If you were to pay a lawyer for this, they'd most likely give you back something based on a template from their library—it's highly unlikely they'd be drafting it from scratch. So it shouldn't cost you more than an hour or two (should be under $1,000) for them to reach into said template library and "fill in the blanks." This assumes you're not running a marketplace (e.g. "Uber for X"), or a porn site, or are doing anything involving cryptocurrency, in which case it probably needs more time and attention.

If you're paying someone for incorporation services, they may have a "starter pack" of standard agreements.

In the past, I've also used templates from this book: https://www.elsevier.com/books/the-it-digital-legal-companio... But I think it's somewhat out of date at this point, unfortunately.

Any legal advice is going to have concerns that are state-specific to where you're doing business. Beware of re-using a template or an agreement from businesses that would be sued in a different place than you would. And if you're actually worried about getting sued, insurance—specifically, an "errors & omissions" policy—is going to provide better protection than anything in your T&C.
Amazing astroturfing buddy, keep it up.

It's one thing to degrade service quality for the greater good of the userbase (see spectre/meltdown exploit mitigations for example), and it's another thing entirely to do so to the detriment of your userbase.

The best bread is the squishy kind (humblest of opinions, I'm sure), which is rather difficult to butter without making a crumby mess. Despite my general distrust of mayonnaise, it spreads like a dream. I do prefer the flavor of butter, so perfection is achieved by buttering frozen bread and then letting it come to room temperature. I don't have time for that crap, so mayo wins.

Shredded, melty cheese is optimal. If you're in Wisconsin, please mail me some Bleu Cheddar. I recently had some truffle-flavored cheddar, which was otherwise overwhelming but in this case divine. Shredded cheese is more uniform than whatever I can quickly produce with a chef knife; a cheese plane is probably fine but mine is attached to a big grater which is annoying to use.

The real important part is the griddle. Specifically, get it to temperature before it touches the bread. I use a cast iron pan, and flick water droplets on the pan to test the temperature. I flip three times, and smash it with the spatula after the first two flips. The goal is that the bread should be golden brown on both sides at the same time that the cheese has completely melted. As far as I can tell, this depends on every variable in your kitchen, and dialing in the perfect sandwich necessitates delicious science.

In many smart TVs, when you press the input button, it doesn't immediately pop up a mini OSD. It loads a program that can take as long as it does to load a streaming service's app. This program shows you ads, sometimes even inserts ads for streaming services in between the input sources you have to click over. This is before the time it actually takes for the input to change. With my TV, if I am on TV/Antenna, it takes me about 10 seconds from the time I first press the input button to when I can press the OK button on HDMI 4 which sends the command to switch inputs. The actual switching of the input takes about 1 second.
Hey I'm one of the three devs working on Third Room. Really excited to finally be showing off our hard work!

To clear things up a bit. Our tiny team isn't taking away from the development going on with the rest of the Matrix ecosystem. In fact, we're helping build out a bunch of really important pieces. When I started I helped build out Element Call and our full mesh VoIP stack that's now being built into Element natively. Our team has also been helping with Hydrogen's VoIP implementation and OpenID Connect authentication. As we progress further we'll be able to help in scaling up VoIP performance with our cascading SFU architecture.

We've been working on this project since February and we're pretty excited with the progress so far! We believe Matrix has the opportunity to play a critical role in this emerging space and can do so without distracting from its core mission of enabling open, decentralized messaging for everyone.
You made me think about it twice, tbh. I have passed regular vision tests, but never tested for tetrachromacy specifically. I can distinguish 22-35 lines here, depending on how far I sit to ignore jpeg line separating artifacts and how much I unfocus my eyes. https://kfor.com/news/test-how-many-colors-you-see-can-deter... (so silly to choose jpeg for a color test, oh internet). I don’t think I am a tetrochromat.

I failed another one which asks have you seen this color “before”, but honestly I’ll fail it even on 20 different-hue color palette because I have no color memory and my color vocabulary is on a “3-bit male” side.

Also failed “choose 2 identical out of 4” type. They are all 3+1 unless I peer very hard.

When you say implements stickers, does that mean it has a way to create your own sticker packs? Element technically has stickers but you only have the ability to use the quite bad built in stickers unless you host your own server and I assume manually configure it with the stickers you want.

