There is no good outcome here.

You clearly don't have mutual respect for the CEO (not that you should or shouldn't necessarily) and in less than half a year find yourself in pretty fundamental conflict. In what amounts to a founder level role at a startup, if you aren't on the same page about almost everything, then it will blow up.

My suggestion is to find someone to take over your role and go do something else. The VR space requires too much grinding and grit right now to succeed while not having a great working relationship between founders/C-Level people.
Wow. What I can suggest is that perhaps you have misperceived the purpose and nature of equity.

When your venture was 0 months old, it needed a CEO to get it funding. Even if he played golf the whole time and lent only his name to the venture while you beat the streets to scare that funding up, he delivered on his job.

A CEO's job for a startup is not to be CMO or COO. It's to scare up money, and that money done got scared up. And now you want to move the goalposts.

Even if he's still out playing golf and you're still putting in 20-hour days, that doesn't mean a 50/50 split is unfair. It's what you agreed to, on the off chance you'd be anywhere near as successful as you are today.

Hate the game if you must, but your failure to understand the game has probably put you on the outs with your cofounder, and that has destroyed a lot of the value in the company, both yours and his. The whole purpose of a 50/50 split is to avoid this petty squabbling.

The correct advice is thus: Quit rocking the boat, roll back your hours to 8 or less (the company is not "yours" and never was), limp toward your first half-decent exit (either the company itself or just you), and focus on a new solo startup where you can be the CEO and CTO.
Exactly. The term Total Employee Compensation might be something worth looking up.

Of course, if you can just use gig workers...
> your apparent argument that anyone criticising capitalism can only be a Soviet-era state-supporting "communist"

That would be a highly creative way of summarising my post.

My problem with the paper was that it started what was supposed to be a historical research with a slogan-like claim that a particular ideology propagated it (literally the first sentence).

As in, there was no misunderstanding, no misinterpretation, or lack of evidence, but evil dudes came and lied to us all.

I countered that I witnessed firsthand how the competing ideology was "propagating" the same "myth", which, simply put, makes the author's assertion a sheer nonsense.
Good intentions and problematic incentives.

Medical conditions give you certain protections for good reason -- otherwise employers would just fire employees with cancer to keep insurance rates down.

99/100 these things are good, but it takes a couple of jerks to make life miserable for all.
I'm a parent of a disabled child, and I'm afraid I think your attitude actually contributes to the problem - people will naturally be scared to offend if parents think and react as harshly as you describe.

Try to put yourself in other parents' shoes - don't forget that you weren't always the parent of a disabled child, and it's possible you would have felt just as awkward as them.

Yes, people sometimes say something that you find offensive or demeaning, but they mosty likely didn't mean it to come across like that. Instead of reacting harshly, try to subtely educate them - for example, if someone said "Oh, she's Down's Syndrome", I might respond with "yes, she has Down's Syndrome", with a subtle emphasis on the has - my daughter has Down's Syndrome, but she is not Down's Syndrome itself. Or if someone said "does she have a mild case of it?", I might respond by explaining more about the various issues and degrees of those.

The point is, most people are ignorant of a lot of disabilities and surrounding problems - that doesn't make them bad people. And - when given the opportunity - most people want to learn more. I see it as "doing my bit" to help educate people, rather than reacting harshly and turning them off for good.

It's certainly more relevant than "vacation", since it's time spent doing little because nobody would pay them for work (and even if they would, there was nothing they could feasibly buy to improve their meagre living standards), not a paid leisure break to spend ones salary on personal enjoyment.
When I learned to drive, I was taught to slow down when you see that you’re coming up on lower visibility areas of the road. This could be a turn in the road, a part of the road that reduces slope or a darker part of the road. I still do practice this safe precaution. And while the technology is in its infancy, drivers in an autonomous car should be just as attentive as a driver in any other car.
My advice after a year without tech: rewild yourself
I think I see where you're coming from--I just think it's a little oversimplifying.

Hillary Clinton was openly calling for a "no fly zone" in an area where Russian planes were flying. A "no fly zone" is a public declaration that you will shoot down planes that you don't think should be there. That could have started WW3, which is not in Russians' interests.

