Pardon my ignorance but I'm unable to find much about this story... and the links you posted are hard to piece together with this narrative.

Not even doubting it, just wondering if there's more of a source that's laid out (work/timeline/etc)? It's supremely interesting and should probably be more well known if it's not already.
I don't share the experience of this author. I don't often encounter trolls. What I encounter instead is intense differences of opinion, difficult to reconcile, and a lack of respect and manners not because the people at the keyboards are trolls, but because of the psychology of arguing anonymously with an unknown and imagined "enemy".

I don't believe "traditional gatekeepers" is a good solution to the intensity and the chaos.. I think the right solution is just time. Social norms need time to adjust, on many fronts. We are in a period of upheaval, but as Jimmy Eat World says "it just takes some time, little girl, you're in the middle of the ride, everything, everything will be just fine..."
>I get to sell whatever we have created, code wise, and get the dough for it.

Many, if not all of whom you pitch your product for and are interested to buy it would ask you to work for them. Even if that doesn't happen, get prepared to handle lot of support calls; so factor that into the price.

>Anything I should do first, legally wise?

Invoice from your company that they are selling to you, for some token amount. Perhaps a legal binding agreement should help as well. Get advice from a proper legal counsel.
It makes me curious what Facebook means specifically by 'privacy'. Do they say it with absolutely no irony?

I don't think the argument had anything to do with isolation. Your reply sounds stereotypical. Stay-at-home parents - and similarly, home-schooled children - usually have a richer and more vibrant community than schooled children and the average 9-5 working parent.

I've met hundreds, and it always strikes me as a more ideal life, because it's steeped in strong community.

Of course there are the isolation exceptions that make headlines in news media.
The problem is that you cannot get customers without software.

So every software STARTS as software without customers.

I assume that the market exists since this should be the reason for the project.

No code can be replicated easily. This is a myth spread by non programmers.

Software patents are useless since the Alice case. I.e. you cannot really patent software anymore.

Since I am not sure about the current state of the project I cannot give advice, but I would try and start the business actions asap. I.e. just continue with the original plan.
Without meaning to quibble with the numbers in the article, they point out that the bottom 50% of income has gone up $8,000, while the top 1% has gone up $800,000, which is indeed a 100x difference in absolute numbers. But on a relative basis, the bottom 50% of earners' incomes have gone up 42%, and the top 1% have gone up ~250%. Still a large difference, but not nearly as extreme as 100x.

Is there merit to analyzing these numbers on an absolute vs. relative scale, and/or is that beside the point? Does it miss the point if analysis like this doesn't also look at the cost/standard of living in those time periods too? E.g. if a particular standard of living that cost $19k in 1970 (manageable in the bottom 50%) now costs $21k, that's a great boon, but if it now costs $30k, that's probably a bad sign.

My dad was career army. He was born in the 1920s and fought in WW2. He was a high school drop out who taught ROTC at a college as one of his duty assignments.

It actually got him out of fighting in the front lines of the Korean conflict. He was the only guy in the battalion with all the necessary military schools. His bags were packed. He was supposed to ship out to Korea the next day when he got the call.

My ex was also career army. He was a high school graduate taking college classes while enlisted to try to stay competitive.

My favourite example of galactic algorithms is the most efficient way to multiply two numbers. As the Wikipedia page[1] states:

An example of a galactic algorithm is the fastest known
way to multiply two numbers,[2] which is based on a
1729-dimensional Fourier transform. This means it will
not reach its stated efficiency until the numbers have
at least 21729 digits

Thanks for the response. I've avoided influxdb because it drops data. Bar and tick data needs to be ACID or at least very close to ACID.

InfluxDB is great for server usage stats though.
If the co-founder is taking any code, data, or customers to the next venture, then it seems fair the other co-founder should get something out of the new venture.

If the co-founder is taking just knowledge, best-practices, know-how, and life experience, then the other co-founder does not have any legal basis to expect anything.
Code is not an asset. Code is a liability. Nobody wants to purchase a liability.

Code is inflexible. Code has bugs and vulnerabilities and patent infringements and licensing issues. Code needs lots of maintenance.

