Such a big question.. Here from least to most involved based on my experience:

If you only need incorporation, accounting and taxes solved, you can just pay ~hourly. Price will depend on time spent. Budget more in the beginning to find a good setup that will save time later. Accountants generally know very little about automation opportunities, so you need to find them yourself.

For sales positions, I'd always go for results-based compensation (like awarding equity as results are reached).

If the person does more than pure sales, you need a non-tech cofounder with some equity and the task to build commercial processes, do sales, decide features.

What you need will depend very much on your own skills and the product. Some stories: For my first startup, a physical consumer product, I had an equal partner with complementary skills who was very involved in product dev and sales. This worked well.

Later, in two other startups, I had technical cofounders and there was nobody to do sales and collect feedback. Worked less well obviously.

Hope this helps a bit and good luck with your idea!
We steered our kids from all of the Disney Channel tweener sitcoms.. they're awful in that way.
You are absolutely right. The manufacturer and the law has no say on the usage of a device I own. And still I cannot expect them to support a way of usage that was never intended. So Apple shouldn't be (and isn't) able to sue jailbreakers, but they don't have to make it easy for them.
That ideal job can exist, though you may have to create the company yourself (that's what I ended up doing). We were very small (5-7 people) and thought it'd be fun to try out different forms of compensation, so after some experimentation we settled on:

- very healthy hourly rate
- min commit of X hours per month (I think it was 80), then work as few or as many as you want beyond that (though for planning purposes we'd often ask people to give us a rough idea of their plans for the next few weeks)
- various bonuses that would kick in when the group reached different milestones each month (this was a consulting company, so a lot of them revolved around billable hours)
- no additional paid benefits at all

That last one took the most time for people to get on board with initially, but ultimately proved to be really popular. I think it had to do with how entrenched the mindset is around the norm, but concepts like getting paid even though you're not working, or having your employer be involved with your health insurance are pretty odd if you think about it. Things like sick leave, paid time off, etc. are also things that look nice on paper but IMO tend to be a net loss for employees - they tend to be assigned inflated values by the companies and are used as leverage against employees.
I feel like Jailbreaking was much more of a thing about 10-12 years ago when the iPhone 3G/3GS and 4 came out. Around that time iOS was still pretty limited in what you could do . So Jailbreaking gave you the ability to:

- Set a background wallpaper
- Reply to SMS in a quick reply window (I still miss BiteSMS)
- Create albums in Photos.
- An "Android Like" (back then) quick toggle.

Nowdays all these features and more are part of iOS, but back then Jailbreaking let you do so many things that Apple hadn't gotten around to including in iOS.
USDC isn't audited either.

And the risk is systemic. Either you put up with it, or you get out of crypto.

Wow, I'd never heard about this, but just read the Wikipedia blurb[0]. It doesn't appear to be established fact that the bomb was indeed placed by the police, but it doesn't seem like it would have been surprising if they had.

Pretty shameful that Mayor Alioto override the Supes and caved to the police's demands rather than calling in the National Guard and taking the entire striking force into custody. But I guess people don't always make the best decisions while their lives are being threatened...

But with the market cap it’s at now it is really hard to phantom. I mean it’s the most valued car manufacturer in the world and beat Toyota by so much..! Even by being a bullish for a long long time. It’s hard to see a reasonable spot to enter now.
The key difference is with Android you can take responsibility for your own security if you choose; it's a Linux not so different to any other.

On iPhone you don't have that option, and you have no way of knowing if your phone was compromised.

Legally sure, but it doesn't mean we have to tolerate it as normal. Just like disinheriting your children is legal, but ought to be condemned in normal society in general.
The first confirmed Covid cases were in Wuhan, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the place of origination. The lead researcher of the WHO team says himself it's unlikely to have originated in Wuhan, and indicated that it has probably originated from elsewhere, possibly in other countries.

On the one hand, yes.

On the other hand, if some centrally-run MMO were to use NFTs that they issue for its items (or, I guess probably maybe they shouldn’t be non-fungible really, because one “hammer of smiting” should probably be equivalent to any other “hammer of smiting”, no point keeping track of them as separate entities when you can just keep track of who owns how many of each. But that is beside the point),
Well, the game devs still control how these items actually behave in-game.
If they want to take away someone’s mystic scepter of lightning, they can just make the game cease to acknowledge the existing “mystic scepter of lightning” token, and give everyone other than that person a new token for “mystic scepter of lightning” and have the game recognize this new token.

