These are strong opinions and claims but you haven't provided any substantial arguments for them. Why should monarchy "be abolished entirely everywhere" if the monarchy has a clear support by a majority of the population in these places?

> Enough of these fairy tales about princesses, princes, and frog-kissing!

For many, the royals are actually important and beloved public figures who gives a voice to minorities and "the voiceless" that are easily forgotten by politicians, providing stability across generations and unity across political orientation. You may not respect them, but calling them "clowns" and "frog-kissing" without reason does not stimulate to good discussions
I use an i10 laptop with 16GB of RAM and I also use a 2012 macbook pro. Both running Linux. I am productive on both devices, so I would be very surprised if an M1 product would make me feel the need to switch away from an i10 (or i9) device. I do agree the M1 is quite neat though, just not a big deal for users that run tasks lighter than compiling a browser engine.
If your livelihood is based on equity in a private company, that’s already a problem.
It is a commodity though.

If oranges drop from $5/kg to $4/kg I am not calling it a crash.
It’s not a hard problem to notice or fix, probably just comes from people not using their site a lot. All you need to do is insert your content in a fib before a final “filler” div that has the same height as the floating footer. If your floating footer doesn’t have a fixed height (and there is some really good reason for that) a further hack is to measure it and then set the height of the filler div in js.

I thought about amending my earlier comment to mention apples iPhone subscription service. It's still a rent to own thing, but the trend here is clear: people don't really care about owning, they care about being able to afford the benefit of using the device at the most affordable upfront cost.

Anecdotally, I don't know a single person who has bought a DVD in years. And when people do buy media, they don't buy a disk but a digital license to the media on a store.

Another example? Gabe Newell famously said piracy is a convenience issue. People will pay for convenience. It's also why furniture rental companies (like Feather) are proliferating versus closing up shop. Flexibility is king, and ownership is the opposite of flexibility, it is liability.
You've created a totem there, and it's led to a lack of compassion.
Those 'crypto bros' may be nice, well-meaning people. Perhaps parents that thought they needed to get onto the bandwagon to set their kids up for life. Perhaps some kids that thought it was a sensible investment. Perhaps some desperate people that thought they might finally get a break.

How about some 'peace and love' mentality, rather than revelling in other people's losses?
I don't own any NFTs but I shall empathise with those who do.
I used to have prime and often place multiple orders per week. I cancelled prime when they made it no better than not having it (add-on items + longer shipping times + "not available for prime"), and only used it for higher value purchases (maybe what they wanted but my net spend was way lower). Now, I hardly order from them at all since you can't really trust them for higher value stuff as this thread is all about.

I still order like usb cables and cloths to clean my glasses. That's pretty much it. Looking at the parent and grandparent comments and my experience, I'd say they've become a flea market, where maybe you can get a good price of some throwaway crap you don't care about, but wouldn't use for anything of value. And in reality, that's what a collection of fly-by-night shady sellers is. It should not be a surprise. It's a shame though, in principle the ordering process and older style prime delivery is way better than going to a store for almost everything.

For the open source work I am familiar with, the initial work to get the project off the ground is done by a small group of people who are physically collocated. Same with startups - I am seeing a lot of founding teams these days where founders are physically near each other and eventually plan to scale up with remote teams once the product has some traction.

Happy to bookmark this comment and check back in 2025 if startups are getting created in person or are fully remote right from the genesis.
That famous quote from Fight Club seems especially relevant here…

Reproduced below, for those who haven’t seen the film:

Narrator : [20:35] A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Woman on Plane : Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?

Narrator : You wouldn't believe.

Woman on Plane : Which car company do you work for?

Narrator : A major one.
One of the best additions to browsing I've used on a Mac. Found it via a search engine (remember when search was useful?) when sites began trying to keep users from right-clicking on links / opening links in new tabs. Highly recommended.
Can it simply be that eventually Ukrainians understand that the deal was always like I have described it in the previous post?

