It is in fact not the practice of most publicly traded companies to award equity outside the tech company, even to highly-compensated employees.

I'd grew up with a Commodore 16, then Amstrad. Never owned a 'speccy' but it was the machine everyone else around me had. Definitely part of a thankful generation with fond memories.
Simply speaking - more bandwidth due to increased bus width. And later increased frequency in PCI-X slot.

But lack of useful desktop/workstation hardware and adoption of PCIe on PCs killed it.
The most interesting thing about this being that people care.

Very little discussion about how Mailchimp services will perform under Intuit, here.

So the lesson is don't make zero equity and zero exits your personality trait, but probably do the same things either way.

That's a fair point. This engine would be useful if you need grep over internet (by without regexes), i.e. when you want to find the exact phrases. But that's a relatively narrow use case.
No: The BASIC on the QL was one of the best BASICs ever. What killed the QL was imho those fucking awful microdrive cartridges. Unreliable, slow and quick to fail.
And. Things and people can change their minds. Promises, absolutes or forevers should come with some kind of enforcing mechanism to be really, permanently trusted. And even then, beware of the penalty not being 'high enough'.

But it's OK. It was very naive to say 'never' and it was a bit naive to take it at face value. As long as they paid their employees well and treated them with respect, and were clear of their prospects, I fail to see who is hurt here ? Except customers being now under the Intuit umbrella, that must hurt...
My first computer was also a Spectrum (Spectrum+ 48k). Incredible machine, it taught me lots of things, including ... patience!

What a journey has been since then.

Thank you, Sir.

> If you wanted to play games, you could either shell out for more hardware and purchase the games on disk or cartridge, or you could type them in from a magazine

There was a third possibility: you could figure out how the game worked and write your own version from scratch. I learned so much about programming by writing a Pac-Man clone on a ZX Spectrum simply because I didn't have the pocket money to keep feeding the arcade machines, or even to buy someone else's knock-off version on a cassette tape. I quickly got bored of typing in other peoples' programs from a magazine, much more fun to write your own.

My memory, it was generally true about the C64/ZX split being about gamers vs coders; however I did know some "Speccy" owners (generally with slightly-better-off parents) who had lots and lots of different games on tapes and did nothing but play games on the machine. Yes, I "borrowed" a lot of games by copying the tapes on an Amstrad dual-cassette stereo system (thank you, Sir Alan!) but I'm really glad that generally, scarcity of an "easy option" forced me into a place where I had to write my own code.
Military service isn't popular at all, but the majority of people do agree that it's necessary to have a military and they don't want a professional army. So that leaves the current system.

Mix running in with your walking. Go for a walk. Jog part of the way. At first maybe it's just for 20-30 seconds at a time. That's ok. Steadily increase until you're running most or all of the way. (aka "wind sprints" aka fartlek)

Running shoes make a difference. They don't need to be fancy, they just need to fit! Pay attention to the wear patterns on the bottom. If the inside of the soles wear out faster than the outside or vice versa you have pronation/supination issues. Not the end of the world but it will affect your choice of shoes.

Running shoes wear out pretty fast; depending on your weight and usage they lose their cushioning after just a few hundred miles or less. My personal opinion is that folks would be generally be better off with two pairs of $50USD shoes per year vs. one pair of $100USD shoes per year -- better to have fresh cushioning than the marginal advantages of the higher end shoe. But, I am not an expert by far.

Ultimately of course, finding something fun is the key to sticking with exercise. For me it was tennis. I love playing it and it spurs me to make better health choices elsewhere in life. Though I am very much a work in progress.
Most people who consistently exercise don't do it via amazing willpower, but because they enjoy the exercise they do. If you enjoy hiking or marathon running, exercise by doing those. Otherwise, use the responses here and search through the active activities state-space for things that catch your fancy. I enjoy tennis, so I do that, but if I tried to exercise by running I'd quit by day 3.

You have non-quadratic alternatives. Sort the string and then start iterating through the characters. Keep a boolean for if you've ever seen a character an odd number of times. The first time you get an odd count for a given character, set the bool to true. The second time, you see the bool is already true so you know the word isn't a palindrome and can immediately return false. If you get to the end of the string without hitting that condition, return true.
As the article points out, Modern was spending 500M a year on research before becoming profitable. Do you think a one time payment of 25M from DARPA was in any way relevant to their success?
What makes a huge difference for me is having a progression plan and tracking my progress. With both running and lifting, it’s easy to set short term and long term goals and see yourself reach them week after week. That helps with building the habit, and the habit is all you need.
working out sucks. the only time i ever enjoyed it was a short period where i treated it like a sport and went for personal records on lifts.

