I suppose the logical question is what defines justification for any tax on anything; if this can be defined perhaps we can establish reasoning for what items should be taxed and not be taxed.

I raised a seed round in March 2020. The market later in 2020 + 2021 went kinda haywire, but between March and July 2020 it was pretty rough out there. We started fundraising a week before the country went into lockdown from COVID-19.

I wrote about it here, which I recommend you read: https://www.freshpaint.io/blog/anatomy-of-a-seed-round-durin...

Some additional thoughts ~2 years later:

1. Wait if you can. Even just a few months. VCs tend to freeze up in the face of macro uncertainty. This happened in Q2 2020 when COVID was very new – nobody knew what was going to happen, so investors just paused for a few months. Then things really took off. I think we're in that "I'm not sure how things are going to shake out so I'm just gonna pause/slow down for now" period right now. Investors will get used to the conditions – regardless of what they are – after a few months. The summer is also a terrible time to raise money, so I'd suggest you wait till the fall regardless if you can. If you gotta go out now, read on...

2. If you can't land a bigger check because those VCs have cold feet (they often freeze up during market uncertainty), then you gotta raise from small checks.

3. Small checks is a numbers game, just like B2B sales. We pitched 160 investors to raise $1.5m

4. Seek momentum wherever you can. Getting forward progress from a handful of $10-25k angels is really important for your mental state, and that will flow into every new investor pitch. And it often becomes easier to raise with the more momentum your round has.

5. Be super realistic about your valuation expectations. It's not a thing worth losing a good investor over by over-optimizing on valuation. You're better off taking a little bit more dilution now and staying alive than never getting going.

6. Ignore the advice of anyone who hasn't raised in bad conditions or isn't an investor. Everyone else doesn't know what they're talking about. Even then, don't run your business off of what one person on the internet says. I feel qualified to give advice here because I raised $1.5m in March 2020, and just raised a Series A 3 weeks ago. Just don't run your business based on what I (alone) say.

We did YC as well. Think about applying if you haven't!
The main issue is that Austin, like all other municipalities in Texas, is governed by the Legislature of the State of Texas. Home rule cities in Texas have legislatively-granted broad authority but the Texas constitution doesn't protect the actions of home rule cities very much. The legislature of Texas has routinely been very fast to pass laws pre-empting city ordinances they don't like. This is in comparison to the constitutions (and constitutional traditions) of some other states where the legislature is largely expected to let local government do its thing while the legislature concerns itself with the state as a whole.

Or, put another way, Austin might be the deepest blue on the entire continent but that means little when the state government is in direct opposition, and has been for decades.

Thanks for your response in the other thread (FTR your reply was already flagged dead by the time I noticed it). I’m responding to that.

I understand your position. On your point about why people think marriage is a right… I suspect this is because, at present, many rights are coupled with marriage - visitation rights at a hospital being the classic example.
This is a natural result of placing the cutoff at conception.
Aren't you free to not read the comments?

> Isn't it better to have knowledge about software when writing documentation? I'm not talking advanced CS here, I mean basics.

I would say that’s probably about as much as you would want. The best technical writer I ever worked with went from basic computer skills to becoming an expert at deploying and configuring the database software we developed on myriad infrastructure. The newcomer’s mindset helped make the writing wonderfully approachable for anyone to read.

The process was always something like: 1) Learn how to do the thing, but ask really good questions along the way (I often reconsidered some of my own design choices from those questions) 2) Use the gathered information to write about doing the thing.
But it isn't verified by Google. Is it given to the channel? Do they have any recourse if they determine it's fake?
When you factor in cost of living, they'll probably be better off than places like the US.

20 years from now America might have $8000/month starting wages (pretax) with $5800/month rent for a broom closet and thousands of miles away from family and friends. "Poor" countries may only be paying $2000/month, but with $400 rents, $5 dining, public medical services, plus family nearby to help with any troubles you have.

People really overestimate the appeal of their countries as an immigrant destination. The luster is fading pretty quickly as the world is catching up to western standards and online work helps balance the employment scales globally, plus crime rates and conflict generally leveling out.
You make quite a few assumptions about children bringing people joy and being something they’ll love more than anything else.

