What should the government have done?
Let's say you meet someone at a bar whom you proceed to tell about your plans to build a spaceship, and the stranger says 'oh yeah, I know ships, I know space, we can definitely get a prototype spaceship done'. You believe him, with apparently doing zero due diligence. Months go by, and there is no spaceship. The stranger you met at the bar then confesses 'I don't actually know anything about building spaceships.'

Replace the location and area of expertise, and this is the same story that transpired here. Sure, the other party is a fraud, but the eponymous "chump" is not the other party, it is the first party.
I got several things out of it...

- Vet your potential co-founder more closely to make sure they have the skillsets they claim to

- Pay attention to red flags and deal with them sooner. Withholding the admin password, for example, was a clear one.

- Maybe build in a non-confrontational exit from the beginning. Sounds like the co-founder was trying to bullshit their way through it so they wouldn't lose out if the product did well. Perhaps a small amount of equity would have been an easier way to push them out?
As someone born in yugoslavia, now in slovenia (I haven't moved, the country has), i can say that it's perfectly managable, and I have no idea how americans can't do it.

Wow that was a funny read, every one of those situation is upside down in a different way.

Though the author seems to have been legitimately maligned, I suggest there's also another side to the story.

Also - I would suggest to the author to take it down. It feels good probably to get it off your chest ... but in the end these things don't win any favours or make you look good. Imagine you have 200 employees, major customers, serious business, how is that going to look? It will look small, maybe even a bit petty in the big picture. You're bigger than that now, so you can put it in your past and laugh about it with customers in the future, just not in quite such a public way. Save the abridged version for the big network interview in 10 years or whatever when it's not so ripe and it can be told from a more easy going posture, like a 'funny thing that happened' instead of out of anger.

In partnerships, I don't think it's fair to blame incompetence. After all, you're the one evaluating their competence at the beginning, and it's really your fault if you choose someone who doesn't have the needed skill. It's not their fault that they signed up for a job they couldn't do, since it's hard to see ahead just precisely what the job description is going to be. Things in startups are just that hectic, and there's a lot of learning-on-the-job and wearing multiple hats.

That's why it's so crucial to pick the right co-founders. You just gotta see through the chutzpah and do your due diligence. Once you've made the decision, you don't have much of a choice but to ride or die.

> [He] explained he didn't really know electronics and didn't understand what needed to be done.

> This was devastating.

This was a moment of honesty and vulnerability for him. To me this seems like good communication: stating exactly what your weaknesses are. I question why this was not openly shared before. Either there's some deep rooted insecurities in the co-founder or the culture at the company just didn't allow to be vulnerable.

I hope both of you find a way to move on with your lives.
It was a political stunt, poorly thought out it may have been but it wasnt a coup to sieze power. He has been fairly elected and with a sizeable majority.

You are condeming him not because of the military in parliament, but because of his links to bitcoin. So that stunt is just a smear for you, nothing to do with the actual article.

Honestly you used to be a dissenting voice worth reading for a different opinion on cryptocurrency but your posts seem to have less value over time
> Electronic media are a viable business as things stand, so you must be considering whether they would continue to be viable without the sort of laws being discussed here.

I'm responding to the parent post who is arguing we must have current laws because otherwise tv would not be viable.

The current laws might make sense. They have problems, but i'm also not super sympathetic to people who resell the work of others without adding anything to them, for commercial gain. However i dont think, without law X, industry Y wouldn't exist is ever a sufficient reason in and of itself. If that's the only reason we have for a law, then the industry is not worth it.
> There are standards for accessing more of the device that they've ignored and have chosen to treat differently.

Developers who have signed Apple's developer agreement and utilised the libraries/APIs are being held to the terms laid out in that agreement.

A website is a website.

