Your opinion is one shared by many on HN regarding forced updates, but the parent comment has made a proper effort to answer your questions and you resort to name calling.

I am all for freedom of speech but if you write it on a brick and throw it through my windows you're going to have a hard time getting me on your side.

Comments like these alienate people from what you're trying to accomplish.

Dammit moonmoon, that's not what you're supposed to howl at.
To counter lots of (possibly unfounded because too general and/or lack of actual experience) negativity here: the problems will mainly depend on the co-founders. Non-technical doesn't per se mean completely ignorant or stupid. If they are reasonable and smart, they recognize you are the one who knows the tech stuff and hence will let you take care of the technical side without much questions, let you experiment and go your own way, will value your input when it comes to decision-making on the software front, won't set insane deadlines, ...

Such people exist, I've worked with them, and that was all good. In the beginning it did sometimes take lengthy discussion why some features couldn't 'just' be implemnted but for the rest the main problem I had was getting into a 'me alone on an island and I'm the king' state leading to less self-critique and being stuck with old tools while better stuff is available. But nothing that cannot be fixed by keeping an open mind and reading around on the internet on the tech used.

Obviously if your co-founders don't quite fall in this category, yeah, running might still be the better option.

Speaking as a millennial, millennials as an age group have a lot to do with it. Have you actually communicated in writing with people of varying age groups? It's blatantly obvious to anyone with "millennial" / "Gen Y" (loosely: born after 1985) family or friends that emoji use is heavily driven by younger users.

Video games always have the additional move that the developer can't remove: "Turn The Game Off". If your game can't compete with that, you're going to have very "selective appeal".

Not that I need every game to be a maximally-empowering dopamine releaser to compete, but if you're going to present me with something that's actually bleaker and more draining than my own real life, you're not going to last long.

Other forms of art have their own additional ways of compensating for that sort of thing that I don't see being options in video games, although, even then I'd suggest the appeal is fairly selective. French movies in black and white about existential crises and the fundamental meaninglessness of life don't compete very well with $MARVEL_MOVIE at the summer box office.
You don't think we're being conditioned to be passive against each other and, by proxy, our government?

You don't think we're being conditioned to value the abstinence of violence for whatever reason regardless of claims of justification?

You don't think we're being conditioned to ignore the reasons people blow up and instead ask how they had the means to be able to do so?

You don't think we're being conditioned to complain about the way things are without thinking about the way things could, or even should, be?

The book should be taken at face value indeed.

Ask HN: How to Convert over 100 VHS tapes to digital
any recommendations on easy/cheap what to do this?
Even 5-10 years ago both our Sears and KMart stores in the area were very run-down, poorly lit, with really no upkeep at all. Both our family and someone else's we know got really screwed on new sets of tires from Sears Auto that were faulty and that they did not want to fix. The service was terrible.

Every now and then you could find an okay product at a decent price in KMart, but the writing has been on the wall for the longest time. Now both of these stores are gone from our area.

I can remember how different these places were when I was a kid/teen, though, and interesting to watch, as the person quoted in the article says a "slowest train-wreck" happen to what used to be popular brands (at least Sears, not sure if KMart really had the same status or not)
I see these possibilities:

* The tether organisation doesn't have an effective way to buy back tethers. They might not have the processes/infrastructure in place.

* The tether organisation doesn't have the USD in liquid enough form to do said purchasing. For example, it might be in frozen bank accounts or offshore and take many days to transfer.

* The backing USD doesn't exist entirely.

> Hiring engineers is a bit difficult since we are not making any revenue yet. The only option is to give equity, I suppose.

Give up equity to raise money to hire and scale.

Otherwise, raise money preselling the product to scale the company, but this likely chains you to customers that you may find later would be better with their own consultants.

And if this means you're not getting paid, 20% (or 50%) of 0 and $12k opportunity cost is $144k/year investment

Counterpoint: Some games are art, and are meant to make you feel something. These games are also important and/or have a place in the world.

I don't think that I would want to dump 200 hours into "that dragon cancer" but knowing that it exists and is as powerful as it is means something. Playing that game makes you feel something important that blasting aliens with laser pistols doesn't.

