Ask HN: Should I officially change my company name with Delaware?
First time founder. Won some school grant to form legal entities, and use for other operations expenses, but it's limited. I ended up forming a Delaware C Corp as I heard most of people who try to raise VC money do that.

The question is we pivoted our product to a totally different area, so we also decided to change name of the company as well. I'm looking into the process and cost to change name with Delaware, seems very complicated and costly -- hundreds of dollars. (We feel other areas need this money more than changing names.)

We're trying to raise a round of VC money next month. If it goes ok, I assume we will receive check to our company. Should I spend money to it now or it's totally fine to officially change the name after we have enough money?

Thanks for all you guys help!
I paid for Premium for years. But then I started asking myself if wanted to give money to a company that pushed things like FLoC, Manifest v3, and WEI.

And the answer was no. We used to pay them $284/year for our household services.

Now we pay them nothing. Maybe they'll have a change of heart someday, but until then, not a dime.

I would say GPIB is actually a pretty amazing connection format. You can easily daisy chain them no need for a router/switch, the connection speeds were pretty amazing at the time (and are still OK today), the cables and connectors (although large) are extremely robust. All the labs I know still use cables that are >20-30y old, and people are connecting and disconnecting devices all the time.

That said I wouldn't want to use GPIB for connecting a laptop to a hard drive or anything like that.

I still dont see where you think Tesla has made a misinformed calculation, error, or mistake. Are you claiming the managers at Tesla dont know the cost of hiring a strike breaker?

Furthermore, much of what you said is not true with respect to the US.

Waiting for the Tesla of the aviation as that lead vs. unleaded feel like something ancient.

Lets look at numbers as of today:

Cesna 172 - 75kw engine, on 50kw power makes 1000km as 200km/hr. Engine plus fuel weight 350kg. The engine costs $26K.

Today's lithium batteries like ones used by Tesla is 280wh/kg. At retail similar batteries cost $400/kwh.

So, we can have 75kw electric engine and 100kwh battery at the same weight as ICE engine plus fuel on Cesna 172 and at a retail cost of $50K and have 2 hr flight of 400km. That isn't a worse starting point than what Tesla had 15 years ago against ICE cars.

Show us some proof. Tall claims require tall evidence.

For the record, Israel is killing medics and press members, and have done so for their entire existence. Their status as a state, and the US's backing of them at any cost including threats of violence and terrorist accusations if we don't just 'fall in line'.

Maybe you should realize the character of who you're supporting. Israel is not a legitimate country and the US has no right instigating more bullshit in that region.

There are no correct sides in this conflict except with innocent civilians which nobody seems to genuinely care about.

The Journalist and the Influencer
Ah I had this, used it for years, and share your feelings. I really love interesting form factors, especially when they maintain practicality. There was a lot of interesting things back then, before the smartphone convergence, when electronics were still toys. I accidentally smashed the screen of my fancy phone (at the time) and on a whim I bought the cheap Nokia Twist as a replacement. Nearly two decades of touchscreens later and I still miss how tiny it was and how good it felt to slide open.

Terrible idea: grassroots movement that releases the highest short-term GWP but shortest-lived gas into the atmosphere (Hydrogen?). The idea being humanity isn't going to seriously address the topic until the pain ramps up to a certain level, and that happening from a gas that will dissipate by itself leaves us in a much better position than carbon dioxide that will have to be sequestered to remove it.
I'm hoping AI-horde type structures proliferate, where a few people with idle accelerators can support a much larger population without much effort.
Their cities are also much older. Tokyo is like 400-600 years old.

They ran out of undeveloped land long ago and were forced to increase density.

At least in California, cities are like 50-150 years old at best. Lots of cities are only running out of land now. In 300 years, I'm sure somewhere like LA will be dense.
Unfortunately this also seems to affect all their GUI offerings, I wouldn't be surprised if the great GUI civil war going on Redmond isn't a side effect from some KPIs fighting for resource allocation.

If you disagree with my opinion on communism being an ideology doomed to fail when it is implemented in practice just come with your arguments instead of pressing that button. I understand you run the risk of having your arguments shot down but that should be seen as a learning opportunity instead of a bruise to your ego or identity.

It depends on where you are. I had a stolen backpack recovered when I was travelling in Zurich. I stopped by the train station police, showed them the AirTag tracking, and they sped down the freeway (lights & sirens!) to catch up to the perpetrators' train and arrest them. I went to the Landesmuseum, and by the time I was done my backpack (and most of its contents) were ready for me at the police station.

Compared to SFPD, who took about 8 hours to even show up to my burgled apartment so I could file an insurance report, it was a breath of fresh air.
Of course this requires cryptocurrencies to have some form of actual utility, which so far isn’t in evidence. Absent this utility, excess renewable energy could simply be stored for later use, ie in chemical batteries or as hydrogen.

That is the most popular opinion I think.

Free markets arent the problem. They can only get away with it if you flood the low skill labor market with immigrants that are willing to accept radically lower standards of living than the natives they are replacing. Then you jack up interest rates and try to cause a recession anytime labor has the upper hand.
Having nothing but random comments by $8 subscribers at the top of every post has been pretty terrible for any sort of discussion between posters and followers already, but at least you could ignore/filter posts by their blue checkmark. Now you'll still get the above but you'll also get a bunch of $3 subscribers straight after the $8 posts, but without any obvious marker to show they've been boosted artificially.