Find fun active things to do, jiu jitsu, maybe yoga, water sports, if you want to hike just go hike, find some adult sports thing. Or run if you want to do marathons(sounds boring, why do you want to do them? lol)

For food just keep it simple. Diets don't work in the long term. Cook for your self, and dont buy crap when you shop. If you dont have cookies and candy in your home then you simply can't eat it. Watch our for
"healthy" stuff, granola, juice are loaded with sugars. Just eat fresh stuff and cook for your self. Keep it simple otherwise it won't stick.
I overall agree with your takes on individual freedom, but the situation in Japan isn't all sunshine and roses like you make it seem.

> Japan never had lockdown and is doing fine without it

Japan does have an emergency lockdown, it's just that it's not legally enforceable. However, people who have disregarded the lockdown have and will be subject to intense public shaming and bashing.

Additionally, the Covid situation in Japan is far from being okay. The government and IOC's insistence on proceeding with the Olympics despite the slow vaccine rollouts have resulted in a surge of new cases and is continuing to put strain on the health care system [1]. The situation is so bad that the current prime minister is quitting over this.

Get on Zwift.

Purchase yourself a smart trainer like the Wahoo kickr V5. This has been a life changer for me. Stuck in lockdown Australia, with Zwift I can ride when ever I want, and for as long as I want too. I now ride about 50km a day, and am the fittest I've ever been.

China has no voters, so they don't need to be worried about public opinion(for now).

Furthermore, the effects of air pollution are more evident there so it's easier to sell the tradeoff, IMO(I know almost nothing about China, TBH).
In a business world “never” should be interpreted as “next 3 years”. Even if the one making a claim/promise genuinely mean literally never, the circumstances change. And when they do it is naive to expect them to not react. Don’t be dogmatic about attaching literal meaning to what’s said.

Eat healthy food. Don't smoke. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator. Drink water instead of sugar drinks. Take breaks from sitting. Either walk for a few minutes outside or get a height-adjustable desk and work both standing and sitting.

Also find a sport that doesn't bore you. Maybe you need to do a team sport to get motivated? Did you ever do a sport that you liked? Maybe try it again. You don't need to run if you think it's too boring but doing it occasionally certainly is a good idea.
I sort of read that area. It seems to be a trait of modern materials, which are often new and exciting composites that pose new and exciting challenges when they have to be taken apart for recycling.

New wind turbines use modern composites not because they're green, but because they're new. If you want a longer lighter blade for your wind turbine you use the latest strongest composite. If you want a thinner lighter doodah you do the same kind of thing, independent of whether that doodah has a greenish tinge or not.
If the leaders of a country and its specialists completely fail to prepare for such a crisis (even if it was well known that something similar - likely flu - would happen) and then make several immense mistakes while handling it, there's not a lot of options left except lockdowns.

Being against lockdowns in April-May 2020 is problematic, but should still be allowed because of free speech. Being against lockdowns in September 2021 is almost a civic duty. European governments had until now plenty of time to get their act together so that lockdowns would no longer be necessary.
Mostly off-topic, but what do you do when Android forces you to type your password again for "additional security" and you're in front of a bunch of people you can't practically hide your phone from? Do security-conscious folks disable it somehow (and if so, how)? It happens when you least expect it which makes it actually worse than just a plain password in that respect.
Whether they promised to sell, or not sell, either way, they never promised equity.

Not promising equity if you never sell can be a sensible decision, because otherwise you create expectations of a cash-out that never comes.

Not promising equity if you do sell can be a sensible decision, because you keep more of the money to yourself. As long as you're transparant about not selling, employees can evaluate your remaining value proposition (salary, profit-sharing, perks) and decide whether it's worth it.

All 12k employees evaluated that value proposition and said it's worth it.

At some point the founders changed their mind. And that's okay, people change their minds. Unless they lied about it from the beginning and tricked people into a company vision they knew was bs, but the evidence doesn't clearly point to that.
I had a Spectrum (couldn't afford a C64), but my friends had C64s. I was the only one I knew who ever did coding though. The C64s were still used lots, but just for games.
Can’t agree more with this tweet. It was amazing fonts directed by Frere-Jones that created almost all the value for H&F-J.
Or perhaps it's naive (and misleading and fraudulent) for business leaders to say "never" when they know it's not true and/or that they can't guarantee it.

If you say something, you should mean it, and you should be held to it. Please stop making excuses for liars.
I would suggest finding something that is fun, that you _want_ to do. Something you look forward to doing!

