You seem to have a more liberal interpretation of "somewhat limited" than I do.

I have ascribed a 45% chance to this statement, and last year bet $500 against it taking place:

"By July 2023, a self-driving car can be reliably hailed by a member of the general public in at least 10 North American cities. At least 8 cities must be outside the San Fransisco Bay Area. The car must available on at least 50% of days, i.e., not confined to very narrow weather or traffic situations. No back-up human may be physically present to take over in an emergency."

http://blog.jessriedel.com/2016/04/

Would you bet on that happening by July 2022? I would take on another $500.

Yes, but kotlin can already translate Java to Kotlin, and provides 90% of this – with far better IDE and editing support. Forking Kotlin seems like an easier solution.

Especially because of the IDE and compiler support for this, which means it can only reasonably be developed on Windows, and then you might as well use C#.
So the devtools were rewritten from scratch? Are they fast now? If they are I'll jump in.
I think this overstates the value of the MVP. It sounds like the CTO contributed only technical assets, while the OP is the one building the actual business.
But since anyone can act the same as the IoT device, there's no way to prove that the IP you're connecting to is the same device and not a MITM, other than if you've been to that host and accepted it's key and the system warms you in key changes.

Since it is decidedly not TLS, we should call that protocol something else. HTTPC perhaps then use SSH protocol on the outside with HTTP on the inside. Port 223/TCP.
No, actually. Today's Windows is more attractive than ever. As a developer, I even prefer it - unlike macOS, it has WSL, and you see it's evolving quickly unlike macOS, which feels dead. Also, given .NET and PowerShell run on Linux and macOS, they are a worthy investment. I only wish Chocolately had a vibrant community as Homebrew - it lags behind, and even for basic features, you have to cough up money.

Firefox now has artifact builds, so if you're not contributing to the C++ portions (the UI or whatever) it will just download build artifacts for you.

If you do want to tweak the native code it should just be ./mach boostrap + ./mach build, but it's entirely possible you'll have trouble with that.
It's logically impossible for them to have the hashes of the files without having had the files at some point. If they no longer have the files, you might just as well take their word for it as to the content of the files as take their word for it what the hashes of the files are.

After watching that video I find the whole Instagram phenomenon so bizarre.
Fun article, but it suffers from the usual abject lack of understanding of how markets work associated with this kind of critique.

The information one should take from this story is that watches on Alibaba are undervalued, or that the user-unfriendliness of Alibaba imposes a high per-transaction cost. By selling Alibaba stuff for 5x the original price, these businesses are communicating valuable market information; namely, that there's something wrong with Alibaba (could be accessibility/usability/trust/etc.) or that these companies provide a valuable service that may not be obvious (translation of descriptions to readable english, for example). If these companies took the "moral" (emphasis on scare quotes) approach of selling cheap watches at a smaller markup, this information would not be communicated and the world would be slower to respond.
For me it was underweight and drugs (albeit the prescription kind and from six years before.)
In March 2013 I was laid off from Research In Motion. It was my first full-time job. I got 10 weeks of severance (I'd been employed since January 2012), on top of the savings I had.

I was pretty shocked, so I took a few days of "vacation" to not think about anything work related. Then I started looking around for a new job, secured by the knowledge that I had money for living expenses for the near future. I started out selectively: looking for fun jobs that interested me. I took a part time job at a startup, partnered up on a business idea with some friends from the local Linux Users Group. Eventually I found a new full-time job overseas through a friend.

One book more than any other: The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

Why?

Darwin opens up the door of Deep Time when he explained his discovery. An appreciation of the immensity of time happens to be linked to explanations of how and why things are. Wolfe also deals with Deep Time but in the context of society.

What Gene Wolfe does is he creates books where you need to read between the lines, you need to create hypotheses to understand what's going on. I won't describe it further because it may lose some of the import, it's probably the most important fiction book written in the 20th century.

It's less of "blog" now, but older entries are a breadcrumb trail of the day-to-day grind of an indie Windows developer.
People love being locked in. Applying the keurig model to the juicing trend was a very solid business idea- it rocketed keurig to the top of all coffee makers, and juice fanatics make coffee fanatics look positively sane. I'm pretty cynical about it, but it is still a real and good thing. A half second of convenience makes you feel good and selecting, storing, washing and prepping produce is not trivial. A few extra clicks in one area of UI makes it a terrible design. The same thing translates into the real world, although at extreme cost (to the environment, primarily).

