> Wow, what a deceptive clickbait title! Should read "FDIC tells FTX US to delete a tweet".

(I've restructured this comment removing only a tangential illustration of shareholders liability, adding only to make my meaning clear from the beginning)

Prior to which you argue that the subsidiary is regulated as a commodities trading house. If so, CFTC is likely to promptly suspend them after digesting this FDIC enforcement action.

You appeal to the reputation implied of a known historical entity and or management and dismiss the enforcement action against the combined post acquisition entity as trivia. This is a circular conflagration as disingenuous as the offending misrepresentation of Federal guarantees. I'm suspicious of what connection you may have to this company and thinking your comments may be construed as flagrant obstruction the enforcement of Federal law through persistence with the estopped activities. If you are associated in any way but spoke independently, I think this one is really worth sitting out. For a start FDIC account protection is provided to individuals via FDIC insured banks and can't be parlayed by any broker. FDX referring to individual and or separate insured deposits I'm expecting to give rise to charges of interstate fraud at least. The targets of current enforcement are almost certainly intended to establish case law to enable sweeping enforcement and punishment I think I'm going to say is expected this time, through lower courts.

(Continues unchanged)

The usual resulting status of a any company acquired is "wholly controlled subsidiary" , and bar special classes of shares outstanding accounts and corporate governance arising from the parent holding majority voting rights prevails over any surviving minority shareholders or board member votes. It's theoretically possible for a acquirer to overlook the perfunctory resignation of the board and end up having to use company law and call for a EGM to vote on the termination of incumbent recalcitrant directors, but hardly likely anyone in the farthest reaches of M&A would have so little oversight of catastrophic professional liability.

In plain English there's no separation nor distinction between a subsidiary and its parent.

You could invent intricate arms length contrivances and claim independent operations, but unless each corporate entity has clearly independent capital structure, claims of independence are liable to be interpreted as fraudulent in English or judicial evaluation. Multinationals using offshore treasury vehicles use companies limited by guarantee and partnerships for avoidance of this category of responsibility.

The FDIC and other comments make it easier to see that the problem is widespread. Otherwise the FDIC wouldn't need so much boilerplate putting the onus on the respondent to deliver complete record of all misleading and unlawful communication.

Edited: replaced "guaranteed by share capital" with "limited by guarantee".

Only when one equates "developers === UNIX", which is why so many still don't get Apple developer's culture, even with two decades of OS X.

C++ on the Mac was already a great development experience with Toolbox and Metrowerks PowerPlant.

Copland was going to be fully based on C++.

If you look close enough to NeXT's history and how Steve Jobs thought about UNIX beards, NeXT only supported UNIX as means to compete against Sun on the workstation market.

His reluctant appearance at USENIX is well documented.

Everything was supposed to be coded with Objective-C frameworks, down to the device drivers.

If anything those "developers" are now finding out that they should have been giving money to Linux OEMs instead.

While Microsoft discovered that that group doesn't really care about Linux per se, only having POSIX toys around, and given that Linux compatibility nowadays matters more than POSIX (even other UNIXes have Linux compatibility layers), they decided to reboot SUA with WSL.
Yeah we lost the battle of performance, mac m1 chrome easily runs 2-4gb with few tabs open.
There hasn't been much of an "Italy" until about the time the USA got a second coast. And the warfare that lead to it happened mostly under the general banner of independence, so an already-independent republic failed to register as an enemy. The unification wasn't a goal, it was a sacrifice taken to have a better chance at independence.

> Isn't there a requirement for all cube-sats to pass radiation tests / shock tests or whatever for them to be accepted for launch?

The launch provider usually doesn't care about radiation tests. For CubeSats they mostly only want to see vibration test reports.

Now, you and your user(s) will want to make sure that the satellite will work for a certain time while in orbit. So you throw all the functional and environmental tests that you can reasonably perform at it. And indeed, that's where you spend a lot of money.
Zig Self-Hosted Compiler Upgrade Guide
I wonder if it wouldn’t be easier and more robust to disconnect homes with power walls from the grid during peak demand.

Adding 50k additional active elements to the grid makes me worry about edge cases like well-coordinated software bugs or cyberattack.

