>Restricting your employment options to a small, say cyclable area around where you live can be extremely limiting for your employment opportunities

You're missing the forest for the trees. If you live in a mid-sized city in the Netherlands and want to limit yourself to a 1 hour commute by public transit, there are just as many, if not more opportunities than if you live in a mid sized city in the US like Richmond because the Netherlands is that much denser, and transit optimizes for commercial centers. The difference that in the Netherlands, you still have the option of commuting by car, whereas, in the US you'd have to move.
Is your current level of isolation something that your doctor has recommended?
A point as banal as it is unhelpful. Perhaps if companies didn’t act like charities during good times by promising workers lavish compensation and security, entangling in more workers than necessary, and then pulling the rug from under them during bad times, then this false expectation would have never arisen.
It’s rarely that easy or financially viable. Major changes to the building’s core systems are required.
The Delaware courts interpret the Business Judgment Rule[1] very liberally. That's because there is risk in business, and corporations take risks and lose all the time, and that's just capitalism. The court is not there to determine what risks are good business and which are bad business.

The big thing you aren't allowed to do that happens with some regularity is breach the duty of loyalty by engaging in self-dealing transactions, trade using inside information, or taking opportunities that are presented to the corporation for your other businesses.

Your quote precisely claims that it is not "a deficit," which directly denies the reality of people on the lower end of functionality on the spectrum. Period.

There is a vocal minority, of which your source is a part of, who are trying to "normalize" Autism. In order for it to be "natural neuro-divergence" or "a super power" you have to intentionally omit the negative aspects of the medium-functioning, and completely deny the existence of the low-functioning.

Using woke language to try and assuage the insecurities of high functioning autistic people might make people feel like big strong social justice warriors, but I will die on the hill that they are actually doing grave harm to many disabled people. To use the parlance, they are being problematic. And they should be ashamed of themselves for it.

I’m in the exact same spot. I’ve been trying to get back on medication for ADHD for the first time since childhood solely because I’m scared I’m not going to be able to experience mental clarity ever again if I get COVID. It’s impossible to talk to anyone about anxieties like that now because everyone has already determined that they got COVID and everything was fine, so therefore, I should stop trying.

Some part of me would love that, but like you said, I just can’t let go. Impulsivity be damned.

It is of course ironic you take a condescending tone while trying to convince me I am judgmental and condescending.

I don't engage with any social media, and I'm out there in the world plenty. I read the news, I've spoken with people. We can all hear what Trump says, we know his policies.

I have had Trump supporters say to my face that asylum seeking children getting separated from their parents and never seeing them again is A-ok and deserved because it was the parents fault for trying to escape their country and come here. Those are the people you're defending. You think speaking further with them would make me despise them less?

> You really think 42% of the US are bigots who will lynch blacks and firebomb lawyers?

Why do you think my hypothetical is about literally every single one of them engaging in those things? If the Proud Boys and such groups started getting more active and doing such things, do you think most Trump supporters would care? Or would they keep at it with their far-right politics and support for him?
> You are granted rights to board votes and cash flows in the form of dividends

Yes, exactly: Shareholders elect the board. Here's a question for you: What are the legal obligations to shareholders of those board members elected by the shareholders?

(Hint: board members have a fiduciary obligation to act in the best interest of shareholders.)
What's the point of stricter gun control laws, if those laws aren't applied by prosecutors? I suspect those three kids would still be alive if the prosecutor had applied them in this case.

But lets pretend the prosecutor wants to offer leniency to the offender in this case: They could still have prosecuted it. And then accepted deferred prosecution in exchange for treatment, a restriction on owning firearms, etc.
Python or Go or a mix of both. I have seen new devs with no experience in either get get up to speed quickly in both. For a startup, velocity is critical.
I'm not sure I follow. CRTs draw the image to the screen in a fundamentally different way than modern displays due to how the electron beam moves sequentially left to right/top to bottom. This analog process, happening at 15 or 25hz, is what gives authentic arcade machines their look and feel. Same for old computer terminals. My understanding is that to reproduce this effect on a modern display, you'd need an extremely high refresh rate. To properly replicate this requires some pretty low level aspects of the system to be addressed. Hardware limitations are bound by the laws of physics after all.

