That's more of a shibboleth than a secret, which is literally a practice as old as the Bible - "And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."
I use coffee (just Nescafe Azera) to kickstart me in the mornings, but I stop consuming at lunchtime. This limited window acts to keep some sort of lid on the quantities I consume, as well as hopefully leaving me un-caffeinated by bedtime.
Wow, there is a potentially a lot of money at stake here. It looks like I could be eligible to join this lawsuit if it goes forward.
But statistically it is. Unvaccinated people die more. Vaccinated people die less. You can't _know_ in a meaningful sense in your specific instance, but your risk is what it is no matter what. I'm not sure what's hard about this.
> If the 15-member team is adding value alongside the maintenance, that will surely be showing up as increased ARR.

No, and this I think is the root of my point. Anything not producing AAR yet (e.g. developing a new product) has no impact on your AAR, but adds headcount, thus skewing any insight AAR/FTE would give.

So let the artificial scarcity be in vapid signaling bullshit instead of necessities you actually need to live and thrive.

They would own the 7%, and have a debt claim in the amount of the SAFE on the company at liquidation.
I only put this out there because I feel it needs to be, but we can't just put all of health-care into a single basket. Emergency medicine should be separated out of these discussions as there is no "Free Market" option, just as there is no real free market option for police or fire services.

For optional surgery or cosmetic treatment, sure. You can argue a free market option, but that's why I always think there should be separate baskets, for lack of a better term.

It's pretty sad to say this, but the vast majority of Angel investors are hobby investors, not investing at any degree of "scale". And most often, let's be honest, these "investments" should be considered grants to the founders, or perhaps lottery tickets with the expectation of full loss of value, and not really any expected return. It is pretty much crazymaking, as you put it.

But to the point above about losing the "investment" in acquihire situations. The loss is primarily caused by the fact that the investment vehicle is an unsecured non-debt obligation. Which means that there's really nothing to protect the investor in the situation where there's no conversion. If the Acquihire company had instead raised a priced round (the old Seed Series priced round) instead of a SAFE, the investor would be protected. SAFEs should really be "bridge" investments when there is an expected conversion opportunity in the short-term. Not for indeterminate conversions that may or may not ever happen. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the SAFE note (and convertible debts) originate with the idea of bridge loans, since that makes complete sense in that situation.

Indeed, it's the combination of the hobbyist investor and the Uncapped SAFE notes that are not the best combination. Only sophisticated, at-scale investors should invest in Uncapped SAFE notes, and they can then be prepared for the expected downsides.
My entire argument is, on average there are way too many dead comments around and I would rather recommend to people using comments as exception where the code is not clear enough, to decrease the burden of maintaining them and rather focus to keep the proper higher level documentation up to date and readable.
Interesting. Here in the UK, Delta wasn't too much of a concern. I suspect because the public messaging was much more focused on getting everyone vaccinated.
Unlikely to ever find a gp - Victoria Bc
Had you gone to the emergency room in lower areas of New York, you would have been accepted through triage (but not "admitted overnight"), given an EKG, given an albuterol nebulizer treatment, told to continue these treatments every 2 hours at home until feeling better. If the nebulizer fails to help your breathing at that interval, you would be told to return. And if you developed pneumonia, you'd be given an antibiotic.

How do I know? This is exactly what happened to my wife.
I think you are reading way more into my response than I wrote. I literally rephrased a position specifically about the government's communication of booster shots in the form of a question highlighting the illogical portion of the position.

* I have not made and continue to not make any statements regarding mask communication, nor about reports on reasoning for that.

* I am not engaging in nor countering absurd conspiracy theories

* I am not broadcasting my feelings and thoughts on political purposes and what I do or do not see to you, so I don't know why you think you are capable of surmising what I can and cannot see.

* I do find hilarious how very angry you are that I pointed a logical inconsistency.

