Best practices in many cases are to incorporate with as little expenditure as possible, then clean up the mess ASAP when you get on stable financial footing (e.g. funded). Most top firms will strike a deal with promising companies: all payments are waived until <milestone> in exchange for <percent> of equity. A typical milestone is a financing of $1mm or more, and the percent is usually <1%, varying by the firm and the optimisim about the startup.

Another reasonable approach would be to start with documents like this. However, if you do this, you would be much better off to use Orrick. That's because each firm's standard documents are significantly different. If you use someone else's, they will have to come up to speed - on your dime. They will also likely want you to make amendments and changes to bring the documents in to line with what they consider best practices.

Then, years down the line, when it comes time to litigate something (hopefully not), you'll have lawyers who know your company's paperwork intimately, vs. dealing with unexpected details (e.g. your company is a WA corp instead of a DE corp so you have to send papers by courier instead of faxes, delaying your closing by 3 days, costing the company a few thousand dollars lost interest payments on a $10mm round).

Take it from someone who's spent many tens of thousands of dollars cleaning up after extremely smart lawyers who did things that were just a little bit wrong. The sooner you get represented by top-tier legal counsel, the better.
They've unified their UI by making it suck everywhere. I'm still upset over the Xbox UI change. It's just terrible.
I like the general thrust of your comment, but can you demonstrate that Social Text was insignificant? At the time of the hoax I asked some lit and art history grad student pals and I'm pretty sure they thought it was notable in some neck of the academic woods.

If Glen Coco (The author) never "got" art I'm not sure why he devoted so much of his life to it. I felt like this article was a farce.

I've often contemplated writing a blog post titled "Art analysis for the uninitiated". If you'd be interested please let me know.

Some analysis from an art student:

1st piece with the flowers: This looks to be an homage to still life paintings. Still lifes are about the cycle of life; Birth, Life, and Death. Seems pretty straightforward to me but then again I'm "initiated".

2nd piece with the woman in the desert: I couldn't tell you exactly what the artist was looking to portray but to debunk the "how quickly they'd be skipping over this photo if it was in their mom's holiday snapshots" line, I'd assume that is exactly the point. See Duchamp's Urinal fountain for more along this idea of "things out of traditional context".

the 4th piece (film): Art is either done without reason or with specific reason. The chairs, the screen and the video all have a reason for being the way that they are. It's your choice to interpret this but don't dismiss what the artist is saying because you are scared to "look like a twat".

I can go on and on but I think I've made my point. This has meaning. It may not be valuable to you but then again no one forced you to view this art.
I didn't say "wipe OSX, iOS, Android and Windows from the face of the earth". And Linux itself is sooo far from a "monoculture".

Most of the generators I'm aware of require this for maintenance purposes anyway - without running them occasionally the lubricants will freeze up and sieze the engine.
That's how it was with our iPhone and Androids too on the first day we got them

You're correct. It goes battery then generator. If they didn't use battery first, then when the power initial failed all systems would be off-line as the generator takes about 15-30 seconds to kick in.
What's it called when poor people put it on the wall?
I used to think the exact same thing, somehow I think I was really just afraid that someone would see thing thing embedded in me if I ever had my shirt off. When I finally got a pump I realized that it simultaneously keeps itself out of the way while allowing me quick access to my (approximate) levels. I can give my self insulin mid sentence in a board room meeting. I can see my levels dipping and get a lifesaver before it sets in. The worst that ever happens is that someone asks what the hell I am doing with a pager.

In short, the pump CGM combo it is the best thing I have ever done.
In my time at larger companies, DC power seems to be one of the weakest links in the reliability chain. Even planned maintenance often goes wrong ("well we started the generator test and the lights went out, that wasn't supposed to happen. Sorry your racks are dead").

Usually the root cause appears simple - a dead fan, breaker set to the wrong threshold, alarm that didn't trigger, incorrect component picked during design phase, or whatever else that gets the blame - things it would seem to a software guy that good processes could mitigate.

Can any electrical engineers elaborate on why power networks fail (in my experience at least) so frequently? I guess failure modes (e.g. lightning strike) are hard to test, but surely an industry this old has techniques. Is it perhaps a cost issue?
I'm excited about Metro. I've hated every one of my Windows experiences to date. So I'm in a different boat from most people, who are probably upset about the changes, which will require learning something new with dubious benefits. But for me, I might actually find Windows useable for the first time (where the payoff of using it exceeds the effort to use it).

If you're going to condemn a whole field, I think you have to be able to demonstrate that you have a reasonably broad understanding of the field.

If somebody says they hate vegetables but their experience is limited to one attempt to eat creamed spinach in 1985, it's not a fallacy to say they don't know what they're talking about.

