> Them raising money to pay you just kills their chance at ever being successful

> there's no way they can build a company when someone not involved owns a huge stake.

So what? That sounds like their problem, not his.

> But I'm 99% confident you won't get anything out of this, so it's best to just walk away.

Possibly. But is that is the case, why not just keep the 40%? He's got nothing to loose. So in that case, there is no need to give in to someone else being unreasonable.
It’s interesting how different the perspectives are between actual athletes and some people who have just thought about the issues.
It's likely such an order would include a deadline for compliance and a cost for noncompliance after that. I suspect that it would happen faster than you think.

Furthermore, companies like Facebook have actually made a point to deeply integrate otherwise disparate products (Instagram), solely to later claim it'd be "too hard" to spin them off if the court orders them to.

The simple answer is to continue to fine them until they accomplish the task: If a company goes bankrupt trying to comply with the court, perhaps they shouldn't have violated the law so flagrantly in the first place.

I think people are too hesitant to admit that companies that violate the law should be eligible for the "death penalty". It's absolutely fine for a very bad company to explode and die once brought to court.
Well, a spinner can be added even into non-SPA applications. So I don’t see how that is an argument for SPA.

I presume you can lie to user by pretending that their change was instantly submitted, while syncing in background. In that case, yes, SPA all the way.
That only works if you use a hub instead of a switch, or if the traffic is broadcast, or if you somehow convince the switch to give your port all traffic. It's easiest to just use two NICs bridged in one PC as a MITM.
Of course it doesn't actually detect lies, there's no way it could.

What they do is use it as a tool against you to try to force a confession. It's absolutely a bluff on the part of the interviewer, and they know it.

What they'll do is sit you down after the "results" come in and say: "hey, we both know you weren't 100% truthful during the test, the results clearly indicate you lied during key parts of the interview. Is there anything you'd like to tell us?"

I cannot stress enough that the actual results of what the polygraph say are not factored in whatsoever.
Pixel 2 is quite cheap and will be far superior.
The implication is more on the reader. I don't expect the title to be as verbose as "WiFi 6 gets 1.34 Gbps on the Raspberry Pi CM4 with pcie wifi adapter."

It's wordy enough as is. And anyone who is in the market for this news knows that you aren't getting that with the stock radio.
further along it says that the people largely responsible have retired, so you might not get any worthwhile reaction.

You lot have a bit to learn about leadership. It has much less to do with code than you would think. A leader of a technical squad needs enough technical knowledge to properly contextualize what their team is dealing with, but that's all. Leadership is about setting up team members such that the whole group succeeds. It's about soft skills and knowing how any action or decision will impact how people feel about the situation at hand. It's about wrangling a team such that they behave cohesively.
Negotiate for converting your equity into debt that needs to be paid off at certain events. Easiest way to get the most money out of him. Lawyers can help you set that up in a contract, you just have to negotiate on the value of the debt.

You didn't elect Bill Gates... so he shouldn't spend his money to make the world better?

Exactly.

> Are you saying people shouldn't be allowed to make the choice between those?

No, but if they have "extra money", the most moral thing to do is not choose the good cause, but contribute it to the general charity fund to be democratically disbursed.

> Are you saying the first person is doing something bad by giving their money to medical research instead of spending it?

No, I'm not arguing the relative merits of mosquito nets vs Gucchi bags. If you think this is a such a 1 dimensional optimization problem with 0 externalities or higher order effects, we're not going to have a very productive conversation.
Tit for tat flamewars like this are not welcome on HN. Worse, you've been using the site exclusively for political battle for a long time now. The site guidelines explicitly ask you not to do this, and you've been posting so much of it that I've banned the account. I hate to ban a 10-year-old account, but the pattern here is egregious.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.
I’m glad this technique is making a comeback. The last 10 years of JavaScript on the client have been an utter shit show that left me wondering wtf people were thinking.
This comment and the parent comment are absolutely right, but they are not decisions I would have ever thought of myself. Kudos to both of you!
It is better to keep unrelated issues separate. The alleged FSFE issue you mention has little to do with trusting the FSF to accurately evaluate a free software stack.

