IANAL, but my understanding is that in order for the company to keep ownership of your designs, code, and other IP, you'd need to get some sort of consideration for that work. If you've been paid at least minimum wage then that counts as consideration, but if you haven't then you need to negotiate something reasonable in situations where a founder leaves the company before their 1-year cliff. 3% is fine, 0% wouldn't be fine though, unless again he had been getting paid. This is the reason why startups are always supposed to pay each founder at least minimum wage, even though normal employment laws usually don't require an owner of a business to pay themselves anything.

There’s a difference between a regulator and someone with a financial interest in success.

There is a certain effectiveness for some kinds of problems that being financially interested in truth brings which is harder to do consistently with regulation.

I am not trying to suggest a specific course is better, but pointing out that there is value in aligning doing the right thing with profit motive.
Genuine question: Have you considered buying out your co-founder instead?
You seem to have a general undestanding of the figures you can make through advertisement.
I'd suggest doing more research on that, maybe meeting with a consulting/advisor CFO who could help you make a case for it. Then you could go for a loan to buy your co-founder out, or meet with the investors to have him removed/replaced with someone who's gonna put the business first.

Airbnb lost out on over half the money they could have raised.

edit:

Priced to the banks at $68/share [1], opened to the public at $146/share the next day [2]. Free money for the banks, missed opportunity for the Airbnb balance sheet, and continued shut out of retail investors (even those with a large net worth).

This keeps happening. Snowflake and C3.ai left over 100% on the table to the bankers, and DoorDash left almost as much [3]. Bankers continue to get free money that the companies could use themselves for hiring and other expenses.

There is a big risk of causing permanent damage and significantly reduced lifespans by creating drug league, which has its own ethical issues. It would create incentives for people to push naive children or newly-adult into taking many drugs that will destroy the rest of their lives.

Drug league could have people dying mid competition, as they took too many drugs that they had a heart attack when trying to go all out, and that would create so much backlash and vicarious trauma that it gets shut down hard. I think it's the main reason why it doesn't exist.
Since you are already using TTL parts -- would peripherals build from them (or similar discrete gates with whatever voltage levels you'd need) help to speed up the ARM emulator? I'm asking this because I'm actually not sure if such a thing would be faster than even bit-banging on the AVR. But I could imagine that things like the memory interface would benefit from a "hardware" implementation.
That's the main point of this, though—until the CM4, it was not possible to get this kind of card working easily on any kind of Raspberry Pi.

There are some other SBCs (usually more expensive) with the capability, but being able to (easily) put AX WiFi into a Pi project enables some new use cases.

Two of the best courses I took in college outside my major:

1. The art of listening to music

2. Geographic Information Systems

Both courses were pretty much impossible to fail.

The first course expanded my musical horizons and led to me enjoying almost any genre of music, whereas before I had listened to only a few select genres. Huge QoL improvement.

The 2nd course had proven useful whenever the topic of mapping has come up, which includes understanding property lines and real estate.

5G and the Battle of Bath
They only have to buy his vested equity. His unvested equity, for all practical purposes, reverts back to the company. In standard 4/1 vesting, you get 1/4 of your equity on your first anniversary, and then equal-sized chunks every month thereafter for 4 years. Prior to that first anniversary, the idea of 4/1 is that you get nothing; the whole idea is to avoid allocating equity to people who don't last a whole year.
Pulse Oximeter Devices Have Higher Error Rate in Black Patients
In a few tests I ran, I found rendering to be fast and lightweight. If you already have prepared the associative array of values, then the final stage of combining it with a template and producing HTML doesn't strain the server, and so it doesn't help your server much to move that part to the client.

The server's hardest work is usually in the database: scanning through thousands of rows to find the few that you need, joining them with rows from other tables, perhaps some calculations to aggregate some values (sum, average, count, etc.). The database is often the bottleneck. That isn't to say I advocate NoSQL or some exotic architecture. For many apps, the solution is spending more time on your database (indexes, trying different ways to join things, making sure you're filtering things thoroughly with where-clauses, mundane stuff like that). A lot of seasoned programmers are still noobs with SQL.

Anyway, if rendering is lightweight, then why does it bog down web browsers when you move it there? I don't think it does. If all you did was ship the JSON and render it with something like Handlebars, I think the browser would be fine, and it would be hard to tell the difference between it and server-side rendering.

I think what causes apps to get slow is when you not only render on the client but implement a single-page application. (It's possible to have client-side rendering in a multipage application, where each new page requires a server roundtrip. I just don't hear about it very much.) Even client-side routing need not bog down the browser. I've tested it with native JavaScript, using the History API, and it is still snappy.