Whether you agree or disagree with how Apple has chosen to operate their iOS ecosystem—again, I believe that reasonable people can disagree—it's certainly not unlawful for Apple to distinguish between developers who rely on Apple's work (SwiftUI, Metal APIs, etc) and developers who publish web pages with open standards without any involvement by Apple.
It's the franchisees that are being fleeced here, and they don't really have other options unless they want to drop their whole operation.
>I'm generally supportive of Apple's right to a revenue share from apps which sit on the App Store shelf and/or rely on Apple libraries and APIs

This is nothing else but Apple imposing a tax. If Apple wants to pretend it is a nation state I think regulators of actual states should take notice and treat them like the peer competitor they intend to be.
> This probably isn't a good idea because you are going to annoy your manager. Annoying your manager is not a good strategy to getting promoted.

In a different world, I would agree with you 100%. But our industry is filled with managers who only look out for themselves.

For a manager who says "If you don't do this, then you won't get promoted", this is a bad faith power move. I have learned that when a manager says this and the IC acquiesces, the manager ends up with a proverbial upper hand. Often, this asymmetry is abused.

At that point, I highly recommend the IC to cut their losses and switch. Let the manager spend another 6-12 months staffing and ramping up someone else to do the work.

1 and 3 seem to hinge on the ideas reimplementing apis is impossible without infringing on copyright for which google v oracle has already shown this isn't the case. For 1 whether dynamic linking counts is also still an unclear topic but still not relevant for the API portion. There is also the point that "and we limit the only way you can do anything on our device is via this licensed path" is different than "and these are licensed paths". Similarly it may be more steps but it still doesn't change that it's a forced contract to work on a device at all regardless if that's a direct decree or a forced path.

2 is a semi reasonable comparison but "and x does it" isn't proof "and therefore y is right". It could be that both x and y are wrong and y was just challenged first due to prevalence or that y is subtly different than x.
You don't hide the ID number, you show the card itself.

In slovenia (and other former yugoslav countries) we have a unique ID for every person here.. It's set up from the date of birth (0101021 - 1. jan. 2021), then two digits for the foreign yugoslav state (50 for slovenia), then a tri-digit counter for each birth (first person born that day is 001, and so on), and one digit for the checksum, which can be easily calculated.... so basically, with a calculator and 2 minutes of typing in the numbers, you can calculate a valid ID number.

But to open a bank account, you show the ID, which has any-copying measures (like money has), a photo, a serial number (to be cancelled if stolen), and only then the bank creates a new bank account for you. You can also use the same card to buy alcohol and travel through many european countries (no need for a passport).
I can do this too, but never thought to ask if anyone else could. How rare are we talking about?
If voter ID laws were accompanied by a strong push to make it easy to get the ID, I don’t think there’d be much pushback.

This is analogous to simultaneously outlawing abortion and making it very difficult to get good sex education in school, defunding Planned Parenthood, and underfunding the social safety net for poor mothers.

You're not following the plot here. Most McDonalds are franchises. The franchisee must pay for McDonalds authorized repair resources to repair machines they're mandated to operate. In other words the people that have to pay for the repairs don't have a choice in the matter.

So naturally they neglect it; 'sorry, the machine is down now.'
you can read today his books and forget they somehow were wroten full 20-30-40 years ago.

His books have almost every technology we have today, or we have some similar stuff, sometimes we still don't have some technology he mentions, but there are prototypes.

But the sociological aspect of the books are even more interesting.

There's a book from 1993, "Virtual Light", where a character mentions he remembers going to school and having to use mask and all sorts of cleaning stuff, there was a virus "in the air", the teacher then explained the kids the word "pandemy". The historical moment mentioned for that pandemy would aproximately be this and/or the 2030s

Just amazing.

SpaceX actually did file a lawsuit against the Air Force for awarding contracts to ULA which is using Blue Origin's engines. And lost. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-space-spacex-lawsuit/musk... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-space-spacex-airforce/spa...

To some extent this is just how the business of government contracting is done. That said, I don't think it's right and Bezos is clearly worse.

