> He's just another rich cringe conservative.

Cringe, yes, he may be. Conservative? Maybe in the opportunist sense. At most, I think he's much closer to being libertarian and would otherwise be left leaning if the mainstream left hadn't drifted so far left. Elon really wants people to get out of the way of his view of progress. Yes, I'm sure ego is a part of that, but when is it not with anyone? I'm not even sure what Elon would be conserving other than whatever ability he has to launch cars into space or dig pointless tunnels.

A better example of a "cringe conservative" would be the My Pillow guy or even Lindsay Graham. And many would of course say Trump.

That's what most of the off-grid folks do these days.

This is literally how traditional finance works as well. If you have a leveraged position at a futures or options exchange, you absolutely will be liquidated as soon as your position gets close to being in the red. I 100% guarantee you that the CME or Goldman will not let you "ride things out".

Based on those numbers, it would be possible for every software engineer to be on the spectrum.

Right it’s basically just developer convenience.

So from your post it follows that if a developer can reason about the state changes of their app without redux, they should do so if there are performance concerns. Right?

I say this as a webdev who has written pure vanilla Js SPAs a decade ago, and someone who often uses Redux now on most projects today. So I know it’s totally possible to have performant mutable state management on a project that isn’t a mess - that’s how we always did stuff before redux.

That's not what it says, explicitly. I interpret it as "it will require most every useful online service to be account-based with hoops at that level, not just some random visitor or on every page".

Most of the sections are making reference to having to know the age of users as a pre-requisite to any web activity, in the UK, and I don't see it. Did I miss something or did she?

It doesn't. I assume your extension tries to use Chrome's connection to the user's Google account, but I'm not logged into my Google account.

Oh I absolutely agree, you can view my comment history if you don't believe me. But that is not how Musk has framed his support for free speech in the past. Musk has made it clear that he is "anti-moderation", the case of things like banning Trump from social media with the reasoning that moderation is not free speech. But this kind of behavior is de facto retaliatory employee censorship. You can't have your cake and eat it too, you are either pro free speech or not.

> His approach to remote-vs-in-office work is less that of a data-informed futurist and more that of an autocrat.

Nobody can read minds of course, but I think it is smart to not always take people at face value and consider all of their motives in saying anything. Personally I think Elon Musk is probably strongly supporting working in the office for 2 reasons. (Obviously pure speculation)

1) Forcing an ultimatum is a means of achieving a stealth layoff. Tesla probably wants a few percent of people to quit and trim expenses without losing investor confidence, as their stock price is of course inflated. (My prediction is that many businesses are probably going to be needlessly promoting working from the office to try and effectively achieve a round of layoffs by having a percentage of people quit)

2) The people who are the loudest about working from home probably are the biggest workplace trouble-makers about relative non-issues. To give an example: I know that this is genuinely a sensitive issue for some, but we all know that there are at least some people who are loudly trying to milk Covid-19 for eternity so they can stay home from work and meanwhile are going out to eat at restaurants and living life care-free.

Hi, I am looking at incorporating my startup using the German UG entity [0]. I currently do not have enough cash to form a full fledged GmbH (€25,000 + costs).

I am curious if anyone has raised outside VC into their UG company and what the process was like? Specifically I would like to know if you created a custom Musterprotokoll (articles of association) from the start, and/or if you needed to alter these during the VC raising process.

Should I attempt to get some kind of pre-incorporation term sheet from potential investors, and just add them as shareholders immediately during incorporation?

Should I just make a Delaware C Corp?

I live in Berlin, my company is (will be) doing direct air carbon capture.

Feel free to email me directly, email is in profile.

Thanks!

> it is a fair assumption that their service offerings have been used by a significant amount of enterprises.

AWS revenue is 62B. Azure Cloud revenue is 23B. GCS revenue is 22B. I'd say that at 42% of the market, other cloud provider service offerings cumulatively are used by a significant amount of enterprises as well. These revenue numbers are probably artificially deflated due to the land war going on between these business units (i.e. Azure/GCS have to offer larger discounts to steal business from AWS) so it's hard to actually compare without deeper analytics access into these providers. Regardless, even individually these are massive revenue numbers indicating there's plenty of deployments on each of the clouds. Also, the "nobody got fired for IBM" reasoning is pretty flawed in tech; it's kind of ridiculous how often this argument is made.

Just to preface this next bit. I'm not asking about scenarios like "I run all parts of my business on AWS" which could change the benefits towards AWS (vendors love lockin because it raises prices). I'm asking mainly about a greenfield project that is selecting between the clouds equally.

> Each cloud comes with unique service / API complexity and despite being managed services that experience does not translate 1:1 across clouds

AFAIK the vast majority of all of this has been thoroughly commoditized. Do you have anything specific that you see as an important product/feature that Amazon has that the other's don't?

> AWS IAM policies cannot be reused

Not relevant for new deployments & AWS IAM policies are famously overly complex resulting in security vulnerabilities due to misconfiguration, but sure. IAM policies are unique to each cloud provider.

> and there may be differences in availability, durability, feature set et al

Experientially it seems like Google has an advantage there - AWS seems to have more frequent and longer-lasting outages. I doubt durability has a major difference & feature sets tend to be fairly even between them (might matter for the long tail). Also, that statement feels kind of empty as all it says is that there "may be" differences without stating any or which provider might come out ahead.

It is so funny how thinks matter so little... the things that we as humans put so much weight in. I used to worry so much about work, life, dying in a plane accident (I got nervous everytime I flew). And yet... I got COVID and really fucked me up (even though I am no overweight, have no comorbidities, etc etc... healthy 40 yo adult). As a result of the Covid and AZ vaccines I got an ischemic stroke. Just like that. That has really changed my view of life, now work doesn't matter that much, and my priorities have changed a ton. I still do my job happily and what I do excites me. But you bet I won't be spending the time and effort I spent about 10 years ago when I took a startup from 6 people to Series B. My health (me), family (wife) and extended family (dad, mom, brother) are my main priorities now. And of course, enjoying life.

There are so many things out of our control that shouldn't worry us, and normally the things that matter and that we can control, we decide to let them slide.