That may be your experience, but people can also resent their children, especially if giving birth causes life-long health issues.

My parents never should have been parents. They were too busy, didn’t have enough money, and were physically and emotionally abusive. Their children didn’t bring them joy and they took their unhappiness out on us.
Yes, it is very possible the next step in these states is to declare it murder. I am not kidding.
the unborn have no rights. their existence is attached to an already autonomous and free human being. I can choose to kill the bacteria in my body. I can choose to kill a parasite. I can choose to kill an unborn fetus.
> The split of pro/against is really close to 50/50.

I’ve searched and I cannot find data that say half of America wants abortion made completely illegal (as it is in several states right now and will be in more shortly due to trigger laws).

Can you please share where you get your 50/50 split from?

> Roe v Wade only prevented legislation from finding a solution.

Roe only? Roe made safe abortions available to millions — it reshaped society.

If the argument against Roe is that fertilized embryos are killed, then we need to make sure in-vitro fertilization is stopped where abortion is as well.

I feel that the need to maintain an onboarding pipeline that can “ELI5” is beneficial to an organization. Prevents people from locking too much knowledge up in any individual’s head and helps with non junior onboarding as well.
As with so many things in politics, the change in the status quo is perceived as more important (or at least more salient) than an existing bad situation.

Is that fair? Not necessarily. But it’s intuitive, in terms of individuals and companies adapting to a suddenly changed playing field. By comparison, Saudi Arabia’s policies are nothing new.
I second this recommendation. Sky Guide is a wonderful app for space enthusiasts. The calendar feed does a great job of surfacing upcoming events, and even provides insights on light pollution and ideal viewing times in your area.
This is the n'th tech company today that's made an announcement similar to this.

Even Disney is going to transport workers to abortion-legal states as needed as "health benefit".

It's certainly a perk and good on Google for this one, but we're headed to a dark place if your best shot at human rights is to retain employment by a big tech company.
Because Google is an AMERICAN company, and losing the abortion right is a HUGE deal? Especially for Google employees who relocated to conservative states for the job?

Next question?
It's not quite that simple, and it's also not 50/50 (right now).

https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

There are a lot of numbers here. In short, while it has been 50/50-ish for a while, it wasn't in the 90s, and it's not right now. More people, when asked for an opinion, think abortion should be legal than not. And by about a 5-3 or 2-1 margin, more people think and have thought that Roe should be left alone, not overturned.

So I see this as a broadly unpopular decision.
You dont see much design system talk on here I thought it was refreshing subject.
99.9% of these problems could be solved by a manager doing their job, but that's the problem.
>Honestly I am surprised we are not seeing violent acts against people running these companies (Celsius, terra, etc).

Let's flip the question: what reasons do you have to expect "violent acts against people running these companies"? Sure, you have a bunch of people that are angry, but makes you think they're angry enough to follow through with the plan? Was there a spree of violence against bankers in 2007/2008?
I mean examples of laws. Like is there any state that has passed or even proposed a law saying "contraception is illegal". To my knowledge, there's not.
How else would you describe the different views of each side regarding the moral worth of a fetus?
This is definitely in the vicinity of The Handmaid's Tale ballpark of registering women for observation and tracking.
Contraceptives prevent fertilization, not implantation.

Of course that doesn't matter when legislators are not required to not lie in legislation.
Good tool though!

A major problem is those who need find a good expired domain typically can't find any good ones through these tools. I mean, if you are experienced enough, you should know the good ones will be always back-ordered by others, or scraped by millions of people around the world, 24/7 non stop, and register them immediately after seen as useful ones.

Those domain squatter grab 99.99% good domains before you can even register them, so yeah, this industry is really harsh and reality is cruel now. That being said, I hope this tool succeed!
It's not tenable to hang your fundamental rights as an individual on a political process. While it only takes one decision to remove a right, preserving the right becomes a constant, grueling battle. These legal protections are the sin-qua non of a functional democracy.
I'll mention this even though it isn't exactly the Motorola 6800: I've been doing a lot of work recently with the Hitachi 6303, which is a member of Hitachi's family of Motorola 680x alternatives. The Hitachi 6303 is featured in a lot of 80s Japanese synthesisers, particularly Yamaha's DX/TX range. The Motorola 680x series also features in the Ensoniq ESQ family of synthesisers, probably many more.

