The "spirit of the law" is to bend reality. Laws are always well intended but are often, to put it bluntly, stupid. If it were really that easy, we'd be living in paradise now. Just write another law!

The only thing wrong with the current situation is, unfortunately, anyone naive enough to believe that this law was supposed to have the intended effect. Otherwise, it's functioning exactly as any sensible person would have predicted.
I cannot be super specific due to the nature of business strategy.

If I share accurate info about what and how we sell things, It's very easy for opportunists and competitors to undertake us in this specific project while our processing solution is down temporarily.

What I will say though, is that we're not speaking vapes or anything borderline, more like kitchen and household appliances, and so on.
Basically, you described that it is pretty bad job. And the only way out is to stop doing that job and start being manager who pressures others to be faster at the bad job. Also, work is pyramid. You have one manager/business owner for many ordinary team members no matter how "smart" all of them are.

And even that, management and business skills are not the same thing as being good tradesman. Just like with programming, you can be smart and driven and not be management material.

The question was whether trades arw good occupation. Not whether you can be better off by stopping being tradesman and going into management.

Diplomacy only works if the counter party is willing to play by the rules. Russia is not such a party. And that has nothing to do with neocons, it has everything to do with the fact that they see diplomacy simply as yet another weapon instead of a way to reach common ground.

It’s startling how much things have changed from when I first started using computers, when it seemed that nearly anything could be improved through electronics. Nowadays adding a computer means malware, spyware and losing support after two years.
Like many legal terms, it has a specific meaning influenced by statutes and case law that differs from and is more precise than the standard dictionary definition. You’re not likely to win a legal case if your defence is pointing at ‘perpetual’ in your Webster’s. Although the lawyers might have a good laugh if you try.

We have been using Braintree since 2017, and no complaints so far.

As the business grew, they have contacted us a few times for risk related reviews and asked us to submit supporting documents. But they don't hold the funds first (unless you don't comply I guess) which I find a better approach on how to treat your customers and establish trust.
Other than sympathy, I think looking for legal advice on HN is always a bad idea. You are expecting to hire a lawyer anyway, and you should let them handle what sounds like a very straight forward business dispute.

The reason for closure of both accounts is that our business is “high risk”. I’m not sure what this really means in our case, as we just sell consumer electronics in the $100-200 price range

No judgment here, but is it sex toys? Because US-based companies are just really weird about that stuff and treat it as crime-adjacent for no real reason other than historical prejudice.

EDIT: you answered my question while I was writing it. I think you'll get better responses if you specify that it's kitchen/household goods.
We've sent out products to all the customers that have paid.

Stripe is now "considering" refunding all these customers, while holding 150k of our generated revenue.

Due to the products being bought and shipped, (and not even factoring in marketing costs) this easily equates to a total net loss of 250k for our business.

Currently I have a hybrid setup, where stuff that needs more compute or storage (which are cheaper if you buy hardware) runs locally in my homelab, whereas the things that need better uptime or more bandwidth are available in rented VPSes. I've actually played around with what is hosted where, depending on what I need: for example, uptime monitoring currently runs locally, checking whether I can reach the remote sites from my residential connection.

My homepage and some other projects as well. I manage most of these as Docker containers (with Swarm, though K3s is great too), so thankfully handling data backups and resource limits is pretty easy. Currently, I use Apache as the reverse proxy in front of all of these (lots of modules for a variety of features, as well as Let's Encrypt integration with mod_md). So far it seems to work decently, isn't too expensive, helps me avoid e-waste (homelab nodes run 200 GE CPUs with 35 W TDP), although updates are always a pain.

For example, previously I ran GitLab, but Gitea + Drone + Nexus proved to be a better solution for my needs and workloads.
Depends on where they live. Where I live most poor people don't have a car.
And quite the reason why I think this was a poor choice of rust design because not being able to opt-out from static analysis, e.g. borrow checker, makes me having to pay the price for it every time even when I don't want to. This as a result has unfortunate consequences on iteration times, which C++ has been infamously known of but in this respect it plays better imo then rust.

offtopic question: Is there any arbiter-payment function exists in Stripe/Paypal?

