My uncle went through a similar situation. He owned a company and got divorced, he had to pay her out the valuation of the company, just like he had a mortgage. What's worse, she went to some stupid get all your money in one lump sum place and instantly lost like 60% of the value. So in addition to losing money to interest he had to live with knowing that his kids only got 40% of what he was paying.

It taught me that it's important to have a prenup. There are things that should be communal assets, a company is not one of those things.

Any way to just close the company down and then re-found it with your partners? Or structure it so that they "fire you" or buy you out for a fraction of the value and then give you equity bonus on rehire? I don't know if any of these things are legal, but after seeing how miserable my uncle was, I would go to extreme lengths to avoid being in a situation where I had to buy my own company back from my ex-wife.
We're bigger now, but our market has changed dramatically and we'll need to pivot/diversify successfully in order to avoid fading away in 2-3 years.

So effectively you’re asking whether you would invest a big share of your income over the next 8 years to buy more of this company as it is now, with a high risk profile. That’s a tough choice.

Any likelihood of raising capital in the near future to fund expansion / pivot? An ideal outcome would probably be to sell them your wife’s shares as part of the deal & buy her out that way. Would be tricky to get everything to line up though.

I am exploring transferring 1/2 my shares to her, which is less than ideal for a lot of reasons, but I suspect she and her attorney will fight to reject that (as it doesn't give her any cash). Not sure if it's possible or not. Downside of course is that then I'm in business with my ex-wife. As is my partner. Not ideal. But perhaps better than the alternative of paying her out over 8 years on top of the alimony...

You don’t know until you make the offer!

Something to watch out for: you’ll be paying off her share of the company out of taxed income. Make sure the numbers work for you: worst case, she earns nothing & that 32% + the fixed payment exceeds your income after tax + necessary expenses. This would be a bad outcome...
Little bit late on the post I'd say. I started seeing LaCroix at every single startup around 2013. It's the only logical choice. No sugar, no calories, check. Cold, fizzy, and tasty, check.
In Germany and many places if not all of west and central Europe products get detailed labeling of ingredients. For instance if you buy what's supposedly a brand name syrup of plums and therefore should be 100% the result of cooking plums and nothing else except maybe conservatives, what you actually get according to the label is 99% various forms of industrialized sugar and then a little bit of plum flavor. This is great because I've also found such syrup which was what you'd expect and pretty much the same thing you get when you do at home, but it wasn't from the most famous brand in Germany, which is disturbing given the price you have to pay for the brand. Same with stuff that's supposed to be honey or all those fancy teas which have no trace of what the label says if you look into the ingredients list. Most people do not bother to read it, and I don't blame them, but if you do, you start to put many products on a personal blacklist of fakes.

That said, do US products not carry detailed ingredient lists or is this product discussed in the article part of a group of products that are exempt?

I was surprised by this part, too, and I figured the same thing. I've been playing guitar for most of my life, and the lower tension on electric strings is why I recommend to pretty much anyone to start with an electric, even though the electric guitar seems like the more "advanced" instrument.
FWIW, aloe isn't really a good remedy for sunburn. A sunburn, like any other skinburn, should be treated quickly with lots of running water slightly colder than lukewarm; i.e. a cold shower. That's a lot more efficient due to basic physics.
Because why not? I have room in my pocket and 99% of my phone use is internet.
This is not necessarily true. For example, your market may be too small / niche to attract venture backed companies but large enough to sustain your lifestyle business.

Laws and their enforcement are inherently coercive

Not if the law is no more than the collective extension to our individual, innate right to self-defense.[1]

> How about a suggestion that can make both of use happy? We keep the FDA, they do everything the do now, only that other products can still be sold, but they need to have a reasonably BIG label on it, that they are not FDA approved. We put a tiny tax on all products actually approved by the FDA to fund the FDA.

Sure, with two small changes. One, we make the FDA tax progressive. Use whatever argument you like to justify this, like rich people's lives are more valuable, and therefore they can pay more to stay alive, but the key is that everyone will buy into the system in a way that they can both afford, AND be emotionally invested in.

Second, all non-FDA labeled products will have a MASSIVE tax applied, to pay for the externalized costs of bad food, such as emergency room visits, death, sickness, etc.

Of course we need a state to enforce this system, and it won't work any better than the existing one, but hey, it's a market solution!

I thought Guitar Hero would help by providing an intermediate, even if fake, land to experience time and melody.

