Isn't this really an issue with SAFEs that have pre-money terms? Genuinely asking bc idk. I thought post-money SAFEs kinda solved for this. Less favorable for the founder, but far less complex when dealing with multiple investors.
Crazy. Here in the UK most properties have boundaries you can also find out who owns it for a nominal fee. (For unregistered land it's not that you can't have the data for free, it's that the data doesn't really exist)

Presumably the government is the arbitrator of who owns the land, surely in the US that makes it public domain?

(That said in the UK I get the feeling it's only free [0] because it came from an EU Directive)

If Obsidian ever added some good inking/handwriting recognition stuff, it would be a contender for the best note taking app out there.
If they were withholding taxes, I would guess that, in most jurisdictions, they would be required to notify you formally, and quite possibly the taxing authority as well.
What do you despise about their serializers? What would make them better or what would be a better approach for you?

> using the fastest available path.

I don't understand how in this day and age that this is a value proposition. Shouldn't all transfers occur on the fastest (or near fastest) path?
What is the definition of too much land? If I save up for my entire life making $100k a year across the family and buy 100acres should the gov be able to tax me off that land?
That's fair. I was trying to guess where the misunderstanding arose from and I guessed wrong. I'm sorry about that.

Rounding out the previous thought, the idea with many forking servers is to boot up to the point before a request is served and then fork off for each request. You do gain CoW benefits, but if you have any lazy data structures that are reified in the call, now each child is faulting. Pitchfork will take a child that has processed a request and promote it as the parent, replacing the original process. Now, this new parent is the new CoW base with the expectation that forks from that will result in even greater memory sharing. For a framework like Rails, there's a lot that happens after a request is received.
Common misconception, but Obsidian itself is not open source
War is a general consequence of monetary system problems, so just blaming it on the military wanting to be bigger (which is true for every organization) doesn't look totally at the big picture.

I love Shelling out: The origins of money blog post from Nick Szabo as it's a great explanation of how having a hard monetary system with small inflation shared by everybody the parties to be more peaceful.

US had a trade relation with China where China was buying US bonds, but as US was issuing lots of new bonds China lost trust, and started selling it thereby opting out of the US bonds based monetary system.
> It is very clear that he doesn’t believe his own nonsense (did you follow the trial?). He’s not “crazy” in the sense that he does not comprehend reality, but rather in the sense that he is a psychopath who doesn’t have empathy for other humans and doesn’t have any respect for society and its basic norms and rules, including civil/criminal law.

Was just thinking about the economics of those "spirit of halloween" stores being a short term tenant of last resort for REITs and other property management firms, and if there were a way to do it for used and returned books, it could improve street life and sustain or raise the property value of the locations. Instead of promoting them as garbage outlets like discount book stores do, it could be somewhere welcoming.
Current org-mode user here, former Obsidian user. Although much more extensible than apps like Joplin, Notion or - god forbid - Evernote, Obsidian comes nowhere near the freedom you have in Org-mode. You can customize Obsidian to fit your workflow to some extent, but not by a whole lot. Then again: for most people that is enough. Most want to drive a car, not build it.

There is afaik no such thing as an org-agenda in Obsidian, which is a deal breaker for me. Also to do list handling is shoddy at best (it would probably be a perfect app if that got integrated, e.g. via a todo.txt format with a calendar) but alas.

If I weren't an org-mode user, Obsidian would probably be my pick. It is very nice in everything it does, but it just doesn't have that "edge" of creating a setup that is ugly, complicated an unrecognizable from its default. It may be ugly, but at least it's _your_ ugly.

I don't get the multiplexer vs matrix argument. Wouldn't multiplexers add their own problems? You need to wait for the output to become stable when you change the input select. I'm guessing as part of the scanning, they are changing the SEL of the muxes and then waiting? The article seems to gloss over that completely.

I would have thought they'd be super cheap anyway, if you're looking at $200 keyboards, spending a dollar or so to get a few muxes doesn't seem like a big deal. If they were truly better, I imagine every keyboard enthusiast would be using them.

Edit: I guess since they have multiple muxes, they change the SEL well in advance before scanning the key. So it just requires "clever" scheduling. Just like a matrix requires "clever" diodes, I really don't buy that muxes are an advantage here.

I’ve seen some properties like this. What they didn’t tell you is there is no road access, you’re surrounded by gov land (and they want your plot to finish the set), and you generally won’t be able to access the land without an easement. That’s why the cattle are still there, they can’t get a truck in there to move them.

On the other hand, if, say, an opera cannot attract a sufficient audience to balance their books, why should they be kept afloat by the taxpayer (who obviously isn't interested otherwise there would be a sufficient audience...)?

They must be forced to program at least a sufficient number of popular and commercially successful shows to pay the bills and finance the more demanding ones (to continue on the opera example).

