I'm not in anywhere near as stressful a situation (just a team leader), but what can help is making sure that each thing that needs to be done is in a JIRA ticket (or sticky note, or whatever you use) with a good description.

Then it has the potential to be assigned to anyone in your team: cofounder or otherwise.

It also means it is recorded, and you can have meetings to discuss priorities. Chuck it in the backlog or the "next month" bucket or get rid of it entirely, or do it right now.

Anything that slips through because you decided it was a lower priority you have to let it go. It might come back to bite you but you only have X resources.
> though drinking the same water you bathe in was the weirdest part

Surely you mean the water that enters the house via plumbing, is used for both bathing and drinking from via a faucet. As opposed to drinking bath water.

Is the weirdness of that because they don't drink tap water in the Dominican?
Homework Therapists’ Job: Help Solve Math Problems, and Emotional Ones
What’s interesting about this is the difficulty of testing of someone is lying. Race isn’t purely genetic, so how do you call someone who is 40% Asian, 20% African, 40% European ancestry who looks “black” from identifying as African American?

What’s the threshold?

I really wanted the Rachel Dolezal to get into a court case somehow just to see what the legal ruling is.

If someone who is 99.99% ashkenazi and 0.01% African truly believes she is black, who is a Harvard admissions person to contract them?

Logically, this follows to a pretty weird place. With trends in census showing increase in multiracial populations, I hope it becomes a moot point before society goes full retard with “racial impurity” tests.

Combine this approach with facial recognition and reporting to a website, and bad behavior could get you banned for years from all over. With an AR layer your "color" could visible to anyone that can see your face.

I agree 100%. I purchased bidets as Christmas presents for many family members this past year after a visit to South Korea (where they were the norm in the hotels I visited). I've even found myself telling my neighbors about the advantages of bidets over cocktails (which is kind of weird). I wouldn't want to live without one, and I spread the word.
Lend-lease was the last of the neutrality gimmicks, and was the first one that really applied to the Soviets--mere weeks before the US entered the war proper and lend-lease became the vehicle for general military and logistical aid to all Allies.

I think more importantly Rust has to clearly demonstrate that it really is better for projects that use C currently. I think the failure of wider adoption of D is a good case study.
I saw that episode and if I remember correctly, there was basically a sentimental reason they didn't close that -1 million location. I think a lot of businesses suffer from similar decisions -- you value something that isn't reflected in the balance sheet.

Seeing that in someone else's business makes it so much easier to appreciate how foolish it is and to be more self-aware about those types of flaws in your own management decisions. The hardest one is probably people... managers often keep certain people around because they like the person, even though the person is terrible at their job.
Five Facebook Alternatives for Those Who Are Looking to Switch
Why should the minority suffer the consequences of death, so the majority can keep being "entertained"?

Also, if you find shooting guns entertaining, you can keep doing that even in the countries with the strictest gun control laws. I lived in Australia post-1996 and still shot guns on a number of occasions.

Speaking from experience, when Facebook didn’t do anything message scanning with messenger (allowed any person to send any message to anyone else) it was a tool for massive amounts of extreme personal abuse, blackmail, etc.
I like it, but, how do you grow an idea? I would love to have a formula for that (I know it is impossible, maybe?) but what I see is: putting attention to people and things (which requires to decide where will you put your attention), read, discuss, "produce" and get feedback... What else am I missing?
No I don’t, because that never happened. I do remember millions of soviet citizens dying from famine though, and millions more dying from state sponsored killing. I don’t remember any famines taking place in developed free markets during that period. However, I have a pretty clear memory of the two class system that developed in all of the socialist nations that existed in the 20th century. One of the starving poor, and another of the rich oligarchs.
I understand. My question is whether it's the Javascript code that uses CPU cycles or the DOM manipulations that cause the browser to recalculate the layout and do other stuff all the time? If it's the browser then it doesn't matter whether you use Javascript or webasm.
During world war 2, fan favorite companies like Mercedez Benz were building tanks for the Nazis. If there is a war today don’t you think the government will seize everything and we will all be working for them? This is different in some ways because Google is likely being paid for this but I don’t think they can just refuse nor do I think they should be able to, frankly. That’s not how national security works.

And just because employees at Google refuse, employees in one of the big Chinese firms won’t be able to. If our government does not have this tech then someone else will.

We live in this fantasy, like people aren’t dying everyday from war in so many places around the world. We are not immune to that.

Edit: to all the folks down voting me it’s a good idea to get a different perspective sometimes.
You state:

> you shouldn't be able to walk around with a rocket launcher or semi-automatic weapon

Generally speaking, this statement speaks to a lack of information regarding what semi-automatic is or what it means. Most firearms sold today are semi-automatic. Banning semi-automatic firearms bans the majority of firearms.

That you later go on to state "You don't need automatic weapons to defend..." implies to me that you've conflated automatic and semi-automatic. You cannot conflate those two terms in good faith and claim to be having a reasonable and informed debate.