About heroes, don't you think the whole music industry, culture even has faded ? I don't feel anything like the days of Queen at Wembley, Dire Straits, Police, even festivals seeems to be down to mundane and not as glowing as before (granted 1: I wasn't born for these, 2: generation bias can be at play). From 50s to 70s there was a pioneering vibe there.

About teaching, how do you blend theory after the "play your favorite melody" stage ? not a critical question, just curious.
I find that theory helps you reach intuition much, much faster for whats already out there, and then you're equipped to reach out into truly new areas.

Its the same for engineering - if you don't read the existing work in the space of the problem you're trying to solve, chances are you'll spend years doing what could've taken weeks.
Nowadays, you can still ignore: while you're so low down on the stack that you don't have to worry about that stuff, new newbs don't have to worry about that stuff because they're too high up the stack. Many new newbs learn javascript, so not only are they upstack, they still have to deal with the "joy" of re-writing the display by hand every frame.

And I should know, because I was one (although I learned python, and never got into the graphics stuff).
I know the guy who created this language. He is both passionate of programming and music. Very cool guy.

I personally view Facebook as an advertisement platform equally for both corporations and individuals. Corporations selling their stuff as usual, and individuals selling themselves.

So what I do is unfollow all my friends by default, and I use FB only to discover interesting events, and for basic messaging with friends.
Depends on the product I suppose, if it's niche enough you may not have big competitors at all. I choose to entire a SaaS market that is already monopolized but I'm still paying my bills. That's definitely something to watch out for though, I think it's best to have many smaller products for redundancy, at least that's my plan.
Nothing better than rules based on bad data and security theater.
> Who elected him entrepreneur-in-chief?

He is. The building of publicly accessible next-gen infrastructure should be rewarded, especially when the government isn't willing to do it.

That's the point. He's also taking the risk that he's sinking millions (billions?) of dollars into an infrastructure that might go the way of the betamax.
As someone who has been dealing with managing Python requirements a lot lately, I was excited to see what Pipfile is all about. After reading the post and all the comments here, it's still not really clear to me what the value add is over existing solutions.

There are a lot of mentions of deterministic builds, but that is already very achievable with pip-compile (part of pip-tools) or just pip freeze.

The grouping functionality allows you to have just one requirements file instead of one per environment (i.e. production, test, development, etc) which is mostly just a personal preference IMO. This isn't particularly compelling to me, but that could be because I'm already used to the traditional "pythonic" way of having one file per environment. Using the -r command within a requirement file allows one to recursively include other requirements files to avoid duplication of common dependencies across environments.

The difference in syntax between traditional requirements files and Pipfiles is indeed pretty large. The Pipfile syntax is quite a bit more verbose which I'm personally not a fan of, but this will come down to personal preference and what one is familiar with.

It's unclear if Pipfiles as proposed here is meant to include the dependency resolution functionality of the pip-compile command provided by pip-tools. That is a very critical step as vanilla pip makes no guarantees about respecting version pins of nested dependencies; only that some version of a nested dependency will be present but not necessarily the one intended.

Another big unknown that others have asked about as well is how Pipfiles can be used to manage requirements for a library in a way that allows other libraries/apps that do not use Pipfiles themselves to still list said library in their requirements.txt.

Apologies if my comments comes across as overly negative or dismissive; I applaud any effort to improve the tooling around Python dependencies. But as someone already familiar with the Python/pip ecosystem, it's not clear how this would improve or simplify the solutions that are already out there.
> Is there any valid reason for this?

If they know that at some point they'll have to ask you to enter your password over a restricted input-method (e.g. on a DTMF keypad.)
You are making more of a drama then this is. If it would be a huge problem there are a hole host of possible solutions. From small many small stores to delivery network.

A company could buy on mass with different stores and sell standard packages to small stores and home owners directly.

Also other product producers who are getting pushed out are probably searching for solutions to reach costumer right now.

These doom and gloom prediction almost always turn out to be wrong. I have actual read your exact argument before, that was before the korean immigration when the opened stores everywhere.

The port of RISC OS for Raspberry Pi contains a BBC BASIC interpreter:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/risc-os-for-raspberry-pi/

I think you hit F12 and then type 'basic' (no quotes) at the prompt to get to it.
This is only true for cloud based password managers. I recommend using 1Password or KeePassX with Dropbox.
I think you're misunderstanding the meaning of 'stack' in "full-stack".

