You need it spelled out for you? So if I tell you “I love you and would never hurt you” while beating the shit out of you, you’re going to think “hm, I can’t assume his intent, I bet he does love me!”

Your argument is foolish.
For me, the best source of seed investor introductions (relevant firm and getting to the partner directly) was from other founders. And the best source of getting introductions to founders was, ironically, from seed investors.

Even having a small network on day 1 is enough to bootstrap but you need to consciously grow. And yes it will feel slow at the beginning.
It certainly made it easier to wire up :) I would not want to hand-wire a 32 bit databus.
Both Mexico and Ireland allow abortion.
> I think that in-vitro fertilization would soon become not an option in the "life at conception" states. Probably eggs freezing too.

do you have an actual reason for thinking this will happen? this is detached from reality, both of these procedures are meant to create babies which are carried to term, which is the fundamental goal of pro-life policies
Expensive yes. Reliable, dunno. I have an Audi, also a Volkswagen group car. It's fun, sporty, feels "expensive" but it has the worst reliability of all the cars I've owned, on par with Fiat. I use to joke that the four circles represent the amount spent on maintenance and repairs.
I'd argue mostly emotional, us projecting our different emotional experiences on each other and wanting them to feel how we feel regarding the same things.

I also believe it has scientific and legal and axiomatic components, just feel quite confident it has to do more with the fear, anger, guilt, shame, and other emotions we feel and attach to things.
This strikes me as wildly implausible. The US broadly has very permissive abortion laws compared to most of Europe, but I have never once heard of anyone migrating to the US over greater abortion access. It's always economic/opportunity concerns. Going further back, during the Soviet era when abortion was widespread (i.e. 2-3 abortions per live birth in the 60s-70s), did anyone want to migrate to the Eastern bloc for it? My understanding is that it was overwhelmingly the other way around, again for economic reasons.

I think if people turn down jobs in states because of restrictive abortion laws, it's because they have so much choice in desirable employers that they can select on issues that almost everyone else would live with, whether they personally approve or not.

And lastly, if anything is going to undermine Austin universities in terms of science research and education, it's the rampant devaluation of academic standards, excessive bureaucratization, grade inflation, and churning out of degrees in exchange for tuition money. Abortion will have little if anything to do with it.

That's the reason why I stopped using it too. It looked pretty but I didn't feel productive because of the laggy-ness

I shilled this yesterday as well, but anybox (https://anybox.cc) might be for you, that's what I am using currently. It's native on iOS/Mac, syncs with iCloud and is very keyboard centric with Command Palette, Quick Open, etc.

No connected cloud SaaS subscription service (though there is an iAP with one-time purchase option) or other bells&whistles, just a good simple native app that does what I want it to do
Take a look at the voting numbers for Austin, TX. It's overwhelmingly democrat. 71% of Travis County votes were for Joe Biden[1]. The people moving to Austin are no different from the people that moved to San Francisco or Seattle in the first place.

Thanks for explaining, I think I understand your viewpoint a bit better now. I still think it's somewhat hypocritical that they want the baby to be born at all costs but many of them do not want public services to help single mothers. And I've seen first-hand how single mothers are treated in churches, so pushing church as a solution is not a viable workaround.
> Companies either pulled out because they were legally obligated (That's what sanctions are)

AFAIK, there were no sanctions regarding multinational corporations. McDonalds etc. were not legally obligated to pull out.
Second this, and not just for fashion. I went through amplify.LA at our geospatial analytics startup, Mapsense. The amplify folks were some of our best investors.
I dunno, the comstock act?

The way SCOTUS works is they render it impossible to enforce a law. It doesn't actually remove the law from the books.

It's a legal hack - the government can't enforce it when its made unconstitutional, but it still exists unless they explicitly remove it. Hence Texas' legal hack of allowing citizens to enforce a law.

Here’s a point I don’t see in the other comments or in your questions: be careful.

Yes, be humane. Yes, be honest. But also be careful. You will be surprised by who becomes litigious. Avoiding lawsuits will help you continue being humane to those still employed.

1. Is your employment practice liability insurance policy up to date?

2. Say nothing about why a particular person was chosen. Saying you let someone go because they are expensive, if they are over 40, could open you up to an age discrimination suit.

3. Have two people on the call with each person. One to deliver news. One to take notes.

4. Have IT terminate their access as you start the conversation with each person. If someone needs access to get family photos or something, you can help them later.

It sucks, but it is also rather routine event. Two months severance is very generous if you really are in desperate straits.

Good luck.
Fyi your article looks pretty bad on mobile.

