I've called TVTropes the great index of all human behavior before, so this seems somewhat like an honorific.

Everything is connected, so much behavior is cross-culturally human, and TVTropes in particular is a great uniter of plot, a collector of how wide & differently a common theme or plot can be created. It links together so many moving pictures, identifies underlying factors.

I haven't particular thought of Z as so all-encompassing, so unifying, before.
This is so dumb and is why it's hard to take these people seriously as experts.

Assuming not inside job, it's not that hard.

Split it up into tiny chunks, process those chunks with mixers. Then let it sit util people stop caring, which always happens.

Then peel off tiny chunks of thousands of dollars to non-US exchanges. the trail will be so old and obfuscated no one will care. Then do this with more exchanges and chunks.

It's not like you need $600 million at once. Peeling off $1 million a year is enough to live off. You don't need to launder all $600 million at once. This is why the media is so dumb..no shit no one is going to launder that much at once.

Hm, fair enough. It's the staggered and widely separated rows that are strange to me.

The photo I saw before was at an angle and I didn't see that some of those spots went 'nowhere'. Looking again at the top down photo/diagram linked above I do see that they're vias now.
Nobody seems to know about App Exposé, which you can trigger with ctrl+down. I also have it set for three finger swipe down. You can then use the arrow keys to move between windows if you don't want to use the mouse, and it includes minimized windows as well, which cmd+` does not.
Think of a monorepo (multiple go.mod files).

As opposed to what you’ve referenced: a single repository that contains a single go.mod.
Since it only works with iphones, no.
I've been on Mac for 10 years now and I still consider the way Windows handles windows vastly superior.

The fact that cmd-tabbing to a app will place all of its windows on top means that I might be forced to move a window with the mouse to see what's underneath it which I find infuriating. The fact that two windows belong to the same app is an arbitrary distinction to me. I group things by mental "projects", and I prefer to maintain my window z-order based on that.

I never liked using virtual desktops and I just downloaded altTab which I've read about in threads here, but it seems to flicker weirdly and it has already crached on me once within a 1/2 hour timespan so I don't foresee myself keeping it.
I’d suggest considering why you think scaling fast is a “startup” idea and not just a profitable business tactic.

In my case scaling fast meant bringing on 3-4 subs who could knock out a standardized set of deliverables that I created and trained them on. I did that within a year. I’m sure there are exceptions but I think most consultancies could do this.
Can you provide an example of where SC syntax and Elementary/JS syntax for the same thing differ in a significant way?
Never underestimate cats.
I'm going to tell you a short story. Have patience please.

I consider my industry to be Media. I wanted to be a Journalist(TM) when I grew up. Won a contest...went to a major paper in Boston as part of a group of "those that will one day be Woodward and Bernstein." Then Youtube happened. I pooh-poohed it because I couldn't wrap my head around why anyone, in my thoughts at the time, "would want to watch a bunch of amateurs do x."

Fast forward to today. I watch more YouTube than Netflix and Prime Video combined. These are the only two services we still pay for...we used to also have HBO and Acorn, but they are both one trick ponies and are not adding enough compelling content quickly enough. Also after HBO ruined ASOIF, they landed on my no-go list forevermore. Acorn is simply too expensive for what it offers. It might become for compelling if it were to expand to the Scandies...

I currently maintain a folder on my desktop (one of hundreds) called The Olsen Meter. And in the folder I save every article I come across about industry people-in this case finance industry folks-who I feel are making the same mistake I did all those years ago by pooh poohing crypto. The problems will get worked out...they always do. The energy issue is a sideshow. And mainly bandied about by those who (I feel) are reacting out of nervousness about the future and the unknowns. Crypto is constantly maligned because of the hacks and thefts, but the most stolen currency in the World is/was/always will be the US $100 bill. To the tune of Trillions. Crypto and is multi-billions have quite aways to go before it even comes close.

As to whether or not this will solve the micropayments problem, maybe not but I like the idea of it as a stopgap. Until someone builds something newer and better. And if it keeps journalists from selling their souls to corporations via ads, then the Devil I know and like will always be a better deal.

