Typically, VC funds don't have much cash on hand, and when they make an investment, they issue a capital call to the limited partners (LPs) in the fund. The LPs then are on the hook to send money for the investment, typically within a week or two.

So, a $100M VC fund is really a commitment by the LPs to wire $100M over the course of ~5-8 years.

LPs do all sorts of different things to manage the money they've committed but not yet invested.
> Just push the wiper button on the left stalk and you can cycle through the speed settings with the left funky switch

Yes, they added this relatively recently. For the first few years I owned the car this was not possible. Also, guess what, it still sucks! More steps than a physical control, fiddly because of the short timeout, and still requires an extra step of looking at the touchscreen because you can't know which way to push the wheel without finding out the current setting. Is it on "Auto" or "Off"? They're at opposite ends of the menu. Acceptable for something less important like setting the A/C temperature; definitively not acceptable for something safety critical like wipers.
It's worth mentioning that the founders were no longer with the company, and the terms of their prior exit are not public:

> In this case, the minority shareholders are FanDuel's original founders, Nigel and Lesley Eccles, Tom Griffiths, Rob Jones, and Chris Stafford. None of the original co-founders still work at FanDuel, and it doesn't look like their original efforts will be rewarded — according to the deal documents, they're not going to make any money at all off of the company's sale. Of course, it's not clear what the financial terms were surrounding their departures from the company, and they could have negotiated a pay package [1]

Getting precisely zero is not terribly likely if the founders are still with the company, since they would typically be considered key to the value of the company (at least for a time).

There is/was apparently also a lawsuit about this deal. [2]

> Lets not go overboard with the claims we make about government contracting.

That's more or less true though?

There's no need to debate semantics when the criteria NASA used are very clearly laid out in the source selection statement [0]. It is plain that SpaceX was selected because it met the technical requirements, provided the best value for the government, and fit within NASA's budget for the program (indeed, was the only proposal that did so).

There's also the GAO report which more or less says the same thing with more detail and confirms NASA's judgement [1].

And, I'm no expert on contracting, but it is my understanding that "meeting requirements" and "achieving the best value" are criteria that are supposed to underpin all government contracts, not something unique to that particular contract.

If you interact with babies, you'll notice that they are looking at you with an astonished intensity. That's because every neuron in their brain is trying to understand "What is going on!?"

Humans are copy-machines. We copy each other. Toddlers and infants especially so. They don't learn by just hearing voices, they need to see how these sounds are made by a real human being with a real voice-box and real lips and real tongue, in which context they are used.

Have you ever noticed gesturing while talking to someone on the phone? That's because we constantly try to enrich the words we are making with more context.

All that is missing if toddlers are just looking at a screen. It's devastating for learning.
Well at least they would have no one else to blame but themselves. As far as I remember it was the pilots that insisted on the shuttle to be not be 100% automated, so they had to do it this way. The soviets just made the whole shuttle automated so it could be tested without risk to crew.

I would be very surprised if there is no improvement if the codec is biased towards particular dialects or other distinctive subsets of the data. And we could certainly be fine with some kinds of bias. Speech codecs are intended to transmit human speech after all. Not that of dogs, bats, or hypothetical extraterrestrials. On the other hand, a wider dataset might reduce overfitting and force the model to learn better.

If the codec has the intention of working best for human voice in general, then it is simply not possible to define sensible subsets of the user base to optimize for. Curating an appropriate training set has therefore technical impact on the performance of the codec. Realistically, I admit that the percentages of speech samples of languages in such a dataset would be according to the relative amount of speakers. This is of course a very fuzzy number with many sources of systematic error (like what counts as one language, do non-native speakers count, which level of proficiency is considered relevant, etc.), and ultimately English is a bit more important since it is de-facto the international lingua franca of this era.

In short, a good training set is important unless one opines that certain subsets of humanity will never ever use the codec, which is equivalent to being blind to the reality that more and more parts of the world are getting access to the internet.
They are unlikely to show the full cap table. Consider asking for the most recent 409a valuation, the total shares outstanding, and the size and liquidation preference of the past rounds. That’s a smaller ask that will give you the most important info.

Most likely you already know the answer.

In a fantasy scenario, you could take the stock they’re offering and demand to have a more senior stake and a 5x liquidation preference.

I live in London, UK. There are 4 airports in the greater London area. But the distance to closest airport means little. I never get to chose: given the airline and destination, that narrows it down to 1 of these airports; or on rare occasions 2, and then I chose based on flight price and time of day, and only then proximity.
Yep, although the qualified small business stock exemption comes in handy if/when that happens. You get to exempt a percentage of the gain of the sale of your stock, and if you roll over the gain into other QSBS (by investing in startups, for example), you can defer the non-exempted portion.
Interesting!