If anything, slightly grumpy old school guys (again, alleged) are much better at rejecting corporate influence than the new people whose politics are literally bankrolled by corporations.
Lol so did I. Ageism is a thing, and it's everywhere. At least when you're young, you don't have the excuse of already having been in the other age class. That being said, several of my older professors were entirely full of snobby shit. The older I get, the more I see how they were not trying to impart knowledge, but to gain some kind of status as "hard-ass" old men with the younger generation.
Equity is property. The company must pay you to buy back the shares you have vested.
This, to me, is the right attitude to have. I really hope the pendulum eventually swings back to it being acceptable to have nuanced opinions about things. Nowadays if you dislike one thing a corporation does, or one publicized event from some public figure, you're expected to burn every bridge related to it or be branded as a hypocrite at best, or it's assumed you're an evangelizing psycho cultist for whatever that thing is.
Many leaders nowadays are very insecure, and that leads to an intense desire for control. It's sick, and sad, that this has happened over the past few decades.
Same with anime. It's known that many (if not most) animators don't even make living wages, but still, people go to work in the industry :/

Programmers literally create applications, features, games, whatever. You don't need to be making art to be creative. You just need to create something, and programmers do that all the time. It takes a lot of creativity to solve problems using code.
From a purely legal perspective, this is incorrect.

He's on a vesting schedule, and currently has 0% (his cofounder also has 0% currently, assuming they started at the sam time). They both entered this agreement to only get ~40% if they work there for 4 years (and at that point, they'll likely have to revest).

Vesting schedules were created for this exact situation.

It never performed slowly for me. It ended up having none of the features I wanted, but that’s a different concern altogether. Definitely rode the hype train and feel dumb about it now haha
Indeed, this is exactly how web chats worked in late 1990s, except for the use of WebSocket (they used infinite load instead). They even seem to revive frames, another staple of 1990s design!
The most convincing and scary take on the subject comes from Yuval Noah Harari, author of "Sapiens" best seller.

His premise that as soon as a system knows us better than we know our selves (e.g. facebook) then we can diverge all choices (what to eat, who to marry, what to watch) to the machine and then it's a new kind of dystopia were no decision needs to be taken by a human who is comparatively uninformed. Now, as he points out, if the system has glitches a-la Matrix and Neo comes along, we basically keep being the "heroes" of our story, but what happens if the system _really works_ for us... What if a computer can match mine and another one's happiness with a % of success that it's impossible for me to match, what happens then?
This just seems so crazy, to think of 120V. I haven't seen a house here with 120V in my entire lifetime. It sounds like a relic from the past, like the kind of thing people used back when they rode horses.
The idea that government intervention is what causes inequality really resonates with me, however, I'm not sure I buy it. In the last 15-20 years inflation has been historically low.
I'd take it back even further:

We started out on mainframes.

Then things moved to the desktop, with some centralized functionality on servers (shared drives, batch jobs).

The processing moved to centralized web servers via the web, SAAS, and the cloud.

Then more moved into the client through React & similar.

And now things are moving back to the server.

Tick. Tock.

These changes are not just arbitrary whims of fashion, though. They're driven by generational improvements in technology and tooling.

Whilst the investor might consider that taking sides in personal aspects of the dispute looks unprofessional and might not see your compensation
as a priority, surely the only way they could actually be truly 'neutral' on the future of the business is if they've already written the investment off as a bad one. (Which in itself would be useful to know)

Otherwise I would expect them to be (i) interested in ensuring the underlying tech was maintainable in future, which if nothing else might result in more reasonable earnout possibilities for you and (ii) concerned that one of the founders apparently wishes to cut others out of the business to turn it into his personal cash cow, particularly if the other founder is the one with monetisation ideas.

It's not guaranteed that the investor is your friend (another possibility is that replacing you and taking the business in a different direction is something they quietly encouraged) but I wouldn't expect them to be 'neutral' on whether the business has a chance of generating them a return or not.