But that's a bit of a stretch. Suppose she had openly advocated for war with Russia. Would it still be immoral for Russia to deceptively access and share with Wikileaks e-mails from her campaign and party to shift support away from her?

Or are there truly no circumstances where one can morally interfere with another country's election?
So, Craigslist no longer allows Americans to use personals because of FOSTA.

What's to keep Americans from going a foreign based service/server for their hookup needs? It wouldn't necessarily have to be Darknet, right?
If the president vetoes this bill it won't be over the CLOUD act, it will be because it doesn't fund his insane border wall.
> including the driver who was too busy looking at his phone to intervene

I've yet to get any information on one thing though, are safety drivers operating under the assumption that the car works at SAE2 or at SAE3? Because if it's the latter, the driver has no cause to keep looking at their phone. If it's the former, the car should have a deadman's switch to ensure the driver stay alert.

An other thing that is not clear is whether they were looking at their phone or at instrumentation (e.g. telemetry or the like).
When the president is in Putin's pocket, these things happen without repercussions.

Nobody "paid them for work" in the first place. They weren't wage laborers.
While I completely agree with your assessment, I feel compelled to point out that LIDAR is an active sensing method and so ambient illuminance actually makes things harder for the sensors.

I really wanna make excuses for the Uber vehicle here because self driving vehicles will be awesome, but in this particular case it just failed. :(
The US used to have these businesses called drive-in movies. You could pack your car full of friends and snacks, then pick a spot in a grass field where you had a picnic while watching a movie. The value of the real-estate these businesses sat on far exceeded the return of operating the drive-in, so drive-ins no longer exists within an hour drive of most people. The US is poorer for no longer having these staples of 1950's and 1960's culture.

Similarly, Toys-r-Us was part of the US culture and has been destroyed for a few million in profit because it made economic sense. Hardware stores and book stores will also disappear from our culture, is this the society we want? People band together to support opera and symphonies, I would rather save drive-ins and hardware stores since they are more important in almost everyone's lives.
Exactly. But it is ridiculous, IMO, Google does not boot the content like Alex Jones but instead is paying the infrastructure cost as not possible to monetize.

It is a great comparison to printing pamphlets. Google is basically paying the bills to print alt-right pamphlets and to me that is wrong.
A computer can have access to sensory information beyond anything that a human can have.
A computer can process that information hundreds or thousands of times faster than a human can.
Therefore the computer should be held to a much higher standard than a human driver in a scenario like this.
You original statement is that they are "no better". If the automated solution is just as good as humans with regard to safety, then there is no trade-off being made.

Given how many things we do that make us unsafe drivers (being distracted by music/passengers/anger/other, driving while tired or otherwise inattentive, ...) I don't see it being long before we can claim automated cars are as safe as those driven by humans, especially in some conditions. I can't say we are there yet, but things are getting pretty good.

I don't understand why people call it unsafe because there are more than zero accidents. By the same measure humans should not be allowed to drive either. Even when people have slightly more reasonable expectations they compare the automation to the best drivers, not any average or bad driver.

Perhaps there are conditions where the automated systems are still going to be worse than the average human, perhaps night conditions like this are included in that. The solution there is to make the automation refuse to continue (refuse to start if not yet en-route, ask the user to take over if so, find a safe place to park if the user can't or doesn't take over when requested) in conditions where that might be an issue. This still allows automation in the majority of driving conditions.
With the passing of the CLOUD act, moving your server or email outside the US likely won't help. See https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/cloud-act-dangerous-ex...
Most, but not all of the illumination. Especially between street lights. That first video is from a section of the road where the accident did not happen. You have to go past the stop light where the first video ends to get to the section where the accident happened (second video).

I understand LIDAR should have handled it, and visible spectrum may not be much different with and without moon lighting. But I would like to see a similar conditions comparison to see exactly how bad the video is compared to actual lighting conditions.

One video pointed out a black splotch over the pedestrian. If you pause and the video you can easily see it. A very unusual artifact to say the least.

