> I'm guessing you have a board seat too. he doesn't have 51% voting rights so he probably needs the investors to side with him to oust you for which he needs a legitimate reason. (title of CEO doesn't really matter all that matters is the voting rights you're not an employee).

> finally you have the code and you can tweak it and make it open-source there's no IP laws protecting code so at that point he owns nothing.

> honestly the company is done, the investor is neutral cause he's already written the company off and I would say this is the point of no return no matter which side this goes the chances of running the company are rather slim.

> the reason he doesn't want to monetize it is because he was probably planning on doing this to you, it'll be much harder to do it if the company is making money if you get out he'll monetize it the next day

I'd stick to my guns and tell them if they don't buy you out then the company is dead. The only scenarios are -
1. he buys you out.
2. lets your equity remain ( he probably can't fire you ).
3. company goes down
It's very common in NYC, at least among properties that target lower/lower-middle class incomes. Which is a real shame, honestly, because cats are almost always ok, and they're much more likely to make huge messes and actually damage finishes by clawing.
So far, this looks very much tied to some Rails gems : documentation for installing outside of Rails is pretty much non-existent, I guess to be expected for a beta. My issue with Turbolinks/Stimulus is really that it's developed pretty much behind closed doors at Basecamp and we maybe get a shiny new release every few years, instead of being developed as a more open source project with incremental improvements and input from a wider group of contributors with diverse needs and insights than one small team at one company.
I think that's very wishful thinking. Firstly, we're assuming that this will happen:

>"Once nobody has to constantly struggle for basic comforts,"

It's definitely possible. Humans have an immense amount of potential for good. But I don't believe the people in power, with the influence to enact meaningful change, will ever let this fly. Simply because of the reason that they greatly benefit from the current state of the world. People in this class have most of the capital and generate money from their existing wealth while doing basically nothing of value. They need us commoners to consume, consume, and consume. They need us to work and labor away, as cogs in the machine that makes them profit, so that they will not have to work like us. Yes, automation will come. But who will own the factories and machines? Exactly. But even then, there will still be many things that they require laborers for. And in the future, the common people will be fighting each other over the privilege of serving this owner class at the continued threat of destitution. Just like how it's always been...
> He has to leave.

Depending on how the investor looks at this that is not a run race, it may very well be the investor that sides with the OP and together they may be able to kick out the aggressor.
Exactly. Here's another comparison. Why should cities build affordable housing? People can just go move into the forests and mountains and build houses themselves. The point is that these entities have become a necessity for doing business.
Pretty sure the last sentence was a joke. I know with cryptocurrency it is pretty hard to tell.
It does indeed!
1) My dog. Does this count as hardware? :) It is not an overstatement to say he's changed my life.

2) iPad + Apple Pencil. I can access the ever-elusive flow state by drawing/sketching/coloring with the drawing program ProCreate.
Yes this is the new magic stuff.

But I doubt they'll integrate this into Rails. They'll just create better and better tooling to make using this with rails a cinch.

I think this will just remain backend agnostic, like turbolinks and stimulus were before "hotwire".
C128(ABC) and 39 got the most testing (other players in my space like C128). I'd also like to add that the fail rate on C128 increased as the encoded values got complex. That is to say 15 numeric chars was "very reliable" but 17 alpha-numeric+1 symbol had was "very unreliable"

And if you're in the <12 digits only space C128 is still a safe choice
It probably would, and there are apps to do exactly this. Mounts are cheap enough to be reasonable, though there aren't many specialized for this yet.

Personally I don't think they'll even take half of this market - it means you can't fiddle with your phone while on a call.
I didn't neuter mine and he's 12 years old dealing with some testosterone related growths on his anus. He's going to have surgery to remove the growth and a neutering to prevent it from coming back.

