If I had to guess, I'd say the biggest contributor to poor unit economics for small business vs startups is credit losses.

Startups usually have tons of cash in the bank to underwrite against, which made them actually very safe to lend to, unintuitively enough (that underwriting model was Brex's original innovation, remember?).

Whereas small businesses usually don't, but still need a reasonable credit limit to spend with, so they end up having to underwrite using traditional data sources like credit scores and whatnot, and they probably haven't been able to develop a sophisticated enough model quickly enough to curb losses, and the recession certainly isn't going to make things any easier.

So, anticipating further accelerated credit losses down the line, this is them throwing in the towel on that whole experiment.
Still doesn't answer why I should care about Wasmer. I've already got several virtual machines on my computer such as the JVM. What does Wasmer have to offer?
First of all, plenty of people did come forward, in the Nassar case, the Penn State case, the Catholic Church cases, the SBC, they were just basically ignored. The FBI has done multiple investigations of how they f'd up the Nassar case so horrifically, and plenty of women stepped forward under their own name and accused people high up in the SBC of assaulting them, everyone just ignored them, treated them as problems to be silenced rather than investigated. This is definitely a case where more investigation is warranted.

But second of all, most of the accused are not in jail. The infamous SBC list of 700 names were mostly open-source people involved in criminal charges (though some civil charges were also included) but plenty of people who credibly covered up other people's sexual assaults (about the worst thing that could be imagined for Lubbers, based on this article- and to be clear this article does not accuse him of that) are not in jail. Paige Patterson, for example, is not in jail. In fact, he preached at one of the most prominent SBC churches- 1st Baptist in Dallas- the Sunday after the Guidepost report came out. Patterson was fired from SWBTC after being credibly accused of covering-up a sexual assault 15 years earlier, which is definitely something that I would support if evidence emerges that Lubbers did that sort of thing. But without that evidence, I'm just not sure if Lubbers is more victim or violator, you know?
3 sec on 1 to 200 ms on 32 cores on the other hand smells like things could be better.
Just because some professional group decides require 1500 hours for licensing to protect their profession monopoly doesn't mean the profession is anymore important then one that requires 100.
I came here to say this... maybe consider a rebrand/rename? I don't suggest that lightly, but their name has some serious negative (for some people) connotations (not for me... it's politics, which I frankly just don't care about, life is too short). I instantly assumed their business was tied to some political allegiance with EU/Brexit finance/payments, which alone made me almost not click into the article. I read the article and I'm confused why they are called "Brex". Odd choice. For a sizeable section of the market, they might as well name themselves NaZEE (not that I agree necessarily). Just being honest with how I see it. They really aren't doing themselves any favours with the current name.
Around the 16th century it was a place that had an unusually large collection of intellectuals, misfits, artists, and eccentrics.

Paul Graham talks in one of his essays about going to Florence and it expecting it to be like Davinci wrote about and it not living up. At the time of the writing I think it was implied SF might be the new Florence.
We're a startup on Brex. Not sure if we're about to get the boot.

If you're going to service startups as Brex, 80-90% are going to just cost you money and then disappear when they fail. Not sure how they're going to turn a profit this way even if a small percentage get big.
Your most recent example is from 15 years ago?
This is a high priority item. It sounds like you're using a recently released Mac OS X version. One of the great fears has always been the possibility of Apple breaking the UNIX system interface, like they did to the Go team in the past. So I'd like to get any issues resolved here as quickly as possible. I left a comment on the GitHub issue about next steps.
Completely agree. For deployment I'd strongly prefer a well-tested library with good side-channel protection rather than rolling my own. I use Common Lisp for researching and understanding algorithms.

Very nice page BTW. I've written C25519 code and I now understand my own code better because of your logical, step-by-step presentation.
This is a bit extreme. An estate-planning attorney at any sized firm can do a good job, and using an attorney is good. But wills, trusts, etc. are well-established areas of law, to the extent that in the U.S. at least, anyone can scratch out a perfectly legal will on a piece of notebook paper.
Your tenses are off. You will get it; and it is absolutely true.
I never called BSA and SBC cults, but I don't think that firing people because they are part of a cult, absent any other evidence of any wrong-doing, is a good idea: it seems like it would only feed into their isolation, sense of persecution, etc. It would be a concrete step that the cult leader can point to about how the world is not to be trusted and pull the flock closer to the leader.

As for gullibility: would you support firing anyone who has been the VICTIM of domestic violence? A lot of the ways that cults convince people to stay are similar to the ways that domestic abusers convince their victims to stay, the methods are remarkably similar. So would being a victim of long-running abusive relationship be a sign that one isn't top tier talent in a job? Should all of them be fired? If you find yourself horrified by that idea, then I would suggest that you are being rather too aggressive towards cults, and forgetting that probably a majority of the cults members are more victim than perpetrator, though doubtless many are both to some degree.
To be pedantic, you probably can’t pay your mortgage on credit, or cash flow from paychecks if you lose your job.