An interesting development is that the argument "common libraries will be cached in the browser" is no longer true. Chrome and other browsers are starting to scope their caches by domain, to mitigate tracking techniques that used 304 request timing to identify if the client had visited arbitrary URLs.

Yes, I'm aware that "it will be cached" lost most of its glory when bundling became mainstream, but I still hear it as an argument when pulling things from common CDNs.

I personally feel like the issue is endemic: the complaint isn't about a few bad apples, but that the entire Internet is effectively funded and operated by this stuff. The core problem is an incentive structure in a game that requires government to solve as it is a public goods problem. I thereby see people complaining about the issue from a website that does the same things being complained about as an example of how deep the issue is... it isn't at all strange, nor does it to detract from the concept: if anything, I feel like it furthers the argument.
Why wouldn't the bank just use dollars or Euros as the intermediate currency? Have a pile of dollars, a trading pair for everything against the dollar, and you're all set.

Getting a wired connection above 1 Gbps seems non-trivial -- there are products that do 2.5 Gbps, and other products that do 10 Gbps. It seems like you'd have to pick one or the other and hope the rest of the world standardizes on the same speed as you.

Please do not get involved in tit-for-tat flamewars on HN, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. Arguments like this are against the site guidelines and, when people get stuck banging their heads against each other like this, it's extremely tedious for everybody else. The only thing that works is to let go and walk away. I know that can be hard (believe me I know) but adding more mass to the pile only makes it harder.

The place this thread really went off the rails is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25482753.

Raspberry and Linux Drivers issues aside.

This is 1.34Gbps on a 2x2 5Ghz 160Mhz WiFi 6 with theoretical speed of 2.4Gbps. I could get very close to 800Mbps on my WiFi 6 on iPhone. So I was expecting 1.6Gbps with 160Mhz.

With Wireless speed over taking wired, we really need 2.5 /5Gbps Ethernet, but the move to these standards are so slow.

I’m not in SV (Midwest -> NYC) so I can’t verify based on my experience, but this is a really interesting theory.

VC Twitter likes suggesting that SF has practically surrendered to criminality and that the city is among the world’s worst-governed. I had suspected that this might be a pretty one-sided view of things, but perhaps it’s really true and SF (& SV if we consider it to include SF) truly are that dangerous.
Competence in writing and competence in technology are orthogonal matters, and it is not reasonable to "cancel" someone's contributions in one on account of their failure to live up to a standard in the other. Respectfully, for example, your spelling of "Survailance" does not call into question your worth as a privacy-conscious technologist.
Ignorant questions, if I may:

1. How come today, for home use, WiFi seems to exceed the price/performance of hard-wired? Is the Ethernet standard lagging, or lack of interest/demand, or some more physical barrier?

2. Related, for somebody who wants reliability, is Ethernet/wired still a sane choice, or does that just make them an old geezer?
In urban setting with overlapping wifi cards all blasting full strength at their neighbours, is real-life wifi performance actually near as good as wired performance?
> the investor put in 100k to get to 10% -- is that about how much "sweat-equity" that the OP has put in

Another way to look at it: their sweat equity is more like $1 million e.g. $100k “time” invested with a risk of success of 1 in 10 means you need to get $1 million out to be “even” (ignoring Kelly Criterion).

Obviously there is some Bayesian that goes on now that there is more information, but it seems like it has a better chance of success than when it started, which makes numbers more difficult to calculate than complete failure ($0).
Microsoft rushes out fix for critical Windows 10 bug
I can't agree enough! Although, I should say it's crazy how good the best readers from Zebra are and especially crazy how good vision api's from Dynamsoft are! They can read up to eight PDF417 codes simultaneously!!

