Yes, you can apply to VC alone. Some investors want to see a founding team. Some don't care.

But other than the desire to a have a co-founder in theory or to secure investment, why on earth would you continue with this co-founder? If they aren't contributing anything, why do you want to work with this person?

And 50-50 is absurd. 50-50 is, of course, always a recipe for deadlock. I've dealt with countless 50-50 co-founder situations where there was a breakdown due to deadlock. And those are almost always situations where the co-founders were enthusiastic working together at the start. (I'm a lawyer by the way - so I see worse case scenarios all the time.)

Here your prospective co-founder isn't contributing. You need to move on.

Happy to discuss my experiences with this and how you can extricate yourself as best as possible.
Is the NSA discovering bribery really “industrial espionage”? I don’t like the NSA but that characterization is a bit of a stretch.

There are a host of laws regarding termination, even in at will states, especially for companies of Cloudflare's size.

Giving an invalid reason that is unsupported by facts is generally a strong place for a lawyer to assert "wrongful termination" and invoke those laws.
If I had to go back to a Linux desktop full-time—compelled by a witch's curse or something, I dunno, doesn't matter why—and it were an option (it's not) I'd pay quite a bit of money just to get supported version of Apple's productivity and utility programs for Linux. Preview, Safari, Numbers, Pages, Keynote, Digital Color Meter, Notes, probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. Hell, I even like Terminal at least as well as any of the options on Linux.

I don't enjoy using any of the "big" equivalents of those things on Linux (like Libreoffice or Firefox), don't like any of the options in some cases (any kind of Preview replacement—all contenders are much worse), and the ones I find tolerable are all way on the low end as far as developer attention and user-share, so tend to be even jankier than the platform median for desktop software, and certainly aren't as well-integrated with one another (Abiword, Numeric, Gnome Web / Epiphany or Surf)

To be fair to Linux, the same would be true if the same thing happened except with Windows. Though Paint.net and Notepad++ are really nice. [EDIT] Yeah, I know, those aren't first-party programs, just trying to give any credit I can.

The software—not even the fancy stuff, just the same sorts of programs we've had on desktops for decades—is a big part of why Apple's ecosystem is sticky for me, and it's hard to justify leaving even when they're not bringing their A-game. Being on their platform gets me access to my favorite well-supported programs in several crucial program categories.

> Particularly the keybindings of linux are a non-starter for me.

I spent my first 18 or so computing-years on Windows and Linux, barely touched a Mac. When I finally switched (was issued one at a new job) I decided within a year that Macs had simply the most-correct default English keyboard layout and shortcut-set, and it's not a close contest. It's really, really good. Replicating it on Linux is weirdly difficult to achieve, fully and without issues, considering being able to customize everything is one of its core draws.
It was top billing in Democrat policy for decades, from Clinton through Clinton, and Biden did some too. Top billing in Republican policy was to oppose it and undermine it - remember the endless, pointless, virtue-signaling votes during Obama's administration by Congressional Republicans to kill Obama's healthcare plan. Remember he got it through on the slimist margin, through procedural maneuver, with (no? one?) Republican votes.

Organize and get the ball rolling. What are the problems? How do we solve them? You're not a customer or a victim; you tell them what they should be doing. Don't worry, most politicians will do anything to get some votes!
Another factor here is that for many reasons startup equity (and thus startup comp in general) is much less valuable statistically than it was 10-15 years ago. Everyone knows that it a shit deal now, so many of the best engineers, those who can, are in big tech now. Leaving startups with lower quality talent pool, or those who just need a first job.

I say that with sadness and fond memories of ~2013 startup culture.
You mean the ones that are widely panned, sold no merchandise, and poisoned the franchise? Those movies? I wonder about the people who defend those movies, I really do.

Just because an employee who worked 4.5 months with zero sales gets laid off? This is the problem with social media, now people think whoever makes the most noise is right. I've seen people getting fired for far less and they didn't make a fuss about it anywhere.
I would just say that the consumption patterns for popular music underwent a tectonic shift in the late 90s and early 00's, with Napster and then the iPod, and that there was no configuration of terrestrial radio that was going to leave it as the dominant discovery and dissemination mechanism for rock music.

I'm not sure I understand the cartel point. I think rock in 2024 is more vital and interesting than it was in 1995. My hip-hop consumption patterns remain mired in the 1990s, though; I have not found a more modern replacement for De La.
This is sad "outrage porn". Regardless of how you feel about Cloudflare or their HR, this was really unprofessional of her and I suspect she'll come to regret posting this publicly.

DEI is a racist agenda that endangers us all. It should be discarded for a merit based approach that ignores race, religion etc.
I mean, you can do that. There's literally nothing stopping you except the opinion of your team of you. I generally give notice, not because I give a single fuck about the company, but because I like my coworkers and want to make sure I tie off my work before leaving so I don't make their lives harder.

Worker solidarity doesn't mean you fuck over capital any time you can, even if it makes your fellow workers' lives harder. The company cares way less about you quitting suddenly than your coworkers do. That's exactly why they don't care about laying people off with no notice.