Maybe I just come from an old school financial philosophy, but I don’t understand this aversion to being financially independent. The idea of someone making 6 figures but being completely reliant on the credit card company in an emergency is pretty wack.
Realistically their business would not be able to function without tech giants funding it. The only reason those tech giants fund it is to both continue to promote their own products and to reap the benefit of arguing that it is to foster competition. This is a longterm no-win situation for Mozilla.

I guess I could see government drafting bids for developing browser technology (make a national security argument like this stupid bill does) that Mozilla would be able to win. Of course then we'd have articles written by people freaking out about government influence.
You don't have to justify your decision to me, but I'm also not going to feel sorry for you.
> They’re exactly the sort of thing that even very strict zoning codes allow.

My experience working with commercial real estate leads me to believe that your experience with strip malls is driving your consideration here.

Strict or Not Strict don't encompass what zoning does. Different jurisdictions deal with the issue in significantly different ways. Plenty of urban locations do not allow for strip-mall style commercial plazas that aren't also mid-rise buildings. You wouldn't find a strip mall in an area zoned for heavy industrial use, or a place zoned for a residential subdivision - strict or not strict doesn't come into the picture.
Just pony up for Cleanshot - it's an absolute joy to use, extremely customisable and they ship updates at an impressive rate.
The report mentions that they are HNWI. Defined in Wikipedia by: High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs): People or households who own liquid assets valued between $1 million and $5 million.

I assume liquid assets doesn't account for Real-Estate?
You haven't gone wrong, those are equal in F_61.

226 / 9
= (226*34) / (9*34)
= 7684 / 306
= 7684 / 1 (since 306 = 1 mod 61)
= 59 / 1 (since 7684 = 59 mod 61)

I think y3=2888/7 is a typo for 2888/27, which also equals 55 by a similar calculation (1/27 = 52 mod 61).
>Did you read the blog post at all?

Did you read the bill at all? That's more important than the Google-funded PR piece.

This bill they are promoting contains nationalistic or sinophobic text. I could see a targeted party like Apple moving their argument from 'It would negatively impact user experience' to 'China could hack our users if we allow other browser engines' and it'd be totally cool under this bill.

It's a shit bill with a very narrow scope that's easily evaded.
Were you giving money to BSA at a time when you knew they were covering up the abuse?

Many Catholics stopped attending church when they found out what had happened.

Because what should Google do now that they know? They can do a great amount of good.

Most people are in a position to do something. I don’t see it any different for Google.
Oddly enough, yes. Don't judge; nerds come in all types.

I can't say I was intimately familiar, but at the level of reading books and trade press as good enough for the statements I'm making.

You don't need a lot of depth of knowledge to know when a culture completely changed. If you go outside and see a Toyota Camry and another Toyota Camry a week later, you can't tell whether the car is the same one. On the other hand, if one day, it's a Porsche, and the next week, and 18-wheeler, you can be pretty sure something changed....
You're basically saying it's a choice to live with someone you love, and to raise someone you love, and you should only do so if you are already financially stable.

If I chose to live with and marry the love of my life, and the results is that I live paycheck to paycheck, is that still a choice? I already said that we BOTH work second jobs to pay for our choice, and I'd argue your comment degrades the troubles that my family is going through to achieve our goals with the money that we're working hard for.

I can see people viewing the cost of IVF and seeing it as being wasteful, but when you're in this situation and you've been trying for 5+ years, it's a hard feeling and situation to convey. And ultimately, I find it unfair to say a couple that naturally has a child is "forced" to pay for daycare -- and that is acceptable... but a family who wants to have a child can't pay near the same amount to have the child they want -- that's a choice!....
I once did a progress dialog for a Windows app. It had a delay so it wouldn't even show until 0.5 seconds had elapsed - if the operation completed in that time, you never saw the pop-up. Once the dialog appeared it would stay on screen for at least a second so you wouldn't get freaked out by a sudden flash, even if the operation completed immediately after the 0.5 second delay.
>similar to a underclocked Ryzen 1600

in reality its below 2013 Haswell performance clock for clock (as seen in CINEBENCH vs 2.3GHz i7 4850HQ), except it tops out at 2.5GHz while anyone can buy $30 Xeon E3-1231 v3 @ 3.40GHz. No wonder it got aborted in the west and relegated to pretending being homegrown Chinese Zhaoxin CPU. At least Chinese actually got a backup plan in case of full embargo after Taiwan invasion, something Russia can only dream of right now.
> The policy cited here is more about no longer being a good fit for "traditional" small businesses.

Of which you, nor anyone else here, can clearly define.

Hilarious, indeed.
I suspect a lot of Democrats are going to be voting Republican for the very first time.

Just like Republicans had the term "RINO"s, we've got the same thing going on. A lot of classic liberals would be labeled today a DINO.

The current extremism is real.
He's right. This was obvious to anyone who wasn't instantly blinded by the promises of getting rich quick or the FOMO around it.
I think the current product is too niche but the tech is nice so I expect some kind of pivot in the future.

