Not in "real time": blockchain settlement has to wait for a block. And you incur on-network transaction fees plus whatever fee the exchange imposes for transfers out.

(Besides, many people are "day trading" on these exchanges because it's a form of addictive gambling)

Oh and then there's "staking": https://ftx.com/staking which encourages people to keep tokens on the exchange by pretending to pay them interest rates. And offering various other multi-level-marketing incentives. I see "Free Daily ERC20/ETH Withdrawals : NaN" on that page, which is fun.

Do put this into perspective a bit:
The 25000€ are the capital up to which you limit your liability. Yes you have to have it because you are liable up to it. GmbH is not just a promise that you won't be liable for more. It is also a promise that you have the money to cover your liabilities. If you don't, you have to tell the authorities immediately and your company is insolvent.

No you don't need a UG for each founder.

Yes, this shit is complicated, but it's that way for a reason. In Germany having a GmbH is like a badge of honor and reliability. It means you are an upstanding businessman. People usually trust a GmbH more than a non-limited-liability company (GBR) even though with a GBR the founder is liable with his personal wealth without limit. Because for a GmbH you know they at least put down the 25k.

The IHK stuff is very unpopular in Germany, too. Nobody likes the IHK. It's like a guild thing from the middle ages. It's here for historical reasons. It's legacy shit we haven't gotten rid of yet.

The forms and the registers are there for a reason, too, even the Bundesanzeiger stuff. That means if you deal with a GmbH, you know the founder needed to pull their pants down in front of a public register. If you get scammed, you can find out who the proprietors are, the authorities know who they are, and they can actually be held liable.

The British tradition is very different from the German one. In Britain you could historically change your name just by using a different name. Criminals and scam artists made use of this.

The German tradition is that your name is known to the state, in fact you get an ID card with your name and photo on it. If people don't trust you, they might ask to see it. Your name is serious business. It carries weight. If someone knows your name, the law can get to you. There are no credit cards accidentally issued to dogs in Germany.

So while to you this may look like useless bureaucracy, it is really a cascaded "Are you really sure you want to do this? You will be liable for your actions. There are rules here. They will apply to you whether you know them or not."

All that said: You can actually buy a "GmbH-Mantel". Someone else did all the leg work, and you just buy the empty shell of a company which will be renamed and assigned to your name then. This can be done within a few days AFAIK.
Registering already seems daunting but it's nothing compared to what comes after - payroll, health insurers, taxes, dealing with import duties, various registrations, fax, constant cold sweat from missing important snail mail. The admin ordeal intensifies with unexpected twists and turns. Ask me in a few years if it was worth it.
It vastly reduces the complexity of things like dependencies, testing, CI/CD, versioning.

Dependencies can be relative paths. Relative path dependencies will break the build on your machine, so you don't get devs pushing broken stuff. CI/CD servers don't get plugged up with billions of repos building because one changed. CI/CD servers don't need to wait for other builds to finish and push artifacts to do their job. Testers don't need to say "I used version 10.2 of x and 11.5 of y", they can have a single version number for the whole stack.

All these things are possible with microservices in different repos. But they require a lot more time to set up and require regular maintianance. If your company isn't large enough to need that, then it makes no sense to move away from a monorepo.

Arguably no company is big enough, Google has all it's code in a single 80 terabyte monorepo. But I can understand why that wouldn't scale well either...
I think people who made decision to hire him and people who made layoffs are different people.
But there are degrees, also in two days this person has probably close to zero social safety network in Canada. No friends, no colleagues, no acquaintances at other companies. Even 2 or 3 months would have allowed them to start having some friends and do some networking.
Video explains the principles of confidential cloud computing. A new technology hyperscalers are slowly adding to their offerings.
What do you mean by "logical flaw" in these sort of motivational/inspiring-type quotes?
This is a similar vibe I was getting too honestly. I checked out the git repo thinking about doing some contributions, but the more I use mastodon the less it feels like the user is being cared about at all. There's a load of cult of technology thinking going on, and choices to remove stuff users expect ('favourite' counts on the timeline) because of idealism ("it will give favouritism to posts with high counts).
I don't know how you've seen it, but I've seen it mean exactly that. A one-year cliff means that your whole year (usually your first) vests at once, in one day.
Coming from the other side (as a dev): I'd love to use much less JS in my pages. A static portfolio shouldn't require JS. However, the reality is that a completely static HTML page written by hand is hard to maintain, and browsers disliked the idea of reusable components without big frameworks like Vue or React, loading them into the DOM dynamically.
Last time I remember fighting with Pin was when working with async in Wasm (a single threaded environment). It seemed to me that the complexity justified the cost. Go, for example, is a no-go for Wasm. As a result, I don't think the two languages are comparable.

