>>Those "business contributions to climate change" exist because they're producing goods that consumers want; you can't significantly reduce that without also affecting consumer lifestyles, by reducing the options for the number of goods, or making them more expensive.

>without actually tackling industries and corporation that do way more harm is just stupid

I think you're missing the parent poster's point, which is that consumers ultimately pay for everything. "tackling industries and corporation" ultimately means affecting consumer's lifestyles.

The Staples center has been mentioned a couple times in this thread. If one is going to pay to name a stadium, make sure its a new stadium. As buying the rights to a stadium that expired after many years means you are paying a lot of money to put your name on something that people just call by the old name anyway.
You're entirely misunderstanding me and the quote, as they both agree and align with what you're saying completely.

Again, the quote is not about avoiding or ignoring valid logical discourse, criticism, hypotheses, or any other logically coherent verbalization. The quote says that if the words are ambiguous, don't use them in logical arguments. Meaningless here does not mean hypothetical or conjectural or wrong, but simply ill-defined. This interpretation leaves plenty of room for everything you have described and are afraid would be criticized by the quote.

So, to get back to why I brought it up: creativity is an ill-defined concept in the context of logical reasoning, and so should not be used in logical reasoning as if it was an attribute that we can empirically or theoretically judge any entity to be in possession of.

This is why all replies to the above comment get lost in semantics: what is creativity? This is ill-defined, and hence based on your personal preference you may arrive freely at any conclusion you wish. Hence using the word "creativity" during a logical argument or truthful statement is guaranteed to produce conflict when multiple interpreters are present. Multiple logical interpreters can never be in conflict about purely logical reasoning, this is why we can have math.

Again, this is NOT saying that anything is unknowable, it is simply saying that whatever creativity is, or is composed of, is not clearly defined. This means it cannot be knowable or unknowable until it is clearly defined, and specifically only if done so in a rigorous enough definition to use it during reasoning.

To get back to your last point: doing what I described above is specifically to further the progress of our understanding of the universe, and specifically to attain new knowledge and understanding, because it cuts down on the discourse that does not contribute to that goal. It's the difference between arguing about whether machines have creativity and building DALL-E.
The country responsible for "The laws of mathematics do not apply here" is the last one I'd trust with this.
Delaware, though we originally incorporated in the UK and then flipped as a condition of receiving investment. (Thanks Accel people!) The flip was the most complicated thing we've done--accounting, lawyers on both sides to avoid the dreaded taxable event, etc.

I would absolutely do the same in future. The contract to individual or individual's company is a standard model for remote companies like us that work on open source software. Some of our staff just have email & github access and that's it.

My email is in my profile. Send me email if you want to discuss. I'm happy to share details directly.
What bugs me is that U.S. citizens are practically brainwashed from birth that unions and socialism are bad.

I know, because I lived through it but came to see the light after I found out that UAW workers are practically the only decent-earning blue collar workers in the U.S.
Ukraine deliberately shelled civians for 8 years, so what?

Their routine tactics of dealing with rebels is to bomb civians dear to those rebels. When they don't hope to make territorial gains, they wish to inflict some damage and civian targets are way easier to hit.

This week, they're using freshly supplied M777 to bomb areas of Donetsk they could not reach previously. Such as by hitting four schools in a single day.

More and more games nowadays have a little recap during the loading screens when you load a save file.

I've even seen games that explicitly say "you haven't loaded this save in a while. Do you want a refresher?"

It's a cool idea and seems to me to solve the problem of "where was I" after a break, but it hasn't caught on fully yet.
This is how ie banking works. Nobody smart/experienced enough even pretends its about more than next paycheck.

Sounds soulless, and for some it is, but there is no place for drama when the day comes.

Being good hearted will eventually backfire - that one employee who feels its very unfair to him, with right access can do so much damage to already faltering company it can even bring it down.

So its a precaution, because 1 (or 5) percent of people are vengeful assholes, and you often find out only when right buttons are pressed.

Severance package is always generous, ie my bank gives in such case 1 salary for every year worked, on top of mandatory 3 ones mandated by Swiss laws.

