If you are running an incorporated business you as an owner would take any investment money you want to put into the company in the Business Owner Contributions (equity investment account)/Business Checking account.

You can easily do this by writing a personal check to your company and writing Owner Contribution by Your Title, First name Middle Initial Last Name on the For line.

Just remember you need to accurately record your personal investments into your business for accounting purposes. Easiest way is writing checks, which the bank will record the front and back of when you deposit them. If there is an emergency and you need to get money to the account faster a transfer would be ok too as long as it is properly recorded in your business accounting ledger.

If your an LLC or S-Corp it may work fine since the taxes would fall through to you. If you are a C-Corp you would want to insure these are kept separate as a C-Corp pays their own taxes which would be separate from your personal income taxes.

To make sure though I would recommend you and the other owners visit a business accountant (hire one that is good and keep them on retainer or have someone that manages your books) so they can give you a better run down and the legal requirements you have to follow and account for.
Ask HN: Recommended Business Studies/Finance Resources for Software Developers?
Many developers are interested in creating startups and need some understanding of business studies.

When I google "business studies for developers", nothing of substance comes up.

In Silicon Valley (S1E2), the startup require a 'cap table, investment deck, business plan, and other relevant paperwork' to give to their investor, and they are clueless.

Do you have any recommended business studies/finance tesources for those from a development background?
who are they???
Writing them down also happens to be recommended by Bruce Schneier, though I'm not sure what he'd say about how you're using Firefox:

Indifference is the purest form of inclusiveness. IMHO employers should not be asking people their gender, age, race, sexual preference even if the information is voluntary because ultimately they should not care what the answers are. Employers should only care that everyone gets a fair and equal opportunity to progress within the company and enjoys a safe and inclusive work environment.

I'm sure Github means well and I hope this works out for them though I have to say I'm highly skeptical this will create the environment they are shooting for. I will eagerly be watching to see how this all turns out.
But until that happens, don't buy from big drug sellers.

In a broader sense: We can acknowledge that there's an underlying problem, and how to fix it, while at the same time being willing to advocate a temporary fix until the underlying problem actually is fixed.

Think of it like polyfill: The underlying problem is that old browsers exist, but we can't boil the ocean and make everyone upgrade, so we use polyfills to gain the functionality we want on those old browsers.
> How did light bulbs ever become cheap enough to use without anyone using them?

They didn't, which is why adoption was gradual.

Had there been a concern for a major global environmental catastrophe which more rapid adoption of electric lighting would help stave off, public subsidies to encourage adoption and accelerate development might have made sense.
This is the best thing about Donald Trump being the President. Perhaps the only good thing. "We should fine people for saying untrue things." "You think it's a good idea to let Donald Trump determine what is true and levy fines against anyone he disagrees with?" I'm trying to turn this into a "thing." If you wouldn't let Donald Trump manage your 401k, maybe we shouldn't give our retirement funds (SS) to the government. How about your health insurance? Want him running that? etc.

I'm surprised to learn this is such a common thing that it has a name "California No", and it also reminds me that there is something wrong with the people of California :)

In my experience, someone who can't say no is not being polite; they are being quite rude. Stringing people along is rude. It is far more polite to outright tell someone that you are not interested and then everyone can move along. Even for dating, I can't speak for other people, but a simple "not interested" is more polite than being ambiguous. There is no "growing number" of folks who react violently because violent reactions, in general, have decreased over time -- and if anything, a clear "no" is likely better than being unclear. In my experience someone would be more angry at being misled over a period of time.
Ask HN: How can I learn more about info that ad companies gather?
Like many of you, I'm rather paranoid about online information that 3rd parties gather and store about me. I use uBlock origin, Privacy Badger, and have disabled third-party cookies. Somehow, much of my browsing is still being tracked and stored. How can I opt out of this mess? How can I browse safely? How can I purge my existing data from every available service? I'm worried that given enough years, my private internet history will be up for grabs and every one of my insecurities, curiosities, and mistakes will be known to all who want to take a peek. What can I do to protect myself?