Beyond just the aesthetics, there are practical reasons why this is important, whether it be lighgun idiosyncrasies or how the game "feels," which can affect timing and such for competitive players. There's a lot more to preserving the look, feel, and compatibility of displays for old computer systems than most realize and the rabbit hole can go quite deep on this one.

The problem with exceptions isn't the syntax, but the hidden control flow (they are essentially a goto in disguise).

Error union return values make a lot more sense, the rest is just syntax sugar details (and that's where opinions differ I guess).

The profit motive is about wanting to make money from a project, not about how it's actually achieved.

If delivering value must be done slowly to make a profit, so be it. Notice how alcohol is generally more expensive with age (vintage).
> ...for stock value?" 1000% they are accountable...

No, more like 40%. Look at (say) the huge swings in P/E ratios for the US stock market over the past ~century. Even Tim Cook at Apple has no control over whether large-cap tech stocks are being valued at 6X vs. 100X.

If you are writing high performance code use Rust. (Slow development times, high performance)

If you are writing a typical business application use Python.

Or if you want to be clever do a hybrid of both. Create Rust modules for your Python code.

This is just about selecting the right tool for the right job.
> As a public transport person I feel weirdly constrained by the idea that a day's itinerary will inevitably have to see me return to wherever the car is parked...

Do you feel the same way about your home? Your day's itinerary will inevitably have to see you return there, too.

Too see the other side, it may be useful to think of a personal car as home-like transportation infrastructure and always using public transit like living full-time in hostels.

Maybe nowadays we should all use glue-script + compiled-ffi to iterate fast while keep performance under control?

e.g python+cffi, or python+pyo3(for rust), or even lua+capi?

US companies aren't legally obligated to maximize profits.

Managers are at risk of losing their jobs if shareholders decide to vote them out via a proxy battle due to poor profitability, so there are incentives to max profits, but there's no legal statutes that demand profit maximization. If there was, it'd be impossible to prove since all activity is subject to risk.
> a well off person in a well functioning city has little if any reason to own a car

Even in this small town (~2,000 people) in which I live I have almost no reason for a car. Everything I need is in comfortable walking distance... Other than family and friends who live in other places that I like to visit from time to time.

When I was young there was enough economic hardship around that people had to disperse to make a living, leaving those social ties I established all over the place. With the strong economy we've been living for a number of years one has been comfortably able to stay put; living a great life anywhere they want. Now everyone in your life is able to remain close. If I could walk to their homes, that would certainly remove the last reason I keep a car. The younger people have that option.

I wonder if that's what has changed?
Erlang uses a preemptive scheduler for process scheduling, allowing for parallelization on multiple CPUs, while Scala distinguishes between thread-based and event-based actors. Thread-based actors can perform long-running computations without hindering other actors, but use more memory and scheduling overhead. Event-based actors are more lightweight but not suitable for parallelism as they execute on the same thread.
So, what is the right answer? Even if it's not illegal, if investors are short term profit driven and can pop in and out of investments at will, does that really matter?

The agents are put in place by the owners/board. As long as there's no reason to prioritize long term stability and growth duty over short term profits, what will change?

And the opposite -- owners NOT being in charge of agents -- sounds even scarier.

Do any markets lock-in investors for a period of time, with benefits to encourage that? Isn't this how 401ks and IRAs work, even if that's not their intent (maybe it is I don't know)

It seems like if you could create a % of owners that had longer investment horizons, there would be a faction that would push agents to care more about long term stability and growth of a company than wringing as much money out of it in the next 3-6 months as we can.

