lots of exchanges provide crazy amounts of leverage. Kucoin lets you have a margin loan that's 10x your capital. I'm not sure this is unique to FTX.

The exchange itself doesn't need 1000s of people. Coinbase went on a hiring spree in 2021, but it didn't seem to have a clear strategy for all that headcount.
This might help:

>Total Cookie Protection offers additional privacy protections beyond those provided by our existing anti-tracking features. Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP), which we launched in 2018, works by blocking trackers based on a maintained list. If a party is on that list, they lose the ability to use third-party cookies. ETP was a huge privacy win for Firefox users, but we’ve known this approach has some shortcomings. If a tracker for some reason isn’t on that list, they can still track users and violate their privacy. And if an attacker wants to thwart ETP, they can set up a new tracking domain that isn’t on the list. Total Cookie Protection avoids these problems by restricting the functionality for all cookies, not just for those on a defined list.

I'm intrigued by the business model. Making a living as a content creator is difficult. Setting a limited number of members on an exclusive illustration series is likely to be more effective than giving away free illustrations and hoping someone will pay you.

I've been using this for a couple weeks now. It's clearly in its infancy, there's a lot still to do. But even with what it is so far, it's very well done.

I'm seeing other users commenting in particular that its syncing between player devices is much more robust than any other tools offer.
It is almost like an economy that gets most of its revenue from oil and gas would want oil and gas price to go up so that it makes more money.

You would almost think high oil prices hurt the US and West more than it hurts Russia.

That can't be the case though because we have such brilliant and competent leaders that have thought through all the variables as opposed to making rash emotional decisions because they are also addicted to social media like the general population.
> You keep trying to convince me and others that companies ARE NOT DOING THIS ANALYSIS.

I am not arguing that they don't do "buy vs build" analysis. What I am saying is that they stop here, where it would be smart if they look for other options.

> No one does this or would do this, because it makes zero financial sense.

This is what I am saying that companies DON'T DO, and I am arguing that not doing this is short-sighted. There are plenty of strategic reasons that make it reasonable to invest in open source projects:

- It is good PR. [0]

- It can help with hiring: [1]

- It can be used as a negotiation tactic when dealing with different vendors. This is just an extension of the "Smart companies commoditize their complements" [2] idea from Joel Spolsky. Going back to the 1Password example: even if you still want to continue using 1Password, the "threat" of a viable open source alternative is enough for them to not try to jack up prices. By investing small sums in open source projects, you might be able to negotiate the price down on the closed services that you depend on.

- It reduces the risk of becoming locked into solutions from third-party vendors. Even if your company "keeps going back to Github", it might be wise to contribute to the development of an alternative as a backup plan. So, if push comes to shove and Github outages become so problematic that the they affect your business, there is a way out.

Not to mention that it can be tax-deductable, so you can get all these benefits without really affecting your bottom line.

> Isn’t a hybrid the dirtiest to manufacture?

not sure, could be. with a hybrid he was happy that he got to spend less money on fuel, and in turn produce less pollutants. he would've bought an ICE (and charged it from their own solar), but those were much, much more expensive than the car he got.

nonetheless the point was that some people might not be convinced by climate change, but a lot of people want to breath cleaner air.

They have a private experience setup available(not private mode).I don't remember name but as soon as you install edge, it asks what level privacy you want to manage. That I guess should be fine.
This whole thing happened about 4 years ago now, and the original application was written several years before that, before the rise of React and Angular, which have BECOME popular (IMNTBHO) because they try to address the gaping hole which is the frontend of using Java for web apps.

Around that same timeframe, I tried using JHipster, which sort of attempts to do for Java everything that a Rails app stack does for Ruby. It took 45 minutes for my top-of-the-line Dell laptop/workstation to bootstrap it, and it was... unapproachable.

Phones stop working for lots of reasons other than "I've been fired". I'd still show up to work. It'd be pretty bad if your phone indeed had just stopped working, and rather going in to get it fixed, you just assumed you were fired and then stopped going into work, thus actually getting fired for not showing up.
We've had 0 issues hiring for Rust, despite the vast majority of the company having no prior experience with it (or some experience on the side). The learning curve isn't that bad, maybe you just haven't dedicated the right time or you've had trouble learning it in isolation.

It’s almost the same as erasing a phone.

There’s a read-only partition that contains system files and default applications, and a read-write partition that contains files and apps you’ve added. The second gets erased, keeping the first.

The only Steam game in my library that still works now is Myst.

The list of Steam games that even supported macOS at all was already quite short, but now Portal, Portal 2, Team Fortress, the entire Half-Life series, and quite a few others will no longer run.

