Good questions…

Scenario 1 is $300mm pre, $700mm in investment, $1bln post. If there’s are strong preference rights, you need a multi billion dollar exit for employees to get anything.

PE vs VC isn’t binary, it’s a spectrum. VC firms generally don’t care about so-so outcomes. So they give up downside protection for upside. (They give up preferences to get a higher share of the company, which reduces valuation)

On the flip side, PE firms are trying to make as return on every investment. So they’re ok with crazy high valuations as long as they get liquidity preferences. Which means in so-so exits they get most of the money.
The fact that Apple doesn’t allow (non-Apple) pre-loaded bloatware on iPhones is probably the number one reason I’ll never switch back to Android.
Your sentiment is probably why they don’t need to list. Plenty of more easily managed private investors available
We are not past the crisis. Unlike most financial crises, the underlying crisis is still ongoing 18+ months pasts the start
How do you read that comment and conclude that Australia was the instigator? Do you really believe that China's claims to the South China Sea are legitimate?
I don’t think it’s the hospital costs here. There’s a very strange ideological war going on about a virus with plenty of (dis)information online telling people that vaccines aren’t safe or otherwise bad, and the government is purposefully hiding these “miracle” drugs from people. There’s no shortage of finding advice for taking it prophylactically, for example. It’s HCQ 2.0.
I almost never see ads either. Ad blocker on Firefox, and not watching regular TV.

When I sometimes come across ads anyway, they seem like children stories or cartoons...
Consider yourself very lucky you have never been to a prison (or jail) in New York. I assure you the cells look nothing like this.

He can't, because it's total bullshit propaganda.
> And yes, they probably also don't want people to keep hacking online video games, which is why Riot uses TPM attestation as an additional security measure to preventing people banned for hacking from evading bans in Valorant[3].

on most of my gaming boards you buy the TPM and plug it into the board like you would a USB connector

total cost: ~$15 (ignoring currently craziness)

if I'm a wallhacker/aimbotter how would this stop me?
Sounds like this does the same thing as Blackbird
I think the overall workforce participation rate paints the reality much better than unemployment numbers. The drop was the sharpest in the entire dataset going back to 1950 and while a portion of jobs have returned the possibility we may not see workforce participation return to pre COVID levels within the next 2-3 years is a definite possibility.

> For perspective, in June, we were short by about 7.1 million jobs compared with the pre-pandemic level. This analysis suggests that this gap will only close about half by June 2022.

Not on topic but can I just say fuck Reddit for the way they purposely hobble the mobile experience on web? No I won’t install your shitty app Reddit. Ever. I might have considered it before but it’s personal now.
Same. Couldn’t view the link and won’t be installing an app I have no intention of using.
Yeah, just like Linux but with added spyware!
Absolutely fucking disgusting. Something needs to be done to these greedy psychopathic fucks. I don't know what that would be, but something absolutely needs to be done.
Risk/reward here is absurd. This has never been about the safety of the children.
More accurate to they have no case, with or without his support.
> simply not allowing me to opt-out ...

But let's note that this is not the case here. You can still opt out. If they are just resetting your old settings silently, however, then this is not a nice move and it will annoy exactly the people that care.
Link please? I run Windows for work, which includes connecting to industrial networks with no Internet connectivity. If this happens, it's going to be a nightmare.
I've rapidly deleted comments, myself. Usually because they're snarky or otherwise counterproductive. I saw that comment too, but wouldn't have responded. Better to downvote and move on... among other things, that allows folks to delete comments that don't stand a second read.

I've recently been really digging in on China, and the more I read / learn, the less threatening (not evil, the CCP is certainly plenty evil) I perceive them.

A starter on this is the three part polymatter series.

1) China has a monster of a demographics problem that they are clearly lying about with census data:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTbILK0fxDY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmZWIwKdXC4

2) It's pretty well established at this point that Chinese property markets have serious issues which threaten systemic issues:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgVXRtq5EIg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbMsS4u5EY

3) Their resource situation, especially water issues are serious:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRUc4gTO-PE&t=918s

4) They have terrible Geography from a military perspective and are not nearly as militarily strong as they project

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNaIKatux1E

5) And the biggest one. Chinese citizens are increasingly not prosperous enough to be ok with it. Also the gender imbalance is so severe that there are guaranteed to be 10s of millions of angry single men over the next decades, almost certain to increase social discord.