If we didn’t arbitrage electricity and charged real time cost, we might be able to realize far simpler solutions to our demand response issues throughout. Heavy industry already does variable rates. I don’t understand why residential and commercial customers are expected to be isolated from reality. You always pay for it in the end - usually more than if you just paid up front.
I want to know why a company as big as Amazon was still using gzip in 2022....

Sure - it's a handy tool. But at scale surely someone had enough time to research better options? And at Amazon scale, it probably even pays to hire a team to write a custom compression algorithm perfectly tuned to your compute and storage?
It looks more corporate than Discord despite being worse in every other way. It's been years and they are adding low quality features at a fraction of the rate of Discord who is still thriving. It also has better GSuite integration, I suppose?

I guess one other thing about Slack is that I can completely ignore it after work. Like having work inside a single app that is for nothing else. For some godawful reason Go and Kotlin decided to use Slack, but that just means we can safely ignore those places.
Why not? The figure example seems like a perfectly valid use-case. How else would you do something like that?

Edit; I actually had a use case were I was building an expanding menu, without JavaScript, it involved a ~ and > selector on a checkbox to get that to work. The :has selector would’ve made it straight forward.
Yes we actually need to use exponential backoff when calling a lot of WIN32 APIs in our polyfills, due to the way Windows is. There's also layered service providers like Komedia which need to be worked around by a C library implementation. Supporting Windows also means that being falsely accused of being malware is the norm rather than the exception. It got so bad once that Google started delisting our websites. Microsoft even considered our Hello World executables a "severe threat". https://twitter.com/JustineTunney/status/1541801499210092544 The way I fixed it is every time I compile a program I upload it to Microsoft Security Intelligence and ask them to whitelist it. Sometimes I'll just zip up the build output directory into a giant zip file and send them hundreds of executables at once, and they'll whitelist them all. Needless to say, WIN32 related features aren't the highest on our list of priorities right now. We're actively working on getting Microsoft to address their biases regarding open source executables.

Regarding the C:/ vs. /c/ thing, we got away with not caring for the longest time, because our programs are generally designed to (a) always use relative paths, and (b) never call chdir(). However porting Python changed that, since Python likes to be clever with paths. So I'd say it's really the end of a realization, not the start.

Thanks for your kind words. I kinda got frustrated with my LiveView series since I started so early when it was in so much flux and have kinda been waiting for it to hit 1.0 before publishing more. One in every four episodes or so was an upgrade of the project and I kept getting incoming email from people trying to follow my series on newer library versions.

I have to give a shoutout to my friends literally down the street who do this: German Orbital Systems [1] + EXOLAUNCH [2].

Then there's also some other companies who make the satellite bus and other parts for CubeSats like GOMspace [3] and NanoAvionics [4] (it looks like they have started doing launch and mission ops as well).

> wonder why humans are unable to devise a society where useful change occur swiftly when necessary.

It does within free markets. Universities and professiorial societies are notoriously elitist, exclusive and x-poly
> Electron is not a good option either.

Nobody is saying that. It's a good stop gap for building cross platform apps that don't need to be rewritten every 2 years, when MS and Apple design PMs launch a new fad framework. (Friendship ended with rounded flat buttons, new best friend is glassomorphism)

What people want is primarily a good rendering target, and for that you just need a webview. You can port many electron apps to Tauri today and reduce footprint to native levels. OS vendors have slowly and reluctantly come around to provide webviews.

> It defeats the entire point of making a desktop app in first place.

Absolutely false. Sure, there are a few apps that could have been web only, but have you seen Electron's API surface? It provides a ton of useful features for apps that can't be achieved through the web, such as.. Opening a file by path.

> It's slow, wasteful[...]

Electron is perhaps slow to start, but fast afterwards unless you bloat it with your own crap. And electron is wasteful though, a lot. However, webviews used correctly has no meaningful perf downside. In fact, JS- and web rendering engines are some of the most optimized pieces of code there is.