It just puzzles me how stickers were implemented in Matrix years ago but they stopped just before allowing users to create sticker packs which makes them almost useless.
Ask HN: Thoughts on ThoughtSpot?
My workplace is looking at them. Not much chatter here on HN about them considering they're, i guess, a unicorn, and one comment I came across indicated that scaling down to data sets that are not (B)ig data was maybe outside the intended use case (which would be the case where I work as well)

Have they pivoted to a product/market-fit for not-big data? Anyone have experience deploying them?

Just to follow up on both of those specific instances, the Surface came two years after the iPad, and retina display technology in 2010, as quoted "approached the limit of pixel visibility to the human eye". In both cases, Apple was a leader. Without those two entries, you've got "other tablets were later brought to market" and "displays continued at an incremental improvement in quality".

True enough, but nor do they offer anything but insinuation the other way, either. The assurance that something is Russian misinformation now has a tendency to increase doubt rather than soothe it.

Math? Which physical laws/equations need infinity? Or do they just need "as x approaches infinity"?

But regardless, my only point was that in the real world everything is countable. The number of atoms in the sun, the distance to anywhere, the age of the universe, etc. Everything real is countable.
This tracks. I recall being surprised by the behavior of the Cmd+W keyboard shortcut in the new IDE that closed the window rather than the tab[1]. Keeping it simple seemed to be the main factor driving the way UX choices were made.

I've kicked around the idea for a while of a baggable computer, in the sense that the components might fit into a satchel or messenger bag, but be connectable to a larger set of I/O devices (keyboard, mouse, display) as needed.

For the past year and a half I've been using the Onyx BOOX Max Lumi e-ink tablet. It's sized large enough at 13" to be a very useful display. As an Android device, it ... suffers many of the limitations of same (see: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32569871>).

But paired with a Real Computer, a keyboard, and a mouse or trackball, plus battery/power supply and maybe external disk storage ... it could be interesting. Those might fit into different pockets of a bag, though this would leave the problem of thermal management (cloth-swathed electronics have poor heat conduction characteristics).

Different components could be swapped out at will. And the device (or its storage) could be paired with a Real Desktop Computer (or work-in-process synched to same or some common storage pool) as needed.

The key constraints for a laptop itself are the fact that the keyboard and screen must accommodate a human's hands and eyes, and provisioning sufficient battery capacity. Busting a few of those constraints for more flexible offerings ... might shake up the concept a bit.

For modern generative computing, web browsing is typically the biggest load. I've used 10--15 y.o. (or older) hardware quite usefully for most of my principle tasks except Web access, which ... is kind of sad on the face of it. Even an older Android tablet runs scripts (generally awk or python) reasonably well. Runtime is about 1/10 the performance of a desktop, possibly worse, but for small working data sets, that's rarely an issue. E.g., I can run awk with effectively the same responsiveness on many thousands of rows of data in either environment. I did find that JSON parsing was notably slower (10--15s on the tablet vs. sub-second response on desktop) for typical workloads, though even that was an issue only in high-repetition development or content-search contexts.
I haven't made one in ages, but I have heard Calibre might be able to process CHM and possibly even generate it (cannot confirm).

We need sane open source fpga tool chains that can generalize building bitstreams for multiple vendor fpga's. As it stands the idea of programming them isn't that hard (well, to me), it's the damn tooling that is an ugly vendor created and maintained barrier to entry.

I want a gcc or LLVM like compiler ecosystem that can handle multiple vendor backends and language front ends so we can use vhdl, verilog or a new hdl in a project. Let me write portable modularized logic files that let me abstract the underlying hardware so I can target different vendors and devices. Decouple layout and let the community create as many textual or graphical layout tools as needed. Then let me write a makefile to handle the build process. I don't want to worry about switching gigabytes of tooling so I can move from a Xilinx to Lattice or Microchip FPGA or SoC. These tools will be a boon to devs using those awesome FPGA SoC's as you can self-host the toolchain on the SoC itself.

I did a bunch of fpga self learning around 2012 and spent a lot of time fighting with getting ISE to run on Linux. I then tried Altera and then fought with fought with Quartus (though from memory I think it was easier to setup). Then ISE was replaced by vivaldo and I felt discouraged by having to adopt a new IDE contraption with more licensing woes. Then my hard drive died and I've never bothered with wrestling fpgas since. The two fpga boards, a Digilent Nexus 3 and Terasic de0 nano collect dust. I gave up because the tools sucked and i wasnt using them to make money.
I just got a Sony flagship television with Google Android TV.

I'm fully expecting it to be automatically broken by a software update about 1-3 months after the warranty expires and the new models are released. I plan to disable updates around 1 year in to mitigate this risk.