The value is in the people who know the code. That's you. If you sell the code, you have to go along with it.

Well, that's not strictly true. Doing things that don't scale (a prime target for startups) tends to include things you are just pretending is software, but you actually do by hand.

Melbourne airport is the one that instantly popped in to my mind as it's the airport I've spent most time in.

And yeah, there are a couple of noticeably lower ceilings in there.

But, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that tests have shown people become much more agitated in crowded places with regular (is it 8' / 2400mm?) ceilings. I can't imagine that scenario would make me feel at ease.

No. This discussion is about algorithmic complexity, typically counting comparisons. And of course, it ignores constants. If we're counting page accesses, we care very much about the constants.

And furthermore, a "multi-level hash table" is a tree, except an unordered one. What a useless beast!
Yes, thanks, I understand the technical difference. What I'm saying is that from a user perspective, many people don't care, or don't care very much. Otherwise they wouldn't be using SMS, telephones, or email.

If Signal wants to be broadly successful, they have to be as good from the perspective of the broad base of users.
At risk of losing some people by stating some loose observations and findings with faux-confidence:

Dense networks of human relations tend to lead to those humans creating specific network topologies in which liberal values tend to emerge. In places where the network is sparsed (relative to elsewhere), it is here we find reduced empathy for distant others, mistrust, populism, higher social distance between any two random nodes overall, and also bastions of socially conservative thought.

My growing belief is that most social conservativism is network damage to the social fabric. But if that sounds slippery, don't worry: there is no need to purge it, as reducing the average path length in the network will see that happen on its own. Pluralistic values and greater ability to form consensus arises in spaces where we re-weave the social fabric into the sorts of topologies that cities tend to permute through on their own.

Be very skeptical due to my lack of citing sources, but I share the above in earnest with this comment left in haste <3

EDIT: to be clear, I believe there is also some "illness" in the progressive left as well, due to their social distance from certain groups as well. The network is sick. A healed network will be some place in between, at a place we can all live with :)
Building an airport is a huge and costly undertaking — so much so that it represents more than just a building. The airport will be the first thing people see when arriving in a place, and the last thing they see when they leave. It’s a landmark. It tries to reflect the way the city sees itself, and how it wants to portray itself to the rest of the world.

It’s important to build something that gives you an experience. There are very few places left that put effort into architecture to make you feel something, and an airport project is big enough to make it worth it. And there really is a sense of wonder in the act of flying itself.

There are plenty of smaller airports that focus on being functional, and most of them feel like little more than glorified bus stations.

And if nothing else, a nice airport makes people feel good about flying, so they do it more often. It is a business at the end of the day.

a) Numeral Systems (e.g. ternary) are just trees, and specific numerals are just paths from root to leaf.

b) A 6-digit numeral roughly corresponds to a tree of length 6.

c) Base_10 corresponds to a tree with 10 possible children for each node.

d) e is the most efficient multiplier when trying to achieve compound growth in the fewest iterations of multiplication.

> Also, why does Euler's constant appear all over the place?

e is special because e^x is its own derivative. It also acts as a "bridge" between addition and multiplication. It often appears where growth or trees are involved.

+1 that the code is, unfortunately, most likely worthless.

My company has one chief competitor.

If that competitor went out of business and offered me their source code, I'm unlikely to pay for it. Code tends to be highly coupled to the specific assumptions, structures, workflows, architecture, and environment it was designed for, unless the team has gone out of their way to make it reusable. Most often, it would be easier to rebuild the same functionality from scratch than integrate someone else's code into your product.

What is valuable are the more generalizable and often intangible assets my competitor has accrued:

1. Its relationships with potential clients.
2. The lessons they've learned in building the business so we might avoid them.
3. Their employees.

Do you have any of the above to offer to companies tackling similar problems?

That said, isolated parts of a codebase can be useful, if it's easy to reuse and solves an extremely challenging problem and has required a large amount of investment to develop and mature. If such a part of your codebase exists, you could try finding a buyer for that.
I’ll save your time by telling a story from close buddies who do real sales (not exchange-exchange, but offline trading from hedged volumes). For few months there is basically zero volume in trades, one tiny deal a week and a bunch of no-payment competitor fakes. Nobody’s buying or selling right now, except for 0.01 “investors” who aren’t worth all the clicking.