You also assert that nobody's saying anything about taking guns away, but Hillary Clinton (and other politicians) repeatedly called for Australian-style gun buybacks, which were mandatory, which are the same as confiscation. I'll broadly agree that it isn't the popular sentiment, but suggesting that nobody's calling for it is disingenuous at the very least.

Moreover, from your link, the following statements are at odds with your assertion that the second amendment isn't under attack.

> Weapons of war have no place in our communities. Our nation requires a comprehensive assault weapons ban

> Limiting high-powered weapons to the military has worked elsewhere to eliminate the opportunity for mass shootings

> These magazines are devastating and need to be banned.

Finally, you make a very common mistake when you assert "you can't yell 'fire' in a movie theater". That has been covered here by me, by others, and by prominent first amendment attorneys all over the map, but despite the common misconception, there's no law or regulation that prohibits you from yelling fire in a movie theater.

Nobody ever believes that, so please enjoy some citations:

If it's not clear, the issue isn't about the keywords, which are clearly an improvement compared to ES5. The issue is about doing OOP in JS. Much has already been written about OOP vs functional/procedural so I'm not going to rehash that. The OP's point is that you don't have to write OOP code in JS and that he believes JS code is cleaner without it. I think it's a good point to bring up because many developers have difficultly imagining non-OOP code and bring in patterns from C++/C#/Java because it's what they know.
I see your point: "Asians are getting discriminated not just by SAT scores, but even if their extra-curriculum activities were high...."

Facebook takes steps and decides to close its data doors immediately.

> if there is a war today

Wow, we really are insulated from our military today, aren’t we? Yes, the US government is still at war in Afghanistan and with ISIS.
The big missing piece is roles. No service uses a root access key directly. Instead, there's a webserver role with access to a relevant secrets group but no access to data warehouse secrets, for example.

Access keys can be provisioned and downloaded straight onto the box from the service. Sure, a compromise is bad, but only exposes the secrets that would be available on the pwned box regardless.
What does anti military even mean? I can get anti war, but don't you want government has the power to stop terrorist, and military is needed for that.
I'm paranoid about privacy. I would like Facebook to adopt GDPR everywhere. However, I also want Facebook to continue to thrive economically. Benefits of a thriving Facebook are clear, from the open compute project to tons of open source software, and the applications (FB, Instagram, WhatsApp) themselves.

In that light, it's sufficient for me if Facebook follows the law of the land properly. In the US, they needn't adhere to GDPR, but do need to abide by their deal with the FTC. Abiding by that deal would have prevented the CA debacle.

So there - I enjoy free services, software, etc. from Facebook, but just ask that they stay ethical

Haha, probably cocaine as well. Some public restrooms seem designed to minimize flat surfaces, private access to clean water, and secluded locations, while others (like in some night clubs) have randomly placed shelves with hard, easily wipeable surfaces, etc.
> Those who are forced to say or believe something will instead resist the idea.

Curious wording. The vast majority of even modern human history seems to provide an incredible amount of contradictory evidence—at least if you’ll grant that “forced” can also mean socialized into a certain cultural and ideological narrative from birth. Sure, there are notable moments when resistance forms quietly, and perhaps even makes its way into the public sphere. However, resistance does not appear to me to be a default human trait. That’s usually only found in a smaller portion of what is typically non-boat-rocking humanity—those who hope to convince their fellow citizens to join them. The majority of humans appear to rarely make it habit to question anything at all.

This idea of justifying military buildup by it's beneficial trickle down into civilian technology always struck me as very odd. It seems like an absurdly inefficient and roundabout way of funding R&D. If the government wants to invest in research they should just invest in research.
Regardless of whether you agree with the current interpretation of the second ammendment or not, it's hard to deny that those currently wishing to re-interpret it are suggesting an application that will impose new, more strict limits, on ordinary citizens and their rights to bear arms.

So the clearance is needed for the footrests found on wheelchairs, and if you make the stall big enough, you don't have to provide the floor gaps. It's interesting that the ADA regulations have become an important factor in design starting in the 1990s, yet I remember that public restrooms have had those floor gaps since much earlier than that. I wonder if the logic went like this: floor gaps have existed since at least the 1960s --> people with wheelchairs found the gaps useful to maneuver in the restroom --> the ADA codified this into a regulation in the 1990s.

To save everyone from having to wade through stack exchange, here is the ultimate link[1]:

"604.8.1.4 Toe Clearance

The front partition and at least one side partition shall provide a toe clearance of 9 inches (230 mm) minimum above the finish floor and 6 inches (150 mm) deep minimum beyond the compartment-side face of the partition, exclusive of partition support members.

EXCEPTION: Toe clearance at the front partition is not required in a compartment greater than 62 inches (1575 mm) deep with a wall-hung water closet or 65 inches (1650 mm) deep with a floor-mounted water closet."

If you sit quietly and think for a few minutes, where is the pressure coming from?