EDIT: see masklinn reply -- the accident occured before the stoplight in the much more lighted area, not later area where the news crew was filming and was commented on in the second video. It was near the stoplight with the parking deck in the background rather than only the long spaced overhead lights. Incredibly misleading video from the dashcam. Maybe good to know for defense of the true conditions, but it probably won't make that much difference. look at the slideshow

It's good for EEU because they now have jobs.

Just look at countries that don't. Like the Baltics. Or CIS. They have to go where the jobs are, en masse.
Not saying he looks terrible for his age. Just the fact that his face looks way more wrinkled and the biggest factor seems to be weight loss, as not so many years have passed from one photo to another. Also, he doesn't work in the restaurant industry for a long time and enjoys what seems to be a very comfortable life doing nice TV shows.

Yeah, and I would assume Nightly users would be more savvy about opting out in preferences if that's their wish.
That's not very absurd if you let the printing press stick ads all over your pamphlets, getting them revenue. A better comparison is expecting a printing press to want to associate themselves and their ads with controversial content.
Uber, like many companies, is filled with people who may put their own interests or even the very-near-term corporate interests over the long term interests of the company.

Given other missteps by Uber's management (which led to a business impact), I think we should not count on them being purely rational actors.
Because Google is a private company is why it is NOT censorship.
Why is it "needlessly complex"? Aren't all corporations "manipulated from the top"?

Customers need to prevent that. Aggregators are free to present a Disney or AOL view of the internet, and customers that like that view are happy. Customers that don’t like that view need to make it clear that they would patronize a different company if given the chance.
It's conveniently acknowledged, because you can always blame others and it's impossible to take actions because it happens in international waters.

No, it doesn’t.
Not only does Japan have a homeownership rate similar to the US, but a pretty significant fraction of those owners own single family detached homes, which make up the bulk of Japanese suburbs. The main difference from the US is the different zoning regime which doesn't force homeowners to pay for a minimum quota of land in order to buy a house, and suburban houses on 1000 square foot lots are not uncommon.
LIDAR is about the self-driving technology. The illumination of the road is about the operator being able to react quickly. Agreed about the impact of the moon relative to streetlights, but OP does have a good point simply in regards to proactively addressing any pushback.
> The only test that gives you certainty also carries a risk of miscarriage

Not true any more[1]. See my other comment in this thread about the Harmony/NIPT test (it's not available on the NHS tho, but is widely available at a cost of around £400).

The problem is with productivity is that its that counter-intuitively, it might only be a measure of efficiency in absolute terms.

For example consider a family that owns a plantation powered by slave labour. If you look at their gdp/work its close to infinity. Then you go to the plantation and measure the productivity ratio of this as an economy and it would be very low.

So it depends a lot who captures the value of work and how you measure that as well. The more capital you have and the more you can extract wealth without working the more productive you will be.
I think it was extremely irresponsible of the officers on the scene to imply that there was "nothing that could be done" or a lack of fault before a real investigation had even started!
I think a professional mediator may help resolve this situation. Everyone should feel they are fairly compensated. From a technical person’s perspetive they are doing all the work. A business person often looks at a chief technical person as a key component of the overall business model. In my opinion, the most important question is will both of you do whatever is necessary to make this startup successful? A healthy cofounder relationship is essential to this. Could you have done this startup all by yourself? Remember half of a billion dollar company is better than a 100% of a broken startup. I would also encourage you to look at several Harvard business cases where there was tension between a CTO and non technical CEO. Many times a technical CEO would be moved to a CTO role. Once they sold that company, investors would be confident in them being the CEO a next time. In short, I would suggest thinking of this from a lot of perspectives before jumping to a decision. In general, a healthy cofounder relationship is critical to a startup and please resolve this now rather than later. Best of luck!

Yes you do. You blame both. Both have an independent duty to not sell defective products. MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co., 217 N.Y. 382, 111 N.E. 1050 (1916).
Low level, yes. But I happen to like it as an alternative to jquery.
I agree 100% with everything in the article, but to play devils advocate:

A common thread that appears on HN is the nostalgia laden post about how the internet used to be "smaller" and more "personal", with forums and chat rooms ruling the landscape instead of social media. This article mentions that large internet companies will be able to afford litigation, but medium sized companies will not. Small communities, however, are able to be moderated by a small team of humans.

