It's partly that, but in medicine (dentistry, fertility, etc) a lot of clinics are being rolled into PE conglomerates because the bureaucratic overhead in medicine has skyrocketed in the past 20 years, and clinic chains have better support for doing all the paperwork and legal side of things.

I listen to both. It's just that Israel at least say some truth (that can be independently verified) while Hamas only lies and play victim.

At least in US society, the general idea is that there should be a reason to require a business to do something. Not that there needs to be a reason to not require a business to do something.

Public companies are subject to some requirements for good reason. Those reasons may not apply to private companies.

Companies pay employees because if they don’t, they won’t have employees and therefore will lack labor, a critical input.

You joke but it's not benign. The reason economic regulations exist is to ensure we maintain the economy as a crucible for rewarding the smartest and hardest workers in society.

When private money can grow cancerously via pump and dump crypto schemes, overhyping IPO's that peaked during the series A round, and strong arming small branches of independently owned practices (all to later enable milk mode and reap monopolistic profits), the general public and society is left with overlords who do not build, they eat.

I think all of physics would disagree with you there, what with it being built up from functions where each input has a single output. Even Heisenberg uncertainty and quantised results from the Stern-Gerlach setup can be modelled that way in silico to high correspondence with reality, despite the result of testing the Bell inequality meaning there can't be a hidden variable.

It's worse than that. The 401k generation will begin think about retiring in the next few years. Most will discover that their 401K, despite maximum contributions, will be insufficient to retire on.

This will either keep older workers in the workforce longer, preventing younger workers for getting into positions, or it will result in discrimination against older workers who will find themselves unable to get jobs, let go, or laid off to make room for younger, cheaper workers.

The expectation for your 401k is that it's going to grow by 6-8% each year. If there isn't any room for growth in the market then it's going to be hard to deliver that going forward, compounding the problem for later generations who probably won't be inheriting anything from their parents.
Ha! I’m curious, why is that?

I’m curious because in the mid 90s, I burned all my black-and-white film negatives in a rage of creativity.

I look back at that moment with both her and liberation so it’s hard to say whether it was good or bad.
Less diff noise when adding/removing lines in a commit.

If you put the comma at the end, and then you need to add a line, you either:

* Insert the new item "in the middle" of the list. This is often possible, but not always.

* Add the new item to the end of the list, in which case the the line that was at the end before will now need to be modified to add a line.

Lines that begin with the coma can be more easily moved around/resorted. With the comma at the end, if you put the "last" item in the middle, you also need to add a comma at its end (and remove the comma from the new item that is now the final one).

Personally, I like languages where you can simply leave a comma at the end of a list or enumeration without this being deemed a syntax error (for example, in Lua the table {1,2,3,} is equivalent to {1,2,3} )
They could, but my opinion is that this is putting personal responsibility front and center on what is a systemic problem. If our economic systems encourage the consolidation of wealth, we should change the systems, rather than blaming individuals.
Well think this through.

There are 10 vet practices in your city. 7-8 get rolled up into one uber practice by a PE firm.

They now have far less overhead per patient. Billing, equipment and even vets can be amortized over far more patients.

You, the hold out clinic, are now more expensive, or have a far smaller profit ratio, thus you are operating at a big disadvantage to the other clinics in your city.

You can hold out but what is your edge in this case where your competitor is now bigger and can handle things like a vet quitting as they have a bunch that roam from practice to practice. Or they can handle buying a new machine for millions while the bank won't lend to you due to your shrinking margins.

Economies of scale are a thing and can be a very real competitive differentiator.

You the hold out are now getting crushed by your competitors while you look around and see your fellow vets taking weekends off to take their new boat to the lake because they sold their practice and you're working your 11th weekend in a row because your other vet quit to work for your competitor that can now pay more than you.

I am not a big fan of Linux and it has its share of problems, but your comment just shows severly misunderstandings.

1.) Linux is rock stable as a server/embedded os, given the right distribution (Debian, RHEL)
2.) On the desktop Linux sucks (but sucks IMHO much less than the commercial competition), still, it is common knowledge that KDE and its applicacations have lots of problems with stability. KDE is not Linux, it is just a community desktop environment.
3.) Debian is not a good desktop operating system, unless you know what you are doing, which is also widely known within the community.

If you want to use a Linux on the desktop, use Ubuntu with Gnome or Fedora with Gnome and see if your experience is better. Xfce is another solid choice with high stability, especially compared to KDE, but that Gnome has payed developers and Xfce has not, is quite obvious.

> This article is...not good.

I agree. The opening paragraph reeks of picking numbers to fit a narrative. It states that the number of US listed public firms declined from 8000 in 1996 to 4000 today (suggesting but not explicitly claiming that a significant part has been devoured by PE), but leaves out that the valuation of the public companies in that period increased from 5T to 40T.
"Rich versus King": The Core Concept (2020)
You could also say “all private equity is not created equal.”

