Interesting, thanks for the answer.

For others (like me) that haven't heard of Masterworks:

Masterworks creates a Delaware LLC issuer (taxed as a partnership) and files an offering of ordinary shares with the United States SEC under Regulation A. Each issuer will use proceeds from the offering to acquire a single work of art and title to the artwork will be contributed to a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company for the benefit of the issuer. The issuer will have no indebtedness, no other assets and will conduct no operations other than relating to the ownership, maintenance and eventual sale of the artwork. The issuer is administered by Masterworks pursuant to an administrative services agreement that provides that Masterworks pays all ordinary and necessary fees, costs and expenses in exchange for membership interests in the issuer.

(from the FAQ at https://www.masterworks.io/)

The Regulation A amendments from the JOBS Act ("Regulation A+", circa 2015) are indeed more recent than my last look at this, so I can't comment further. The Cayman Islands domicile rubs me the wrong way, but that may be out of ignorance.

Normally I wouldn't nitpick, but since you posted that 39% as a hard number, how much of the 61% remaining (the "aid") takes the form of grants, and how much of it is loans?

I disagree with most financial aid and admissions offices, who seem to regard loans as "aid"
I think the opposite. Prematurely building things you don't need costs $$$$, and in a tight funding environment you don't want to burn cash you don't need to.

Also compared to the 00s, the 2010s were a decade of gold plating and planning for scales you don't need.
> when you have the vast suburban sprawl that the USA has it's not safe to bike

Sprawl does not make it unsafe to bike; it's a lack of safe cycling infrastructure that does that. It would take a small fraction of the space given to cars to make it perfectly safe to bike. Now as you also mention, sprawl may make it impractical to bike.

That said... the distances between things in suburbia are often artificially inflated as well. This 21-minute walk to a grocery store near where I used to live could be cut down to maybe two minutes if you were to take down the fence blocking it off:

I wouldn't exactly call this farming. I have a very small honey business. I have a garden with all sorts of fruits, veggies, berries, and mushroom. I do software full time. There's not a lot of time required for my "farming" activities.

I hate my dev job. I don't want to be a full time farmer either. It would be nice to have a small farm in retirement, maybe focused on honey and mushrooms.
you still have to migrate the kernel state of underlying resources, so containers don't really buy you very much. as you say, in checkpoint restart you start with the big stuff like tcp sockets, but after a while you get tired of tracking down little flecks of state.

distributed shared memory though does deserve a new look now that baseline network speeds are 100x what the max was when it was first investigated. unfortunately temporal consistency is still going to be a major factor. some workloads will run great with some heuristics, and some won't. you'll almost certainly need to migrate threads along with pages to try to keep them running co-local without exhausting per-node resources.

I played in a pro orchestra once. We had one practice.

The conductor is critical. Sheet music is open to interpretation to an extent - what shade of emotion are you trying to convey; how should the different instruments blend together; how loud is fortissimo for this piece; how fast is fast; at what frequency should we tune, etc, etc. The conductor brings this vision about.

Classical musicians need to sightread, so that pretty much excludes the blind.

Pop is a different field. Bands are more manageable because the individuals all have separate lines and are supposed to be listening to each other. Which is how blind musicians like Stevie Wonder signal changes through their playing rather than through eye contact.

In an orchestra you have entire sections of somewhere-between-6-and-24-more-or-less people all trying to play the same lines while facing in the same direction, while another section plays something else next to them and/or behind them.

Keeping everyone together is a harder problem.

Happy to answer any questions. The fact is that financial return will depend on the risk profile - which we will depend on factors like

a) Will the investor take on construction risk
b) Will the facility be insured
c) Who is the power customer (off taker) how creditworthy are they, and what are the terms?
d) Will the financing include tax equity incentives and how will they be distributed.

These questions are all a matter of design and pragmatism. I want the financial design to be as considered as, and will integrated to, the user experience design.

> However, studies also estimate that upward of 10% to 21% of children and adolescents struggle with an anxiety disorder and as many as 30% of children experience moderate anxiety that interferes with their daily functioning at some time in their life.

Probably my toxic masculinity showing, but if 1 in 3 children has anxiety, then I'd chalk it up to "that's life". We cannot possibly offer therapy to that many children and medicating the problem away is a chilling suggestion.
> I would keep children away from doctors whose only solution is medication.

