> If you take it a step further and use the point free style, you are eliminating state all together further protecting your program from ever being dependent on state.

The problem is that the part of your program which processes state...is generally the useful part. This is part of the reason why I eventually came back down to earth after a couple of years of FP zealotry in my early career. I realized that it makes the easy parts easier. And there is something to be said about that -- there are a lot of codebases where just doing the table stakes refactoring that minimizes the surface area of stateful code does a ton to improve the codebase.

But in my experience, that's only table stakes. It doesn't make the hard parts (such as unfucking a broken data model and code + existing prod data which depends on those implicit assumptions) any easier. So it's a tool of limited use for most of the thorny issues I've come across in my career, across startups and BigCos.
Ask HN: Co-founder wants me to leave but won't entertain a buy out offer
I'm the technical co-founder of a pre-revenue startup. We were 51/49% to them and took a small round of pre-seed funding (~$100k) so our cap table is approx 40% for me and co-founder, 10% option pool and 10% investor. We have very standard shareholder agreements for 4yr reverse vesting with 1yr cliff.

My (non-technical) co-founder spent $10k to create the initial website over a year ago with the idea. I joined about 11 months ago and since then the idea has changed a bit, we've built loads of products, grown from 2k users to 60k users and continuing to grow due to dominating SEO for our niche.

Recently my co-founder said they wanted to work on it themselves. I said I didn't want to leave. They suggested I go down to 3% equity and they continue. I said they would need to buy out my equity at a fair price.

My co-founder doesn't have the money, and the business only has around $40k cash in the bank right now. My co-founder also won't entertain the idea of raising external money to buy me out, or monetizing the site right now.

To me this seems ridiculous as I'm literally just giving away my equity after spending 11 months building the tech and growing the business. Right now if we stuck adsense on the site, we'd generate $5k/mo, and we have inbound sales leads looking to spend upwards of $40k with us. Basically, the business is primed to make money.

They will not entertain the idea of me buying them out for cash.

What are my options here? It's basically being presented to me as "Take the 3% otherwise you'll own 40% of nothing". I don't really want any equity in the company at this point if I'm not involved.

This was a well-timed post. Thank you.

My wife's father (my father-in-law) passed away just 2 days ago at 75 years old with severe dementia due to a series of mini-strokes in his brain over the last ~5-6 years. I can't remember the medical term, but due to weakened and brittle blood vessels in the brain from plaque build-ups within the vessels. Doctors said he was in perfect health other than this single reason. With each mini-stroke, you could see him get knocked down step by step. He'd recover a little, but never back to baseline (which kept getting lower).

Seeing him go from the strong-handshaking, always smiling Minnesota corn farmer patriarch who regularly would outwork me when I'd be helping him with house projects....to seeing him take his last breath surrounded by his wife, 4 daughters, several granddaughters, and me...was heartbreaking.

> This is the canonical meme of free speech

That's a pretty dismissive way to say "jurisprudence".

> If every arena where people actually meet is privately owned, and all of these places agree on what ideas are valid topics of discussion, the effect on society will largely be the same as if a state actor suppressed free speech.

The concept that you're edging up to here is called "State Action". It's the idea that there are times and places where a private actor meets some sort of condition that makes them act so much like a government, that we hold them to the standards that we hold other governments, including all of the amendments and their existing jurisprudence.

While the Supreme Court has held up the concept of State Action, they've narrowed it significantly. The major case where State Action was upheld, Marsh vs. Alabama, the private actor in this case built a literal town. Since then the Supreme Court has been narrowing the precedent in this case, a process called "Limiting a case to its facts". Recent cases about State Action have had the court restrict State Action to "powers traditionally exclusive to the state", which does not include things like Twitter.

> People who repeat what you just wrote usually seem to ignore it:

This is both unnecessarily insulting, it's also wrong. People do talk about this stuff a lot, myself included. The fact that your reading list doesn't overlap with anyone who knows the jurisprudence here is your fault, not my fault.