Negative press, overengineering, the smaller market group, and underdelivering convenience (the bags are just way too big compared to coffee) killed juicero. It was such a high-profile and brutal lambasting that it will be a scarlet letter for quite a while, but the core idea is solid enough that I wouldn't be surprised to see the idea re-emerge in 2-3 years.

I still can't get over how much people viscerally hate the idea. You'd think apple, google and microsoft had partnered to make a juice press because of how much juicero represented silicon valley-ness.
Man, I'm going to traverse this thing if I can. I wonder how long it would take to walk it (and boat somehow, don't think you could swim it). Probably not practical on foot, about two years of ten-hour days maybe, and that's in good weather.

I've heard that theory a number of times. I'm no expert in acoustics or eavesdropping, but I would assume that ultrasonic eavesdropping equipment would involve highly sensitive microphones, not powerful speakers.

So far I see everyone here tell you to give 50% or more to the CTO. Which is hardly surprising since you are on a website for technical people.

But even if I am a developer myself, I disagree.

There is a tendency on HN to consider the technical people in a company as the ones that contribute the most. In my opinion, that is often not the case.

In fact, someone even called you "the idea guy", as if all you did is having the idea.

I think that, as others have pointed out, the sensible approach is to split equity based on the value brought to the company. But value does not equal necessary effort, time spent or "tangible" output in the form of code.

While a CTO might spend a lot of time building "tangible" assets which are definitely important, that is not the only value brought to this company. There are assets other than code.

You went through the process and the risks of validating the product and bring in the first customers. Those are assets too and are what makes the business exist in the first place. Without those, all the code a technical person can produce is worthless.

So I would say you should consider the value this CTO will bring to the company and compare it to the value you already brought yourself and will bring in the future.

All in all, though I think that proposing anything from 50% up for the CTO like others are doing in this thread is not reasonable.

Also consider that with an even split, it will be hard to take a decision when you disagree with each other. Someone must be able to have a final say on each matter. Since I doubt you want that person to be the new one you will bring in, I would say that their share should be from 49% down.

Finally, it's not in your question, but do you need a technical founder? You might, so you are the only one that can answer this. But also consider that, since you have clients that will bring in revenue, you can just use that revenue to hire someone on a contract basis first and on a stable basis later, without slitting the equity.
OK, I'll admit I didn't get that far.

But that means the method was accurate ±8mm?

Still not ±4mm...

(Unless I don't understand the ± notation)
It isn't idiomatic. If you've already locked the shared_ptr, you should extract it's boxed value and pass that by reference directly. Passing a shared_ptr by reference has fairly niche applications and allows the callee to do things like reset the shared_ptr, extract a weak_ptr from it, etc.

That said, if you are in need of the latter use case, it certainly should be passed by reference. It's not just a reference count! Shared pointers in C++ are threadsafe so there's a fair bit more going on under the hood that makes copying it (more) expensive.
Don't feel bad, tutorials are for when you don't know how to start. If you have a clue how to approach the next step, having a go based on intuition is a superior strategy. Maybe you'll do something stupid, maybe not; either way you learn which means we all win in the long run.

Just to clarify, there’s no concentration of energy involved with the eclipse itself. The concentration involved is no different than setting a leaf on fire with a magnifying glass on a regular day.

The sun isn’t a garden hose. Putting something in front of it doesn’t make the edges more intense.
Kabir, awesome! Keep doing what you're doing!
It's not so much about the magnification as it is about the light-gathering surface. The human eye has a relatively small aperture; a professional camera lens has a huge aperture, and it focuses all the light from there onto the camera sensor.

Higher magnification actually makes it slightly safer, because the image of the sun ends up magnified and spread out over a larger part of the sensor. Low magnification means it all goes to one point.
Firefox does try to make it easy to build. However they're quite opinionated and want you to use a "bootstrap" script which downloads some stuff into ~/.mozbuild regardless of you potentially already having it.

