Generally the goal is to let meat packers and factories employ kids legally because they’re doing it illegally now. They do make good employees in these contexts with their small bodies. But it’s also precisely the sort of dangerous job that we reformed. The fact there’s people still trying to get kids to clean bone saws and likewise legally is galling. There’s a certain conservative strain that thinks The Jungle was just good business.

Then they have their own account that you transfer $X/month into. If you can't agree as a couple on what each person should be spending, then the relationship is on bad footing to begin with.

Adding fluoride to water has always seemed weird to me, since you can't control for how much water someone is drinking or account for different bodily factors like age and weight. I wonder why the European solution of adding it to salt isn't the default, especially given that iodized salt is already so popular and commonplace.

As a general rule of thumb, I think it's interesting to scrutinize dosage recommendations and compare regulations between countries. If someone claims that the science on some topic is well settled then health officials in multiple countries should arrive at roughly similar results. If there's a discrepancy between the suggestions made by health officials in the US and EU, it's worth asking why.
They forgot the #1 rule: the house always wins, even if they have to take you to the courthouse they own.
well if those are your beliefs about marriage then it's no surprise you don't like it, but they don't.. have to be... your beliefs. Huge numbers of people would vehemently argue with you if you said those beliefs in front of them. Maybe you should give them a chance to convince you otherwise?
Ok, pick whatever smaller number makes you happy then. My point is just as valid with 100k concurrent users.
Being able to install plugins from the web interface exposes the site to more security issues. Those who can manage to follow some instructions would be better off logging in to the host via ssh and then using the wp-cli [1] command to manage the site (upgrading WordPress core, installing/uninstalling/upgrading plugins and themes, etc.).

Curious question - does this take effect for all couples/groups? I've been roommates with people for 3+ years before with no sexual/romantic interest. Would I be considered married to them in BC? Is this different for same-sex pairings?

What if three people cohabitate for an extended period? Are they all married to each other?

You should fire this person, and do the startup with the rest of them. If the other two are too weak to address the conflict, it's a very bad sign for the outcome. Probably don't need a lawyer if they aren't even full time yet. Hopefully you guys all had 4 year vesting terms so they don't actually keep 20% of common.
I've been thinking a similar thing. Distributing cryptos to those who contributed for training models is one idea. Later you might use that coin to run the trained model.
My wife and I have just had joint accounts forever and it’s worked out great for us. There must be more than anecdote to go with if we want to have this argument “rationally.” Though if I’m being honest, it has more to do with my ideal of what a committed relationship is about than rational considerations.

I think this creates an uncomfortable/unequal situation for the non working partner as you’ve essentially set yourself up as an authority figure over them rather than an equal.
Is this just about titles? Can you not be CTO and he can be Chief Product Officer or something that sounds better?
Truth.

Mistake no. 1 is expecting to beat the house in the long term when the expectation of all of these games, save PvP like poker, is less than zero a priori.

The MIT blackjack team might have found temporary counting and signaling systems to exploit, but the casinos were never going to let any group bleed money from them in the long term.

Every now and then some groups may try, but they're not going to beat a system that doesn't tolerate excessive winnings for long.

If you want to go to Vegas for a vacation and make $100 last with your own system of minimum risk, sure, go for it.

I wondered a lot during Covid how much of the vaccine hesitancy was due to people's squeamishness about needles and how much that was consciously or unconsciously rationalized with the familiar takings points.

I think if the actual vaccine was a pill or spray, things would have turned out very differently.
Either you concretely agree on the finances or you don't. If you don't have any explicit understanding/agreement, the vast majority of relationships are going to have problems. Having separate accounts forces you to come to an explicit consensus
>Money is created when debt is issued and it is destroyed as the debts are repaid

I understand money is created with issued debt, since the interests do not exist yet.

I don't understand why do you say money is destroyed when interest are repaid? If the bank now holds that money, why do you say it is destroyed?
> Edit: why am I being downvoted for this?

