This is an ideal time to raise seed money. Many funds have moved heavily down market away from the big Series B/C's of 2020/2021. You now have a lot of tourists at the seed stage who are obligated to deploy capital and even if it is at 10-20% of the previous rate, that's still five $2M seed rounds for every $50-100M series B/C that used to get done. You won't get a killer valuation like 2020/2021, but you will have plenty of opportunities. My recommendation is to look for a SAFE and hope the market clears in 2-3 years when you go to raise your A round (this implies you need to give yourself 2-3 years of runway with your seed money and/or get to $1M of ARR faster on decent unit economics).

Some very juicy seed and series A money is being thrown around ignorantly by the same people that caused the last bubble. I've had 2 close friends / family raise their seed rounds in the last 4-6 weeks.

Three things to be aware of:

1. VCs will take their time doing real diligence on your market / team. This means it will take 1-3 months from initial outreach instead of 1-3 days.

2. You should also be raising seed money from angels that are executives/fellow founders at your early customers / pilot partners. Ideally you fill a $2M seed round with ten $50-100K checks from these people and a great seed fund that will be value add-oriented.

3. Raise as much money as you can. In 2021, this was terrible advice. Now taking 15% dilution is not the end of the world if it is how you stretch to your next raise vs the 8-10% dilution of yesteryear.
That actually doesn't apply to Bored Apes.

I largely agree, I mean the president that got it through last year also violated their constitution to get another term and was upheld by his own puppet court...

But BTC hasn't helped at all. It's not even _the_ official currency, just one alongside USD, and yet it's already accelerated the country towards defaulting on their bonds.

While all this goes down the president is still making noise about a "Bitcoin city". A very "meta" commentary on cryto I feel.
I wonder if you can right click on the burgers and get them for free.
These merchant adoption and abandonment stories are always implementation issues with no inspiration or education.

A) Point of Sale systems have handled this "volatility" issue for an entire decade. Use an implementation that shields the merchant from volatility. They usually liquidate for you.

B) Why would you list the prices in ApeCoin or Ethereum? Just show dollars and accept whatever, because A) handles whatever proportion you want to keep in dollars or some other crypto.

C) If nobody wants to use that payment method, who cares its free. How often are you getting UnionPay customers, going to make an article about that too?
> Its true. The only lack of empathy is by those that wish to tell a women what they can do with their body because they hate women. Its really simple. Want an abortion? Cool. Don't want an abortion? Cool. Anything else is none of your business!

You know, there are a lot of pro-life women. Do you think they have those beliefs because they hate themselves? Abortion is a complicated issue, it's only "really simple" if you ignore a bunch of stuff and/or fill your head with slogans.

You'd be on firmer ground if you said something along the lines of "there is no valid pro-life position [for me]."
It's not hard.

"Surely this will appreciate, I am a genius"
Based on the title I expected a lot more specifics - the whole article is basically just "come up with a real world scenario where systems design might be new or challenging" and then ask that.
The fact of the matter is that other than rape, by definition, women are consenting to an activity that will put them at high risk for getting pregnant.

Your argument is effectively that people should be able to reneg on the consequences of actions if those consequences are not desirable.
Agreed! I just finished writing a comment to someone else specifically stating that Schedule 1 drugs should be handed the same result as R v. W just got!
> All States should require citizens to muster for arms and disaster training at least twice a year

Or how about, since we banded together in order to create a more perfect union, and so that I, as a citizen, can focus my time on pursuing happiness, rather than mustering every six months, we agree, through our democratically elected representatives, to just pay some money into a kitty and out of that fund a professional police force, fire department, and a state national guard. That way we get sufficient people trained in the use of arms to secure our liberty, and we don't have to act like we're a bunch of 18th century farmers any more.
Did you notice that the words in that sentence are also lexicographically sorted?
SMS is bad for 2FA not because it can be spoofed, bit because of SIM-swapping attacks that let the attacker trivially take your 2FA codes from you---gaining access to your protected accounts while you're locked out. NIST recommended against using SMS for this reason in summer 2016.
No, there won't be entangled particles that allow instantaneous communication. Per the No Communication Theorem, information cannot propagate faster than light speed, end of story.
They're almost always sewn on as pre-made patches nowadays, at least in my area. I will forgive the clothier a printed patch but yes the fabric manufacturer's must be woven.
That's a fair counter-point. If we had to create a model to test my hypothesis, what do you believe is the best way to go about it?

