This is nothing new. Amazon has attempted to enforce their non-compete clauses again and again, often losing but causing financial burdens on the individuals and their new employers. Just another reason why you shouldn't work for Amazon.

It's another gadget to carry arround, and if you lose it or forget it somewhere, you're SOL. Better have a KeePass2 database on your phone synced to a cloud storage.

If you look at the complaint, it suggests Amazon (and the person being sued) has been working on a similar collaboration product of some type, presumably as part of their "Business Productivity" unit; Workmail/Workdocs/Workspaces/Chime.

"AWS currently offers numerous cloud-based productivity products for businesses—i.e., products designed to streamline work processes—including products for corporate email and calendaring, document storage and collaboration, virtual meetings, video calls, and chats, and virtual desktops. AWS’s product offerings are in constant development....AWS competes with Smartsheet (Amazon will submit to the court more detailed information regarding these efforts, under seal, and attorneys eyes only, at the appropriate time)....Shortly before he left AWS, he worked on a critical component of [REDACTED] and received extensive confidential information about how [REDACTED]."
From the actual ruling:

Finally, respondents’ claim that the screenings are compensable because Integrity Staffing could have reduced the time to a de minimis amount is properly presented at the bargaining table, not to a court in an FLSA claim.[0]

The petitioner brought the claim under FLSA. It sounds really bad on face that the workers have to do this as a condition of employment, but imagine if instead of this pat-down, the complex property was really big, and employees had to walk an extra 25 minutes to their station because public transit could not access those roads, no employee cars were allowed, and no shuttles were provided. It boils down to a worker/employer bargaining dispute, not a labor violation.

I don't know how much non-technical work remains. If I knew that, then that would mean that I'm in charge of both technical and non-technical work, with him acting as an employee and not a co-founder. That I can't count on him to "own" his area within the company is precisely the problem.

And in economics 102 they teach you that price elasticity of demand is rarely if ever at unity, and it's not generally even a linear function. For a good like Tesla, this is especially true, because income distribution is close to a normal distribution, not a uniform one (which is the circumstance where you would expect to see linear price elasticity of demand).
> The real story is the upward trend that if you give an inch, your employees will take a foot. If you offer telecommute, workers will not show up.

Isn't that the employer offering a foot, and the employees gladly taking them up on the offer, to the mutual benefit of both? It's not like they're helping themselves to a pocketful of pens and a spare monitor on their way home.

Affinity Designer development seems to have stalled. There are many requests for features that have been accepted but untouched for a year or two. My current showstopper: export to DXF.
One hint from personal experience is you will always need at least one real-life interaction before being taken seriously. Such interaction can be a tech conference, a common acquaintance, a direct interview at their HQ, etc. etc. The more the market is flooded by unknown / untested quantities from everywhere, the more trust building goes back to pre-internet methods.
The OP suggested that no web/Electron based editor could have "complex vector editing, gradients and co on screen". This has nothing to do with achieving 100% feature parity, so yes, we can tell. Anything else is moving the goalposts.

100% feature parity is a meaningless test in any case. Sketch doesn't have 100% parity with Inkscape, which doesn't have 100% parity with Affinity Designer, which doesn't have 100% parity with Illustrator, etc.

It doesn't sound like you actually have a "company". Or do you?

If you didn't incorporate yet, then you owe each other nothing. Maybe your friendship will end, but that's still separate from an actual business.

Then again, I don't know if you yourself are that committed either. A month and a half off from work to prepare a speech means you're not fully committed. If this was because he's not doing much work either and you got demotivated because of that, then this entire relationship is a cancer and you should break up as soon as possible because it sounds like you will be more motivated without him.

Online Load Boards: Questions and Answers
Yes, of course you don't, I think you misunderstood my comment. The comment I replied to was asking about true brute force enumeration of all boards -- not a solver that uses inferences based on the hints -- he guessed that you only need 9! * 9! total attempts which implies enumerating all boards and picking the one that matches the initial hints. This is in fact a constant time solution like he guessed, but it is also intractable.

A normal "very simple" solver of the kind you're talking about will solve the solution very quickly, in seconds or less, and it will also not be a constant time algorithm.
I agree with this statement, but the first one:

I think can be true, but many aspects of IT are skills-based honestly. And there will always be the ability to self-teach skills-based work. Some of this skill-based work is just well-paying right now. Because everyone needs it for something.

