You don’t hire a developer just because they can say some jargon. They need to show proof of skill, either through code of theirs you can see, the interview process, whatever.

Similarly, business people don’t take shit like this seriously until lawyers are involved. They see no evidence of your ability to actually hold them to account and so believe they can just push you around.

Hiring a professional who knows how to actually hold the other side legally accountable, or make them hurt (tens of thousands of bucks in lawyer fees and months down the drain if the case goes to court) shows you mean business.

Otherwise it’s just talk.

A lawyer is also an expert and can give expert advice, both strategic (what should we do?) and tactical (how do we do it?) based on knowledge and experience. Exactly the same way you do in your technical domain. Would you want advice from a non-engineer on how to architect or build something? What database to use? No.

Like developers, lawyers cost money for a reason, and it’s because of the value they can bring.
This reminds me of an old video of Steve Jobs. His idea is simple, but it's really powerful. In short: the world is something you can change, not merely participate in.

When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money.

That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

And the minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will, you know if you push in, something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it. That’s maybe the most important thing. It’s to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you’re just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.

I think that’s very important and however, you learn that, once you learn it, you’ll want to change life and make it better, cause it’s kind of messed up, in a lot of ways. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

> Don’t quite understand your point. The actors in the supporting roles are also a pleasure to watch.

They’re not nearly as good as the actors in the film, and they’re used to a much lesser extent. (Seems a little mean but you did force me to spell it out.)

The positive comments make me feel I do need to give the series another watch someday soon to understand where the fans are coming from. I think I had a much more positive view of Smiley’s People than some, which I’m curious about too...

I can clear a room by going on about how Soderbergh’s Solaris is superior to Tarkovsky’s, so I guess I’m not a stranger to your plight.

There’s a series with Helen Mirren called Prime Suspect that was shown intermittently in England over twenty five years. One thing I took away from it was that the evolving aspect ratios of broadcast TV (the show used three different ones over time, inviting some comparison) really have expanded what’s possible on the screen.
You keep digging this hole deeper. Some reasons why your message is just terrible:

- You are nobody to tell us (business owners) what we do or don't want.

- Can call and have to call are two very different things.

- Your reference to "real businesses" is prepotent and condescending. Also, I enjoyed the irony given you just admitted in another comment that Baremetrics is a sinking ship.

No, you can't just cancel any service by blocking your card payments. Legally they are quite distinct actions, and depending on the situation, you may find yourself with debt collectors chasing you quite rightly for money you legally owe, damaged credit, etc.

If the service provides a reasonable means of cancelling, just use it. If it doesn't, take other action as appropriate, but don't just silently block payments without making a reasonable attempt to tell the service you are cancelling.

You said it wasn't clear from the context that a fine is punitive. I pointed out that context isn't necessary to determine that, as it's clear from the definition of fine.

Do you now agree that fines are punitive?

If so, do you agree that fines need to be set high enough to provide a disincentive, even if that is higher than the average negative externality created by an infraction?

Services make up 80% of US GDP, so it is definitely being measured to a large degree.

I would like to disagree a bit. Resolving disagreements between co-founders I tricky.

I would request OP to assume good intent and ask the following question.

I do not know, but it is perfectly possible that the other person might have a good answer. If you have already made up your plan you guys can agree on some kind of plan where you divest your stock over a period in one way to another.

I have a suspicion that the other co-founder probably does not want OP around for whatever reason. But OP can help him by simply taking a break while keeping the stock.

> many who live here don't even realize that California (both alta and baja) pre-dates the existence of the US and British colonialism by a significant margin.

Alta California was first colonized in 1769, not long before a bunch of British colonies on the other side of the continent that had been settled for quite a while broke off to form the USA; Baja was colonized from 1683. Neither predates British colonization of North America, and the colonization of Alta California only barely predates US independence.
There are mainly three reasons here:

1. We changed the source code too much that we are not able to merge it back to RocksDB easily (This project started at 2016 as an close-source project)
2. We have different road path with RocksDB (e.g. We will remove a lot of un-used code to make TerarkDB much more light-weight than current version in the future)
3. We have lots of third-party partners (e.g. Intel, on Opatane SSD/Memory and others with ZNS...) may participant in this project
so we want to handle all commits ourself to make sure everything is under control.

> Sure, if your requirement is that you pass regulatory muster, then lighting is "simple" in that you can buy an off the shelf bulb, socket, and housing. But those aren't the requirements.

Yes they are. You don't get to point to random fancy things and call them "requirements".

> A phone light is just a little LED you could buy for a dollar and put on your keychain.

