One lesson YC taught founders back in 2012: innovate within your product. Don’t innovate with things like HR, legal, corporate structures, etc. Focus your innovative energy where it matters: your product.

Startups don’t fail because they chose to not innovate when setting up their corporate structure. They fail when they can’t build a product worth money to other people.

Having an innovative or non-standard corporate structure (basically anything other than Delaware c-corp) will cause headaches and even once you’re successful, will make a lot of things more difficult. Harder (more expensive) to find lawyers, harder (more expensive) to find accountants, and it will be an issue if you are getting acquired or raising money.

I don’t disagree there might be viable alternatives. But most founders shouldn’t be trailblazing a new path with an innovative corporate set up. Just do what everyone else does and put your focus where it matters.

I’m curious why anyone wouldn’t default to Delaware c-corp for the typical startup raising capital. What’s the gain?
Implementing React from Scratch
I started this project out of interest in building a UI framework for a completely different language/platform inspired by React. Quickly realized I didn’t understand everything React was doing to allow their API. Rebuilding React was extremely useful for learning more about the framework. Hopefully, this article is useful to other people in the same way.
Canon and Nikon have these already, and yet their market share is pretty small
Since you didn't get a serious answer yet... Yes, VPNs typically use their own DNS and NordVPN is no different. As far as I've seen, the copyright trolls in Europe always go for the lowest hanging fruit which are the IP addresses of residential users. I imagine IP addresses belonging to servers or VPNs are basically disregarded.
Not to mention the governance and liability implications of the plan. If a company mining something on Earth screws up really badly, they can ruin the environment for a hundred miles around. If a company mining an asteroid in LEO screws up really badly, the literal blast radius would wipe out a significant percentage of life on earth.

One night I dropped my case as I crossed the street to my building. I grabbed it off the ground without paying attention, both buds had fallen out.

In the morning, I picked up the case and noticed that it felt light. Find My reported both buds as having been seen outside on the sidewalk, one last seen four hours ago, the other six. I ran downstairs and outside to find them both smashed by car traffic.

Another time a bud popped out of the case while passing through the TSA X-rays (yes, I have lousy luck with these). I was able to pinpoint the direction with the app and make it plays sounds, but the agents were unable to dig under the rollers and get it out.

That does not follow, a robot following the rules of correct reasoning can conclude (to a reasonable probability) that a statement is false. You may have very strong requirements in your definition of "understanding", but the robot can output a number between 0 and 1, and that's good enough for a conclusion by everyday language.

Saying an airplane concludes to tell the pilot to "pull up" is correct as far as I think most people see it.

The combination of web components + a visual app builder is a really compelling space. I'm working on something myself, and I love see more approaches our there!

Your style is just obviously incredible. I hope some of that bleeds into your customers sites so there's more fun silly, but also real, things out there on the web.

One thing I'm working on in parallel to a visual builder is a web components catalog and custom elements manifest validator. I hope this will help boost the set of quality web components available to tools like this, and that the catalog will be embeddable in them.

Good luck!
Deep-sea oil rigs don't grow into towns because there is no spare land to grow on - the "land" is an insanely expensive man-made structure whose size pushes against the limits of human engineering ability. But when oil is found on dry land or even in the sea close to shore, oil industry almost always results in significant urban growth - e.g. see Baku, Los Angeles, or Dubai.

In conclusion, disabling Copilot in Windows 11 can be easily done through various methods such as the Group Policy Editor, Registry Editor, or Task Scheduler. By following these steps, you can ensure that Copilot is completely disabled, giving you more control over your Windows 11 experience. Each method provides a straightforward approach, allowing users to choose the one that best suits their needs.
But once you have that infrastructure in space that can mine and construct in space won't that greatly shorten the supply chain for asteroid mining and bring the cost down?

It seems to me that when people make the kind of argument that you're making they're forgetting to price the negative externalities that Earth based mining cost our society via environmental damage.

If the environmental damage and species decline that we're experiencing from our planet-side economic endeavours were properly priced in space based manufacturing and asteroid mining would look a lot more attractive.

There was a huge delta between what these systems could do.

e.g. the Commodore 64 was an 8-bit 1 MHz processor vs. the 386's 32-bit 12-40MHz, could not run a full operating system, had 64 KB RAM vs. 1MB or more on the 386, etc.

In terms of raw computing capability, the 386 was a significant advance over those cheaper systems and represented capabilities that just weren't yet on the market, and those capabilities unlocked entire worlds of possible use cases and unlocked general purpose computing.

The Amiga 1000 is closer to the 386 in terms of capability, but was ~$1,600 (with a monitor) and was still significantly slower, i.e. if your use case benefited from raw processing power, there was a clear value proposition for the 386.

I'd still put this in a very different category than what is effectively an iPad with + VR/AR interface.

(1) The Ukrainian leadership is so intent on winning at all costs (understandably) that they'd probably knowingly start WW III if they thought doing so would help them win. A few months ago they attacked a target in Russia (a radar installation or such) whose only purpose was to warn Moscow of an attack on Russia by ICBMs and long-range Western bombers that Ukraine does not have. Similarly, invading Russian territory also has a little of this quality of tempting Moscow into attacking the West more directly than it has been.

