Ask HN: Has anyone leveraged revenue share investing for their seed round?
Hey HN,

I've been working on a side project and think that I may have come across a really good idea for a product. I estimate that with ~8 months of full-time work I could release it for initial users. Unfortunately, I am not financially stable enough to afford to go that long without income.

I know that this is traditionally where startups turn to FF&F for seed funding in exchange for equity. However, I am uninterested in the hyper-growth that the VC money raising cycle requires.

I've heard quite a bit about revenue share investing (e.g. 5X a $50k raise paid from 20% of profits over 48 months) and was wondering if anyone has experience with this particular investing vehicle for the FF&F seed money round. It seems like a good balance between not having enough for a traditional bank loan and being uninterested in selling equity. Any literature/links would be greatly appreciated as I'm having trouble sourcing any for this particular topic.

Thank you for your time!

I saw in your post history you're also paying $2000/mo for health insurance. Maybe you're not making the wisest financial decisions? There's no world in which a rational person pays that much given the data and available plans. Even an ACA platinum plan (the top one) with zero employer or government subsidy is cheaper than that. I just looked and a Platinum plan in CA for a family costs $1400.

It's not only about memory size, but the speed of processing too.

Higher level protocols would signal an error, and require a retransmission until no error is detected.

However, "majority rule" does indeed sound like an error checking mechanism designed by a non-engineer (or non-mathematician) commitee.

>>> That dependency was a large part of Nestle's strategy in providing baby formulae in Africa. They would supply each new mother with - if I'm not mistaken - one month or three month's worth of formulae. Just enough so that she would stop lactating, but require them to now purchase many month's worth of formulae at prices that they really could not afford.

> FWIW there were widespread, decades-long boycotts of Nestle due to their baby formula marketing:

Still, 35lb or so of pulling effort to activate the handle. It's like trying to drag a 4yo kid with both hands, except the handle is much thinner.

It all does look like a bigger deal of the front seat misfire. Also from the investigation report (linked in reply by altgans) it seems that there was an issue with misinflation of the raft.

You're right that such a thing is common, but I don't get the "fake question" vibe at all - sincerely, I don't. Maybe the parent is committing that sin, for all I know, but to assume so seems unnecessarily hostile. It's not worded particularly provocatively, and the question of the direction Elon would take the platform and whether it could really be the beginning of the end, for some definition of end, has genuine value.

I think it's more complicated than that: a country can't become self-sufficient in the long term if the majority of its population either flees or starves to death in the aftermath of an ecological disaster. You need foreign food and medical aid in that sort of situation, because your domestic capacity can't possibly grow to fit the needs.

Similarly for little things like soap: they're essential for basic health, but economically they fall into the "discretionary purchases" bucket. If the people being supplied by this nonprofit don't have the discretionary income to purchase locally-manufactured soap in the first place, then you're not curtailing any amount of domestic industry by providing it to them for free. Counterintuitively, you're promoting long-term domestic economic security by ensuring that more children make it to productive adulthood.

(All of this not to say that things like clothes donation's can't hurt the recipient's economy, which they certainly can. But I don't think that cynicism is warranted in this case.)

> People created and exhibited erotica then for pretty much the same reasons they do today.

That description sounds overly simplistic to me. The mode of life and condition of things was very different. I assume the role and power of women in Roman society would be substantially different than it is today. It is not unreasonable to think it might be for completely different reasons. For example, in most parts of the world 200 years ago, a woman being topless would not be sexualized but it is today. If I'm not mistaken there's temples in Asia where there are sexual scenes depicted in sculpture form, and it is entirely plausible that people would not think of that as 'erotica' whereas the same modern population around those temples today would be very likely to have a completely different viewpoint if those sculptures were made today.

I'm honestly not sure what you are referring to.

FAT is a requirement of UEFI though, isn't it? So if you can boot from the drive, you can't rely on it to have the filesystem integrity preserved at the disk level.
that was my thought too. the general principle hasn't changed, just the understanding of how much divergence is necessary before the branches are truly separate.

what's surprising is that it took so long to realize that.

we only need to look at dogs to see an immense variety that is still interbreedable.

and if dogs can, why not sharks or bears?

i think the only reason we don't don't see that more often is because they each live in different habitats and opportunities for interbreeding are rare.

i expect genetics will be able to give a better answer as to how much variety is needed before interbreeding no longer works.

