While the First Amendment (in the US) doesn't apply to private companies, which is what you're thinking of, this doesn't mean GoDaddy isn't restricting free speech, in a general concept manner.

GoDaddy is legally able to do what they're doing, but people can still find what they're doing detestable, and there's an argument to be made that while the First Amendment doesn't currently protect people from actions like this, that our laws really should.

The street corner is no longer the place speech is conveyed. Speech is now conveyed primarily via online platforms, which are pretty much all corporate owned. The First Amendment is no longer significantly empowered to do its job.
I'm almost kinda slightly entirely with you on this.

I believe in freedom of speech, and genuinely believe that even positions I consider utterly reprehensible deserve the same liberties as everybody else, but I try to avoid helping those people with it.

It's why I won't use Tor, I couldn't offer a node knowing what could potentially be going through it, so I don't.

Even as a big ole' corporation GoDaddy are absolutely entitled to hold some beliefs (regardless of why, for the cynics)

Everything in a car has to be certified for safety. Infotainment systems integrate deeply with cars - they consume and expose a lot of information that isn't guaranteed to be expressed over standard protocols, and most of them aren't even in consistent sizes or shapes.

You're an integrator. Your co-founder is either a visionary, or he's lazy, or maybe both. I don't have enough info to know for sure.

At any rate, each of you handling separate sides of what is basically two different businesses is a mistake. Sure it does a nice job in giving each of you autonomy, but it's terrible for maximizing each of your unique skill sets.

This game can be played in a group, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendo_(game)

> once the guesser thinks they know what the function does, the players switch roles and the person who came up with function specifies some inputs in order to test whether the guesser is able to produce the correct outputs.

In Zendo when the guesser offers the wrong rule, the 'master' must tell them an (input,output) pair where the guess disagrees with the rule the master had in mind. Then play continues.

Does anyone knows a very good CD for k8s?

I found that only bitbucket deployments is a good one in terms of simplicity of managing deployments (just like Heroku). Most vendors forces me to use their crappy CI solution for doing CD. Why they want me to migrate to your (very limited) build system? I can pay you for a fancy dashboard, but please, allow me to use whatever i need to build my software. There are many options on the market for CI and you just can't build them for everybody. But good CD is a way to go and easier to manage. Just give me a hook for registering for a new build (say docker image versions) and help me manage this stuff.
I have tried Spinnakle, but it is too fragile for me - there are no simple way to install it (k8s even easier!) and UI is too bad for a small project.

Good CD is still missing in k8s ecosystem.

Dude, you act like some American dictator called you tube and told them to take the video down. What are you on about? This is another post from here and I think it sums it up:

I think the word we are looking for is “majority”. if the majority of the world thinks that gun ownership like the US has is dangerous (for those of you insulated from said rest of the world, this is the case), and the appropriate way to deal with it is to sensor the content, then you’re damn right a global site that provides that content should sensor it! i honestly don’t give a damn about your constitution; it doesn’t protect the majority of people in the world.

You tube markets to a global audience. You can always start your own video site free from censorship.
Sounds like a good strategy. Are you profitable at this point?

This thread is extremely refreshing. The number of times I've heard "Kubernetes is sooo simple!!!" here and elsewhere is super frustrating.

"You just take your app and put it in a container, then put that container in a pod, which is in a replica set with some other apps in their own containers, which is on a node in a cluster in a datacenter somewhere! Oh and the replica set is amongst a deployment. And if you want to talk to the outside world you'll need a sidecar with ngnix which is an app in a container in your pod. Or your deployment. But it's different than your app. Time to get kubectl and minikube installed..." People act like all these concepts are taught in beginner CS classes.

Wear OS currently accounts for about 18% of the wearable market share. There's also a WearOS session scheduled for I/O so they're still interested. The major hurdle has been the SoC. WearOS devices are still using the antiquated 28nm Snapdragon 2100 SoC which was created in 2014.