He was probably a lot more to handle because of not neutering him but it worked for us. Next time I think I'd go ahead with the procedure. He'll be just as awesome and will fit into society better.
But when funding dries up for startups and companies have to shutter, then all of their digital operation overseas is cut loose. And the people who lose their jobs go into cybercrime. They think, “There's no other options for me. So sure. Let's do it. Lock and load.”

this section is just nonsense. So the crisis happens then devs in "developing countries" become cybercriminals ? total bs ...

Assuming those life things would have happened regardless of whether or not you had the money to cover them, where would you be if you hadn't had the money?
Then they are in lots of trouble, assuming the OP has a rock solid legal agreement...
The reason phones have those issues is because they have to compensate. I have a FF camera that runs android, and it lasts on standby for a month, takes a picture in 0.023 seconds, and so on. It's just that phone cameras are not optimized for latency and phones in general are not designed to be cameras.
> The “creator” market is much more profitable than the gamer market where kids only have as much as mom will allow them to spend (vs The tech workers, coders, designers, youtubers, etc that need high quality displays to make a living).

This is a common misunderstanding of the gaming market due to stereotyping. The biggest age category in gaming is 18-34 by far. They generally also slant strongly to people with both more than average disposable income and higher likelihood to spend that same on gaming and related electronic toys. This makes gaming a 100 billion dollar market atm which is still growing rapidly.

> Both of which are market segments with terrible margins.

Not even close to accurate. Gaming related hardware is generally quite high margin. There's a reason ASUS et all use their gaming imprints as the place to introduce new high end parts. It's also a highly concentrated and networked market, making it very efficient to advertise to.
Finally, I would refer to Clausewitz; military alliances always serve political means. War is effectively another means of politics (Clausewitz's quote is often mangled a bit). So if you would prefer no military alliance, you would first need to abolish all political alliances. No trade agreements, no environmental agreements, so on and so forth. What causes conflicts isn't military issues, it's political issues.

Very true. I think that mostly, web dev mainstream has taken a rational path. It’s with the benefit of hindsight as you say, or the yoke of unusual requirements, that people now say ”we did it all wrong”.

The Rails people never went for SPAs though. Releasing another server-rendering AJAX thing for rails (previous was TurboLinks) no more represents "the pendulum swinging back" than a new version of COBOL that runs on mainframes represents the pendulum swinging back to mainframes. If this approach gains market share against React etc., then that will be meaningful - but don't hold your breath, there are legitimate reasons for the move to SPAs and also an enormous amount of institutional inertia behind it.
Let's say you take another approach. Build a backend that serves REST, GraphQL or whatever protocol. This can be a Rails backend, could be Python, JS, whatever. Now you or the frontend team are free to build the frontend with whatever technology.

You can update it more freely to shining new JS frameworks because it is not entirely tied to your backend.

Also, if your client/boss asks you to build a native IOS frontend, you already have built an API, useful no?
The word entropy can refer to 2 separate things, but they are somewhat related:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_in_thermodynamics_and_...

>My greatest concern was what to call it. I thought of calling it 'information,' but the word was overly used, so I decided to call it 'uncertainty.' When I discussed it with John von Neumann, he had a better idea. Von Neumann told me, 'You should call it entropy, for two reasons. In the first place your uncertainty function has been used in statistical mechanics under that name, so it already has a name. In the second place, and more important, no one really knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.'

"Accelerated vesting".

Typically: in the case of a liquidity event or if there is a termination without cause in order to gain control of the co-founders shares. Those terms are pretty common, and without having seen the vesting agreement we shouldn't make any guesses as to what is in there. Leaving can be many things, and co-founders typically don't have the authority to fire each other at will without grave consequences.

Two things I haven't seen anyone mention that seem important:

1. For the villages that have now "made it" economically, there are countless others that haven't, that still live in one-room houses. What about them?

2. I think it's worthwhile pointing out that the product that he created, while popular and financially successful, is still used in the same settings charcoal is. And while carbonized briquettes produce less emissions that charcoal, there are still a non-negligible amount of particulates generated. By introducing a new source of this type of fuel he could be creating a local maxima that's still far from ideal. Additionally what are the effects of the type of repetitive labor these people are up to?