It means ground, as in the surface on which we live and build things on. 球 means ball or sphere. I wonder if that’s the reason why flat Earthers are rare in China and Japan - the very phrase ‘flat Earth’ is an oxymoron in these languages :)
Is this because of Fuschia? Maybe, but after Google released a phone with both a notch and a chin, I have absolutely no faith in their ability to succeed in bringing that OS to market.
It's also common for people to write pop stars like Lady Gaga off as no-talent hacks who are totally run by their handlers, which is of course nonsense.
Say I were a web developer looking to transfer into a lower level developer role. How easy would it be for me to get and pass an interview? I'm guessing it's going to be extremely difficult to prove I have the skills you're looking for.
That' true. But wherever I look, projects and people bought into this idea that if it's good enough for Facebook (or Google in the case of Angular) then going with react+redux is a future-proof idea.
Personally I check email 5.6 hours per day, Slack 6 hours, Instagram 3 hours, HN 4 hours, Reddit 4.5 hours, Twitter 6 hours, and I still manage to work 14 hours per day.
> Submoons may be rare, but not because they don't exist in our solar system

Sure, "submoons are rare because they're rare in our solar system" isn't a proof. (It's a hypothesis.) But the observation is evidence. In the absence of other evidence, it defines the status quo.

I've recently played Dark Souls 3 and it's depressing, as is Bloodborne; both games (spoilers etc) feel kinda meaningless in the end. The premise of Dark Souls 3 is that there's a cycle of light (fire) and dark, and the objective - not just for the individual instalments, but for the world as a whole - is to link the fire, so that the age of fire lasts for a little longer - but the other side, the age of dark, is inevitable (and optionally you can cause it). The world is old, every civilization has fallen and/or decayed, and there doesn't seem to be any way for it to get back to normal given how everyone's either undead or dying.

Bloodborne is a bit less hopeless, in that it feels like there's a pretty normal world outside of the game area. However, it's depressing in all three endings; spoilers again, the first ending is probably the least depressing one, where after defeating the final boss, you just kneel down in front of your guide / master (so to speak), accept your fate, and choose to forget all of the events. You just wake up in the morning as if nothing happened. In the second one, you fight and defeat your master, buuut an eldritch monstrosity that masterminded the repeating cycle comes in and eats you, turning you into the replacement of the guide. The final ending is where you defeat the eldritch monstrosity and are reborn yourself as an eldritch monstrosity, again (probably?) repeating the cycle.

No real happy endings there. It's all just bleak and meaningless.
We have no proof $2B were issued.

It's possible that $2M were issued, and the rest don't even exist (or rather they are still controlled by the tether organisation).
How about a perspective of "Well, I guess it could be worse"?
> then who is the victim?

A lot of the times the drugs being sold are painkillers, opioids and such. And this doesn't happen in a vacuum where no one else is harmed. Alcohol is legal, and there's lots of victims involving its use. We're just willing to tolerate it and we tried prohibition and it didn't work. And then some yahoos decided to try Prohibition II, like drugs are really different when alcohol is a drug itself.

The whole reason drugs are illegal is because of all the social ills having 20% of the population addicted to drugs in the late 19th century caused. And it's all been knee-jerk reactions and staying the course no matter how insane or counter-productive the results are ever since.
Such people do indeed exist, but a strong signal that you're actually dealing with reasonable, non technical co founders is when they give good equity to the "technical" founder.

Based on other comments, it looks like OP got 20% (even unclear if it's documented), while the other 2 share the remaining 80%. This is a strong clue that these guys have no respect for the technical guy/gal. They will see him/her as a code monkey that can be replaced asap by a bunch of guys in India or in Eastern Europe.
iTunes reached a peak around 8 versions ago. Every change since seems to have degraded something, hidden something else and made something take 4 more clicks than it used to. Each release gets rid of something decent. The desktop app seems like a case study in poor UX design. Current iOS thinks album art on the lock screen should need a magnifying glass and such a small space for title that every track I have scrolls. It's shit. It didn't used to be. It never reached great.

Over on Android Google play can't stream reliably unless 5 bars of signal, but can't even give any buffer settings. In the real world it's simply shit and unusable unless you like a random length silence at least every 5 mins. Other apps figured out buffering a decade ago.

I don't think it got better past Winamp.
"This isn't supposed to be Sutton and Barto"

It reads quite a lot like a synopsis of Section I of Sutton and Barto, down to the ordering of the section headings. Not that the writing isn't clear and concise, but it reads more like a cheat sheet than like serious exposition.

Sutton and Barto available below [0] for comparison. The google drive link comes from Sutton's website [1] so I think it's kosher from a copyright perspective.

> If I share a public roadmap, and then I don't deliver, people will be disappointed.

I agree. Your public roadmap should be conservative, or more oriented towards the type of impact you will be making. The intent of a roadmap is to communicate your focus so that folks outside know the general theme. You then have something to reference in conversations later when someone asks for something that doesn't fit with the theme.

