The fact that Valve ships the Steam Deck with a read only root managed by ostree and user apps installable via Flatpak to me shows the direction of future Linux desktop, and I welcome it wholeheartedly. I am done with distro managed packages for desktop apps, custom patches and the impossibility to ship closed source software on Linux because it's a mess.

Flatpak in my book rocks, and it's ahead of macOS DMG files and light years ahead of the Windows .exe downloaded from the Internet strategy.

That is really cool! It looks like the gameboy board is used only for IO, and everything else goes on in the Pi in the cartridge?

I think you'd seriously miss having four buttons on the face in the console though, I don't know if there are many PlayStation games that would be very playable with only X and O and no square or triangle.
I highly recommend anyone who doesn't know anything about how the IMF interacts with poor countries to watch this documentary called "Life and Debt"[0] which is about how the IMF basically destroyed Jamaica's economy.

Basically, long story short, the IMF will immediately tell a country that they cannot bolster their local companies with tariffs or other legal means, meaning that local food industries (in the example of Jamaica) and numerous other sorts of local businesses immediately go bankrupt due to competition, and joblessness soars.

So the IMF will immediately take advantage of a country and kill basically any law that they have to try and bolster their local economy, in the need for the 'greater good'. Gorramn Tau.

>"I get bothered by the use of the term "nation-state" in this context.

And I thought I was pedantic. "

I don't think I'm being pedantic, it seems like people use the word 'sponsor' in these contexts to exaggerate and vilify.

Nobody seems to have used the word 'nation-state' in this post; what made you think of it?
Installing the tools you prefer is not always an option, but I agree, ripgrep is great.
Agreed, there is a channel for private entities to resolve matters of the state and that is via lobbying the executive or the legislative. Going after Israel's outsourced intelligence technology research group via the judiciary branch risks Apple being caught in the political crossfire. Apple at the end of the day is not Blackwater, they do not have any form of influence over force if things really hits the fan. Israel isn't a South American banana republic that can be easily overthrown by private corporations either. To put it in perspective, how would you react if (hypothetically) Lockheed Martin gets sued by Yandex if one of their missiles blew up a self driving car being tested in some far flung Central Asian state? Do you expect Lockheed Martin to be bound by contractual laws in the city of Moscow and for the matter to be settled via civilian lawsuit or arbitration?
> I mean, collectively as humans we stand to benefit from knowing what happened so we can make more informed cost benefit decisions in the future about conducting risky research (if that's what happened).

I really don't think so. Knowing what actually happened makes no difference. What is important is knowing what problems exist and what can possibly happen as a consequence of them.
If firing the CEO is a (the?) major degree of freedom for investors/boards, why are these events not recorded on crunchbase? That would seem to be a natural addition. I'd also like to see events related to dilution using valuation and any other major DoF that a board might have.

Bitwarden is my goto. If you're the selfhosting type bitwarden_rs (now vaultwarden) is free and easy to setup. If not BW's cloud hosting is also fine. Vaults work offline just fine, apps on every major platform, biometric unlock if you care about such things, and autofill on browsers/ios/android. And they have a snazzy officially supported CLI tool.

This one is hilarious, the design caught my eye with its unique shape and the mandatory pro-Mormon proclamation (which at first I thought was a joke about the shape of the hands on the keyboard being prayer-like) until the creator told me to repent my sins.
That's such a diffuse benefit that you'd need to compare it to other things that benefit literally everyone alive - for example, the environment which sustains our existence - to determine how effective a motivator that is.

This sits so unwell with me, gives such limitless tyrannical & dictatorial control to a company.

> As much as people might look at this and think Apple is being heavy-handed, it comes down to the fact that iCloud, iOS, and the App Store are their IP and they can (within legal limits) set whatever terms they please.

Agreed. That's exactly what it seems like. And that sounds like immoral, unjustifiable, sickening hell. That Apple gets to hold all the cards, no one else on the planet gets any say in how a device might be used.

It seems to me like the law is immoral. The law is heavy handed, an idiot, and wrong. And it seems like Apple is a user/abuser of unjust power which it does not have any moral or ethical right to wield.

> Especially for these sorts of arrangements, it seems like a problem to me if the platform/IP owner doesn't have absolute, final discretion over what happens.