I think because you presumed that everybody was calling it a conspiracy before, which is patently untrue? (Correct would be: some people were, and some people still are)
That only says the house has permission to invalidate the roll, not that the player is committing a crime (as would be the case if they were, say, using a device to cheat).
No. Children, in your one and only life which is going to end soon enough. Economy will never be perfect.
It‘s not a secret that bank equity does not yield the best returns because most of the excess returns that come from the risks taken are siphoned off in form of inflated salaries and „prestige“ (e.g. the most pristine office real estate). I agree that fractional reserve banking can be efficient but only if the incentives are aligned. And this is only the case if the depositors are at risk and forced to choose banks with good track records for their savings to be invested profitably, yet safely (risk/return profile).
There's a quote attributed to Winston Churchill [1]:

> As King put it: "Winston Churchill once famously observed that Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else."

In my experience, America does tend to have this blind spot where everything but the blindingly obvious is blamed and we throw our hands up saying "there's nothing we can do" for problems literally no one else has.

The problem here is capitalism. We need more government, not less. The Church of Quasi-libertarianism and deregulation simply does not work.

Shelter is one of our basic needs to survive. There is absolutely no reason why the richest nation in the history of the Earth cannot put a roof over the head, provide sufficient food and give access to clean water to every man, woman and child in this country. None. It's a choice not to.

The insidious part of our capitalistic cult is how insidious it is. Every aspect of our lives becomes financialized. Debt is built into our existence: housing, student, medical. It's the chosen method of control where once it was fealty to a monarch and whoever your local vassal lord was.

Mark Fisher once said [2]:

> it is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism

But no, the problem is going to be anything else.

There might be another way to look at it that could be really useful in this scenario. Rather than saying that you don't want it to happen, instead, ask yourself what changes would make it so that you would be okay with the change? For example, if the CUXO was willing to sign over half of his stake (10%) to you, would you be okay with him taking the CTO title? You could argue that giving him the CTO title will give him a future leg-up in career and earnings that you should be compensated as well. If the CUXO is not okay with that, than you have a good argument for keeping things the same.
I don’t think the rigidity of a formal arrangement like this is necessary or even helpful. Both partners’ financial status is likely to change significantly over the course of a relationship.

They appear to be bringing it back based on a recent video from their Creator Insider channel
When you borrow money at a fractional reserve bank, they don't give you other people's money. They create on one side new money, and they give it to you. The create on the other side, a negative balance. As you pay back your loan, it increments the negative balance and evaporates.

The concept of fractional reserve lending just means that banks are allowed to issue new money to make loans.

But the concept isn't really accurate anymore anyways, banks aren't limited in how much money they can create based on a percentage of their asset portfolio but instead based on complex loan qualification rules.
Marriage itself is not really more of a risk to a man than a woman. Shared property from the marriage will get divided up, but that affects women the same as men.

Having children is a slight risk because custody is a bit more likely to be given to women than men, so men are a bit more likely to have to pay child support.

Having a spouse who stops working to take care of children is a large risk for both partners. One risks having to pay alimony to support the non-working spouse; the other risks losing their earning potential from time spent out of the workforce.
They should propose restoring the US’s ownership rules for the press. Those were repealed in the 1980’s-2000’s and directly led to the media consolidation the article is concerned with.

I basically agree with this. Seek council, but do not weaponise it. Understand your (legal, moral, ethical) rights, and defend them.

Good luck.
Not from "what" but from "where" is the question. If there was no Western opposition to the attack, there wouldn't be no isolation.

The fact that Russia has received some sympathy shows how important is to express the situation correctly - Russia was not provoked by anything. They would have attacked either way because they consider these lands theirs and the people who live there at best as nothing. The thinking goes - those countries they attack will greet them as liberators or they are the worst enemies that must be eliminated (e.g. Nazis).

Now I can understand that some countries have strong anti-US sentiment, but reason for the whole war has a very little to do with US despite Russia's huge effort to make it appear to be the cause.
> A good title to help further his career seems like a valid concern

Not for the business.

Like others have said it’s at least the CEO’s role to work it out and if they said it’s not their problem then there are bigger concerns.
I think no one has the answer to your question. Everyone doesn't really know your team's personality and how many people agree/happy with his decision.