>> The govt has rules for borrowing from the capital market

Yeah it does. The UK govt has had 6 different sets of rules in only the past 10 years.

The current rules followed by Rishi Sunak are actively opposed to what you say - he’s been celebrating beating borrowing forecasts of the OBR by £26bn, and he makes a big song and dance any time he can stating excessive public borrowing is immoral. He found the magic money tree instead…

The scope of quantitative easing has increased massively since it was introduced. On top of this, the bank of england does not publish a report on which govt bonds have matured - but we know some have already without having been sold.

So, the govt borrowed from the govt (bank of england bought out uk govt bonds held by non govt entities) then held them to maturity (so the govt paid the govt back), while remitting the coupon payments back to the govt. All while we can’t see inside the machine - none of this is available via public reporting.

It’s not quite “printing money” but it definitely qualifies as a magic money tree.

It’s how govt’s corona responses are paid for today and it’s the reason NHS funding is constrained not by tax receipts but by policy, political decision.

I encourage everyone eligible to protect themselves by getting vaccinated but vilifying people who make unhealthy choices is never an effective public health measure. We should have learned that from the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Wait, why would a really skinny mug keep coffee hot longer than usual? Wouldn't that mean more surface area to cool a given volume. Ideally, you want a spherical coffee cup (impracticalities of that aside)

Edit: Nevermind, its the cooling surface of the top of the coffee directly exposed to air. I'm just over here thinking about spherical chickens in a vacuum...
This. You have much cheaper ways to validate than building something without talking to people.
This is such a good change. Fundraising is such a time sink for founders that it takes time away from everything else that matters. I went through YC in S20 and only raised $500k and that helped our team go through without the need for additional funding for almost two years.
Hello, author here.

I realize the color palette might not be the most readable as I tried to use my "signature palette". Anyway I did check the contrast, and it passes the recommendations I found. If you can pin point a place where it does not, I'd be happy to fix it.
This is an artifact of the refusal to admit that SARS-2 is an endemic respiratory virus. If you have to isolate whenever you encounter a possible COVID exposure, it will always be untenable to be able to actually function as a society. We need to go back to the way it always was in pre-COVID times: you stay home when you're sick, but you don't drop everything and stop the world if a friend of yours gets the flu, or adenovirus, or any of the other 4 circulating hCoVs, etc
2 weeks? Didn't the CDC change it to 5 days?
Strange thread
The ML/DS positions highly competitive these days. I don't get why ML positions requires hard preparations for the interviews more than other CS positions while you do similar things. People expect you to know a lot of theory from statistics, probability, algorithms to linear algebra. I am ok with knowing basic of these topics which are the foundations of ML and DL. But I don't get to ask eigenvectors and challenging algorithm problems in an ML Engineering position at the same while you already proof yourself with a Masters Degree and enough professional experience. I am not defending my PhD there. We will just build some DL models, maybe we will read some DL papers and maybe try to implement some of those. The theory is the only 10% of the job, rest is engineering, data cleaning etc. Honestly I am looking for the soft way to get back to Software Engineering.
I'm still pissed that in California we handled the possible in-between steps so clumsily.

My 2020 Roger Waters concert was canceled. Sure, that made sense -- 15,000 people all packed inside the venue. But at the same time, my hairdresser was shut down, not even a single customer at a time allowed. Made no sense to me.
I have two Thinkpad X230T 2nd Gen i5 (T stands for touchscreen, it has a swivel capacitive touchscreen and a stylus) They don't have webcams (they have space for it but these being refurbed office models they were probably sold without webcams installed. But I have a seperate 360p webcam in some drawer should the need arise.

The one I'm using right now has windows 10 (no W11 support ;p), the other has chrome OS. (but only one charger sadly, original battery and charger are a pain in the butt for me to find).