You may get faux revolutionary warm fuzzies by quitting to screw the man, but you're probably screwing your friends more than your foes.

> They will bill/sue/evict you for tampering with the entry locks, for sure.

I'd have a hard time believing anything comes of it if they try.

Let's say:

* You contacted the landlord and let them know the lock was not functional and you'd been unable to access your unit on several occasions. You'd had to sleep at friends' houses several times due to being unable to access your unit. You give them a reasonable timeframe within which to respond appropriately given the severity of the situation (i.e., replace the lock the next day not just send you the phone number for Latch tech support).

* The landlord did not appropriately resolve the situation.

* You replaced the lock with a simple keyed lock without damaging the old lock. You then immediately notified the landlord and provided them a copy of the key. (They also have a legal right to access the unit.)

Where I am, you have committed an act that is explicitly contrary to statutes governing residential tenancies. However, you did so in response to what was effectively an illegal lockout. (It doesn't matter if their intent was to improve the unit--they effectively restricted you from accessing it when you have a legal right to do so.)

They can:

1. Bill you: They can send you some paper. The question is how they enforce collecting the money. It's possible, though unlikely, they _may_ be able to obtain an order for "damages". In this case that would amount to about 15 minutes of a their maintenance staff's time to put the lock back. Using the typical rates I've seen the boards here use for that kind of unspecialized work, you'd be out about $5-8.

2. Sue you: For what? What outcome are they trying to have the court enforce? The court isn't going to order the lock put back and effectively enforce an illegal lockout.

3. Evict you: They already tried to do that via an illegal lockout. I cannot see any board here ordering an eviction in response to changing locks in a way that the landlord's access was never restricted--it's completely disproportionate. They're also generally not going to order an eviction over something that could be easily rectified without an eviction (put the old lock back on, matter's settled, everyone go home).

The "courts" are people, not computers blindly applying a set of instructions. If their options here are (1) to enforce putting the lock back and lock you out of your unit; (2) to evict you because your smartphone isn't compatible with the lock the landlord wants to use; or (3) tell the landlord to kick rocks and fix their damn locks, I'd put my money on #3.

(I'm an involuntary landlord in Canada. I've had to argue in front of a tenancy board--the "court" with original jurisdiction over disputes under the tenancy act--a time or two or thirty. In preparation for that, I've probably read more previous decisions than some of the people _making_ those decisions. IANAL YMMV offer not valid in conjunction with any other offers or promotions HTH HAND.)
iPhones have had Power Reserve for a few years now. For up to around 5 hours after your phone turns off due to low battery you can still use things like Find My or Express Card transactions (payment, transit, car home hotel keys, student ids). Unfortunately, Latch doesn't support this. Oh, and Latch automatically locks the door behind you. Don't forget your phone when you take out the trash, get the mail, or pick up dry laundry.

Frankly, it is difficult to "address" a subjective opinion without having been given the criteria for a satisfactory answer. But I will try: being a responsible adult includes contributing to national defense.
I never rented an EV but everyone I encountered with an EV rental had received it unexpectedly from Hertz and was struggling to charge it.

It you want to give people a poor opinion of EVs, dump them in a rental EV and tell them it needs to be returned with 80% charge and don't offer any support on how to do that.
Ask HN: Would you use a .dev domain for a personal email address?
I've got a pretty good and short .dev domain and am considering making a new primary email address with it. However, I've previously seen email deliverability issues with a .life domain where emails sent from the domain would silently be ignored (not even sent to spam). I would definitely not want to get burned by that on a personal email. I also intend to create new website accounts so it would be critical that emails get delivered like normal.

Does anyone have experience using this domain for a personal email?
I swear I've seen one of the cloudflare CXO level employees show up during a previous divisive HN article, I wouldn't be surprised if someone shows up here.
Yep. 11 out of the 50 states require all parties who are being recorded to consent. For instance, in California it's not legal to record secretly: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...
The subtler issues:

* All of the following exist and are distinct:

* File descriptor (for as long as it's open)
* File descriptor number (can be replaced by close+open or dup\*; there are also special values like `AT_FDCWD`, `OPENMAX` (not necessarily equal to `FD_SETSIZE` or what `ulimit` limits you to)
* Open file description (unchanged across dup and fork ...)
* Files (e.g. separate open() calls that happen to refer to the same file, whether by the same name or not)
* File names

* file descriptors to special files, to things that are not files, to files outside of the current chroot, to files from a directory that has been mounted over, to files that have been moved or deleted

* what exactly does mmap hold on to?

* recvmsg cmsg can make file descriptors appear. Fortunately this is the most common use of cmsg, but remember you can get more than you request (but IIRC there's no clean way to get the number given, the API is underspecified)

* There's really nothing special about file descriptors 0, 1, and 2; they're just a strong convention that processes tend to have open at fork time. In practice, you can live without stdin and stdout, but stderr can be written to by all sorts of library functions.

* seriously, use `O_CLOEXEC` by default people!

