The VC cares about their portfolio, so if removing the CEO gives gains elsewhere in their portfolio, then their financial incentive can be against the startup. Edit: also the financial incentives of the most influential board member might not be aligned with the company valuation.

Or the “nobody gets fired for buying IBM” theory where it is better to put in a known respected CEO (John Sculley), because fault can be blamed on the founder and LPs will believe the future VC spin.

Usually the startup is one of the failing investments to consider changing CEOs, and I suspect that there are a lot of other human motivations that come into it.

You could do a community purchase with your neighbors. Where I'm from people even register officially as cooperatives in order to buy stuff at bulk with proper accounting. Now some people who are super poor might also have horrible social skills, but that is already a compounding issue and moves goal posts.
I usually am bashing Go :D, but I am not this time.

I am saying this blog author is confused on what the runtimes are capable of. I don't mean to say ref out and in are good language ergonomics or whatever, but simply that they show the compilation target is capable of expressing thing these things.

The only thing I know of that the go runtime can do that these others can't is "interior pointers", i.e. pointers to a field of a larger object. You can always just copy the field into a new box, but that breaks mutation semantics. Java gets away with this precisely because most fields are themselves boxed...bu that's exactly the no-control-over-locality problem we're trying to solve.

Probably because they're cheap food calories and nutrition wise.

But you definitely need a lot of extra shit to make them taste good, and especially taste different every now and then.

Beans can be baked, fried, boiled, turned into paste. But they'll taste 10x better with at least mayo and ketchup, and rather lots of it.

At the end of the day, a frozen pizza or a discount big burger is only 30 cent more if you eat it throughout the day, and it tastes good.

30 cents is something you can find on the ground and few will bother picking up. That's how poor the poor are in "developed countries".

In Germany, people rifling through trash for bottles/cans is a common sight, and many would think "you can do much better than 25 cent per 5-10 minutes".

But no, that's how poor the poor are. And 90% of people on this site are out of touch with that reality.
Start working it out at your grocery store. It's not as easy as it looks.

I'm not saying it is impossible, far from it, but you do have to be conscious of every single purchase. That head of broccoli is $2 this week? Maybe not in the budget. Apples are up to $1/each again, those are right out. These aren't crazy organic prices either, this is regular produce and store brands. This goes double if you're trying to eat a healthy balanced diet and not going for a college kid ramen diet.

Even worse with a budget so small it is hard to take advantage of buying in bulk to save money. Buy a 50lb sack of potatoes and you can't afford to each much of anything else for the week. Buying flour to make bread is a great cost saver when you are buying in 40lb bags, but not so great in the 5lb bags with the markup.
I miss advertising like this... where it actually talks about the product and why you need it instead of blowing emotional smoke up your ass
I’d like to know the answer of where it came from and I’m open to possibility of it being a lab leak. But actually knowing how it happened is basically irrelevant to the planning we need to do for the next one. There will be future viruses, they could come from many different sources, we need to be prepared irrespective of the source.
Cloudflare Workers have their own additional compelling value prop in operating on the edge. But I think something like this could offer a lot of value for a different use case:

In building complex SaaS apps, there's usually a constant flow of customer requests for custom features. Scripting, if managed very carefully [0], can provide an outlet for that and also allow people to glue together different features. AWS pushes people towards Lambda for customizing/gluing different AWS services.

A product could use AWS Lambda for its own scripting/glue, but that may end up being a little bit too free-form and depending on the use case Lambda cold start times may be unacceptable. So something like Blueboat could eventually be useful for running untrusted code to power customization of SaaS apps. This is especially the case if your service isn't marketed toward developers who can easily run their own Lambdas.

[0] Opening your app to scripting automatically exposes a huge API surface area which you'll likely have to support for a long time.
It's used throughout the comments and the topic generally. I don't call it out (for meaning a state with borders aligned with an ethnicity) because I get the point being made.

As for sponsorship, states sponsor their industries by providing labor trained at public expense, promoting them abroad through trade agreements, access to trade representation etc. so there is the technical definition of sponsorship met.

The revolving door between Unit 8200 and surveillance startups is documented as is Israel's courting of KSA and the UAE with access to intelligence sharing and capabilities as a bargaining chip. And why wouldn't they? It's good for the state and its industry. Just sucks for everyone else.

The definition of sponsorship doesn't matter when it is met in every sense of the word.
As well as the English Wheel already mentioned several times, the profession of "Panel Beater" is quite literal. The panels are beaten into rough shape with various shaped-headed hammers, and then smoothed out with flat tools that resemble spatulas. It makes one hell of a din and takes a long time.

There are some luxury motor car brands that make a point of still using the panel beating (aka panel patting) techniques for their production. It adds months to the production time of highly skilled, and thus very expensive, panel beaters... but that's the price of oppulence.
Your point boils down to "but it will be illegal." The point you're responding to that you missed was "it doesn't matter if it is illegal, people will do it." All of those are just examples of ways to avoid getting caught. They're not solutions to it being illegal, they're solutions to getting caught.
This gets repeated a lot around here but is far from the truth. Drugs are still traded, and so are other "illegal" items. And trading drugs is quite risky comparing to trading crypto (especially fully decentralized).

> usefulness of cryptocurrency is going to be considerably constrained

Sure, but you are missing why 3rd worlds like China, India and Morocco are trying to restrict crypto. They are worried about capital outflows. It's not a surprise most of these countries already have rigid capital controls. People who have decided they want to "outflow" their capital are not really worried about government restrictions.

fwiw, PostgreSQL has a built-in mechanism for filtering rows based on authorization rules: row-level security [0].