> As a current example, consider if Facebook, Twitter and reddit all agree that any discussion asking critial questions regarding transgender issues are grounds for expulsion

This might be a problem under anti-trust issues, but it's not a 1st amendment issue.

> We're not quite there yet. But there are numerous incidents that make me worried that this trend will leave us with a society that's net worse off. Or moves towards violent conflict as the suppressing the free exchange of ideas has economic consequences where those with social access to free speech arenas get better opportunities, leaving the rest without even the possibility of engaging.

This is always the heart of the "free speech on Twitter" argument, and it is always extremely poorly thought out. Are you suggesting that Twitter cannot moderate beyond the (very wide) bounds of the first amendment? Because those "Twitter mobs" you fear are protected speech; if Twitter is held to the first amendment then they cannot be removed. Or are you suggesting that Twitter do something about the "Twitter mobs", which implies moderating some people for what they say on Twitter, which isn't exactly the "free speech" you're advocating for.

You can't have it both ways.

For monitors it is more than that. For a pretty expensive 144hz/1440p/gsync category that I researched a couple of years ago there were three options: acer, asus and viewsonic (and unavailable aoc). It turned out that asus, despite being a “better, much more money” brand, did a worse job of mounting the panel, so it had statistically worse backlight bleeding at one edge.

Apple Framework Hypervisor
Hmm...I only have a v1 from the days of playing around with interactive projection stuff. For a while it seemed like the v2 was expensive and/or hard to get with the cable. Also have an early Intel RealSense camera around somewhere but I don't know how well supported it would be. I know OBS has specific Kinect functionality built in so that sounds like it would be interesting to mess with.
I think it's in part related to fractional scaling, which hasn't been sorted everywhere. Text at 4k on a 27 inch is too small to run at 100%, too much of a waste to run run at 200% (equivalent to 1920x1080). So you're running 150% or 175% and that can be an issue if you're running something that doesn't like fractional scaling.

27 inch is perfect for 1440p 100% or 200% (i.e., 5k), but it seems like no one other than Apple has that figured out.
Well I don't know how to make it less loaded x) It's just how things are, it's a work that does no useful work in any meaningful sense, but serves to make some already fabulously rich people even richer (in fact, it extracts that value from non-HFT traders, so even those are shafted here).

My point is that I'm curious regarding how the people who work in these things feel about their job. Do they think they're doing a right thing? Do they "own it" to themselves that they don't care as long as they make money? Do they not think about it too much?

Why is 13 inch such a popular form factor still now when bigger laptops can be made lightweight and thin as well? Is it because women have smaller hands?

I think (without endorsing this position), that it's because most people assume trans men would just compete in "female" competitions.

To me the truth of the matter is that this is a very complex issue with no simple answers. People altering their physiology through hormones obviously can give them advantages or disadvantages that others don't have. As can having different hormone mixes when growing or through puberty. As indeed can a myriad of other genetic factors.

I honestly can't think of a way to make this fair. Do you have any suggestions?

I think an individual microservice is easier to grok and debug, but I also think a system made of microservices is harder to understand and debug. Depending on scale this is a bit of a wash to me, YMMV.

The real magic is that even if you can bribe 5 people and discover their point, you don't gain any information: there is an infinite number of degree-6 polynomials that go through 5 points, so you don't know which polynomial is the correct one. With this method it's either "you have it" or "you don't", there's no step in between.

Questions linger decades after River Valley cleanup (2017)
Wow that’s crazy, I’ve revived my daughter probably 20 times with CPR. 99% of the time we just do the breaths, haven’t had to break a rib yet, so I guess it’s more PR than COR. You get pretty good at giving breaths when your two year old needs it or she’ll die I suppose. You just do what you have to do and blow through all the spit and human fluids to get air where it needs to go.

Despite knowing what to do and it being almost muscle memory at this point, it’s always harrowing to try to bring someone back, and my adrenaline still pumps with a big sigh of relief when her eyes flutter open and she starts crying.