> I've always wondered how often timing analysis is used in practice by surveillence big tech

Temporal correlation is the difference between regular network analysis, and dynamic network analysis. Just search "dynamic network analysis" on Google Scholar, and look at who's writing the papers :)

But to back up a step — every SaaS company does this on some level. If you have an backend audit-log for e.g. user registrations, and you eyeball it every so often to notice event clusters of people trying to bulk-register accounts in order to block their IPs — well, that's timing analysis!
Two possible scary scenarios: an extension of the current crash or the next crash in 2025-2026.
a lot of people were fooled into putting money into "stable coins." Then they thought getting returns on it from celsius was risk free. Then they put a majority of their net worth into celsius accounts. they are "fine" by your definition but they may have lost 90-95% of their net worth.
It's happening early next week, we're not wanting to wait around. Currently we're researching legal obligations (in our jurisdiction there's a law around "consulting" first that's a bit complicated) and that's all it's waiting on. ASAP is the timeline.

I do not plan to say anything about "my feelings", nor to try and be presumptive and give speeches about "their feelings". Our staff will see deeper than platitudes now, just as they have always been above thinking that free beer and pizza compensates for work-life balance.
Yes.

Terrible pop sci title that makes the work sound a bigger deal than it is. I thought that evolution of cancer under drug treatment would be described. But a more accurate title would be, Computer simulations of proteins show molecular mechanism of particular resistance mutations to imatinib that were previously characterized to increase ligand dissociation kinetics.

That is, certain mutations in the protein that the drug imatinib inhibits enable cancer cells to be more resistant to the drug. A previous experimental study by the researchers found that these mutations increase the rate of drug unbinding from the protein. The study here describes computer simulations of the protein and explains why the mutations lead to increased dissociation kinetics. An advanced algorithm was used to sample ligand unbinding events in simulation.
Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of poll numbers today without citation. To be fair, every existing poll can be safely defenestrated anyway since the SCOTUS ruling will have changed a high fraction of minds.
Thank you all for the cool games. And thank you in advance for what you choose to do in the future. You're very interesting developers.
Apple can also get away with a small library in the short term because their users can bundle in cloud services they were likely to buy anyway.

Once you want a music subscription and a family-size amount of cloud storage (the 2TB plan), you’ve basically got the whole Apple One bundle justified.

On top of that these services all further increase the friction of ever leaving the Apple platform.

Apple is the most valuable company in the world for a very good reason.

> At the time, a Connecticut law prohibited the use of "any drug, medicinal article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception" and punished anyone who "assists, abets, counsels, causes, hires or commands another" to do so (in other words, it wasn't a crime to sell birth control devices, but it was a crime to use birth control or any drug or medical instrument for the purposes of preventing conception).

> Griswold and Buxton sued the State of Connecticut claiming the law violated their constitutional rights. The issue at stake was whether a married couple had a constitutional "right of privacy" to be counseled in the use of contraceptives.

Three other major cases are cited in that FindLaw article, the most recent in 2014 which took away rights to healthcare coverage.
> The US broadly has very permissive abortion laws compared to most of Europe

According to Wikipedia: "Most countries in the European Union allow abortion on demand during the first trimester, with Sweden and the Netherlands having more extended time limits." That's the same as what was once guaranteed in the US under Roe.
I agree with you there. It's just the snarky tone of your higher up post seemed to indicate an over-simplified view of the anti-choice stance. I disagree with them, but they aren't necessarily stupid or insincere.
Not to overly pick a nit, but if you dig into that Medicare for all poll, only a single digit percentage of Americans support it when you get into the actual details of the plan as presented at the time of the poll.
This is a good PR move to get out ahead of the investigative journalists who will absolutely start digging into public campaign contribution data and pointing out how much they’ve donated to the politicians who drove this decision.
Personally, I believe the underlying difference is that the parent company of DALL-E is a nonprofit with clear cost recoups for their api pricing and the access to DALL-E is currently free. CoPilot is from a for profit company which has been around enough for a lot of people to have strong opinions of. CoPilot was initially introduced as a product that would have a subscription or license cost.
There are copyright and attribution differences and some similarities but from someone on the edge of the development realm my reaction was firmly because of the free/at cost transparency for OpenAI versus the clear 'this is a product to make money from'. I'm not saying that the latter is an inherently bad thing but it absolutely colors the way you feel about it.

I have little doubt Clarence is only a little less crazy than his wife. Republicans put these people into positions of immense power. They might not have known how much power at the time, but they put shitty people in power for shitty reasons and they can now totally own that failure.

Got some enlightened centrism at work here. I'm willing to entertain that the left is way too woke, but they aren't sending crazy people to congress my dude.
Even if it was taken in the last two weeks? This ruling was the worst-kept secret in SCOTUS history.
"conflict averse" and "easy to manipulate" are personality traits. Pretty subjective and not useful for (adult) discourse.