The switch to Apple silicon machines also makes running them in a VM tricky. Even though Windows supports running x86 code on Arm hardware, the mix of architectures inside the VM creates new problems, particularly for Steam.
Completely agree, but I think this case is a bit more subtle than that. £250 is a gambler's punt - "I don't understand this, but I can afford to lose £250 to see what happens." When that seems to be going well and people are explaining how your £250 is now worth £450 because X, Y and Z has happened, I suspect it's fairly easy to start thinking you understand enough to invest more without it feeling like a punt anymore.
Yeah I guess it's just interesting because there's a difference between saying its "immoral" vs "illegal". An Act of Parliament has been passed (Nationality and Borders Act 2022) which gives the legal backing for this, explicitly says that refugees which still have a pending asylum application can be moved to a "safe third country" which is willing to take the asylum responsibilities. Does this change your mind that the policy is legal, given that the information available has expanded to include, you know, all the Acts of Parliament?
This is probably more of a concern for people who aren't writing services/ professional devs. Otherwise, who cares, you pick a runtime (tokio) and you use it - runtime agnosticism isn't a real goal for any company.
It's his fault and the buck stops with him, but guess who is remaining employed?
The technical aspect of a startup hardly even matters as long as you get the job done. The first thing to understand before you start a startup is that it doesn't matter how much you love programming. It doesn't matter how beautiful your code is or how much time you spent writing it.

What matters is marketing. You can use Rust or JavaScript or whatever language you want but if you want to be successful, you will spend more time thinking about how to market. Customers don't care what language a product is written in (unless it's a developer facing product). Customers care about getting the job done.

I know the argument here is that Rust offers long term stability but if you are a startup, you will be changing the product so rapidly and adding more and more features, the sheer level of growth will make your product unstable.

I am not against someone using Rust for their new startup IF they are already comfortable in it and know the ins and outs of Rust. Rust is way more complex than JS. The learning curve is considerably steeper. And that matters because if you use a great language and write it poorly, no matter what guarantees it offers, you won't get a better product than if you wrote it in a language you understood well.

So if you are a startup, don't think about the language. Think about what will sell, how you will sell etc. If you can't sell it, it doesn't matter if you wrote it in a particular fancy language. The technical aspects of a product are rarely a sales increasing factor.
What is it that you actually want to do with your CS knowledge? No one necessarily needs to simultaneously know the details behind databases and raytracing. Do you want to code apps? Because that's a very different story from knowing a bunch of CS trivia.

Pick something practical you want to achieve, like web development, or mobile development, or gaming development, and just start learning those skills. Don't try to know everything. Look up and take courses on sites like uDemy, LinkedIn Learning, Code Academy, Frontend Masters, and so on.

As far as bootcamps go, it's not necessarily a bad idea to go to one, but just know that you don't necessarily need to do a bootcamp. In terms of hard skills, all of what you are taught at a bootcamp can be learned for cheap or free online. In my experience as a bootcamp graduate, the real value of a bootcamp is immersing yourself in the subject with a bunch of other people who have the same goal as you and networking with them. I would recommend a bootcamp only if you can easily afford to go to one.

In other words, I think your tentative plan seems solid. Just make sure you're focusing on the right knowledge and less of the academic poppycock you spent 4 years on at university.

> To be honest, I’ve always felt like our CS course was inferior.

If it's inferior, it's probably not by much. Most CS courses even in America have no idea how to teach people effectively or give them direction towards an actual career.

You could tell the cops weren't happy about it. These were women in their mid 50's and up who worked front desk jobs, not really a risk of violence.

All they wanted to do was go get their personal items and say goodbye to their peers. Some of them were forced to leave phones and purses behind and wait a week for them to be mailed to them.

As every evil act gets blasted worldwide instantaneously, one has to think that we as a culture need to put an end to publicizing the name/photo of the attacker. It's been proven enough times that it empowers others to do the same, for the fame and recognition of the "nobody".
> Can you give any example of Hungary and Poland vetoing in good faith ?

Hungary and Poland were the only countries opposing the unlimited migration. Hungary is the only country that pushes back on sanctions that harms us in Germany more than them in Russia. Austria and Netherlands were opposing a huge debt package to fight corona.

> Lately it seems they only cover own ass, while all other states are in agreement.

Maybe state governments are in the agreements, but not the majority of population. In Germany, some topics were truly polarizing, governments frequently voted for topics that had domestic majority against it, and Hungary and Poland voted for what represents the will of German population majority.

On the other hand, in capitalistic economic theory, the only way to get a sane system is if everyone acts only in its own self-interest. Asking humans to do something for "common or higher good" usually leads to one party exploiting the other.

> When only you see a problem its often the case you are the problem not the other way around.

I doubt that in Europe, we ever had that strong consensus between European citizens. It's usually that governments have strong consensus that is not always reflected in the population.

Instead of ditching veto right, I would rather go the other direction, to the more Swiss style direct democracy, where power would be brought back to people, and away from the governments. If citizen could decide on important topics, we would not need veto at all.

