My small LLC is affected by this. Anyone know a good alternative? I'm exploring creating a legacy business plan bank account like Wells Fargo, looks like they waive the monthly fee with $500 min deposit, which is the smallest among the big name banks.
Nobody would give you preferred stock, which is why you need to demand an absolutely absurd premium on the amount of common stock that they offer.

Also, it generally doesn't need a new class of shares, just a vote by the board.

Edit: Just to clarify, if you want to hire a mercenary, you can't do it expecting that they will take the same value of your stock that your true believer investors took without any of the guarantees that your investors got. They are investing time into your company and you need to make it worth it.
And a committee of employees has a better strategy for profitability? I don’t see it.

The employees have dramatically less incentive than the owners and management to earn the owners an adequate return on their investment.

> folks truly do not believe that transferring something that we believe to have some value (i.e bitcoin, or USD, or whatever) without the need for a middleman, while also keeping your funds truly safe from external control (i.e banks, governments, and the like) then cryptocurrency is simply not for you, full stop thank you for considering it.

None of that applies to Bitcoin or any other digital currency. There is always a middle man (and fees), disintermediation is a myth (and don't get me started on decentralization).
> I don't make that assumption, lets keep it simple and assume it's just a cosmetic display item without any abilities and that it's possible to display this item in the other game.

Since it costs thousands of dollars to store any significant amount of data on the major blockchains, any game item will just be some reference stored on the blockchain.

Unless every game developer builds an appropriate model for every possible item there's no "simple" importing of an asset. Even if a full asset was shared between games no two games are guaranteed to display even a texture the same way.

Even your example of "rank" is meaningless. Rank in one game doesn't have anything to do with rank in another game. The number of goblins you killed in a fantasy RPG has no meaning to a racing game.

As for these being scams, there's no reason any of these things require a blockchain. Games have at various points supported custom player models, skins, spray decals, and all sorts of other shit. None of it needed the added rent extraction of a blockchain.

The only reason to add a blockchain is to get players to prop up whatever shitcoin blockchain is being used. They get vague promises of asset reusability but actually just get normal scammy in-app purchases.
Perhaps the employees who are actually executing a faulty business strategy can see its first errors up front.

is patently not true. If we are convinced that corporations steal and therefore CC-NC is acceptable, then is the intent of this project to only service corporations? Because it seems quite dangerous for individual projects.
This kind of approach has already worked for almost every product category. Your fridge has an energy rating sticker on it because it help you select the least energy using models and in turn incentivizes manufacturers to care about efficiency since consumers care and can now see.

Currently as a renter, if you see a few properties online, you have no feasible way to factor energy usage in to your decision making so landlords have no reason to factor it in since it won't prioritize their property to renters.
Why is it easy to implement any toy language that is buggy, not standards compliant and slow? Well that should be kinda obvious right? It takes 10+ years to make high quality implementations of Lisp that can compete with the best out there. Same with most (all?) other languages. With the exception of Forth maybe?

Furthermore the Mac's status as Apple's development platform means that locking it down is a non-starter.

For people who want a managed computing experience, Apple already has a solution for them—the iPad. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we see Apple releasing iPadOS devices in other form factors. An iPad notebook to compete with Chromebooks. An iPad desktop computer for people who want a large screen iPadOS experience. But the Mac will never go away. It's necessary for the iOS/iPadOS app ecosystem to work.
> Software should serve the interests of its users, not its developers.

The history of “rainbow washing” in corporate marketing material served the original purpose of saying “you’re welcome here”. There are many stores/places that choose to not serve queer people.

Publicly sharing that you will allow queer people to use your product is serving the interest of those users, but perhaps not the interest of every user. But the remaining users thankfully never had to question if they’d be served by that business, so there’s no need to signal anything to them.
no, the prevalence of guns is not the primary cause of mass shootings. and these deaths are so few that they're prone to variance and statistical error, not to mention political and ideological bias.

over half of gun deaths in the US are suicides. much of the rest is murder, but over 99% of murders are not via mass shootings. most murders are between people who know each other. if you fear death by gun shooting, you should be worried about yourself first, and then those close to you, and no one else (not even "terrorists"). even in the US, you should basically never fear a stranger killing you with a gun.
Quic can have multiple streams. Every stream is guaranteed to be ordered like TCP.
The TLS is wrapped in "CRYPTO-frames" whose content is passed verbatim to TLS.
Quic does require collaboration with TLS. There are a couple of events in which TLS calls the Quic implementation, for example for TLS state changes.

What I dont quite get is how the individual streams are encrypted. As I understood it, the initial vector(IV) is generated during the initial handshake, so all the streams would reuse the same IV which could make it leak the requested file.
This leads me to wonder...

Is there an easy way for regular consumers to set up recurring payments in a "push" configuration (i.e. from my bank to someone else's) rather than "pull" configuration (i.e. most subscriptions where the service charges a credit card on an interval)?