Outside of family and public school, I began my education in libraries, second-hand bookstores, and thrift shops. Thank you for calling our collective attention to these resources.
It certainly does. I'm writing this in a cold apartment in Kiev with no electricity and very low cell signal.
RMS have stated in several interviews that doing development in the open "bazaar style" is not required. Cathedral is equally valid, and he doesn't care.

It's the open source marketing campaign that said that Bazaar is preferred and claim it give superior outcomes.

Ive never seen any requirements for documentation. I guess in the 80's 90's code bases were not yet so complex and had som many dependencies as today. I think this article makes a very valid point.
A lot of H1B visa holders has been impacted by the layoffs at Twitter.

Though it then, by definition, makes it not a Ponzi (at that specific point), since Ponzi implies deception : banks are also unable to pay everyone at once, yet they typically aren't called "Ponzi".
Depends on if 1) Did Meta ask him to move? 2) Did they change their remote work policies such that he does not have any other choice but to move? 3) Was he working in Meta India, and being sent on an on-site opportunity, in which case, some prefer to move with their families.

If answer is yes to any of the above questions, then yeah Meta is at fault. The person deserves atleast a contractual position till he is able to move back to India or find a job in Canada. Alternatively, he can be compensated to account for the complete disruption of his life. People in India liquidate assets to move abroad. This may be an absolute life changing and costly decision for him and his family.
I have been laid off, or close to being laid off in that I had to leave, something like 3 different positions since the start of the pandemic and unemployed for around 6 months (doing amazing now in a recent role but that is besides the point). Was borderline close to being forced to move back in with my parents. I never got a story written up for me about that. I feel sympathy for many of those folks, but why should this guy, or anyone else at META, get so much press for themselves? These things have happened quietly in the background all the time in the industry in the past and nobody bats an eye until now because "META." It is kind of annoying.
You have it backwards. The evidence for a cluster is the cluster now in need of maintenance, and it's the clustering by maintenance cycles and how they occurred which matters, not start date.

Start date is by no means the only thing affecting later clustering of maintenance need. That's also easily achieved by for example deferring maintenance too long, or structuring of past maintenance cycles.

Understanding how to avoid maintenance cycles syncing up is critical for any risk management of large systems.

This is entirely separate from whether or not one supports nuclear, and an issue relevant for any type of generation. Or indeed managing any kind of system that includes any physical plants or machinery at all.

How that affects whether you see a given type of plant as viable is an entirely separate issue.
I've been in this situation many times.

> However, the regular expression module is a C module that doesn’t release the GIL before running.

I would love to know why.
These sort of controllers have already been repeatedly attempted for use in gaming for the past decade or more. While working examples do exist and are sold commercially, they just aren't practical, so they haven't caught on.

So I wouldn't have high hopes for this yet, because clearly the technology just isn't there yet to enable high-fidelity brain noninvasive brain interfaces. But it'll never get there without attempts and funding, so it's good to see DARPA work on this.

Personally I'm more excited for commercial applications of things like the synchron implant (https://synchron.com), but those are pretty damn far from viable as well. And also I'm biased because I want to control everything with my brain at all times.
I would wager it is
Gender pay gap closing among German board members: men are slowly catching up
Doesn't the fact that it applies to any such choice make it not vacuous but all the more profound?
First: in most of the world the first 8 to 12 years are already focused on general knowledge with plenty of history, arts, culture, social studies, etc. Not job training.

Second: "civilization building", "maximally realizing human potential" and so on are occupations that very few individuals can have. Civilizations simply don't have the disposable resources to sustain a significant portion of their population focusing on such things.
I suspect that over the next few decades we will see the countries with the lowest birth rates start to push massive incentives for having more children.

The global economy runs on growth. If the population starts noticeably declining, it’ll take the economy down with it.

Actually using crypto is ridiculously complicated compared to a SEPA transfer from your bank account or a shares trade in an app.

People like the path of least resistance which is why everyone uses exchanges- it's easier than using your own cold wallet.
Exchanges for good or ill has made crypto accessible to the masses.
One person I know in Seattle worked for 2 months before layoff day and didn't get severance package. Probably 90 days is minimum working time.
On a slightly related note, whenever I see a generated face with other faces in the background, and those faces are warped in strange ways, I get a very unpleasant sensation, like a chill going up my spine. Does anyone else get this?

