This whole mess brought back a memory of when I was 4 to 5 years old (so probably 1971). During a summer vacation we were walking at a harbor in Tuscany with my parents and they told me suddenly I had to take a dump. Problem was that there was no bathroom nearby, well it probably was since the place was filled with restaurants, but we were like a hundred meters from the nearest one, which was incompatible with the sudden need of a baby like I was. So my parents quickly found an area with vegetation behind a building, helped me remove my clothes and sit down waiting for me to unload all that stuff. Then my father saw me doing an expression they later described as priceless, so he quickly shouted me to wait, then grabbed his Nikon and shot me a photo. That photo later that year won a prize.

Now imagine the same happening today with my dad shooting me a photo using his iPhone, only to trigger a CSAM alert somewhere an probably be investigated for child abuse. Just no thanks. Screw you Apple, and all those who pull your strings into creating this farce.

Do I need to have my stock vest if I am a solo founder?
I want to incorporate my company as a Deleware C-corp. I am a solo founder, at the moment.

Will investors want me to be on a vesting schedule even though I am a solo founder? If so what would the appropriate vesting schedule look like in my case? I have already been working on the idea for almost a year...

Lastly, if I decided to have all my equity vest on day one. Eventually down the line if I get investment can I retroactively take equity away from my self and then set up a vesting schedule to satisfy an investor?

Thanks in advance everyone !

Question for Android users: do you have Google Photos backup enabled?

I’d say most people have iCloud Photos enabled, so I’m trying to gauge whether that’s true of Google Photos too.

Google Photos also does CSAM scanning, I believe
Do you think having all the members of the subreddit (or the entire site) vote on who the mod should be? I think there are many ways to make this efficient by statistical sampling, proxy votes, and detecting when statistical errors occur. To restrict people to one account you'd need to verify phone numbers.

I'm currently trying to build this but I'm not a programmer so it's slow going. I'm interested in your thoughts as I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

You're right, of course—I just resent being punished for other people's bad password choices. I wish they would turn it off by default (including changing existing accounts) and bury a checkbox deep in settings somewhere to turn it back on. Enabling the checkbox could even require that you change your Github password to something auto-generated!

Most surprising part is that he's likely to reprise his leadership role at Samsung:

>"Mr Lee was sent to prison for bribing Park Geun-hye, the previous president, to obtain her government’s support for a merger in 2015 that solidified his control over Samsung. Other leaders of South Korea’s chaebol, or conglomerates, had been lobbying Mr Moon to pardon Mr Lee so he could return to the helm of Samsung and steer the company through intensifying competition with rival chipmakers."

~~

>"The justice ministry has yet to say whether it will grant Mr Lee an exemption from the employment ban imposed on those convicted of economic crimes and allow him to return to his day job at Samsung. But he is widely expected to do so eventually, even though it is unclear whether his absence has actually had any negative impact on the company’s day-to-day business."

Apple already scans your photos for faces and syncs found faces through iCloud. I’d imagine updating that machine learning model is at least as straightforward as this one.
It seems easy as hell for them to just change the system to do server-side scanning instead of client-side scanning and it would probably be enough to calm the horde.

I think people can understand, Apple can't have certain content on their servers. People have a much harder time understanding that Apple needs to make sure you don't have certain content on your phone.

I bet it's harder to staff a janitor job in Switzerland than in France, with unemployment rate being so much higher in the latter country... Might that explain the difference as well?

I guess what I'm saying is that businesses as a whole tend to hire people at the lowest possible costs given to them by the job market, not based on what they want the worker's disposable income to be after costs are deducted.

Costs of living do affect the offer side of the market - the willingness of people to take various jobs at various salaries.

What I'm observing in software engineering is places with smaller differences in cost of living than in pay levels, which I'd attribute to talent competition...
So, lemme preface this by saying I also use my own NAS at home and wholly support your push for self-hosting. That said, I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, because this is an area I admittedly haven't put much thought into.

