With the assumption that you are in the US/UK/Canada etc.

This is a no to sticking around, the founders are abusing the team and they will fail unless they quickly change. Leave and get a fair compensation for another position, maybe you leaving with valid reasons will prompt them to realize they need to do better.

I don't generally say it as black and white as that simply because usually there is a lot of grey area, but in this case (based on your statements) even if you have never held a position but have a masters you are so vastly underpaid and undervalued that this is abusive treatment by the founders, pre-seed or not. If they can't afford people, they have to be more creative and forthright with people, right now they are being abusive, unfair and under handed by not having things documented in writing (even in basic English without the legalese). There are many ways they can entice people fairly and everyone takes some risk but also has a large upside potential, 0.1% pre-seed after dilution is essentially worthless even if the company makes it (which we all know the stats are slim). From what you wrote it does not appear they are not doing this properly and so you need to find a place that will.

IMO, regardless of startup size, a salary less then 50% of fair market value should never be tolerated unless you have a significant equity position (that after dilution still gives you a solid exit) and have everything in writing -- even then I'd argue for that low of comp you should be a founder or #1 or #2 employee and it should be in writing on when your salary will change, to what it will be and clear milestones with as little grey as possible.

Let me be clear, it is hard as hell to be a founder and get people on board and to pay them etc, I know I've done it more than a few times and most times without taking outside investments, and as a founder I sometimes took no pay for extended periods while eating/living poorly so I could pay someone else. So I am sensitive to their plight and struggles. However, that doesn't give founders a blank check to be douchebags to other people and promise essentially worthless equity positions with a severely below market salary. And to be clear, don't let them argue that as founders they are taking minimum wage so you should be "happy" to get more (seen that pulled, or where they just try to make you feel guilty), they are the founders with the bulk of the equity they should be the lowest paid early on.
Show HN: This Wojak Does Not Exist
Nim's ARC thing is pretty different from blackbox GCs you have to poke with a stick like Go's or JVM's. It's pretty deterministic where additional calls are inserted by the compiler, and you can use --expandArc or look at the generated C.

As a single anecdote -- I've studied Rust before and it's been a while. Pretty familiar with C++ move semantics stuff. I decided to read the Rust book again while also learning Nim simultaneously; and I had an entt wrapper and graphics rendering in Nim without GC before I finished getting through the borrow checking chapter in the Rust book.
Obligatory “What I wish I knew about Git” post
>You are misunderstanding my point and injecting your own dislike for bikers where it isn't relevant.

Am I? You typed this, not me.

>They are afraid of looking like an idiot. If they ride with me I look really cool with a slick bike and low profile gear, while they are riding a walmart bike in baggy shorts with a dumb helmet, while visible to hundreds of people in cars.

How exactly did I misinterpret that? You think you look cool and knowledgeable and that's why no one wants to ride with you. You don't, and that's probably not why they won't ride with you.

>The difference is looking like you know what you're doing, and looking like you have no idea what you're doing.

People who spend gobs of money on all of that gear don't look like they know what they're doing; they look like middle aged men and women cosplaying people who knows what they're doing. It's unnecessary and nothing more than a fashion statement.

I think it's you who misunderstands how most of the world views your spandex. And I have no "dislike for bikers"; I dislike the snotty attitude some of them have about their dumb, pointless, overpriced gear that, uh... makes them slightly faster while riding down Main street I guess? When I play baseball with my 7 year old I don't feel the urge to throw on cleats and eye black.

> A big issue is that boys read less than girls overall.

Disagree. If you love to read fictions, doesn't help you at all to read tech books unless you're in it.

My hunch is, it is related with puberty. Biologically boys hit puberty late while that time girls are already on the way being matured. So it could be more about distractions during puberty. (But I am not expert in this field, need proper data to validate), May be it will be good to increasge age criteria for boys to attend school like marriage.

Another related point is, incentives in puberty. Simple thing like being good in sports make you popular in crowd. So it is more important to have proper incentives for boys for studies.

> Boys read for pleasure much less and apparently don't read as well as girls when they do: they use less challenging books and skip/skim more

Disagree. Many boys are in comics, manga, sci-fi reading than classic and fictions. In my experience, where academic curriculum is more focused on memorization boys trail behind. But they do good in competative exams where analytical questions play big role.