It's not necessarily about making money but the market does not lie: To be able to balance the books is the acid test when it comes to seeing if there is an actual, viable interest in something.
I'm still waiting on one of these upstarts to implement the most essential features of the "first gen" apps, like inking/handwriting.
I would feel out the rest of the team, see about their opinion of the guy.

My other consideration would be on whether or not I've actually let this employee know that there was a problem.

Did they know they were on the edge of being fired? Did they know their performance wasn't up to expectations?

And I mean, were they explicitly told these things? Are these things documented?

Because if the team doesn't like him and you have multiple documented instances where you told him his performance wasn't adequate and his job was in jeopardy then do you could fire him 5 seconds after you read this message. In that case was given every chance and threw them away.

But if you've just been mostly silently stewing about this and giving passive aggressive hints that he needs to step up, with your only note being "I need this now". Or if the team thinks he's pulling his weight and that what's being asked of him is too much, then you should let him vest. Because in that case, you're the one who made the mistakes.

Basically, determine who made the mistake to let it get to this point. And that should tell you whether or not to let him vest.

I'm willing to bet it's more latter than former considering you're here asking for advice rather than printing out all of your documentation to show him why you're firing him.
https://totalrealreturns.com/ has now been updated with this morning's CPI-U data release. It continues to update every night a few hours after market close.

On an inflation-adjusted (real return), dividend-reinvested (total return) basis (i.e. in terms of real purchasing power):

Stocks are down -29.6% from their peak on 2022-01-03

Bonds are down -28.3% from their peak on 2021-08-06

Tech stocks are down -39.0% from their peak on 2021-11-19 https://totalrealreturns.com/s/QQQ

In a Bogleheads discussion "How unusual is the current downturn? Actually pretty common." https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=387569 it is clarified and discussed that the stocks drawdown is fairly common, while the bonds drawdown is several times worse than the 2002-2003 lows or the 2008-2009 lows.

(This website is my side project, released 3 months ago as "Show HN: Inflation-adjusted stock charts – Total Real Returns" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32081943 . I've been slowly implementing many of the requested features from the comments thread...)

In the early days in the US every call was billed. If your call was to another city or even area code then it was a "toll" call and was even more expensive. That sparked the traffic in stolen calling card codes (an account with a long-distance telephone company). Most of these "codes" were only 4 digits so many people wrote programs to brute-force the codes. Then they were traded rapidly to spread the blame and, again, were treated as currency.

Later on some phone companies offered "call-paks" which allowed unlimited calls to numbers in the same area code. But that still didn't cover long-distance. FIDOnet was a clever way to let you call locally and still work nationally.

Operation Sundevil took down a lot of the hubs for trafficking LD codes, but by that time a lot of BBSes were turning into internet ISPs and modeming over long distances wasn't necessary. Things faded off after that.

This is easy to do with p5.js. You create a canvas at whatever size you want to print and draw to that canvas. Each frame, you take an image of the canvas and show it on screen in the browser. Wire up a key to save the full-sized canvas out to a PDF or PNG (or whatever) when you're ready to export for print. It's done very commonly by generative artists. There are several other ways to handle similar issues, too.
Congratulations, and also: holy fucking shit!! no app has changed my day-to-day life to this degree in many, many years.

I use Obsidian every morning on my roof deck for my journal (automated with the plugin, of course) and then at my desk all day long for my daily WTF blah blah info-capturing tool.

Sure I wish it had more features (persist collapsed/expanded state, even in a best-effort, might-not-last-forever kind of way! build in git support because apple makes it too hard for plugin guys to do on mobile!) but the fact that it is all just "standard" markdown and image files washes away all almost my complaints.

I use the paid Sync plugin, too (even though it's standard files and folders; could totally do it myself! could totally just use SyncThing! etc!) so that it is on all my machines and virtual machines. Perfect for sysadmin logs of things you touch only annually, e.g. Dad's iMac.

Show HN: Realtime Data in Google Sheets
At my previous day jobs I often was asked to create various reports from our databases and email someone a CSV. This got old pretty quick, as it distracted me from my actual assigned work. So I built a tool to automate it.

Today I am announcing the beta launch of this tool, SQL2Sheets https://sql2sheets.com/

It's a simple to use web app that connects popular SQL based databases and automatically update your Google Sheets.
> Depending on the quality of the switch, the bouncing time will vary. The most popular Cherry MX switches have a bouncing time of up to 5ms. This means the software delay should at least be 5ms or higher.

That is incorrect. You can register and send "key held" input on the first bounce, immediately, then just ignore the key for the debouncing interval. Probably still want some capacitance on the input to not get triggered by any EMI tho.