I split a T-Mobile multi-line plan with a few friends where I'm the payer, and I remember looking into this a while back to help them pay their share on time and without hassle, but coming up empty.

Feels like it would be useful for paying for something like Mullvad too, but I feel like there are benefits to that model that reaches beyond the individual use cases I mentioned.

It'd allow me to manage money going out of my account from 1 centralized location, making money flow more predictable and less chaotic than the status quo where a random amount of money is pulled out of my account from various credit cards every month, and I have to log into each account separately to figure out how much.

AR/VR is inevitable

Yeah, the folks who sank piles of money into it last time all thought that too. Turns out that "inevitable" might mean "tomorrow" or it might mean "thirty years from now". Pointing that out _is_ an attempt to "influence this technology" by reminding people that thinking gigantic problems will just magically be solved Because This Is The Future is a recipe for disappointment.

That is a real problem, one I hope will be solved through more transparency in the future, rather than less.

It is a tough problem to crack from the businesses point of view. They need to have enough capital and profit to ensure that current staff are compensated at a competitive industry rate, but also hire at the same time to get the business goals met to get that revenue, and so on and so on.
"No one is forced to be a Catholic."

Have you heard of the Spanish Inquisition? Hundreds of thousands of Jews and Muslims forcibly converted to Catholicism or faced with ethnic cleansing, with mass executions claiming thousands of victims. Or the Portugese inquisition? Or when Galileo was imprisoned for life for heresy against the Catholic Church?

Not to mention what Catholicism did to the Americas...

Or for more recent examples, how about when the Catholic Church took two Jewish children whose parents had been killed at Auschwitz, converted them to Catholicism, and refused to return them to their surviving relatives, resulting in a nearly decade-long post-war manhunt where the Church hid the children in a variety of monasteries under false names while refusing court orders to return the children, telling them that their entire family was dead — when in fact their sisters and aunt had survived — under the direct advice of the Pope? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finaly_Affair

And yet, whenever there is a regulatory initiative to reign in those companies some people, especially on places HN, will claim that it is a futile attempt despite past evidence to the contrary.

My prediction if this takes off: Just as in Phones right now we will see a period of mono/duopolism after which lawmakers around the world will start to decide that the public space expanded into a new field and that companies such as Meta are unfit stewards.
Then laws will be written to align platforms more with whatever the local society expects. (And some people will, again, complain about that "overreach")
I once bought a brown/bronze car at a discount. It was the ugliest color I had ever seen on a car, but I still drove it for many months.

California is drying up. It's not happening overnight, but it's happening and can't be stopped. California has had centuries-long droughts far worse than the present, caused by temperature increases cooler than the present. The only way to prevent California from drying up again would be a complete and rapid reversal of global warming. Even if we merely halted climate change completely, the present climate already spells disaster for California in the long run.

> When calculating expected value of private stock/options I multiply by a factor of ~10 at the end.

For early stage startups? I just go ahead and value them at zero. Ownership of equity in pre B series tech startup is, for me, about the same as ownership in a lottery ticket. It has some value in that it's fun to dream about what might happen, but that's pretty much it.

I am still likely to jump on start-up offers (I'm kinda waiting on two to form a little more fully right now) where I _know_ the salary will be below market rate, but where I also know the "mission" is something I care about and the team are people I want to work with. But I'm going to do that still valuing the equity at zero. If things work out like the pitch deck says, yeah maybe I'll make 7 figures out of it. But I'm not gonna assume that'll happen, even if the pitch deck success _does_ happen, I'd expect to have been diluted along the way to only end up with 6 or 5 figures.
Does wordperfect 5.1 say anything to you :) ? You just remade it and I love you for that.
A really nice project.

A recruiter called me from your company recently, and I kind of cringed hearing him talk about the meta verse.

I realize now they probably would be much more effective with engineers if they skipped that part and just focused on all the cool work that’s being done.
One example is a bot I wrote for PsychonautWiki that posts changes from Jira, MediaWiki via UDP and Paypal via IPN: https://github.com/psychonautwiki/eyeOfProvidence.

Another one I wrote recently is a bot that I ported to Telegram from its original IRC incarnation: https://github.com/19h/minuteman-bot.

A bot I wrote that, when seeing a voice message, transcribes it using AssemblyAI and finally uses OpenAI GPT3 to summarise it: https://github.com/19h/transcriptbot. (Needs an api key for both)

Finally, a bot that monitors a tcp / http endpoint configured via a yaml file, can be configured to send alerts via SMS (via AWS SNS), Slack or Telegram: https://github.com/19h/zuse.

There's a bunch more but most of them are very specific to my needs.
I've found NFSv4 to be more stable and performant than SMB when using it between Linux machines. Seems to handle multiple concurrent clients well, too.
I immediately decline if a company asks for unpaid work as part of the interview process. If it’s paid I don’t have an issue with it. I assume if a company starts the relationship with asking for unpaid work that expectation will continue throughout your employment.

