You're arguing against something I didn't make a point of. I never said it was the investor's fault that the founder signs a bad term sheet. Investors will generally pursue the best terms they can get, founders should do the same.

My obvious point is that founders and employees should conspire whenever possible - acting in their shared interest - to eliminate investor-favorable liquidity preferences as a common part of start-up term sheets.

I held off on the standing desk for a long time. When I saw the IKea Idasen, I knew they had solved the wobble problem. The desk is awesome and more people should consider it. I also specifically broke out the part numbers and only bought the base. I put a Bamboo top on it.

My monitor does also wobble a bit with the cheap vesa mount I have (it's also a ultra-wide). I'm still researching a proper arm to mount.

I uh, I guess I'll bite. How? If anything, I think it's funny to imagine it as an interviewing exercise to suss out people with delusions of grandeur who have lived a life free of real-world consequences.

They basically had a failed FEMA campsite without water or electricity, or effectively, shelter. It absolutely blows my mind and shakes my understanding of humanity to think that people got sucked into that or that there would be folks lining up to get suckered again, or that people somehow think it was ever achievable based on the timeline and current human time-travel technology.

While I understand Billy's "charm" and even how to use it at times, it's amazing how enough of it will convince people to believe absolutely any delusional fantasy. Partying with a bunch of Insta influencers glued to their phone sounds like hell, anyway. Who doesn't want to hang out with the grown adult proudly bragging about urinating on all of the bedding?

I'd like to work for a Prop Trading Firm but I'd really like to stay working remotely.

Does anyone have ideas on how to get in with a Prop Trading Firm given my experience is with my own money, my own strategies and I've never worked at a finance company before?

Venture Deals by Jason Mendelson and Brad Feld is a good overview. If you want to get more technical, the NVCA publishes a list of their own "standard" documents, which go into depth on some of the standard and non-standard provisions and what they mean, but it's not quite as user friendly.
I always wonder how one arrives at such conclusions with this kind of confidence. Are you reading and essentially consolidating a lot of your acquired knowledge? Is this the tenor observant people are agreeing upon at conferences? Are you in some kind of overview position?

I am merely asking because from my perspective I feel I could never conclude such things and I have no idea how it happens?

Programming language development is not standard software development.

PL research is a discipline with no really feasible empirical methods for robust and replicable evaluation of programming language ideas. Using self-application is a test of internal coherence -- if your new language is not good at writing a compiler, then maybe it isn't such a good idea.

Self-application is a well-known scientific methodology. Would you trust a physical theory that predicted the impossibility of physicists?
Aye.. There are some bugs left to be ironed out in PyPy. But many times you just need it to work and the correctness of what you're calculating isn't too critical. Then it is pretty awesome.

Also going to chime in and say I've got one with monitor arm (only one monitor mind) and bookshelf speakers (also not a lot of weight). No wobble after 2 years or so.

When assembling I did feel that the actual attachment of the surface/board was a bit cheap. They used plastic positive tension pokey... things. Not sure what you call those. I suspect if you have to disassemble / reassemble it a few times they may wear out and the top may wobble independently of the base.

I can't tell what you're saying here. You say I'm focusing too narrowly on the 1x preference, but then go on to say you disagree with preferences at all. I asked: how does a VC deal with no contractual investor protection work? You could be giving up $X in exchange for contractual rights to only $X/5 in a sale that occurred the next day. That's not a moral problem, it's a math problem, right?
Who cares if they never update? Chances are it isn't some critical vulnerability that gets them infected with the garbage software and malware you end up having to deal with anyway.

If you go this route, be forewarned: not all SSD enclosures work. Do a bit of research on Raspberry forums before making any purchases. Also, Pi 2/3/B+ sadly don't support USB 3.0 devices, so much for backwards compatibility. I bought a handful of cheap SSDs and USB 3.0 enclosures for this exact purpose, but still haven't got any of them to boot, even though I did research and supposedly bought several from Sabrent that should work. In retrospect I should have looked closer, Sabrent makes a bunch of very similarly named drives with slightly different specs, some of which apparently aren't compatible. I found a forum comment suggesting to try the enclosure with USB 2.0 cables, but that avenue has been fruitless thus far. I will probably have to order some USB 2.0 enclosures.
That seems really bizarre. I'm not sure that phone was even expensive enough to be able to fit a separate WiFi chip in its BOM.

You are correct that this is an issue when writing JavaScript without semicolons, but it's also an issue if you place an IIFE (immediately invoked function expression) directly after a function, even if you're using semicolons:

function hasSemicolons() {
console.log('hello world');
}

(function() {
console.log('this is broken, JS will call hasSemicolons()');
})()

In the ImmortalDB example, since it's a standalone <script> tag this is just extra defensive against a minifier that would join the tag with other tags, but just wanted to call out that there's a reason to include the leading semicolon in front of an IIFE whether or not you write your JavaScript with semicolons.

