Lawyer. Lawyer lawyer lawyer. This is the only answer. You don't need to go in guns blazing, but you do need good legal counsel even before you talk to your business partner. A lawyer will be able to tell you your rights, what you don't have rights to (even more important), and the probable result of various courses of action. You will also have much more confidence when it comes time to have the discussion, because you have gotten help and will understand the situation a lot more clearly. Seriously: GET. A. LAWYER.

Imagine you had an application that could do cool stuff.

But nobody knew what cool stuff it could do unless they digged up a webpage from 2006.

That's the modern web browser.

The lack of discoverability in modern UI design is reaching utterly ridiculous levels. And I firmly believe the lack of main menus and statusbars is to blame.

Look at how ridiculous this is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Alternative...

Firefox used to have this in its main menu. You could stumble across it. Now nobody knows it even exists and they think light/dark themes are a real alternative to the full spectrum of colors and designs we could have before (if only webmasters implemented it, which they never did (but anyways I blame browsers for this because very few people even knew they could add alternative stylesheets to their own websites and users had no notification that they could switch rendering the incredible feature pretty much useless all the time)). Then browsers look at their metrics and how nobody is using the feature they told nobody about and decide to stop supporting it because why would they support a feature nobody uses, right?

Reddit had entire subdomains to do what Firefox could do with a single click in the main menu.

There could be a key that if I press it Chrome sends me to the search box at the bottom of this page, and I will never know about it because when I click the search box there isn't a status bar unintrusively hinting to me "hey, heads up, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to quickly go to this box ;)" and I don't think we'll ever get that back.
Because while a few people find this an interesting surprise, more people have it fully priced in to their worldview, either (among some other possibilities) because they are active participants or because they are critics of capitalism from schools of thought where the incentive to an ubiquity of this kind of behavior is central to the critique.

Its really mostly a surprising revelation to outer-circle initiates of the cult of capitalism, who have been indoctrinated in the public propaganda used for recruitment but are ignorant of the inner mysteries.
Yes "error" or "mistake" fits better than "bug". That's a general problem with the term though.
Well, Venus doesn't generate its magnetic field via geodynamo. Instead, it has some sort of weak magnetosphere induced by the interaction of the solar wind with the planet's ionosphere.
Also even without this magnetic field, I guess the volatile processes on the surface are enough to keep the atmosphere going.
>>> month ago, we welcomed a new research assistant into our group. Subsequently, she and my friend started a personal relationship and are planning to marry

This seems rather quick.

Would you hire her at 10% if she weren't sleeping with a co-founder? You could suggest to your co-founder that he give her some of his equity.
Not surprising.

The economics of doing graduate school as an American just don't make sense (outside of those closely affiliated with DoE labs).

For a foreigner (Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Iranian) the incentive of getting a path to naturalization along with degree normalization is enough incentive (as you yourself probably know).

No American employer is going to hire a LUMS or UET graduate directly, and if you don't want to work in the Gulf or in Pakistan, your only option is graduate school, especially because there aren't as many MNCs to sponsor an L1/2

Top tier foreign talent gets brought directly via L1/2 programs (like my parents a couple decades ago) as MNCs will transfer the cream of the crop to HQ.

In cases like Pakistan and increasingly China, where MNCs don't have full ownership or are non-existent, the only path is graduate school.

Same thing used to happen to Israelis and Indians in the 1980s.
I assume this is for GNOME.

When speaking of Fedora Workstation or Fedora as a whole, then GNOME is the implied desktop environment.

Any other desktop environment is delivered via what they call "spin".
I guess since you are using the Cinnamon spin, you probably already knew that, though. :)
I agree with this. If she's adding value and her input is worth her place on the cap table then it should be easy to resolve.

You do need to think carefully about what a breakup would look like. Relationships can go sour and if that happened what would the arrangement be if they couldn't work together.

Also, who makes the decisions? Does her allocation give them both a majority of voting rights?

It's not a typical arrangement, that doesn't mean it can't work but your co-founder has added complexity into the process.