It's the secret source of success of Alibaba's Alipay. Internet was full of scams in China, so the consumers aren't willing to pay to sellers directly, Alipay introduced this extra step, after payment, the fee is onhold, then the consumer receives the goods/services and checking with Alipay, the payment finally goes through. This allows the eCom owner and consumers to negotiate problems case-by-case and shop owners to gain credit over the time.

This arbiter-payment feature of Alipay is groundbreaking in the 00s.
Why would you need 6 angel investments, if you're offering angel investing to others? If you get 6 angels and give out 6 angels, you're just diluting your own stake to diversify into others' extremely illiquid companies that you have no control of.

You say you have $2m and $50k expenses. You can self-fund a 4-person team to get to PMF if you want to, without YC's $500k. But based on these 2 signals, you seem risk-averse and not actually willing to go all-in to your company. Personally, I'm a male and didn't get a YC interview for any of my YC applications, but I can't feign sexism over that.
TBH, I think there are multiple RISC-V emulators that support musl.
>However it's still interesting because a lot of refrigeration uses a compressor which requires a lot of voltage (and current) to start up. It might be like peltier coolers which are solid state, but unfortunately not very efficient and don't cool much in practical terms. (search thermoelectric coolers or peltier)

This is exactly why it's BS: a compressor requires high(er) voltage to start and run, and Peltier coolers can run on 5V USB outlets. However, compressor-based cooling is FAR more efficient than Peltiers, which are infamously inefficient. Voltage really doesn't tell you anything. The problem is that journalists have no idea what a Volt is.

That's not how you count a loss. Your loss is the product you bought (not sold) and the time and effort spent on sending it, as well as possible marketing expense to get it sold. You don't recognize the revenue until the money is in the bank, especially not if you have a dispute with your payment service provider otherwise you are creating yet another problem for yourself, the taxman will want his due even though you did not receive the money. So stop recognizing this as revenue until you have been paid.

Yeah, it would be the hardware's fault if it delivered 1000 volts. Delivering any sequence of 1s and 0s should maybe cause the driver to give up, but not to panic the kernel.

It hasn't been long since the last "help needed" ticket here.
In my experience most (embedded) code is usually not possible to grep for such specific numbers anyway, because the assignments use bit-shift operators, set-macros, bitfields, binary literals, hex-literals non-hex-numbers, splitting a 16 bit number into a 2-element 8 bit array, mixing up the endianess, etc. An IDE that can find all assignments where right side has a numeric value of choice would cover more of such variants.
Not OP, but prolonged fasting is well understood to significantly affect the immune system.

I doubt not eating for a single day while fighting a cold is going to matter though, especially if sedentary/sick in bed.

During a prolonged fast you'll be decreasing white blood cells, which doesn't seem ideal if you're already sick. But AIUI it's mainly this aspect that "reboots the immune system", and can prevent illness once feeding has resumed and the catabolism undone. Basically you get a refreshed immune system, afterwards:

“When you starve, the system tries to save energy, and one of the things it can do to save energy is to recycle a lot of the immune cells that are not needed, especially those that may be damaged,” Longo said. “What we started noticing in both our human work and animal work is that the white blood cell count goes down with prolonged fasting. Then when you re-feed, the blood cells come back. So we started thinking, well, where does it come from?” [0]

For people that aren't getting free boxes from work, you can usually find used micro/tiny form factor Intel machines for around $120. That's more than a Raspberry Pi, but you can get a Core i5-6500T with 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and it'll use around 10 watts at idle (and top out around 50 watts). You'll get an M.2 PCIe 3.0 4x slot and a bay for a 2.5" SATA drive and support for up to 32GB of memory.

You can put Proxmox on them if you want to run a bunch of VMs or use Windows or any of the many Linux distros that support x64 rather than dealing with less known hardware.

While 10 watts is more than the 1-2 watts of a Raspberry Pi, it comes out to around $13/year for me leaving it on 24/7. A normal desktop idling at 50-100 watts would cost me $65-130/year so it is a big difference. In fact, if you're leaving a normal desktop on 24/7 as a home server, it might make financial sense to grab a micro/tiny machine. If it costs you $120 and saves you $50-120/year in electricity, that seems like it would be worthwhile.

They're not fanless, but they are very quiet compared to most desktops.