(2) Kiev hopes that by reaching out and touching the lives of many ordinary Russians (i.e., Russians living in Kursk oblast and their relatives, many of whom now have to host their relatives as refugees) they can turn Russian public opinion against continuing the war by making the ordinary Russian believe that the costs of the war on people like him is too high. Analogously, the North Vietnamese leadership watched American public opinion very carefully during its war.

Quite disagree. Early mistakes cost me a lot of heartache later on. But you don't have to figure anything out by yourself. People like us get hired because we're experts in software development; we can absorb requirements, understand the business, and apply technology to get an optimal outcome. There are professionals in the accounting and legal fields who specialize in things we don't have experience in and they are worth it.
C has no dependency management. There are various other package management you can use with C though. I am quite happy with my Linux distribution package manager.

But I have to say it clearly: cargo is a supply chain disaster and ever changing dependencies are major problem for Rust. Rust programs having many dependencies if not a good thing.
Not all the landline numbers start with 01, all the big cities and urban areas got moved into 02 to make space decades ago when there was concern we might run out of space.

Also, 03 is guaranteed to cost the same as 02 but has no specific geographic link, so it's often used for helplines, customer service, that sort of thing, and for people who want to have a landline (or multiple landlines) but do not want to reveal their location.

04, 05 and 06 are part of that roped off space we reserved in expectation of a need that's now unlikely to ever materialise, oh well. In the era when it was conceived people thought "Internet shopping" was a ludicrous idea and still imagined "Video calls" would be a thing you'd do as a telephone call somewhow - so what did they know.

07 as you said is where non-geographic mobiles live, as well as some other services at similar price points

08 is "free" or sometimes revenue sharing prefixes and the 09 prefix is where "premium" services live, you know "Chat live now to singles in your area".
Let me sum up the discussion for you. I am arguing that scientists should not be held liable for the consequences of published research that turns out to be wrong (for whatever reasons). That is the status quo.

Now you are saying, introducing liability is fine, as we can deal with that in this or that way. I am pointing out that all of these ways are inherently flawed, to which you respond that yes, this is true, but in other walks of life we are dealing with these things too. To which I am replying, that's fine, but if we don't introduce liability, we will have none of these problems in the first place.

So you see, it is not me who is not engaging properly with the other's argument. So I am happy to finish this discussion as well.
I am also wondering how resilient these organisms are in the food matter we are heating up once it is heated up to certain temperatures. I guess that also means I am wondering how much of these organisms are airborne or are just living on the surfaces of the microwave without ever coming into contact with my food.

Having said that, one thing I regularly do is just place a bowl of water in the microwave with a bit of lemon juice (optional). Put it on for a very long time, so that is boiling for several minutes. Then wipe off the surfaces.
The cost of getting the asteroid to orbit, transportation (back and forth), and mining it would be too much. Even if we do this, keeping in mind that we can find some elements that we are aware of, I think it is way more important for humanity overall to execute this mission because there is always an upside that we can discover something that is much more valuable just like the company can sell the piece of just an asteroid as a souvenir.

You are both slightly wrong, and slightly misunderstanding what I'm saying.

> TLS is not mandatory in all cases, but if you want to use it, it is not an issue having a certificate.

TLS is mandatory if you want to ensure your connection isn't being eavesdropped on or tampered with.

> And even then you do not have to open any ports, even to letsencrypt verification, since you can use DNS verification method instead (for example using Cloudflare API).

Yes this is called the ACME DNS challenge. I've used it many times, but if you want to be able to type in your server's domain name on a friend's TV and have it resolve to your server's IP address, then you'll need a public DNS record.

> Certificate itself has nothing to do with DNS beyond the verification step.

Yes it does, because most certificate authorities only sign certificates for fully qualified domain names, not IP addresses [1], so it obviously does involve the domain name system (you can view the domain name associated with a certificate in your browser, it'll be listed under the field "common name"). On a desktop computer you could get around this by editing the hosts file to map any domain name to any arbitrary IP address, but you can't do that on a TV.

> And there can be a public DNS record but it doesn't say anything about ports. And the CT transparency log doesn't say anything about ports or IP addresses.

I never said anything about ports, I said a public DNS record exposes the server's IP address. The whole point of the domain name system is to convert domain names into IP addresses, so that you can actually use the internet protocol to connect to a server's IP (internet protocol) address. Try running dig from the command line on literally any domain name and watch it expose the server's IP. Malicious bots can watch the transparency log to find out about new certificates [2], then run dig or some other tool to issue a DNS request (to determine the IP address of the server), and then start hammering the server to search for vulnerabilities or even potentially to just DDOS it. If you use a wildcard certificate it's harder for attackers to figure out which subdomain to query to find your server's IP, but with WireGuard I don't need a domain name at all.

What about using the asteroid itself as fuel? Even if the asteroid is devoid of hydrocarbons that could be turned into fuel for conventional engines iron make a suitable (albeit inefficient) fuel for ion thrusters powered by solar panels.