Just today I started to look into RLPx to do some basic network discovery, so your guide is quite nice to have as a reference. But I had some difficulties getting started, because the RLPx spec was not simple to find (ethereum wiki -> devp2p -> RLPx) and is quite terse. I myself wasn't able to decode the packet structure.

Looking into ethereum related stuff I often get the feeling that one already needs to know half of ethereum quite decent to learn something new, which makes it hard to even get started.

Reading your guide (am not finished yet) gives me a better picture of the things I actually need to do, to start discovering some nodes, so I'm really thankful for that and hope for more beginner targeted ethereum content.
This may be particularly true in romantic relationships.

What I take from this article is that social interaction is extremely important to ones health, and it's something that we largely taken for granted. In the age of computers and secluded work environments, I think we need to be aware of the effect that even casual interaction has on our mental and physical health. I have some personal/anecdotal experience which back this research up and affirms my belief that communication and interaction with others is vital.

I've been working from home for a number of years. During this time I've on average spoken with and interacted with 1 person every day - my wife.

I occasionally go out, occasionally see family members, but the majority of my day-to-day work is quiet, alone, working at a computer.

- I have been more sick in recent years than ever before in my life. This is even compared to previously living in a major city and taking public transportation.

- I have been experiencing sharp mental decline especially in the last year. Solving complex problems is much more challenging.

- My memory is suffering. Even my wife has begun to notice, I forget little things and have developed an "aloof professor" disposition that wasn't natural to me.

- I now find social interaction more difficult. I'm more akward, and find myself over-thinking previously natural interactions.

- Lastly ... I'm far more depressed. I just don't enjoy much these days. I wake up, work, don't talk to many people.

The TLDR here is that I urge everyone to tend to their social garden. I let mine decay for too long, and I'm paying the price now. I am beginning the process of restoring connections, and getting out more, and I'm already noticing an improved mood.

Oh and I should mention - I'm naturally an introvert so this reclusive lifestyle was all too comfortable for me.
The WIRED story about the fall of DPR, although I don't have it currently, spins the story as a two part epic- really good read.
> It is interesting to see but I think Solidity is the first software language/framework that people with no experience writing it or running it, comment and write about it on hackernews as if they did.

Not at all. Deconstruction of PL design is a popular pastime here.

> A common criticism is the way for loops and arrays are implemented are broken? Well actually they should rarely be used in contracts

If they cannot be used safely, they shouldn't be in a language.

If they can be used safely, but it requires caution and is to be rarely done, then the syntax should reflect that by not making it so easy to use them.

> Once again the type system doesn't need to be perfect, if your code on the blockchain is broken you pay a transaction fee and the contract doesn't execute it.

The type system enforces invariants that go beyond code being broken in a sense that it doesn't run. Sometimes broken code does run, with catastrophic consequences - remember Mars lander crash? That was one example of an error that could be prevented by a sufficiently advanced type system - in F#, for example, types can reflect units of measurement, and the language will plainly not allow you to do nonsensical things like add together feet and meters, without explicitly converting one way or the other.

By its very nature, smart contracts on a blockchain that deals with money have a huge potential for this sort of thing - a contract that doesn't trigger an error, but which silently behaves differently from what was intended by the author. The consequences, as we can see here, can be staggering, as in millions of dollars in damages.

It follows that the language that is used to write them should use every known mechanism to discover such errors early. This includes strong typing, immutability, explicitness, design by contract etc.

> For a language that was made less than 3 years ago

The language was not made in a vacuum 3 years ago. Other languages preceded it, and provided valuable lessons in PL design. Why these lessons weren't heeded is a reasonable question to ask.

NeXt had gotten out of hardware to massively cut it's costs (and resized it's workforce). It had a good customer base for it's software. It likely would have continued on for a long while. I believe they would have repriced WebObjects and continued to enhance it and NextOS and grow their customer base.