That moves the latency to key depress but as there is a very little chance someone presses key for less than 10ms it doesn't matter.

The "interrupt, wait, interrupt, send signal" method might be easier to code I guess, especially if you just have few buttons and use hardware interrupts for them.
It seems like there's an impact on the gut microbiome from infection, and I suspect that a dysbiotic gut microbiome is specifically a cause of severe covid. I think that's a relatively neat explanation for why countries that aren't pervasively obese & eating horrible food faired relatively better in terms of covid mortality.
Everything or almost everything stated in the article is true. That said, it doesn't matter. All software and software ecosystems are ephemeral and you can't know what you might need or want in the future, especially years down the road. All software lives in a constantly changing world so attempts to manage maintenance needs in the future can be a fools errand.

Yes, decouple your business logic from your frameworks and libraries as much as possible. Don't expect that to make your software more maintainable.

Yes, be aware the using a framework or any technology is coupling, but also be aware that you can't decouple from everything. Make the best decisions you can with the information you have now and have test automation to check for regressions.
Sometimes you have to make airplane noises to make a baby eat its food in the same way you have to convince the broader public that money isn't the only thing that is important in life. Family, friends, art, nature and philosophy are more important than making money, though seldom realized until people are on their death beds... I've never heard of anyone laying there dying saying, "I should have devoted my life to making more money", but those that did often wish they devoted their life to one of the items in the list above.
> For most guilds, the first contact with Molten Core was a difficult one, brutal even, despite having decent gear. Classic guilds can clear the raid with subpar stuff and even underleveled players at speeds we couldn't reach at the time.

This was only true at the very beginning of the original launch.

My guild played on the last set of servers released just before Naxxramas was released and on the very first raid timer with a shorthanded raid full cleared MC and cleared all of BWL except for the last boss. Even by that point (essentially the end of Vanilla World of Warcraft) the strategies for every encounter was known. Our guild's only stumbling blocks were the actually difficult mechanics that required coordination (Twin Emperors) and gear-check fights.

It's a hard thing to do though, designing a game encounter that doesn't have one optimal strategy.

> my interpretation is that degrees are only the best option when your target industry doesn't have good standards for training/mentorship

Incomes held stagnant through the rise of degree attainment, so I'm not sure that is a sound interpretation. Degrees have no effect on income. What we do know is that more capable people, for lack of a better description, are more likely to go further in school and in the workplace.

The ostensible explanation here is that the most capable, those most likely to end up in high level positions (C-level, managers, etc.) which typically pay more than other jobs and where union membership is unlikely (often forbidden, even), are also more likely to have degrees.

More data is welcome, though.
I am not sure how this comment relates to the linked article. Are you saying, in your example, that there was $2M of luxury "purchases" to report, but they aren't really economically meaningful transactions?
> it's not like Facebook wanted this or did it on purpose

Facebook (and in this case, its employees) certainly aren’t hurrying to fix a power structure that gives them arbitrary influence.
When you say "that are fake -- he's not a land surveyor, he's not licensed to sell these" it seems to me that the fakeness is based on who is providing them, not on what he's selling. Have I understood your point correctly?

I mean, if he were to obtain the relevant credentials, but did not change a single thing about what he's selling or how they're produced, would that mean the things he's selling are no longer fake?
They can, and article is just bad, as it completely ignores that and the fact you can use diodes to remove ghosting.
What is Facebook if not the people leading it? These people are high up in the organisation, and according to OP other people at other levels are also doing this on purpose. Perhaps personifying a huge company isn't the right way to go.
I use Obsidian for a very simple use case compared to everything it can do. Synced markdown across all platforms, simple lists in named files, share those files to other software to perform actions against those lists.

For this use case it is the absolute best of the bunch. I've used a lot of these sorts of complex second brain things and I've settled on a very minimal approach wherein Obsidian was the clear 'best in show' for what I needed.
OK but then how do we know how far the sun is from the earth? Is it like "bounce a signal off it and count time of flight?"

(Another serious question.)
Those two are actually a must for me. My team at work needed a wiki and I would only accept one with such features, eventually we found it. Still looking for something to self note taking. I'd also need something that can sync to phone cheaper, as currently I don't pay for Google keep

Plugin community - stuff like pulling tasks from notes, helping with various organisational systems, etc.

Editing in a somewhat rendered markdown - it's not quite full wysiwyg, but e.g, your heading blocks are sized right, your lists are rendered as bullets until you're editing that line, etc.

Notes first UI: Stuff like the rendered view toggle, links, inline image previews are more acccessible than in vs code due to their higher relative importance.
It's basically a Markdown editor, except not for a single document, but a collection — which might be all your documents.

Or some subset(s) sure, fine. It's flexible. But the huge value is more readily apparent when it is all the documents (for some meaningul value of "all").