Last thing I'd like you to consider: How does Dr. Beverly Crusher pay for fabric on TNG in Episode 1? Now before you dismiss the question, realize that she has never been on this planet before, this is the first time they (the crew) have met the Bandi and she procures a whole bolt of beautiful fabric with one sentence? How does the vendor know whether or not she's good for it?
Rogan claims to have voted for Barack Obama twice. That's pretty typical for a moderate leftist. He gives his guests a chance to express a lot more nuance than you see in mainstream media channels. Most of the criticism comes from people who haven't actually listened to many episodes all the way through, and just rely on biased takes from critics or short quotes taken out of context. I also used to have a negative opinion until I played some whole episodes with interviews of really interesting people.
Its probably already worked into the hosting bill somehow anyway... There are numerous places to hide the cost in any CSP bill.

Even traditional host providers are raising their costs for the same mysterious reasons, although hardware costs are historically trending lower over time.
pip install takes a local path not just a url.

So long as `a` and `b` are both in the virtualenv (on the path somewhere) it doesn't matter where you got a from and you don't need to push your changes globally. If you start tweaking `a` it won't effect anybody outside the virtualenv either.
Did you read anything or are you just going to project your own bias on the discussion?

"It's banned in warfare" doesn't make it some egregious WMD. It's banned because all chem weapons are banned per the Geneva convention and adding particular exceptions is a dangerous path to go down. Every single basic trainee in the US Armed Forces is subjected to it and they all turn out just fine (or well, if they don't it's not because of the tear gas exposure). You're using the term as if it's some catch all that ends any and all conversation. Would you like to suggest an alternative to safely controlling dangerous crowds?

> They should disengage

The exact situation I laid out was protestors surrounding an officers vehicle and beating it trying gain access to do him bodily harm. Would you like to suggest how he can disengage? I'd love to hear any ideas you have because driving away is quite literally the safest option there. The alternative is to shoot the people trying to attack him. One most likely results in broken bones where the other most likely results in death. Here's an example in which people swarmed the car that showed up on screen and the officer had to run someone over to escape personal harm. Frankly if protestors surround a vehicle, don't move or clear the way when asked multiple times and given multiple warning, then they 100% deserve to be run over. That's their fault. Don't surround an occupied vehicle in a violent environment and expect nothing to happen.

I didn't say it was "clear cut brutality". I said it probably wasn't okay, but that it's more nuanced than people such as yourself would like to make it appear.

Are you going and holding every single software engineer that writes malware or privacy invading adware responsible? Oh no? Guess that makes you just as bad as them.

Edit: And I should add, nor have you provided evidence to the contrary. How many videos are there of police intentionally ramming into completely peaceful protestors? I'd wager there aren't very many. You're the one claiming that any potentially adverse action taken by a police officer is wrong despite any co-factors or context. Show me a video where the police are running someone over and, with all the context and surrounding information, it still looks absolutely unreasonable.

This is consistently what Glenn Greenwald has done and the smear campaign against him by the DNC and liberal establishment has taken him from a world famous Oscar and Pulitzer prize winning journalist to a pariah and supposed Russian right wing shill, kicked out of the organization he founded, The Intercept.

His beliefs and ideas are clearly left wing and he has remained consistent, but by doing what you suggest he has been effectively destroyed. It's really sad to see. And I agree with you, I think he did the right thing regardless of the consequences.

Quit. Then start what you want.

Should ending your employment be a big deal, perhaps better arrangements are possible.

You need to evaluate what is worth what.

Once you have done that, you then need to get them to work through the same questions.

Put them in a position where they get what they want / need for you, the difference being what that costs.

Compensation can take many forms, and greater work freedom is one of them you really want right now.

tl;dr: Seems like the folks at Stripe didn't do very good diligence and others followed them in.

I believe this really boils down to "Why did Stripe's investment arm value at $150M for an A they lead and then go on to co-lead a B at $500M?". Honestly, it mostly sounds like bad diligence by the folks at Stripe. The co-lead for the B was Addition One, a newish firm that also had invested in one of Stripe's latest rounds, so they may have just been co-investing with Stripe from a "oh yeah, we're all in on Stripe".

