This reminds me of the person who bought my old house. It has issues. Those were factored into the price. But he kept trying to talk me down further because he had a story in his head of what this house was going to mean for his life and it wasn't turning out to be a deal that was too good to be true (note: banks reject loans for houses that are too good to be true).

On the last back and forth round I offered to meet below the middle and it turned out he wanted me to meet him 3/4 of the way. When you consider the overall price of a house and how many % that is, it seems like a smallish thing to disagree over. But if your equity in the house is low, the house hasn't appreciated much, or both, a few percent could be a good deal of your profit margin, especially if you count in taxes and repairs like a sober investor, instead of the typical magical thinking about houses as investments.

Between us and my realtor we finally convinced ourselves that his dreams were not our problem. I'm not going to sacrifice my future so someone else can go live their best life - particularly when the goal is for them to live that life without me in it. If you're not my child that option isn't even on the table. You selfish, selfish bastard.

(We called his bluff, he bought the house anyway.)
Diving straight in to attack the critic (again) rather than discussing things usefully made it pretty obvious it must be the original developer. You don't generally see two people who behave like that managing to co-exist in the same project.

I think it's less about loving JS so much, and more about not having any options on the client. If there were any better client options they might have won!

there are almost 80 million dogs in america. linking a video with hundreds of pitbull attacks is not much better than just saying your neighbor has one and it's mean.

the margin for error is probably higher with a lab or golden retriever, but it's irresponsible to own any large dog without committing to proper training and socialization. any large dog can maim or kill a human if provoked.

While that may be true, he is being replaced by a plagiarist with a lose grasp of truth who is under widespread suspicion that he got the job by cheating.

This might be cynical, but I'm not sure we can hold politicians to the same standard as the military. Their job apparently is to lie cheat and steal as much as possible and hopefully drop a few crumbs for those who support them.

This would require a dedicated military full of honest dependable people, for the same reason you'd probably chose those types to assist you in robbing a bank.
If you work harder, and resent people not doing the same work, are you truly successful?
The point is that you don't have to "avoid the problem" if you are rich. You'll do better despite your failures.

Meanwhile when someone is poor they are expected to have zero failures in judgment and the poor generally have better judgment but when they do have a lapse the effects are catastrophical.
Not every employee is going to have an idea. Having established an "idea box" in a 5,000 person company, I'm inclined to say 1 out of a 100 might.

I wonder how that translates to stablecoins. Tether seems sketchy, but USDC seems solid.
Okay this is a bit meta, but the whole cluster of "everything old is new again", "the pendulum of fashion has swung", "nothing new under the sun" takes is ignoring what tends to drive this sort of change: relative costs.

The allure of xmlhttprequest was that over connections much slower than today, and with much less powerful desktop computers, a user didn't have to wait for the whole page to redownload and re-render (one can argue that focusing on better HTTP caching on the server and client might have been smarter) after every single user interaction. This was also much of the draw of using frames (which were also attractive for some front-end design use-cases later re-solved with CSS).

As apps got more complex, clients got more compute, bandwidth grew, and as web audiences grew, offloadingl much of the page rendering to the client helped to both contain server-side costs and increase or maintain responsiveness to user interactions.

Now, as desktop client performance improvement slows down (this isn't just the slowing of computer speeds, computers are also replaced less frequently), average bandwidth continues to grow, app complexity and sophistication continues to grow, but as server compute cost falls faster than audience size grows, shifting rendering to HTML back to the server and sending more verbose pre-rendered HTML fragments over the wire can make sense as a way of giving users a better experience.

That is fine, but problems arise when you start talking policy in an anthropomorphized context. Sure Russia is behaving like a bully, but that doesn’t mean the UK and other NATO members should call it’s parents and have Russia suspended from school.

I've just been getting into it, and am completely loving it, especially the elixir part. It feels like the whole OTP/erlang part of it (basically single codebase microservices and patterns that come with it) has proper engineering and principles behind it, and it's something I've been missing for a long time in our profession
TLDR: Made a bigger tower, it worked better.
OP might be falling into a wishful thinking fallacy, and assumes that with time there will be "progress", and somehow - even if it takes many false starts, and we have to go through fire and flames - but we'll end up with a better/great/fair world with a stronger/better/fair cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Also it seems OP considers SEC part of the ecosystem that helps weeding out the scammers.
What does modern mean in this context?
Also different government listening in.
I think this is a reasonable point and depends a lot on the OP's financial situation (and it sounds like OP's is better than the non-technical cofounder).

If they're reasonably secure they have more ability to fight for a better outcome, risking the 3%.