Ukraine is very diverse country. It still considers citizens of Crimea and LDNR of its own, but I'm pretty sure these are now hating Ukraine passionately. Especially after many, many acts of Ukraine bombing Donetsk in absense of any sensible military goal.

If the boys and girls from Kievan twitter hate Russia with passion, that is survivable.
agreed. i'm in a wave of people leaving me voicemails telling me to never call them again. there's more than one victim per call for these guys.
I'm with you. Ignoring the inconvenience of sorting through junk mail every day, just thinking about the energy required to move all that trash to people's mailboxes, only to then be thrown in the trash and moved to a landfill, makes me itchy.
I wrote that article some time ago: http://const.me/articles/simd/simd.pdf
(Note, I get really petty about this stuff)

My solution is like said above: return it to sender. If your post person is trying to keep it your problem, make it USPS' problem: when returning to sender put it in a postbox that your post person can't gate-keep.

I've personally had pretty good success with this, albeit it does require consistent effort for a while.
> If you don't want to do that, the best/simplest situation is almost certainly incorporating in the place where the founders actually live permanently.

In general, I strongly agree.

In the particular case, however, there could be aspects that speak against it. Planing to have employees from another country might be such an aspect. If your company resides in country A and wants to employ someone from a country B, there are typically three options, but what is actually possible and which rules apply depents on the actual regulation in both countries: a) The easiest is as a contractor. But this might not be legal, if the work-relation has the characteristics of an employment. b) The person from country B gets an employment contract of the company in country A, but is despatched to country B. This often requires that the person has a work visa for country A (unless inside the EU for EU citizens). c) The company establishes a subsidiary company in country B that employs the person.

The first thing I would do is seeking for advise from your local chambers of commerce and then from the foreign chambers of commerce of the countries you are planning to employ people from.
> ... for some brands the connection between their brand name and a device they cannot control the presentation of... larger problem.

They should not have this control. Lamborghini doesn't get to stop crypto kids from using non-Lamborghini paint to put anime girls on their cars. Apple shouldn't get to stop users from using non-Apple software to draw pixels on their screens. The "their" refers to the owner of the product, not the owner of the brand.
It would also be interesting to see what legal basis (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/) under GDPR they use to collect the data in the first place, or whether they simply don't collect that data from the EU.
I don't think this is a very good take.

1) Startups may not give you the full picture, but it's very unlikely they are going to straight up 'lie' to you - that would be bad, and likely illegal.

2) Yes, almost anything can happen with equity, and when it gets shifty, bad things will happen so you have to have a reasonable take on it - which, admittedly is really hard for most people.

I think it's better to understand that there's going to be a lot of risk in equity, and it's not something you should bank on too hard.
Maybe it's airline dependent, but I can't remember the last time I went on a long-haul flight that didn't have charging options. Some airlines are even starting to add USB-C to every seat so you don't need to futz around with an AC adapter (although given the proliferation of different charging capabilities, it might still be handy to use AC if you want to charge quickly)
I can’t agree they are arcane. Back when the tax form was filed on paper it was a postcard-sized form: calculate one way on one side, the other way on the other side, and pay the lower amount.

And the point is that once you are established the laws are well known and understood by corporate lawyers (in other words the opposite of arcane, at least for lawyers) and so will be easier to deal with for all parties.

If you’re starting a small business just incorporate in the state you live in. If you’re starting a startup, don’t go for a false economy.
> its a waste of time to split hairs over that, its hyperbole.

It's fine that you don't care about the difference, but for people that aren't particularly in touch with the computer components market it's very useful to point out the difference between a stable price plummeting below the norm and a brand new price plummeting toward the norm.

