I am not a lawyer, but I've been in a similar situation recently.

---

We were 50/50 partners; I was technical, he was business + provided the financing. In 18 months we built valuable IP, but it wasn't ready for external use. Our relationship broke down over financial conflict and diverging visions for the future. He is secure financially and could afford to take a longer term view, whereas I needed to validate product market fit quickly and start generating revenue.

Our conflict boiled down to our different circumstances and the way that we could each afford to approach the business. I still liked working with him, despite that.

I realised that I didn't have much leverage from the business and financial perspective, but I knew that I was the most capable person to continue to develop the product, and that he valued working with me and my time highly. The only leverage I had was the option to continue to develop and grow the product.

I offered to sell my equity to him, and transition into a consulting role. In the process, I tripled my annual salary, reduced my working days, cut travel, and eliminated the stress associated with needing the product to succeed yesterday. I also received a modest payout for the value of my equity. Our personal relationship immediately improved.

It took a while to work out the details, especially since we were both apprehensive due to the breakdown in communication, but now we are both very happy.

Your business is already structured in a way that gives you little leverage (49/51 ownership and reduced voting rights). But you are obviously valuable to the organisation due to your demonstrated capability to bring in grants and tenders.

You are at your cofounder's mercy in terms of what they're willing to pay for your equity, since they are the only buyer.

If you just walk away, you minimise your leverage.

So I'd encourage you to dig deeper into the nature of your conflict. Can you decompose the conflict into parts and understand them separately? Is there a world where you slowly transition out of the organisation? This might result in a fairer payout than the simple value of your equity.

For example, if you were willing to commit to working remotely on the project for 6 or 12 months, even at reduced hours, you could significantly improve your value over that time by commanding a higher consultancy rate. Your cofounder justifies this by paying you for your time (which they value), rather than your equity (which they can lowball). You justify this by strategising that it's a mature way to extract the most value from your equity and committed time, and view it as an amortised payment for your equity.
I was on Twitter from 2009 until it turned into Xitter. I never saw much of that hatred for straight, white men (e.g. me). Sure, if you went looking you could always find something to be offended about, if that’s what you desired. I never found it showing up at my doorstep though.

I did see a lot of hate show up at marginalized people or had those otherwise minority representation in society. I did see a lot of people challenged for their personal beliefs that went on to claim racism and sexism, especially but not exclusively among straight white men.

Nobody should suffer the indignity of discrimination for what we were born into, but people are often way too quick to dismiss ideological criticism as discrimination.
But the company has no assets, and this would leave the CEO in an unsustainable position. In that position they should shut the company down and continue with a new one.

That has been the case with any form of information consumption, including journalism (newspapers).

The answer has always been to develop and maintain mental capacity for critical thinking and form your own opinions instead of having someone program you.

If you don’t sell him something back you may very well render the startup unbuildable. Double digit dead weight founder equity sitting on the cap table will make it in my opinion, almost impossible for your co-founder.

If you have little to no SaaS revenue and it's a software business, you should think about that too. Consulting revenue and grants are almost meaningless in the context of SaaS from an investor perspective.

Often plastic really is the optimum material for an application.

There's plenty of plastic on the ISS, where money is no object. If you buy something manufactured with Kevlar or Teflon or Gore-Tex, that will be prominent in the marketing, and it really is better than steel for ballistic protection or oilskins for keeping you dry. If you buy plumbing supplies, the vendor will advertise whether they are plastic, and if so, whether they are PVC or LDPE - neither better nor worse than copper pipes, but with different performance characteristics.

For clothing, polyester is a less premium material than wool - largely because it's cheaper; if wool was free we'd still make plastic clothes - so the seller advertises the wool component.
His books "the blind spot - a course in logic" is despite its title a bad offender in mixing fairly outrageous claims and philosophical rants with technical statements; and it is one of his most accessible texts. His writing is deliberately off-putting and hard to read; you actually need to already understand his ideas to understand his writing.

His main contribution, through linear logic, are ways to separate 'elementary' operations of logic into simpler ones. Linear logic decomposes the classical "and" and "or" into multiplicative and additive ones, and some modalities. This gives a more precise encoding of operations that can directly link logic to complexity theory, and have interesting applications to compiler design.

Note that academia has been very receptive of his technical achievement, the proof of consistency of System F through reducibility candidates, but much less welcoming of some of his other papers that he deemed way more interesting (as we saw recently with Terence Tao "I got a paper rejected today"). I think him writing this way is a reaction to that; rather than try to court people who might reject his ideas, he already filters people who are looking for the good stuff in them.
Man, why is it so hard to keep in memory ? Can keep a whole bunch of stuff in memory - including CSS float layout for years, but flexbox hits that strange place where if one doesn't use it for a couple of months, one tends to forget 80% of it and needs to re-read from scratch and spend time on the playground again.