You're taking "phones have lights" too seriously. It was a deliberately vague and useless rebuttal to a deliberately vague and useless point. The real answer is what I already said. Replicating the functionality of a bulb/socket/housing is not hard to such an extent that the only reason to bring up lights is for jokes. So the joke got a joke back.
I'm sure someone will come and say they disagree, but I find CSS extremely unintuitive as well. The primitives it has compose very poorly. There are too many ways to do the same thing, each with their own weird quirks. Sometimes it's really hard to get it to render something simple. I mean... Just centering something on the screen is needlessly complicated. I wish CSS was more like a programming language, with a minimal set of primitives that are nicely composable, instead of 1000 bells and whistles that go in every direction.

This is literally the argument for why communism hasn't worked. Without private property it was impossible to motivate people to do some kinds of work - taking on risk, organizing production, and some kinds of innovation - to a sufficient degree and without many drawbacks.

If someone found a way to motivate people to do those kinds of labour properly - and force doesn't work well for many reasons, so it would have to be non-violent, but without having to allow ownership of capital and wealth concentration, why wouldn't we consider it? The Communists of old thought they found a way to do so and were wrong, but if someone today found a way to do it that doesn't cause many drawbacks, it would be foolish and dogmatic not to consider it, and if it works well, implement it.
This is actually a well known thing in psychology.

Instituting a fine can actually cause the undesired behavior to increase.

E.g. daycare adds a late pickup fee, then it becomes, "Oh well, I can <get thing done> for $20" instead of something the parent feels really guilty about, thus actually INCREASING late pickups.

The tooling does support customizable stack trace filtering pretty well I think (at least in Calva and CIDER, probably Cursive too?).

I wouldn't want to filter out clojure.core frames because you can click on those and see the line of code in the stdlib that is calling back into your code when you use higher order functions, it's useful.

Feedback for “Home for Startups' ” Platform
Hello Hacker News,
Valuable User feedback is a key to build a successful business.

I've started working on building a seamless platform for founders and investors.

A startup to support startups’. Let’s say there’s a platform with all the startups' information under one roof.

1. Investors/VC Firms- Choosing according to the sector, connecting with founders, understanding their team,
Pitch decks, invest in those startups and work with them.
2. Startups' can also upload survey forms in the platform for consumer reach and understanding them.
3. Forum's
4. An Identity for startups.
5. Registration of startups

We're not there yet but for when we're ready.

What do you think about this? Valuable feedback and thoughts on this would definitely help me to improve the idea. User feedback plays a crucial role when building a business.

Thank you,
Vss Vinesh,

We are working on our `all-in-one docs` which will explain everything.

I want to address that we are not meant to "get rid of" RocksDB (which lots of KV engine claimed). What we want to do is provide another solution for storage engine users with different road path (focusing on new hardware and heavy-write workloads).

For simple use cases, there will be no difference no matter what engine you use.

And for most cases, upgrade your hardware (e.g. SATA SSD to NVMe SSD) or tuning your RocksDB parameters would save you lots time, just make sure you understand what you are doing.

There's no cue for every workloads, try TerarkDB if RocksDB happens not fit your scenario.
For anyone on here who needs to hear it, that also applies to harvesting my email before telling me what your product actually does. You'll get garbage/inauthentic data 100% of the time, and a lot of it if you're too insistent.
Back a couple of years ago I messed up my MBP by partitioning it to dual-boot Linux.

At the time Linux desktops didn't cope with retina screens very well (and probably still don't?), but it was worth it for my code-heavy days. But I still went back into OSX for Skype-for-Business calls (shudder).

For ages I was very happy Linux-on-MBP user.

And then OSX refused to upgrade to the next major version because the ssd was partitioned.

So I'm kinda wary of ever doing any stunt like partitioning the internal ssd again in the future.

But reading about dual-boot from external SSD makes me think "when I get my M1, perhaps I can boot Linux from an external SSD". That way I can still use OSX for the MS Office Suite when the web-version isn't cutting it, kinda thing.

But is there any signing requirement for the external ssd boot-up?
What a dipshit reply.
"We" is the People, the Sovereign, the Government, whatever you like, whatever makes laws that allow for private property and regulates it. We suppose they have some divine insight into the ideal allocation of capital because empirically, so far, this system has shown to be the best way to allocate capital in many situations, so we allow it.

Outside of it, capitalist ideology also has the idea of the divine invisible hand of the free market, which is certainly an exageration, but in the real world markets with the proper conditions and regulations are pretty good at allocating capital.
To be clear, it's not that I didn't write any Ruby for 5 years: I just didn't write a lot of it.