This sounds like a nightmare hell world to me. It contravenes the idea that any of us can ever be owners of anything. This sounds like the logic that says that only Tesla can repair Tesla cars, the logic that says only John Deere can repair John Deere tractors. This is an anti-human world, this is a bad world, this is immoral, this is wrong, this destroys & rots away at humanity as a can-do toolmaker, as an improver of the world about them. It consigns power away to fragile, remote, limited corporations. That is not a world I ever want to let happen to us. I tend towards aethism/agnosticism, but if there is a god, this flies against what graces the gods have given us to let ourselves be constrained so. It is unnatural & against the spirit of the human enterprise.

I have no love for NSO Group. It feels great seeing such a group of shady, underhanded, anti-democratic punks get served. But this is absolutely going to be yet another move in the ongoing shift towards top-down combined technocratic/legal control. It's absolutely a demonstration of Apple wielding legal power to obstruct & defend that which it simply doesn't want to have to deal with, brushing aside something inconvenient. It's absolutely a battle over what terms of service mean & whether the world has any rights of their own. I for one am not cheering for Apple's victory in having their massive iron-clad armor further enhanced.
Are you implying that startup success in America requires exploitation of workers? I don't think most people would consider the management of early employees at successful startups to be "exploitative". Most of them are heavily incentivized.

There are specific issues with the worker models of Uber et al, but that's an orthogonal point to the general formation of startups.

Myself I ran into "problems" when it came to parental leave, parents in Sweden usually gets a combined 480 days of parental leave, of which about 360 are at 80% of your income levels.

Problem is that if you (like me) plan on bootstrapping something then you're not taking out salary during that period, so even if you paid a lot of money in taxes the year before you still get marked down as a zero-earner if you plan to take time off with your kids.

Luckily the Swedish govt realized that this hurts things in the long term so they actually relaxed the rules in this area so you can retain your previous income levels for 3 years if you want to take advantage of parental leave.

(Not entirely sure if they fixed this if you get sick though, regular employees that get sick can retain most of their income for a while but not entirely sure if these 3 years startup grace period applies when getting sick)

> SAN SALVADOR, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Most Salvadorans disagree with the government's decision to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, with many unaware of how to use the digital currency and distrustful of the project, a poll by the Central American University (UCA) showed on Thursday.

> At least 67.9% of 1,281 people surveyed said they disagree or strongly disagree with the use of bitcoin as a legal tender, said the poll by UCA, a Jesuit university based in El Salvador. Just over 32% of people said they agree on some level.

Seems the majority of people disagree with this action.

> And a large chunk of those protestors are countryside people paid by US funded NGOs.

That's a broad claim, of which I don't find any evidence. Do you have references here?
Fascinating!

Yes, and we are also pretty certain that the mechanism of action is the number of mRNA particles contained: 30 µg for Pfizer/Biontech vs 100 µg for Moderna.

As a result, Germany e.g. uses half-doses for Moderna and vaccinates under 30s exclusively with Biontech.

1. One day at a time. But in all seriousness, a good co-founder and team. Also, we started the company during COVID which I think made the VCs less worried a about a full remote situation.

2. US citizen but UK tax resident. So two income tax returns. It's a pain, but thankfully the tax treaty means one offsets the other and it works out in the end.

3. Personally want to live in London

Doing a root cause analysis is useful, because it provides you with information about certain modes of failure and their causes. Ignoring past failures, and using a 'tabula rasa' approach will deprive decision-makers of valuable information, and lead to repeating past errors.
Nit (maybe moot):

> 4) Apple incurred damages […] from expenses related to mitigating the hacking of their users.

This sounds like no one should be a security researcher for they risk paying companies to implement the security the company should have implemented anyway. Put another way, that also sounds like the corporate open source push, "We love open source because we don't have to support it, the community will!"

"4)" says the community will pay for/support security, just wait for the hack and make 'em clean it up. Mitigation costs shouldn't be a recoverable damage, they should be doubled and paid out to the victims...maybe that'll incentivise better security over dollar dollar bills y'all.

This all maybe moot because this was a B2B action and I'm thinking from a non-monied, single user/security researcher perspective. What if the company was a non-profit security research group? Perhaps this is what the 90day grace periods are for when dealing with responsible disclosure?

Anyhow, my ignorance must be showing at this point.
The editorialized title is linkbait, but the actual IMF page is an interesting read.

Only one small section of the page, Section 13, actually contains the sentence "Bitcoin should not be used as legal tender," but the sentence is conditioned on the country properly addressing the various risks to financial stability mentioned elsewhere in the page. It's unfair to quote only that one sentence, without providing any context.

Section 13 is in fact titled "Efforts to improve financial inclusion and raise growth are welcome, but risks arising from Bitcoin as a legal tender, the new payments ecosystem and trading in Bitcoin should be addressed."