I guess what it is, is that the developers keep wanting to bring in more bells and whistles (which is understandable) especially when they find some spiffy library that makes it easier (which is also understandable). But after you have included a few libraries, things start to get heavy. Things also start to interact in complex ways, causing flakiness. If done well, client-side code can be snappy. But a highly interactive application gets complicated quickly, faster than I think most programmers anticipate. Through careful thought and lots of revision, the chaos can be tamed. But often programmers don't spend the time needed, either because they find it tedious or because their bosses don't allot the time --- instead always prodding them on to the next feature.
What if the investors pay for the due diligence? The candidate company must be forced to be radically transparent while the auditor will be incentivized to provide value to the investor and be liable if there is missing info due to negligence or corruption.
I'm not a front end engineer, but it always seemed crazy to me. I remember testing out the Google Web Toolkit when it came out more than a decade ago, and the craziest thing about it to me wasn't the Java --> JavaScript compilation, it was that the server just dumped an empty page and filled everything in with JavaScript on the client.

Then, remember the awful awful #! URLs? Atrocious, and seemed like obviously a terrible idea from the start, yet they spread, and have mostly died, thankfully. But even with the lessons from these bad tech designs, new frameworks come out that repeat mistakes, yet get incredible hype.

There are numerous Android/IOS apps which make your phone either a webcam or network camera.

Some examples are EpoCam, Camo, NDI Camera, etc.
As I understand these are all awful in their own way, typically with quality problems and extra latency as well as the extra complexity of the software.

The obvious solution is a camera mode in which it presents itself over USB as a webcam… As far as I know no "real" camera at any price does this.

I solve the problem with a Camlink, but it really should not be necessary.

The last decade in tech has shown that productivity does not matter most and I'm not sure the pendulum is swinging back (yet?). The only time productivity matters most is maybe small, bootstrapped businesses where cash isn't infinite and actual value delivered is what matters. In fact, the company behind this is Basecamp which is almost an outlier in tech at this point, as they're one of the few out there that actually makes its $$$ by selling products/services people pay money for, as opposed to endless VC money or acquisitions.

When it comes to VC-funded crap or big legacy enterprise trying to "modernise" itself, over-engineering allows grifters to twist the situation for their own personal gain. The business problem the tech is supposed to solve often warrants a simple solution, but why would someone solve it with a simple solution and 3 people when they can bring Kubernetes, microservices, "service mesh", blockchain and multiple programming languages to the mix and suddenly become an "engineering manager" managing 30 people, put big words on their resumes and speak at conferences about how they solve big (self-inflicted, as a side-effect of the overengineering) problems where more of their peers (either new and genuinely believing this is the proper way to do things - like I once was - or experienced enough to know this is BS but support it as it paves the way for their own career) encourage them?

This happens at multiple levels too, it's not just developers or would-be engineering managers. The funding side of things is also broken in the sense that you'll attract more investors and raise more money (some of which you'll keep in your pocket as salary, even if the company folds in the end) if you throw big words and pitch an over-engineered solutions such as blockchain as opposed to a simple and proven one (even though the latter is more likely to actually pay off).

I'm not defending omnibus bills here nor was I above. I was defending pork. Even small bills are susceptible to legislation unrelated to the headline title sneaking in. That isn't always a bad thing.

> there are obvious lines we can cross where there's no reason for a bill to be so bloated and discordant

Conciseness takes work. Messes are easy. Rushed bills are heavy because the work of whittling it down hasn't been done.

In this case, I happened to be close to a senior Senate staffer as this bill was getting wrapped up. The way it works is each team takes a section and masters it. Tracks it from start to finish, keeps tabs on interested and affected parties, and reaches out to experts for clarification where necessary. This gets compiled into notes for senior staffers who distill it into policy and negotiating points for the elected. When I asked detailed question about the bill, knowledgeable answers came back within minutes. There is no Gell-Mann amnesia, at least not on this Senator's team. Anybody claiming they didn't have time to review the legislation is lying, unprepared or incompetent.

I agree something is given up by not having any single person with complete knowledge of the bill. But in a crisis, you don't have a choice between a concise non-existent bill and the hodgepodge. It's between the uncased sausage and going hungry. This was a self-inflicted crisis. There were months to do what was pushed against a deadline. In that, I find institutional failing. But given the deadline and the process, a big bill with some junk in it is not a bad outcome.
A stable 5k/month cashflow is worth maybe 1.5 million dollars flat. Ignoring the phenomenally unethical effort to part ways with you one month before the cliff, you rightfully own about 9.16% of that-- or on the order of 137k. You could argue that up and down based on risk and operating cost vs the potential to increase it, but I think that would be a fair starting place for the present realized value that I'd hope to negotiate from.

Have you talked with your investor? They may be more sensitive to the consequences of their reputation being damaged due to ripping you off than your cofounder is...
The key to good mesh wifi is to have wired mesh routers (at least with google/nest wifi). That still means one or two cat6 runs but better than a switch and as many cat6 runs as you need in every room.