And my first concern is that a laptop or desktop (or my NAS) won't fare well if an apartment is broken into and the devices are stolen, or they get severely damaged in a natural disaster. What might a good mitigation be for that that doesn't involve spinning up a VPS via DO, etc.?
I have some kidney problems and I researched urology and nephrology a little bit and I can tell this is most probably acute kidney inflammation as a immune system's response to mRNA vaccine.

It is not known to me why some people get it or not get it. Maybe it is genetics maybe there are underlying kidney conditions just like I have.

Acute kidney disease can be serious if it is high grade inflammation which can damage kidneys and then you will probably be given Corticosteroid treatment to calm down the inflammation. But if it is low grade it should go away within 1 month.
You can always make a "you never know, something completely unforeseen may happe", and you will be right.

growing up in new york and living in manhattan skyrises, the level of inefficiency and wasteful airconditioning borders on near deliberate recklessness , both in design and maintanance of structures.

skyrises were litterally built to bake in the sun and then have people use airconditioning to shoot up hot air outside the faces of the building, further heating up the interior.

to boot, many skyscrapers were built to trap air inside so as to ensure apartments don't get smells and stale air from other apartments or hallways, and thus, the pathway of air going through a labrynth of ductwork is completely inadequate.
oh yea, but you can air-condition your small box in a tooth pick tower with brick heat mass on the outside that radiates all day and then all night inwards into the structure.

this won't last because it cannot.

It isn't necessary to believe in a slippery slope to be very alarmed at this.

Their 1-in-a-trillion estimate of false positives is very likely total horseshit (there was a recent article on dissecting that claim from someone familiar with CSAM).

It also opens up a "swatting" avenue where if someone hacks your phone they can upload CSAM images and apple will sicthe authorities on you. Good luck with that.

Permacomputing Update 2021
Correct.

The one odd thing I don't get. It would be a lot EASIER to just scan everything when its in the cloud itself.

Why go to this trouble to avoid looking at users photos in the cloud, set these thresholds etc. You'd only need to scan on device if for some reason you blocked your own ability to scan in cloud (ie, for E2E photos - which I don't think users actually want).
The scanning is not done in iCloud.
Yes, I feel the same way. I was only 15 back in 1991, but was involved with BBSes, Usenet, early ISPs, etc. The "early commercial Internet" years (1991 - 1996 or so) were so much fun.

> Bitcoin maintains scarcity without getting slower over time.

How? Isn't the whole point of Satoshi's algorithm that those magic numbers it takes to commit a transaction are ever fewer and farther between? So -- given the same model and number of computers -- it takes ever longer to "mine" the next one? That is, by definition, getting slower. If you're arguing that they're still finding the same, eh, number of magic numbers per day, that's only because they're "compressing time" by throwing ever more and ever faster computers at it.

The point of Stross' idea was that this ever-increasing scarcity can be provided by astrophysics in stead of an algorithm, which AFAICS is pretty fucking genius. If your problem with that is "but then we can't beat the ever-increasing-scarcity algorithm by throwing ever more resources at the problem to keep up the speed!"... Well, then YTF use something based on ever-increasing scarcity in the first place?

> You also seem to be under the false impression that Bitcoin requires monotonically increasing energy consumption.

Well, no, not necessarily: If everyone just keeps their silly tokens where they are, I can see that it would take no energy at all. Not much of a "currency" then, though, if you can't actually do any trades with it, now is it? In practice, though: Yeah, that seems pretty much exactly what it has been requiring for all of its existence, and no end is in sight.

> The amount of energy consumed by Bitcoin is a function of demand for security by its users,

Huh? So Bit"coin" is millions of times as secure now as it was a decade or so ago? Wow, it must have had really crappy security back then. If you're saying it was so insecure then that it was pretty much fraud to sell it for real money, and sure, those guys should be in jail -- but fortunately it's a million times safer now... What do you then say to your equivalent (or yourself) ten years in the future, when they say the same about you now?