Right - he repeatedly said he wanted a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the country and then directed his legal staff to find a legal way to do so… pointing at the hamfisted EO that attempted to toe the line of the clearly unconstitutional order to excuse it is pretty obviously bad faith.
I’d delete this, especially as it has your name, and have this conversation with both of them.

If she’s supposed to be part of your founding team, this is something you should be able to work through.

If you can’t come to an agreement, be glad you found out now rather than in a year or two
It's very interesting. I think you have to book ahead for a tour these days.
I'm not sure I'd quite count this as Forth; it's more of a very simple monitor for loading and running code. It's not a bad approach for use with a host Forth though.
> Krita also has an entire menu of ways to adjust colours,

Yes it does, but it does not have all the tools that Gimp provides.

> and can do them in high bit depth as non-destructive Filter Masks by default

I need to "destructively" modify images more often than non-destructively.

> There is no dedicated "Brightness/Contrast" adjustment anymore, because, as the linked page notes, that functionality is just a specialized subset of the Color Adjustment Curves/Levels.

You can most likely get some similar result if you play around with the curves but it is certainly not as simple or easy as having a dedicated brightness/contrast filter like you can find in other image editing applications. Having that specialization might feel unnecessary for developers who are used to trying to make things more generic, but from a UX perspective it can be very preferable (if your goal is to make an image editing application - from the perspective of a 2D digital painting application, this sort of specialization may indeed feel like UI bloat).

As i mentioned in my original message it isn't so much that you can't do things in Krita, it is more that the stuff that exist are often clunkier and the more you need outside "2D digital painting", the more limitations and clunkiness you face.
Inappropriate generalizing. What are you, the logic police? Let it go.
Who says she isn't vesting? The standard is that even 50/50 cofounders have a vesting schedule.

> There is SPC literature to deal with non-normal distributions using non-parametric statistics. But I haven't bought and digested the relevant books.

Do you happen to know which they are? This has intrigued me for a long time but when I asked Wheeler he was skeptical of doing it that way.
https://www.gannons.co.uk/insights/good-leaver-and-bad-leave...

As other said, he doesn't just want to give 10%, he wants you to give 5%.

Getting a cofounder is like getting into a marriage, you should be able to discuss this with your cofounder and explain plainly the issues you're seeing.
Yeah I think there's a great argument to be made for that. I wish all my tax money went to stuff like this. But in that case it's not a benefit for the poor, it's a benefit for the taxpayer. It's the false advertising that I take issue with.
Note the Eurostar is perhaps an especially bad example in terms of affordability, versus most HSR in Europe:

* the Channel Tunnel has very high access charges (because construction was very expensive, and as a private entity it took on a lot of debt and wants to pay that off!), and

* the terminals in both London and Paris are too small for the time taken by border control now the UK is no longer in the EU (which has led to Eurostar running fewer trains—but the demand has hardly decreased).
> There is a workaround: I installed the compiler using the same command on my WSL

Actually you only need to have a relatively complete linux under /compat/linux. You could even chroot into that and do the oneapi install.

The trillion dollar question is: can you get the intel discrete gpu to work, compiling for and running on the gpu?
I wonder if at my medical institution a new research assistant would get 10% equity in the the lab that two other Senior researchers run. Would they justify that by saying well they've helped us with forming partnerships.
As expected: closer, but not much closer. FTA: “we give a new bound of ω<2.371866 […]. Our result breaks the lower bound of 2.3725”

AFAIK the current theoretical lower bound still is 2, so that’s only 600-ish more such steps to get there.

On the positive side, I don’t think anybody believes that 2 even remotely is a tight bound.

> It doesn't appear that pro-grade cameras fall the same way though

I wonder if cameras are just too durable and don’t need to be upgraded as often?

Even a consumer camera will last you roughly forever in my experience. I still use a DSLR from 2015 that works great and does everything I need.
Call it second-largest, the point still holds.
> Honestly if I were in your position, I'd be more worried that my close friend and co-founder is already planning to marry someone that they've only been in a relationship with for less than a month.

Yeah, this is very unusual and could indicate some other "issues" (love-bombing? both sides simply being well-natured but immature?)
Possibly they thought it would appear as their business-as-usual Google related traffic flows.

