I would assume big streamers are running a business too. At the very least they are paying an accountant and probably lawyer (for incorporation, taxes). I'm sure some are also paying designers, editors, marketers, advertisers, agents, managers, etc.

On youtube you have streamers merging under the same umbrella to create branded channels.

IMO the differences compared to Disney is the scale of the production and the interactive medium (which is constrained by scale). Once you reach a certain scale I don't think you can expect much direct interaction due to the volume of chat. So really it's just scale.
I remember the first time I got a car. It was definitely freeing. But mostly because I lived in a car dependent garbage town. Everything was miles apart and criss crossed by death roads where walkers and cyclists had to be on full alert to avoid getting smeared by someone driving on a sidewalk or coming out of a driveway backwards at 30 mph.

I remember the first time I moved somewhere I didn't NEED a car to survive and it was AMAZING. All of a sudden the car went from being a source of freedom to an anchor. I didn't realize how much time, money, and pain went into owning one.

Insurance, registration, fuel, parking, maintenance, stressful driving, terrible commutes, time consuming trips to a grocery store, TRAFFIC, planning meals a week at a time, worrying about where I parked it, designated drivers and getting fatter every day. Cars are just a pain.

If you live in the middle of nowhere a car is the best thing in the world. It expands your access to everything. Living somewhere you don't need a car is is SO MUCH BETTER.
Fantastic summary, thank you for taking the time.

The article doesn’t get into how the damages were calculated. Was this a percentage of Tesla’s earnings during the period of discrimination? Because holy cow, that’s a lot of money.
> But as long as partying

Partying in Singapore? You sure? They are snoozefests.

You get some really awful factors working against you for parties:

1) Some 16% of population doesn't drink

2) No drugs allowed

3) People are exhausted from working

4) Can't fool nature: The best parties are in places which are considered dangerous such as Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Cuba, Panama...That's because the strong emotions and impulsivity which makes a good party are the same that can cause stuff to go south immediately as soon as sombody interacts with a girl in a wrong way or disrespects somebody. People are very dull and emotionless in Singapore.

eMMC is literally an "embedded" version of the same storage media as SD cards. If you're worried about your SD card media dying on you then eMMC is strictly worse; SD cards are at least socketed so when one dies you can just replace it. With eMMC you'd have to desolder the chip.

Is there any study or research on punitive damages and how jury's tend to award them across modern history?
Why strings and not integers and doubles? Why strings and not structs? You have given plenty of reasons why nullability in general can be useful, but not why it is mandatory for strings to be nullable. Unless the core of your argument is C has null strings so now everyone must support that poor decision for interop purposes.

Personally I prefer how Protocol buffers handles not present strings compared to C. If you stick to std::string, C++ isn't bad either.

“If the problem can be solved by money, then it’s not a problem”
Why start a party instead of creating a caucus within an existing one? No new party has prevailed in the US in centuries, and rarely elsewhere. It doesn't seem to be a solution in the domain of problems it's trying to solve.

I get the business side of politics is to represent people and their interests in the democratic process in exchange for financial support, but forking a party to do it may give you more direct access to those funds for efforts instead of having them filtered and allocated by the mainstream party, but at that point, you might as well just be another lobbyist group.

I could just start The Billionaires Party, whose goal is to ensure the interests of a few thousand people were represented in the democratic process, and if I could blackmail enough members of other parties, billionaires wouldn't be able to afford not to give donations to support my party. But if I wanted to do that, I wouldn't start a party, I would run a lobby group, or as above, organize a caucus of the establishment party members I could bend or compromise.

A party has constraints and restrictions, where a lobby group does not have the same ones, and if you want the benefits of party membership like electability, you give up some of the freedoms of lobbying. Reality is, politics isn't about fixing problems, it's about winning and having your interests prevail, and becoming the people who manage and extract value from problems, not solving them. To adapt a proverb, government isn't in the business of teaching men to fish, it's there to keep him coming back to be fed for a day in exchange for his continued compliance.

Of the options available, starting a new party seems so un-strategic as to be a fast filter to find suckers, like spelling mistakes in spam emails, where if people don't see those, they're likely vulnerable to being taken in. Forking a new party seems like a way to do that same thing.

That said, by splitting the vote in key areas, he can become a policy kingmaker, as is common with minority governments in the parliamentary system, and that's certainly a play, but it essentially reduces strategically to taking hostages to get policy concessions during an election cycle, which does work, but usually only once, and anything that requires follow through after his leverage is gone is going to be dropped and never touched by any party again. A new party is not the recipe for change.
None of that changes that being shut down for 2+ years has a high chance of killing most nightclub businesses.
Been using MongoDB for 7yrs now. Best thing I've ever done. NoSQL db like MongoDB cuts down on your joins a lot! Also taking business logic out of the DB and putting it all in the application layer makes things way easier with versioning and sharing code across projects. I love that the mongo database is just used as a black box. It saves data and it queries it, nothing more. This part is rarely talked about. The installation and having multiple versions running side by side is so easy. You can't beat just copying a folder of exe's and then run it and it works. I have systems that have been running for years and have never lost data. I don't use a RDB unless the client demands it.