My proposal is as follows:
Take the GDP, per capita, per state and compare expansion/contraction of before Roe and after Roe. We can measure % change in the 10 years pre Roe to 10 years post Roe. The hypothesis is that states never cared about children and as such, post Roe, GDP expansion in states that had abortion abolished experienced a much higher GDP, per capita growth than before.

Information can be sourced from St. Luis FED.

If you have another idea, please let me know. I'm personally curious about this and would like to explore so feel free to pick apart my post as it will just render a more thought out experiment.

Thanks.

edit: If someone is a data scientist that can comment on what is the correct methodology to take or what pitfalls to consider, I would highly appreciate it.
I double checked. You are correct. Only businesses need to file 1099s for contractors.
Casinos are not just games where chips are exchanged between players and what is regulated is not how you play (casinos per se may do that, I don’t know) but that the game is fair and you can make informed decisions, ie in card games that all players have the same information which means the decks are not marked, contain a known distribution of cards,… That does not happen in inefficient markets.
> None of them can explain what made them change their mind on this short time frame in spring 2020. Was there new knowledge? A break thru experiment? They refuse to say.

Again, this isn't true. Plenty of them have explained it. Just not up to the standards of the conspiracy theorists. This goes beyond the "lab leak vs. natural origin" debate and is now, what, including American scientists in covering up the lab leak to aid the Chinese?

Spell out specifically what you are implying here.

Nobody could see this coming! Lol

Seriously, crypto has yet to solve any real world problems I’ve faced. And NFTs are just the worst. Money laundering schemes at best.

If I can’t buy an apple easily with crypto, it’s useless.
Black men are also responsible for the majority of firearm murders ala gang violence, the total number of which make the number killed in school shootings look miniscule by comparison, but I don't see you calling them out. I bet you'll say it's a systemic issue. No chance the white school shooters are dealing with any systemic issues themselves? Perhaps people like you who seem to have an unreasonable disdain for young white men?

Just because you've internalized self-hatred and white-guilt doesn't give your the right to project that on the rest of the population.
I dislike crypto, especially NFTs. But here's my best attempt at understanding.

BAYC transfers ownership of IP for the ape you've bought. It's not just a picture of the ape on OpenSean; you can use it. There's something really fascinating about this. It's one character, but it's also broadly part of the larger ecosystem.

We're so used to, say, Disney owning IP. But what if you could spend $300k and have a restaurant themed like Mickey Mouse? And you're not a cheap knockoff... you're expanding on the lore and the You could have a community of built in people or, like the guy in the article, maybe they just thought the vibe was cute and didn't know what BAYC was even.

I think it's really interesting that people are building and creating and expanding this universe. Imagine something like Pokémon, where everyone was able to create and consume games/content/etc.

Here in HN, the sentiment tends to be against Disney-style copyrights. The crypto community is playing with what community and intellectual property actually could mean.
I never experienced long political diatribes when I attended Catholic mass a few years ago. There wasn't much time for speaking as the mass itself is quite involved.

> It occurred to me that all of this must have been carefully planned at the highest levels of both the church and political/financial benefactors that support it.

I'm curious if we'll see leaks confirming this. Otherwise this might be an anecdote stretched a little too far. It's far more likely you've experienced some bad pastors.
If there is such a huge difference why did Thomas specifically call those other cases out in his support?
Unpin.py – a tool to remove harmful version constraints from wheels
Some authors of tools/libs written in python prefer to set upper bounds on dependencies versions. It causes conflicts, but they don't care: "just use virtualenvs". Of course vens don't solve the issue, but the authors don't care.

This tool removes these harmful constraints.
I was full of holes.
> The overwhelming majority of men can't get pregnant.

Human males obviously can't get pregnant, only human females.
> Gain-of-function research is medical research that genetically alters an organism in a way that may enhance the biological functions of gene products. This may include an altered pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range.

Isn't the goal to end up with an infectious agent? I don't understand why it seems so implausible that they would succeed? Why would someone give a lab money for a truly impossible task?
Great point! The CSA and DEA are unconstitutional, when will the supreme court declare it as such?

Oh they won't, because they're activist judges with an agenda not some impartial arbiter of the constitution
Ah, that's a fair approach.