There are plenty of places that allow for small (van sized) private bus/shuttles to operate, they however do not seem want to go that route and usually either shadow existing bus route or have their own routes where buses do not usually go (and usually a mix of both).

The problem is that when you turn busses into cars for hire you end up in a situation where you'll get a lot of people pissed all the time.

Ride sharing with even 5 people that are not bound to the same destination is a nightmare.

Think about what happen when you have a bus with 18 people that is diverted because someone called it and then cancels it?

How do you plan stops? Uber can stop nearly anywhere a bus usually needs bus stop not just to not block traffic but because people need to be able to safely get on and off the bus which is much harder to do than with a car as a bus blocks the view much more than a smaller sedan.

Sorry; I'll buy a Tesla that works for Uber while you are at work all day long, I will not buy ridesharing with on-demand hailing and bespoke routes and destinations with 20 people on board.

The best thing you can do get working is a fixed route without fixed stops, and this works today it's called hop-on-hop-off busses and it works in many places including London.
That's plain insulting to the people even on here that use iOS. Some of us have owned competing devices. Some of us ran, and still run, Linux on our main PCs.

One thing to remember is that this maps direct sunlight. Skyscrapers are decently reflective, and outside the absolute darkest blocks mentioned you can expect a fair bit of diffuse lighting.

It sounds like you've already made up your mind -- now it's time to take action. Stop "alluding" to things. Don't expect people to read your thoughts.

Tell your cofounder that you'd prefer to work on the idea on your own, and if he agrees, ask him to sign an agreement.

If he's your friend, and if he doesn't care much about the project anyway, that shouldn't be an issue.

If your friend doesn't want to agree to that, one thing you could offer is a mutual agreement to license all existing ideas and code to eachother, allowing each one of you to pursue the project on their own with new partners.

It makes sense from a marketing standpoint, IMO.

If the phone is as good as it's supposed to be, they've given Sprint a reason to promote it for them. Sprint gets an angle to look forward thinking/innovative and probably pick up some new customers. Sprint already heavily advertises and now this phone will be featured as part of that advertising. Sprint needs ways to differentiate itself in the marketplace and this could be a solid way to do it.

For Essential, it's a way to create demand an a bit of an exclusivity feel and get a truckload of free advertising on the back of a giant. Essential isn't Apple or Google. They won't have the out of the gate manufacturing or marketing channels available that either of those two giants have so this will also provide a means of somewhat controlling demand.

For people using Sprint, they get to feel a little smug if they whip this phone out and it IS awesome. If it's as good as it could be, you create a means of having that drool-inducing effect that makes people seriously consider switching to get one.

I'll go ahead and tell you...I want one. I think it looks like a great design, but I'm on an iPhone right now along with my entire family. The parental control features basically lock me into an iPhone until the kids get older. It's a small network effect....but whether essential was on AT&T, Verizon or Sprint...I still couldn't get one because I'm stuck on Apple and not AT&T.

Thanks for your reply. No, we do not have a company. We delayed incorporating to avoid expenses before the product was ready. Now that the product is close to being ready I'm fine with incorporating, but don't want to do so if my co-founder isn't invested.

> Then again, I don't know if you yourself are that committed either. A month and a half off from work to prepare a speech means you're not fully committed.

No, that was simply a mistake. I'm not going to take on any such side commitments for the foreseeable future. I recognized the mistake and course-corrected.
Most people don't value human life in proportion to intelligence. You can certainly construct an ethical framework with various thresholds, but my point is that the actual rules in place today reflect a regulatory equilibrium rather than a self-consistent moral philosophy. Most sensible philosophies will consider at least some modern accepted practices to be morally reprehensible.

I also use "right" and "ok" sometimes, with the right inflection it can signal continued interest, though you have to be careful not to sound impatient.

Another technique I find effective in active listening is to periodically rephrase/summarize/"ask for clarification" on the last minute or two. (The last one even when I fully understand the subject.)
Knowing the architecture of ARM is a perk, but the software is going to be all CUDA / OpenCL / Vulkan Compute - the CPU side is just going to be a shim layer to get kernels to execute on that graphics card and won't take much development and will hopefully just be the same open standard everyone uses.

I accept that people who are unlucky or demonstrate poor judgement will suffer and die.

Oof. That’s quite an admission.

I thank you for stating it though. I think our politics would be in a better place if people would admit things like this more.

I suspect that a lot of Republicans have the opinion that the poor don’t _deserve_ to be taken care of by society, because they believe that they are poor because of their own inaction. But it’s impossible to debate this - and change minds either way - because we don’t admit that point of view in discussion.