Thanks for the link.

I think there can be a useful middle ground, where "fuzzy" descriptions are used with models to explain strategies that are developed organically.

I empathise with the OP on the lack of modelling in this space. I think it shows a lack of maturity of the field since good, simple models are usually used to produce fundamental understanding in a field.
When a sum like that is awarded, it usually goes to an appeals court which strikes it down.

That sounds like a recipe for more of the same. Though so does "I'm making a PAC about it!"

Though this "soft-launch" seems like more vapor than ware. I'd like to see more credibility, I'm just not sure how/when someone is supposed to bootstrap that.
I expect this is an area where erring on the side of caution is the better course. There's compelling evidence at least that high pornography consumption can lead to development of more extreme perversions and fetishes (check google scholar to confirm since I don't remember the studies). The known treatment in this case is psychotherapy, which is yet another reason that accessibility to mental health care ought to be universal.
What's the reason for this? I assume it's to combat marriage fraud, but is that not the case?

Thank you for the thoughtful explanation. Do you have any explanation for why these folks pretty reliably choose representation that pledges to relax environmental protections? Is it possible that they are concerned about the environment, but not concerned enough to matter at any practical level (e.g. given their expressed actions)?

Isn't this why they consider Daily/Monthly Active Users and not just accounts? If I have a Facebook account that I never log in to, I'm upping their count of users, sure, but not the DAU/MAU count, which is what marketers care about for reach.
Hence the “perfectly spherical cow” joke.
I will take a stab at it. When we left, we tried our best to find a good employer to take over our helper's contract. She had a family dependent on her, and the COVID measures implemented by the Ministry of Manpower were making it deliberately difficult for non-citizens to return to SG. In addition, during that time, only citizens with children & senior parents could get helper's contracts transferred to them, as they were deemed to be more in need of helper services.

In short, as another person alluded to with the "reverse caste" comment, here's the rough pecking order as perceived by domestic helpers.

#1 - European or American or Australian employer, living in a condominium in the expat part of town

#2 - Other nationality employer, living in a condominium (expat part preferred)

#3 - Other nationality, living in an HDB

#4 - Singaporean-Chinese employer, living anywhere, but HDBs are bottom preference compared to condos, and "landed-houses" have their own nuances (multiple maids, pecking orders therein etc.)

In our experience, with #4 the helpers are justly concerned about being over worked, under fed and denied sleep. We had an interview where the helper and we were shocked that the work hours expected were 5am to 12pm, with a single ill-willed break for lunch, and the prospective employer had just had a kid that the helper was to look after all day. The explicit interview comment was "when I return from work, you will give us dinner, then I need to work, so you must look after the child until she sleeps". My wife and I just stared gob-smacked at each other after that call, as this was contrary to all the rules we learnt in the training we were given by MoM for employing domestic helpers (the applicant has to pass an online test and undergo training) but apparently common among that cohort.

For those who do not know SG:

#1 Explicitly pointing out nationalities & race is not only accepted, it is Govt policy. They still follow the "one drop of blood" rule from the Secessionist South and this race classification is printed on the NRIC ID card. A single non-Chinese ancestor apparently puts you out of the Chinese category. Source: an uber-driver kid I spoke to who had a Chinese mother & Indian father. Officially, the 'races' are Chinese, Malay & Indian.

#2 I don't like using a sock-puppet, but do not wish to invite trouble for my circa-2007 account. I will answer questions for a day, but will delete the account after or forget the random password.

#3 I am (was?) a big fan of LKY and loved reading both his books. I am cognizant of many of the different internal pressures and divisions within the country and am not being judgmental, this is simply the way it is, and it is a LOT better than the neighbouring countries with their xenophobic and genocidal histories. COVID has hit the country hard, there is a resurgent nationalism and xenophobia within Singapore, and LKY's legacy is a ship steering through treacherous straits, with a mutiny on board, and several prospective captains fighting for the helm.
That is getting out of topic fast, but have you checked for blue/green color blindness? This one is not widely tested, come in several different forms, and the most usual "symptom" is that you disagree with everybody about colors being more blueish, greenish, purpleish and etc.

It also doesn't impact much one's life... unless you have to read resistor values every day.
And the English revolution happened before either of them.
Sorry - didn't get a chance to go through the documentation much yet... A problem we are looking to catch early in the development process is for things we don't want folks to do, even if they are technically correct. For example, dropping a column or altering the datatype/nullability in such a way that the table goes into reorg pending. I know we can write our own regex to look for that specific syntax, but I've not yet found a tool with those kinds of rules either build out already, or easy to add/maintain.
The laws of many former British colonies are, unsurprisingly, copypasta of British law from the ~19-20th centuries. The homosexuality law is a case in point. The UK itself has moved on in some areas.