> Young adult books for example are targeted almost entirely towards teen girls now, and even manga or comic books seem focused on the female market in increasing amounts

This is somewhat true, specifically in states. One of the reason behind it is, marketing agencies started to target teen-age girl group heavily for whatever reasons recently.
I would personally want to see the opposite: disable PLAIN or LOGIN or HTTP basic auth methods or plaintext HTML password-entry forms, and never ever send a password without a digest challenge-response method, even over TLS. Of course first the browsers would have to implement safer alternatives:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472823

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=116047...

Why? Because I can't trust all the 100s of companies and I login to, and their 1000s of employees. I don't want them to choose storing my password securely or not. I want them to be forced to do that. Like I choose "HTTPS everywhere", I want to choose "SCRAM-SHA-512 everywhere" or similar.

It's technology that has to provide me guarantees, and user education must only complement that.

Unfortunately we are far from that. Passwords are flying plaintext-inside-HTTPS, with various risks:

* database storing passwords insecurely

* passwords being stolen on the authenticating server (either because of server being pwned or from internal eyes).

* passwords flying fully in plaintext (no TLS) in the internal network behind the authenticating server.

* self-signed HTTPS MITM attacks on already self-signed-cert websites (especially dangerous on intranet websites inside companies; you'd be surprised how difficult it is to setup proper PKI and internal CAs).
I think Intel's core offering would be value-add neutrality, which is attractive compared to building on (and competing with) first party AWS/GCP.

DigitalOcean, CloudFlare, etc would definitely have to be involved... but it's a tricky balancing act to avoid their becoming dominant solutions, at which point you would have AWS, except as a combination of companies.

Not sure how to square that circle. Maybe an extension of the Open Compute group + FRAND licensing of Apache-style preferred value add solutions on top, with Intel operating the hardware as a certified implementation? Essentially enabling MVNOs for cloud.

Intel's key distinction from foundry-less competitors, is that they can scale capacity to whatever they want, at least on older nodes. And the more volume they scale to, the more they ammortize their own costs (ie fab version of Amazon's AWS rationale).

The key would be establishing an ecosystem where innovation at the higher levels, and FRAND licensing of same, financially rewarded and incentivized players to invest in the platform.
is 1 really true? we have elections every 2 years for it. how many periods of time have we had no change in control of the senate or the house for 4 2 straight elections? what about fo 4 straight? vs how many times we've had dual term presidents?

You’re both the prettiest.

We do need to compete with production in places with lax standards. Right now it’s apples and oranges, because they aren’t including externalities and modern capitalism is addicted to “too good to be true” stories. Either they need to tax the production fairly, or we do.

How did a 16mm lens become a "telephoto"? That sounds like a fish-eye focal length to me.
Beside sport and casual cycling there is practical cycling. Functional use of bicycles as transport from A to B and back where B might be work or a shop.

Though admittedly, the weather in most of the US is unsuitable much of the time and likewise the terrain. The Netherlands is a small locale where these are not factors.

> A private key is just a very long password that is stored on disk

Absolutely 100% not. You're missing the most important aspect of PKI based authentication, the asymmetry. With symmetric authentication technologies, like passwords, the only way a user can authenticate is to hand over to the server (which might be malicious) everything that the server needs to impersonate that user.

Practically, this means that when I root the Linux server in your environment, and start up 3snake, I'm going to start collecting the passwords of every person who logs in, and I can use those passwords to escalate privileges around the network. This is not even a little bit possible in an environment where SSH key authentication is enforced.
The analogy of the question "What is life?" with "What is a computer?" bring up interesting parallels. The author defines a computer as any device that has transistors, RAM, etc that is, the computing substrate. But there were devices that didn't use transistors, but used vacuum tubes or mechanical gears (like Babbage's Analytical engine), which I think are still computers. We have some good theoretical model of computers: like Turing machines. One possible definition of a computer is any device that is Turing complete.

I wonder what such a theoretical model of life would look like.
Essential Pieces of Ghost-Hunting Gear (2017)
Very true. "Egalitarian" here is highly relative. Schools now are certainly more egalitarian than they were a few centuries ago (when barely anyone could even attend!) but they are still a long way off.

I'm optimistic that we will eventually reach a fully egalitarian future, but pessimistic at how much work is left to do.
I’ve been intrigued by Artificial Life for a while; I feel like it’s the way forward for GAI. I think the ML approach leaves out a lot of what is required to develop interesting intelligence.

The main challenges I see are:

1) With any given simulation, it’s going to take a long time before something really noteworthy emerges, and until then how do you know you’re on the right track?

