> If they pay someone to create it, do you think that person should take ownership in the company?

What do you think the people working every day are doing? They're literally creating the company. If they don't exist, the company stops existing, because companies are just people working. Effort in, revenue out. Divide up the profits by the amount of effort put into the business.

If the founder wants to profit from their idea, they should be more worried about the equity they already have and their personal impact on its value than their annual compensation going forward. Continually getting paid for an idea you already had and were already compensated for is wild.
Sadly we hear so much of this on a daily basis as we are often sought out to support suspended Google Business Profile (GBP) accounts.

It's not uncommon to have these same small to medium sized business owners ask for help with other suspended accounts in other Google apps like GoogleAds or Google Merchant Center.

The support across all platforms is a growing eyesore for Google, and at this point I hope becomes the catalyst for real change in this space.

It was bad enough when Yelp would act like the Mafia in regards to how they approached and treated businesses, but this level of negligence (from such a tech giant) is something to really see.

I know it’s just anecdotal, but once you have some spend (around 1k a month I’m guessing), you get an account executive who I’ve been able to reach on the phone whenever I’ve needed. In fact they tried talking to me on the phone more than I wanted.

The point was pretty clear to me...that there's a person and a family on the losing end of all this. Giving the owners of a store a backstory is humanizing, OP gave as much detail as he knew which wasn't much and that's fine. It's a shame we're all so tense about cultural details that people get attacked for trying to say something nice.
Yea, specifically that prop-bet bingo cards are usually constructed that every line you could make includes some rare thing so that you don't just easily win with 5 obvious things. So if something happens that's "not even on my card" then the implication is that it's so crazy that someone wouldn't have even put this down as a "this will never happen" option for betting.

>Knowing your suppliers and that their goods are legitimate is a pretty basic function of a business

No it isn’t. That’s a pretty basic part of living in a country with rule of law.

Indeed, it’s strictly regressive.
Keep in mind that CEO pay has grown 37% more than the stock market (which would be the companies they are managing).

In 1978 GE had 330,000 employees.
In 2022 Apple has 164,000 employees, about half of which are in the US.

So if you're making 10x the revenue with half the employees, it stands to reason that the value of employees has increased on average by 20x... and if anything the CEO's value has increased proportionately less. Imagine the incredibly trivial case of a CEO who had 10 people under them in 1978 for $10 million in revenue, and now has 5 people under them in 2022 with $100 million. Sure, you might pay that CEO maybe 5x... maybe even 10x what you used to pay them in 1978, but you'd think, if anything you'd pay the employees more than 10x what you used to pay them (and you'd still be net ahead), because each one is far more valuable to you now.

Modern employees are expected to be more productive, and often expected to have more sophisticated skills & education than we expected in 1978... but we pay them proportionately less than CEOs that are expected to manage smaller organizations.

There's this odd notion that attributes most of the increased productivity to management, rather than the people doing the work.

I mean, from a European perspective who has been to the bay area semi-often, SF - San Mateo - Redwood City - Palo Alto - Mountain View - Santa Clara - San Jose is pretty clearly a continuous urban area and the fact that the subdivisions are considered separate towns and cities more an anomaly of historical origins and local government setup rather than something you would decide working from the definition of town or city.

In Europe, places that have been swallowed up by urban sprawl like that usually stop being called as such given time - no one persists in calling Chelsea, Charlton or Westminster cities now they're well inside the London urban area, and I suspect the same will happen to bay area towns and cities over the next 200 years unless it undergoes a significant population decline.

The shoplifting itself is committed by individuals and individual cases of shoplifting should be a reasonably light punishment. It’s not murder.

But a single person is not shoplifting $300,000 worth of merchandise. There’s two culprits: the ease of selling vast quantities of stolen items and from which follows the organized crime rings that facilitate it.

If you want to stop it, you need to crack down on both the fences (eBay, Amazon, etc.) and the organizers of these shoplifting sprees. Sure, punish the shoplifters too, but going after them won’t end it - there will always be someone in need of easy cash who can be recruited in their place.

You are assuming that the said site has an email confirmation workflow as part of the registration process (Granted most do these days, but it wasn't the case many years earlier). Even so, you are also assuming that the said site would block your usage unless you confirm your email.

Assuming one John Smith creates an account as john.smith@gmail.com ; and then another John Smith happens to create an account as johnsmith@gmail.com - and doesn't confirm the email right away (either the site doesn't ask for it; or doesn't really block any functionality - just keeps showing an annoying warning message). First John Smith can now easily take over the second account by triggering a forgot password workflow - for shit and giggles.

I think this is at the heart of the difference in opinion - if the free market efficiently determines the best use of resources.

My personal view is that it often doesn’t, and that where it doesn’t that the government should sometimes intervene.
Pardon my skepticism, but what is the cause of the drive of the current push for ActivityPub? This tech has been around for at least 5 years without much mainstream attention, but within the past couple of weeks it's all over HN.

Is this related to the twitter mess, and Mastodon being a natural successor? Then Mastodon bringing attention to the underlying protocol? Or is there some other less altruistic reason for the push?

Don't get me wrong, I've been following it for several years and I think it's neat, but I just don't trust my social feeds to always deliver content natuarlly and without bias.