I was thinking of it this way: Hallucinaut assumed that armitron was male, because a female would never make that argument. However, 46% of people who believe that abortion should be illegal in almost all cases are female, which makes Hallucinaut's assumption very bad.

Your approach is valid in other contexts, but I don't think it's the most relevant to the question I was addressing.
Scientists emulate nature in quantum leap towards computers of the future
On Android, if you use AndOTP, the app allows you to easily back up all your OTP secrets to an exportable file, with optional password encryption. Trivial to then import into another phone.
A lot of them thought that no sarbecoviruses had a furin cleavage site and when they were first exposed to the issue by the headlines they assigned an overly high estimate to the FCS as being evidence of human tampering.

Then other experts pointed out that isn't uncommon at all, and they all adjusted their thinking.

"Woah, that's a million to one odds, that can't be by chance!"

"No, it's actually really common, here's a pile of similar viruses with an FCS."

"Oh, nevermind."

Experts can leap to conclusions and run their mouths off just like everyone else, doesn't take some radical world-wide conspiracy that "got" to them (other than the radical conspiracy theory of "well-informed truthful information").
I support your position, but I'm pretty sure he was cracking a tasteless joke at the thought of the specific people of Clarence and Ginni getting it on rather than all people of mixed races.

It's a reddit-level comment that doesn't add anything to the discussion.
I use the Lifespan TR1200. I also have a cheaper Titan Fitness one, and at least with the case of the two of those you definitely get what you pay for. The Lifespan is much quieter and wider.

That said there might be better stuff on the market now as I purchased a while ago.
I've done something similar for years. Every site gets a unique email address that follows a specific patters (e.g. amazon_com@example.com). Most of the sites don't sell or leak my email addresses. It has happened, but the majority of the email addresses I've generated (close to a thousand) do not get spammed. I'd say less than 1%. Most of the spam coming to my domains are to generic addresses like info@example.com or to addresses I didn't populate like william164@example.com.
I see your point and thought the same when reading the article. Decomposition.

It is possible to produce a dump of Rust program AST into WhyML datatypes and/or functions and project and prove what can be proven.

I've soured on the whole idea that protecting your privacy is solely an individual responsibility. Individual-level solutions can never fix what is a system problem with privacy-invading organizations and weak-to-nonexistent laws restraining them.
Women can and do already choose what to do with their body. And rape is already illegal. The current blind spot is that abortion is not federally allowed in the case of rape.

And if you’re talking about bodily autonomy of course prison is relevant.

Do you think abortion 10 minutes before birth is fine? Half way out the birth canal? 1 second after birth?

Is there ever a time between conception and birth where you’d call it baby murder?
When comparing fruits (armies) it makes lots of sense to compare apples to kiwis to oranges (romans to greeks to Macedonians).

The article is in a series about "how does a general command an army in battle". Within that series this article is about the role of officers, in battle.

The officer numbers are mentioned to explain how armies acted. But how armies wanted to act is not used to explain why officer numbers were the way they were.
I also think (but have no evidence) that Apple mandates the browser engine for performance and battery use reasons.
> One animal shedded... two variants of virus

Maybe, but more likely two different ones out of the many millions of poorly documented animals in the East Asia animal trade. Certainly more plausible than a single lab engineering two very distinct linages for no good reason.

> That didn't mean that actually outracing nature to make the hypothesized worse viruses in accelerated lab processes was a good risk-reducing idea!

Presumably you can link to the papers published about how they did just such work, or evidence it in some other authoritative way since you make the assertion so boldly?

> the person in your home is willingly violating your space. The fetus is not willingly in your body

This is an interesting point, but I believe the castle doctrine doesn't make this distinction: if you find someone on your property who you didn't give prior permission to enter, you may murder them, regardless of whether they were there willingly (or even knowingly). For example, if you wake up in the middle of the night to a loud bang and find someone jutting out from your broken front door and shoot before asking questions, you will not be accused of murder or even manslaughter if that person was actually thrown into your house by someone outside.

> So for you, rights begin at birth? I'm not judging, I'm trying to assess your solid position.