These are perfect for my casual needs, and If I need anything extra, I have a refurbed Thinkstation S30 with a quaint Quadro 2000 card (no prefix). (It has no w11 support either, heh)

My real issue is battery (even the chrome OS one has ~2 hrs battery, I really thought the lightweight OS would help but hasn't) and inability to play x265 codec files. Backlit keyboard would have been nice but eh.

But with an SSD and and 8gb ram upgrade, it's a dream to use, it's a nice compact size, the keyboard is amazing, and it has decent port selection. I don't game or edit videos or whatever, and I'm never far from a charging point (the charger is a slim tube thing, so takes barely any bulk) so I'm not sure why I would need more for quite some time, as long as nothing is physically wrong with it.
Minor correction: it's actually nearly a 2% chance of dying (1.7%), after Delta became the dominant variant. Folks never really upgraded their talking points but subjectively 2% feels _much_ higher than 1%.
The amount of money that's flowing into the VC since the pandemic is insane! [1] Thanks to Fed's unlimited QE, investors can borrow almost free cash from the feds and pour them into the VC funds for investments. Great times to be an entrepreneur! However, this reminds me of the dot com bubble years. When is this going to end? A lot scary to think about the consequences if that were to happen...

For crying out loud man...

If you are sick, stay home. Don't infect your colleagues, don't infect your patients. Its not that hard.

---

The fact that you're arguing for the opposite is incredibly callous and reckless of you. Its like the pandemic has removed you of common sense.

That's literally why we have paid sick leave. Having 5% of your workforce stuck at home is better than those people coming in and infecting _EVERONE ELSE AT THE OFFICE_.
That depends a whole lot on a lot of details not presented, I believe.

For instance - did the founder have an explicit plan to do this in advance? Did they materially misrepresent their intentions to the investor while having this plan, with the intent to receive funds they otherwise would not? Was the investor concretely harmed by this misrepresentation?

For instance if the investor still profited, it would be very difficult to argue fraud - not impossible of course. If the founder was thinking of this plan, but never wrote it down or said it to anyone, good luck proving fraud. If the founder had never been explicit to the investor, or was never asked by the investor what their plan was, so never materially misrepresented anything (even if the investor was clearly assuming), that would also be hard to argue fraud.

Especially so if the investor had a decent amount of wealth or experience.

This is why transparency - and due diligence - are so important for all parties. And why it’s important to not put all your eggs (or even most of them) in one basket. For everyone.
Can you explain how it could be a bad deal for some - I'm struggling to understand what at all could be negative - this feels like 100% upside for the founders.
I was fooled for a bit thinking that people might be coming to their rational senses, but it does seem there is a media campaign to minimize covid.

Yeah back when we lived in Sweden, Swedes are kind of known to "take lots of breaks" and "pack up when the clock strikes 5". Between coffee breaks, lunch, and fika, people barely worked... except during those precious hours they did work — they were very productive. The idea was that you get your stuff done as much as you can, up until the next break, which was always right around the corner.
On the other hand, I can think of all kinds of issues where highly paid developers might find use for a union.

1. On-call and off-hours expectations

2. Return to Office rules

3. Whether and how pay is based on where you live

You can also imagine it pursuing things that are much more contentious and annoying.

The question to me isn't about whether unions are good or bad, but making sure you its members know and agree on the organization's purpose and purview.

Yep, county by county in the USA, as of Sept 2021, higher %age vax populations is correlated with lower case numbers.

Strangely, you can find this information in Fig 2 of this short anti-vax paper claiming the vaccine doesn't correlate with case numbers at all.

I don't blame people for being confused.

A good way to address your point would be to compare the situation to Canada.

In the province of Quebec, where we have a highly vaccinated population, the intensive care units (ICUs) in all hospitals will be full within two weeks, if the rate of transmission and hospitalization continue this way. Demand greatly outstrips supply.

In Canada, the financial incentives for hospitalization and discharge are very different. Physicians get paid by a complex mix of hourly pay in addition to a fee-for-service schedule, both paid by the government. Hospitals get paid by the type of patient they admit, and their length of stay, but not always in a straightforward way.

