Definitely. The act of incorportation has one goal: to abstract away risk and liability. Human people controlling the company will not be held liable for their actions or debts. But this comes with the trade-off of having to accept regulations.

If you want to have full control over your property then do not incorporate and give the property to the corporate person. I can block links to mastadon on my truly private (ie, owned by a human person) website without consequence. "Private" corporate persons have more regulatory burdens for obvious reasons.

> Things that are hard in Rust, are even harder in C and C++.

That is not true of C++. There are many valuable things that are much easier to express in C++ than Rust, owing to C++ being a significantly more expressive language. Rust also doesn't make it easy to write software where ownership is intrinsically ambiguous and must be algorithmically resolved at runtime without wrapping the object, a common case e.g. for high-performance storage.

I would agree that everything is harder in C, though.
No those are clearly Kermit the Frogs
Completely agree! When you need to compute numbers or deal with raw bytes, you have C. When you need to be high-level, you have Python, Java, C#, etc. Rust is applicable only in areas where you need both a high-level and systems language. Examples include interpreters, operating systems, browsers, game engines, etc. The hype of Rust just exceeds its problem domain.

Honestly they might just love that as it'd give them broad 9/11 style support and they could break the rules more openly to "fight cop killers"
> Did scala 3 finally clean up the syntax

Well, they didn’t break the existing language, so not sure. It depends on what do you find readable/difficult. Because contrary to the usual opinion on the language, I believe it is not “difficult” - it has much fewer exceptional rules than Java for example. Sure, some features are more expressive and that comes with big responsibility, but to actually answer your question, some implicit usage is indeed cleaned up making it much less magical-looking.

But scala 3 has been a very huge update, including having a new compile flag that will turn to language “null-safe” (so a nullable String will have String | Null as a type). So it might be worth it to have a new look at the language.
I didn't say the only purpose of Bitcoin was to conduct transactions, but that the only purpose of mining (and the blockchain) was to do so.

Specifically, mining exists to ensure that if you send me Bitcoin, I can be quite confident you haven't sent the same Bitcoin to somebody else. All that expenditure is there to guarantee nobody double spends. It facilitates trustworthy transactions.

Now, it's fair to say that in a way, that also protects people who are just sitting on their Bitcoin not transacting it, since their Bitcoin wouldn't be worth anything if they didn't believe that they could transact if they wished to. But the literal, direct purpose of mining is to protect people receiving Bitcoin in trade, not people sitting on it, who are protected from theft by the secrecy of their private keys.

> An appropriately high tax on jet fuel would price the airline industry out of business.

Why would it? Looking around it looks like fuel makes up 30% of airline's expenditures. Disregarding profits, that means $300 of a $1000 plane ticket is for fuel. The current world wide price for jet fuel is $3.76/gal, and burning a gallon of jet fuel produces 9.57kg of co2. One source says carbon needs to be priced at least $100/tonne[3], which is in line with current prices in the EU. With that price, the price of carbon is expected to add $0.96 per gallon, or a 26% increase in fuel costs. However, it would only raise overall expenditures by 7.7%. I doubt that's doubt that's going to bankrupt airlines. Consumers will probably fully absorb the cost.

Finance companies have a good idea of what a car will be worth after you are done with it. That is why they limit miles: they know the loss of value from miles and don't want to know lose money. Their goal is when the lease ends and you turn the car in the dealer pays the entire remaining balance and sells it as a used car. Dealers make more money from selling used cars than new (everyone knows what they pay for cars and won't allow any profit, but for used you don't know what they really paid for it).

When you trade in your car the dealer will give you an offer for your car. Depending on demand this may be higher or lower than what the lease company wants. When it is higher you win. When it is lower leasing would be better. Either way though, the dealer is pricing in a profit margin from selling your car, so if you don't trade in your car but sell it yourself you can get this profit margin in exchange for your time.

In the end it is about risk management. What will the car be worth in 3 years when you are ready for a new one? Nobody knows for sure 3 years in advance. Sometimes it will be worth a lot more than the lease company expects and so you win, sometimes it will be worth less and so you lose. If you don't trade your car in you probably will always win in monetary terms, though I'm not sure if it is worth the time.

Check your math on that one. More like 50 +/- a few years.
I don't think my city is quite as hostile as houston but is in the same class. I'll ride 20 miles to the start of a ride pretty often, or sometimes take the bus if the route lines up.

This is very common in urban fixed gear culture, but our rides tend to be small and ad-hoc compared to the big organized road bike ones. I've done those a few times and was actively made unwelcome so it's not particularly surprising it's not extremely on your radar. Nonetheless my city has an active community a couple thousand strong that would consider it unusual to drive to a ride.

Musk should dig a pit. A pit. An office in a pit. In the the ground. In a pit. Pit office. Office pit. Yes. In a pit.
It's more than just a crazy idea. I joined a high-risk small startup coming from a very stable job with a new baby to take care of. Being unemployed at the time was absolutely not an option. The new company seemed amazing and like a great opportunity, but they didn't even have health insurance for remote employees (this was awhile back), so I was very worried that something would fall through at the last moment.

I've heard stories of people working two remote jobs to double their income, but based on my experience of just two weeks overlap the stress induced from secretly having two jobs indefinitely seems to outweigh the financial benefit.

I was thinking the same thing. He has graphs for how quickly the pm2.5 levels reduce compared with a commercial machine, but not compared with running the fan alone, without filters.

I believe that it is quite possible the majority of the air is not going through the filters. It seems that much of the air might spill out down the insides of the filters, rather than being forced through. In that case, the graph could be equally explained by the fan causing outside air to be sucked in.

OpenGL is supported by all middlewares and is native to Linux the way Metal is native to Mac. And Mac isn't getting ports of AAA games either.