Exactly, we aren't talking about the ways these parties are different, we're fully aware of that, we are talking about the ways these parties are the same. When we say "both sides" or "both sides are the same" we are talking about the ways in which they are the same, and that these ways are problematic and bothersome.

Its as valid of a stance, for an individual, as a different individual choosing to privilege a way in which one party is different.

What about Eucalyptus[1] for instance (no affiliation)? it's open source, can be installed locally, and specifically mentions compatibility with AWS.

I have personally used it with both official AWS and third-party tools to reproduce the deployment and use of an existing setup on AWS, and it worked very well for me.

Because easy access to vebture capital, a huge single language market, a risk affine culture and prior success in these fields seem to play a much larger role than how difficult it is to incorporate. If an entepreneur is already discouraged by incorporating, maybe he should stay an employee.

Well that just means you certainly haven’t used many other Apple softwares. Because they compete quite healthily at being among the worst.
At its core, you're fervently asking for a world without irregularities, without flaws. A just world. Our world isn't this way. It is unjust. Where you're born is restrictive on your opportunities, plain and simple.

The only way to free yourself from the yoke of the US (I presume you are American) is to renounce your citizenship. Which means you cannot enjoy all that comes with this privilege, like living there. Are you ready to do that?

And if you're wondering whether you can make a nation: yes you can. Maintaining a nation, having a sole claim on territory, and having recognitions by your peers (other nations), that's the tough part. Again, if you wish to free yourself from american tyranny this way, you need to find another nation, already recognized by the US, willing to agree to your existence as a nation. Are you able to do that?

Like I said, an unjust world.
Thanks for correcting!
That's not a point that's just a statement. Also you're arguing against a straw man.
I did try wireless earphones during commutes and the freedom was indeed wonderful. I did miss better sound quality and having more choice of earphones so went back to wired. I had taken the step to wear noise-cancelling wireless headphones (with no signal) overtop my wired earbuds. And now I don't commute. For virtual work meetings etc, wireless is convenient and good enough.

I have a very simple metric for gauging how good my music setup is: how many hours I can enjoy listening to music in one session. Without good quality sources, DACs, analog, and transducers it's much less than an hour. On the other end it can be many hours where I don't know where the time flew.
Can't wait for this all to eventually leak. Countries need to realize data is not "free" and has a cost to it.
Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands.
The tutorial might be better called “pixel art for animation” or “pixel art for games.” There’s a practicality to the restyling: it vastly improves the ability of the character’s parts to be animated, without things looking strange. (E.g. without the thin little arms on the human suddenly being thicker when taken away from the body.)

You might call the initial work “impressionist” — it has proportions that might be emotionally evocative, but that impression only works in that static framing, and can’t really be pulled out into a coherent aesthetic model. (I.e. you can’t just take the scene, mentally rotate it about the Z axis 30 degrees, and know what it should look like.)
I second that. There are growing number of startups and increasing capital pouring into Estonia (hence the largest inflation rate in Europe)

Music in Heaven
I'm not really understanding what the newsworthy bits here are. There's an implication that this source had some kind of huge trove of data, but the reporter never got it and that's not what the story is about.

Instead, this story alleges: (1) the reporter planned to meet with a source to get a classified leak, (2) the FBI got wind of it, and (3) they planned what amounts to a sting operation (I guess, it's complicated because this was in France) to catch the leaker.

That's... I mean that's the FBI's job. That leak is clearly illegal, it's a crime. Their job is to enforce the law.

Beyond that there's some juicy details about the lawyer who originally ratted on the source and then got cold feet and warned the reporter. And that's interesting.

But... there's no government abuse angle here, not without knowing the contents of that leak that didn't happen.

Germany is #5 on your provided link if you click on "Countries with most current unicorns".

More than half the unicorns on that website are in the USA (665 in the USA, 1328 - 665 = 663 outside). My point was that Germany definitely had some world known brands in software, it's more than zero.

You might be interested in my game. I'm working on Archapolis, a city builder with real time traffic simulation and interior views of your citizens homes (which you can customize/build yourself if you want), so you can watch them live their lives.