There are simply too many companies hiring that don’t require this that it’s easy to just pass.
> Two equivalent lots next to each other should taxed the same or very close to it.

Yes… but you can’t just look at vacant lots in abstract. If you have two lots and they are taxed the same or similarly, either the owners pay the tax, or they sell the lot because they aren’t providing enough economic value to afford the tax, or someone who has a better economic idea buys the lot to improve it.

In your example of the similar lots you demonstrated this, but drew the wrong conclusion. You realize economic value from the 10,000 people on Lot A because the owner had to either improve it or sell it so that it produced economic value.

> Beachfront vs non beachfront isn’t equivalent

Right, which is why they’d be taxed differently… depending on other factors. L

> Anyway, LVT definitely doesn’t care about what you built on the property so this distinction just doesn’t matter.

That’s exactly the wrong conclusion! LVT cares more than any other tax system because the tax revenue is reflective of the economic value of the property.
Your bank/financial institution should be able to do this at least from a bank account to a bank account. I have "pull" payments for organisations I'm ok with and "push" for others. The only issue I have is the "push" amounts are fixed and must be renewed every two years. (Edit: I don't think this will work with the VPN though as it needs a domestic account to push to, otherwise fees are high)
I liked Longitude and would recommend Galileo's Daughter, also by Dava Sibel. It's a biography of Galileo supplemented with letters he exchanged with his daughter, who was a Catholic nun.
Highly recommend using good lube, totally changed my approach to keeping noisy barrels quiet. Graphite works well.

In the niche area of VR fitness, I think the Quest 2, or the Quest 1 for that matter, was already there. It is the killer app...but maybe the only one for those who use the Quest that way: this morning I did 45 minutes in FitXR and another 25 minutes in BeatSaber, I have a few other fitness apps I use sometimes but I've never even explored the gaming aspect of the system. I don't want to go back to the way it was before the Quest 1 came out, gyms aren't that convenient for me anymore and everything else I could think of to do at home wasn't cutting it.

DDR was as really great fitness app back in the late 90s, early 00s, similar experience, but it required insanely expensive hardware if you wanted to do it at home at any decent quality (rather than just a novelty for a few parties). The Quest has none of that problem (though most of your work is in your arms rather than your legs). It is also too bad Microsoft didn't go the fitness route for Kinect, that worked fairly well also in getting sore at least.
You are still missing the point.

> if they’re legal now it’s because they’re complying with laws, and if they stop complying with laws they won’t be legal.

Laws from what country?

OP's comment was trying to argue that "the country of jurisdiction has veto power". My question was "which country has jurisdiction over a distributed application running in thousands of independent computers spread around the world?"

It's not about the individuals, what I am arguing is that the service itself can not be stopped. A government could try to stop its citizens from using the service but even if they were successful (good luck with that...) the service itself would still be around.

Contrast that with, e.g, The Pirate Bay. To stop the service, Governments could and did manage to go after the individuals, or the hosting providers and even the DNS registrars. These were all the choke points that the governments tried to use, because these are points where they can have some jurisdiction. But no government can order an ENS domain to be suspended. No court can stop an IPFS hash to being a representation of a file, and while one could get an order for a specific server to be disconnected, there is no way to issue an order to delete all files of a given hash from the network. There is no one who can remove a contract that is deployed on a blockchain, so there is no way that a judge "can find someone to do something about it..."

And no, this is not a "theoretical argument". It is a very real one. The main reason so many developers are attracted to "web3" is because of its "permissionless" nature. If dapps were not censorship-resistant, then of course developers would just stick with what is more efficient, cheaper and well-established.

Buts it’s not. They can leave and find another job easily.

I agree that management can often be shit and make bad decisions. But at the end of the day everyone is working to make the owners a lot of money, and if the owners cannot see how shit management is, why should employees bother? They don’t stand to gain, only keep working at a company they believe could do great things. See…the incentives for employees drift off into intangible and unmeasurable things.

If a union was able to shift the strategy of a company, what happens if they are wrong and it bankrupts the company. They have no skin in the game. It makes no sense.

Workers don't have an incentive of bankrupting the company. And not all employees are so blasé about finding another job- there are always some dependent upon a company for their livelihoods. Different owners also have different risk thresholds. As evidenced by the lavish VC funding of the past decade, there are many investors with a strong stomach for waste and failure.

My problem with this is that it conflicts with identity ownership. If I give every company someunqiueaddress@someservice.com, I no longer have the ability to switch email providers, especially if I only decide to switch after losing my someservice.com account. If I give every company someuniqueaddress@mydomain.org, then I’m still ID’d by mydomain.org. Maybe in a way that automatic linkers miss, for now, but maybe not: how hard is it, really, to automatically determine with decent confidence that mydomain.org is a personal domain, and strip the entire username and subdomain part in the existing normalization step?

It can be some secret mydomain.org, but that still links all my profiles together.

I could buy a different domain for every company, but that’s cost prohibitive, and also piercing WHOIS privacy is just another data sharing agreement away.