Edit: or looking at the timeline, perhaps Addition closed this investment in Fast in January 2021 to get in on Stripe's Series H in May 2021.
> We just have to accept that their covid zero policy actually worked for two years and their numbers were mostly accurate.

Why do we need to accept that? Common sense would point to the exact opposite.

Lagrange is really good, works on many platforms and supports all three "small internet" protocols (Gemini, Gopher, Finger).

Certs are free. What do you mean monthly subscription? Also why would secure transactions be necessary? Preventing third parties from injecting ads / mining scripts / phishing logins benefits all sites.
I'm as salty as the next person about the ending of the free custom-domain gmail service, but it did last for over 10 years, which is plenty of time to get double ROI for the time and setup investment of the free google solution, and then the replacement solution if / when google rug-pulls the "free" component.

The equation does change if there are value-adds that start getting offered and used which make it more difficult to transition elsewhere (with docs, gdrive etc. being examples of value-adds for the free custom-domain email offering).

What do you mean when you say "introducing" them? Apple's implementation of modifier keys on the keyboard were essentially released concurrently to that of IBM's (whose 1980's form factor is still the accepted standard for PC's with only a few changes), and it was ahead of Windows by several years.

Side note: I was using a 1984 IBM Model M keyboard as my daily driver (clackity clack!) when I moved from Windows to Mac about 18-months ago with the original release of the M1 Mac Mini. I had re-mapped F1 on that keyboard to function as the Windows key, but sadly found the lack of a dedicated super key on Mac to be too cumbersome, so the ol' trusty Model M is resting peacefully in my closet now. It's still in pretty good shape, although I've been meaning to take advantage of its time off to take it apart and give it a good cleaning...

My point above is that because of fire suppression, California's forests have grown denser than the long-term, sustainable average. California's forests were much less dense in the 1880s because fires were quite common - it is a "fire shaped landscape", the ecology evolved with fire.

If someone is attempting to make things even more dense, they simply will stoke fuel for more fire.

Why didn't those actual scientists bring this up when he, you know, got a Nobel Prize for that? Or are you arguing here that Nobel Prize is a joke, and people who give it are total idiots?
What you’re describing is simply person B not really listening, and if that’s true then it’s pointless to argue the point anyways. Person A is better off sticking with the compromise because it doesn’t cost him/her anything to do so, and hey maybe there’s a very slight chance person B clues in.

Basically sticking to good faith even when it’s not reciprocated is usually the best option, or just saving your energy by dropping the topic. The alternative is usually just ego stuff.
Venture valuations can be most simply understood as: potential exit value (reward) * probability of reaching that value (risk).

In this case the potential exit was big: owning checkout for the web is a multi-multi-$B business.

The risks, however, were also big. This was a highly competitive market, with lots of complicated technical and GTM problems to solve. But, investors seemed to believe in their vision + chutzpah + ability to execute, hence they discounted the risk and gave them a rich valuation.

As it turns out, the risks were very real! They successfully hired a big, seemingly-experienced team (something many companies struggle to do) but failed to make enough progress to justify their valuation, i.e., de-risk the business and demonstrate a higher probability of achieving a big exit to potential next-round investors. The product never worked well (actually 502 hard-crashed on launch day) and their team got bloated and slow. Their GTM strategy was fundamentally flawed (horrible CAC/LTV on small merchants) and the founder spent like a mad man. This wasn’t foreseen but perhaps should have been especially by the pros at Stripe

Fast lived a short, insane life and will quickly fade into obscurity versus the more infamous WeWork and Theranos implosions. But I think it’s a more relevant cautionary tale: Fast was backed by “proper” Valley institutions (Index, Stripe, etc.), was a pure software business, and from the outside had all the trappings of hypergrowth success. Lots to be learned by investors, employees, and founders here.
Thats a good, valid set of points
Ancient Greece was a diaspora all around the Mediterranean. Ancient Egyptians have little relationship to modern Egypt.

That said ancient Egyptians certainly had to solve lots of math problems and they likely came up with lots of similar solutions.

The problem is that $50M in sales is only about 500K units.

