Not the A-hole
NTA. This is definitely an action movie scene. “I’m the one who built this meth empire, who do you think you’re messing with? Just die!”

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT
Asshole
YTA. Not because you built a business empire and helped police the drug scene (that's a good thing), but because of how you went about it. You didn't reach out to law enforcement, or do any due diligence on who you were dealing with (notably Mafia-affiliated people). Now your brother in law is dead, his wife is mourning him, and a child may be affected by all this.

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT
Toss-up
YTA. You're currently in jail, so I assume you know you're an asshole. However, even though you built a meth empire, killed people and are a general drug lord, you're still not as bad as the guy who had his leg blown off by a landmine because he refused to let his buddies sexually abuse a kid.

A 30+ FPS Perfect Dark would be amazing. The RAM extension pack wasn't enough for that game. The AI was pretty good IIRC (although definitely went in loops). Had lots of fun playing 1 vs 11 medium difficulty. I miss throwing N-bomb grenades.
Yes, if anything is worse than Reddit it’s the official forums of the large tech companies.
Similar experience. I was looking up standing desks. Any subreddit related to standing desks were saturated by businesses and their social media reps. While I appreciate that they were upfront, it is getting even harder to get an honest, real person review of various consumer products and services.
I suppose you could call everything produced by man weapons of environmental destruction, but that doesn't make it very useful.
Ember – Launch a Web3 landing page and messaging community in minutes
Yawn — aggregate global numbers don’t represent every trial Starbucks has done at their stores, and this is based on my discussions with Starbucks finance staff about this phenomena.

But sure, I just made it up because my story (in simplified form) didn’t match the numbers you quickly found about global aggregates.

> They live in fantasy land where they pretend like the goal of a coffee shop is something akin to "serving the community" or "being a third place" when in actuality the point is to sell something for more than it costs to produce.

I think it’s interesting that because you couldn’t verify my personal anecdote on public data, you made extremely negative assumptions about me:

- I’m a liar.

- I don’t know about business from spending a decade in marketing, econ, and finance.

You also seem to not even understand the term “thirdspace” or realize that’s a product cafes, bars, and restaurants sell and from where they gain part of their value by being fun and social. Whoa!

> MBA types get a lot of shit on this forum, but MBA types are good at some things. And those things include running a pretty simple business like a coffee shop. It's pretty simple math, you can set clear targets, estimate demand and balance trade offs like what to have on the menu and how much to charge.

Except that this is untrue and a reflection of your own lack of information — though I agree MBAs get an unfair treatment around here.

However, you’re dead wrong about running a coffee shop being simple maximization or “simple math” — but I hope you keep it up. Small minds like yours causing problems keeps me employed to fix them.
Hi all!

Sharing a new product that we launched today on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ember-2fead3ac-fb3b-4d70-9...)

We created Ember to help make the experience of launching or participating in web3 communities easier.

As a creator, it is difficult and daunting to set up a web3 project. Website builders like Wix or Squarespace do not support web3 functionality. And messaging platforms like Telegram or Discord require 3rd party bots and plugins to support even the most basic web3 interactions like token gates or wallet verification.

Even when someone succeeds at setting this up, this still results in a subpar experience.

We believe the future of web3 is social, integrated, and frictionless. So, we decided to build just that.

Ember is an ambitious project aimed at becoming the social layer for web3 communities, starting with easy to set up landing pages and messaging communities.

Today, you can use Ember to set up a landing page with built-in wallet connection, and whitelists (minting coming soon). Today, you can also set up a messaging community with built-in ERC 721 token-gates, and you can browse other member's NFTs, and even set your own as a profile picture.

Thank you for taking the time to check us out! (feedback is always appreciated)

The optimist in me thinks that's just the cops way of dissuading the crazy person from getting personally involved, encouraging them to instead call the adults.
I’d normally say you get to pick one - make the video OR make the insurance claim, but given how stupid this pilot was I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to get both (and arguably NOT trying to claim the insurance itself might look suspicious)

Their math seems off. I really don't see how you get to 97% renewable when the state was burning natural gas to generate 2.8 GW of non-renewable power and had about 1.1 GW of nuclear at the time. There might be some funny math here where they assign all of the "dirty" power generated in the state to exports and can claim that that California is running on renewable power.

> Firefox is now only provided in Ubuntu as a snap. Some benefits include...

I haven't tested 22.04 yet, but it seems it's coming with snap by default, and some (many?) packages will be available exclusively via snap. It was already the case with Chromium, but with this launch it seems Firefox and others will follow suit.

That's a shame. I've been a loyal Ubuntu user for over a decade, but snap is a hill I'm ready to die on, for the various reasons listed in this years-long centi-thread [1]. So 20.04 will likely be my last ubuntu-flavored distro.

I know gnome doesn't have many fans around here, but any suggestions of gnome-based distro that are also deb-based? I'm considering pure Debian, but not sure how polished it really is. Pop!_OS is another option, and I'm using it on a secondary machine to test, but it has a small community, and not sure about the developer's commitment with its long term maintenance.

Frequent and complex merges are inevitable if one maintains a few patches to an actively developed upstream and the upstream either does not want them or the patches are too specific to the product to be a part of the upstream.
>Motor-vehicle crashes account for 20%[1] of child and adolescent deaths in the US.