He's right, for a change.
I think he's mostly right here in identifying the problem. I'd agree with the linked comments on this post that the solution (and AICOA as discussed by the link for the post) is likely bad/inadequate.
>If so, we should also have a word with 1.2 billion catholics.

Yes, we should
Good to see at least one other follower of S2 Underground on HN!
There are 1000 things that have been around for 1 year.

There are 10 things that have been around for 10 years.

I think it’s safe to say that there is less chance of any individual thing that’s 1 year old being around in 1 year than the things that have already survived for 10.
Sorry but no.

Common myth. The wall has never formed an England Scotland border.
It's not often these days that a project pops up where I start thinking about re-imagining our whole build/deployment strategy around it. This project easily hits that high watermark. I'm already thinking about how we re-architect a few existing projects around it to reap the benefits. Very excited to do some new projects with this as well and get to understand it in more detail. Many thanks!

PHP support would be beyond amazing, what would be required (top-level) to get that working/usable?

And on Mac you just press Cmd + Shift + 5. You get every option you want. Send to clipboard, documents, desktop, Preview.app (to annotate, make changes, whatever), Photoshop (if you have it). Draw boxes of what you want, select individual windows, select the whole desktop, even record video.

On Mac you can have exactly the same (and actually more feature rich) workflow.

Edit: Oh and I forgot one feature which is actually incredibly useful, you can even set a timer until it takes the screenshot. This is great if you need to interact with the window or show state with a highlight for example.
Here is something that's going to melt your mind (and maybe your body too): Global warming is real.

Now, I'm not claiming that global warming due to our CO2 emissions is real. (that's up for a debate that I won't get involved in). But our temperatures are raising every year (at lease across the Mediterranean) and consistently. I'm afraid they are getting a bit too high for stability and if the trend doesn't somehow reverse; there will be real tragic consequences.
Perhaps, but then, look at all the hate I'm getting for trying to start a family at 40. It's apparently a choice I met my (now) wife in our 30s, and it's a choice for us to have a child... However, if we meet 10 years prior and she _accidentally_ had a child, and had to pay $1500/month for daycare... That's different... In that situation they _might_ not have wanted a family, so they were forced... But we want a family, so we're not forced.
It's probable outcomes like this that make accountants and other professionals so hesitant to take a chance on neo banks and Fintech startups. Money is pretty important to a well functioning business. Being left in the lurch after developing processes for this sort of thing isn't a good look at all.
Many people do not use the power of Preview enough. It is pretty powerful to get most simple editing done easily - Crop, Mark/Scribble, Highlight, edit/arrange/fill in PDFs.

Same here. I use Emacs to write tons of notes. I rely heavily on tables, hyperlinks, timestamps and tags. Images are also possible, just not part of my workflow. All this is trivial, out of the box and I know it will still work many years down the road.

Even custom hyperlinks and text notes that refer to chunks inside PDFs are easy to do.
One thing that I saw that was kinda cool... cutouts in the floor of the reception area that had cable and fiber running under the floor into the data center, with glass floor tiles above, and some lights in the channel.

Kicker? It was all left over cable, and didn't go to or from anywhere.
Pet health insurance isn't an expected value positive sort of thing. There are often annual maxima as low as a couple thousand dollars.
> Wayland uses the MacOS approach. It allows the program to provide increased resolution buffers at integral scales. This forces fractional scales into framebuffer scaling.

There is work underway[0] to implement a protocol (wp-fractional-scale-v1) to support fractional scaling as well, which in combination with wp-viewport will allow fractional scaling without framebuffer scaling. Experimental support exists in wlroots, sway, kwin (KDE), and Mutter (GNOME).

> materially restrict, impede, or unreasonably delay the capacity of a business user to access or interoperate with the same platform, operating system, or hardware or software features that are available to the products, services, or lines of business of the covered platform operator that compete or would compete with products or services offered by business users on the covered platform;

TikTok and Snapchat compete with each other as "social networks". Size restraints aside, given that this law pretty much only affects like 4 companies, would this mean that Snapchat not building a cross-platform API for allowing an ad to be posted to TikTok would be illegal? It would seem like Snapchat is "materially restrict[ing]...the capacity of a business user to...interoperate with the same...software features that are available to the products...of the covered platform operator [TikTok] that compete...with products...offered by business users on the covered platform [Snapchat]".

Yeah, by default Steam only runs games that are made for Linux, you need to enable Proton to open up support for Windows games and use the ProtonDB to figure out the overall support for those games. Alot work flawlessly, some have known issues, and some flatout wont work, usually because of some anti-cheat software.
I imagine all the semi-conductor chip shortages likely played an integral role in the delay. It's been an odd year.

I get where you're trying to go, but it falls flat on its face as soon as you say it produces 15 potatoes a day. You're conflating creation of assets with a ballpark estimation of what someone might pay for a thing.

It's like they say with collectibles. That 15000 dollar comic book is worth squat til you find the buyer willing to pay $15000 for it.