It is however still very close to a clone & bootstrap & build process, at least on Linux and Mac - i.e. one of the better projects. (For comparison, I recently tried to build Facebook's Infer, and that was even worse than building OpenOffice back in the day.)
Stanislaw Lem, Golem XIV.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem_XIV

http://english.lem.pl/works/apocryphs/golem-xiv

„Golem XIV” is one of Lem's most far-fetched intellectual adventures: for the purpose of this book Lem constructs the character of a supercomputer of the future that infinitely overshadows human intelligence. Golem, whose history we follow from its birth until his inexplicable departure from the human world, not only mercilessly criticizes humanity, claims of our culture and delusions about allegedly refining mechanisms of evolution, but also creates a breathtaking vision of further development of artificial intelligence – beyond our cosmos and cognition available within its limits.

http://english.lem.pl/works/apocryphs/golem-xiv/67-lems-opin...

"Mine is also the thesis regarding the relationship between genetic code and various species in which individuals serve only as code's amplifiers - however Golem's opinion is somewhat exaggerated. This concept - that Richard Dawkins called "the selfishness of genes" - I published three years before him."

http://english.lem.pl/works/apocryphs/golem-xiv/69-a-look-in...

Instructions (for persons participating for the first time in conversations with GOLEM)

and relies on the less lucrative but essential supplies and infrastructure from elsewhere

As does rUK, with rWorld. As do most UK cities with rUK.
Similarly with farming; London _and rUK_ can (and do) fulfil a significant quantity of their demand from abroad; it is possible to fulfil more.

I do not belittle farming, but trading for food does not equal "extracting rents" as the OP you were responding to requested, and nor does farming constitute a huge industry rUK is somehow being defrauded of the profits for.

Almost none of the UK's electricity supply originates within London

Energy production is not a natural resource. The only "rUK" resource we input is Gas, but it's not clear how much of rUK can claim to be losing out here. Most of rUK would not be the natural "owners" of this resource, and - again - it is traded on the open market, so can be fulfilled from elsewhere.

Why would I be upset

To rephrase/reconsider: you seem to somehow confuse trade with rent extraction, unless you simply did not read the OP's point of contention you were contributing to.

If this were to be true, rUK would be one of the world's worst perpetuators of this form of wrong, given its greater dependency on rWorld in exactly the manners you describe.
Source? Last I heard from Moz, XUL was considered a maintenance burden that increasingly suffers from neglect. HTML now does a comparable job, is standardised, is widely used and needs to be implemented anyway.

Maintaining two interface languages doesn't make much sense in the long term.
So does that mean Mozilla don't use 2FA?
Halftone – Wikipedia
I'm a development team lead / senior engineer who's sometimes assuming the role of CTO for young companies. From my experience, the best way to approach this is:
* Express the work required in money (as you would with any contractor - determine the market value of the work involved)
* Multiply this value a few times (coefficient more or less is a subjective evaluation of the risks not succeeding)
* Calculate the possible profits after 1-2 years of running business (how much of that money you will be able or willing to pay out in dividends?)
* Equity share should be as big as to allow receiving the amount of money obtained in the second step

For example - let's assume that building your MVP and maintaining it for 6 months until you're able to cover maintenance and improvement costs, would cost you around 30 000 $. Then let's multiply it by 3 or 4 and get around 100 000 $. Let's say you're certain that you will be able to pay out 500 000 $ in dividends in the second year. That amounts to about 20% equity share.

Also, it would be very good to give cash as well. Depending on the amount of the equity share - 20-50% of the market value for the job involved.

Sitting on my shelf is

"XLT86 - 8080 to 8086 Assembly Language Translator, User Guide", dated 1982. (But not the version you can find online, which is September, '81. I'm not quite sure on the release, as the user guides didn't include a revision number).

Here's a quote:

> XLT86·is a Digital Research software product that aids in the translation of 8080 assembly language programs to equivalent 8086 programs.

...

> Unlike other 8086 trans-compilers, XLT86...

> The XLT86 trans-compiler is available for operation under CP/M and MP/M for the 8080, 8085, and Z80...

So, I would say Digital Research coined the term in '81, but their usage suggests that others in that circle would occasionally use the term, or have a passing familiarity with such a term.