Except for #4, 5, 6, and 17, everything on this list is a con against their own clients' money:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldman_Sachs_controversies

So, no, there is no "only care about money" exception for distrusting them.

Interestingly, in 2008 there was somebody recommending their clients buy shares that they were selling themselves. I misremembered and looks like it wasn't them. Now I'm curious what investment bank was it.
No, it's not the natural result of anything. Like I said above, laws are very specifically worded in what they allow and prohibit. They are written by and for human beings. They are not computer programs which mindlessly execute every possible logical consequence.
I think it’s a textbook example of poor science communication. The words of science do not mean to the public what they mean to scientists. Further, it’s safest to assume the worst in a situation like that. I think they should have erred on the side of “assume it’s airborne.”

Unfortunately, special interests (hospitals and other medical groups) had an incentive (security of their own access to masks) to mis-state the facts.
Very American opinion you have their. It does not hold up the world over though.

Supermarkets are a bad example here because they are a critical link in the distribution economy.

> doesn't the IMF use a basket of currencies called SDRs instead of dollars

Yes, which are just claims on that basket of currencies, the U.S. Dollar being the majority currency (in the current 5 year basket 43.38% with the next closest being the Euro at 30.93%). My point was admittedly hyperbolic, but as the majority currency in the SDR basket (and the world reserve currency) the USD has both voting and trade sway as countries need it to pay debts and acquire resources.

As for governance, U.S. votes account for over 16% (the greatest shareholder of votes) with the next closest being China at 6%. In effect, the U.S. has a soft-monopoly over the basket as the stated requirements for ranking/inclusion "take into account their current prominence in terms of international trade and national foreign exchange reserves."

Combine that with the U.S. military/intelligence threat, NATO threat, and all of the other tentacles of U.S. hegemony and its currency is—for all intents and purposes—a weapon.

Something like Bitcoin is a significant enough threat that the IMF as steered by the U.S. is incentivized to dismiss it (and has [1]).

As for El Salvador's holdings, well, yeah. Even as a Bitcoin maximalist I'd think Bukele were putting his country in a dangerous position short-term if he went all in as other countries would just threaten to cut them off from resources/aid (see link which makes my point).

A full-blown transition to Bitcoin is going to need enough countries with tradeable resources to start accepting it as payment. Again, we're in the early days of the transition away from state currencies. The real battle will be when they try to rug pull everyone with CBDCs [2] (which is precisely when the intelligent but timid will realize that Bitcoin is the only option to preserve personal/state sovereignty).

I think there are (at least) two things on this topic. The majority opinion didn't agree with Thomas (no one signed on to it). Second, event under Thomas' opinion, the question becomes one of shaky Constitutional footing. If these "rights" are not really Constitutional, the issue needs to move to Congress. There is nothing that prevents Congress from crafting a law to explicitly allow anything you listed.

Also, it could be that better argumentation is needed to seat something as a right. Take gay marriage as an example. If we solely describe it as a contract (not a religious rite), then you can probably lay access to gay marriage within the Commerce clause. Married couples move around. We can't have their marriages suddenly annulled by moving within the US. We don't allow that to happen to other contracts. Yes it might require a destination wedding, but the couple will comeback with all the rights an privileges thereof.
Didn't Kavanaugh also state that Roe was settled precedent? And anyway even if he actually means what he says this time, do you think the right will be satisfied with this outcome? Or when the time comes will they replace him with a judge who will find that the constitution does in fact find that a state can bar a resident from traveling to another state for an abortion?

That doesn't sell your outlook well, since neither pregnancies nor abortions are contagious.

The principals aren’t the same. In DPoS, you literally do nothing other than lend your coins out. In PoS, you run and maintain a node that runs the rules of the network to secure it. If your node is down, you’ll leave rewards as punishment. If you run the wrong client or don’t upgrade, you’ll get slashed if any consensus rules change. You also have to pay for electricity, bandwidth, and have to have monitoring in place.