Not sure how that's relevant, neither the article’s nor the more general modern approach is that the “only solution is medication”.
The biggest deal to me is here is no escape hatch. If Cloudflare decides they don't like me, fine. But give me a button-press way to transfer my domain out, immediately, then. No asking, no waiting. You ban me, you crack open that functionality at the exact same time and link to it in your "we don't like you anymore" email.
In my experience, unless you lay off a key person, layoffs tend to generate a lot of drama for a day or two and then things quiet down. It's a short, temporary pain that hopefully can be justified with real numbers.

Cutting perks signals a permanent change in how they approach things like that, and is really hard to justify since in every single case I've seen it, perk cutoff is highly targeted at the rank and file and execs still get catered lunches during meetings, etc.
fun game, i tried, i got to the last row, but there was only 1 word left, so i lost. My strategy was to use words that use many of the same letters. e.g. "rotor". I might be able to beat it, but, at row 4, finding words is really really difficult.

yeah machine learning was not the best example because it does not depend on journal prestige, but pretty much everything else is

the publication venue matters very much in most fields. it is rare exception when something is published elsewhere. the bulk of papers need to make it to goodish journals to be ever seen and considered when deciding about funding. Open access misses the target because it only replaces the publishing part, not the prestige part.
Having watched anxiety-related problems rampage through my daughter's cohort, especially (but not only) in the last two years, I think this is a good thing. Anxiety is insidious. It leads to other problems that can be deadly, but anxiety itself never shows up as the cause of death. Other times it just hampers young people's ability to thrive in school or grow into adulthood, which can lead to a life-long pattern of under-achievement and unhappiness. Detecting and intervening early would be a great help. Yes, we should also look at the causes of all this excess anxiety. Yes, we should avoid over-diagnosing and (especially) over-medicating. All that said, equipping kids and young adults with healthier outlooks and strategies would still be great.
> If 10% to 21% of kids had some sort of minor physical aliment we wouldn't be content to just treat it and not question why it is happening.

It's almost like the article should highlight the need for prevention as well as screening which (checks) it does.
How is it not the same thing? Person paying with debit card or cash pays less than if they were to pay with credit card.

I guess technically the merchant can do an AmEx discount and a Visa discount or whatever, but it is probably easier to just do a flat percent off for all credit cards (3% to 5%).

Given that 2-3% (and improving given interest rates) is risk free, on a risk adjusted basis you’re doing better than almost any other investment. Debt payment is almost always the most advantaged move - on a risk adjusted basis.

I’m not suggesting only using mortgage payment as an investment vehicle but one in addition to robo or index investment, and always max out your tax advantaged options first.
Indeed, it just makes sense to have roughly the same conditions for performance as for rehearsal.

But, having played conducted music (double bass), there's another reason. What seems like a fine tuned machine on stage conceals a lot of chaos, and the orchestra may be barely hanging on by a thread. For one thing, at any performance, probably 5 to 15 % of the musicians are substitutes, due to a variety of circumstances. For some commercial gigs, 100%.

Those subs rarely attend more than one or two rehearsals, and sometimes none if it's an emergency. Of course there's a cadre of musicians who specialize in that kind of work. I do it but in typically in a jazz setting. Still, I've experienced looking at some hastily e-mailed PDF's of bass parts, a day before a performance, and saying to myself: "I'm screwed unless the conductor gets me through this."

I don’t think it’s an either or thing. I think social media has saturated. It’s no longer some new and exciting thing. People already know what’s it about. They will slowly cut back on its usage. It won’t go away but it also won’t be like the last 10 years either.
Rooting for you to succeed, but to be candid your response kind of proved my point. Many of us on this site have a lot of experience with early stage startups and get nervous when we hear founder roles described like this:

> She will be key in helping Legends create a resonant brand with cultural currency as we grow and evolve.

Brand is no doubt important, but execution is what makes a startup work.

> I wanna push back on the idea that designers are no 'doers'... 'Doing' is an ethic, not a discipline,

Hard disagree. Plenty of startups have risen to fame on impressive branding only to fail because they treated execution as an afterthought. Execution is at the core of every startup, and it's certainly not just a mindset. Someone has to execute.

> there are plenty of examples of designers rising to be successful entrepreneurs (AirBnB, et al.).