That's ultimately why the loser of a civil case should be on the hook for all attorneys fees and court costs. I'd actually go further and argue that a plaintiff who initiates a frivolous lawsuit should have to pay damages to the victim for the losses caused by having to defend such a case.

No problem, he can give her 10% of his share. Otherwise no way.
Being a bit more empathic to the author, the frustration expressed is understandable and it's VERY HARD to put yourself in Ben Shapiro's shoes, even if it is for the greater goal of being able to call him stupid without being considered "apathetic".
I guess you could grant the equity on a standard vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff, but would your co-founder be comfortable firing her if it doesn't work out? You could also try more creative arrangements like performance-based equity tranche releases but I'd guess she'll find that insulting.

I personally wouldn't accept it, it dilutes your team's equity and opens up a huge can of worms around conflict resolution, and founder conflicts kill companies. I would think of this as-if your cofounder is asking for an additional 10% on his or her stake, because that's de facto what it's going to be. Your cofounder frankly also hardly knows this woman despite the fact that he or she rushed into marriage.
> I'm concerned about the fairness of this decision to other team members who have been with us for over a year, contributing significantly to our project. Additionally, I feel somewhat sidelined, as my friend and the new member often reach consensus without involving me in the preliminary discussions.

It sounds like even without the 10%, this already creates an unfair (harassment?) environment for other team members. Even without equity being assigned, the message to your team is "if you manage to become a serious romantic partner or fiancee of one of the founders, you get greater influence and involvement in making important decisions."
You cannot escape your DNA... Other than American Indians, everyone else in the USA emigrated there. So you can assimilate another culture, but ethnically (DNA-wise) you will always carry your ancestry around, and so will your descendants.
Your friend can give her the 10% from his own equity. Simple as.
Wow, a 16,000 word article, I'll just have AI summarize it for me ;)
good news! By marrying them your cofounder is already giving them 50% of their equity, and you don’t have to do a thing.

Gaza had an airport until 2005 or so, but it was bombed.

Gaza also has a political system - Hamas was elected, same as Likud. I'd say it's probably not working right now, for obvious reasons.

> The status quo is what the people of Israel want (revealed preference by their votes). And Palestinians don't get a vote.

Politics is rarely that clear-cut. The electorate was shaped by their environment and rarely sees what has been painted as impossible.
> Some people even fail to remember anything.

This is me. Part of the reason is that there is a never-ending torrent of problems that need to be solved. You've got this really tricky issue sorted out? Great, there is more stuff waiting down the line. This doesn't leave room for remembering and acknowledging the significance of things.

However, there are some things that I actually am proud of, now that I think about it. But these are the moments, when I'm able to help a coworker with some technical obstacle and I've solved the issue within a few minutes because it's easy for me to see what's wrong. It's the exact opposite of a herculean effort but it causes a huge relief for my coworkers. But is this something that a recruiter would want to hear? I doubt it. They are more interested in me taking care of my tasks instead of the tasks of other people.

I am sure that if the RPi Foundation can do it, Qualcomm can as well.
It's pretty rare to give someone 10%+ equity after a business has been operating for several years. Even if you brought on a professional CEO, I wouldn't expect to see that. I've seen some founders put together special agreements to transfer some of their own shares to a person recognizing that they'll be taking over a big part of their own role and that it wouldn't be fair to dilute the rest of the company.

Regardless of what you do, make sure there is a vesting schedule in place (e.g. a 4 year vest + 1 year cliff).
I looked up 56K modem on amazon, here's some current use cases from reviews.

The medical industry still relies on fax for some documents. This applies to some computer software as well and using email isn't allowed. So, to go along with these archaic standards I needed a modem. This model works with Windows 10 and Server 2019, and will most likely be supported for the next versions.

We now recommend this modem to our customers to connect to our industrial product (often installed in areas with marginal phone lines). Nothing fancy required - we're just communicating at 9600 baud - but this modem just seems to work better than others for our application (e.g. compared to Zoom/Hayes external serial, Zoom USB, internal PC modem).