Last year was pretty active; solid volumes were sold at -6% for cash, now it just floats around the market price.

My relationship to the internet and to writing, in a nutshell.

It's quite long. I don't know if I will manage to read the whole thing. I'm less impaired than I used to be and I'm not sure how much I want to revisit what that feels like. It still feels plenty awful now, even with how much progress I've made.

I probably could work at the right job these days. But I will never be fully able bodied.

When you can't do what you want, you do what you can, even if you don't really like it. We all need an occupation, so to speak.
I was a summer intern at the UK company (Perihelion) doing the Atari-based Transputer machines. The word there was that because Atari had invested in the UK company (?) the Atari machine was essential to include as the front-end, even though it didn't really fit the UK designers' idea of what a good front-end machine would be... (nothing against the Atari design, just that its quirks/shortcuts didn't match up with the Transputer cluster backend 'vision').
It's a gray area IMO, similar to, say, a bus driver whose bus is stolen. The employee has to maintain some reasonable security approaches and the company should as well.

If the employee takes good care, then the company should replace it if there's a loss.

My company has CCTVs, guards, digital and analog door locks, but a MBP is still more expensive than a gold ingot, and my house is still a little more secure.

The comparison doesn't make sense to you, because you value privacy highly. It makes plenty of sense to people who don't.

People do literally compare them when deciding what group messaging app to use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21746863

For people like that, end-to-end cryptographic security is at best a nice-to-have. And I'd guess that's circa 90% of people.

Signal's true value comes when lots of people are using it. I never bother with secure email, because almost nobody I know has it set up. But I use Signal for the great bulk of my texting, because most of my friends are on it. If Signal wants that to be more and more true, they have to compete with the other tools people use for group communication.

No, it's not. Under the Federal Reserve Act (specifically, 12 U.S.C. § 225A) there is actually a triple mandate, as monetary policy is to aim to acheive “maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.”

Inflation control (stable prices) is the second listed.

I have worked on high-end telescope controls and imaging systems.

For some types of astronomy --- especially larger fields -- heavily increased use of LEO may reduce the effective hours of observation by 4 hours a night by spoiling most exposures, while creating some impact at other hours. This is more than a 33% reduction in throughput.

Even with a smaller satellite population, there's been losses of valuable data. Two images in an early sequence of SN1987A had a (amazing improbable) perfect satellite streak right down the middle.

Or there's this past APOD https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1910/M31Before_Scherer_4298... where we see the effect of the current satellite population (and a few planes with the ~10 parallel lines from upper right to lower left) on a big stack of images of Andromeda. Zooming in makes it obvious there are many more trails than leap out -- including a few neat tumbling objects's with periodic brightness changes (not the plane strobes).

What's tripling the number of satellites going to do?

I am concerned about increasing satellite counts for a few reasons (including the potential debris problems) I don't think it should preclude progress, but existing and future stakeholders (astronomers, people who enjoy dark skies, current/future users of LEO) should be considered.

Real implementations of B-Trees (i.e. B+Trees) don't preserve the traditional guarantee about nodes being half full. However, space utilization is still a big advantage.

You can't do efficient retail deletes with hash indexes in the presence of duplicates because it isn't possible to append a unique-ifier (e.g. table TID) to the key, for exactly the same reason as it isn't generally possible to support multi-column indexes. In the case of Postgres hash indexes, it doesn't matter as much because VACUUM doesn't currently do retail deletions in any case. Postgres B-Tree indexes should support retail deletion at some point in the future, but that hasn't happened yet.

Also, deleting whole B-Tree pages (removing them from the tree entirely) can be thought of (and implemented) as an operation that is symmetric to page splits. Page deletion is especially complicated at the best of times, because it's particularly hard to reason about race conditions (Postgres has many layers of indirection to get this to work). I can't imagine anything that would work as well, but with hash indexes.