Of course it does. The fundamental and inalienable individual right is self defence.
It sounds like the core problem is that you're unhappy about how the division of roles was made. Is it that your co-founder isn't contributing as much as you to the company or that he doesn't respect your and others contributions? or both?

You say each of you was responsible for one side of the business, did you agree on this split together or did it just happen? when was it apparent that you weren't happy with how the roles were split?

If you could go back in time, would you rather both of you contributed on technical work? Do you feel it's unnecessary to have your co-founder dedicated to sales? Are the main problems the company is facing technical, sales or something else?
> I don't think that 2000-year-old Buddhism had all the answers

Buddha while alive only gave answers to the level of the questions people at that time were able to bring to him.

No one from modern times asked Buddha about gravity, or electromagnetism, or calculus, or about Bernoulli's principle, nor is he alive in modern times to inform us of what we ourselves can't recognize right in front of ourselves.

However, if, hypothetically, someone were to bring questions about black holes or dark matter to Gautama Buddha, then I feel very confident based on my understanding of philosophy that his reply would be to the effect or meaning of "if you can tell me or point out exactly what X from your question is, concretely, then I will be able to tell you whether it exists or not in reality, by placing that matter upon the formula that operates the world, and checking the result".

> would even be useful to a Westerner (I do feel that we are mostly exposed to "deteriorated" forms of Buddhism, but maybe it's for the better)

What is left is not helpful to us ordinary people for discerning or learning Buddha's teaching. We lost his truth through the process of it being handed down. His teaching is not meditation, four noble truths, eightfold path, nor precepts. It's not that you go to sleep, abandon yourself, stop suffering, and die forever. He taught people what exists, and how it exists, because he knew that was the way to enlighten people. Nevertheless he didn't explain about the steps to achieving enlightenment. First, falsehood must disappear (you must be free of lies). That means you have to open your eyes to the truth. Secondly, you have to be able to see 'what is'. You have to know where right and wrong exist: facts. Third, you need conscience and courage. You wouldn't go to people and teach them through terrible treatment without conscience and courage. Fourth, there must be endless love in yourself to go teach people 'what is' repeatedly. Through the process, you burn up the karma in your consciousness.
Anyone who teaches enlightenment can be achieved without agony and love is telling a lie.
I am a huge fan of G&L basses. I recently sold a fretless L1000 that was one of the best basses I have ever played because I stopped playing bass and started focusing on guitar. Haven't gotten a chance to play a G&L guitar yet.

Depending on the specific guitar I'd also look into swapping the pickups. That usually gives the best sound improvement but does nothing for the playability. Luckily, the playability of a lot of cheap guitars today is very, very good.

I agree that bone is a terrible material. It's only still used for historic reasons, I think. Guitar players are a notoriously superstitious bunch and often times dont necessarily want the best when they can instead have what we thought was the best in the 70s.
They've definitely been a lot less common. Two months ago the first few dozen comments were all botnets saying they received the money.
I assume that if there was a partnership agreement in place you'd have mentioned it, which means you are in a general partnership. I've been in this position – twice! I'm sorry to tell you: if you don't have a signed agreement that specifies each of your obligations to the business, then you have very little recourse except to offer to buy him out, at whatever terms he'll accept. You can't fire him, you can't dilute his equity, you can't take the team and start over without him. You can't even really quit; you'll still be liable for half the partnership's debts. The only threat you can make is to dissolve the partnership, discontinuing the business and splitting its assets and liabilities. Which, given that you're almost out of cash, may be your best next step anyway.
In my career, I'd say the correlation is an inverse proportion. The more useful / needed I was the less I was paid and the other way around... It's curious. I'll have to put some thought into why this might be.

Can you please stop using HN for ideological battle? It's not what this site is for, and worse, destroys what it is for.

I don't necessarily disagree with your points but it doesn't matter. It's a medium-is-the-message thing: when the medium is ideological rhetoric, the message is the death of this forum. What the ideology actually is is secondary.