I would do that myself because having a cofounder tell me 1 month before vesting that they want me to leave with less than half of our deal is unjust and wrong. I'd do what I could to avoid that outcome, if the company blows up as a result it's the cofounder's fault - I'd sleep fine.

I would never do what the non-technical cofounder is doing to someone I partnered with.
Can you wait for another month, get your 10% and part ways with that business? That seems a fair and reasonable compensation for 1 year of work. I'd insist on a contract that would protect your share from dilution.
If they cheated then they should be kicked out. No second chances. They are training to be officers in the military, many of which will be responsible for the lives of others.
Cryptocurrencies are already taxed. The amount the SEC will collect here if they win will be peanuts compared to tax revenue and they aren’t going after regular folks but instead the alleged security issuer. They also have to do this because according you the definition there are plenty of bad actors using the same schemes to sell investments to folks so they have to enforce to reduced fraud overall.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that you shouldn't make decisions based on what random people on the internet say. By all means read all the replies but the best course of action is to seek professional counsel and guidance from an attorney.

You may or may not have to go through a legal battle to get your share.

You should document everything as soon as you can, text messages and emails. The more paper trails you have, the better. Don't agree to anything verbally or sign anything.

Finally, don't make hasty decisions on an impulse. It would be best to be cautious and consider all possibilities.
Doesn't it effect when startups choose to IPO though? The first thesis of this article yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25493646) put forward that because startups were missing out in the initial pop after IPO, it pushed the average tech IPO to be years later than before in order to try and capture more value privately.

This is at a determent to early employees with options (that then leave) as they have to make investments both in exercising options and the tax liabilities while waiting much much longer for liquidity via an IPO.
Markets don't innovate unless pushed into competition & ethernet has had so little pressure to innovate. I think there's a lot of parallels here to another article today, on webcams being ultra-uncompetitive. Discussion also talked about monitors in the same way. There's a very low expectations for these products & few people trying for better.

There is 2.5Gbit and 5Gbit ethernet happening. These are both significantly easier to implement than 10Gbit, which everyone is withholding, reserving for "enterprise" ("who needs that much speed?") but the whole thing screams scam, when far far more complicated wifi chips are so cheap, when 40 & 100Gbit are not that expensive. 10Gbit is not easy but all these 5Gbit, 2.5Gbit options; it strikes me as more about tiering, about having a range of products to sell, rather than update to something modern. Everyone is upgrading at minimum possible speed while leaving pricier options free of competition.

Meanwhile, intel just shipped two 40Gbps USB4 ports on their new cpu chip. Which can directly connect two computers with just a regular cable. Unlike ethernet this is very short range though, measured in meters. Although rumblings about optical keep showing up, which would throw everything into chaos. Wifi though, now, is multi-gigabit. It's making ethernet look bad.
Can you elaborate on why? What would you have done differently?
As pointed out by others, a cheap HDMI to USB converter unlocks many possibilities. I use a Sony RX100 on a tripod plugged into a $20 eBay dongle. Works flawlessly cross platform, no drawbacks except there is no mic.
The language is a fantastic one. I can understand the author putting every library/language/package-manager/examples in V together and trying to bring out a wonderful experience out of a language, but wouldn't it be better if the memory manager is fixed first and foremost.

At the moment its still incomplete. And this is the most interesting part of the whole language. ARC, weak refs, autofree also working together needs to be done, only then will this language be of weight. Garbage collection is a difficult problem to be fair and it definitely determines the performance of many languages. Not to mention multi-threaded GC is difficult. I am excited to see how the author pulls this one through. See you again with V 0.3. Till then best of luck!
Koku
As @Anosognosiogenesis notes at Twitter, the Koku is not merely a measure of volume, but of energy (food kilocalories), and of economic capacity:

Thus one koku is 513,540 calories per year.
1,406 per day. 1 koku of white rice weighs about 150kg, or 330lbs. Feudal estates were measured in koku, it was a basic economic unit. The economy was measured in, literally, how many people it could keep alive.

As of the date of this document (2013), no. This is technically not legal. The Library of Congress exempted phones from the DCMA but not video game consoles.

As a TA, I'm well aware that the students getting As are mostly collaborating and that the "lone wolf" students tend to do worse despite putting more effort in and possibly having a better understanding of the material. And I feel bad about it. But aside from horrible spyware, I don't see any good solution that would make exams more fair for the "lone wolf" students. My approach is to grade in a way that's disproportionately harsh when I see multiple similar-but-wrong answers and lenient when I see a unique wrong answer.

You can renounce your citizenship and pay the related fees/taxes for X years. Granted, you need to leave early and not just right before a windfall but if you really philosophically disagree with the contract (rather than just being greedy) then that's not much of an issue. Of course, most people who talk about this are totally fine with having the advantages of the social contract but wish to skip out once they need to pay up for them.
Cook made the right decision. Imagine dealing with Musk as a manager of one of your divisions. It would have been a nightmare for Cook. There's not enough money that would have made that palatable.
That's not true. You can offer better packages for your higher paid employees.