That's the consumer electronics Valley of Death. You have enough units to get all the downsides of volume but not enough units to get the discounts of volume.

Electronics volume discounts really don't kick in until about 1M units. So, it looks like Pebble stretched for the 1M mark, fell short, and died.

It's honestly hard to see what they should have done instead. Scaling organically in consumer electronics from 100K to 1M is just absolute murder.
As a note about the markets in Santa Fe, there are some volume producers of all sorts of goods, but it illegal to market something as made by Native Americans and have it be made overseas. It's the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990:

https://www.doi.gov/iacb/act

and they actually do prosecute it:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-nm/pr/owner-old-town-albuquerqu...

To be clear, not all art in Santa Fe is Native American, but a large amount of it is. And, yes, there's a large amount of junk being peddled as well that is absolutely imported. As a side note, there's a yearly Santa Fe Indian Market that's pretty fantastic and brings artists in from all over the place. None of that will be mass produced or imported and it is worth a visit.

Pebble was absolutely a success in the first few years. They failed to sustain the success. Apple and Samsung had entered the markets and invested orders of magnitude more funding than Pebble had.

Pebble probably could have limped on for another 5 years but ultimately their fate had been sealed and it was best to sell and leave on a high note than to go in to decline.
I love the gemini protocol. The spec is often quite easy to read, writing at least the fundamental things of a browser like the rendering (With a bit of cheating using GtkLabel and Pango markup) took less than a week. Only things like certificates were awful and I never got them entirely to work
Overall I think these are all fair points.

Still, I think that we have an obligation towards non-hard-core audio devs (whatever that actually means) to remind them that if you want to find gold you likely need a pickaxe, but if you want to turn over a field, you need a plough.

It's not important that everyone's efforts become successful businesses. What seems more important to me is two-fold:

1. the existence of suitable entry points for "non-hard-core audio devs"

2. if it isn't possible to provide those entry points using the same tools that the "hard-core audio devs" would use, to be sure that the "non-hard-core" folks understand that there is a difference and that there is a smooth migratory pathway between the two worlds.

On that front, Elementary looks fairly good, other than its fairly strong claims that this is a suitable technology for creating commercial audio plugins.

Let's be honest: the main thing that gets in the way for "old school" technologies these days is just compilation. Perry Cook's synthesis toolkit is a very old bundle of C++ modules that lets you do more or less the exact same thing that Elementary does. But being C++ means that there's a build step (which may generate errors). For people more familiar with interpreted languages like JS and its cousins, this appears to have become an almost insurmountable obstacle. If you can't just type it and run it, it's crap.

I think that's wrong, but I understand the appeal of "type and run" for people starting out on the path of "make the computer do what I want".
Imagine a crossing, where you have 8 of them. Always clacking, slow or fast, and slightly drifting apart in tempo, to meet into synchronicity again after a few minutes. I'd go insane. The birds are going insane too! Since years I hear them at all times of the night, never sleeping. Interestingly near that crossing.

Edit: With at all times of the night I mean when I walk or ride along there, which can be anything from 22:00 to 05:00.

Anytime there is birdsong, now matter how late or early. Even when no cars are there, in the extra silence between 02:00 and 03:30.

Awesome, glad to see other ACME clients using issuer fallback, like Caddy does!

Do you know if there are any plans to making the Google ACME CA usable without registration? Having to register for an account and using credentials is a huge barrier to entry for many less-technical users. Caddy is able to use LE and ZeroSSL because they both don't _require_ accounts (ZeroSSL recommends it, partially as an upsell, but it's not necessary).

The more no-registration CAs exist, the more resilient ACME clients can be.

There is actually very little in common with Sweden and Finland. Sweden is very well boxed in between secure countries. The problem is the 5% vocal Swedish minority in Finland promoting all kinds of worthless "Nordic" sheisse.

There was already a Nordic Defense Pact before the Winter War, but official Sweden opted out and actively hindered war efforts by preventing arms transports via Sweden.
I didn't hear that as the pretense for invasion either. As far as I heard the "red line" was always related to NATO (and maybe lesser extent to ethnic Russian treatment in the rebel areas).