Think about what it says about the entire industry that this is what customers expect: multi-thousand-dollar products being purposefully remotely broken by the vendors.

While this is really cool and not actively a bad thing like NFTs, I don't see much use for a decentralized metaverse. You can already just self-host a metaverse with your friends on LAN or a custom server, and share with people far away on the ordinary web.

IMO decentralization really shines in critical areas like mesh-nets and (ethics aside) illegal exchanges, where there is no decent central authority and anyone can be an adversary. The internet and existing infrastructure is not 100% decentralized, but it's fair enough for a fun project like the metaverse.

Many people like cheddar but, to me, cheddar is not gooey enough do I always go back to american.

It's funny but as easy as it is to make a grilled cheese sandwich few places can make it well.

2 Slices of bread

2 slices of American cheese

Butter

-Put the 2 slices of cheese in between the 2 slices of bread

-Butter the outside of the slices

-In a pan, iron skillet is best, melt a liberal amount of butter. Don't let it burn

-In the pan, brown both sides of the sandwich

-Cover the pan while the sides are browning

-Once the sides have browned, make sure the cheese has melted. If it hasn't, lower the heat and cover the pan until the cheese has melted.

-Once the cheese has melted, remove and cut.

Enjoy the gooeyness!
Yeah, I'm the same way. I battle build systems, cross compilers and version control all day for work. I have specific company owned laptops set up for all that. When I just want to mess around with a microcontroller, I fire up the Arduino IDE, and use Google drive for versioning...
I like Apple TV. The one thing that consistently frustrates me is pressing the mic button at the wrong "screen" will take you out of your current app and bring you to the Apple TV+ search container. Yes, it's not hard to navigate back to where you were but it's quite simple to accidentally press the mic button at the wrong screen.

It took me 10s to find incitement to violence, in both posts and comments. That said, I think it's fair most people aren't afraid of feminist extremists. The Kiwifarms rationale was real world harm (although it's not cleae both whether non-real harm exists and the line between indirect and direct harm). Does this site have a similar problems? There is a difference between threats and credible threats, after all.

I have an untrusted segment of my network I connect my tv to. If I streamed from something else, I would have to put that device also in an untrusted segment and dedicate it to that task but that means more time spent admining a device that no one is paying me to admin.
I don't agree with GP but it can be worse by misleading people that don't know how compensation structures work at certain companies. They might be happy that they got 90th percentile salary but not understand and/or pursue stocks which is generally the bulk of the compensation or at at the very least, the biggest differentiator between individuals. Further, being at the top of band, they may receive small raises whereas those with lower base salary may receive higher.

I still believe the LAMP stack is the future for most non-realtime applications.

With PHP you just FTP copy a file to the server and it works instantly, no builds, no compilation, no restarts. Compared to Node.js the server feels a lot more robust by default and an uncaught exception doesn't bring down the whole server until restarted.

The biggest plus: you can host a lot of applications on the same stack and by default ALL parts of the stack (Apache, MySQL, PHP) can handle concurrency and load distribution well (with Node.js, for example, by default each application will be mostly single-threaded, you have to manually spawn multiple Node.js instances/workers for it to properly use all the server resources).
I've spent the last few years helping to launch a quant fund, so I have a sense of what institutional investors look for. I'm impressed with the thought and hard work that went into Didact, but this guy never had a shot of attracting interest from the types of institutional investors who fund large quant funds.

The strategy has a 18% correlation to SPY, so "beating the market" is the wrong benchmark. The proper reference point is probably 0, when correlation is that low it shouldn't matter much whether the market's up or down.

The strategy had 14% return and .82 Sharpe ratio, so 17% vol. That's bad. With large asset levels and a long track record a Sharpe of 1 might be OK, for 1 year with minimal assets a Sharpe less than 2 isn't necessarily that impressive.

Another huge issue: this strategy was run with less than $1mm. It would certainly perform worse at higher asset levels as market impact becomes meaningful, the only question is how much worse.

Finally, results matter, but fund raising is primarily a sales process. Investors aren't just looking for the highest numbers. They're going to evaluate the people and processes involved, the risk management philosophy, really every aspect of the business. OP has some professional finance experience but it doesn't sound like he has the connections or reputation that would help with fund raising. If his sales pitch was anything like this article I don't think most institutional investors would be impressed (EG, minimal references to risk management, frequent comparisons to SPY performance when that's not an appropriate benchmark.)