2) What is the fitness function? This has always stumped me. How do you create artificial resources and competition and life and death to drive evolution?
All the things you list are accurate... Also, more 20mph speed limits on urban routes useful to cyclists. Cheap and effective for creating a more cycling friendly environment.
Are they really my only two options?
Agree 100%. JIRA is supposed to be a means, not an end itself. Half of my organization believes they are generating value by adding new issues into JIRA. JIRA helps reinforce a dogmatic attitude that the "hows" are more important than the "whys", and thus issues that could be succinctly described in 20 words get expanded into templated "given/when/then" verbiage.

One of the core Agile principles is "individuals and interactions over processes and tools". JIRA is more-or-less value neutral, but the management caste, possibly fearful of the sort of healthy conflict that comes with negotiating the priority of features and fixes, tends to resort to inputing all their information into JIRA believing that it's a substitute for actual communication.

Every Agile resource I've read has emphasized the point that nothing is equal to actual conversation between stakeholders. Whether it's JIRA or one of its competitors, when you have a tool that discourages conversations or pretends to act as a proxy for collaboration between stakeholders, you're going to court failure. Easy to blame JIRA, but it's this whole tool-based mindset.
I do care (and steadfastly refuse to play newer pokemon/animal crossing due to the save shenanigans), but not so much that I didn't buy a (used) switch with the top games (Mario odyssey, Mario kart, breath of the wild, smash) on cartridges.

I am super sad that there's no easy way to run Android (for steam link) on it, but I understand (if not agree with) Nintendo's position here. If I could play all my steam games on my switch, I'd never buy switch games except exclusives (which is most of my library anyway).

Are pandemic relief checks making UBI inevitable?
So, I think I can empathize with this viewpoint comes from, and I think it is shared by a lot of people. Talking or debating issues involving inequality is hard and it is easy to feel like the "bad guy".

But I must say, I cannot take seriously the idea that there is a "victimhood culture". It just screams propaganda/dog-whistling to me.

And "culture war" is such dangerous and empty language that is primarily used by the right to talk about the fact that historically marginalized people today want to be respected and treated as equals under the law.

Historically marginalized people who have been portrayed in the media using stereotypes for decades which has, in my opinion, lead to many well-meaning folks having socially harmful unconscious biases. Historically marginalized people who have been denied wealth.

This rhetoric is holding everyone back. Sure, culture will change as more people are empowered. Please stop calling it a "culture war". I guarantee you, people who believe others are acting as "unreasonable victims" are not good students of history. That loudmouthed girl talking a whole lot of shit on Twitter is angry for a reason, even if you don't think they are "articulating" it right. So is the Trump voter.

Reality is nuanced.
What an amazing website, wish I found it before the holidays :-) Thanks for sharing!
Some popular libraries don't work on PyPy because of their C code.
Shimano has some great technologies which make bikes easier to use. The Nexus drivetrain with belt drive is fantastic for casual cycling.

This? Let me quote the directions for the most common bike maintenance issue—A flat tire.

> "The rear wheel is removed from rear-facing dropouts. Remove both left and right side covers. Remove brake arm fixing bolts and washers. Loosen axle nut. Note orientation of the non-turn washer. This washer is used to prevent the axle from rotating in the dropout.

> "Disengage the cable from the bell crank unit. Depress the adjusting rod and pull cable end from lever. Pull lever away from axle and remove adjusting rod. Use a 15mm wrench to loosen and remove axle nut.

> "Remove bell crank unit and cover fixing stay bracket. Disengage chain from chainring and pull wheel back and out of dropouts."

Compared to on a bike with a Nexus drive train:

- Release the quick release.

- Pull the tire out and disengage the chain.

This is not simpler. Traditional bikes are already fairly simple.
Yes, this. We need BIG changes in cycling infrastructure.

My old bike commute in the Bay Area involved stupid shit like this:

https://i.imgur.com/YajWMoY.png

Having to constantly switch between pushing along sidewalk and waiting ages for pedestrian lights, dealing with broken road sensors where I had to wait for a car to come behind me and "rescue" me so the light to turn green, having to go back and forth in zig zag patterns while cars got a nice direct road (not fair) -- all that made be not want to bike, especially in the heat or rain.

Seriously, get rid of ALL parking on El Camino Real. It's mind-bogglingly stupid to have parking on a major road. Turn the remaining space into a separated bike lane.