It's just what are the odds of 10% of a billion vs 100% of a million.

Without any statistics at all to back this comment, I bet there are a magnitures more software companies out there that have made people 100% of a million, vs 10% of a billon. You're talking such a small pool (which might seem large in HN terms) when in reality there's an incredible number of small software companies globally.

Classifying all erosion of privacy as equivalent is dangerously reductionist. Being able to track someone's internet activity by buying information from commercial data brokers is not the same as a government forcing everyone to follow a regimented disclosure process, under pain of imprisonment.

In the former, there is considerably more consent, some level of flexibility in how data is disclosed and some possibility of user mitigation. In the latter, none of these things are possible. It's a straight jacket for society, with the net effect being massively less fundamental liberty and more centralization of power around the state.

Just look at mandated KYC processes in finance, and the enormous costs they impose — in time wasted and intimate private information involuntarily exposed — on hundreds of millions of law-abiding consumers and businesses, while massively constraining the space for innovation in finance, by mandating a regimented PII disclose process that precludes the development of better processes for providing safety and accountability.

This is not the same as people's voluntarily disclosed financial data being available to buy from commercial data brokers, that incurs none of these costs on society.

It’s been illuminating seeing the hong kong public library « harmonized » after the national security law. No books criticizing the cpp are allowed nowadays.

You won’t find cartoons by Zunzi anymore nor will you find back issues of Apple Daily. The entire political history of hong kong as recorded by published media has been sanitized to ensure that the overly sensitive overlords find nothing that might prick their ego.

So it doesn’t matter if the public library is a nice space with good architecture and a comfortable reading space. If only the official sanctioned viewpoints are available then it fails at the real objective of libraries: To allow people to enrich their mind by giving them multiple viewpoints so that they may forge their own opinions.

If one considers how desperately Microsoft tries to squeeze additional revenue from Windows (forced cloud account, ads, browser war 2.0) one has to wonder at what point they'll simply shut down OS (i.e., kernel and plumbing-level user-space tools) development completely.

I mean yes, it has been a proud piece of Microsoft but the OG NT kernel team probably left by now and from a management perspective it doesn't offer any revenue to develop an OS kernel.

Otoh, how big is their OS engineering team? Drivers are usually developed elsewhere. So maybe 100 folks or so? With a relatively low quota of non-devs, I assume? So Microsoft would potentially save what, tens of millions of dollars per year? Maybe they just continue this as some kind of tradition department.

That's a nice thought but the computer will probably lose security updates in the next 10 years.

And that really annoys me. The press release says that the new computer is "built to last" and I'm sure that's true, physically. I have a 2015 Macbook Pro which works fine (obv. slower than a modern computer but fine for everything I need to do), it does still get security updates (it's two OSs behind the current macOS at the moment), but I think the time until it doesn't is probably measured in months.

As I say, it works perfectly, was indeed "built to last", but I guess I'm going to have to throw it away (bad for the environment) and buy a new one soon?

That also makes me less enthusiastic about dropping huge amounts of money when I do finally buy a new laptop.

My potentially hot take is Blue in Green is Coltrane's best solo on the album. It's purely a taste thing, the best way I can describe it is Coltrane frequently breaks my sense of immersion in a song.

These two posts have awoken old memories for me, because I used BartPE and I had a "magic" bootable MSDOS diskette.

I remember I also created a custom Windows NT build for a company I worked for around 1999. They had about 6 different models of Compaq workstation, and a dozen different departments. They had a disk imaging solution, rather than implement automated pxe builds. That's fine, except that nobody in the team had any "craft". Because NT isn't plug and play and each department had different software, we had about 20+ NT images, each with its own personality (ie major flaws, like hard-coded WINS servers, being already joined to a domain, old user profiles, broken software installations, old drivers). The day I joined the team, the phone rang constantly from 8am to closing time. If you walked around the building to do a desk visit, 20 people would shout at you, "hey IT guy, take a look at this PC, will you?". Coming from a hardware support background I had installed MS stuff thousands of times and got my MCSE, but Lotus Notes, Sunguard, Bloomberg and their awful VB6 apps (unpackaged collecting of dlls and instructions) had a short learning curve. After I figured that stuff out I created a single NT build with everything working perfectly. I cleaned up, defragged, ran sysprep. It used NT's hardware profiles to make the build work on any model of desktop (which just required imaging a new model, creating a profile for it and installing all the drivers. Rinse and repeat 6 times). Then I burned the highly compressed NT image along with ghost.exe onto a CD, and handed copies to the other 2 helpdesk guys. Anyone who called IT over the few weeks, regardless of their issue, got a rebuild. Result? Immediate reduction in workload. So we proactively worked through the whole company. Things were so tranquil afterwards, we could go around to department heads asking if there was any "real" IT work that needed to be done.
