknowledge that I have just so much experience on paper and yet be so amazingly dumbfounded surprised that I would be focused on less junior things.

I haven't yet found the proper words to converse through that, but a team of similarly older developers sharing similar concerns adds tremendous value.
IIRC the west intelligence community reported him as a sort of control on the taliban. How or why is a bit of a deep dive, but historically it looks like they were right.
Those are certainly better, but I would still block them, because they are ultimately still ads that interfere with my focus.

So how do I expect the content creators to make money? I assume there are some people who are watching their ads.

The author of this is ex-Board of Goldman Sachs Infosec, current GCP CISO, and is about the only security thought leader who puts up LI content that is not total garbage (Ron Ross of NIST is the other I can think of).

Yet, in the comments, people are explaining Phil’s view of the job to Phil, because Phil is apparently not an “actual technical security expert.” … what?

People like PV build and lead very competent security programs because they see nuance, and focus on biz value. Sec engs, aka “actual technical security experts” who burn out or their companies burn out on them usually don’t.

Edit: I just double checked his resume, forgot to add board if h1, BISO/CISO of a few other banks, former SWE, so on. Security culture is it’s own worst enemy sometimes when evaluating content like this.
So, the problems brought on by the uniquely weird and shitty US health insurance system will persist when we transition to the tried-and-tested alternatives the rest of the developed world use without those problems?
