Those things could be related to any change in society. There's nothing to suggest it's plastics in particular, right?

Yes but you still use tap water for cooking I presume. And it's used for agriculture. So you'd still end up ingesting PFAS if the water supply is contaminated, since it does not break down with heat.

If you want to share some more (approximate) numbers, I'm very curious. What equity percentage did you have at the start? And were your shares worth more at an earlier investment round than at the exit?

One problem with cooking is that your pans and heat transfer do not scale. So you cannot just arbitrarily scale up/down recipes, even if you take precise measurements. The result may be way too watery or dry, for example. (I guess this

This is not about software obfuscation, this is about cryptographic indistinguishability obfuscation (iO). It's targeting a different problem -- software obfuscation is more about hiding program behavior, whereas iO is more useful for

The EU also has strong consumer protection regulations, such as a minimum 2 year warranty, that are factored into the price. Also, prices from Apple resellers can be lower than what you get from Apple themselves, usually similar to Apple wi

I find it a little odd the author mentions C++ often. I think the use cases for C++ and Rust are pretty interchangeable, and C++ devs would and should probably know about lifetimes anyway. (That said: yeah, don't use Rust for CRUD apps

I like the idea, but it will never take off. People are fundamentally lazy when it comes to these things. Look at the surging popularity of voice messages in some circles, shifting the burden of communication fully to the receiver. Even if

Secure multiparty computation (MPC) does help here. Suppose you have multiple organizations that want to run some computation on their joint data, without revealing their data to each other. Each organization has their own machine that runs

One other thing that is really cool about secret sharing, is that you can actually perform computations (addition, multiplication) on secret-shared numbers. This way you can actually perform arbitrary calculations "in the encrypted dom

It's also a question of where you want your money to go. Do you want to support Apple, or would you rather support a relatively small independent company that promotes repairability?

Wait, you were offered an equity package years ago but are only now receiving the certificates, and there is still a remaining vesting schedule? This sounds extremely fishy. I think a fixed-time vesting over 4 years is pretty standard, st

I cannot imagine the pain you're feeling. I'd just like to add to the other comments that you can also refuse the settlement and still not pursue litigation (the latter will undoubtedly add additional stress). The advantage here i

I like this because these restrictions paint a very realistic picture of the current state of the art of autonomous vehicles. Any claims beyond these are likely just marketing fluff (at this point in time).

People that prefer native apps reason from the user's perspective, not the developer's. The user doesn't benefit from the fact that it's easier to get a web app up and running; they just see a GUI that is less responsive