I wish there were a way to list all previous inhabitants of my apartment address who still get mail sent here and somehow tell USPS "no, they no longer live here". I routinely, in both of my previous apartments, receive(d) mail for at least 3-5 people who lived here before me. Many of them important documents, like from the DMV. Yes I know I can "mark" them with a pen/sharpie as having moved, but I don't always bring a pen to my mailbox with me to do that with. There must be an easier way.
I worked in automotive for a couple of years. They still spend a lot of money for certified C/C++ compilers.
Communism works great, it just doesn't scale. Finland guarantees every adult citizen free education, housing, heating, electricity, water, Internet, healthcare, and food. They also provide extra funding for hobbies and irregular needs like furniture and appliances. In Israel, communal settlements called kibbutz hold all wealth is held in common and reinvest all profits in the settlement.
> they effectively have a one use “sorry, but they’ve gone too far, I’m dismissing this government” card they can play

In reality, they don't have that card. The day the monarch tries to dismiss an elected government will be the day the monarchy is abolished and the UK becomes a republic.
People can work for startups for whatever reason they want.

Equity will be worth something or not based on a variety of factors, the more in tune you are with those things the better.

It's not 'I'm gonna be rich' vs. 'Lottery ticket' - there are ways to understand it.

That said, I'd put a high risk premium on equity.
I agree with everything you said.

Telegram is outright lying of course. I can't remember if WhatsApp uses E2E encryption by default still or not. If not they are equivalent, but telegram isn't better in any meaningful way.
> I love how being compliant, taxes, accounting, other regulations seems to be such a hard thing for people looking for millions of VC money while litterally thousands of companies do so every day.

Here is the thing: Most of these "startups" are never raising any money, let alone millions. The burden of regulation should be split into pre-raising and post-raising. (Many governments have figured that out with income, like if you have less than xx.xxx per year, you can get away from some reporting).
I have not heard of yes. It sounds like it just repeats a string infinitely. What would be a common use case? Or is it intended to be a lego brick for bigger composed commands?

The mailer itself and the address can be printed separately. I didn't dive deep enough to confirm it, but I think these companies print the mailer and USPS prints the addresses.

You cannot run an online business relying on location services (e.g. Google My Business) without a mailing address to send a verification post card. Many states also require a mailing address to send a driver license. Many countries require a mail address for an online national id (e.g. https://www.realme.govt.nz/ in New Zealand).
> Can it simply be that eventually Ukrainians understand that the deal was always like I have described it in the previous post?

That still leaves my same question. If their understanding is the same as yours, why did they not surrender on day 3 as you said they should?

Could it be that Putin has activated their national identity by threatening them into collective self-defense?

And now that they have held their own despite being brutalized, do you think they will forget their achievements and hand over their lives to their attackers? Perhaps they have gained more self-respect than that. Perhaps they see themselves as more than just collateral damage in some great power struggle.

> Ukraine is very diverse country. It still considers citizens of Crimea and LDNR of its own, but I'm pretty sure these are now hating Ukraine passionately. Especially after many, many acts of Ukraine bombing Donetsk in absense of any sensible military goal.

Unfortunately there is no one to tell us what Donbas Ukrainians think, free of propaganda. But it will become clear soon enough.

For now all I have is this poll [1], conducted in January, which says a plurality of Donbas residents prefer to be part of Ukraine. I can't imagine that sentiment towards Russia has warmed since Putin's horrific invasion. In fact, polls say it's overwhelmingly negative [2,3], which is hardly surprising given Putin has destroyed these people's lives for no reason.

The issue isn't just whether you actually are a US Person; it's whether banks, etc., believe that you're not. Risk-averse institutions may just avoid doing business with anyone who seems like they might be, and can use whatever proxies they like to decide who they don't want to transact with.
An obviously counterfeit listing is the unsubtle way of doing fraud. The subtle way is piggybacking of a real listing, but then shipping a counterfeit for slightly cheaper. Or shipping it for the same price, and making use of the fact that FBA inventory is commingled.
I’ve had the Kill Sticky bookmarklet handy as the first item in the bookmarks bar of every browser I’ve used for years and it is phenomenal in how simple and useful it is.