How about we vote on this?
Keeping good relationship and supporting partners >> Worrying so much about silly titles.
> And this is only the case if the depositors are at risk and forced to choose banks with good track records for their savings to be invested profitably, yet safely (risk/return profile).

Barely anyone is qualified to assess the quality of a bank. It's difficult even for auditors. It shouldn't be your uncle's responsibility, it should be the responsibility of regulators.

That's really nothing to do with fractional reserve and more of an assessment of the US banking system.

You completely missed the joke lol.
Yes, marriage is about trust. Trust makes you vulnerable, but it opens up a lot of life that just isnt possible otherwise.
I think its inappropriate for people who don't know much about programming to try reading code to critically understand the underlying social mechanisms behind computerization in the modern era.

But saying something like the construction of "Hello World" is arbitrary is also ridiculous. If formal logic were just as it is, something pure and untouchable, then there wouldn't be so many different programming languages with so many different ways of outputting the same string. The logic of programming languages also in some ways intersects with the logic of social life. There is always a need for interpretation, from someone writing an actual interpreter, to a new engineer trying to decipher some uncommented code--even that last example proves the point more severely, people have a variety of "styles" of writing code: if formal logic was just a One, there would only ever be one "best" programming language and one "best" style. But there is not. There is instead some diverse, human force and human effort behind code, and that effort must reflect in some way the overall structure of the society it was created in. And likewise the order of society (which has in some sense been engineered) influences the programmers and the limits of their ideas.

Is there something about the operations of computers that escapes pure social construction? Obviously yes, there is always something about the structure of logic which describes how social relations come to be (even if it must be understood social-symbolically), and the way in which those relations are coded has greatly contributed to the overall increase of productivity in the 20th and 21st centuries. But there is nothing "pure" about that logic.
Why isn’t it in the US?
Obviously based on my own prior experience in a mildly analogous space, I agree to its nuclear consequences/effects introducing third parties of any kind.

Some of what you say goes to a loss of trust and full disclosure to motivation and intent between you which is sad, but alas also very normal.

But I do suggest you at least seek advise from somebody you pay, to advocate to you, privately of what is normal and also necessary here.
Perhaps you could be co-CTO's. Fwiw I can see not liking CUXO
And if parameters change, the decisions around finances can change too.

Your response implies that its unhealthy to speak openly and clearly about finances. It's much healthier to be concrete and open about how money is managed rather than having some vague understanding or not talking about it at all. If you have a clear understanding that you've both agreed on, then a joint account doesn't provide any benefit.
Makes me wonder if so much of the domestic craziness is rooted in people who fundamentally are only together to allay peer pressure and questioning of their sexuality. What a recipe for disaster all around.
> Companies expect people to work constantly, especially since the pandemic. It’s ridiculous. Tech is totally different than what it was 10 years ago in terms of demands on people’s time.

Totally! The expectations have completely changed.

Engineering used to be more like Architecture. You design stuff and then you manufacture it. But "managers" seem to want to treat it more like the warehouse where X number of packages must be shipped in this sprint.

It helps that the material they're working from is authored by Hilary Mantel. She did her homework. Thomas Cromwell historians differ on her views but she handled the material amazingly well.

Who is more replaceable? You or the cuxo?

What would happen if CUXO were to quit?

Who is more qualified to be a CTO between you and him going forward? i.e. If the company were to scale x2, x5, x10, would you or the him be able to fulfill the duty better?

Would the CEO and COO agree?

At what point do you need a dedicated CTO that is neither you or the CUXO?

How much leverage do you have over the CEO and COO? Does COO have your back?
> Comparing a hosted open source solution to Squarespace and the likes is non sequitur, IMO

how so?
Interesting.

Is there a written law or user agreement stating per game:

1. Each die must cross certain boundaries?

2. A player's body cannot get within X units of distance from the play area?

3. What's preventing a player from dropping dice straight down?

4. Can the dealer refuse a roll as invalid and require a reroll?
I went full time first about 2 years ago. Since then the remaining members have gone full time one by one with the CUXO being the last to go full time scheduled for July 1st.