Personally I have found any type of feature and expectation discussion easier in person or on a call. I expect feedback over the internet to be poorly phrased or hostile. Expectations break down if you have any type of sales team who are prepared to offer features to close deals.

It looks like you make a database management app for the Mac. If I was creating a theme-based roadmap I might choose a theme like "SQL Console Improvements". You can explain that your focus is on that area of the product, but that your focus may change in the future. When you get close to being certain a feature within the theme will be developed then publish that information. You can operate multiple themes depending on resources.

This approach can also work for feedback. You can let users know that the next theme on deck is "Optimization Tools" ask for feedback on how users want to improve their SQL queries. Then when you start executing on the theme you have collected feedback that can be incorporated. The flow makes users feel involved in the process. Actually summarizing the feedback in public can be a useful community exercise for expectation setting when everyone thinks they have the most important idea.
Interesting, but most of those exist also in english, many almost exactly.

Paper - A Newspaper Company, Fiberous sheets, Thin covering, to title or register an object, etc.

Monitor - same. Both monitor as in observe/supervise, and the object, also a common title of newspapers.

Fr

Drum - Musical drum, storage barrel, to attract attention, to repeat, a fast beat, a stretched diaphram and its effect, throb.

Magazine - Publication, Bullet cartridge recepticle. ____ Review is common magazine title.

Seems roughly equal honestly. All languages borrow abstractions from simple words as complexity grows.
I've been the sole developer of several startups over the years and still am for some. Some suggestions:

- If there's no unequal investment in the startup (like for example someone putting in a lot of money or more time compared to others) ownership should be split equally amongst the founders. Working remotely is a nonsense argument for getting less equity, not giving everyone the same will most likely end up in conflicts later on.

- Make sure you have your equity on paper and come up with a vesting scheme so no co-founder can walk out with 33% after a couple of months while the others have to carry on for years. (for example unlock 4% every month of work so that you only earned the complete amount after putting in at least 2 years)

- Becoming profitable and/or receiving investments can take a while, does every team member have the runway to work on this long enough to not need any income from it?

- You can't just leave like with a regular job since the future of the startup depends on what you do, keep this in mind. If you are not 100% sure you want to spend the next couple of years on this tell the co-founders beforehand that you will build the MVP and decide once that's done if you want to continue or not. A vesting scheme will make sure you at least get something out of it.

- If you complete the MVP and don't want to continue you can consider selling the MVP to your co-founders at a predefined rate in exchange for your shares. If you do this for a good price and terms and they have the funds for it this might be best for all parties since you are no longer connected to each others as shareholders, they don't have to involve you in new decisions and you don't have to free up time in the future for a company you are no longer involved in otherwise.

- You might want to wait with formalizing the shareholder deeds until a investment comes into play (this all depends on where to company is located and what the laws are of course). Do get stuff signed on paper beforehand though!

- Don't undervalue yourself, in the end YOU are building it, idea's alone are worth nothing.

- Startups are rough, prepare for a lot of fights, failure and lost free time and decide for yourself if you think this startup is worth spending a couple of years of your life on. Keep in mind that most startups fail, my personal experience is that this usually has to do with the dedication of the team doing it.

Good luck!
I actually came to complain about the silly filler content I had to scroll past that felt like ads were inserted? I just closed the page after I lost the article in the memes.
I tried to find a CV for him, to no avail. I am pretty unimpressed with the tone of his comments (you fools just don't understand!).
The premise seems to miss the point that people generally don't want to invest time and money into things that make them sad or frustrated. The appeal of games is exactly that they reward players for their efforts --that the obstacles can be overcome.
Art piece games that exist to convey some kind of an experience that isn't fun are fine. The reward is just having the experience, like a book or tv show. I'm just not sure they should be considered games.
Easy: pay someone. Your local photography store (any big city will have one, but good luck finding it) can do it.

Cheap: your local big city library probably has the equipment, just bring your tapes in, sit in what looks like a private reading room for a few hours (bring books) and slowly convert them. Their equipment is probably good quality.

Mid cheap: you can buy devices that attach to your existing VCR on one side, and have a computer (often USB) connection on the other. There is plenty of software to record. Quality varies depend on your VCR (clean the heads), and the quality of the interface.
Careful you don’t cut yourself on that edge.

Actually I have a lot of respect for this comment. I think I’ll reference it. It’s the type of independent thinking that I miss, back before we had to be PC just to not be banned.
The worst of the flatness trend is fortunately already over.