I did watch the video. It was a little thin on details, but appears to be a charity, run by volunteers, funded by donations. Like a scaled up soup kitchen in America.

It's a nice setup, I wish them well with it.

I noticed the host did not chip in to wash dishes or make a donation, though he may have off camera.

They serve 50,000 meals a day in a country with 1,380,000,000 people. That's a long way to go to demonstrate it will work for society.
In either case, a temperature scale that goes from 0 = “ice on the roads won’t melt it anymore” to 100 = “watch out, heatstroke time” is eminently reasonable for measuring temperatures that humans experience personally.

I understand Celcius is better for times when you want to do math, such as when you are figuring out how many joules it is going to take to boil water for your morning coffee, in the manner that any perfectly normal human being does on a regular basis. Why, it’s just as natural as consulting the periodic table so you can the use nutrition fact Dara on about sodium to estimate the impact of swapping out unsalted butter for salted in your recipe. Which I have done. Once. (It was a very small impact.)
People don’t have to be acting in bad faith for their biases to shine through. It’s quite possible for authority to be acting in good faith and lack the insight to see some break through.
How long is a string? That question is just as easy to answer as the one you posed.

It leaves out a very important part of processing illness: knowing what happened.

When people are sick they want to know “what’s wrong with me.” When given medication they want to known how the medication works.

Unexplained healings are better than being sick, but not as good actually knowing what was wrong with you.

For example, someone has 6 hour episode where they detach from reality and have intense hallucinations. What are these hallucinations? Repressed fears? Forgotten desires?

These hallucinations are possible the most intense phenomena this person will ever experience. What do they mean?!?

The real upside is that psychiatrists have the humility to say “we have no idea how this works.”

The downside is it leaves room for pseudo-experts to peddle whatever trash they want.
As someone close with a two-spirit person, this is the most offensive and ignorant thing i’ve seen on this topic by far.
You bought a non-ECC part from Intel and some memory from a (different) vendor, and the memory flipped a bit.

Do you have any evidence or reason to believe that memory error was outside the advertised error rate for the device, or due to some other wrongful conduct by the vendor? And how would you connect that to wrongful action by Intel which contributed to your damages?

I'm no lawyer but I suspect your case is not quite the bargaining chip that you seem to believe.
Can you tell me what about your web searches didn’t align with what the parent said?

All I’m trying to say is not to post the most low hanging of fruit. Something to the tune of “I’ve looked & you appear to be incorrect” is much better than “receipts?”

>> must keep for at least 3 decades

> Most storage mediums won't have problems lasting that long if they're stored well. Particularly flash and SSD storage shouldn't take issue: tape and HDD has a small chance of mechanical failure even if you don't use them.

I think you're overstating the durability of these systems.

I saved most every HDD I've used dating back to the early 90s. I wanted to get rid of the box of drives, so I got an adapter and tried to see what I could salvage from them before throwing them out. Ages varied from about 8 to 28 years. None of the ancient drives (>15 years) worked. I could usually hear them spin up, but I couldn't get anything off them. Several had the dreaded click of death present. I got some of the newer (<12 year old drives) to work. Even the newer 8 year old drives had really high failure rates. They were all working when I pull them out of service.

My old USB flash drives have also had high failure rates for me.

From my experience, expecting an HDD that isn't in use, to go for more than ~5 years totally idle is asking to lose the data on it. The data might still technically be there, but the mechanical+electrical system that makes up an HDD does not have high longevity.

To the original question. I actually just researched this topic extensively to make purchases for my back up systems and my conclusion is: If I really want data to go 30+ years. I'm using archive grade Blu-ray discs (M-disc and LTH). I burn multiple of the data I want, and I store them in dark places at separate locations.
Totally agree, tough I am not sure that all shells that pretend to be POSIX really are.

But it is a minefield, it is way to easy to sneak-in a bashism because you are so sure it is POSIX that you didn't check, made worse by the fact that if you are writing shell scripts, you are probably using an much more liberal interactive shell all day long. And your script will work and no one will complain until you try to run it on another system.