This can simplify your data-access layers quite a lot and pushes you towards better security practices like limiting the scope of permissions granted to your applications' role.

> The part where the efficiency is radically better than competing parts has everything to do with it being an integrated SoC.

What makes you think that? The CPU is about the same speed as other CPUs, the GPU is about the same speed as other GPUs, and it uses less power in no small part because it's the first thing to use TSMC 5nm.

Being an SoC allows you to save a certain amount of overlap, e.g. you don't need separate memory controllers for the CPU and GPU, but none of that stuff uses a significant amount of power.

> If you don't care about performance or battery life or weight there are plenty of Windows options available.

It's not matter of not caring. You can get PC laptops with similar performance and similar weight and 10 hours of battery life instead of 16. Ten hours is not exactly oppressive. If you really, really need sixteen, you can trade it against weight or performance at your option -- it's not necessary to do both.

Or you could wait a few months for PC laptops on TSMC 5nm which will have better power efficiency.

I watched the demo and the guy kept saying if this was `form` (meaning lowercase), it would still work, which is misleading.

Honestly I don't see anything exciting about "supporting" form method because that's such a broken and limited way of doing UI. The assumption that every time you submit a form, it results in a request, or that the request is exactly what you put in the form, is false. Just because something exists in html does not mean it's the right way to do thing.
When you own property in real life the record of ownership is maintained by the city/state/country.

There's no reason why the ownership in digital space has to be on a decentralized blockchain, you can also record it centrally (as shown by trusted entities like VISA etc).
Were the Pyramids Power Plants? (2019)
If you cannot use it for anything, and maybe it's illegal to even own it, why acquire it in the first place? It is demand that decreases. Supply that goes down simply to match lower demand does not necessarily outpace it and produce an overall price increase.

The difference between this and something like the 1920s alcohol black market in the US is exactly the point that people are raising when they talk about cryptocurrency lacking fundamental value. Alcohol has fundamental value (it is a drug with some effects that have proven to be valuable to many humans for thousands of years), but a currency does not have any value in isolation. People didn't stop wanting alcohol when it was banned, but they will stop wanting a currency if it is banned. It will not have a similar "constrained supply driving up the prices" effect to black market alcohol, because alcohol's demand never wavered but demand for cryptocurrencies will. It is not irrational to buy black market alcohol that you can drink or sell, but it is irrational to buy black market currency that you can neither drink nor sell.

This is all made generally moot if India is the only place to ban it, because they won't make a huge dent in the global market.
There were a few options. Napster for one. It's just the reason we don't remember is because we all installed Winamp and forgot about the rest. I spent more time looking for skins for Winamp that I did a replacement for it.

The problem with literal conspiracies is that the probability of public disclosure increases exponentially with the number of people who are "in" on the conspiracy. This is why a priori one typically assigns low likelihood to them (especially if they require a large number of conspirators).
> the obvious answer is that society [ ... ]

Nobody could even get society to do basic pandemic stuff like wear masks or take vaccines. How would they ever coordinate "build more hospitals and train more nurses" ?

Also, what is this "society" you speak of? There are very very few hospital facilities in the USA built as public institutions, or even with (much) public funding. That's now how things work in capitalism.
All of the people objecting to your comment seem to believe that the poor have no access to credit. Obviously, they do, often to a dangerous extent. And obviously, a wise use of the same credit that gets plastic trash at Walmart could get bulk food. But there are people (and not just "the poor") who simply don't plan ahead, ever, and sure don't plan ahead something that will require very bland-sounding food prep, week after week after week.
Two major issues with this;

1) I'm not familiar with tax laws in India (or Brazil) but in many places this would trigger gift taxes, imposing a large financial overhead to this transaction.

I don't see how Aussies expect to live on the least densely populated continent right next to the most densely populated continent much longer. The only question is on whose terms we reclaim arable land and begin the process of populating currently unpopulated regions. I reckon the average population density of Japan is a pretty good target, and that's what I'm basing the 500m figure on.

My point is that people assume we can turn Mars, an entire arid planet with no water, into a habitable place but that we can't turn deserts on earth into habitable, arable land.
That age group is too wide to make a meaningful comparison without standardising for age. Less than 10% of under-18s and less than 60% in the 18-24 age group have been fully vaccinated, whereas it's more than 80% for the 55-59 group.

The unvaccinated population in that age group is significantly younger than the vaccinated population. As you would expect, older people tend to die more often.

This is also mentioned in a footnote in the ONS data (and this is why they tend to focus on age-standardised figures).
Well cared for FCA products (and several other makes) are rare because they offer permissive financing and tons of incentives and intentionally design to keep low MSRPs. This results in lots of of people of more modest means owning them initially. That is a recipe for hard miles and minimal maintenance.

Your average Chrysler 300 is likely to have far more wear on the bump stops and in the back seats and trunk and far fewer scheduled maintenance items done than a 4Runner or some other car that has high class first owners.

So it's testable, but only if we overthrow the CCP, make China a functional democracy, change Chinese culture to encourage openness, seize the records before they destroy them (which them might already have) and if we can't find those records or they say nothing incriminating, we accept tthat they're innocent because abcence of evidence is evidence of abcense?

The player who plays multiple times ("iterated game") has more of an incentive to play fair. That's basic game theory. If you only play once, noone can "punish" you in the next game if you cheat.