> [...] abstracts too much of the filesystem away for a desktop app

I'm not sure what you mean? Electron provides the Node APIs directly, which are similar to any other std lib. Speaking of abstracting the file system, have you seen Apple's "bookmarks" they created for persistent file permissions within a sandboxez app? That's abstraction for you.

> [...] doesn't integrate into the OS

Partly true, and it should be better. Any cross platform UI framework is at a disadvantage because native is completely non-standardized. At the same time, web gives you accessibility, zoom, system fonts, rtl, locale etc, so it's much better than most bespoke UI frameworks.

> [...] doesn't use the OS-provided UI widgets

Text fields and similar inputs are native by default. For say sidebar nav, it's again not standardized, so you have to either provide high-maintenance-greatest-common-denominator APIs or trouble the developer with per-OS moving target APIs. I understand why devs don't bother, and as a user I prefer that VSCode works the same across my computers over 2-3 per-OS uncanny valley same-but-different experiences.
You might be interested in the Michael Madsen documentary "Into eternity" about the Onkalo waste repository in Finland, that should supposedly last 100 thousands years. It's mostly about the difficulties of conveying a message of danger to future generations (or civilizations)

A very interesting topic is that they hope that the repo is forgotten, nobody will remember about it and nobody will go looking for it or become curious about it and what's inside of it, as it is described "a place we have to remember to forget".

The PRC doesn't even get to decide who goes to Taiwan, who do you reason that they get to decide what is done with Taiwan?.
> Isn’t that because it comes with a Unix shell? I’m using wsl and only like 1 or 2 gui programs can talk with my Linux files in a reasonable fashion.

Can you elaborate? I've been using WSL1 as a tool to operate on files on my Windows file system and haven't had any issues. (As an aside, I'm actually very pleased with this approach.) Are your issues specifically with GUI programs running through WSL? I'm just checking to make sure I don't get locked into a workflow that causes me problems down the road.
If you have a good idea, a good team, funding arranged for now, and you’re talking to customers, why focus on anything else than that last item?

YC sounds like a distraction and personal obsession rather than something that would benefit your company at this stage.
Usually iPhones are unquestionable winners in video quality and getting consistently good photos every time. Samsungs are a mixed bag with photos, sometimes really good photos, sometimes bad. In a course of a day or a holiday where I’m taking photos/videos in various scenarios without thinking about it too much, a much higher percentage of iPhone’s media is usable in say, making a montage, than any androids I’ve tried.

In summary, for your day to day needs, iPhones are clear winners every time.
Phoenix is pretty nice, but its (or Elixir's, rather) biggest weakness is the lack of static typing.

the ridership will be very high. the capacity will be shit because it's managed by a consultant mafia and criminally incompetent politicians who have gone out of the way to deliver the least train for the highest amount of dollars. the transbay terminal is nigh unusable as a train station [1], and instead of leaving the caltrain right of way as soon as possible (ie south of redwood city across the dumbarton through altamont) it's going to run in mixed traffic for caltrain's entire route, operationally crippling both caltrain and CAHSR and requiring huge investment in unnecessary quad tracking to claw back some of the capacity that would have come for free if altamont was built. all because san jose politicians have an inferiority complex and demand that diridon is served on the mainline, when it isn't even important enough to be served on a branch.

a great idea, ruined by the transit industrial complex

building pacheco instead of altamont is going to go down in history as the greatest failure of all time in bay area transit, surpassing even the impressively cursed BART SFO extension

Windows window management doesn't really scale well beyond 3 monitors either. I use AHK with great results, and I imagine Mac has a similar non-native program. That being said, I've never even tried to migrate to Mac or Linux because I'm most productive with 8 monitors and the support for that number sounds abysmal on anything but Windows.
> Isn't there a requirement for all cube-sats to pass radiation tests / shock tests or whatever for them to be accepted for launch?

I guess the launch provider doesn't care whether your satellite will actually work and survive in orbit. They just don't want it to break into pieces during launch and damage the rest of the payload. So they most likely just want vibration tests.
There are anarchist experiments that lasted much longer, even in the United States. Modern Times in New York was a town that used "labor notes" instead of dollars (within their own community at least), and they had no jails. They existed for 13 years. Eventually some gossipy rumors spread that this eccentric town (which it was) was just a bunch of "free love" weirdos (they were not). The founding members and strongest personalities either moved or passed away, and the remaining people got tired of defending themselves to others, so they reorganized the town as Brentwood. The public library in Brentwood has a neat collection of writings and artifacts from Modern Times, and I once spent a fun day there looking through their collection.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopian_Community_of_Modern_...