That said, it's wonderful to see someone lifted out of poverty. I hope millions more have the same chance.

(Do you get why some people are pushing back on your comment above? You can come up with this kind of stuff for anything. You can't eat an apple today without possibly furthering child labor, our world is too complex to try and turn every feel good story into a dig for downsides, because they will always exist. It is in no way "important" to do suss them out. And it's fine to discuss them, but you don't need to make it a reaction to the feel good story, you're allowed to just discuss these topics independently of the story)
Generally people argue that static HTML is more energy efficient than server side rendering.
I wonder If that is true in the case of static HTML "that loads an SPA", versus a server-side rendering with a proper cache in place. The SPA loading will still consume good energy on each client computer. Would love to see some numbers.
Lots of hype, lots of projects and approaches, and lots of opinons about what is more convenient, but few numbers measurements of resources (space, time, what more?). May be It silly me, and the difference in energy terms is irrelevant.
> Also, from watching the videos, I had the impression that the technical work is mostly done by other people, e.g. the famous glitterbomb was built by Sean Hodgins.

That seems a little unfair. From the description is "Mark came to me with an idea and a design. Who knew a simple idea could turn out to be such a complicated device? [...] It was fun being able to bring Marks concepts, designs, and ideas to reality, and together work to solve each problem as they arose".

Mark releases about a video a month. No way can he do 12 projects a year entirely on his own. Everyone big on YouTube has a full team behind them. It's big business!

Is a company founder the only force behind a startup? No! They hire and build a company! But are they the driving force? That's often a fair statement.

I feel like you're pitching a story of "YouTube personalities are just a facade who don't do anything". Which I don't think is generally true. However I think the following is very true. "YouTube personalities have 10+ person teams behind them. And big channels have media empires pushing their brand."

You could just avoid the big banks and go for a smaller boutique that seeks to maintain its reputation with a companies first policy. The bigger banks are usually chummy with all institutional investors and will certainly pull shit to make a higher profit. An elite boutique bank, or a reputed banker running the show, can work wonders. For tech, one such bank is Qatalyst, for healthcare it's Centerview, like that, for instance. Even better if they can run an auction process for you.

That being said, the number of good "reputable" bankers is increasingly declining as they've soon realized they could make much more money on the investing side. There is a serious dearth of excellent bankers and a lot of mediocre bankers. This policy could not have come at a better time, if not earlier.
It's not clear the other founder actually owns any more than TCF does. What makes you think TCF can be so easily pushed out or that the other founder has significantly more leverage? It isn't clear to me that they have different deals.

Honestly, if non-technical thought he could fire this guy, he probably would have already. That's why TCF is being bullied into resigning.

What is non-technical going to tell the investors when he fires the guy who keeps everything running, built everything, and did all the SEO?

Think of it this way, take the deal and you get 3% of nothing because it'll get driven into the ground.

Don't take the deal and either you keep working on it, and get 40+% of something decent, or you get N% of nothing because other guy drives it into the ground but you got a better buyout.

There's very little downside for TCF in actually sticking to his guns, and it's not like he's going to look like the asshole here.

Could this be used to make torrenting a felony then? In the case that you're sharing a commercial work, obviously. You sharing a torrent is essentially you providing a service (being in the swarm, sending chunks), which exists entirely and only to infringe one or several copyrighted works (the files in the torrent).

With (1) a virus that's going to keep mutating and require regular vaccine updates, (2) the current vaccines with two separated shots and unpleasant side effects, and (3) people ditching their masks even more now that vaccines are in the picture, I'm guessing there's enough uncertainty that people and companies with the money to buy down risk will still be interested for quite some time.

Though it'll still be competing with better lighting setups and recommendations for people to just videoconference from their cell phones. I wouldn't want to risk my capital on it, even though I'm pretty frustrated with my webcams' low quality.

This is just demonstrably false. Both paradigms have areas where they shine. One or the other is not better across the board.