I think a compromise where rights begin at viability makes enough sense. I would also be OK with allowing women to request a fetus be removed from their body even after it becomes viable, but not through procedures that are intended to kill it - for example, I could see an argument where a woman should be allowed to have an elective C-section to remove an 8 month fetus/baby from her body, who she could then abandon in the care of the hospital. But, I don't think it would be OK to request a procedure where an 8 month fetus is killed in utero and removed.

For non-elective procedures (where the life of the mother is at stake) the discussion is more open-ended, I believe.

Essentially, the right of the mother to her own body is quite obviously separate from the fetus' right to life. People who seek to conflate them are typically doing so with ulterior motives.

As someone else was pointing out, taking the extreme view of fetal personhood, while still correctly recognizing a woman's right to her own body, one should seek to (a) prevent any procedure that outright kills the foetus, (b) demand the mother carry the pregnancy until it is viable, (c) allow only late term "abortions" where the fetus is removed from the mother's body and kept alive on life support.
dialyzer and a liberal sprinkling of typespecs gets a decent chunk of the way there, meanwhile the problem with gleam and friends is the fact that they're altogether new languages -- the pragmatic solution would be a restricted subset of erlang (that a likewise restricted subset of elixir could comfortably compile down to) where your module has to be fully typed, but you would need some pretty gnarly logics to handle things like "yes, when this function mashes these two iolists together in this way, it's still an iolist" etc
I'll try my best to phrase this delicately, as I understand it's an emotional topic for Americans right now, but perhaps RBG chose not to step down because she knew that the action of stepping down was inherently political, and after years on the court, had decided to avoid setting a precedent of Blue/Red judges tactically stepping down when their respective party is in power.

Who knows what her real reasoning may have been, but that's my interpretation.
No, with copyright law you get ownership, the nft is just a public receipt
You get copyright on a software-generated image? What's the point?
In many NFTs, the content itself is not covered by a hash (although the URL pointing to it is) so it would be incredibly difficult to prove that “ownership” in any case?
i have been using an earlier model of this device, the a5, and it is really an incredible device. you can watch videos, reading especially hacker news is a dream, it has a great audio chip and headphone jack, and the battery life is incredible.

i've been using it recently on a backpacking trip as my primary map source and for listening to music, and in five days the battery is above eighty percent still. the only reasons i haven't upgraded is that it still works great and there are no jailbreak options yet for the newer models. it is not my daily driver, but i would leave lcd screens or o l e d screens behind in an instant if apple or google made a paper display device. with jailbreak on mine i feel relatively safe it is not sending any data i don't approve, but because the jailbreaking is a volunteer effort, updates come out too infrequently for me to use as a daily driver.

I tested the color screv version (the CC) which was magical but it lakced the contrast of regular epaper. There are improvements in the color epaper i've heard.

Most of the legislation either includes or is eventually amended to provide for those exceptions. 12 to 15 weeks is generally should be more than enough time.
I looked it up and you are 100% correct. I now object to the existence of the term, as it clearly attempts to imply that legitimate activity is close to black market activity, but this is the correct use of the term as it exists. (Thank you for correcting me; it is far better to object to the right thing.)
Calls for Mass Walkout of Women in US - Roe vs. Wade Officially Overturned
I stand by that there is no position that is acceptable to anyone accept their own body. You don't get to decide what other people do.

Yes I do think they hate themselves, or at least hate their sex, their world or their (nonexistent) God. It is intrinsic to the rights of women to do what they want to do with their own body. I accept that a anti-abortion woman does not want to have an abortion herself. I accept that a pro-abortion woman does want an abortion.

Its a complicated issue only to the parties involved. Lets not make it more complicated by taking away autonomy.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I started with a $150 cheapo Walmart treadmill that you could rig a potentiometer to in order to bypass the controls and make it slow enough.

All that said you absolutely get what you pay for, and it's much nicer to walk on higher end models.
If a crypto-themed restaurant doesn't think it's worth it, I can't see how anyone else would either. Like, this is their whole brand!
2% of the total population. It must be higher when other variables are added to the calculation.

- The % of male population imprisoned. My guesstimate is 4%.

- The % of male population between 18 and 29 y/o imprisoned

I don’t have the raw data to calculate it at this moment. But it must be higher once gender / age / income are considered.
Their accuracy is completely subject to stable mutation rate and frequency of sample -- with that second paper, they were working with ~10 samples from 15 years ago vs. thousands of samples with hourly granularity and entirely traceable transmission chains in the early days of Covid.