If supporting Metal means Mac matters, then supporting OpenGL means Linux matters. If Linux having no ports means it doesn't matter, then Mac having no ports means Mac doesn't matter. Either opinion is defensible, but at least be consistent.

Hi there! I'm working on a platform/framework for making retro-compatible websites, and was wondering if you'd have a few minutes to test it with webOS?

I've already tested with older BlackBerry, IE3, and as far back as Netscape 2.x, but I don't have a webOS device.

Is it possible you could spend just a few minutes on it and send me some feedback? Ideally, you should be able to register in one click (no email), write a post, and vote and reply to your own post.

> Never assume malice when it can be sufficiently explained by a bug or incompetence.

My 100% baseless opinion is that most evil in big orgs comes from emergent behavior.

Ant colonies are capable of really complex stuff, even though individual ants are somewhat simple beings.

Likewise, a corp can do evil stuff even though all individuals who are part of it aren't actively seeking to do harm.

Since we can't ask a corp its intentions, it's fair to judge them for the consequences of their actions.
Unless your ceiling is very high you probably wouldn't need a ladder to change the filters on a productized version of this. Reach up, twist something to unlock, old filter slides out, slide in new filter, twist to lock. Repeat for each filter going around. Ten minutes every six months?
Well, it depends on the details.

Sometimes large layoffs mean absolutely nothing - for example, if a company lays off a loss-making division that's nothing to do with your work. If you work on advertising for Facebook and they lay off the entire VR headset division, your job might remain entirely secure.

Sometimes layoffs mean the company is short of money - that products aren't bringing in enough revenue to cover costs, and investors aren't looking to pump in more cash. This might mean there will be further rounds of layoffs in the near future; subsequent layoffs might be less generous; and there might be a freeze on raises or promotions, no matter how well you perform.

On the other hand, I've known people get big promotions at failing companies, as their superiors leave for greener pastures. So your employer being in decline doesn't always mean freezes on promotions!

Some layoffs mean the bosses think bad hires have been made - that the company has too many indolent employees putting in just enough effort to not get fired. Maybe that colleague everybody knows is useless will finally get fired. On the other hand, if the bosses think people like you are dead weight, that might not bode well for your career.

Sometimes layoffs mean the company has changed strategy and areas that were seen as money-makers (like adding new features to the product) are now seen as cost centers. This may indicate there will be less work developing new greenfield code and worrying about chasing the cutting edge. If you're near the end of your career that might be fine; if you're early in your career, it might mean this isn't the place to keep your skills up-to-date.

Just because you are forced to interact with immoral things that doesn't mean they suddenly become moral.

Libertarians who think taxation is theft still pay taxes. The local restaurant owner will pay the local goons their protection money - shockingly without thinking the protection scheme is a moral one. Many people buy goods manufactured in China, even if they don't support Government oppression (at least not to the extent that's going on there).

Humans are complex creatures. You can disapprove of something while still being (more or less) forced into participating in the activity, without imploding in a puff of logic.

If I see the behavior of rich individuals as well as companies (large and small, rich and poor), it does seem to me as though we need to work on both sides. Implying that personal responsibility is zero... we're eight billion people and about a billion of those are rich. That includes the vast majority of the people reading this (as well as myself—I'm writing this comment from a train which I chose over going by car today for environmental reasons). Can we really say that we are not to blame for any of this? We don't want capitalism with supply and demand, where we're creating the demand? What alternative is being proposed, that corporations just stop doing environmentally harmful things but we keep trying to get fuel at the pump/airport?

It doesn't add up. If all these consumers shift patterns, of course we'll have a major shift in business priorities. It also sets a good example for your peers if you make one choice per day for the environment, multiplying your individual impact. Either that or the government has to force the issue, so no one can have an unfair advantage by doing a bad thing.
My intuition says most airflow comes from the center(and drops linearly towards the tip of the blade and picks up at the blade)

i.e. there's no need to build a filter the size of the fan; you can cover "most" of the airflow by using something similar but extends 50-60% of blade length(pure guess) and the whole arrangement can be above the rotating plane (so easier build?)
As a young lawyer long ago, I was "picked" for the jury (that is, I wasn't struck) for a two-week capital murder trial. Also "picked" was one somewhat-older lawyer, who ended up as foreman.

Each prospective juror was interviewed individually by the lawyers and judge, with no one else in the courtroom. From their questioning, I had the distinct impression that both the prosecutors and the defense counsel were OK with having a couple of lawyers on the jury, to help make sure that the non-lawyer jurors followed the judge's instructions about the burden of proof, etc.

And that's how it turned out: A couple of times during deliberations, a juror would say, "Well, I think what happened was X," and either the foreman or I would gently ask, "um, do we have any evidence of that?" Another time, a juror said, "But we heard so-and-so testify that Y happened," and the other lawyer and I had to remind everyone that the judge had instructed us to disregard that testimony.

(I was very pleased to see that after just a few times, we two lawyers didn't have to provide such reminders, because other jurors would do so first.)
As explained elsewhere, our staffing business was by far our best product line. Staffing is a notoriously people-hungry enterprise. They're required to sell large employers, nationally, to handle the logistics, to drive job-seeker acquisition, and much more. This is not a pure tech undertaking.

> Distribution of an app that processes personal data without a valid data privacy statement is illegal in the EU

Is that really true? For example data processors are bound by GDPR but I don't see how the author of this application is a data processor (or a data controller). In fact I'm not sure that legally "app that processes personal data" is the correct description here, considering the very specific meaning of "to process" in this context. If an email client run by a user on his own machine with no involvement of the vendor of that software requires "a valid data privacy statement", then so does probably the user's keyboard driver. And the text formatting engine. And the networking stack. Etc. etc.