I guess the point of Hotwire is that there isn't pretty much anything you can't do with the "old tech" that you can with the modern javascript CF.

"Literally", in the view of those doing the skipping, not the post author, is my interpretation.
I think the best quote was from Matt Levine in his "Money Stuff" Bloomberg column. I can't find it right now but it was essentially he was talking about paper key practices and said:

"Imagine you go into a room of computer scientists and say: 'I've developed the most secure form of money possible, it's so secure you can't keep it on your computer and you have to dig a hole in your backyard and keep it there' you'd be laughed out of the room."

There are, and google is preventing vendors from installing them.
one of the reasons people neuter dogs (males especially) is to lessen the chance of aggressive behavior. I don't know whether this is actually true, but it's one of the main reasons people give. the other (and more persuasive, imo) reason is simply to prevent the dog from procreating. there are already far more dogs and cats in the world than people are willing to home. unless you're able to keep your dog away from any females or are willing to take in more puppies, you probably ought to get him fixed.

whatever you choose, I recommend you make a decision soon and act on it promptly. my dad wavered over this decision with our family dog for a few years and when he finally decided to get him fixed at age three or four, I do think it was worse for him than if it had been done at a younger age.
Microservices does break compile-time type checking. Runtime correctness != compile-time correctness. This is all assuming you managed to convince everyone to use the same language and throw everything under 1 solution too.

I absolutely love that our application takes just a little bit longer to build than a smaller isolated microservice. This is when my computer is doing all of the hard troubleshooting work for me ahead of time. 32+ cores diligently seeking out my wasted time and banishing bugs before they can even make it into QA.

Determining that your types don't line up during integration testing seems like a foolish approach if you value your time.

This is where there needs to be some careful thinking about terminology, since we don't have any right to other people's stuff by default.

The people who made the movie have all the rights to it and then they make some DVDs and sell them. They only sold what's on the DVDs. They didn't sell the other stuff, so people don't have a right to that stuff.

Now, that is not to say that the products couldn't be different in the future. It might turn out that movies which include a footage "parts kit" do better in the market place, so much more so that it becomes the normal way of doing business and is what is the ordinary and expected product at the ordinary price. But there's no reason to expect we have any particular rights to stuff other people did, or that they can't carefully parcel out the rights at prices that they set.

"Where Good Ideas Come From" is similarly useful in this regard. "To form fresh ideas, it is necessary to explore the adjacent possible, and to have the widest adjacent possible, it is necessary to have the widest list of available ideas for recombination, the biggest list of spare parts available for recombination" ... quoting from my notes.
In all fairness there is a legit service provided by underwriters. Most companies offering IPOs aren't well-known tech companies with an informed market ready to buy. They're more likely totally unknown and lack investor interest. Making a direct sale without underwriter support (who will buy a portion of your offering to act as a market-maker and stabalize the price) can potentially fail to raise the necessary capital. Yes underwriters demand fairly steep fees, but they also take huge risks themselves.
All right, makes sense. Added it to my top level most upvoted comment here.
Good point.
Speaking of phone cameras...

I've had success using my iPhone for video capture via OBS. The setup was a bit fiddly, but still only took an hour-ish to try this approach by downloading and installing OBS, figuring out I needed a virtualcam plugin, finding it and fiddling w config, creating a dirt-simple "scene", and enabling it for use in Zoom. This is on an iPhone X (iOS 14.2), and Catalina (macOS 10.15.7).
You mean packaging up trillions of dollars worth of F rated investments into so many layers of garbage financial twiddling that they become A rated investments? Never happened.
I suddenly needed several reasonably good quality webcams (had to instrument my home lab for teaching electronics remotely, and wanted multiple views in some cases. NDI and OBS plus my pre-existing pile of old iPhones (a largish extended family's worth) have proven an admirable resource, especially since the screen lets me tell at a glance what the frame is. Even set up a jig to use an iPhone with my optical microscope.