Interesting. Another approach might be to apply mnemonic techniques (like method of loci) to leeches to make them memorable so they're no longer leeches.
Yes this technically degrades the moons orbit. Do it long enough and hard enough and the moon will hit the earth. Shouldn't be of any concern though, because the kinetic energy the moons movement is carrying is insanely high.
You pipe it as standard input to a command that asks you lots of yes/no questions on the command line to save on typing yes repeatedly.

A lot of tools have their own command line flag to do this, e.g. apt-get has -y or --assume-yes
I think it’s the rotational inertia of the earth, not the kinetic energy of the moon. Since the earth is spinning faster than the moon orbits, the tides actually are pulled ahead of the bulge the moon creates, transferring energy from the earth to the moon.

Eventually the earth will be tidally locked to the moon (just like the moon is to the earth), and the moon will be in a higher orbit.

I guess the turbines will speed this up? As they’ll keep the bulge farther ahead of the moon.

EDIT: Wikipedia link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_acceleration
Even if we accept that it's just about the names, it's a weird mea culpa. Obviously they knew the names, because they accidentally printed them. So what they're apologising for is making it so obvious that they knew the names, or, to put it another way, they're apologising for failing to provide the illusion of anonymity to people who were not anonymous at all.

For a privacy-focused browser, that is definitely odd.
This post is just bait to get the brainlets to rage-post.
Why Rust easily optimizes out smart pointers where C++ cannot?
I think that this example can be both entertaining and educating. Smart pointers are often used in high-performance code (like browser engines) so it is interesting to learn how their usage impacts the generated code.

Here is a simple function that adds two numbers using smart pointers. Rust compiles it into two instructions [1], while C++ creates about 100 instructions [2] including unnecessary memory locks.

I wonder, is there a way to improve C++ code so that the smart pointers get optimized out? Did I make some mistake that prevents optimization?

> Finally, the third, and most pernicious situation in which there is too much planning is when planning becomes its own end. This can happen because individuals in organizations get more reward for planning work than actually executing on it. It might be seen that the execution is the “easy part”, and can be done by anyone, whereas the grand visionary (or “architect”) is the real cause of success.

I've experienced this happening due to an influx of people into an organization who simply can't execute -- middle managers come in with impressive resumes but little understanding of the problems that need to be solved. When results aren't delivered, they default to extensive planning processes because it creates an appearance of work. There's lots of tangible outputs (market studies, reams of wiki pages and documentation that are written, fancy slide decks, plenty of presentations...) yet nothing that provides actual value to customers. They know execution is the hard part, they just can't do it, so they stay in planning mode endlessly in order to provide an illusion of productivity, and to keep their job.
The International Association of Better Business Bureaus is listed as a 501(c)(6) and their EIN is 83-3454617 but they don't provide any links to their financial reports or required filings on their website and trying to search for their Form 990 comes up blank, even on the IRS website.

I bought an intel iMac several months ago when they suddenly went missing from the Apple Store with no 27” replacement. It has 8GB of RAM, yet is somehow faster than my M1 Max (16GB) at compiling my current Xcode project (a Unity game). The battery life is good, but if you’re pushing it hard it isn’t that great unfortunately. For web dev, sure it can go most of the day. Also it’s extremely heavy and thick. I wish it was thinner, it doesn’t fit in the bags I have for my older 15” MBPs. It has an HDMI port, which I will never ever use, one less USB C port (which really sucks ass), and with all the dumb thickness they didn’t include the one “retro” port I would actually use daily, USB type A. It doesn’t get very hot at full load (CPU mining for days/weeks) so I’m not sure why it’s so thick. The old Intel versions should have been in the mega-thick chassis, but the M1 doesn’t really benefit.

My favorite part of the new 16” MBP is actually the screen. It’s so incredible I struggle to describe it. When moving the mouse it feels more instantaneous, everything is smoother. So don’t FOMO on the CPU, it’s good but not the killer feature.
I've never experienced that. I have never noticed fake products and have never had a single issue with shipping. Maybe the categories I search are special in some way?