Introduction To Applied Numerical Analysis (1971)

Digital Filters (1977)

Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability, and Statistics (1985)

I'm sure some senior decision makers at Tumblr also have this in the backs of their minds just in case this move works out well.

> There are ways to verify that too

I'm glad what that worked for you, but here you would be told to get back with a proper ID. Nobody at the bank would risk their job even for $150.

> There are ways to get your government ID when it’s lost

Yes, sure, just like hundreds of years before? The question here is what without an ID you can't get the same phone number => you can't request password recovery for bazillions of services which treats SMS as 2FA for the password recovery. Banking apps are one of those.

I would repeat again, but try to 'lose' your wallet and the phone, preferably in some place 500+km from your home. Your opinion on some account/password policies would change.
It clearly is true. I can actually watch it happen. You can too, if you go to arraignments in NYC. The line ADAs have no discretion to dismiss petit larceny (shoplifting) at arraignment. They need supervisor approval. There are other cases like driving under suspension (VTL 511 -- mentioned in GP) where they do have this discretion. There is a reason for the difference, which is that petit larceny is a priority.

Also, the DAs supported the "harm over harm" amendment to bail reform (CPL 510.10(4)t) for the explicit purpose of seeking bail in repeat shoplifting cases. And can you guess how they're using it?

You are conflating DA public statements with actual operational policy. It is nothing new that DAs claim to prioritize things that are not on their roadmaps.
>If you ran a store that repeatedly sold stolen goods do you think local police and prosecutors would ignore you?

Yes, if you operated your business in a way similar to Amazon the cops and prosecutors would in fact almost certainly ignore you.

A personal VPN hides my "True IP", but it doesn't mix my traffic with thousands of others and shift that ip randomly over a few days.

That's the great, albiet unfortunate, value of retail VPNs; other people are using them and your traffic mixed with theirs. Being a totally anonymous but unique individual is less valuable in today's marketing morass is less valuable than being one of many in a VPNs IP space.

> Typically, I will fall out with someone senior, like my line manager. It's normally over something mundane but definitely technical.

This is the most telling part. If it's mundane, I don't think it matters (for them) that the issue was technical. As mentioned in another comment, this likely leads to a loss of trust or respect. This can be both ways not just on one side.

There's a few ways to handle this: 1. accept the pattern and move on, 2. find ways to communicate better to reach some sort of agreement or compromise, 3. learn to "disagree and commit". One thing to realize is that as you report to your manager, they ultimately have the final say regardless of how technically 'wrong' it could be.

I too have had critical disagreements with senior technical or management. In some cases, I could let it go and work for a year or more before leaving out of boredom. Other times, if disagreements or lack of understanding recur, I may be on my way sooner. I've never regretted leaving and finding new opportunities. One thing that's worth trying is different sizes of companies and different stages of growth. Finding good large companies may be more rare as they're typically more conservative and move more slowly.

I didn't answer the question though. Is it just you? Maybe yes or only partly. But it also doesn't matter. It's also great that you can be so involved after 3-5 years, but realize that this is a double-edged sword. At the end of the day, it's a job that pays the bills for most people at the company. Take pride in your work but maybe not get too possessive about it, learn to let go like a child growing up and grow other parts of the system, there's always more. One thing that helps with the too much single-handed development is pair programming, alternating typing and navigating roles. If that doesn't work out, that's fine too--stick with what works.

Look at how much chaos came from just adding a few million people in a month. I don't see a way that goes better adding tens of millions in the same or shorter period. The best way for Tumblr to do it would be to:

1: Open source it

2: Make it federated with other Tumblrs. Probably using whatever BlueSky cooks up, or some similar effort focused on big platforms.

3: Offer a managed version the same way they do with WordPress for the majority of people who don't want to run their own

4: Provide an optional ActivityPub extension

5: Telegraph that federation is coming for the still probably too big main instance(s) to give administrators time to decide how they'll handle it: mute, block, allow, etc. This gives people who eventually migrate off in 6/7 a clear view of how instances plan to handle it.

6: Add ActivityPub support to the main instance(s). Make it opt-in.

7: Wait to see how it shakes out as people migrate to non-Tumblr instances. By now, probably 2-3 years in, there will be enough diversity in platforms and hosting options that most people will have some place to go that's appealing. We already see minimal AP instance software popping up that focuses on providing people with a Linktree/Caard-like experience where it's only a profile that's exposed to AP instances. Maybe even sites like that will add AP support! Posts from these could replace newsletters. (I know, a common claim for as long as newsletters have existed)

>It just doesn't make sense to me, he admits that Manhattan is the worst burrough for crime, then states that it is over incarcerating. How does one determine that?

It's tied in this foundational belief (and it's mentioned as one of the points) that incarceration leads to more recidivism. How one can reach this conclusion by taking overall violent crime stats into account (also all but one out of seven felony types are up in NYC) requires some logical legwork.

The fact that increases of petty crime and increases of serious crime are both happening yearly should be a red flag that makes us question the policy decisions, which again are based on not 'over policing' or 'over incarcerating'. It could be the two are connected, but you'd be accused of Broken Windows Theory.

It's hard not to see a general chaos as being contributing. The plexiglass seems like a symbol of that to many people.
