> But... as far as I'm aware he didn't hide any of this from his investors. They just handed over the cash no questions asked until the grift got too blatant (I think it was the trademark ownership/name change that was the straw that broke the camel's back.)

I find it interesting to try to derive rational explanations from seemingly irrational actions. If Softbank really are supposed to be some of the most sophisticated investors, did they get hoodwinked by an even more sophisticated conman or are they just colossally more stupid and failed to do basic due dilligence?

Though wildly speculative on my part, I can see a more cynical reason that would explain these seemingly incomprehensible actions. That is that Softbank knew Neumann was a conman from the start and they invested in him because he was conman. Why would they do that? Because the VC game has changed a lot in the 20 years since the first dotcom wave. Early stage VC firms no longer bet on making money from the long term health of the company. They can get their returns by selling to later stage VC firms. So it doesn't matter to them if the company's business model is bogus. They only need the company to generate enough activity and growth metrics to inflate the valuation into the stratospheric level and then dump it on late stage VC investors and then the public as the company makes its IPO. In this way it's not much different than a classic ponzi scheme. And in that case it's in Softbank's interest to find a conman who can pull off the charade long enough and well enough for them to make their exit.

The counter argument to that is Softbank didn't sell off a meaningful part of its position before WeWork filed its S-1. That's when everything really fell apart -- when the internal financials of the company were exposed and everyone could see what a house of cards the company was.

In that case maybe Softbank did get taken in just as everyone else did. Or maybe they just didn't expect Neumann to fumble the exit as badly as he did.

A version of MSB radix sort for sorting ints, doubles, or floats, or sorting structs by a single key of those types is here[0] and a version for sorting strings is here[1]. These are based on the MSB radix sort from this repository[2] which is associated with a technical report about parallel string sorts. I was only interested in sequential sorts, but this repository turned out to be a great resource anyway.

I don't think the LP core has access to PSRAM. So most of the networking would run on the mid core, and the LP core just makes decisions to wake up a bigger core based on the events it sees.
"Reputation takes a lifetime to build, but only seconds to destroy." - Arnold Rothstein (Boardwalk Empire)

I will tell myself that every day. Whether it be family, work or people in general, I have seen how good reputation and goodwill get vanished within just one act of impulsiveness.

Doesn't mean I am bad. Even just a harmless tendency such as curiosity, attempting to impress someone or just forcing yourself to fit in, will sometimes cost so much trouble. I have become comfortable of editing and deleting my ideas from the internet, but that doesn't work in real life (or in emails).

I remind myself that, I have saved myself from so many problems by restraining myself from acting. Empathy is a good technique to save myself, asking myself, "how my behavior is perceived by others? Have I truly listened before I came to a conclusion? Is compromise an easier solution?"

Mediocrity is a survival technique, and it saves you from yourself. It shouldn't be ostracized. People have done more harm by trying to do the right thing they saw fit. Be the person who is generally liked, or in the worst case scenario is forgettable.

Apple indeed has a monopoly on iPhones, which is a problem because they have a closed ecosystem that is not interoperable with devices from any other vendor. Once you're in the Apple ecosystem, in order to escape you have to buy yourself a whole new ecosystem.
At least with startups, are most founded by affluent people with free capital and time, or by those who sign a deal with VC? Afaik YC founders aren't thousands of bored millionaires, they're average middle class people with a college degree who quit their jobs to live on their seed investment for a few years, and share the spoils in the end with their employees and investors if the project succeeds.

Can you get away without initial starting capital if your startup has a very low chance of success? You need someone to be willing to eat the 99% risk of failure in exchange for proportionally high returns.

I imagine the same problem is much ameliorated if you were opening a pizza shop, a daycare, or a hair salon, where the business is more predictable?

If you are exclusively moving numbers around in an array, SIMD sorting sounds great.

But when you want to actually sort things, it's different. You have objects in an array, the objects will have one member which is a Key that you will sort the objects on.

In order to create a sorted permutation of the list, you either need to rearrange the list of object pointers (fast), rearrange the memory of the objects (slow), or you simply output a list of array indexes that represents what the sort order should be (fast).

Code that doesn't physically move the object memory around creates indirection. Indirection makes any SIMD sorting depend on scatter-gather in order to get data in. Scatter-Gather causes random memory accesses which don't cache as well as sequential access.
Both Binance and Coinbase have their "wallet" apps where u can get keys for your coins. They provide a slick interface to use them as well. However in this case, you are sharing your keys with the company which means:

1. they can pull your coins out anytime.

2. They can show your coins on their balance sheet which allows them to print more of their own coins (because they are backed by deposits).

Same, I got interested in trying it a couple years back and steam's support for games is what made it seem so accessible. I enjoy a mix of smaller games and AAA gaming but even it's AAA game support is impressive, I can play a good chunk of the CoD games and have been playing the recent battlefield and battlefront games with no issues. I've also been playing RDR2, GTA, DOOM, Borderlands, Cyberpunk, Shadow of War, Apex Legends, and many more with only a couple issues every once in a while, which is a tradeoff I'm willing to make. The only games I miss are Fortnite, Dead by daylight, and Rainbow 6 Siege, which I end up playing with friends using Nvidia Streaming.