The 'stack' in full-stack refers to a solution stack. You can read about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_stack

The terminology full-stack is meaningful to discern between an expert at one part of the stack and someone who knows how to set up and manage all parts of the stack. For example, consider the LAMP stack:

Linux
Apache
MySql
PHP

A Full-Stack developer is someone who knows enough Linux to set up an Apache server and MySql database, enough MySql to create a database, enough PHP to render a decent web page.

On the other hand, a frontend developer knows the gritty details about how to render a beautiful and performant webpage that works on IE6, iPhones on 2G and your 4k monitor.
> The products all listed aloe barbadensis leaf juice — another name for aloe vera — as either the No. 1 ingredient or No. 2 after water.
Actually that's least exciting release I saw for some time. Is it just me or are the changes rather minor for non-EE users this month?

These products are required to list ingredients. The problem here is the ingredient lists is a straight up lie.

My thinking for v2 is to use Honey Badger BFT, with multi party computation for bonding / unbonding

Overall I agree with Tendermint (and contra Casper or DFinity) that it's better to just drop availability and to have a less subjective security model. It sucks to get stuck if the validator set becomes compromised, but it's not the end of the world.

You want to know what's in your shampoo? Too bad! You think you get to at least know what the "medicinal ingredient" is in your toothpaste?

A bottle of shampoo from my bathroom has this list of ingredients on it:

aqua, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, glycerin, panthenol, glyceryl oleate, hydrolyzed wheat protein, sodium benzoate, parfum, citric acid, denatonium benzoate, tocopherol, hydrogenated palm glycerides citrate, lecithin, ascorbyl palmitate.

A toothpaste has this list on it:

aqua, sorbitol, hydrated silica, PEG-8, xanthan gum, sodium lauryl sulfate, aroma, sodium monofluorophosphate, calcium glycerophosphate, sodium sacharin, methylparaben, propylparaben, CI 73360.

Granted, this is in EU...

Edit: a funny typo, there's bound to be more.

They are trying to predict what types of html pages cause parsing problems. They have a set of variables that describe an html page. They are trying to figure out which variable or combination of variables predict a bad parsing outcome.

Think of cluster analysis as simply plotting those variables as points on a graph. Then drawing a circle around points that are close to each other.
In that case it's clear fraud and will be dealt with, I assume. Given the comments here about a liberal market, I assumed labeling requirements are less strict over there.
You know what I don't get? How would regulations (the bane of the libertarian existence) be burdensome in this situation?

The regulation could say something like, products labeled "aloe vera" must contain mechanically extracted aloe vera without chemical alteration. I would guess that that's what most people who're trying to buy aloe vera are actually trying to buy. They're probably not trying to buy aloe vera with sugar added or with various additives replacing the aloe vera bits or whatever. (And isn't this who regulations are for? The buyers?)

People who want the sugary aloe vera could still buy it, but it'd have to be called something else. "Burn liniment with aloe vera in it somehow," maybe.

How would that burden manufacturers?

(By the way, I do agree with the libertarian angst around regulations, but mostly where those regulations are used as weapons against historically disadvantaged communities. Like the regulations around hairdressing that make people do some ungodly huge number of training hours to be able to braid cornrows for money. The law often gets crafted to keep poor folks or minorities down, and that pisses me off. Get rid of that shit yesterday!)

The problem has historically been that most J2EE frameworks overly rely on delegation, because of GoF.

I don't like seeing the same 5 stack frames in the same class appear three separate times in a single stack trace. Because what does that stack trace say?

It says it took Foo five function calls -on itself- to figure out it's not responsible for an operation. So Foo asks Bar to do it, and after half a dozen more function calls someone asks Foo all over again. Who takes 5 function calls to figure out it's STILL not responsible for this action. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