I think that the common belief that private equity swoops in and sucks the company dry like a vampire is only a half-truth. The “company flipper” style private equity companies are usually buying companies that are not doing all that well in the first place.

Not unlike a venture capital firm investment in a startup, private equity firms probably don’t expect 100% of their investments to pan out. The idea is to buy a struggling company for pennies on the dollar, turn it around, make a big return on that investment. However, turning around a struggling business isn’t always going to happen, and when it fails the private equity firms are perceived as vultures.

A good example of a company that has done well under private equity ownership has been Popeyes. They launched their extremely popular chicken sandwich under private equity ownership. The parent company has for the most part left the strong parts of the business alone (keeping the product up to a good enough standard) while appeasing franchises’ need for more profitable operations, leading to growth in its footprint.

I have been reading a lot of criticism of PE here at HN, with similar arguments as TFA. In the case of small companies - vet offices, medical practices, etc - it is usually claimed that a PE acquisition enforces a bunch of changes that are ultimely detrimental to the end product, like quality of care. However, if that's the case, shouldn't we see non-PE companies flourish in competition? Or PE firms emerging that respect the end product at the expense of short term profits?

I understand why enshittification and all these others process's occur when you have a monopoly or a large market share. I fail to see why it should not be punished by the market when applied to easily disruptable sectors.

> Vet clinics, medial practices, engineering firms, etc all use to to thrive on being 20 person shops are now routinely being bought up by PE firms and rolled into larger companies which means far fewer entrepreneurs or chances for up and coming employees to buy into the firm from the founders, which helps stall careers.

In the past 2 weeks, my local small biz autobody shop and furnace/HVAC company have been bought by large regional firms. The furnace company refuses to service your boiler w/o buying from their preferred oil supplier, and the autobody shop has adjusted their rates to essentially insure they only work with insurance claims.
For a small company, a sole-prop dentist for example -- I don't. There is not enough motivation or sophistication or dollars on the table.

For PE backed conglomerates I care because they can and do hide shady things in there. There is more motivation to juke the stats; more sophistication and dollars on the table. Sadly, because these companies are not public, when their anti-consumer operations are discovered there is little news about it. That results in a situation, for example, where folk don't think there is any reason to care about the issue.

I don't know where you're getting this from. The reason to not require it is that the regulations don't apply.

However, it's also true that making it cumbersome to do business, while making the big four consulting firms endless amounts of cash, is a real problem for all other public companies.

Frequency hopping can only help if there's frequency to hop to, and I'd imagine a military jammer would angrily spew as wide a band of noise it can to ensure everything is jammed. A tank with an omnidirectional antenna jamming -30dB (or more because it's not like FCC/similar regulations apply to the military in a war zone) would have a pretty decent RF bubble around it.
International law is complicated. It allows comingling of combatants and health care workers if the combatants are not engaging in hostilities, but are just assisting the workers. There's also issue of proportionality. You can't bomb hospital with 10000 people if you see 10 people with guns there. You'd still be required to attempt to target combatants and avoid civilian harm. I'd leave it to the lawyers.

I'm in Czechia, a country that supports Israel unconditionally, without an ounce of sympathy for Palestinians. Vast majority of comments on news articles that allow commenting just call for genocide, for leveling the place, justify killing children, call Gazan's not human, express excitement when they are being killed, etc. (yes we have laws against genocide and incitement to genocide) Politicians are not much better, except they're just acting out callous disregard for human beings on the "other side". Media is not showing or describing the human toll in Gaza pretty much at all. A country that sold a lot of planes and weapons to Israel in 47/48 during the arms embargo.

You can show people videos like these, and they'd still tell you it's Palestinian's own fault, and they'd still vote even against an unenforcible, largely symbolic resolution calling for a meaningful ceasefire and distribution of aid, so that there's at least an anesthetic, and safe route to get these patients transfered outside of Gaza.

Really high level (as in visual programming) is actually the most optimal way to do some of the embedded programming - in particular when it comes to the setup/configuring part.

Setting up the clock tree, configuring pins/port functions, enabling peripheral clocks, interrupts (which ones and their priority levels), fixing erratas, etc.
All of that should at the end of the day come down to a couple loads/stores to some memory mapped registers, and these registers are usually "wide" where they contain N bits to set N things - so if you design a C (or rust) api something like this:

enable_clock(int clock_id);

You wont get optimal code for:

enable_clock(FOO);
enable_clock(BAR);

Because if FOO and BAR are both enabled by setting bit 3 and 7 in register X you get two loads, two bitwise or's and two stores when a single store with a single constant would have sufficed.

So fire up a GUI program that lets you click on "enable FOO, enable BAR", "set main clock to crystal oscillator at N MHz, enable PLL x4, etc", have that generate optimal code and go from there.