Home, WA was more explicitly "anarchist." It lasted for about 18 years, and I think from the beginning they had a rough time from neighboring towns as it was founded right about the same time McKinley was assassinated. McKinley's assassin was a self-proclaimed anarchist, so overnight the word "anarchist" became notorious and dangerous in mainstream opinion. There was, again, much outside gossip about the town being a weird "free love" town (which was not such a baseless claim in this case). Internally, it seems people never really agreed on social norms about being nude in public spaces, either.

As to your point of defense, I once heard someone describe that as the major difference between anarchism and Marxism. Marxists generally believe that the State needs to be seized from capitalists, and then we must use the power of the State to oppress the oppressors. That is supposed to be a transitory period, and eventually the State will have squashed all capitalist opposition, at which point the State "withers away." The anarchists see all that and say we should try to jump straight to the good part :)

I had this exact same problem with Citrix Workspace. I tried disabling Wi-Fi scanning but had mixed results with that for some reason. Now I have bought a cheap Wi-Fi extender for maybe $30 and plugged my desktop’s Ethernet jack into it. So far this is working extremely well. I disabled the other Wi-Fi extending features of the extender, so essentially it’s a huge Wi-Fi to Ethernet dongle.

I find it stupid that I have to employ such a janky solution to this.

Citrix Workspace on the Mac does not have this problem, but using an old MacBook Pro for this was undesirable for various reasons.
I'm surprised they aren't using an FPGA solution

It's a more user friendly IRC with many extra features. While pro users might still prefer their IRC terminal client with text only commands (that's also what I prefer), it's clear that most users prefer a fully featured rich UI with things like video calls in addition to chat.
I have some general advice, although it’s hard to be specific with the details you give.

1) Don’t lie / make a new account - poor ethics, poor signaling about ethics, poor signaling about thinking about being rejected from YC.

2) YC today is not what it was ten years ago; different people, different place in the market, different cohort makeup. It’s still a thing that will boost your social capital in the west coast startup world, but I think from reading your post that you’re probably a little stuck on the white whale of your early 20s - might be worth looking at recent batch companies with a hard eye to see if they still fit your dreams for yourself. In particular, I would note a tendency over the last ten years for more and more of a batch to be companies that service other YC batch companies. This is a sensible strategy during a glut of VC in a startup boom market - you have high trust early sales, and your company gets to scale along with the peak scale of the rest of your batch - however, in choppy waters, this high volatility strategy may not work as well, or at least needs some consideration.

3) If you have a team, talk proudly about them, bring them along for interviews, etc.

4) Don’t spend too much time on this - go get some sales. If you have a great team, some sales, and have bootstrapped, you’re golden - perhaps more likely to get in to a batch, but definitely more likely to win and build something valuable.

Finally, I’ve solo foundered nearly 30 companies, and cofounded a number (5-ish?) in my life - YC’s preference for non-solo-founded companies is a reasonable preference - but it’s informed, at least in part by the milieu - early stage startup with (originally) grad-student age founders. As you know, starting a company is super hard. It’s super lonely, and you want to get off the ride, all the time. Building those co-founder social and ethics skills are a good thing to do, but they’re not the be-all and end-all of business - your best partners for your new company might not prefer equity to cash, or you may just have a lone wolf type temperament where cofounders are going to piss you off and be distracting.

Like so much in startups, it’s up to you to decide what parts of the preferences of others (in this case VC) are because they have real wisdom about your situation and what parts are, while generally helpful, not the best thing for your company / your leadership.

Good luck!
Do you need to get into YC to make Act 3 successful? Or do you just want it because you've wanted it for a long time? If you need external funding or connections, I can see it being helpful, but otherwise it sounds like you're doing okay already.
Yeah I was only thinking of the original trilogy too.