> Ps. I say that as a Polish citizen.

As a German citizen, I wish you more power to your citizens, as opposed to EU or polish goverment, even when we have different preferences.
It's kind of like the returning shopping carts vs leaving them next to your car when you're done with them debate.

Seems like he is ready for the doing, just pick something you want to build and start building. You can read as you go ;).
YC was peak funny money. I work extensively with startups and it was increasingly apparent in the last few years that the main objective of the startup was to raise funding, not to build product or deliver value.

The number of "unicorns" that will be around in a decade is likely in the low double digits at best.
True if your goal is to absolutely eliminate cryptocurrency. If you're trying to ban them from the ordinary economy and 99% of retail consumers, enforcement is definitely with its means.
The issues outlined in this essay are why, as an organization, it's important that if you want your members to be ambitious, you need to be positive, cooperative, constructive, and helpful.

I don't mean "don't provide any critical feedback" or "competition is bad", I mean, the point of you having an organization is to have a group with some goal, and if you want to accomplish that, you should cooperate. If you're going to provide critical feedback, do it with the aim of improving things, not just to tear things apart.

That is not money for free.
Over here in North America is common. Been to so many companies last few years and it’s always escort out of building right away.

The one I remember most is how our coworkers coffee was still there for like a week. She had made it literally right before getting called in for the layoff!

Apparently main thing is they don’t want them to start a scene, talk shit about things, and cause issues with their computer access
Yeah, but in trades you have to climb in hot attics, deal with sewers, work outside, etc. And you have to put in a full days work. How many of us developers actually put in a full 8+ hours? I know that I don’t. I can usually get my assigned work done in about four hours. Can you imagine an electrician or plumber or doctor or lawyer only working 4 hours a day? It’s insane how much I get paid for what I actually do.
I don't think you understand how much money google makes :P they might slow growth, but I really can't see them laying off people
Let me tell it differently. I have seen people fired or laid off and exactly one was taken away immediately. The exact same company fire also different people, without walking them out immediately via security.

I have heard of one more person fired that way - it was by American company and pretty much everyone else treated it as great injustice. Team members met with him in nearby pub pretty much right after.
I’ve been laid off and it’s varied between 6 months notice and 2 weeks.

Note, whether you get walked out the door right away or later, in these types of job you get a severance package.

In my case where it was two weeks it was work 2 weeks, go home keep getting paid for another 30 days, then start your paid 60 day WARN period, then actually separate and receive severance of ~9 months pay plus heath insurance for 1 year.

This assumes that the employee has been working for the company for more than 2 years. If it's less than that, they have no such protection and can be fired for any reason whatsoever.
You hear about that in "high status" organizations. Most companies cannot get away with that, and treat their developers much better.
> It’s the most confusing, horrible, and neglected part of the OS.

The worst part is: It's not even neglected. It's been undergoing constant changes, and while they're mostly for the better, the constant stream of changes really highlights how poorly thought out it was in the first place, and makes finding anything an exercise in frustration.

1. The part of the universe that we can see is finite

2. Electrons are all identical to each other, it's not right to talk about the wavefunction of one electron rather there is a wavefunction for all electrons. To me the profound things about entanglement is that entanglement of fermions makes solid matter possible. Entanglement of bosons is what makes lases shine.

5. Collapsing the wavefunction is permanent, you don't get do do it all over again.

Would “factory reset” mean reverting to the version of the OS installed at the factory? That is no longer a viable option. “Erase all content and settings” is clumsier language but more accurate.
At a long ago company I worked at for quite a few years, there were various periods when you knew layoffs were going to be happening. There were also rare occasions when logins (these were terminals) would go out for some reason. When the two things intersected, it was very nervous making until you determined everyone was out.

> But I find this implementation to be superior to Explorer or any of the Linux stuff.

Thats crazy to me. Explorer is 1000x better in my opinion. In fact, explorer and window-pane snapping / window resize rules are about the only things I prefer on Windows over Mac.

Specifically for this use case, you just click the address bar and it becomes copy-able in Windows. No need to edit any preferences to get that feature either.
Wouldn't "a rewarding career" qualify as long-term, intrinsic wellbeing? Cynics may believe no such thing exists, but I don't think it's a universal view.

Of course, there's always risk that the job changes and becomes worse. In a Series D company, we know that could happen at any time.

OP probably knows this too :)
Dashboards are really useful when you’re trying to distribute a set of metrics that large numbers of people actually need to know and agree on in order to do their jobs. Most metrics aren’t like this, so there are a lot of bad dashboards, but they definitely have their place.

Edit: A good example of this is something like incoming shipments for a warehouse. Management all the way down to warehouse workers need to know what is slated for delivery, what’s already been delivered in the last few days, and what’s late.