I’m fluent in English (though as an American so British folk may disagree ;)). I wonder if I would meet the requirements for level 5. And I say that as someone who has published a couple of (very minor) articles in my technical field. Maybe I’m interpreting these requirements too harshly but this effectively sounds like what one does when one writes technical material for publication — and certainly above the level of sophistication of many op/ed pieces by widely syndicated authors.

I think this is pretty difficult and I’m not sure I could demonstrate this on a short-term test!

The report itself is linked as a reference within the article and I’m planning on taking a look when I have some time.

For what its worth, if you find anyone claiming to have settled some aspect of science, be weary of them. That gets into the realm of scientism [1] vs science. Science by its very nature is never really settled. The best we can do is look at the positive and negative outcomes of things and make a best effort to do the better things and constantly try to improve. This is one of the reasons that such generalizations Google are likely being paid or coerced to enforce are extremely dangerous. They set a settled precedence and law is much slower to evolve than science. The infamous food pyramid exemplifies this dark pattern and is one of the reasons that a large number of people in first world countries have either metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes or full blown type 2 diabetes and upwards of 70% of them are unaware of this until it is too late. Here is some discussion of the CDC reports [2]

> Here's a simple question that should be answerable in any approach to org design. What's the optimal span of control for management at each level in the organizational hierarchy? If you can't answer this question, you can't "design" an organization.

This seems so wrong to me. It is the equivalent of stating that unless you can specify the values of all the hyperparameters up front, you can't claim to 'design' a neural network architecture.

All you really need to iterate on (this aspect of) the design of an organization is a way to tell when the span of control is too large and when it is too small.
IBM has a similar timeline in its roadmap, going from 65 qubits in 2020 to 1,121 qubits in 2023. From their blog [1], it seems like scaling beyond 1,000 will be the real challenge.

What does UTXO have anything to do with scaling of the network?

Yeah, you might get more transactions per block without increasing the size too much, but to think that gives a significant advantage over account-based chains is just drinking the kool-aid.

Whenever you see someone selling you the idea that there will be a massively decentralized blockchain that can reach a high number of TPS without scaling off-chain, run in the other direction.
I’m confused how this is related to climate change?
Because so much of programming is written at a high level, most coders don’t know what the hell they are doing. Maybe the level of abstraction achieved makes it impossible to know.

Edit: One of the reasons is that because there are a very few people (probably) who do the low level stuff, there aren’t enough eyes on the code and a lot of vulnerabilities left in production.

Software companies are maybe incentivised to hire a lot of programmers who can start delivering on day 1. This wouldn’t be possible without the convenience afforded by high level languages.
Dogfooding: Why should you test your own products?
>If that answers your question.

It really doesn't, considering the proposed metric was "perspective of people left in your wake" and not "ratings from colleagues, as related by you." A hypothetical aimed less at considering what people think of you and more of what people think of themselves after having encountered you, it's a matter of who is being centered in such a meditation.

You sound like a great self-marketer. What I've learned is that great self-marketers are fun to be around and work with as long as the reality distortion field is up; however, the risk one takes is in someday finding oneself outside the field, which is a life-altering and frequently psyche-shattering experience. The do-er generally does not care, if they even notice at all; convinced of the virtuousness of their ethos, they're too busy "doing." (Though, to be frank, there is some schadenfreude-tinged consolation in that that often includes "doing" themselves into legal or ethical trouble, or a divorce.)

I'm sorry if that's harsh. I've seen careers destroyed and dreams deferred by people who speak like you speak. Maybe you're different.
At least in my opinion for this on HN, you get downvoted very quickly on HN to have such an opinion.

I work for FAANG. I generally dont comment on HN but recently I read every thread about FAANG to have a thread that read like you should be ashamed to work there. I replied, Even before i worked there, I used their products to keep in touch woth my family/friends, at a startup I worked at we used open source tech from these companies, I also have always benefited from owning the stock in my retirement account via index funds. So why is it that working for the company is not ok but being a consumer, investor etc ok.
And also asked if there's an acceptable list of companies to work at without moral judgements. Pointed out that people have strong feelings about big tech, big pharma, big oil etc etc.
As you'd imagine, I was downvoted pretty soon and you realize trying to convince a stranger on the internet is pointless and gains you nothing.
I hate to break it to you, but 200k/yr is in the top 4% of earners in America. That's not "middle class" by any stretch of the imagination.

That's actually the process I use right now. The problem is that it relies upon an old laptop and several usb keys for backup. It's much easier to backup 24 words on a sheet of paper than a full gpg key.

Plus, those 24 words can also recover your u2f keys, crypto wallets, etc. The 24 word backup is something crypto has gotten right that I wish private key setups would replicate.