Mass drivers and linear rails are also viable ways of bringing raw material into Earth's orbit from asteroids of a certain size.
I don't see what one has to do with the other.

There are neutron stars that create chunks of gold and platinum larger than the size of earth itself.

Highly doubt such chunks are floating around our solar system but it's an amusing thought that one day hundreds of years from now we could nudge a (much) smaller chunk into orbit or park it in a Lagrange point and shave off pieces to return to earth.

I think the mistake often made is people think that "filling in the gaps" isn't a core competency in which one can dive deep. I once had the pleasure of working at a position with a "SME" type person who was the sort of person that loved writing and collating documentation about things. If you ever had a question about what led to a decision 5 years ago, or how two parts of the system interacted with each other, or where the original specification for the obscure data format we were parsing cam from, they were the person to go to. They somehow managed to accumulate the sort of internal knowledge base that most companies only ever dream of, and very few ever get close to no matter how many Confluence seats they buy or wiki servers they stand up. They knew exactly who to talk to about any given part of the system if they didn't have the answers themselves. They were not a technical person, they couldn't write a line of code, they weren't a customer facing role, they weren't a manager. But filling in all of the gaps between all of those things was something they did extremely well, and there was more than enough depth there to make a career out of. I've never had such a person on my teams before or since, though I often strive to be at least 10% of the person they were for my teams because what they provided was invaluable to anyone with eyes to see it for what it was.
I’m actually excited to see these projects come into fruition. If USA can pull it off, and become competitive in global markets, it’ll a proof that we can still build big projects when we want to. If things go sideways with nothing coming online by the end of 2020s, it won’t look good especially knowing how China just keeps outbuilding us.
The key to manufacturing is humans. Robots help yet need a lot of human maintenance. Human-free spacecraft require a lot of lead time and still begin from a human touch on earth.

NEO is too resource starved for it to ever be independent enough to be cheaper than just managing resources better on the surface of Earth.

Small Strings in Rust: smolstr vs. smartstring (2020)
In social network theory it's commonly noted the disproportionate power wielded by 'bridge' nodes which link different clusters (in this case teams). So it's not just that people who can't do technical work become glue people, it's often a savvy move in a bureaucracy. Indeed a standard move to increase your power in an organisation is to increase your betweenness-centrality, e.g. managers will actively foster silos because being at the head of a silo means you're a powerful conduit between that silo and everywhere else.

On another note, I've seen in government that there is an exponential growth in not just glue people but glue teams. Here the problem is obvious, the bigger an organisation is, the harder it is to ensure adequate communication between teams working in similar areas because there's so many teams to keep track of. Whenever a communication failure occurs, someone puts their hand-up to make a glue-team, a manager thinks 'this will fix this problem', and thus a new team is born.

Of course, the issue is that the glue-team that might now have resolved the miscommunication problem between teams a and b has now added yet another team to the org chart. The consequent increase in organisational complexity begets more glue-teams elsewhere, you have glue-teams to link to other glue-teams, the solution makes the problem worse, which leads to even more of the solution.

To avoid this run-away explosion in glue-teams I'd suggest two things. Firstly, the fact that cross-team communication is hard means it should be minimised, organisations should be as modular as possible. This is what bureaucracy originally meant, e.g. the delegation of power to Persian satrapies which meant they could act autonomously. Management schools often teach the reverse, thinking that the way to solve communication failure is to make it a strength by maximising the amount of cross-team communication resulting in endless proliferation of glue people and teams. If your organisation requires good information flow from everywhere to everywhere, it's built to fail.

Secondly, glue should be the last resort. How many communication failures are actually because teams don't have well-defined roles and so things slip through the cracks etc.? How many could be fixed by simple process changes (e.g. monthly catch-ups between related teams)? I'm with Schmidt, the less glue the better.
You’ve got to wonder though: why in the world do we need that much memory?
You could take a page out of quadratic voting and scale costs nonlinearly. Then spamming would be disproportionately costly. This raises some interesting problems like, why not simply create multiple accounts, which have a different tradeoff calculus.
Best for who?

There are at least 54 other jurisdictions within the US alone that have incorporation statutes. Those legislatures and courts haven’t all sat still for the last 30 years, they compete directly with Delaware, other countries and each other.

Delaware’s Court of Chancery, a business court, is replicated is some other states, Wyoming has one. Whether a jurisdiction has that or not, a huuuge benefit is that outside of Delaware you can relitigate cases and argue for the exact opposite outcome as to whatever case law Delaware judges are bound by.

Back to the “for who” question, some things benefit your investors more than you.

Its all a reading comprehension problem.

Currently I like South Dakota for Trusts, Wyoming for LLCs, I still like Delaware for C-Corps, and Delaware for non-profit corporations

I form LLCs the most

Heh, it probably would have been more shocking a generation or two ago. My mom liked to joke that her mom would overcook pork chops so badly that they would shatter if you dropped them. She was terrified of trichinosis, probably at least partially justifiably so.

In fact, I'd never even heard of eating pork as anything other than well-done until I saw Gordon Ramsay cook a pork chop medium rare.