I think you can see this trend outside of markets as well -- You take a trusted, established thing, and gut it for short term profit while eroding the trust. PVH has been doing this for a long time with brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, etc, where they have 'discount stores' that actually sell completely different product lines than the flagship stores and what their 'influencers' wear. The 'discount' line is of the lowest quality possible.[1]

I suspect LVMH will end up doing the same thing with the real luxe brands soon -- Look out for those $90 LV handbags...[2]

Sure, but basically all desirable places to live now are expensive, which wasn't the case before.

I'm not sure about the exact causes, but at some level it has to be supply and demand, I agree. Maybe just growing population. Certainly the bay area is, in my opinion, very over-populated.

It's a magical physical location, and there's too many people that want to live in it, for it to be pleasant.

(Though the horrible government also isn't helping.)

Hello all,

Very excited to share my first literature review! Looking forward to your thoughts, suggestions and discussions!
Why impose the "embedded systems" space requirement on the OP? The OP does not work in embedded systems space. So it is not relevant to this article. The OP is telling us what they would do, not what you should do and definitely not what embedded systems startups should do.
My biggest issue with this mentality is when a company makes obscene money, but the stock drops because it was slightly less obscene than expected. It’s just unrealistic and makes me feel like the entire stock market is a casino more than an actual investment opportunity.
Are you claiming that a few thousand of these visas a year overwhelm the system? Then the investment visas are not the problem. The problem is the agency responsible for processing these and the attorneys knowing of the service shortage take advantage of people. Supply/demand. It’s not meant to be affordable for people, it’s meant to be expensive because if you’re reaching out to them to renew, you’re probably desperate.

What makes you think that?
One doubts anyone can muster the energy even to pretend to surprise in this case. It's worth keeping details like this in mind, however, when discussing society-destroying disasters like stupid wars in other hemispheres or insurance-firm-directed health care. We hear lots of arguments that boil down to: "don't criticize democracy; if the'merican people wanted something else they would vote differently!" As we see more clearly in simpler cases like this, in USA we don't have representative government; rather we have an increasingly less convincing simulation of representative government.

Right. I take it as meaning, "don't abuse your position as CEO to enrich yourself to the detriment of the company."

> It is highly unlikely that the extra allocation is ever going to be noticed in the performance.

I had almost this exact scenario, and yes there is pain in writing it with explicit lifetimes. But I can't agree the performance improvement is negligible; maybe in isolation, but I saw about a 100x speed increase for my application when I switched away from Strings. For me it was because I was doing many of those extra String allocations in a loop, so it killed my performance.
The one I am most familiar with.

For me as a potentially "technical founder", that happens to be Python, but obviously "I" is the important context.
My understanding is that office buildings usually don't have enough plumbing or ventilation ductwork to make this reasonable to do, let alone cheaply enough to make it viable to make it into "affordable housing".

Unless you're suggesting that the government take on a bunch of debt on everyone's behalf to do this as a public service for those who are having trouble with rent, without regard for it being a financially viable project by itself. idk how it compares to the other options for doing that.
> Also when you buy a share of Apple you are not a part owner of the company.

This is totally wrong.

> as a shareholder you're entitled to very little and do not have legal rights to demand profitability.

Only if you are an isolated minority shareholder. If shareholders group together form a quorum (+ 50% of total ownership), they can demand anything from their company - including replacing the entire board and taking operational control of the company.
Well I'll admit hadn't considered that factor, I guess I'll find out in a decade or so when my daughter reaches that age, although hopefully that mentality will have died out once that generation gets a decade of reality under their belt.

That said I kinda get the social media obsession, that was college for me and I was all in on the facebook parasocial queues (not liking someone's post that they KNOW you saw was an offense, and other crazy shit). For me it was ultimately a function of not having anything better to do. High school is supermax prison in terms of options, college is like minimum security prison, it's not really until you hit the realization that your decisions have actual weight in your life and you aren't just going to be pushed along by external forces that you start to grow out of that. High school ends and eventually becomes irrelevant, but good luck explaining that to a teenager.