PoS is like running your own whitelabel SaaS offering.
It's not unprecedented. That was basically the premise of mandatory bussing: Force children to go schools they may not like simply to even out the racial proportion. Obviously, it didn't work.
I suspect this alignment is more about the planets being aligned from our view point, not that they are in the best configuration for pulling off gravity assist for spacecrafts wanting to use the alignment in their favor like voyager 1 and 2 did, IIRC that configuration was set to repeat every 176 years or so.

Personhood simply isn't a scientific question. There's no objective scientific criteria for personhood.

Maybe it's purely a legal question, but that's a problem given the current makeup of the Supreme Court.

If it's not scientific, not legal, and not axiomatic, then what is it?
I don't think remote work would result in bringing us together at all, quite the opposite actually. Frankly, the existing populations in the states people have been leaving for decades are very culturally different than your average remote worker. The local population will see this as cultural colonialism by coastal elites, and the remote workers will wonder why they aren't welcomed, all while driving up local house prices/rents, overtaxing the already crumbling infrastructure, and causing those places to lose their "local charm".

Not saying I agree with either perspective, but I think it's very naive to assume WFH could unite the increasingly polarized american peoples.
Great work there!!
I suppose industry specific regulation may be more direct, but if a company has a majority of employees who strongly believe in a specific social issue, such as abortion access, then couldn't it also be in the company's interest to lobby for that specific issue?

This is one of the few things Vimeo (at least used to, it’s been a while since it happened to me) does right.

I got a notice that I used licensed music and they took my video down, I appealed and my video immediately went back up during the appeal process. This all took place within about half an hour of my posting it. I sent them the email showing the artist gave me permission, and a few days later the notice was lifted. All through this process my video was only down for about 15min.

For YouTube: Freeze the transfer of the revenue on that one video until it’s resolved but keep the video up and let it still collect revenue. It’s not great if you depend on the income but it’s a hell of a lot better than losing the income entirely. This solution is much better, if still imperfect.
Their customers, not so much.
I also act in rational self interest, so I guess that makes all of my positions apolitical.

With that being said, abortion should be legal at the federal level. By your logic, this isn't a political statement.
Neat idea but the underlying data could use some improvement.

For example, the borders after Israel's several wars.

Hyperbole. You think, for a US average, that nursing comp is going to go up by 20-30%, but rents will go up by 300%?

> People really overestimate the appeal of their countries as an immigrant destination.

When the waiting list is huge, trending upwards rapidly, and many don't even bother to try because of the difficulty in clearing the list... there's pretty clearly significant demand.

That doesn't mean these trends stay true forever, but it's a fair bit of near to intermediate-term momentum.

They are a tiny minority at this point. I don't care what they want. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship.

The polls agree with me.

Edit: Republican leadership is seriously considering banning birth control and sodomy at this point, and jailing rape victims for having questionable miscarriages. I do not believe these policies align with the opinions of average Republican voters. However, this is what Republican politicians need to support to avoid being primaried.
Obama in 2007: first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act, essentially codifying Roe

Obama in 2009 (the same year he had a supermajority in the legislature): eh, that’s not so important

I have zero faith in Democrats in Congress to actually do this and all of the Republicans in Congress are vocally (or tacitly) opposed to it.

Clinton’s VP pick was an anti-choice Democrat.

I doubt there will be a federal law allowing for first trimester abortions on demand for at least a decade.

I don't know if this is a good idea, but I have seen it done. And it should have been done today, and a check is a nice touch.

Everyone that is staying leaves the office at some point early, before anyone could be thinking about lunch. They don't all leave together, some just don't come in.

There is a company wide announcement for an immediate meeting. Nearly all attending are layoffs. It's a nice touch if the CEO or President is there and says some nice things, or whomever your best aural talent is. You have them lay out the facts, thank them, wish them luck. That's it. Give them time to process and start moving at their own volitions, and respect them as civilized individuals.