True! But in the startup world I've also seen many, many founding teams who thought they'd design the product and then figure out how to execute it later using future hires.

It's basically a meme: Usually "we have it all figured out, we just need a few engineers..."

It doesn't work out. Getting someone on the team who knows how to execute should be the top priority.

You're right, technically and morally.

But the parent commenter has an important point that should not be dismissed. It is far more effective to regulate/improve centrally at the producer side rather than "wait" for the goodwill of consumers.

You can't flood the world with cheap unsustainable meat (or other products), next put a far more expensive sustainable option next to it and think all of this will just magically play out.

Ideally, there should be no unsustainable goods being offered at all. The very word unsustainable pretty strongly suggests that ending the practice is a must.
For personal use, it would be much easier using a Calendar service that syncs with our devices and works with our services.

That said, this kind of text format is useful if one needs to keep track of calendar information for a specific project (in a project folder).

Fleshing this out a bit more: The idea was that there would be one "Document" type, and that you could have multiple parts in that document, each supported by a separate application.

Users getting a document could always see it (there were essentially graphical previews built in to the format), and you only had to have the Application to modify content in that section of the document.

As an example: a single document that had one area that was a spreadsheet, another area that was a chart derived from the data in that spreadsheet area, and then other areas that were images or text areas.

For those that have used Adobe's InDesign with embedded images from Photoshop or Illustrator, this is much the same idea (except using plugins rather than the original app to do the rendering).

It was a neat idea, but needed a lot of different places to buy into it, and it would have needed to have a killer InDesign replacement as part of the OS, and it never had that. Plus all of the apps like Word and Excel would have had to buy into having that as their hub, and I am not sure that Microsoft (or others) would have ever given up that much control.
I ask this genuinely and non-rhetorically: are they wrong? Everything seems to say that we are running out of time to avert climate disaster, and they're the ones who will have to live with the consequences if we fail.
While thinking about it I found an interesting fact: If they don't produce the data that lead to the account ban because they they "don't have it", they don't actually have proof of fraud anymore. If they don't have proof of fraud you can invoke GDPR article 16 "Right to rectification" and "unfraud" your account. Theoretically they can't argue against it because they don't have any data to argue with...

If they don't unfraud you AND don't produce the data they are not in compliance of either article 15 or article 16 and have delivered the proof noncompliance themselves.
For me personally yes it has.

Thank you. Ultimately I would agree that some more security is good, that we do we need capabilities & strategies for trust, need to make more options available.

But I also think top-down, authoritarian measures are pitiful, reactionary, & an entitled response. This co-option & bending- of what has gotten us so far, & only infrequently been problematic- into something industrial & controlling, is unwarranted & vulgar.

It's very important to realize that "success" cannot be the objective. There will always be fundamental questions of trust that are outstanding. Once we begin pretending that this is a "problem to be solved" and not an ongoing shifting changing scene we think too short-term, too limitedly. This is a long long iteration with no finality with no triumphant final cracking the code to get us security. Letting Microsoft and/or China[1] approve all PRs & everyone living happily ever sounds nice, but incompatible with the ethos & logos of open-source, of letting people be people & mutually encouraging each other.

I'd also emphasize- strongly- that the real defenses are collectivized ones. Maybe we can build a social network of vouchers, people who look at releases & record a confidence or sureness they feel about the changes. Aggregate the results when we update packages. Open source has been a collective effort, and I think a lot of the security gains we want are from increased collectivization. This- notably- again bucks the idea of absolute security, of fundamental answers, and instead encourages & pushes in a good direction.

I saw a project get themselves in that position by using a lot of AWS services. At some point it seems they had a dev environment but it quickly faded.

Their solution was to have an anonymized copy of prod to a few (like 3 for 20 engineers) environment where features could be tested. Engineers usually paired in order use them concurrently for unrelated features and they were very expensive.

I did not live enough to see the on-demand environments arrive - devops was always busy with operations tickets to continue building those.

Both Texas and Maine would be unlikely candidates. Maine has some pretty stringent and arbitrary rules about behind-the-meter commercial power arrangements. Texas is possible with commercial facilities, but their regulatory framework is also deterrent, really to any kind of development.

To be honest, in all odds the financial return is more likely to be dependent on factors like who the off-taker is, if the financing includes construction risk, if we are insuring the facility, etc than its physical location.