In Canada, because of the remuneration system, physicians are the most influential decision-makers in deciding who gets to use the ICU. Roughly, no one doesn't get admitted "because they can't pay", and no one gets admitted "because they have money" .

Since hospitals are overwhelmed in Quebec, physician's incentive would be to discharge patients rather than admit. Their hourly wage wouldn't rise if they got more patients. Indeed, there is some evidence that as ICU capacity drops, physicians start discharging patients from the ICU earlier.

I should be fair to physicians in Quebec: their behaviour reflects a deep concern about the public health emergency rather than their financial gain.

I believe that, in Canada, all hospitalized patients in the ICU really need to be there.

Source: I have been studying hospitalizations due to COVID-19 illness in Quebec, Canada, and providing forecasts to the local government since the start of the pandemic.
I used a double-linked list of gap buffers (each in its own fixed length block that can swapped out to disk) for JOE. It works great on large files, but still I would start with rope these days.

Gap buffer was appealing on really slow machines, where you are counting cycles on each key-press. If the gap is at the right position, the cycle count is very low. But you can probably do the same even with a tree-structure: you need to keep a pointer to the leaf in the abstract pointer used for the cursor.

Also I would tie in the undo system to the data structure if possible. Rope does this with copy-on-write. Every version of the file could be a different top-node, and most middle and leaf nodes would be shared between revisions.
And from your link I'm seeing "risk factors" included being over sixty five years old, which isn't typically fair to itself call a "co-morbidity".
What is the effect of this on Demo Day? Is Demo Day less relevant (since lean companies might just skip it)? Isn't the Demo Day a motivational deadline that adds value to the YC experience, so it reduces the weight of the "acceleration" part of the program?

I don't know those answers, just wondering in the hope that someone from YC comments on that.
If you delete and retype the word it is technically the same attempt and you are not being fast enough, so it is in deed a feature to practice the words you have made a mistake in in the first place.

> They have also indicated that getting vaccinated does not reduce your ability to spread the virus

That is not correct. Vaccination does reduce, but does not eliminate, transmission of the virus

“ We found that both the BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccines were associated with reduced onward transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from index patients who became infected despite vaccination.”

> equally evil

That is a very hard to defend statement...mass deportations, famine, misery and all the other staples of communism are not nearly as bad in capitalism. And if capitalist countries do this to each other, it's not capitalism per se to blame, it's other aspects of politics (imperialism, colonialism, Neo-colonialism etc.) that can be separated from capitalism. Whereas communism on its own cannot separate from its worse tenets.

Being that they're not equally evil, IMO the middle ground is better to be closer to capitalism rather than in the middle.

I personally believe in UBI, but I consider myself a liberal right winger. I believe UBI is good because it makes the bureaucracy and the government mostly obsolete except for the places it really matters: infrastructure, military, education etc. The UBI will be more transparent and automatic, people will know they live off other people's money, not "the government". And the government cannot keep robbing Paul to pay Peter with each and every bill. This should over time reduce the amount we spend on social programs, which is in line with what I believe as a liberal that wants less taxes.
Note that in California, hourly people will be getting two hours of overtime per working day. About a decade ago the unions got a law passed that overtime was after 8 hours in a day not 40 hours in a week. This ended up screwing people who had been able to move their schedule to four ten hour days.

Those are actions, they do not form a plan.

There are several ways this could end, but the scenarios that could realistically keep most people from encountering the virus have proven implausible. So while you can use maska and lockdowns indefinitely, it's not much of a plan.

Arguably boosting the entire population and waiting for the last wave to pass is a more realistic plan, even though nobody so far seems willing to admit they're planning to do this, they just are doing it.

It's also true that most governments have not been very clear about what they actually wanted to achieve or perhaps more accurately have changed the goals over time. There's a big difference between eliminating COVID vs coping, for example.