Outsourcing blue collar labor has to do with offering any benefits at all. Once your company has 50 employees or more, you must offer at least a bare minimum health insurance plan to all full time employees.

Outsourcing is cheaper, because you can deal with small companies that are more focused on taking advantage of employees by doing things like making sure no one works more than 30 hours a week.
It’s fair to try to solve issues. But these are hard issues, and it is at best overconfident to outright say they will do X, when they didn’t even started working on it, and at worse it may be a scam making money from donations, but I am hoping that it is the first case.
> You can update it more freely to shining new JS frameworks because it is not entirely tied to your backend.

With proper architecture, you would have stores & services as the main boundary of your app. Then you can easily consume them in your server-side rendered pages or JSON API endpoints, which are then just thin wrappers.

>Also, if your client/boss asks you to build a native IOS frontend, you already have built an API, useful no?

My client wanted email forms to improve engagement. And it was not a theoretical request.
I don’t see why delaying an IPO until you “capture more value privately” somehow minimizes the pop. Obviously that didn’t happen with Airbnb or DoorDash which were both pretty late stage at this point.

Don’t think it has anything to do with that.

The bar coding itself. I had always figures it wuld be a direct replacement of letters/numbers, like a glyph, but when I input two characters e.g. pp, I do not get an exact doubling of the bar code.
Well, the development of Bitcoin Core is highly susceptible to corporate influence as seen by what Blockstream did in the past (which is less now and more diverse), but still, it can happen again in the future should there be any contentious issues in the community.

Why is it that Lightning Network seems to be the only L2 solution with Bitcoin? Because it’s a Blockstream product.

Not so much directly about food insecurity, but that it could lead to comments being made that contradict the official narrative that there are no problems. After all mukbang videos attract a lot of viewers.

I think that is actually why there are international organizations, like the WTO, WHO, UN, International Criminal Court, etc. So political conflicts between nation states can be resolved peacefully.

If no nation had an army every conflict between nations would have to be resolved peacefully. This Clausewitz quote—or this interpretation of it—is simply wrong.
There a lot of tech companies in Seattle, many of which are growing their head count. I'd say it's just as good a job market as SF or NY, albeit slightly smaller.

I don't buy the BS from the interview/blog article.

No Amazon engineer I know was worried about leaving/loosing their job. All but one said their engineering culture wasn't fun to work in, and they all left before fully vesting... so i wouldn't say they were held hostage in any way.
As a web developer 20+ years, I'm just happy to see how much job security I have since none of you are smart enough to manage a React app and Webpack config.
It is a little dystopian isn't it? In European history tattoos specifically are associated with punishment, judgement and exploitation: Cain was "marked" and banished from eden, slaves and prisoners both past and present have born brands or tattoos which marked them as second-class citizens. In the United States, being marked by the government specifically is considered a sign of the apocalypse so there is a very strong fear about such things.

However this can have a positive effect in a different context. Maori don't come from a Christian background, so the act of marking people has a completely different meaning. If my life story is permanently written on my skin, that's a strong motivator to live well and do things I can be proud of. If my ancestry is part of my public identity, then I must also be excellent, so that my actions reflect well on my descendents and those descendents have a good role model to emulate in their lives. I think it encourages a strong sense of individual responsibility, a focus on supporting the community and multigenerational thinking.
This is pretty interesting. I'm very much looking forward to the results of this study.

It very much reminds me of (especially in the 90's) comparisons between Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence. AI is a top-down approach, and ALife is a bottom-up approach. AI is about knowing when and how to react to an input, and ALife is about emerging and evolving traits in response to similar inputs.

Nowadays only a small subset is typically called ALife, but these days they are routinely used together. Neural Networks are a good example of where both philosophies connect relatively seamlessly.

Mainly the people who study these things would suggest that AI won't suddenly become self-aware or conscious, but ALife is particularly able to demonstrate emergent traits that look like it is acting on its own accord. When Alife and AI play together, then you increase those odds by a whole lot.

The subject is a lot "bigger" than this, so keep in mind this is a 1 mile wide, 1 inch deep description only. If you really want to grok ALife in its purest form, I recommend reading Valentino Braitenberg's thought experiment "Vehicles."
In my experience, most companies have kind-of-SCRUM and deadlines.

Like, sure, you can make a team decision about what goes into this sprint, and what goes into the next one. But the management makes the decision what must be done in three or six months, and there is no negotiation about that.
Is this the Hot New Magic DHH was hinting at?
