I'm beginning to think that there should be tier's of investor protection that get activated by numbers of complaints or similar metrics. Similar to what we've seen at county-level pandemic restrictions.

Right now all we have are pendulums that swing to overfit against bad behavior, and then swings back the other way because they made it too costly for good actors to participate at all.

IMO. No serious investor will give money to a company where someone who owns 40% of the equity is no longer involved and/or left on bad terms. Having him around but not active is going to limit how the business raises money in the future.

I agree that most SPA apps do it badly too, but hiding the opportunity to do it well certainly does not help.

> there is no state and it should thus be safer and quicker to reload the page should things go wrong.

That's not exactly true since there are non-idempotent HTTP methods and while the browser will prompt you if you want to resend a non-idempotent HTTP request when refreshing a normal form POST I don't think that turbo/turbolinks/similar will allow you to prompt or resend.

On refresh should turbo retry a POST? The "right way" is to keep the state of the last POST and prompt the user for confirmation, but it seems like it is undocumented as to what it does. I'm guessing it either does not retry or it retries and hopes effect will be idempotent.

No one (SPAs, traditional webpages and "spiced" webpages like this included) is doing everything right, but my objection to this framework is that it seems to try to say things are simple or easy when they clearly aren't.
I don't have any confidence that the other founder would ever honor the 3% arrangement in any form given their past behavior.
I'm not a lawyer and don't know what I am talking about, but even if the other co-founder fired them, couldn't they file a wrongful termination suit since them being fired at this point would clearly not be due to performance, but due to the co-founder wanting to fuck them out of their shares?

I may be vindictive but I would not walk away, and would rather see the whole venture tank than get blackmailed into giving away a year of my work for free.

This person is almost certainly not that intimately familiar with Jeff's private life. Take this with a grain of salt.
The narrative was that Ripple was going to become the protocol used by banks to transfer money around, especially across borders.

The pitch was that Ripple, the company, was going to sell XRP, the cryptocurrency, to the general public in order to fund all of their growth. Then, when banks ostensibly adopted XRP for their banking needs, the banks would be forced to pay exorbitant amounts of money to buy the artificially-scarce XRP from all of the speculators who got in early.

Everyone conveniently ignored the fact that large banks are not dumb, and they had no real reason to use a currency literally invented out of thin air to power their transactions. If banks really wanted to use cryptocurrency to trade among themselves, they'd obviously just roll their own cryptocurrency. Or they'd just copy-paste the permissively licensed Ripple code and call it something like BankCoin. No one could ever give me a good reason why banks would have no choice but to buy up arbitrary XRP from general public speculators.

The NoSQL trend was so terrible. Anyone starting out right in that time frame where mongo and other NoSQL DBs were getting popular was really done a disservice.

I sit in design meetings all the time where people with <5 years experience go out of their way to avoid using a relational database for relational data because "SQL is slow". They will fight tooth and nail, shoe-horning features in to the application which are trivial to do with a single SQL command.

I helped out on one project lead by a few younger devs who chose FireStore over CloudSQL for "performance reasons" (for an in-house tool). They had to do a pretty major rewrite after only a few weeks once they got around to deleting, because one of their design requirements was to be able to delete thousands of records; a trivial operation in SQL, but with FireStore, deleting records requires:

> To delete an entire collection or subcollection in Cloud Firestore, retrieve all the documents within the collection or subcollection and delete them. If you have larger collections, you may want to delete the documents in smaller batches to avoid out-of-memory errors. Repeat the process until you've deleted the entire collection or subcollection.

> Deleting a collection requires coordinating an unbounded number of individual delete requests.

Turns out, once they started needing to regularly delete thousands-millions of records, the process could run all night. Luckily, moving over to CloudSQL didn't take very long...
Play or not to play, that's the real question. :]
> And for actual ducts you'll want to use foil-tape because temperature changes wreck the adhesion of duct-tape, then the moisture leaks into the walls/ceiling which is $$$$ bad.

The FSF is too dogmatic.

I love this page:

"Debian's Social Contract states the goal of making Debian entirely free software, and Debian conscientiously keeps nonfree software out of the official Debian system. However, Debian also maintains a repository of nonfree software."

So shipping free software isn't even enough for admission to the FSFs special club. Right. I've stopped listening to anything Stallman says.