From what I can remember of a datacenter tour, most generators supply power to the batteries, which then supply power to servers. The batteries can only supply a few minutes (I think) of power, so the generators need to turn on immediately.
Your lucid explanation of postmodernism is great. Thanks.
The title is misleading. It really should be "Why postmodernism is largely ignored by science (and mostly everyone else)."

Battery backup isn't usually considered a "failover" step, just like your desktop battery backup doesn't actually do much other than stop charging when the power goes out.

Datacenters only really have battery backup to let the emergency generators come up.

> CPUs could be socket instead of soldered, adding what? 1mm at most? Never been done.

My Toshiba Satellite in 1999 had a socketed AMD K6-II 380Mhz cpu, which I upgraded 10 years later as a "I wonder if...?" exercise before junking the computer.
The batteries at colocation facilities are only designed to hold power long enough to transfer to the generator. They're also a huge single point of failure. A better design is a flywheel that generates enough power. But datacenters are often hit with these generator failures (in my experience, once every year or so.)

Amazon had a correct setup--but not great testing.

By the way, these are great questions to ask of your datacenter provider: Are there two completely redundant power systems up to and including the PDUs and generators? How often are those tested? How do I set up my servers properly so that if one circuit/PDU/generator fails, I don't lose power?

There is a "right way" to do this--multiple power supplies in every server connected to 2 PDUs connected to 2 different generators--but it's expensive, and many/most low-end hosting providers won't set this up due to the cost.

(I ran a colocation/dedicated server company from 2001-2007.)
I can't claim to 'get' art, but I absolutely love beauty. Some art is beautiful. Other art sucks. I think the key is to find and appreciate things that you consider beautiful and ignore all the critics, trust fund collectors, and scenesters...
Installing Nginx With PHP5 (And PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support…
He's correct or incorrect, and that entirely depends on the facility. Many newer datacenters don't use battery banks--they are expensive to maintain and often cause more failures than they prevent.
It's still true if you enlarge your conception of decoration a bit. For the most part, curated art shows exist as 'life adornment' for the privileged. Bask in the glow of talented or beautiful people, chew on a few radical ideas, but above all go to amazing parties.

The artists that I respect try hard to subvert that system or exist outside it. They produce street art, ephemeral or illegal installations, billboard liberations, surreal events, art that is miles and miles away from populated places, things that aren't obviously art but look more like technology, and so on. I think my favorite art-thing of the past decade was Swoon's Swimming Cities, where she lashed together boats made of artfully arranged junk and floated down rivers with a motley crew of performers.

Of course this kind of art can be commoditized too, but it's more resistant.
Apple asserts its power by making the device unusable except for its intended purpose.

How is this distinguishable from paring a device down to the elements necessary for its function? The ultimate in "form follows function" design would produce something fairly close to what you state.

Like it or not, dominance and submission is a powerful concept for humans, and Apple is exploiting this to get more of your laptop and tablet dollar.

Yeah, I always did have some sense that dominance of an aesthetic or cultural sort was somehow underlying everything they did. (And in some sense, it's always been a disturbing sense.)

Yes and no. There are 13 'installations' (essentially IPs), some anycasted, but they all serve the same contents that are provided by the ICANN. So they are one conceptual root, albeit a geographically distributed one. The IETF has worked hard to make it robust (successfully so far), but the fact remains that 13 hardcoded IPs and one file that comprise the root of the DNS system.

My doctor visit routine goes like this: Nurse asks for my password to login into mymedtronic.com to "download my data" this costs me 20 dollars. Nurse gets access to special healthcare only charts, you know ones that are actually somewhat useful and prints them. My doctor looks at the prints and stuffs them into my file, rubs my feet and tells me to keep up the exercise. That was a 50 dollar foot massage. I don't want to think what that would cost without insurance.
The argument is that science largely ignores philosophy. He almost solely quotes postmoderism for his argument (though he does mention Popper). Yet philosophy is so much large than just postmodernism. Ergo, solely judging philosophy from the tenants and postulations of postmodernism is not a sound argument.

No code was kept from BeOS except for a few high-level components that were open-sourced while Be was still around (e.g., the Tracker). I've general found the new code to be high quality whenever I've delved into it, but I have only ever run Haiku in a VM, and then, only in short bursts. In other words, my experiences were all good, but there are few of them.

As far as development: the GNU tool chain exists, and is indeed the foundational tool chain. There's also a high level of de facto POSIX compliance (though neither BeOS nor (current version of) Haiku are multiuser), and many libraries you'd expect are available just fine. Even some large ones, like Qt. This makes porting fairly easy—and much like on OS X, it's easy to wrap a native Haiku GUI around existing tools.