ISO any articles/documents related to scaling access control, for example if you have 100_000 users and 90k of them have access to some resource, but 10k do not, and you can't use groups that your customer knows about. Obvious solutions are "where allowed_user_ids = ... big list" or "where disallowed_user_ids NE ... small list"; the latter not a solution as you can't optimize this query with a normal tree-like index.

I suppose you could use some sort of bloom filter, or create/maintain groups behind the scenes somehow, but haven't seen many articles cover this.
The big problem with this is that Dollar Stores generally don't have a produce section. Everything is in a box, bag, or can. This is not healthy. $40/week for a single person isn't an easy food budget, but I think could manage that at my grocery store. It's $5.71 per day for three meals. You really need to optimize for calories. Pasta, dried beans, potatoes, not much meat or dairy, even produce is a bit of a luxury. This is the kind of budget that puts those "just drink one less Starbucks coffee a day" comments into perspective. And forget about eating out, even a single fast food meal would blow your entire budget for the day. This becomes a very serious challenge if he's trying to feed a family of 4 on that budget.

It seems quite crazy that this hasn't happened earlier. It seems to me most VC rounds are usually used to mostly finance sales and marketing growth, which if they have a positive RoI should really be debt, as that's the whole point of it!

Equity funding to me should be used less for that and more for R&D and product development where the RoI is harder to calculate, or may not exist at all.
This deeply disappointed a lot of poor people. Not cute and not funny. Shame on them.

You could highlight all the research being conducted in future so more stakeholders can weigh in on the risks. You can raise the requirements for conducting such research, or in extreme cases prevent it from being done. The assumption that “nothing can be done” has to be the worst approach, given the multitude of alternatives. Simply trying increases the odds that improvements are found.

Something I wish I'd learned 23 years ago instead of 3 years ago :(
I can't speak for Europe, just for Canada, but I assume that a similar dynamic might exist. "Less upside" for successful founders due to taxes is frequently cited but I seriously doubt it. Instead, less risk appetite in the investment community is far more likely. Investors offer less money, with far more strings attached, and so founders move to the US to seek better investment terms. Taxes are a distant afterthought.
Wasn’t it a guestimation of 50/50 that relied on doctors not realizing treating people for covid who also had worms with steroids would cause the worms to go into hyper growth?

Great article but that last bit about assuming doctors in areas where worm infections are common don’t know they can’t treat the infected with steroids, seems a big stretch.
Depends on what they classify it as. The preview of the bill said "private coins" would be prohibited. On what grounds, they did not say.

There was a call to treat NFTs as securities. If something like that is done, then any illicit trade of securities would be considered illegal, if not money laundering.

Theres 3 kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics

CDC data is skewed from the beginning to bolster their agenda. E.g. They consider a person "unvaccinated" until 14 days after their 2nd shot so it lumps all deaths in-between as "unvaccinated covid deaths". Not to mention
the revolving door between the CDC and big pharma.

Also, the major argument against the vaccine is that there's potentially major side effects including death (which looks something like a heart attack probably caused by blood clotting.). This data conveniently only uses "Covid deaths", so it excludes all the extra post-vaccine deaths no one wants to admit. And if a vaccine-related death happens within 14 days, that death gets lumped into the "unvaccinated" death total.

Whenever there's meaningful data, they do everything in
their power to cover it up. I.e. the FDA refusing to release the vaccine paperwork they used to grant FDA approval because "they don't have the resources to process it all". But they had the resources required to read it to grant approval.
For the longest time I thought it was a winter coat store. It wasn't until I saw beach balls out front one day that I gave them a second look.
Your link also provides the likely answer when you scroll down to the comments:

> One reason not to draw too much of a conclusion is that 10 to 59 is a really, really broad age group, and the underlying death rate at the top of that group will be much higher than at the bottom.

> If the vaccination is also unevenly distributed in that group (and you would imagine the vaccination rate to be much lower among 10 year-olds than 59 year-olds) that would probably provide a sufficient explanation.

Actually, the board has to believe that the replacement CEO they find from the market, will generate better returns than the current CEO. So, it is not that the CEO has to be "the best", it has to be good enough so that if he is fired, the likelihood of the new one succeeding should be lower than with him.

Note that there should be quite many advantages for the current CEO to do the job well compared to some external guy. Typically it might take 2 years from a new CEO to learn the business, etc.

Boards don't fire on a whim, they genuinely have to believe that a replacement will do clearly better job - they don't want to go through all the hassle of finding a replacement just for fun.