Pixar was a software company when he purchased control. What turned them around was their switch to making feature films. I'm pretty sure that they would have gotten distribution from anyone once Toy Story was far enough along, the question is whether they could have financed the effort. Having Steve Jobs helped a lot because he believed in them and people would return his calls.

Let me put it another way. There is a whole army of successful technology CEOs who could have run NeXt or Pixar into the ground. The fact that both became huge successes wasn't just luck, Steve Jobs played a huge role in both.

Apple was going to switch to Windows NT or buy BeOS before Jobs convinced them that NextStep was the better option. He connived Disney to partner with Pixar. Could Steve Ballmer have done that?
T-Mobile's free roaming worked great for me when visiting Russia earlier this year. WhatsApp text messages, email, Google and Yandex maps, taxis, schedules etc. were all completely usable. Particularly funny since I was getting good connectivity far in the countryside, in the woods, in the sort of area where in the USA one might expect no coverage from any provider.

Uploading photos was a pain point though, and a major one: 2-5 minutes per image.
It's more of a habit than anything else at this point, but I've had multiple apps crash and need to be force-quit to reload properly. Facebook being the most common culprit.

I also have had some that seem to abuse running in the background and hurt battery life, so the necessary issues got me into the habit, and I have found no harm in continuing it.

For what it's worth, I now disable all background app refresh using the settings toggle anyway, so aside from rare crashes, it's all just habit now. Though, I find the comments from others here about privacy maybe another interesting reason to continue doing this

I'm not even sure it's just to ensure employment; that's a very simplistic explanation.

Languages and frameworks are how programmers communicate with each other. The same argument could be made for the English language. Developers will naturally congregate around common language because there is value in that. It's wrong to dismiss that value proposition as mere pop culture.
It's already known how to make someone really, really dizzy using VR. I bet we could use that to mimic "pain" and have the brain make sure you don't touch that hot nozzle again.
The charts show the way things are. One could certainly see things wrong with them. I believe the issue you see is that people spend more than their income? As 90% is going into the rent a cheaper lifestyle wouldn't change much. Teaching 40% of the population to spend only 1/3 on other things besides rent is not a reasonable goal but even if it was it wouldn't necessarily change anything. To state the obvious: It would be much easier to just lower the rent by 2/9. More interesting: The way rent works a reduction of 2/3 spending on other things would allow rent to grow to 110%.

I would change the game like this:

1) Remove interest from mortgage (with a maximum of 1 house per family)

2) Remove the obligation to pay that part of the debt backed by the house and make insurance mandatory.

3) Turn rent contracts into lease buy contracts retroactively.

4) Cut salaries by 70%.

For the US this would mean:

The minimum wage drops from 7.25 to 2.175 per hour.

Benefits drop from 1300 to 390.

Pensions drop from 2600 to 780.

And in stead of droves of people endlessly searching for a job that doesn't exist there would be countless jobs to chose from.

Personally I don't mind doing the same repetitive factory work for 3 months. If I can go do something else at any time it wouldn't bother me at all. Hell, flipping burgers for a few months might even be considered fun.

If you have people put a widget in a box for 50 years you shouldn't be surprised their mind draws a blank. Their entire education would amount to nothing more than a lack of boxed widgets. Years of missed widget boxing potential.
I'm rereading now and have spotted a third example: <spoiler alert>

Severian describes how Master Gurloes is an educated man and that he talks to other people/beings through something like a radio network at the top of the Tower.

It was phrased like this:

"He was the only one of our guild - Master Palaemon not excepted - who was unafraid of the energies there and the unseen mouths who spoke sometimes to human beings and sometimes to other mouths in other towers and keeps."
Can you point out some good resources that you used to integrate Django with vue? I have a full stack Django website and have often thought about using some js library and speeding things up on the front end (and reduce bandwith usage) but my (admittedly lazy) experiment with react/angular haven't gone anywhere much.