Example: https://imgur.com/a/eK0jMZx. I can look at it after getting used to it, but at first glance I have to look away.
Dealing with the IHK, like in paying one single invoice per calendar year? Not that I ak very happy with paying my IHK fees for a basically non-operating company, but the actual effort of dealing with them is like 5 minutes every 12 months.
I dont think that's true in canada. IANAL but i was under the impression that if you are fired you are still allowed to stay until your work permit expires. Its only usa that has the problem you describe.
Clickbait - the article barely goes out 100 years, mostly focusing on the next few decades. Too bad because it’s an interesting piece on its own, but no discussion at all about the never.

Obviously we have no idea how things will play out in the next few thousand years or more, but it is certainly possible that in the future there will be more alive than today.
I believe that if we provide care for the elderly, then inevitably, people will abandon their parents/grandparents. The reason East Asian societies have such strong family support systems is largely necessity: government-provisioned safety nets are very lean by Western standards.

I don't agree with any policy that in the long run, engenders government dependency. I believe such policies do far more harm in the long run than good.
I'm wondering if that makes Meta look any better.. I am receiving invitations to move to Canada or to US, I have also spent more than a decade working in different countries.. I can relate to that person, it's horrible that any company can do something like this with no consequences.
Lately, stand-up comedians have been saying they're out of a job,
because the absurdity of reality is escaping parody. Nothing stays
funny for long, because soon enough it's true, and then banal.

In a world where all things are absurd, ipso facto nothing is absurd.

An interesting question becomes what remains? What are the solid
relations that underpin our humanity?

Having a boss that tells you what to do? No, long since passed the
point where I have to tell my boss what to do - it's called being the
consultant in a clueless, inverted meritocracy.

People wanting to take your money? No. The insane conceit of a
"cash-less society" has already created situations where you cannot
physically force someone to take money from you.

I'm honestly struggling to see what is cast in stone. Even death and
taxes are looking worried. <shakes fist at clouds>
Fundamentals mean house prices should be higher than before, but that doesn't prove they should be this high. The population didn't double in five years. Such high-flying markets attract lots of speculation, especially in the last few years. The higher prices go, the more it attracts people to jump in and the thing accelerates, though the price relative to the fundamentals is actually getting worse and worse. How can it not overshoot? Look at what happens with worthless cryptocurrencies...
How is it different from "If you ever go down the JNI road in Java"? Be it a library the bundles RocksDB, or Android stuff, doesn't matter that your average Spring Boot developer probably won't be having any native dependencies (unless they use Kafka Streams or something else that bundles a native dependency that had CVEs that needed to be patched). Just as a Rust high-level Back-End developer that works with axum, sqlx, tokio etc. (vs Netty/NIO in Java for example, which also use unsafe/native code) hopefully won't be using buggy unsafe libraries.

Does the JVM protect you from partial reads? On Hotspot or on say, GraalVM's LLVM runtime too? Does Go? I assume they at least protect you from stale read UAFs by virtue still being traceable. (This is a genuine question).
That is not battery powered and judging by the lack of side photos I imagine it is unsatisfyingly thick.
Twitter's suffering from mad bro disease. Open thinking can build it back better
Nothing can ever be completely secure, but one can increase the security.

The aspect of security I talked about is reducing counterparty risk. What one can do to reduce counterparty risk is to have multiple systems, make them as independent as possible, and compare the output they create.

Example:

1: An air gapped Dell laptop with Electrum on Linux

2: Another air gapped laptop. From Lenovo with Specter on Windows.

Create your seed phrase offline with dice and put them into both.

Every address you create, every transaction you sign - do it on both systems and compare the output.

Now, both systems would have to be faulty/malicious in the same way to harm you.
But its definitely memory safe. :-)

AnonAddy and SimpleLogin also offer this, it's very neat. Added bonus that, assuming each email is service_name@domain.com, you'll know exactly who has leaked your email if you start getting random spam.
You can choose both the law and forum in many types of commercial agreements. Typically international contracts will choose English law as the governing law.
I started teaching in further education when I turned 50. I'm really enjoying working with people again as I see it. It has it's own challenges. In saying that, if I contacted a colleague in the evening or the weekend they would assume I was either sick or had to attend a funeral the next day ;-)
> I think there’s this transformative opportunity in payments. And payments really are just the exchange of information. From an information standpoint, not a huge difference between, say, just sending a direct message and sending a payment. They are basically the same thing. In principle, you can use a direct messaging stack for payments. And so that’s definitely a direction we’re going to go in, enabling people on Twitter to be able to send money anywhere in the world instantly and in real time. We just want to make it as useful as possible.