So, sure, this person gets to keep their token, but it no longer has the in-game effect or appearance.

So, what’s the point? If the salt loses its saltiness, it is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Someone could make another game which does use the token, but, if this is an mmo, a large part of the value requires the other players. (As, otherwise, why bother making it an online game at all? Just make a local single player game, where the developers can’t change what is on the player’s computer (unless the player chooses to update) anyway,
so unless this other game can get a substantial player base, why would this make the old token for the lightning scepter useful again?

So, for [this strategy of using tokens for items in the game with the goal of making people really possess the items, not at the mercy of the people running the game] to make sense, the entire game would have to be decentralized, or something like that.

(The Cryptokitties thing was kind of like that iirc, in that the page to render them and whatnot was just released as a self-contained thing over IPFS, and while the developers could, of course, release a modified version of it later if they wanted, the original version would still be available and working as long as people wanted to continue using it. Also iirc other people made alternative clients for it which rendered the cats in different ways? So, that kind of fits the idea of “some other game including the scepter token” I guess?)

But if an mmo game is to have like, continuing updates, for new content and such, that doesn’t really seem compatible with the “you really own the items in a meaningful way”.
I suppose it could be set up such that players who didn’t want to update could continue to play an old version, with some degree of compatibility between earlier and later versions? But you can’t trade a Lugia from pokemon Silver to pokemon Blue (though you can trade a Paras from Silver to Blue).
California protects employees from the threat of employers trying to force them into taking political action - i.e. you need to donate to a political candidate or attend a political event or be fired. It doesn't interfere with freedom of association for political actions taken by the employee independent of threat, such as being fired after making islamophobic comments.
What I find more interesting than the rumors detailed in the article is the timing of publication. Crypto markets are moved by fud and fomo, to me the timing is no coincidence.
Correct, I guess. Online racial supremacists are diverse and multinational. It is not a quality in itself. Optimizing this metric is futile and doesn't solve prejudice. On the contrary I believe.
For US at least, the Texas site is real big. Like I think they could double capacity a few times. So may be a matter of scaling it up for a bit before needing to add another brand new factory.
Sideloading apps is not a feature of iOS. It is also illegal unless the app explicitly allows it in their license. If you need to be able to side load apps, you need a device intended for this purpose.

Regarding data, all user data on iOS is backed up either through iCloud and/or on your Mac.
He's also an outspoken white supremacist... so maybe don't
Great feedback. In our workflow, as soon as a task request is submitted via the app, the customer (immigrant) is matched with a vendor back home. The customer will know by name which vendor they are matched with and can even collaborate with the vendor through a messaging feature. If the customer wants more info they can view vendor details and bio within the app also.

In your point #5, not sure exactly what you are asking but in our app you pay directly through the app using a credit card - payment verification is done through the payment gateway provider.
Sure. Could we spend that $20 billion better every four years? Absolutely. Would we? Not a chance.
I’ve seen this green form of iron in a few circumstances. One, glass. The green tint to common bottle and window glass is from iron impurities. Secondly, in my childhood my parents decided to top off the swimming pool with water from well. After a few days it turned a deep rusty brown. We obtained some sort of chemical from the pool supply store which was supposed to make the iron precipitate somehow. When that happened, the iron sank to the bottom as a powder and the water turned a beautiful green color.

> would love if they let their cars feed into a transfer switch etc

I have to imagine that's a non trivial task that would require Permission To Operate from your power company.

When you have solar/batteries installed, you have to be inspected and receive PTO from your energy provider.

They only just opened up their Beta to allow your Powerwall to backfeed power to the grid on demand.

If and when they allow vehicles to supply power to the grid, it is going to require the vehicle owner to have their setup inspected and PTO granted. I have a feeling this will dissuade people who don't already have solar/batteries from participating.
I find it much easier to collaborate over Zoom when I have all my screen space and computer to myself. I prefer it so much that I actually changed our company weeklies to be remote-first.
Our eye only has good vision in the center. So, there is usually no mimicking the eye for designing imaging systems.
Some questions about these statements: are they based on what was seen in the WIV database before it got taken down in September of 2019? Independent of that, how can we be sure WIV isn’t just withholding genomes that are more closely related to SARS-CoV-2?
Mmmm... light grey text on a white background. How fashionably illegible!
Arguments employed by the anti-lockdown crowd (of which Rand Paul is one) are increasingly resembling the "climate skeptics" crowd - it doesn't matter whether their various positions are consistent with each other. It only matters that each one of them, taken individually, undermines the "mainstream" narrative. Hence, coronavirus is nothing to worry about, lockdowns are unnecessary, vaccines are unnecessary, and at the same time the CDC is responsible for millions of deaths.
> If the total cost of ownership is lower with an EV, you can drag the payments out longer with lower interest financing because the vehicle will last longer.