Any tips on how to start with the integration? Do you use node to serve the front end or is it served by django?
No, not at all. The missing ingredients are drive from an early age, extreme privilege from almost birth, and/or efficiency of work-ethic from an early age.

You can crank things out by putting in a lot of hours, to work towards a goal, but that's not actually enough. You needed to learn how to just process things efficiently and mechanically from the start.

You shouldn't have grown a sense of drive at age 23 and then needed to figure out how that works. You should have been efficient since forever, and then been able to deploy that towards drive at whatever age. Ideally, you should have had drive starting around age 14 on top of efficiency.

Provided you never managed any of those things, you should have just been born right. It's easy to hit all the top-ranked targets in life without having efficiency, or even an idea or drive before adulthood -- provided someone sent you to prep school, put you through top universities, and let you know you could start a business without worrying about ever starving or missing rent.

(I've met some people as privileged as that last description. The best among them is absolutely one of the most friendly, helpful, overall nice people I've ever met. Many of them are self-aware about the whole thing. Those who are neither nice nor self-aware are a danger to society, and IMHO haven't really earned it. Oh, and worse, some of the non-nice, self-unaware ones are in some very, very high places. Apparently they're awkward at parties, too.)
Except any reasonably complex interactions between parties which may or may not be accounting applications yet still need a distributed system of trust.

Which includes a few trillion dollar industries.
If you're going to make a SPA, why the heck wouldn't you use one of the frameworks that has tons of tutorials, walkthroughs, supporting libraries, and a zillion asked and answered questions on SO? In other words why not use one of the top 5 frameworks of the current time? It seems efficient to do so to me.

I like the intro, very clear! I also like the narrative cross-referencing the docs, which people will sooner or later need to do as well. I have to admit that I only glanced over the code.

This caught my attention: "In the EndPoint specification, it demands the "BE encoded 4-byte" address, which is exactly what's outputted by self.address.packed."

Does this mean that Ethereum only supports IPv4?

I searched around and only found this, dating back to 2014: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/IPv6
An example from a book I used to own, called, I think, _Treatment of Experimental Data_: imagine a factory manufacturing ball bearings. They want them all to have the same radius, but because of random errors, the radii will be normally distributed about some mean. If this is true, other random variables, such as the mass, can not be normally distributed.
The counter-counterargument is that we can legalize difficult-to-police but high-volume "sin" crimes, such as drug use and prostitution, regulate them to the point it's impossible to be a criminal syndicate in those realms, and leave the syndicates with lower-volume crimes, such as murder for hire.

Sure, we can't possibly legalize murder for hire and still have a functional society, but how much profit can you really make filling those kinds of contracts, especially in a world with no illegal drug trade and no human trafficking because hookers are now clean and legal? They can try to expand side businesses all they want, but some of them have a natural cap to how much demand there can be.
Awesome! I would suggest updating your documentation, as there are some places where the graphql-* variant is mentioned.

If you like this you may also enjoy "The Village Effect" by Susan Pinker[1]. In the book the author documents various ways in which social connectedness impacts our well being.

As this article and book say "loneliness kills", but what does that mean for those of us who want to live long and healthy lives? Do we need to start scheduling social time alongside gym time? Will a hug a day keep the doctor away? Should we join organized religions or get married strictly for the health benefits?

While it does shed a light on the "quest for meaning", this study is not useful as long as we lack the understanding of the role of personality. I think a good analogy is researchers finding that a certain disease kills, but not knowing how do you contract that disease and what you can do to cure it. It might help you identify your situation, but not how to change it.
Neat. I contemplated writing something like that, only without the "import rlp" cheat.

Basically, there were a lot of blind spots in the official documentation and it took me a while to figure out things like how to make a proper key recovery id or which endianness to use where in the messages.

How far have you been able to get to? I still can't quite wedge into the mainnet - the nodes keep disconnecting me for unknown reasons some time after, and finding a new node to connect to takes a while.

My node does works rather well on the ropsten testnet, however.