So, random question: if you end up interviewing for Amazon at some point, is it a faux-pas to bring up legal troubles and controversial issues like this while speaking to your interviewers? Is it a bad idea to bring up (for example) this non-compete behavior on the part of the company when negotiating, or should you keep quiet about it?

This seems like the sort of thing that should give someone pause when interviewing with Amazon for a job.

I think a lot of that is the market.
I am on the fence about whether companies with 100% remote workers have an engineering advantage.

First, you have more layers of (mis)communication with remote since non-developer/engineering stakeholders won't be able to know whether their points and concepts are properly being understood by developers. Body language and tonality (voice inflection) are lost online. There are ways to minimize miscommunication through agile and lean processes but that needs to be in place before working with people remotely.

Second, tech companies might be known for having lavish office spaces so their employees want to be there. If their employees want to be there then it is easier to attract and retain them. On the other hand, bad egos can easily zap that synergy if not properly kept in check.

Attracting and keeping human capital is a very difficult problem not just in tech.
But all of that assumes that you're just plotting it on a graph and checking how it looks. Humans are capable of doing more assessment than that. Really a manager should do at least some cursory checks of documentation, etc. to ensure that it's not poorly written, etc.

> It doesn't sound like you actually have a "company". Or do you?

> If you didn't incorporate yet, then you owe each other nothing.

Anything that does business is a company (incorporation is needed to form a corporation, which is a specific kind of company; the term is often also used for forming a LLC, another particular kind of company); if two people have joined together with the intent of making a for-profit enterprise but with no formal agreement, it is a partnership.

See, e.g., the first couple paragraphs of this piece, even though the whole piece is focussed on unincorporated nonprofit associations: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-an-unincorporate...

And, even when informally formed, partnerships do have consequences while they exist and steps that need to occur to finally end them. Particularly, getting rid of a partner in such a situation generally means dissolving the partnership. Here's one guide, but definitely not complete info for all scenarios: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/dissolve-informal-partnership...
So much missing-the-point in this thread. The point isn't "can we solve sudoku with a completely over-wrought solution", it's "can NN be applied to X class of problems with no human-added domain specific knowledge". And that I think is quite cool.
Thanks for your reply. I haven't made up my mind. I'd much prefer to pursue this with someone else rather than on my own. But I can't make him be motivated. Aside from asking him what he's gotten done, what can I do? If anyone has suggestions here I'd be very grateful.

All of your other advise is excellent. I think this is exactly what I should do, if it comes to that.
> If clones in as exactly identical environments as researchers can create and perceive still wind up with such dramatic individual differences, how is science even possible on what causes the differences?

Obviously science can't find the causes of differences that are uncaused.

" 2017, the year GPU’s finally begin to permanently displace the venerated x86 based CPU"

he never specifies what he means by displace exactly, and follows up with vacuous statements like "x86 party ends in 2017". The entire thing sounds like trying to manufacture a momentous event out of a gradual shift of market profits and priorities over time. Best you could hope for is to state that Intel has failed to take a significant market in high end throughput computing (ie. desktop and HPC GPUs), but its doing quite well with integrated GPUs.

Uh... GPUs and CPUs fill very different niches.

GPUs aren't going to _replace_ CPUs any time soon because GPUs aren't capable nor designed for general-purpose processing. It's a fundamentally REALLY HARD problem to use GPUs to speed up any arbitrary computations (solve it and you'll be a shoo-in for the Turing Award).

Businesses aren't going to be "moving" to GPUs. The "age of NVIDIA" is primarily predicated on its role in accelerating training the machine learning algorithms hyped up as "deep learning."

And AMD still very much has an uphill battle on both the CPU and the GPU fronts.

But yes, the excitement around Intel that used to be there is now gone. You can probably blame the "death of the PC" -- we teach kids coding in the Bay Area, and every single kid has an iPad tablet, but not a laptop. Sure professional engineers like us still have x86 laptops, but the average person does not.
I should point out that the private option exists in the UK as well, if you have money and don't want to wait. And of course there's a normal range of OTC drugs including aspirin - unless you're in Scotland it's cheaper to buy it yourself than pay the £7 flat prescription charge.

NHS triage is pretty effective: stuff that might actually kill you gets seen to immediately. Chronic conditions get managed long-term. The vast majority of the long waits are for things like hip operations, which will improve quality of life but aren't particularly urgent.