An EV is much less convenient than a conventional vehicle, it needs to have a lower CoO just to offset that. Once electric vehicles can charge in comparable times to gas for comparable miles, then we can talk, in the meantime you're gaining lower ownership cost for more hassle (and that's ok, but you cannot double-dip it).

> I don't mind an 84 month auto loan at <2% interest

That's available on gas vehicles too (and even better interest rates in some cases), largely offsetting whatever edge you're trying to argue.

> You might not see $25K EVs, but you'll see used versions around that price with 100k+ miles on them that still drive like they're new

Drive like? Yes. Range? Unlikely. Just look at the costs of a full battery module replacement, it would eat up over 50% of that $25K price. Plus the rate of technological advancement may hurt old EVs worse than gas vehicles, because one is advancing more rapidly than the other.

I suspect a lot of people care that electric sedans costs almost $15K more than hybrid sedans, and I suspect you'll see sales explode if a "Model 2" that cost $25K~ were ever produced (with a few disclaimers on range, seat capacity, etc).
I use my device to scratch my nose who is anyone to tell me how to use my device after I purchase it? A jailbroken iPhone has been useful in so many ways over the years. Currently I am not jailbroken but wish I was just to see all the cool mods I could have access too. There are so many useful tools it blew my mind all the missing features Apple left out. Hell when I bought the phone Rogers sold me a video messaging plan. Sure was surprised to learn the original iPhone didn’t even have native video recording. I was however able to jailbreak and download Cycorder and suddenly I could use my device not as it was intended I guess but super useful to me. Your point of view seems so narrow minded to me.
I'm replying to you because you're the top comment, but this is a general response, because I feel like many replies have misconstrued my meaning.

I am not asking what happens in countries with socialized healthcare. I'm also not asking what are the flaws of private healthcare. I am only asking, supposing that there are other countries where there is private healthcare, how those countries deal with nonpayment. If there are no other such countries the question is moot but I had been led to believe that there are some.
It would be rare to see, for instance, a group of humans spontaneously arrive and assemble a structure without having some pre-coordinated objective. If it's the same structure they've built a hundred times before (say an Amish barn raising), you may not even see any clear or explicit coordination during the work. And on any given day (say when it's being painted) a conventional construction project may similarly appear uncoordinated and headless.

But you can be pretty confident that that morning or some days before what was to be painted and what color was already set out. And when the foundation was laid, and plumbing installed, there was a plan communicated to those workers. Not necessarily the day of, but again sometime in advance.

If we scale to cities and towns, you'll be more likely to see a kind of uncoordinated development. The corner shop wasn't intended to be there on day one (outside of planned cities, at least), but someone recognized that it had value (on a popular foot path, near some homes or offices) and met the need without explicitly coordinating with the others. Of course, this is also tempered by zoning and permitting laws.
Perhapes we should just require the camera to be turned on and on their person for them to have the legal privileges and protections that we grant to law officers. If they turn it off or leave it behind for example during a restroom break then they are, under the eyes of the law, a civilian until it is turned back on. and any evidence "found" somewhere that they had gone without the camera while off the clock as it were is either inadmissible or must have a hire bar to be able to be used. so on planting drugs on a piss break to just walk in again with the camera on and "find it"
Ok, but what was the median? It's a way better indicator for this type of analysis.
How far can we push our power grids into the "no intertia" realm until things start to fall apart catastrophically? Is that what this is all about?

If we ignored all of the other factors, wouldn't we ideally have as much inertia (damping) as we can spare for the grid?

What would stop us from arbitrarily adding super-heavy motor-generators to the grid but without the gas turbine part? You don't need a prime power source to actually add old-school inertia to the grid...
Yes, but I don't have time to sort through hundreds of them. I'm asking which ones you think are the low hanging fruit. Just 3 or 4 examples would do.

The key is the automation of the tests. I personally hold the belief that the logic author should also be the spec author, and it's QA's jobs to find gaps in your model of the world.

