It was Merkel that ended up doing it, while the Greens were not in power.

A GmbH is not like an LLC, it's more like a Delaware C-Corp. People forget this all the time.

by tdullien 3y ago
Important to realize: A GmbH is much closer to a Delaware C-Corp than to an LLC.

I have founded a company in Germany in 2004 and sold it to Google in 2011. I started an AG in Switzerland in 2019 and organized a Delaware-Flip therafter. Most of the described steps are also necessary for a Delaware incorporation, and I fo

You don't need a PR campaign to oust Sundar. I think 7 out of 10 Googlers would agree that Sundar is uninspiring and has allowed the erosion of most of what was good about Google's culture. I left partially because I hated the fee

The reality is that Rowhammer remains one of the hardest ways to compromise a machine, largely because the software stack most people are running isn't great.

Oh nice, I can't find that - can you post a link?

Yes and no. A simple frame pointer needs to be present in all libraries, and depending on build settings, this might not be the case. .eh_frame tends to be emitted almost everywhere... So it's both similarly fragile, but one is almost

Parca is open-source, Prodfiler's eBPF code is GPL, and the rest of Prodfiler is currently going through OTel donation, so my point is: There's now multiple FOSS implementations of a more generic and powerful technique.

As much as the return of frame pointers is a good thing, it's largely unnecessary -- it arrives at a point where multiple eBPF-based profilers are available that do fine using .eh_frame and also manually unwinding high level language r

eBPF has only recently become less bounded, at 4.15 for example it was still very bounded ;). (I assume you mean maximum # of instructions etc?)
104.
by tdullien 3y ago
In theory, yes. In practice pretty much all useful applications need to call kernel APIs that mandate the eBPF code being GPL.

There's a German rapper from the 1990's (MC Rene) that tried to turn himself into a standup comedian, and he wrote a book about doing the same a couple years ago: https://www.amazon.de/MC-Rene-Alles-Karte-sehen&#x2

I regularly consumed in excess of 1g of caffeine during my early to mid 20s, either via coffee, green tea, black tea, or mate, or mixtures thereof. I don't think 1g is a very rare dose?

Can you explain what you mean when you say "it transfers wealth to asset owners"? My understanding of wealth is assets, so the phrasing doesn't make sense to me. I think you mean to say imply that wages don't increase,