* representing FD ownership can be tricky
On a side note, there is a link on the right with an OpenShift tutorial, which has to have one of the worst UI I've seen lately. It's like they can't fit on a page a documentation, a terminal and a "Next" button, they have to make you scroll 3 different areas of the pages and never display everything at once, on 1080p...
I think it's the McNamara fallacy taking hold over time.

>But when the McNamara discipline is applied too literally, the first step is to measure whatever can be easily measured. The second step is to disregard that which can't easily be measured or given a quantitative value. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. The fo[u]rth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.

Cutting corners on something can save money now and can be measured but the hit to reputation can't be.

is it selfhostable? or can it only be used on your instance?
Agreed. Maybe I have become too much of a PHB, but I find that engineers (or scientists in my case) really love having cost as one of the visible metrics to optimize for, and will generally do a fantastic job at evaluating it amongst quality concerns. At least much better than management can do.

You can define your guard clauses as macros and have them always log a warning and still have your debug log before the final return. See e.g. g_return_if_fail/reached and g_return_val_if_fail/reached in glib/gmessages.h.

Early returns can definitely cause bugs, but here we're talking about basic sanity checks and argument validation, not about program logic. Their purpose is if any of those checks fail we are in a very bad state and there's no point on entering the function at all.
Yeah but petrol cars weren't serviced as well as now when they started (arguably with a much longer range per much faster "charge", maybe). EVs are probably going to be a good idea, it'll just take time.

Imagine in 1995 saying emails will never replace sending around documents at the office, just because there wasn't any infra yet. Wait a bit, or even help !

Before Google bought Nest, I even remember Nest made sure their products could all communicate with each other on the local network without the Internet. Nest devices set up a local network for themselves in the IPv6 ULA range. IPv6 addresses are so plentiful that a made-up ULA network won't cause any problems. I thought that was a pretty clever technique to ensure falling back to offline use. It did generate some questions on various online forums when people discuss Nest home devices were sending out IPv6 RAs.

I guess but cannot confirm that Google has continued this practice. It didn't seem like the problems you mention exist, unless Google did something stupid and disabled all of this perfectly working functionality.

Insurance is not free money. Hypothetically say I was losing a car once per month… then my premiums would reflect that. The purpose of insurance in that hypothetical would be to insure against losing 2 cars per month but I would be paying for that first lost car in full because at that point, it’s not a risk… it’s a consistent monthly cost.
No, it is just a chatroom when done correctly. Chatrooms have different forms, long and short.

Like, in what context? If we're just talking about harassing shipping, that they're doing this to harm Israel and the actual motivation for that is aiding the Palestinians. That would probably require one to believe that when their leaders say things like, "Arab countries and all Islamic countries will not be safe from Jews except through their eradication and the elimination of their entity," they're merely kidding about the genocide.

I'm not sure how to steelman Islamism generally. Religion doesn't belong in government anymore, this isn't the Middle Ages.
We have a fan/light in our bedroom that has a single switch and two chain pulls. We use smart bulbs for that light (I think it was $30 for two, so that the fan can function independently. Also avoids the need to install a custom light switch. I suppose if the bulbs burn out faster than other LED bulbs, it might be worth it to do something else. But if the bulbs last a decent amount of time, and assuming prices keep going down, I imagine we'll get smart bulbs again to replace them.

Yes, Republican Party political tactics - pretty consistent since at least 2000 - have been effective. Why would they stop until someone stops them? Did you think those power-brokers, the vested interests, would make it easy? That is the nature of politics. It's not an exception; that's life; the enemy will fight.

FWIW, Obama avoided confrontation; he never confronted them and stopped them. Same with Hillary Clinton, same with Biden, same with most of the Dem congressional leaders. Why would anyone, except the most brain-dead or blind, follow leaders who won't even stand up for themselves, who exhibit cowardice when confronted with even the most vile, absurd foes?

And against them, you have the truth, good faith, good health and finances and everything else on your side. It couldn't be easier, in may respects.

I've said way more than enough. It's really an absurd situation. Stop talking to me and get to work.

> But it is the way things work

Sure, it's the way things are done. What I'm questioning is why it should even be expected to "work", apart from people's seemingly misguided sense that what essentially amounts to a request for a tip is somehow a binding debt they're obligated to pay. What you've described is the exact same set up as a waiter at a restaurant. And yet despite waiters often handling identifying information, nobody gets a post-hoc bill in mail asking for arbitrary table service fees. And if some waiter did try this hustle, the recipient would likely roll their eyes and toss it in the bin.

> Your deductible is not payable to the insurance company; they require the billing entity to collect it themselves

Sure. I wouldn't call this backwards - rather inconvenient but still legally sound. The provider enters into a contract with the "insurance" company that requires this. The customer enters into a contract with the provider by requesting and using their service, so the provider can bill the customer.

What you (and most of the industry) are somehow claiming is that even though the patient already has a business arrangement with the hospital for treatment, that the hospital calling in a subcontractor means that subcontractor is somehow entitled to bill the patient directly despite having no business relationship.