It is not entirely unlike client-side web technologies, where you have to check for browser compatibility. For the web, it is a recognized problem and there are plenty of solutions to deal with it: jquery, babel, etc... I am not aware of such tools for shell scripts, or maybe just analyzers that check for posix compliance.

Tankage for what? Tanks for things like compressed air might be cheaper, but round trip energy efficiency is much lower (50%ish) than batteries.

It will be interesting to see how sodium ion batteries will compete since their alkali metal is far more abundant than lithium, especially in stationary applications that don't need high energy/mass or energy/volume.

I start with two words that use all the vowels plus Y, and the most common consonants TNLR etc. e.g. AUDIO ENTRY then to save having to mentally step through all the possibilities (the least fun part of wordle) I use a word finder that takes the letters in the word, the letters not in the word, and any green letters in the right place to produce a list of the remaining possibilities.
Huh. Am I alone in thinking that hard mode (must reuse previous letters) should be the only option? Being able to choose a completely different word to fill in the gaps seems overly easy... (There's still luck, but it's vastly easier).

Howdy – Windows Hello style facial authentication for Linux
I looked over the bios of the faculty at the Berkeley graduate theological union recently (in hopes of finding someone to talk to about these issues), and was disappointed to find that they seem to have almost no one with an interest in mysticism or psychedelics -- something a little surprising considering Berkeley's storied psychedelic past and radical reputation. They seem to be generally pretty conservative in theological interest and academic (in the ivory tower, bookish, non-practical sense). I hope that I was mistaken or that it changes as they become more educated and aware, and maybe even acquire some personal experience with psychedelics.

I personally do not understand how someone interested in religion could not be interested in mysticism or psychedelics, as they almost literally put the golden chalice in your hands and can bring to life all those things many academics merely read about.

Even if mystical experiences occasioned by psychedelics aren't genuine (as Zaehner argued in the 60's -- arguments likely to be rehashed endlessly), they at the very least raise many questions of supreme religious importance and countless people do interpret their experiences in a religious/spiritual light.

With church attendance falling for decades now, with more and more people disavowing religious affiliation and identifying themselves as "spiritual but not religious" or outright atheist, you'd think more religious people and academics with a theological bent would take an interest in substances that pretty reliably cause mystical experiences, but they seem to be mostly ignored and the religious side of academia mostly seem content to cede the field to the scientific and medical establishment.

I hope the BCSP and other forward-thinking organizations can start opening people's eyes to the religious potential of psychedelics, because feedback and insight from religious professionals of all kinds could be very valuable.
The first thing that crossed my brain after reading the title was:

"It's almost impossible to buy a new one. How you improve the security of something you can never get access to?"

Didn't realize how frustrated I was with their perpetual lack of stock for Pi4 until now. Wow!

On topic: I am really happy they are taking security seriously. That is a genuine improvement, and a trend that I wish more vendors took seriously.
We just (a week or so ago) added the ability to remove it. You can now configure samba with:

This reminds me of 1998. I was in college and working at a mid sized business replacing a dumb terminal system on a VAX with a nice NT based GUI. I mocked the TUI. So antiquated running off a minicomputer.

We rolled out the PCs and updated software and salespeople’s and CSRs’ productivity was killed. They could fill in the screens on the old system before it finished painting.

The new one had the same “screens”, but flipping to the mouse and back was awful. A year later the vendor finally got everything straight with the keyboard (tab order, hot keys, etc). But it still took longer to render and blocked input and was generally awkward.

I set them up with telnet on their PCs back to the VAX. New folks found the GUI easier, but experienced users still hated it.

Eventually the vendor required moving the DB off the VAX and the TUI was dead.

I had started building web UIs by then. Thick clients were already becoming passé. But that experience really has stuck with me.

The tech you use doesn’t actually matter at all. Enabling people to work faster, better, easier is what matters.

Sometimes a short-term but steeper learning curve is better in the long run. Sometimes ease of adoption is more important. And sometimes the tech doesn’t change the fact that a tool just sucks.

Good tech becomes an extension of human ability. I love vim and awk. I’d rather write documents in troff or LaTeX w/ git. But I also love Pixelmator and actually even outlook these days. I feel awkward without them.

Interestingly, as I type this, I can’t think of a single web UI that I have that unconscious relationship with.