Tbh, barcode thermal printers need an open source print driver other than Cups. I've been working on a project that both involves printing custom labels with Data-matrix qr codes and scanning them. Unless you pony up $400+ for a Zebra printer that has a "direct print" api that allows you to bypass common print drivers - using Cups is a huge pain. In many cases (at least on macs) it's nearly impossible to use a web passthrough to your local cups driver and commonly submitting a sequence of jobs incurs a 3-5 second delay between jobs. I now realize why there are entire companies built on top of proprietary print drivers and RPC channels to talk to printers. It's not that surprising though, since most of this problem space has been dominated and solved by Point of Sale companies. I'd definitely be open to any suggestions as to how I could better integrate printing to a rollo and scanning from a scanner or mobile device in a react app!

It's amazing how quickly ARM has become adopted by so many mainstream companies (for ordinary "desktop" operating systems).

My pet theory is that we can thank Chromebooks and SBCs like the Raspberry Pi. About 5 years ago, my preferred development machine was a 10" Chromebook with Crouton. The project gave you a full Linux chroot environment with shells and X windows surfaced as ChromeOS browser tabs.

I loved it. I could run EDA tools while sitting in the middle of the woods, and the battery would always outlast the sun. It was tiny and light enough to fit in an inside pocket. And I never felt nervous taking them anywhere, because I could write a few of them off for the price of a "real" laptop.

The only hurdle was the ARM SoCs. You could only run software that you could build from source, because almost nobody built proprietary applications for ARM ISAs. But the relevant tooling saw a lot of development and improvement during that time period, because suddenly a lot of people were giving them a workout.

So 5 years ago, you still needed a backup x86/64 machine for proprietary applications. But the myriad benefits were clear, and I'm glad to see that these power-sipping RISC chips might finally get their day.

And if you think this is exciting, just wait until more people start making RISC-V SoCs on modern process nodes!
Variance and latency is much higher with wifi than with wired. Sensitivity to interference is also a problem. Dropped packet count is usually much higher with wifi, which can wreak havoc on many applications.
It's a productivity hack for companies that have more backend devs that strongly prefer ruby to javascript, like a presume basecamp team is... AFAIK this doesn't apply to the average web dev teams nowadays, most of whom never even used ruby before...
Between what? Your frontend is serving the html/css/js, that's your frontend. You can have another background service behind it, as many layers as you want. This separation doesn't have to be at the http level.
That's illegal. It should be as easy to reject as to accept.
Advising to give up while there's still room to negotiate sounds like bad advice. At the worst, OP could turn this into a learning excercise on how to negotiate in a tough situation, with zero downside compared to the advice given here.

This doesn't have to be a protracted legal battle, but reading up on documents they signed, figuring out their proiories (continue in biz? get at least some value out? etc) and negotiating in good faith is something that might come very handy later, in another startup, with much more to lose.
Yeah, LitHub is definitely a place of promotion more than it is a good literary publication. If you’re reading something on that site then you’re most likely being sold a book. They were created and are ran by publishers and publishing insiders. But that’s not to say they don’t publish good writing. So it’s probably an excerpt from her books (as seen from the “via Bantam Books” at the top of the page).
Agree with this, 3% of something is better than 40% of nothing. I was a technical co-founder was that left a startup early on, and because we didn't have a vesting agreement from the very beginning, I was entitled to my 40%, even when I left the company. While it was to my advantage, I didn't want my co-founder to give up when I left, so I gave most of it up. For my next startup, I'll make sure to have a goals-based vesting agreement from the very beginning i.e. co-founder gets x% on first sale, x% on first raise
> Oh, and older systems (like 5 year old ones)... surfing the web on an older system can be a pain now because of JS proliferation.

This matters because of the poor, the elderly (on a fixed income), and those who aren't in first world countries don't have easy access to money to keep getting newer computers.

Then there is the environmental impact of tossing all those old computers.

So, there is both a people and environment impact.
Perhaps my head and torso are already slightly distorted and the lens is doing me a corrective favour. Either way, still happy!

If they can't justify the price increase and it doesn't make then a cpear winner against the competition, the manufacturer will cut some corners to stay competitive. At scale, an expense increase of $15 per device is quite significant.

Anyone who's honest with the nature of humanity knows that complete nuclear proliferation will never work to bring peace on earth, because basic game theory tells us at least one side will just cheat and keep some hidden nukes ;)