At everyday level - dismissing extra fertilized eggs is killing new life according to the "life-at-conception". And IVF, contraception, eggs freezing, etc. gives more power/freedom to women which is abomination to the conservative forces. And it isn't some utility level power/freedom like guns or speech, it is the most fundamental power domain for any biological life - the power to determine the genetic makeup of the next generation of the species.

At the deep biological level - the fundamental goal of pro-life policies is to enforce r-selection, ie. more random based, whereis pro-choice is K-selection, ie. more managed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/K_selection_theory), and like the abortion the IVF, egg freezing, contraception, etc. are all enemies of r-selection while they are tools of K-selection.

I don't think you hit product market fit, though. It should be pretty obvious. If you had, and the market was as big as you say, then people would be flocking in just by word of mouth.

Frankly, this is a good stance but doesn't go far enough. Google should have a policy encouraging every employee to relocate to the area they feel most appeals to their values, lifestyle and beliefs.

Abortion is an important issue but hardly the only one.
Dude, you do not understand Texas Democrats. And Texas Democrats do not understand you.

If they did, frankly, they would not vote the way they do. There is a type of cultural elitism, and a freeness that Austin voters have that is not indicative of the SF or Seattle voters. People who have been there any appreciable amount of time understand how much Austin leftists actually dislike the imports.
The migration pattern in the nation seems to be:

1. Going to your super cool tech job in California when you get out of college.

2. After that, you get older and want to buy a house and settle down, and not pay state income tax, and so you move out to a red state to work remote and turn it blue with all the love of diversity picked up in California.

Strict abortion laws might serve as somewhat of a barrier to this sort of cultural re-diffusion.

The "at the time" was 1965. Contraception was new and controversial 50 years ago. It's not anymore and is widely supported. Is there any current law or proposal to outlaw contraception? Such a law would be wildly unpopular, even among most pro-life people.
Calling what Obama had a "supermajority" is revisionist history. At best, it was like 20 working days of exactly 60 votes (e.g. due to the Al Frank stuff). If even one Dem didn't go along with it (which for a somewhat nuanced issue like abortion back in 2009 - definitely a possibility) even then it wasn't possible.

So acting like there was some all-powerful supermajority is ignorant at best, misinformation at worst.
That is what is required under the DMCA, though. YouTube must remove content immediately after receiving a notice, under penalty of losing safe-harbor privileges. In turn, the claimant must represent themselves as the copyright holder or their agent, and the content must be infringing, under penalty of liability for the accused's costs and attorney fees. The law does not make a provision for YouTube to reject bogus claims.
The prior might be higher than you think

That’s insane. If you’re a founder and you own 20-90% of a 30m dollar seed stage company, you’ve essentially ballooned your paper net worth to a very nice number. A number that would be equivalent to a healthy acquisition. Obviously the founders can’t really dump those shares on the secondary market but it just feels weird for seed stage companies to be worth that much.
If I had to guess, it's because in neither of those locations did people lose rights that they had previously been granted. This is a substantive shift in peoples' bodily autonomy. If you don't want theocratic fascists inspecting your body, all of a sudden you have to uproot.
I'm confused at how that follows what you were saying. I thought you were saying businesses try to act in their rational self-interest and I was trying to highlight how political issues could be in their rational self-interest.

I don't think the effects of one's actions, such as those of Disney's, would negate whether the company intended to do something to help their own company.

>> Companies should stop sending URLs over SMS.

Doesn't make any sense. Companies can stop sending, but that doesn't prevent scammers from sending it. If anything, Apple or Google can run an in-device ML model to understand if a link is scammy/phishy vs genuine. They do it all the time on your browser.
Well, perhaps. But at least when they had homeless people dying on the streets and shit all over the place, they finally cleaned it up in a little over a year.

Even if you don't want to anthropomorphize the company, it's still the smart decision to take action as if they were in this case. Social and reputation repercussions were evidently not weighed heavily enough so if we want them to take a different action in the future then we as a society needs to respond to change that weighting in the future. If you just pass it off as a company being a company seeking profit as if it were a force of nature and don't do anything about it, then you remove one of the incentives for a company to align with the morals of greater society.

"keep the baby"

The ordeal and prospect of raising a child aside - pregnancy and childbirth is inherently dangerous.

Banning abortion is in effect saying women are incubators. Par the course for American Christians. Hopefully this Roe reversal causes people to be a bit less apologetic about that religion here.
Incorrect. Roe guaranteed till viability (e.g. the day of birth). Very different and most people completely disagree with it.
Sure we believe in the ‘monoculture.’

Every tech worker I know who moved to Austin is here in spite the fact it’s in a conservative state, not because of it.

What it comes down to is the south has nice weather and is relatively underpopulated for historical reasons. Nothing else.

And frankly, having moved from Seattle, ‘powerhouse’ is an overstatement. Austin is a nice place, but has a long way to go in terms of engineering talent.