They have also seriously mishandled their relationship with Australia who they really needed which was just long term cemented with the AUUKUS alliance.

Another interesting channel which I found because she was talking about evergrande default over three years ago:

I think over the next 30 years, the US tripping over it's own feet is a bigger risk than anything China related
And, contrary to their name, are not good with wood. Plus they attract woodpeckers. Carpenter bees at least make attractive, perfectly round holes. The woodpeckers who follow are not quite as neat.

GP is being grossly off-topic and comparing bumblebees to white people, repeating the trope that "diversity" is a liberal agenda toward extinction of white people.
Regarding the “an PhD” note, I’m finding other phrasing that makes me think the writers were not native English speakers. It’s a French organization after all, so I would expect a few errors in their English. They're not significant.
I'm quite a pessimist otherwise, but I don't think my comment really reflects that. I just reported that as a human being, I'm tired of, and fed up with fighting a system that disrespects me, belittles me, overrides my decisions.

For the longest time I felt that I have the upper hand. That I could install a software for my every need, limit this, change that, bend the whole system to my will. But the realization grew on me, that me and the system are wanting two very different things. And whatever I do, I won't win. At most, we can be engaged in a cat-and-mouse game, as long as I'm up for fighting for it. If I'm not, then my cause is lost.

With this realization, I felt betrayed by the entity I otherwise liked very much. And this is the feeling I wanted to convey with my previous comment.
Assange said if he was given stuff to leak about Trump and was able to verify it the same way he verifies anything, he would release it. There's no reason not to, it's not like Assange is the only person in the world capable of releasing stuff and performing journalism. The idea that he covered up Trump leaks is ridiculous - the leaker would just go to someone else and it'd get out regardless. This is proven by the many many Trump leaks that did get out to mainstream media.

More of a cutting edge CAD than a breakthrough CAD then?
Is this type of comment helpfully, generally? Ancedotes are typically ignores because they don't show the full picture. If we have verifiable evidence of a staggering decline in population of a given species, "yeah well I've seen plenty of 'em!" doesn't seem particularly useful - to the larger discussion, toward any sort of objective "truth," or really... anything.
Associating the demographic trend discussion with white people only is a little reductive, because Hispanic fertility rates are below replacement, black fertility rates are about the same, native American fertility rates are almost exactly the same, and Asian American fertility rates are even lower.

Apparently this chart thinks that we will all be Native Pacific Islanders in the fullness of time. :O

(Obviously, don't let the sarcasm be lost on you, these trends will change as circumstances change.)

I have also read about small tribes and languages that are slowly going extinct.
Makes sense. Broadcast is a shell of what it was in viewership. Interestingly it seems Republicans might be the ones pushing government intervention on those new platforms (FB) since they feel censored.

We've known what we're doing to all types of bees for a long time. Here's a paper from 01999 talking about pesticides and their toxicity to bees:

https://ucanr.edu/sites/uccemerced/files/40411.pdf

There are many articles that have found viral audiences throughout the 02000s about how other bee species are on extinction spirals because of the American agriculture industry's lack of regulation. This happening to the bumblebee is not a real surprise and we've definitely seen it coming within the window to act.

Nor even spread to a neighbor of the same height, but that’s ok, is just an idea.
Hah, this is something I've done when trying getting data from a government agency that can't run or write code themselves. It's usually in some awkward meta-adversarial context and they tend to be fearful of macros and such, but it's possible to get around that fear by writing everything in excel functions.

Sometimes those damn excel sheets take hours and hours to make even though it would otherwise take me less than a minute to write in SQL or unix. But it pays off every time and pushes a clear message that they can do better.
Bitcoin would have remained the obscure crypto-economic experiment it was 10 years ago if it weren't for the rotten monetary system we have creating strong incentives to look for alternatives.
I'm holding some Bitcoin for quite a while now - in terms of value it has overtaken all my Fiat holdings - yet I would actually welcome if it became worthless. That's because I believe that it can become worthless only if we get back to a sound monetary system, something I'd value more than individually "winning" in an alternative scenario.
Sounds like your criticism should be directed at the beauty companies.
Most frustrating thing for me: in every other app, you hide the scrubber UI just by touching the touchpad. In Youtube, just touching does nothing, you have to press Menu/Back. That's bad enough, because I can't rely on muscle memory to hide the scrubber. I need to remember if I'm in YouTube or not, because if I hit Menu in any other app, it'll exit the video.