I created a path finding algorithm that can simultaneously path 300,000 units to random destinations at a comfortable frame rate. Units can choose from any of the shortest paths between two points (there are many in a grid), and from those paths, can also choose the path that matches any preferences they have.

Very early stages of development still!
You're kidding yourself. As a contractor / freelancer you're merely a hobo / day-laborer / gig worker.

If you have a rare skill it may work out okay, but woo you if you ever become sick or disabled.
If you think your employees will take revenge action after being let go, you need to do a lot better job at hiring people.

I can't imagine many professionals would do something damaging to their employer on the way out. Facing legal troubles right when you are looking for a new job seems very shortsighted.

Also, if you treat the people you are letting go as humans, they will be less likely to retaliate. Ironically, trying to prevent retaliation by treating them like they will retaliate is more likely to cause them to do so.
I have not played Disco yet, but have been tempted. Thanks for the comparison to The City & The City, easily one of my favorite books and such a mind bend. If you’ve not watched Counterpart with J.K. Simons is very similar in feel, to me at least. Shame it was never finished.

Why else do you think career politicians from across the spectrum, from liberal Gavin Newsom to conservative Ron DeSantis, have worked hard to explicitly block ranked choice voting reforms? Not just voice their opinions against it, but proactively halt and override legislative reforms when they happen.

The duopoly doesn't benefit from making a more fair and inclusive system that allows for a greater diversity of political involvement.

I prefer to use the radio feature because I don't know exactly what I want to listen to and more importantly I want to learn about new artists. The fact that you can never see liked songs again is so frustrating. You can't even see a history of playback -- when you use radio. Astounding.

I wonder how Apple engineers use the application. Are they not also frustrated?
Resource Encapsulation
You would be correct if the governments consisted of smart, very technical people, who weren't brainwashed by colleges into implicitly believing the current "feel good" narrative.

But in reality, the people in charge are a complete opposite of that.
Right, the border is chill (except for the crazy covid times, hope that's behind us). Mostly easy and fair rules for regular people. But the point is, if your car is full of meat and it's for a restaurant, not personal consumption, it's definitely illegal.

If we are concerned about the health care costs of people eating too much junk food I would also think we _must_ curtail any other unnecessary risky or dangerous behavior that can lead to increased health care needs like drinking, biking on a busy road, rock climbing, skiing, skateboarding, endurance sports that slowly destroy your joints, skydiving, motorized racing of any kind, horseback riding, suntanning... I could go on.
There are no politicians involved in this story at all. This is just the FBI doing police work (and then getting burned by their own informant). Like it or not, distribution of classified material is a crime, and the FBI's job is to enforce the law.

There's no "unchecked" power here. The details are complicated because the meeting was international (so presumably there was some coordination with local police), but there's no court in the nation that wouldn't immediately stamp a warrant based on the straightforward facts alleged here.
I owned it also, and agree, the book was worth twice the asking price, must have kept that book for 10 years at least.
The first part was annoyance at becoming a company in general. What annoyed the author, like figuring out how to structure ownership, would be annoying anywhere.

And all the problems the author ran into sound very much like somebody just winging it, rather than investing a day or so getting informed on the available options and alternatives, and their implications.

And if investing a day into informing yourself about (1) incorporating and (2) its implications is too much to ask, then I honestly don't know whether a startup would be the right thing for the author in the first place.

Yeah it's public so nothing to leak, it's meant to be like this, same in Estonia, your address is public, your name, your birthdate, +/- your face picture, all the land you possess, you can interrogate who is the owner of a specific car plate without any restrictions, see a map of all the traffic accidents with precise information (date, why, what, what was damaged). Then you have semi-public data like phone location (you just need to sign NDA), and guess what ? Everything is fine.

So that one’s wealth depends on other people’s work isn’t the moral question, is it? It would be a question if it was forced labor. And perhaps would also be a question if a person‘s wealth was merely inherited, or if the person had come into this position in a way which was not open to other people as well.