I just started playing badminton, which is great fun! Already planning my next few matches. (It is cheap, easy & accessible.)
Touch with no feedback (assuming no ridges or surface coat on the icons) for controls such as turn signals and horn is pretty scary to me. Maybe one could get used to it, but I don't see why replace physical buttons and levers. It's worked forever, you don't have to "learn it" or else miss blaring in a potentially dangerous situation, maybe because you couldn't twist your finger with pinpoint accuracy and precision and the yoke was not level so very hard to visualize in your mind without looking. It's absolutely one of the things touch controls fail at and any progress and innovation won't change until at least shape-shifting surfaces become mainstream (if ever)

> through repeated addition, digit by digit

when i read ideas like this I'm not sure what they mean

none of the early microprocessors had multiply instructions, but you can carry out a binary multiply using repeated shift+add, and if you don't have a shift you can add a number to itself and that's a shift... so all you are doing is adding but it's not the naive idea of adding a number over and over to simulate multiplication

or do they mean digit by digit and they are doing BCD multiplies? again, not that many adds are being performed so it's not a performance nightmare.

youngbloods don't realize how rarely a C programmer would invoke a multiply (or really need to) (and NEVER inside a loop) even a decade after these early calculators
Analysis of CVE-2021-30860
To be fair that's lots more money involved and needed in nuclear research. Of course that the private sector can also get hold of that amount of money but because of the way greater sums involved it needs to "show results" sooner rather than later.

Those using government funds can label it as "military research" or something similar and then they're looking at a least a few decades of no-one asking them where the money went and why.

In my opinion you're looking at the wrong problem.

If you're burned out, you won't have spare energy for anything else, and however you approach it, fitness requires a minimum amount of energy to be sustainable, which you don't have.

Technical solutions may lower the energy threshold, but they won't stick, as they won't lower the energy so much that you will stick to them long term, if you are mentally depleted.

It's true that some people feel a certain rush by starting a fitness plan/activity. But without energy and motivation, in the long (or even mid) term, it will fade.

There are also some motivations (I want to do XYZ), but those are external motivations, not internal; they also don't last.

My advice is to tackle the burnout problem with a therapist, then start a fitness plan, or at least, do it contextually to the mental recovery.
> If the founders take the cash and build, I dunno, the world's biggest yacht, that's a waste. But I think that's incredibly unlikely.

it's an email service provider for campaigns and other email spam with a recognizable brand, let's not imagine that this is beneficial beyond helping companies market stuff to people. It's like a meta-business enhancement service. Happy for the founders, hope they do some good with the new payout - but I think you are giving them a bit too much credit. Sure, kick back 100M to your old school district, maybe another 250M to BLM or to Math for America to strike off all of your philanthropic efforts in one go, curate some plebeian sympathies and smile for the cameras but at the end of the day, making it easy to bombard people with endless email campaigns isn't exactly solving global problems

EDIT: I reject hero worship vigorously - Mailchimp did a thing, it made money, and another entity that did a thing and made money that makes MORE money decided to absorb it and the cash payout was so good that investors/founders of MC decided to say fuck it, I'm done. Take my chips, gimme the loot. 12 billion dollars is generational wealth, but I mean I just can't/won't/don't respect people that have enabled spam or a business model that encourages bombarding people with BS. Same thing with IAP - I don't respect people who work for Apple because there was a layered hierarchy of priorities that said "we want to generate revenue at the expense of the people that trust us with their consumer electronics"

I just intrinsically cannot respect people that decide to profit off of wasting people's time, the only commodity you can't generate more of. Instead of craftsmanship we have psychopathic operators that try to fine tune all the ways to extract money from others and even develop meta-endeavors where people pay others to execute activities to get end-user observers ('users' in modern web dev parlance, for the JS devs) to waste time/spend money, for net negative expected value to themselves and others. It's super sordid and I just can't endorse it. Whatever.

In 25 years these guys will probably pull a Paul Allen and then start funding brain research or something after realizing that all the money in the world can't buy time and more life.

For devs, WinRT as COM evolution, using .NET Native and C++/CX.

Basically what .NET 1.0 should have been all along, a better way to write COM with AOT compiled language, following up on what VB 6 was already capable of.

Unfortunately internal politic games, and messed up execution kind of killed that.

Same! I had the Spectrum +2A model, which had a bunch of issues running older software. The OCP Art Package didn't work at all, so I ended up writing a really awful drawing program in BASIC. Figured out how to poll the mouse, detect button presses etc. I drew a toolbar on the left of the screen depicting squares, circles etc. If the mouse button was pressed within one of those, the drawing mode was changed. That would let me draw the objects on screen. That was also where I learned what sin and cos "really" did. Never got the bucket fill to work 'properly' - didn't know if BASIC 'gosub' supported recursion, and I can't even remember if I tried.
Start small. This is what I do - Drink a large glass of water as soon as I sit at my desk. This forces me to pee within 45-60 minutes.

Yea, considering how much effort Trump put into associating himself with vaccine development, pushing special funding for it and pushing for rapid approvals, it’s really weird that anyone thinks that Trump is or was anti–vaccine.

YES! Both Android and iOS insist we re-type our password at random times when using biometrics, and of course "random time" is always the worst possible time (in the subway, on a plane, etc.)

I don't understand this. Why force me to type a password at the risk of divulging it? What's the point of this?