I doubt we'll see any more of these lawsuits from SpaceX for two reasons. One, their technology and execution advantage has become so overwhelming that the government can no longer justify stiffing them in contracts, no matter how many nice steak dinners the competition buys for the procurement people. And two, Elon now has the ability to raise nearly unlimited money from private investors for practically anything he wants to do, and doesn't need government money as much anymore. Which ironically lets them bid lower and get more contracts.
What pisses me off most is they have 10 years to pay off what I consider a puny settlement. I would guess their investments appreciation over that time frame could be even more than what they end up paying out. Especially if they go forward with their India misadventure.
> fill it with millions of circles (not points!) that must keep certain distances from another.

This is, at best, misleading. The objects that have to keep clear of each other are (effectively) points, and they can share orbits with different phasing. The most obvious real-world example of multiple objects sharing an orbit is geostationary orbit.

Those two are the biggest barriers to privacy so it would make sense.
I should probably know better than to moralize at people over the internet, but I feel somewhat obligated to give you my own honest opinion about this. And that is that if I were a prospective investor, I would regard this article as a red flag. It's not that you apparently ended up with someone who was a flake. That could happen to anyone. It's that you saw fit to publish and advertise a rant about them in which you chose to refer to them with demeaning language like "worthless chump" and "knobgoblin". That seems to indicate that you've taken on a level of resentment and emotional burden that may eventually cloud your judgement in other situations. I don't think it would establish the characteristic of maturity that an investor would want to see in a founder.

I would urge you not to refer investors to this article and instead just try to explain in simple terms that you felt your co-founder did not respect the timelines that were critical for your company. And list the facts, not your opinions.

Update: By the way, I'd like to add that it's clear you had a rough ride with this one and I don't feel unsympathetic. But I wouldn't want you to struggle with it any longer than is necessary. Best of luck.

What license? Where are the LICENSE files? I looked around a bit and hadn't found any after several minutes.

edit: MIT, I think. I'm not used to bitbucket and was browsing the files, but it was more easily found via commits.

I also am used to LICENSE or COPYING, but I think they're calling the files NOTICE.

> Could the Fed just not use inflation as a form of taxes in general?

In some sense, they already do that.

But it's more complicated than it first appears.

First, most of the money the Fed+government makes from issuing money comes from seigniorage, not from inflation.

Simplified a bit, seigniorage just means that the cash people hold in their wallets (and bank accounts) took the government pennies to print, but the people offered real goods and services in exchange to acquire it.

Second, higher inflation makes people hold less cash in real terms. A simple illustration: when Germany had hyperinflation in the early 1920s, some people might have carried cash by the wheelbarrow, but even a whole wheelbarrow would only be worth eg a few apples and potatoes.

In contemporary Germany with a stable currency, it's not too unusual to carry enough cash in a slim wallet to be able to afford wheelbarrows full of apples and potatoes.

So if the government+central bank want to maximize how much real benefit they get from printing money, they can't just crank up inflation. In fact, lower inflation is probably better, if you want to maximize this.
I don't understand why they can't have reasonable terms from the get go. sketchy stuff you quoted.

For any given decision, letting individuals decide what they want does not necessarily lead to a great situation for the community. Climate change-related stuff comes to my mind. We are failing to take the right decisions, and have been for decades (in my opinion). I often see people say "let the market decide" as if it were the ultimate way of deciding what is best. It's often not in my opinion.

For the topic at hand I don't think there's a good way around letting people pick what they want to study among what is available. I deeply believe they should be able to decide what they are going to study for themselves and be given the keys to take informed decisions. Nobody can know better than themselves what is best for them.

You still need to provide a sensible set of available curricula, and people don't individually have the power to decide which curricula should be available so you still need an informed group of people to decide on this, not individually. Obviously you'll probably have to close curricula which don't attract enough people so you'll have some bit of market deciding.
I can do it just fine. I think most people can.