CDO was bought out last year with his equity being distributed evenly.

>uhm, no. CEO's job is to run the company and this is tearing it apart. he cannot shirk this responsibility.

Yes, I agree. I'm hoping to resolve with without needing him to come in to mediate but it feels unavoidable and I think it will ultimately cause harm to the group. I'm also concerned because I feel like I need to start actively guarding against the CUXO from trying to encroach on my area in an attempt to assert himself as a "leader"
Propose that an office of the CTO is created which would be responsible for high level technical direction and promoting technical excellence, and he could be in charge of and lead a dev or so in in that role. Jointly, a General Manager (GM) of Product Development role which reports directly to the CEO should be created, which you could step into. All development would be under that GM role, including the UX and DB teams. The product development team would be responsible for maintaining the existing product, as well as architecting new solutions and features.

If all he really wants is the title, this would give him that. Meanwhile, it gives you ownership.
I have never seen a wire on any table, ever.
Appreciate the reply.

I think this is probably the best approach, however I find it hard to believe there is a possible title that he could suggest that wouldn't similarly undermine me somehow.

I'm trying to avoid the conversation turning into an argument about whose done what for the company because I think it would irreparably harm our already tense working relationship, however I think without a doubt I have overwhelmingly been responsible for the companies success from a CTO perspective, especially since taking over the responsibilities of the former Chief Dev Officer. So much so, during client calls I'm often introduced as the CTO by our CEO. CUXO has had practically zero client interactions since he has so far not been working full time for the company.
HN is no different. For a handful of select hot-button topics, any deviation from toeing the party line will result in near immediate downvote barrage and eventual [flagged][dead].

On the flip side, for some (usually the same) topics it’s easy to write banal karma-fishing comments sure to rise to the top of the thread. At least HN has a time-decay aspect on those.
I assume you are all board members also. It’s the job of the board to make sure silly stuff like this doesn’t get out of hand. Force the leadership team to make a decision.

By the way the sort of rules that dictate everyone will be equal or some title shall not be given, never last. The more you attach yourself to it, the more likely you’ll lose. Rather than sticking with “there should be no CTO”, just make the case for you being CTO.
You are wrong. And it is arguably worse than that.

I'm a little skeptical about "high rollers" playing on any machine at all, but the machines are, in fact highly regulated and highly controlled. I'm always amused to see ads about the "loosest slots in town." It's not really false advertising, because the slots are regulated and everybody sets them at exactly the legal limit.

But then there is what is allowed to happen when you don't win. If the machine has already calculated that you will not win on a particular "pull" it can manipulate the loss in advantage ways. For instance, it can land on 7-7-spinning..., spinning, one cherry away from 7. You just missed by 1! So close!

The world thinks they have uncovered a big new secret when they realize that social media sites study human physiology to optimize dopamine release in their victims^H^H subscribers^H^H account holders. Casinos have been at it for lifetimes.

I don't know why you would think there is a risk to the business if a casino lets a guest win an extra game or two.

Avoid working with people who care primarily about titles.

Is the CEO actually a CEO? I.e., does everyone else report to them? If so, they should get involved and help you resolve.

If they don’t want to, take your equity, cut your losses and move on.
> Dice sliding is against the rules already. This isn't a "legal loophole" sort of situation, it's cheating, and thus theft by fraud.

This is the part I don't get. The game apparently mechanically allows that, so how is it cheating, any more than, say, allowing a soccer defender to kick a goal? Seems to me like a loophole like card counting in blackjack.

Is placing a bet after the roulette wheel has begun to spin a crime or merely a violation of the rules (which could get you ejected)?
It's not a guess, it's much worse than a guess. It's inherently biased: it collects data from people who care downvote count to the extreme only. They care the count so much that they installed an extension specifically for it. Think about it.

Dijkstra conveniently ignored the other situations where 1-based works out better than 0-based. For example, getting the least element of the array, or iterating backwards over the array.