Counterfactual reasoning is a subset of abstract reasoning which is a subset of abstract thinking more generally. Children are capable of abstract thinking (e.g. pretend play) and even abstract reasoning (e.g. basic conditional reasoning) very early on.

No. Children like to copy their parents, and want to learn about what they do. If a six year old wanted to play frisbee, he probably would have asked to play frisbee. At the very least he would've made his boredom clear pretty quickly. Yes, he wanted attention from his dad, but best of all was being able to learn about dad's grown up stuff by doing something they both enjoyed.

I agree with you entirely from the point of view of someone reading the thesis in order to learn something. The article, however, is squarely aimed at the person writing the thesis for the purpose of gaining a degree.

I've been through this. I failed my PhD first time round and was nearly refused a viva voce (oral defence) because my thesis was "too clear" and the material was "too obvious." I'd written it for the supposed eventual hypothetical reader, and not for the people who were going to examine me to see if the material was worth a PhD. Fortunately my internal examiner insisted on the viva, and on the basis of that I was granted permission to re-write and re-submit.

Second time round there was very little additional material, but the emphasis in the writing was changed so it was no longer "here's how to understand this" but was more "look at the amazing results I've proved."

It went through "on the nod."

So what you say is true with regards what you want to see in a thesis, but if you want to get the degree, the emphasis needs to be different.

Unfortunate, but true.

Added in edit: Tomorrow I'll re-read and probably add a comment to include the above main point, that I'm giving advice on how to write to get your degree, not how to write to be clear for the reader. Thanks for the feedback - very helpful.
I totally agree. There's a PR cover up going on.
On a tangent: If you want to understand what Robert Silvers and the New York Review of Books was/is about, and a compelling vision of what an intellectual publication can be, read the posthumous tributes to him by the writers (including some names you will recognize):

Well as lawyers we know why gold isn’t a security according to case law, and that logic definitely doesn’t apply to Ethereum/Ether.

The DAO was a decentralized ecosystem and yet the SEC issued an opinion. So what in your mind distinguishes Ether from the DAO tokens and makes Ether deserve to be treated like gold or another commodity like oil?
Well, take heart that just being from Stanford isn't a guarantee. If anything the middle-of-the-road job you have now is more of an ironclad guarantee than any VC-funded startup. Plus, you got to do what you wanted after college instead of flailing around and getting burned out.

On the other hand, a Stanford degree is a signal, and will still serve you well for quite a few years yet. My name-brand diploma is decades old but I'm pretty sure it still gets me second looks and interviews more often than I'd care to admit.

You are right, there are many solutions and the existing offerings are often usable however organizations have difficulty with the implementation.

Two majors problems around proactively managing an organization's spend culture:

1) Entropy: the pain around the problem is not acute and is a slow dissent into disorder. The problem gets harder to solve as organizations grow.

2) Chosen solutions are not adopted by the team and data around company spending is lost.

Solutions need to fit current workflow or have a dedicated champion with authority to insure adoption.

GoDaddy took the site down because of posts explicitly calling for violence against migrants - to the extent of "a massacre or two" - which violated its ToS.

It's kind of hard to take complaints about free speech being infringed seriously when the complainants (qua the website operators, not the commenters here on HN) are proposing to limit not only the speech of others, but their freedom of movement and indeed their freedom to go on living. While this particular episode is a commercial rather than a constitutional question, I'm inclined to agree with Justice Robert H Jackson's well-known dictum that 'the Constitution is not a suicide pact.'

You said "The real tension is that if you go out and focus on signing paid customers instead of growing at all cost (literally maxing out your credit cards), you'll be less attractive to many VCs.".

I think what @tptacek is saying is that you absolutely CAN go out and focus on signing paid customers instead of growing at all costs. You can 100% start/run your business that way for as long as you want. However, the moment you want to seek venture capital, you have to sell a different story. You can't sell the same linear growth story that got you to this point. That's the only difference between seeking VC and not seeking VC.

Your original quote implied that all businesses have to be started or be run in a particular way far before raising venture money, but that's not the case.