> which presumably should equilibrate at some point.

But it still hasn't, has it? And there is no such point in sight, or can you give us an approximate date? Within six months is precise enough...

Unfortunately, the point where the actual resource usage exceeded what's reasonable to waste on silly games like this was passed long ago. So unless you can fix it so it goes back to where it was in, say, the third or fourth year by tomorrow, it's already so deep into unreasonable territory that shutting down the whole damn Ponzi scheme seems ever more like the only sensible thing to do, lest this fucking Paperclip Maximizer eat the world.

I currently work in the crypto space (views are my own). For the life of me, I cannot understand why we do not have a foundation built on something like TLA+ or the Z3 theorem prover instead of paying another human to try and poke your code for thousands of dollars. Maybe formal methods wouldn't be a silver bullet, but it seems a lot better and less error prone than manual review. Or maybe adopt existing knowledge from safety critical environments (e.g. programming brakes on a locomotive).

I always feel like we're making mistakes that tangential areas of software engineering must have already solved. I guess devs tend to also not like math or writing proofs either, which is ironic given this is "crypto" lol.

> According to [link] 84% of freight by volume is under 500 miles.

And by mass? A furniture store in (e.g.) Chicago will order a bunch of sofas; the resulting shipping container full of furniture won't weigh a lot, and will mostly be air. This is part of an existing logistical setup between the store, distributor, and manufacturer (which may be on the other side of the Pacific).

Meanwhile, a 'random', ad hoc transaction causes some earth moving equipment to be either sold or rented, and so needs to be moved to the new owner / job site with-in a couple of days. Arranging for a train shipment (assuming it can even fit on a train) may take longer than just posting the job on a trucking board and having someone show up the next day:

Is shipping a Ferrari easier or harder on a train than a truck?

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-inPRBhonfY

Perhaps we'll get to a more electric truck future, or perhaps an hybrid / range extender interim, but there are a number of cases where things don't work out, especially if you're moving at max load, with extra axles, on short notice.

Shipping on rail is already quite cheap in many cases, and yet there's a sizeable industry for long-distance freight, at about US$ 200B per year:

* https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/market-size/lo...

That's about a quarter of the $800B trucking industry total:

If people though trains were cheaper, easier, and/or faster I would guess they'd be using them already—and probably are whenever they can.

> '91 would be better though - better salaries in a lot of jobs

Not in tech though. Engineering jobs paid middle-class level well, but nothing out of the ordinary for white-collar professionals. Starting salaries were in the 30Ks for top offers in rich companies but many people started in the 20Ks. You had to be Sr.Dir/VP level to start getting close to 100K.

The concept of engineers with a few years of experience making more salary than top-level surgeons was inconceivable. So purely on a financial sense, it's much better to be a new grad in software today than in '91.

Still, I'd rather be paid 35K doing ground-breaking UNIX kernel or networking work than be paid 500K building yet another adware/spyware social app.
I'd buy. Unless chat is core to the functionality of what you're building, why would you re-invent the wheel?
> this kind of backdoor is the kind of thing that makes big corps prohibit the use/purchases of devices.

I wouldn't be too hopeful about this. They can just disable this feature if the device is enrolled in MDM. For enterprise devices, the company itself is responsible for what's on them. And depending on the company, they may already scan all content for a bunch of stuff (like exfiltrating trade secrets or whatever).
You can use a supporting Git Credential Manager (such as GCM Core: https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core) to keep using HTTPS and login/password. Instead of typing in your username/password directly in the CLI, it pops up GitHub's login page where you input login/password and then does the dance for you to get an access token from that.

(Git for Windows default installs GCM Core. Some Linux distros do to. You may even already be using it. I think I've seen some confusion in comments here and elsewhere that they don't realize they are already typing in their username/password to a GCM dialog and that's going to keep working. This is about removing HTTPS Digest auth with direct password transmission over the wire.)