But the scrubber in YouTube also auto-hides after a few seconds. So it's happened a few times that I've reached to press Menu on the remote, and by the time I've done it, the scrubber auto-hid and I just exited out of the video. And of course, it lost my progress.

Really amateurish stuff.

edit: oh, and video titles get truncated after two lines, but there's no indicator that it's been truncated, no ellipsis, nothing -- and no way to view the full title. So if a title contains critical info, you're SOL.
Actually copyright and all IP legislation is ever more important for businesses as ever more of the wealth companies have is in IP. But this is legally delicate time, companies don't want to squeeze so hard it raises public ire, but sure as anything they don't want to let go of a drop of IP 'leverage' they don't have to.
Seems bad but I also have no context for this. She’s commented on the radar when it was created, so it’s not like it’s some hidden secret. I can see internally she also blacked out bits like the summary that are very strange edits as they’re not secrets at all… like indications that this is tagged literally as a joke task.

It easily could have been a joke rather than malicious… perhaps she had a ton of work to do and this radar was a tongue-in-cheek way of acknowledging that.

That’s the problem with these pieces of “proof” — when it’s one sided and completely devoid of commentary from the other people involved, it’s easy to spin a story one way or another.

In fact, looking at that and her editing choices only further confirms to me she’s grasping at straws and it’s not at all what it purports to be publicly.
How many people are thoughtful? Beyond themselves…
You are saying that sabre-rattling -- e.g. violating Taiwanese airspace, etc., is a tactic to keep people outside China calm?

I am confused about how you are getting from A to B there.

In terms of a hot shooting war with the West or coming to Taiwan's military aid, who knows if anyone would do it?

But in terms of seizing all of China's foreign reserve assets and imposing trade embargoes to destroy their economy? You bet people would do it. Without a second thought. It would instantly happen, and would be very bad news to an economy not self-sufficient in either food or energy, and with 40% of their GDP dependent on exports to the West.
I appreciate this aspect of the ShutUp10. By its existence and popularity, it spreads the message that there is such a thing as privacy, and that it's important.
I don't think they want recipe tips, they're just highlighting there's a lot of produce missing from the shelves
It's healthy suspicion, more than a suspicion, actually when you read this article and others.

Of course if it's a direct quotation then quotation marks are appropriate, but then it becomes something else when a term is always between quotation marks throughout the article. For instance:

"Peaceful "reunification" best meets the overall interests of the Taiwanese people, but China will protect its sovereignty and unity, he added."

Why is 'reunification' quoted there?

Since you mention the BBC, I've noticed that they now always write "democratic Taiwan" instead of just "Taiwan"...
Not as much as you think, most people regard the "Sigma" thing as so stupid that its become a meme that ppl reference ironically. Like if u post a video of somebody doing something really stupid somebody might reply "sigma".
>I guess I don't really see the moral angle here, in one direction or the other.

You're only looking from one angle though. Try looking at it from Assange's perspective as GP suggested:

>Whereas I believe the GP was making a _moral_ argument, that Assange deserves it because he leaked US secrets.
If I may bring some light to the situation, culinarily it's hard to be mad at that!
You needed a unix, so you tried WSL? You would have been much better served by Linux.
While I agree with you wholeheartedly, these sorts of comments are discouraged by HN guidelines.
> If the country views its laws as right, it seems to me it ought to attempt to see those laws enforced as widely as possible.

Suppose I view my diet and exercise regimen as right - should I try to impose (not just suggest) it on others? A country can view both its own laws, and the sovereignty of other countries, as just.

Or look at it this way: Democratic countries tend to think highly of democracy. Higher than any single law resulting from democracy. By imposing your laws on the people of a different country, you are robbing them of that same democracy you so cherish. Would you give up democratic control of your government, if it resulted in passing a couple of laws you liked?

(For certain extreme examples, such as when that country is engaging in genocide or extreme human rights abuses, I would answer yes. But nothing in this case even approaches such severity.)
"preventing people banned for hacking"

Preventing a piece of hardware, regardless who is using it, and not preventing the cheater on any other hardware.

It's a completely invalid idea and should not be defended or excused.
I was a bit disappointed when I tried using a package in WSL and found that CUDA wasn't supported.