Yep, 20% of something that almost never happens. .025% of adolescents die each year, .005% of them due to motor vehicle crashes. Further, the paper suggests most of adolescent vehicle deaths happen as passengers and/or drivers.
Machine code is only moderately less convenient.
On that note, maybe I should clarify it’s not that he is dishonest or has a reputation for dishonesty. Rather, he was always a stuntman and a showman more than he was an athlete. To his credit, he always seemed comfortable with that reputation, maybe because he really enjoys scheming up stunts. Either way, to anyone who knows him, it would seem strange for him to buy an airplane and not dream up a stunt to perform with it. He also has the money to waste.
Depending on how crappy you want to go you can get one for $30k maybe, and I don’t know the monetization rates for YouTube but if you hit 10 million you might make that back.
It’s a tiny portion of federal revenue, which as pointed out and cited is predominantly funded by income tax. It also doesn’t straightforwardly find Social Security. It funds a portion of pay outs to current recipients, something like ~90%, with the rest coming from general funds. That portion is decreasing as demographics shift. It’s sort of a weird cash transfer program that’s presented as some sort of lock box. We could lift the cap to make SS more solvent past the 2040s, but it would still be a small portion of federal revenue compared to income tax which is highly progressive.

I don’t understand how you’re even arguing that income tax isn’t highly progressive here, every tax expert and economist disagrees with you. It’s just basic accounting. Most federal revenue is from income tax and most of it comes from the top quintile of income earners.

++ A lot of people in this thread either live in wonderfully walkable places or have simply never actually tried. Y'all, Google Maps giving you walking directions is not the same thing as walkable lol.

The local high school where I grew up was not exactly walkable. There were multiple uncontrolled crossings (with speed limits over 30mph) and missing sidewalks all over the place that force you to walk on the shoulder/in the gutter.
If you live downtown you are unlikely to have a grade school in your area from what I can see of any American cities. Families with school aged children don’t tend to live in the downtowns. Older suburbs are much more walkable in terms of kids walking to school with sidewalks and fewer vehicles than an urban center.
Three Topics for Young Political Economists (Munger, 2022)
Sounds like a good call to me. If you have something mission critical that's tried and tested, and reliably does 99% of what you need it to, you don't mess with it. It's very easy in software dev to get caught up in software optimizations, and it's a lot harder to quantify the risk of continuing to mess with something the closer you get to ship date.

Of course it "shouldn't make any difference" but who among us hasn't at some point been bitten by a "that couldn't possibly affect... ohhh. Ohhhhhhh." style bug?

When you're dealing not just with a single piece of software, but an entire hardware+software ecosystem, you don't risk jeopardizing the whole stack for an extra few FPS in some back corner.

Got roasted for "I deleted my coworker's unit test because I thought it was a bad test." The blue AI ranted at me about never ever deleting tests, and the green AI failed to absolve me because of an error.

"On the other hand, if you use Kinesis, Lambdas, RDS, VPC peering, and IAM accross all of them including EC2 and EKS, then no, none of those other options can even come close. Purely the lack of system-wide IAM alone would be a dealbreaker."

If you use those, AWS starts rubbing its hands together and cackling in an evil laugh. I bet they even have an mp3 that plays whenever a major player uses a lock-in api product on AWS.

"aws lambda install blah blah" < I obviously don't know the api

Somewhere in Seattle: Mwahahahahahaha! Bwahahahahahah! Kwahahahahah!

Although RDS is just hosted SQL databases. It isn't a pure lock-in. Identity management, key management, firewalls, and networking all exist in some form at most places.

And don't underestimate how bad internal "clouds" are in large enterprises. AWS pure EC2 can still be a huge win, especially if that is the only one that has been "expertly" vetted or negotiated by some lofty level of management on a golf course somewhere.

This is the first test end to end of my Raspberry PI camera. The project is kinda simple, but I had to take care of some problems that might arrive: power outages, no internet, no space left on SD card... I wrote a handful of small scripts to create the images, upload them to my server and to clean afterwards. Everything is run by cronjobs. Soon I'll be uploading the scripts in case someone finds this project useful. More information can be seen watching the other videos on the playlist. Hope you like it
Unless you intend to create your own CPU architecture, your own internet and your own human population, by your logic, you are always "locked in". Regarding negotiating positions, those are governed by contracts and by money, the same as with any other company.

There is no real lock-in other than the requirements of your own implementation. A lambda on AWS can just as easily be run on Kubernetes, but that means that on top of running the code that you wanted to run, you now have to run Kubernetes too. You could use a hosted Kubernetes control plane, or fully hosted setup, but according to your same logic you would now be locked in to Kubernetes.

It seems to me that you might have a very special use case, or simply not have had the scaled experience or requirements that made a lot of other vendors non-viable.

Business risk-wise, AWS is a very low risk when compared with pretty much anything else. What do you think will fail first, a custom in-house maintained setup (expensive, non-portable between companies and people) on Digital Ocean, Linode, OVH, Hetzner, etc or all AWS Availability Zones in all AWS Regions world-wide? (and we ignore the lack of IAM, lack of things like RDS, SQS, SNS etc)

Now that's a 10x programmer if I ever saw one. I'm sure the compiler helped too. The generated code of C compilers from the 80's and 90's versus the generated code created by something like modern GCC -- it's like night and day. We're able to build faster tinier software than we ever have before, and it really helps to illuminate the impact modern tools have had when we apply that advantage to something old we already know.

Indeed and I should clarify - it’s not if the company is “worth < 50m” it’s if the company has less than 50m in assets generally. So you could have raised 30m at a 200m valuation and qualify.

Is this required reading for startup founders? It's way over my head. I get some of the core concepts, but reading about this stuff makes me wonder why growing a startup can't more simple.

I get that there are real world needs for things to be as complicated as they are, so that things can grow very quickly, with people aligned with incentives and committed to a common goal. But seriously, why does it feel like this level of complexity is the norm? And just one slip up and you've screwed all of your finances forever (among many other potential horrible outcomes).