I ended up going this route because Raspberry Pis are so hard to come by these days. A Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB of RAM will cost $75 and then you'll need to supply your own storage (MicroSD), buy a case if you want to protect it, and a USB cable and power adapter (though you probably have that sitting around). Between the Raspberry Pi and MicroSD card, it's basically $100 and way less powerful than a Core i5-6500T (which should be 3x faster) and you're using a MicroSD card rather than a nice PCIe flash drive. Plus, if you want, you can load the micro/tiny machine up with 32GB of RAM for not that much ($40 to get it to 24GB, $70 to get it to 32GB) and you can make that decision in the future. Plus, for a lot of purposes, standard x64 hardware can be nice. Plus, you can actually get your hands on a micro/tiny form factor PC while I haven't seen Raspberry Pis in stock in a long time.

One could easily disagree, though. The operating costs are likely to be an additional $10-11/year and one could get a 1GB RAM Raspberry Pi for $35 (if they had them in stock) and get a small MicroSD and maybe only spend $40-45 instead of $120, but it feels like the utility of a $45 machine with 1GB RAM is a lot more limited and I'd (personally) rather spend the money on something I know I can use.

> not everything we code must be cross-platform from the get go.

No, but the code I write for my job does have to be cross-platform from day 0. And that's the code base that is large enough where module improvements to compile time would be most useful! Hobby projects are small enough it's not super important.

So C++20 modules don't help me and probably won't until 2029! To my great dismay.
Software development has huge levels of team work and social interaction baked in. And the positions where you don't have that happen to be the ones where no one knows how fast you actually work.

Edit: I just saw this SO comment [0]:

> The standard calls argv consistently an array. Modifying an array refers to modifying its members. Thus, it seems obvious that the wording in the standard refers to modifying the members in the argv array, when it states that argv is modifiable.

It is still a mater of interpretation so you shouldn't depend on it.

No, that is not the case. RISC-V was designed to work both in embedded systems, workstations, supercomputers and specialized hardware. That is why the instruction-set is made modular. It is allow you to tailor the chip to very different types of hardware.

The extension system is exactly why I would call RISC-V the return of RISC. It is what allows you to keep the CPU significantly simpler because you only add what you need for the system you are designing.

For instance if you want really strong vector processing capability you can design very small cores with only vector processing instructions and the most necessary scalar operations. All the stuff you need typically to run a multi-user OS (handle privilege levels) can be thrown out.

That is exactly what Esperanto Technologies doing. They got got four fat Out-of-Order cores with all the instructions you typically would want in a modern CPU running Linux, while there are 1088 small in-order cores with support for RISC-V vector extension. Vector processing actually adds very few transistors if the core is in-order rather than out-of-order.

I would say this is all quite RISCy in that you are making simple tailor made chips rather than making huge complex monoliths to do everything, which is the CISC way IMHO.

Intel btw is realizing their approach was kind of dumb when then tried making their big-little core design. To keep the small cores small they had to throw out the complex AVX-2 instructions.
Can you elaborate on his credentials? Is he licensed? The apprenticeship path for any trade can be grueling. You're doing all the grunt labor for low wages because you are getting on-the-job training. You are also YOUNG and able-bodied, typically 18 right out of high school if not younger through a vo-tech. But once you reach to that journeyman level at 3-4 years and get your State License that's when your pay really increases, especially if you start your own company.
I've never used Stripe before so wanted to ask a clarification question.

Their docs [1] say that the payout schedule is 7-14 days after the payment. What prevents companies from taking out their money every week (or 2 weeks)?

For OP, is 250k euros weekly income? If so, it shouldn't bother them?

If not, then why didn't they take out their money before this happened?

Having read the Gizmodo article[1] before this, I’m coming away confused about how licensing language works. In addition to revoking a “perpetual” license, there are hints that WotC plans to force any entity that is commercially selling products now to agree to the new license or cease sales. This sounds like they are planning to take a cut of all products by retroactively cancelling the 1.0a license. This is counter to what is explained in OP’s link about being able to continue selling existing products.

Aside from the confusing “perpetual” !== “irrevocable” language, how would it be legal to suddenly start taking cuts of existing businesses? If WotC were to attempt this, would it be legal? It sounds like it would be based on the explanation of being able to revoke an existing license. But that sounds like a giant legal loophole to me.