Is it the constant demands from colleagues? Is it the responsibility? Is it coming from yourself?

Figuring out what sits uneasy with you will give you a starting point to take action.

Learning to listen to your gut and then using it to produce a positive change, but not just for you - for your whole team.

The good thing here is that you're the CEO and that means you are in control.

You've gone through nearly the first 2 years on adrenaline, hard work and probably a good dose of hype. That is probably wearing off now as you transition into the next stage. That means you need the room to take a breath. Your team won't say it but they probably need it too.

You have probably put a lot of things on the back-burner while you were getting started.

For sustained success you need to re-prioritise mental and physical health above all else.

For this to be sustainable, it's time to optimise for happiness.
They should do dynamic pricing throughout the day and then there would be a market for users to use smart devices to schedule load, when to charge batteries vs when to discharge batteries, etc.
yes but the weapon systems may be sold or transferred to some countries like Israel/Saudi Arabia eventually.. how would you view their use on protesters or civilians by them or would their be international laws that would prevent such use ?
The focus should be on news transparency. NY Times, Wash Post, the major networks basically censored how Candidate Clinton was helping foreigners displace Americans through H1-B Visa abuse. Nothing Trump is accused of doing is nearly as bad as Clinton wanting to displace American STEM workers with foreigners. Trump on the other hand, complained about H1-B Visa abuse as in the case of Disney of FL replacing 250 American STEM workers with cheaper labor from India.

Indeed Obama called Clinton, "The Senator from Punjab [India]". Google on that term, and you'll find these articles.

How is it possible that the Democratic Party is so anti-American that they would nominate Clinton as their candidate?

Obama met with the anti-Semite Farrakhan in 2005 before ever running for President, yet this key piece of information was censored as well.

MSM criticized Trump, but basically censored these critical pieces of information about Clinton and Obama.

Trump never met with anti-Semites nor was he against American STEM workers.
I don't know the specifics of what Harvard's history of discrimination is. Let's say that Harvard historically blocked 1000 Asian students from an education. What they should do is open space for 1000 Asian students and stack rank all the students who apply for these slots so the ones who best match the criteria can come in.

I realize I've practically described affirmative action. But there's varying ways to implement this system that avoids certain complaints. Let's say Harvard always admits 5000 students a year, they could add a bonus pool of 1000 students set aside for this. On the other hand if they're concerned about overwhelming their faculty they could admit 4000 students through normal means and 1000 from the special set aside.

One of the objections to this is it's unfair to the 4000 or 5000 students who will now receive a lesser education because of some wrongs that they weren't responsible for.

I'd like to propose it's equally unfair that students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds because of explicit decisions that these institutions made are denied a similar education. In this case should our institutions take no action to avoid upsetting the status quo and maintain a "color blind" ideal, or should they take active actions to rectify historic wrongs that continue to create inequality in the current day?
Every company has a hierarchy, formal or informal. Further, that hierarchy almost always gets more formal as the company gets bigger. Based on that, the question is when, not if. The when comes down to: could you get more done with more than one person whose chief responsibility is to manage as opposed to work? If yes, add a second boss, if no then hold off.

One thing companies do that sort of works is to strip managers of certain formal powers, so that they have to lead without hanging vacation time, expense approvals, etc. over someone's head. Big tech companies seem to do this quite a bit, less so in other industries where regional/geographic heads are king.

A great deal has been written on this, but the reality is that in very few companies does it make sense to "innovate" on hierarchy. And even then, isn't it easier for everyone to understand the hierarchy if it is formal? As opposed to "carefully survey the room and see if the CEO can be challenged on this or not" and "realize that this is a CTO-only decision so run it by them first to protect yourself so as to avoid what happened last time you made an architecture decision on your own" lessons popping up all over the place.
OK, so "root" wasn't really the right term. I get an X credential so I can be an X, and nobody needs to worry that I also got enough to be any part of a Y. Thanks.

I've yet to meet any of these mythical post racial liberals.

And your own sources disprove your claim. Black women earn more than white women. At best you're showing that sexism matters more than racism. But it's only sexism when it happens to women, just like it's only racism when it happens to blacks.

At any rate, anyone who claims race trumps class has not been paying attention: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/03/23/5210833...

Unless of course you think the US has suddenly become racist against middle aged white men? Instead of the simpler explanation that race was a good proxy for class from 1940 to 1980 and has completely broken down since, but people whose livelihoods depend on it peddle it like economists paddle trickle down economics.

There is a large exception for anything with a camera. Everything to do with the chipsets or sensors is under NDA and inaccessible unless you want to produce thousands of devices. I would love to be able to play with (say) a half-decent 2 year old camera chipset+sensor, which would apparently cost just a few $, but it's a no go.

For instance, the Raspberry Pi camera is entirely handled by closed-source blobs on the CPU and GPU. The best you can do is get cheap USB webcams from China for $20-30, but they're power hungry and you can't run them from a microcontroller.