In all seriousness we use an outdated service to run credit cards for a restaurant. Our old one stopped working so I purchased the exact same one we had. Plug and play. Works great. Was surprised it was still sold on Amazon!

I don't own stock in any of the companies mentioned in the article, although I do own tech stocks.

And I'm not suggesting I have a relationship with any of them, parasocial or otherwise.

I wasn't trying to suggest we treat them like people or put them above us or give them a pass... I simply meant that getting rid of them completely could possibly eliminate the problem being discussed, but would also throw out a lot of value that they created and I didn't think that was the best solution.
"A total of 304 patients were enrolled in the study, and 257 completed a mean (±SD) follow-up of 33.7±6.9 months. Polyethylene was detected in carotid artery plaque of 150 patients (58.4%), with a mean level of 21.7±24.5 μg per milligram of plaque; 31 patients (12.1%) also had measurable amounts of polyvinyl chloride, with a mean level of 5.2±2.4 μg per milligram of plaque."

- 21.7±24.5 μg per milligram is 0% to 4.62% by weight

- 5.2±2.4 μg per milligram is 0% to 0.76% by weight

This means that some patients' plaque contained up to 5% plastic.
Huh. This plays incredibly similarly to Slime Volleyball. https://oneslime.net/

I wonder if there's a connection, like an earlier game that inspired both. Slime Volleyball came later than Pikachu Volleyball.
Where would the market fit be for a university to buck the trend? Those who want to fund research will hire the researchers themselves in order to retain ownership and control. Those who want to learn for the sake of learning turn to the internet. There is no money to be made here.

The money is in selling sports and status. The students want to be milked as a care-free willingness to be milked is what establishes the status. An efficiently run university doesn't reflect well. It's the glitz and glamour that gets people's attention (especially employer attention).

The only reason I moved to zsh is because I'm lazy, and macOS ships with it by default.

If said illegal/legal immigrants took up arms, killed my population and declared a separate state in what was my state, then yes. But people crossing a border illegally just makes them immigrants without immigration approval.
> chose not to, same with Indians

Not anymore. It's because of visa and naturalization backlogs.

When I was a kid growing up in the 90s and 2000s, it was common for Chinese nationals to naturalize and become citizens.

When the Chinese backlog reached a decade long 10-20 years ago, a lot of top tier Chinese talent decided to return to China because employment visa hell sucks and the Chinese private sector formalized and grew.

The same thing has started to happen with Indians as well (and happened to Koreans and Taiwanese in the 80s)

A Tsinghua or Jiaotong grad might have an incentive to do graduate school in the US or work here a couple years, but there's no point spending 5-7 years to naturalize when you can return to China and get funded or get tenure.

A similar thing has started happening in India as well at tier 1 IITs and then like.

Sure, but to the degree we’ve made progress on the problem of governance, it’s been in proving the necessity of government. Anarchist collectives far well until someone comes to take their stuff; this is basically the warlord era of any civilisation.
It matters to other auto producers countries to protect their industries, which is just a handful of countries. Hence the rhetoric from these countries that PRC auto having excess capacity is a problem, when it's just competition. As if PRC producers not entitled to grabbing as much share as they can. IMO PRC fine with building plants abroad, and is doing so. Also fine with PRC level of import tariffs, since they have no issue competing on price. But that's also what makes it none starter in said countries, since PRC producers are positioned to out compete domestic brands if allowed in comparable PRC JV or tariff arrangements. So I think ultimately foreign brands are out in PRC, and PRC brands out in foreign car producing countries, and the fight is over shares from RoW non producers. Which is just as well, because the big picture is exporting PRC charging standards, loading cars with PRC chips and all the knock on affects, stuff that makes unfettered PRC cars in nonfriendly PRC markets even less feasible.

I didn't say US net exporters, I said some US auto companies in segments RoW demands makes significant % of revenue from export market. Which will likely be same for PRC - most producers / models will stay domestic. The few that ventures abroad for export share has no reason not to aim high. In that context 10% is not excess capacity, it's just the beginning.