It wasn't entirely clear from from the article, but I hope these updates fix that.
Damn, you’re making me think about all this consolidation.
I am lawyer and a writer (mostly unedited), a math fanboy --and sort a script-kiddie. English' not my native language. There's no other site in the entire net most interesting than that. True is that 80% of the posts I can't follow: there are too technical for me. But the rest that I can read, change, in no time, the way I seeing things and doing things. You guys are amazing, even for a total newbie uneducated reader. Like if you have a link in your front-page it's mostly the true for me.

I also enjoy reading about topics I can barely understand. But now in the office we are trying to use git for working together, not only our overleaf's local installing.

Tell me to lurk moar. I am considering myself the last of your brother. And even if I can't improve my tech knowledge, and, then, with the time my 80% becomes 90%... I'm very happy for this site to exists.

And I'm 45 years old.
While it can run the same extensions, some have to be requested to be added to the code-oss repository, as there are some things that I noticed aren't there, and the path recommended to those in this situation is to ask for them to be added on an as-desired basis.

Why is all the recent attention focused solely on Instagram, Facebook, and "protecting teen girls"? How about the fact that Tinder makes dating nearly impossible for the average male?
I see where you're going with this but it could also be argued that those magazines impacted far fewer people to a far lesser degree.
Here in Australia states have been been putting portable air filters in schools, age care homes and so on.

Victoria for example ordered 51,000 filters recently to place across all schools.
No, it's really not. It's just the statement of a simple fact, that the economy is a complex technical thing, and does not follow simple moral heuristics. Basically the point that Keynes was trying to make when he was debating that the health of the economy was more important than the "sin" of abandoning the gold standard.

It does not matter whether you like it or don't like it, it's reality, and denying reality is foolish. Foolishness is what causes most of the bad outcomes we see in the world, including the bleak lives of so many who were victims of good intentions which I gave examples of in my post.

When people convince themselves that it's unfair to make unemployed people leave their apartments and are then shocked, shocked, that rental rates go up, that is foolishness. When people convince themselves that everyone should go to college, and are shocked, shocked that we have an army of unskilled workers, it is again foolishness. When people decide that advanced placement is unfair because the rich benefit and are then shocked, shocked that the rich end up benefiting even more as only private schools have advanced placement, then this is even more foolishness.

But some people insist on living a world where society makes foolish choices rather than wise choices. Fortunately societies with too many such people don't last very long.
TikTok came after Facebook and wouldn't have been able to if we had done something about this earlier.
Fun to look at these!

I was also happy to find old issues of Computer Language Magazine [1] which I used to love back in those days even though many of the articles were way beyond me.

They also have Nibble Magazine for Apple ][ Enthusiasts [2] with playable versions of their code diskettes! The magazine images are all in monochrome though as they were extracted from microfilm, and one needs to sign up and borrow the magazine to see the full contents. It's worth supporting the Internet Archive to do so though.

I remember typing in the machine code listings to get some software to run, and proofing long printouts on the bus ride to and from school when they didn't work! Developing fundamental development skills!

BBC has shifted from being neutral in the recent years, and there are demands to stop public funding of BBC.

No, BBC today is a bad example. BBC 50 years ago, I don't know.
Given Elon’s history with the SEC, I wouldn’t expect that going public is high on his list of priorities.
I dont see on what else to comment, as I, as well as many other commenters, are unable to read the content of the link.
It's true that platforms and advertisers can build early brand recognition on young people, but it was always there, it used to be tv mainly,but now with mobile devices, how can this possibly be controlled or regulated?

If I was your vice emperor, I would agree btw.
Lets break it down who is missing from employment.

- Almost million died due to Covid.
- A lot of olders or those who can retire, left the workforce
- Some took flexible jobs - like uber/lift or food delivery or groceries or amazon delivery
- Legal immigration is closed for year and half. That is almost 2 million working individuals
- Few people that I know who got covid, and are in 40s & 50s don't feel that they are recovered 100%. After 10 months, my manager can't smell as she used to.
- People like my wife who don't need to work are staying home.

I am sure there are few other groups that I don't know about. That is a lot of people missing from the workforce and won't show up in unemployment data.
A few years ago I ran across a "Founder Accord" by a small NYC law firm; I haven't looked at it in any detail so I can't say whether it covers the requisite issues. [0]

In case it helps, there are other contract resources listed on a Web page that I use for a Startup Law 101 talk I've been giving for a number of years at business schools, entrepreneur meet-ups, etc. [1]
