Indeed, shares can have different voting weights. And that matters, if you care mostly about the corner cases.

Eh, I know someone who did that. I needed to use that software and didn't enjoy the experience. Claude reverse-engineered it between breakfast and lunch. Now I have a pleasant interface, all vibecoded.

That's a succinct and good summary by the AI.

It's one share, one vote. And you have a choice: You can ask the company to pay you (ie. apply for a job there), or you can pay for a share in the company. Either way, the decisions are made by those who pay. And that can include you —

Companies have a largely democratic component at the top, called the board. Voters (those who own the company) have representatives on the board. Some boards also have representatives from the employees, that varies.

Slowing the growth from a high level just means accelerating towards the point of no return, but moderating the acceleration. It doesn't mean stopping before the point of no return. It means continuing towards the point of no return, a

I don't know about standard behaviour, some people consider behaviour normal that I consider slimy. I heard at the time that a WP Engine employee had told someone that his/her pledged "full time assignment" had shrunk to

Would not have done so yet you mean. The other biggest emitter is still barely decreasing its emissions, far less halting. A slight decrease in the rate per year does not save us from the point of no return.

Only to the extent the company pledged to do so. It did pledge, and the follow-up on that pledge was minimal.

He read the commit logs and understood much of what he read. That's deep understanding of the product. That alone puts him in the top few percent of CEOs. IMO.

This sounds as of AI has wider appeal. Like those bland mass-market beers that nobody likes very much but nobody hates either. Restaurants have those on the menu as a second choice. While a real, published, author has taste and appeals to s

Answering users on forums looks like a very, very tiring job. Kudos to the companies that keep up the forums. And... ouch what a bug, too.

There might well be a defined test like this one, from a different jurisdiction: 179 seconds is standing, 181 is parking.

I assume they want the developers to dogfood the software they work on. Not crazy if so.

I am Norwegian and have voted by mail within the country. Or maybe I didn't vote by mail. I handed in the envelope with the vote form at the post office, if you want to be precise about it. But if you want to argue that Trump is joinin

How odd. Isn't gas typically expensive, and used only for peaks? Yet these people say they want to use it for their base load.

I come from one of the countries on that list, and from a quick glance mine is one of the more restrictive one. Yet I've voted by mail in ~10 elections and the restrictions haven't bothered me, ever, so based on a sample of one th

Finding the right people. A small subset of the general audience. Trying to get your word in front of all eyeballs in the hope of hitting the right ones at the right time is a hopeful strategy, not a well-considered one.

A sovereign nation is just that, sovereign. What it decides isn't an agreement. You may not want to obey the posted speed limits or pay something the law demands, but that's not about a contract you sign or don't, it's a

I follow the standards processes, and while I don't see a push to against self-hosting mail, I do see a push to stop storing cleartext passwords. Which is typically what your MUA uses to access those self-hosted mail servers.

Did you know that during WW1, the front lines moves from far west of Ukraine to the far east, and then back again? This war isn't like that. And it really isn't. Back then the front moved and it mattered. This isn't like that

It does much more than that. Wildberries had 45% of the logistics and large warehouses. This means that every company that produces something will have parcels coming in from Wildberries every day. The businesses that owned the ~$6B of burn

Aren't there providers who will run open models for you? If those are profitable, or haven't taken large investments, then it's reasonable to assume that the same thing is profitable for other providers.

There is such a narrative. Many people have reported that their use would be drastically more expensive with the API. None have (afaict) reported how much the average subscription is used.

Wow, $500k overtime for the first one. He will need his health insurance.

But you can give them all to me and I can train my model on them. The restriction on you is not related to your ownership of that days, it's related to the contract you "signed". Or you can publish them on the web and countle

That's interesting, which are the many countries of which you have personal knowledge? Name five maybe? Do these countries have mechanisms to report problems with medications in general, and exceptions for vaccines, or haven't the