And how do you set a breakpoint in that call tree? Which time do you want to debug it? How many more times was it called before the exception was thrown?
Maybe true, but not libertarians.
I'm not sure what you mean by this question. What that lecture covers is essentially how to express an approximation of the operational semantics of a simple language as a logic formula in a very specific kind of logic (ie one of the theories supported by the Z3 SMT solver). It only supports a small number of constructs and data types, and handles infinite loops by placing an arbitrary bound on how far a program can run. It doesn't tell you anything about "all programs" or "all functions".
[offtopic] I think presentations with ascending bar charts are sort of cliche.
A lot of this has to do with experience and whether or not you're trying to fulfill expectations (VCs, etc). You really don't know when a product will become loved no matter how much you iterate and it's also impossible to know for sure how long you need to "slog" it out. Some products become loved far earlier than others. The best thing to do as a founder is to drive at your vision hard as quickly as possible, acquire users to test multiple theories and gather feedback, and iterate when there are signs. Even then, not all iterations or pivots are created equal. There are many different ways to grow a business (many of which veer from traditional silicon valley values) and it's up to the founder to stick to his/her own values and to what makes sense at the time. I don't think there's a single founder out there who wants to build just a mediocre product. This is why product-market fit should be the primary focus for any growing business.

I know. There's even instructions for how to build one online (http://searle.hostei.com/grant/JupiterAce/JupiterAce.html, the very site that I used as a basis for my design, no less) But that has (gasp!) a screen, and while I could no doubt program it (with some trial and error, because I suck), I very much doubt I could actually build it. Maybe if this design works (dubious, but perhaps eventually), I'll give it a shot.

The social network has quietly developed software to suppress posts from appearing in people’s news feeds in specific geographic areas, according to three current and former Facebook employees, who asked for anonymity because the tool is confidential. The feature was created to help Facebook get into China, a market where the social network has been blocked, these people said. Mr. Zuckerberg has supported and defended the effort, the people added.

Exactly what we should expect of him, given his track record with authoritarian regimes thus far.

At least it's plain to see now what his idea of a "more open and connected" world really means.

I'm not even sure what Blue Nation Review is, but it looks like pure sewage, the sort of thing that Digg was like in its dark days.
In the modern context, engineering suggests a highly rigorous approach to design, testing, and implementation. This is typically only done for things where lives are at stake (civil, chemical, aerospace, etc.), or where a great inventories and reputations are at risk.

Very little software (even at Google/Apple/Facebook/etc.) is written to that standard -- regardless of how many "Software Engineers" they may employ -- because the cost of mistakes is still far less than the cost of adopting a more formal approach.

It's all about the process. Answering algorithms questions off the top of your head is neither here nor there.
Fender entry level brand Squier did produce a weird line of Bass Guitars called the Vintage Modified. These go between 200-300 on second hand markets. I can't thank them enough for it, I spent 5 years on what I now call a shovel [1] that is the musical equivalent of a resistor. I never got the Fender craze, but they put just enough of their savoir faire in this VM serie to allow students to tickle beautiful sound and ergonomics [2]. I went from deadended hopeless student to inspired and happy the minute I bought mine. Sometimes the instruments makes the player.

[1] Ibanez SR400, funny enough, I used to love high end brands made by Ibanez designer; smooth like butter in every way

[2] as counterintuitive as it can be, Fender bass are larger, heavier, thicker than others, but you don't feel it while playing. It's not tiring. And you get a pinch of the famous Fender sound, beautiful mediums (even unplugged) and a tiny growl.

At a certain combination of latency and volume polling becomes impossible so webhooks (or something analogous) are all you've got :)

Isn't it the opposite? At a certain volume, when each polling request aways returns results, polling becomes more efficient than "interrupts". It's only at low volumes that webhooks are more efficient, since polling would have to issue a lot of requests with no response if a low latency is required.
The most surprising thing to me is that Tinder has 200 employees (and plans to double it).
Yep. The John Birch Society literally tries to redefine "inflation" as "the central bank makes more cash available" (more M0, though they don't use such highfalutin terms), because ridiculous bollocks is much easier to prove if you assume your conclusion.

Bitcoin ideology assumes that inflation is a purely monetary phenomenon, and that Bitcoin is immune due to its strictly limited supply. This was demonstrated stupendously false when the price of a bitcoin dropped from $1000 in late 2013 to $200 in early 2015 - 400% inflation - while supply only went up 10%.

The conventional view is that inflation is a phenomenon of consumer prices, consumer confidence, productivity, commodity and asset prices, etc., which a central bank then responds to with monetary policy. The conspiracist view is that it's the central bank intervention causing it.

Even people who've suffered bitcoiners' strident blaring ideological lunacy frequently don't realise the depths of economic delusion that goes into the ideology. I suppose we can be grateful that they adopted only Eustace Mullins' central bank conspiracy theories and not his antisemitism. Mostly, anyway.