I'd argue the income question is also part of the problem, the "mail room to executive" pipeline, if it ever really existed, has been completely broken. As you say, it used to be that person working the McDonalds drive through might be something big some day. Nowadays that's 100% assured to not be the case, McDonalds drive through is a dead-end job you do to stay alive until you can trade up to a different career path.
You're inventing a standard that doesn't exist, what is "actual proof"?

Starting from the beginning: Binance aren't allowed to operate in the US. So, an independent company was created, which Binance licensed their technology and brand to, and so that company now operates as Binance US. If all is above board, Binance US has autonomous leadership and CZ has zero involvement beyond collecting fees for licensing of the brand and technology.

> Binance.US's chief financial officer, Jasmine Lee, told the Wall Street Journal on Feb. 8 that "the extent of our relationship" with Binance.com is a shared name and a licensing agreement for technology. "We do not transfer our funds back and forth," Lee said.

The article we're discussing alleges that this "independent company" is not, in fact, independent, and evidences this by showing that decisions made about the operation of the company come from Binance.

The first example of this is that the CEO of Binance US is surprised to discover that a transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars is made into the platform, and so she asks for clarity from the finance team, who explain that the transfer came from a "vendor" that "facilitates trading" called "Merit Peak".

So, if all is above board: Binance US has received a transfer from a "vendor" to "facilitate trading" on the platform and the CEO wasn't aware of the specifics but that's fine because it's a vendor and they're doing market making which is a legitimate and valuable component of an exchange. Eventually, it's alleged, that an "unspecified amount" of the "vendor" transfer is sent on to "Key Vision Development".

The article then uses company records to show the following:

1. Merit Peak names CZ as a manager of the company

2. A Binance corporate filing identifies CZ as a director of Key Vision Development

3. The beneficial owner of Binance US is CZ

You're focused on the CEO querying the payment but that's not the crux of the matter. The payments that the CEO did not expect and did not have knowledge of came from... CZ.

The reason I describe it as unilateral control is because:

1. Binance US did not have access to their own banking infrastructure -- someone else controlled it

2. The CEO of Binance US did not know who was directing the financial activities of the company -- couldn't have been instructing

3. The financial activities of the company were coming from a company controlled by CZ -- controlled by Binance

If you choose to take the most charitable view possible of all of the information in the article, I guess you could argue that Binance US had no idea that Binance was using their platform... but even in that most charitable view, it's clear that Binance itself was funnelling money in and out of Binance US.
I completely agree, it's deeply concerning that a huge number of opinions on this topic in educated circles seem to think that increased difficulty in having kids and lower testosterone levels are a good thing. You can see it in the responses to this article in these comments, but also I have heard the same opinions after working with my friends in Silicon Valley for many years.

They legitimately seem to regard humans as a kind of virus (literally have had multiple people use that word exactly to me in conversation), and cheer on the reduction in the number of people. This is problematic for many reasons, but just on the surface, cheering on the sexual dysfunction of your fellow man, this is just immoral and unethical on so many levels to me.
Where did they demand empathy?
When you buy a stock on the open market, the company doesn't get any of the money, it goes to whoever was the last person to own that stock. There is no built-in incentive for a company to seek to increase it's stock price except that current owners want to be able to sell higher than they bought.

Once a company has gone public for the first time, it can't get any more fundraising from shareholders without issuing more fresh stock which would make existing shareholders very angry because it dilutes the value of those existing shares.

Setting corporate policy with the goal of increasing the stock price doesn't encourage new investment, and it doesn't help the company at all, it just makes existing shareholders happy. But since the governing structure of basically every company says that shareholders are the exclusive decision makers, that's what happens, regardless of whether it's good for the company, customers, employees, or the market.
(parent author) Thanks for everyone's responses. I think there are some solid examples that folks provided that definitely give me something to mull over.
Really, unless one needs deployment scenarios where any kind of automatic memory management is not an option, there are several compiled languages with Rust like type systems and much better workflows.