As someone who works with WordPress-hosting: Simplicity.

A lot of people use WordPress for drag'n drop site building. Getting such sites over on Sqlite would increase uptime (less chance of failure withou the separate DB server), reduce support load (easier to move from other providers) and so on.

Alas, compatibility will not be that great with various plugins, so I fear adding SQLite this late will just have the opposite effect.

Closing line with the usual FUD around decentralization as a scary thing - even though it was centralization and privileged actors at the center of that centralization that has caused every major CEX collapse.

If we think an occasional CEX collapse is bad, the financial surveillance and political manipulation that would occur under a CBDC scheme is far more damaging to freedom and financial security in the long run.

Be vigilant of articles that slip in advertisements for CBDC - they are quickly becoming a propaganda weapon.

"A more promising approach is through central bank digital currencies that operate within the broader digital monetary system. This is an approach that builds on the trust embedded in central bank money, and could serve public interest in a future monetary system(opens a new window).

> With low-cost products, the strategic response for manufacturers would be to lower new product prices and flood the market, thus reducing the appeal of repair.

This isn't a bad thing. Let them sell their products as cheaply as they want, but as long as the repair option is cheaper than the buy new option, most people will repair. Even if it's cheaper to buy new many will still repair if that repair is easy enough. It's a lot easier to stick with something you know works, fits your needs, and is already in place than it is to throw it away and replace it by rolling the dice on some cheap electronic good from china which might not work at all, and may not do everything as well. The lazy/safe option is very attractive to consumers.

> If independent repair was widely available, products would have a longer lifespan, making them more valuable. Manufacturers would be incentivized to raise new product prices, which hurts consumers.

That doesn't make much sense. If everyone can just keep using their valuable old thing, companies will have to bring down the price on the new thing to get them to buy it. Even people who do buy the new version can sell their valuable old one to someone else who now doesn't have to buy the new one. In the face of reduced demand for a new product, raising the price for it would be crazy.

This comment thread doesn’t feel very relevant to the OP.

I think the business proposition from klarna is two things:

1. They have an ongoing relationship with the customers and that allows checkout/payment to be an easier process for customers. If the process is easier customers will be more likely to go through it. This is a big advantage Amazon has from just knowing your details. It also makes Klarna’s business look better to have this relationship with customers and they can maybe offer services too, eg seeing recent purchases in an app.

2. Lots of people like to buy things on credit. This isn’t new. Like credit cards before, Klarna allows people to buy on credit without the store needing to administer all their customers credit accounts. It also means the store can make sales to people who would only buy on credit. I think Klarna compete on price to merchants with credit cards here.

I guess there’s some argument to be made that no one should be allowed to buy things on credit but I think that’s pretty bad for lots of people. I guess you’d want restrictions on how badly one may suffer from failing to make payments and maybe that BNPL providers should better guess whether customers can afford things. I think that would be reasonable. It feels to me that the current incentives are for the cost of risk of late/non-repayment to go mostly into fees for late payers rather than an interest rate or fees to the merchant. Though if you look at credit cards, there’s a pretty big stratification by how likely people are to be good for the money and how wealthy they are in general. That feels like an important difference – klarna offers the same deal to everyone and maybe doesn’t think about affordability but your bank offers different rates/limits to different people. On the other hand those limits mightn’t help much as people get terrible care debt too.
This right here is it for me. I was the same, in high school there was a 50/50 chance if on a given day the rom I had installed could actually make phone calls, but I didn't mind... but obviously priority change over time.

Switching the iPhone I was struck by how damn smooth everything was. Years of XDA tweaks couldn't touch my iPhone 6 out of the box despite specs I had always seen as inferior.

My tongue in cheek saying will always be: I'll switch back to Android when you can rotate an app correctly.

For those not familiar with Android internals, the UI "framework" the OS provides doesn't support that basic use case. Phones are fast enough that it can be hidden with an animation, but unless an app explicitly signs out every view is torn down and redrawn in a new orientation.

It's a tiny thing, but to me it's the iconic symptom of Android vs iOS. That's a decision Android made to support devices with 256mb of RAM, but never prioritized improving on, and now Android UX is stuck with that nit for eternity.
You still have processes and mutual protection between them and the kernel with no-MMU, they just get less options about where they can mmap(2) and you have to vfork(2) instead of fork(2).

>The rich people of the past had no internet, cars, air travel, or much health care by modern standards. The average 2022 American is vastly better off materially.

No, while rich people in the past had no iPhones or internet, they had something far more valuable than that: income generating businesses and appreciable assets like land, housing, gold, fine art, jewelery, etc.

And no, the average American is vastly poorer now as housing, stable well paying jobs, healthcare and education, are now massively out of reach for the average joe than they were a few decades ago. Having iPhones and internet doesn't make up for these.