Or just mark off 1 out of the 3 lanes on El Camino Real as a wide bike lane. Our governments are just too chicken to do that.
This is severely overgeneralized advice. Some traffic needs to be processed right now, and if it can't be processed within a narrow timeframe a failure needs to be acknowledged and handled. Other traffic can wait an hour, but needs to eventually succeed. Why conflate the two?

> What happens if that system fails to see these for whatever reason and you dont have a full-time employee monitoring dead letter queues?

"What if you fail to monitor correctly" is a bad scenario no matter the architecture, but doesn't critique message queues. Any sensible message queue will have lag and backlog metrics on subscriptions, which you can monitor just as easily as an RPC end point.
If you phrase the problem like that, there is no problem. Group 1 is tiny compared to group 2.

I think addressing group 2 is a desirable and valid goal.

Societal gender roles say nurses and teachers are women's work and STEM is man's work. That's the thing one would need to address, and at a young age. It's not entirely clear how one can do that. One "only" has to challenge the societal norms that define gender roles themselves. Not an easy problem.

> It's a cool app that can be easily updated to fix button accessibility.

Well… no, not really, because it’s not just about the buttons. I invariably find that things like this are systemic, so that individual symptoms may be fixed fairly easily, but that there are just lots of basic problems with the markup employed, all of which need to be fixed, and some of which are actually hard to fix because of bad assumptions.
Interesting, you obviously share the same anxiety I do with Google constantly messing with their services, namely photos.

Currently I am syncing my google docs locally with rclone to a raspberry pi and encrypted usb drive.

I started tinkering with nextcloud and their mobile app to handle photos. A few weeks in and the nextcloud client icon has vanished after an update on my Ubuntu machines. Nextcloud guys say it's gnome's fault...yada yada...I don't really care. It's taken the shine of nextcloud only a few weeks in.

I imagine I will incorporate your solution into my pi and see how that goes. Thanks
India’s Hindu populism will go further right.

As the vaccine rolls out in the U.S., we should slowly see at least a short term economic boost as spending increases, potentially increasing inflation.

Housing prices will continue to rise with less and less inventory, especially for single family homes.
>If healthcare professionals refuse the vaccine then why should the rest of us be vaccinated?

Presumably, you would want to be vaccinated because it provides protection from contracting COVID. If you and anyone who wants it can get personal immunity, why does it matter others do?
What do you think a just transition will look like? One person's "consumption" and growth is another's "I finally have electricity in my village, powered by solar and batteries," or "EV purchasing grew so much that the oil refinery a mile away shut down and my family no longer gets sick like they used to." What exactly does a Green New Deal look like? Massive consumption is a huge component of it.

And this is why white environmentalists are not trusted by the environmental justice community. Too much vague moralizing, not enough understanding of the plight of people who are being oppressed by the current system, or even what the current system actually is.
Added NSQ notes.
Isn't that just another point for shameless lying tho? I mean China just pretends it's over and is done with it for example. Other countries did the same and I kinda see the point, while not exactly agreeing with the approach.

The only thing you win with authoritarianism is that you can make the lie true in the public image.

A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. (They are actually enforceable sometimes, but it is much more difficult than a written contract.)

Porn is extremely toxic to the mind and soul. In my mind a drug dealer and a pornographer are in the same category. You're selling vices that destroy a person's life and mind. I'm sure I'm going to get coomers telling me pornography isn't that bad but a simple google search of "negative consequences of pornography" will show that there are many negatives to pornography. A heroin addict is willing to pay for heroin but that doesn't mean that they should be able to freely. They should be put in a treatment center, same with people who buy pornography.
You mostly cannot know. If you know someone who works there they may have some insights. Mostly it's useful as a retrospective and realizing that I may have regressed in this new job and maybe I should look for another one.

But there are things one can know such as the number of vacations you'll have.

But yeah commuting is where you have the most certainty.
You know what I meant, but in case it's needed, that's why I qualified my sentence with "autonomously". And no, a set of software/actuators to regularly plug the laptop into mains is not the same kind of autonomy, since it would just be the execution of an algorithm that a sentient being programmed. Without that, the laptop won't be subject to any necessity or pressure to harvest energy.

The problem with Pokémon isn't a dearth of new ideas (the fairy type is a great addition, as well as EXP share and several newer improvements).

The problem is there are more and better animations in Pokémon coliseum (an N64 game) than the latest release. When every move amounts to
- Move Pokémon towards opponent
- A few sparkles
there's just no reason to care about any individual Pokémon (or even type) anymore.