> If you can simply have one balance on Twitter that can simply go positive or a negative, and when it goes positive, the interest rate is better than what you could receive elsewhere, and when it goes negative, the interest rate is lower than what you see elsewhere, now you have a much simpler system.

Interesting choice of direction...
Oh - all good.
Are the Rx/tx protocols really that symmetrical that an UT can receive and decode transmission from another UT? Since for cellular networks that is definitely not the case.

I'd say it's good we have so much press for this case, maybe he got attention you had not but in my opinion it's good for community if cases like this get highlighted, even if it's not my case...
Sounds challenging but in fact this is only playing on intermediate difficulty!

The real fun begins when you want a GmbH as a subsidiary of a foreign parent company (HQ is in the US for example). Now no bank will accept you as a business customer due to money laundering / compliance reasons -- that is unless you're already incorporated as GmbH. But guess what, to get the GmbH formed you need to show proof of deposit of the EUR 25k in share capital - in a bank account!

There's a trick to break this chicken-and-egg and it involves a notary (of course!), putting 25k in cash in an envelope, writing down some numbers into a notebook and then storing that envelope in a safe place until you can deposit it in your bank acct.

Receive letter from the Bundesanzeiger Verlag (this translates to “people that send letters that look like a scam, but are in fact not a scam”).

Live long enough in Germany and you realise that it is, in fact, a scam. Just a legally sanctioned one. Same as IHK, Rundfunkgebuehr and overpriced mandatory work insurance for office workers.
Even if something so absurd would happen, the version of the code from just before the change to a new license would still be available under the GPLv3. So everyone who wouldn't agree with this change (which would presumably be everyone), could simply fork the code from that point and continue under the GPLv3.

The more realistic risk of a CLA on GPL'ed code is that the person in control would switch it to a more permissive license without the copyleft restrictions of the GPL. That would actually have a negative impact that others can't mitigate by forking (although with a fork you could of course again make any new code added to the project the original license again).
I have no problem with you losing your money in a Casino or in Binance - the end result is inevitable with both if you play long enough.
> However, A/B testing has many vital issues, such as it can take really long time and take lots of resources

I no longer understand your product, when you explain it like this. Are you saying that with your product, product developers no longer have to develop features to test out?
Having empathy has nothing to do with recognising that lay-offs happen and that the fact that someone had just relocated is not a good reason to protect them from lay-offs. There is no wrong that needs 'absolving' here.

What the employer can be judged on in such situation is how they handle it and, indeed, how empathic and helpful their are, but that's a different issue.
Or, maybe your magic touch makes them go blow up. Consider that *you* might be the problem.. ;)

(Like Robert Lincoln, who witnessed 3 presidential assassinations. I bet he was persona non grata by their successor.)
Minima was, AFAIK, special real-time variant of the Genera system, with noticeable differences - it also ran a different firmware at least on Ivory (differences in FEP<->OS interface from what I figured spelunking in code).

Minima was also used for some debug tooling for building the machines themselves, iirc.
I agree. There are a few e-ink displays that include battery circuitry and a microcontroller, e.g. the Inkplate series. But nobody wants to mount a bare PCB or even a one with a 3D printed case on their wall. I wish they'd sell one with a nice picture frame case.

I mean I could definitely make one, but I don't really have time and I imagine most people don't either.
Digital photo frames are very common (LCD, not e-Ink). We bought one for my parents which even uses mobile data because they didn't have internet at home. I don't know about the Gmail requirement however.

> within the EU we definetely need a right to deal with all legal matters in english

German is by far the most common native language in the EU. (Germany, Austria, parts of Italy, Belgium, Denmark, ...) whereas English as native language is a small thing since Brexit with only Ireland and Malta.

But that aside: Translating legal texts with all details and traditional interpretation and adaptions by court rulings is a complicated thing. There can be a lot of nuance in each detail. And also once you do that you have to allow proceedings in English for the complete chain. From the clerk in the government office to the constitutional court.

But I think Germany would be somewhat open to that, but others, like France? Hard time to imagine them accepting anything but French.
It's arrogant to assume every US movie/TV show is indistinguishable from Marvel.