Don't want to get into an argument about crypto currencies, but the value proposition of BTC is different. What is not replaceable by a simple DB is it decentralization and resilience to attack, its resistance to seizure and its incorruptibility in terms of maximum supply (the digital gold / store of value narrative).
Many times naming products is overemphasized here. In this case, though, the hard tie between "ripple" and "token" does make for some potential confusion. The cryptocurrency Ripple also has a strong tie to the word "token". Googling for "ripple token" or variations will be hard if you're looking for this thing.

Behavior is often determined by incentives. Today one of the quickest ways to get positive attention, affirmation, encouragement, etc is to be a victim. For real victims who would've been stigmatized in the past, like people with mental illness, this is great. However it also means everybody has a low-risk/high-reward incentive to portray themselves as victims in almost any scenario too.
What does "proper resolution for MacOS" mean in this case? There are tons of 27" 4k that work fine in macOS in Retina mode and matches the medium tier iMac (their low end today is still 21.5" 1080p). Unless you declare everything below 5k subpar, I don't see where you're coming from.
>and they are likely doing significant mining behind the scenes controlling much of the market.

I don't get it, how does "controlling much of mining" allow them to control the market? It does give a bunch of bitcoin to play around with, but it costs money (electricity, manufacturing costs) for them to mine them, so depending on their margins they'll be less impactful than a whale who loaded up on cheap coins a few years ago.

I enjoy having a high quality display for all kinds of reasons. Better comfort while programming, accurate colour representation while looking at photos, having a good sense of what things might look like for others (accurate colour means you might be the middle ground of your users experiences, inaccurate colour means you can’t be sure at all), and otherwise, if I’m going to spend a lot on something I’ll own for half a decade I would prefer to get something accurate. The price difference isn’t sufficient enough to justify saving a little bit to have a poor colour experience.
For the same reason we spent a year testing COVID vaccines. You don't want to put something of unknown effect into your body. You especially don't want to put something unknown into everyone's body all at once. It's not "good vs. bad" it's "safe vs. not safe". It's also about emergent properties that aren't apparent until you've hit a certain scale.

Fish with plastic heavy diets have more tumors and liver problems. It would be pretty shocking if there wasn't an inflection point at which we see some heavy consequences for humans as well in terms of plastic concentration. Maybe we won't reach that level practically for a long time, maybe we will. I lean towards thinking we won't see too drastic of a consequence in the next 200 years (not backed up by anything) but I'd still say it's definitively a problem.

Most allyship is performative.

Social justice circles are rife with rituals that incentivize faking it.

Then compound that with an atmosphere where you're practically forced into repeating whatever dogma they throw at you at some corporate HR diversity meeting. They lead with the DiAngelo/Kendi line "you're racist and any defense is evidence you're racist".

And people are suprised about "performativeness"?

Nevermind the white liberals with the same affect of fundamentalist Christians going to penance. It's all fake.

I think it’s an innovation by the diversity guild complex - the end game is to simply receive “equity” in the wealth that other peoples’ enterprises have created. Not a minimum living standard, not an opportunity, not a hand out, not a safety net, not a wage, but an equity stake that will obviate the need to strive for anything. (Probably not a literal equity stake, but rules that force all enterprises to continually just give wealth and power to certain parties.)

> huge amount of media/news stories driven by fear which leads to a generalized anxiety and depression about basically everything.

Are we so fragile that we can't handle the general anxiety and fear that stems from such articles. I think we humans have been having these emotions since the beginning of time. They ensured our survival in past and today we have far better techniques to manage these emotions.

The thing is fear and anxiety have been turned into hallmark of negative emotions by our society. As far as I understand those emotions are necessary for our survival. They are the pointers that something isn't working in individuals life and change is needed. Fear and anxiety throws a man into action. I think we should stop putting good/bad labels to human emotions. If they exist, they are serving some purpose. Embracing and facing them will improve the life of individuals and society as whole.