Well, selling the company for the post-money valuation will give the investors their $X back. The thing that the liquidation preference works is preventing certain types of control fraud.

For example, if the founders take $1M in funding on a $2M post-money valuation, then end up losing $1M to excessive payroll costs to insiders and sell the remnants of the company for the pre-money valuation, the investors are out half their money without a liquidation preference. In short, the liquidation preference means that any losses come out of founder equity first, rather than the new cash infused in the business. This is important because the founders control the company and can choose to take courses of action that impoverish the company at their personal benefit.

Ok, reading the responses to my comment, it seems I should have been more explicit.

1. I do understand that cost of living varies. Still, I will insist that $500/month is too low. Even a single $2000 computer amortized over 24 months is going to eat nearly 1/5 of your revenue. Remember, your housing probably isn't free, you do have to plan for retirement, you do have to go to the dentist from time to time. Many people make unrealistic assumptions here.

2. If you start with $500 as your goal, you will end up reaching $500. You will have something that you have to support and maintain. If you designed it as a $500 dollar business, there is no good way forward, and you are stuck.

I tend to avoid the word "never" and, among other things, I do a lot of work travel that certainly involves working past 5:30 (in whatever timezone). I'm not opposed to checking in now and then on weekends or evenings. But I've always taken my earned PTO (which has generally been pretty good for the US) over many decades. I've taken multiple month-long trips. And I don't feel pressure to work into the night on anything like a regular basis.
Companies like to own the code they rely on. The more they rely on it, the less they want anyone else to have control over it.

Also Rust being a relatively new and cool language developers just can't resist building something new with it.
First Thoughts on the New Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+
The last 2 rounds I was involved in moved the option pool into the post-money. In one case, the initial price was initally discussed and negotiated with the expectation of a post-money option pool. In the other, there was a term sheet with a post-money option pool so we asked the other term sheets to be rewritten using a post-money option pool (they changed their prices accordingly).

I'll note that in every case where someone has asked for X pre-money, they have asked for less than X in the post-money. That's why I consider that term to be dirty - it's purely a means of obscuring the real valuation, and has nothing to do with employee ownership.

I'd really like to automate some of the windowshades in my house. My two use cases are opening bedroom shades at sunrise, and closing living-room shades at times during the day when direct sun would heat up the room too much.

Every time I've looked into it, there's a wide gap between DIY projects that are labors of love (i.e., probably not usable or repairable by anyone but the creator), or else high-end, proprietary "solutions" that have only "Get A Quote Now" buttons on their websites.

I downloaded Squeak and played around with it for a few weeks last year. Worked perfectly out of the box.[0] It's very cool! The closest we can get to seeing the original Smalltalk environment in action... I felt like I grokked OOP for the first time; this is super-OOP. I love the windowing and windows menus, a cloud of icons around the window. And absolutely everything can be easily customized. A lot of things about the environment seem unique, and mostly the things that are familiar (like the column view of directories & objects) apparently were invented at Xerox PARC! It's very inspiring seeing how things can be done differently. I highly recommend the experience.

ClonOS 19.01-RELEASE – A FreeBSD-Based Virtualization Platform
I'm glad to announce the first ClonOS (19.01) release

ClonOS is a turnkey Open Source platform based on FreeBSD and the CBSD framework. ClonOS offers a complete web UI for easily controlling, deploying and managing FreeBSD jails containers and Bhyve/Xen hypervisor virtual environments.

ClonOS is currently the only platform available which allow both Xen and Bhyve hypervisor to coexist on the same host. Being a FreeBSD base platform, ClonOS ability to create and manage jails allows you to run FreeBSD applications without losing performance.

Features:

easy management via web UI interface
live Bhyve migration [coming soon, roadmap]
Bhyve management (create, delete VM)
Xen management (create, delete VM) [coming soon, roadmap]
connection to the "physical" guest console via VNC from the browser or directly
Real time system monitoring
access to load statistics through SQLite3 and beanstalkd
support for ZFS features (cloning, snapshots)
import/export of virtual environments
public repository with virtual machine templates
puppet-based helpers for configuring popular services

I know that there are a huge number of similar solutions ( Proxmox, Triton, OpenStack, OpenNebula, cloudstack, oVirt, KVM + libvirt + virt-manager ..) but I’m interested in creating it on a completely alternative technology stack.

Any feedback and comments are welcome!