The one bad part of development on Haiku is that the old-world C++ API has resulted in some compiler weirdness. Haiku aims for full binary compatibility...with C++ apps written on GCC 2.95. But developers, of course, want GCC 4. So what happens is that, much like OS X has fat PowerPC/x86 binaries, Haiku has fat GCC 2.95/GCC 4 libraries. This doesn't actually make development a pain, but it requires a bit of heads-up to navigate the linking situation
[slightly OT] Does anyone think that Implicit Computational Complexity should be explored in some "real" programming language?

Although current achievements are probably far away from being really meaningful in practice, I see some potential. For instance, I think it would be cool for a cloud provider to have bounds on the running time of programs sent by clients, just because code is written in a certain language.
It makes me wonder if the piece itself is art: designed to provoke and inspire defense, similar to Boal's invisible theater...

I agree with all of the above. Except there are isolated cases of philosophy actually pushing forward the frontiers of knowledge. Arguably Russell & Whitehead did in the Principia Mathematica, which attempted to put the foundation of mathematics in terms of logic. That system is the system where Godel found a paradox, which lead to Godels theorems. I'm sure Turing had it in the back of his mind that the Turing machine was a useful way of reasoning about those propositions which are 'true and provable'. Russell/Whitehead --> Godel --> Turing.

Another area where there have arguably been successes (even through failure), is in the attempts to formalise natural languages into logic (Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein). This is the tradition that informed Chomsky, whose theories of grammar inform modern compiler design.

There are philosophers alive that I believe have advanced the frontier of knowledge, but as with some areas of pure mathematics it's hard to say practically what that means. I have in mind Kripke.
We don't need new scientists or better ones, what we need is more funding and money. With most western governments quick to slash science funding at even the smallest hint of economic gloom it's no suprise that science has been performing poorly.

I'm sorry if I sound like an art snob but he looks to just be milking the common view that "modern art is dumb/stupid/no talent/i'm not cool enough" for no reason. He just seems to be whining for whining's sake. See his other articles about "giving art another chance". He's not looking to think or allow for expression in any form. He just wants to whine that people like to think abstractly and he thinks it's dumb. To each is own.
How exactly do you NDA an opensource driver?
The most, imho, accessible discussion of this stuff is Dybvig's 3 implementations of scheme. The first 75 pages or so are just a great way of using a functional style of thinking to implement a functional VM. http://www.cs.unm.edu/~williams/cs491/three-imp.pdf

It's long and dense, but there's is a valuable point view there, and scheme sidesteps the whole strong typing set of issues. You get a complete, optimized scheme interepreter in , what?, maybe 150 lines of code? seminal paper for an autodidact.

I love this sentence: Those customers with affected instances or volumes that were running in multi-Availability Zone configurations avoided meaningful disruption to their applications; however, those affected who were only running in this Availability Zone, had to wait until the power was restored to be fully functional.

> Most contemporary artists works need to be appreciated as a whole, not as isolated pieces

In other words, demonstrating one's affinity (or non-affinity) to a particular group becomes more important than demonstrating individual skills/virtuosity. Nietzsche (whom so many contemporary artists adore, btw) would have some harsh words on such herd mentality.
This is clearly a result of pressure from investors. Osx,iOS/android and chrome/*nix are all rapidly advancing.
Austerity is a great tool to starve the beast [1].

I think the three biggest issues are some spending, taxes and regulation that's spiralling out of control. However, RARELY do authoritative spending is cut, leading to broken fallacy issues [2].

Secondly, taxes kept being cut so money has to be found somewhere. What better way to take advantage of those without much of a political voice? Youth, disabled, unemployment, etc. Those services are being cut. While some taxes are randomly raised on others, leading to schizophrenic implementations (A tax on corn because it causes fat, but wait, it has a subsidy? I heard).

Thirdly, the parties have socially authoritative and fiscally libertarian attitudes. This means cracking down on general freedom in life (conservative/traditional) while giving more freedom to those with money.

It's almost as if the parties in power are forming a feudal-style police state. Literally.

What I found that's very sad is that most of the politicians in Western countries benefited from cheap or FREE university education and are now demanding the youth to accept those cuts. Fucking hypocrites.

It's really incredibly complicated, and difficult to test fully. The bits of Amazon's DC that failed seem like stuff normal testing should catch, but the DC power failures I've dealt with in the past always had some really precise sequence of events that caused some strange failure no one expected.

As an example, Equinix in Chicago failed back in like 2005. Everything went really well, except there was some kind of crossover cable between generators that helped them balance load that failed because of a nick in its insulation. This caused some wonky failure cycle between generators that seemed straight out of Murphy's playbook.

They started doing IR scans of those cables regularly as part of their disaster prep. It's crazy how much power is moving around in these data centers, in a lot of way they're in thoroughly uncharted territory.
Yeah.. they all lost the plot. Looks like going forward, it's OpenSuse + KDE for me.