No, the argument has never been "replace all JS with static HTML/CSS". The argument is "JavaScript frontends are becoming unnecessarily bloated, slow, and complicated, and we can do better". Solutions like the one Basecamp is proposing with Hotwire include pushing as much rendering logic as possible to the server, where you're using a language like Ruby for logic. Nobody thinks you can just remove all logic from a web application unless it's literally just static content.

And even with Hotwire, you're not getting rid of JavaScript entirely. You can write it with Stimulus. The idea is just that frontend web development has become a mess, and it's possible to simplify things.

Disagree.
See my reply to the sibling comment.
If he owns > 50% he can dilute you to whatever he wants. But, if he owns less than 50%, then he'd need to get voting control to do it. Is that possible? Do you own enough to prevent it? If so, I'd just tell him you're not interested.

If he controls the Board, then he can do pretty much anything. He can create more shares and give them to himself (that would possibly create tax issues, so he might not want to do that).

Also, I'm curious how the stock is valued. Do you know that?

My father worked for GM as a tool and die maker. They had a program once where employees could submit ideas for efficieny improvements and would get a reward of 10% of the savings (or something along those lines). There was some process whereby parts were coming off the line and 100% needed additional work for final install (I believe it was hoods of Impalas or something). My dad had proposed this change to the stamping that would have made this extra work unecessary and had calculated a savings of nearly $30 million given the number of Impalas built, the hours needed for the part and the average wage of the employee. Management blew him off and low and behold, a few months down the road he was asked to build the tooling for the change. He is not $3 million richer.

I don't think I've ever met someone who has campaigned against random DUI checkpoints. You're not allowed to leave until you've completed the DUI-test at the checkpoint. There was no evidence for a crime. So under most definitions of "detained" or "detention", it seems to fit the bill.

I've heard that DUI measures can be too strict or that gaining a criminal record from DUIs is too harsh, but never really heard complaints about police enforcement of this particular issue. (DUI leading to jailtime is more of a judge / jury issue than a police officer issue anyway).

Is there an example of a cryptocurrency company that isn't centralized?

You need to use centralized exchanges in order to buy in or cash out. Even small entities trading on platforms like LocalBitcoins need to adhere to KYC laws.

If you were to use cryptocurrency as actual money, I can't see it being cost effective, legal or convenient to only trade with fly-by-night currency exchangers in South America in order to buy and sell cryptocurrency "anonymously".

I noticed something funny when going through it in a Tesla for the first time. The three parts have slightly different inclines, and the transition between them is sharp.

Don't remember exactly, but I think the first part is uphill, then flat, then downhill. You can see it very clearly on the performance monitor. There's also the built-in curves, of course, but I guess that's pretty standard road tunnel engineering.
The problem with this is it probably would allow the government to pick winners via political favors, which would almost assuredly happen in the present climate if even remotely possible.

The best quests in the game are the ones that are mostly dialog with characters. Many of those were quite fantastic, in my opinion. The shooting missions were definitely the dominant ones and underwhelming, but the dialogue-centric ones are what made me play to the end and ultimately I was not disappointed.

Nah, that sounds pretty cool. I'd play something like that. Especially since as I said above, the interaction-heavy quests were the best ones.

The world my child grows up in is increasingly controlled by technology. You can't really understand your toaster, your car, your printer, or your democracy without understanding the software which power them.

When my parents were growing up, they could take things apart, tinker, and understand them as deeply as their hearts desired and intellects allowed them to. They could modify books (with pencils), archive them (in their basements), and even quote exerts. Building radios or modifying cars were mainstream hobbies.

I'm okay if your IP laws restrict my right to distribute copies of your work. I'm not okay with a copyright regime that makes it illegal for me to reverse-engineer and understand the software which controls my life, to tweak my car, or to understand my phone.

There's a possible dystopia where elections are de facto controlled by secret algorithms at Facebook, where all my information comes from a Google phone with a locked-down infrastructure I can't peak at or understand, where I can't record a 30 second clip of a movie to discuss it in my classroom, and where my car shuts down if I do an after-market repair.

At the time the DMCA came in, the RIAA and MPAA became major enemies of my personal freedom and my child's ability to learn.

Markets don't actually move the tokens from one wallet to another, the network specific to the currency has to do that. Since Ripple is centralized, if the company goes out of business, the network does too. You will not be capable of trading it at all if that happens.