The reason why reddit/4chan/twitter/craigslist/youtube are forced into sweeping censorship due to FOSTA/SESTA is because they have user bases too massive to comb through without a clumsy algorithm. They will become the network broadcast TV; small sites will become the internet reaction to that, what they were always supposed to be.

Obviously, SESTA/FOSTA is the dumbest way to build a smaller internet, hurts more user than it helps on massive platforms, and spreads unlawful activity to even smaller, darker corners of the internet. But grasping for silver linings here.

"A. is unemployed. For food, cellphone minutes, and things for her daughter, she turns to a new, older man she’s dating, who she says “treats me well sometimes.” He’s married, and she feels bad when his wife calls to chew her out. “I’m dating this married guy because I get whatever I want,” she says. Meanwhile, she’s also dating a “poor guy, because he’s the love of my life.”

She’s looking for a job as a housekeeper—a profession she likes because sometimes, her employers feed her. “Other jobs you have to bring your own food,” she said, “which is not gonna happen because sometimes we have just sleeping food, and in the morning there’s no food.”

She and the older man, the blesser, don’t use condoms, and she hasn’t told him that she’s HIV positive. Mostly, she’s just hoping to start making her own money soon. “Life is not good for someone who is not employed,” she said. “You sleep, watch TV, sleep, watch TV.”

“Sometimes,” she added, “I don’t live my life.”

At this, her eyes welled up with tears. A nurse standing nearby told me to stop my line of questioning."

Sometimes, I read articles like these, and I wonder if people are really happier now than they were during hunter-gatherer times. By every objective metric, their conditions have improved. They have more food, better shelter, access to medicine, and even luxuries like TV. But somehow, their spiritual pain seems so much greater.
Abuse in a brothel involves an idiot, a prostitute and a lot of other people (possibly including bouncers), while abuse of a street walker involves only an idiot, a prostitute and a lonely place. Guess what's easier to perpetrate, regardless of legality.

I can never understand how can Reddit's subs, such as girlsgonewild, not require proof that the participants are indeed adults who are not being exploited by others.

On the other hand it might be better a better deal for a number of people to perform webcam "modeling" instead of being constantly exploited as a sex slave.

I'll probably get downvotes for this, but the Republican leadership is uninterested in facts. They are only interested in their agenda, and if facts get in the way, they will ignore them. It got a lot worse when Newt Gingrich took the reigns in Congress in the 90's. Since Obama was elected, it's gone into hyperdrive. They fucking hated that man.
Just to quantify this side of the argument, street lighting is by design 50-1000x brighter than the moon, depending on the kind of street. For example the intersection of two major roads with pedestrians present is supposed to be lighted to about 30 lux, and a full moon is .1 lux.

I'd like to be wrong, but I suspect that outside of people who are already in the labour movement, nobody will be talking about this next week let alone the next election. How much of a role did SDS play at the last election, when that was already known about?

It's been ""known"" for years that Special Branch helped murder people in Northern Ireland, and outside the republican community and the small subset of mainland "left" that pays attention, it makes no difference.

Ohhhh yeah. Go watch some of the videos on yt. Their brutally awkwardly hilarious.
1. Look at the playbook from an agnostic position instead. The reason the media gave candidate Trump the press was because, just like candidate Obama, sold eyeballs; Trump more so because he got both sides mad. Recall the puff pieces and the discussion of Michelle Obama's fantastic arms, that is nothing but puff and she moved the papers, so they covered the candidate more; to Hilary's detriment.

2. You need to think about the emails as compromised material and a failure to secure information. If you are an IT person that circumvents security protocols that then end up with trade secrets being exposed, would you be in trouble. The reason this was covered in the press was that it was classified information on an unsecured server.

4. I shake my head at this, Obama for America was doing the exact same thing in previous elections and no one batted an eye. Now that the people who were okay see that detrimental effects could happen there is concern. The simple thing to do would be to delete / minimize the information on your account.

Just remember, the media is horrible at their job; you have people who do not have the time to dig into a story, are influenced by their editors to drop stories if they attack a major sponsor, and then write stories that are stacked with grammatical mistakes.