The barrier means QA doesn't have the same model, and often lacks info that you have. That's valuable in some aspects, but it's not double-entry. (Double entry in accounting means that you always record two transactions that need to match each other, not that there's independent verification - that'd be auditing)

I believe you need both double-entry and independent verification. (Of course, that depends on scope & desired quality. Your 100-line bash script that you only run to print fortunes for your friends probably needs less rigor than products that are used by billions, or that have life-or-death impact)

You're right that it's not specifically TDD that enables this - but you do want automated unit tests written by the developer, whatever methodology you use. (Or at least I want them :)
If we continue with your analogy, then you're going to not believe it, but a squirrel came in through the kitchen window and took a cookie. It sounds unlikely, but consider:

* A raccoon took a cookie a few weeks ago, and of course you remember when the cat got onto the counter and took a cookie last year (remember SARS and MERS?)

* We have footage from the home-security camera showing the squirrel entering the window from the outside and running off with the cookie (genetics comfirms natural evolutionary rate, disconfirms gene edits to SARS-COV-2)

* There's a family of squirrels living in the tree whose branches come up to the window (SARS is prevalent in bats and key features of its virulence and provoked immune response come from known SARS viruses in bats and pangolins)

You could be right, but you need non-circumstantial evidence in order to counter our molecular genetic studies.

"You have nothing to add to my reply"

Please re-read the rest of my reply.

"Diverse often means to accept less qualification for the sake of accomplishing diversity, unfortunately."

This is your opinion. It's not factual, and I'm pointing this out. There is nothing intrinsic about being more diverse that makes it lower quality or less able "to execute" than a monoculture. There is nothing about monocultures that means they are more, or less, capable "to execute" in the first place... a lot of them are just buddies hiring buddies. It's your assumption in the first place that these are efficient or meritocratic in the first place. They can be. Many businesses aren't even efficient or good at executing.

"It's not the perspectives that matter, its execution."

...perspectives are what influence execution in the first place. You need to be able to execute a plan well, but creating a good plan is also vital. Diverse perspectives catch potential design flaws and other things that can be missed by having a monoculture (any monoculture) in leadership.
I was curious about that too. Many other people use Windows 10 and this is the first time this issue has come up, so there must be something else unusual going on here. If no one could install packages on Windows 10, we'd have heard about it.
I think parent meant conservation of the amino acid is weak and still the structure remains the same overall. So sequence similarity is not everything.

Reason might be the overall protein fold is guided also by something else than detailed side chain contacts.

BTW: Hydrogen bonding and salt contacts do not drive protein folding at least not thermodynamically because it does not matter whether polar/charged residues interact with others or with water. Rather, the reason why proteins fold is the same why oil and water do not mix: Hydrophobic amino acids avoid water. This is an entropy driven process where electrostatic interactions do not matter. See also the „molten globules“ model. Basically it means a predecessor of the protein folds early on due to a collapse of the hydrophobic core. Tertiary structure is then refined due to residue/residue interactions. In the end, it’s the distribution of hydrophobic amino acids in its sequence that’s most important for the conservation of a structure. Surface residues can vary quite a lot.
I hear the "bad apple" thing a lot when it comes to discussions of bad cops, and it's usually in the context you're using it, e.g., "sure, there are some bad apples, but you can't hold everyone responsible for them."

Yet the actual old folk wisdom was "one bad apple can spoil the barrel," or as Benjamin Franklin rephrased it in Poor Richard's Almanack, "the rotten apple spoils his companion." The entire point is that we don't get to just say "it's one bad apple." A barrel with one bad apple in it quickly becomes a barrel of bad apples.

The uproar we've seen isn't just about example after example of police brutality, poor treatment of minorities, and abuse of power. It's about the overwhelming resistance among the police to change, to accountability, even to self-examination. It's about how the reaction, by and large, to "bad apples" isn't to say "we need to get rid of that one," but rather to say "we need to protect our own."

We don't treat police as second-class citizens; we entrust them with extraordinary power and latitude. In return, shouldn't we be holding them to an extraordinarily high standard?
> Show me someone who loves office life and being around people who are forced to be together, and I will show you someone with a perverse addiction to confict.

I see where you are coming from, but honestly the workplace is one of the rare places someone can easily make friends after 30, precisely because someone is forcing you to be together with other people.

There are obviously other ways to do this (hobbies, etc) but they typically aren't as simple and you're now setting up a second thing you need to participate in. I don't think people love being in the office; they love being with other people instead of being stuck by themselves in their home or quietly sitting by themselves in a coffee shop.
I could have seen people doing that during the time before Jobs' return. By 2002, OS X had been released, and the wave of iMacs and what not had been around.

What happened during that week in 2002 that I'm not remembering?