People have often accused Twitter of being full of people trying to shout the loudest and drowning out useful discussion, yet all of Musk's changes seem to be aimed at making this issue worse and worse. Soon there'll be a caste system where the only actual discussions will be between people on the same subscription tier.
Well in my opinion, this is what it means to support digitisation. It means accepting that these situations will become more and more commonplace. It is simply the price you pay.

In your other comment you mention that people handling email should be familiarising themselves properly with RFCs. Yeah. Maybe. Probably actually you're right.

Putting aside the problem of ehether they actually _have to_ or _will_ for a second. Do you think it's reasonable that the people at your child's school will? No, of course not. And they're the ones who will choose these providers. Not you.

The problem is not bitcoin's energy usage per se, the problem is that proof-of-work is a feedback loop where the more one person mines, the more everyone else needs to mine to keep up. In other words, the mere existence of proof-of-work puts a floor on the price of energy; in the presence of proof-of-work it is impossible for us as a society to ever have energy that is "too cheap to meter", because when the price of energy falls below the production price of bitcoin it economically incentivizes more miners. It's self-fulfilling conspicuous consumption for the electronic age.

In contrast, one person blow-drying their hair does not create a feedback loop of more people blow-drying their hair.

But precious few new ventures have ever entered a market where nobody said some form of "I don't get it, there are already established products in this space, how will this new thing ever get traction?". And yet, lots of new ventures turn out to be competitive with the established players in their market, for one reason and another.

Your point of view here seems to neglect energy storage. There is no use for excess renewables that is more productive than storing it for later, when intermittent renewables go offline. Stored renewable energy is the only thing that can replace fossil energy at those times.

This is why billions of dollars are going into storage and transport for renewable energy (batteries, hydrogen, and some outliers like methane and ammonia). Creating any new energy demand, be it flexible or constant, only increases the total amount of renewables we need.

> our entire grid could be renewables in excess of peak demand

Are you hypothesizing about a world where we have more renewables than we can consume at all times? Sure, I guess mine away in that world. In this world, though, it's doing measurable damage.

> ...then again I'm probably not the target audience for such an app. I do some technical writing...

For technical writing in particular, I feel like being able to see (and manipulate) the entire document at once is actually helpful, if not outright necessary, since the structure of a document is just as important as its content. In that sense, a no-frills text editor might actually be the specific "focus mode" that you need for technical documents.

But it's certainly not the same type of focus that people seek when they write fiction. Which I unfortunately can't comment on, because I write fiction the same way I write manuals :P

Just incredibly lazy and arrogant behavior. Qatar has been working hard to position itself as a chief mediator in the region, and largely it's worked. But there is tremendous popular pressure now on regional governments to stand with the Palestinians and Israel has vaporized any ability for these governments to continue rapprochement. Egypt had its first demonstration in a decade. Al Jazeera could shut down tomorrow and nothing would change; the anger across the region, and indeed across the world, are due to the realities of what is happening, not how it's being reported.

I honestly have far more lightning cables lying around than I do mini USB or micro USB. I don't own many devices that use either micro or mini USB. Lightning also made sense because it was a solid connection, that did not wear out quickly, insertion and removal had no chance of damaging anything whereas I have had several mini and micro USB boards that I've created myself where I've had to replace the connectors over time.

This would actually be great, it would make it easier to filter out.
Would not work very well in an urban environment where you could duck into the front of a business and go out the back way. Maybe drones + ability to remotely lock the doors of any building in the city. Or a drone swarm with built in maps of the layouts of all the buildings in the city so if someone goes into a building, they automatically split up and start watching all the exits.

this makes me think -- is there room in the world for some sort of foundation/conservancy that takes reputable desktop app projects under its wing, provides funding, version control hosting, whatever... and then, crucially, offers to sign releases with its identity so windows and macos users don't get the popup of doom? and then maybe fast track publishing to app stores on top of that? is that kind of codesigning identity sharing a tos violation?

i overflow my hands counting the projects i can name that are solid, polished, etc, but in the era of gatekeeper and friends inevitably present pretty brutal friction to typical end-users because the dev can't justify shelling out for apple developer or whatever.

i mean yes broad financing of free software efforts would have a similar effect but yknow. projects like drawing apps and media players are pretty broad-use. hell, blender has a foundation with corporate donors. but what about the more obscure stuff that doesn't create its own entire ecosystem but nonetheless improves the lives of users within its niche? maybe we could make it fashionable for wealthier techies to adopt those projects as patrons in the old sense or something

> Framework is niche.

"Niche" is not a dirty word. Framework is niche, but if they can make their cost structure work (which I have no idea whether or not they can), that's ok. New products don't need to dominate their market in order to be succesful.

(But I do agree that Google Fiber is a bad example / a good example of a new product in an established market not working.)
My 2 cents :
Basically the Earth started emitting radio transmissions roughly ~100 years ago.
Every sent transmission travels at light speed and goes also involuntarily into deep space (even if not always).
So, the farthest point from Earth that we could have emitted involuntarily is around 100 light years away.
If in this "bubble" of 200 light years of diameter with the Earth at the center there is an alien civilization with SETI-like tech, they could detect our encoded signals and deduce they are not natural, hence detect us.