It's a breakdown of the ownership of the company

Op - 40%
Co-Founder - 40%
Option Pool - 10%
Angel Investor - 10%

- The option pool for new hires means that if you're one of the first employees, your equity will come from that option pool. You may get 1% as an early engineer or 3% as an early executive for example.

- The investor owning 10% of the company means that they think the company is worth $1,000,000 right now. ($100,000 x 10)

- The 4yr vesting with 1 year cliff means the Op gets 1/48th ownership of the company every month over the course of 4 years. BUT BUT BUT they only get the first 1/4 (12/48th) until they have been at the company for at least 1 year. If the Op leave before 1 year, they get nothing.

As a note, for older Canon DSLRs that aren't supported you can pick up a cheap capture card on ebay for $15 and an AC adapter for a similar price.

Still though, surveillance capitalism is the commodification of personal data by private enterprise and on the other hand mass surveillance is meant to convey the surveillance of the whole (or a big part) of a population regardless of the mode of production.

SEC charges Ripple and two executives
Bought mine on Amazon for $400 six years ago. It stopped showing a picture but I get a white flicker at the base of the screen every few seconds.

I could (and probably should) investigate fixing it but it was easier to buy a 2160p Philips for $240. Only issue with the Philips is it doesn't have a VESA mount and it would be difficult to make some sort of jury-rigging work.

I run them attached to a Mac Mini and use the DisplayPort on the monitor. At one point I believe HDMI (or maybe just the Mac) wouldn't do 1440p. I'm copying stuff from an Intel Mac mini to an M1 and I'm able to toggle back and forth using HDMI for the Intel just fine.

Is there some sort of a PID-feedback-loop control that monitors the CPU/memory load and helps spin up more instances if it sees more traffic? If Kubernetes doesn't do that, what piece of software can help automatically scale if there is a huge traffic spike?

Load balance AFAIK doesn't do that. It just helps distribute the load.

Start a group chat with people you respect, provide the prompt, and start spit balling ideas. You probably already have a list in your head of “non-bullshit” people that you already know. Ask them what they care about and what they like to think about/work on. A few brainstorm starters:

- How can we address inequality and provide more opportunities to traditionally under-served communities?

- What does a “better” education system look like?

- How do we get people to eat less meat without being dogmatic or preachy? It’s really a win-win, people and the environment will be healthier.

- How does one combat counter-factualism (fake-news) without getting political?

- How do we bring new opportunities to those working in industries on the out? E.g. coal

- What are we going to do about a growing & aging population? Thinking about things like elderly care, retirement savings, family relationships in a fast moving and increasingly remote world.

I think most people want to think of themselves as “non-bullshit” but often it’s easier and safer to take a 6-figure job at something like a FAANG where they focus on monopolizing attention instead of working on really impactful problems like climate, education, health, etc. How might we change those incentives to get more people working on those types of problems?
I have a weird perspective on this, mainly because I'm a libertarian-leaning Canadian without any skin in this game, other than hoping that America can hold out and remain the bastion of individual freedom that the rest of the world has historically admired.

Neither party perfectly represents my views, nor would you expect that to happen if political parties are acting rationally. But the debate over the appointment of ACB struck me as a great example of why I find aspects of the Democratic platform to be objectionable. ACB is, in the tradition of Scalia, an originalist justice. She is not perfect, but her commitment is to interpret the constitution as it was understood when it was written, not as she wishes it to be understood today.

The principle objection to this appointment was that she might overturn Roe v Wade or the ACA... even if an originalist interpretation of the constitution might (but not necessarily would) show that the ACA is unconstitutional. It seemed like an indefensible position to be saying "we don't like her because she tries really hard to interpret the constitution correctly".

Other countries, like Canada, have a "living tree" method of interpretation that I find to be wholly objectionable because it puts unelected justices in the position of legislating from the bench. Understanding the reasons for America's amazing success over the last 200 years, and trying not to dismantle the system of government that has underpinned this success, should not really be an issue of party alignment.

Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that a lot of people seem to be distracted by the orange shiny object and don't bother looking at the substance of policy, even when they would probably find things to agree about in the analysis (if not the conclusion).
Historical reasons, but I don't know enough about this to say what they were. I infer that some of it may have had to do with the more uneven level of secondary schools in the US, as compared to the UK--where Sandhurst has a much shorter period of study (doesn't it)--or I suppose France/St. Cyr.
If she spends any time at all in the US, she can get a name change at the local county courthouse to add a last name for less than $500. Probably less than $250, depending on the State.

Potential worth != real money in the bank.

Also, seen from the other side: They made a contract offering 40% in four years (conditionally) - most importantly only relevant when the company/idea survive that long and are thus profitable/worth something. Why should they suddenly pay this (or a meaningful fraction?) out after one year? Or give an "outsider" 40%, which will most certainly be difficult to explain to future investors?
Yes, this is good advice thank you.