The problem is that too many property names are just non-intuitive or plain wrong. They might as well have given them one or two letter symbolic names.

A prof of mine back in Oxford told us a story how he invented a similar noninvasive blood glucose monitoring technique, shown to work, patented it, patent bought by big pharma and silenced.

I'm more than convinced we had this tech ages ago but it was not profitable to deploy it. Now either relevant patents are finally expiring or the market has changed enough to allow such players to enter.

I think it is possible however it seems you don't have much incentive to explore more than you need to. Which might be enough to do your work well, but I don't understand that you wouldn't want that.

yeah, authentication complexity with WebSockets is severely underappreciated. We ran into major RBAC headaches when clients needed to switch between different privilege contexts mid-session. Long polling with standard HTTP auth patterns eliminates this entire class of problems.
Tbh the 24 hour horizon also means that you can do without a persistent db and store everything in memory (as managed db are typically the most complex / expensive part of the stack)
A lot of VCs will not even invest without it being in the picture. Risk of cap table dead weight is otherwise too large.
I like long polling, it’s easy to understand from start to finish and from client perspective it just works like a very slow connection. You have to keep track of retries and client-side cancelled connections to have one but only one (and the right one) of requests at hand to answer to.

One thing that seems clumsy in the code example is the loop that queries the data again and again. Would be nicer if the data update could also resolve the promise of the response directly.
There are lots of wasteful uses for sure. Too much crap out there being produced essentially for the land fill. This can all go away.

But there are many areas where plastics are quite literally life savers and it will be hard to replace them. For example, look at a modern ER and imagine it without plastics. Won't happen.

We're in early days, and maybe this improves in the future. I was playing with Grok today and I like that it shows sources both from X posts and web articles. Grok can only summarize, rather than capture discussions about the subject. I generally use generative AI for summary (like Wikipedia) material. I would certainly follow more in-depth reads the AI surfaces. So, the AI could improve on the search engine experience by providing that summary, as well as doing a better job at surfacing things that aren't junk results. I still like StackOverflow for providing more context around a snippet, but it would be great if the AI could surface the best results there also. I think the UI/UX just needs to improve.
> we have to re-implement response payloads (one for application/json and one for text/event-stream)

I am curious about what you mean here. The 'text/event-stream' allows for abitrary event formats, it just provides structure for EventSource to be able to parse.

You should only need one 'text/event-stream' and should be able send the same JSON via normal or SSE response.
It will be interesting to see such techniques for normal 3d printing without support structures.
Morale of the story is that always have SHA, and preferably with reverse vesting ( with some cliff ) so that if you leave early you get something but if almost immediately nothing.

Having said that, I would go with trying to improve the numbers - eg 5% of company as your remaining share ( that makes it still probably fine in investors pov ), or more money, depending on which you want.

This is great for quick visual cheatsheet but I think one just has use it everywhere in a project to make it stick. The syntax is fairly self-explainatory for me. (except row and column)

I never struggled with Flexbox or grid (most of it) but I see people being so confused. Just understand the box model, and use Firefox Dev tools. That helped me a lot when learning Flexbox model. It lets you visualize your containers quite well. I think even Chrome Dev tools do that now.

As everyone else mentioned, flexboxfroggy and cssgridgarden were very helpful to practice.

That being said, I still open the CSS-tricks cheatsheet everytime for syntax and I can never get if is row or column in the first try.

What about HTTP/2 Multiplexing, how does it hold up against long-polling and websockets?

I have only tried it briefly when we use gRPC: https://grpc.io/docs/what-is-grpc/core-concepts/#server-stre...

Here it's easy to specify that a endpoint is a "stream", and then the code-generation tool gives all tools really to just keep serving the client with multiple responses. It looks deceptively simple. We already have setup auth, logging and metrics for gRPC, so I hope it just works off of that maybe with minor adjustments.
But I'm guessing you don't need the gRPC layer to use HTTP/2 Multiplexing?
Although mildly interesting, this doesn't really explore some of the more interesting dynamics of online conversation. There was a theory over in one borderline famous reddit post that most online conversations were various factions of people who were borderline mentally ill talking to each other. Boiling the situation down to a bell curve over one axis is really underselling the amount of distortion that can take place - the moderate opinion might literally not be hinted at in an online conversation.

But the effect the paper hints at is real. I remember being noting with curiosity that Factorio's positive reviews vs Steam's game stats for their recent expansion and noting that the reviews must have been done by people who probably hadn't seen the expansion's content.
The comparison to weather satellites is misleading and oversells this technology. Weather radar works by detecting water droplets at known atmospheric heights - it's a fundamentally different problem than trying to measure glucose concentrations in blood through layers of tissue. The real breakthrough here isn't the radar tech (which has existed for years), it's the machine learning pipeline that can extract meaningful glucose data from extremely noisy radar returns.
SerpApi’s job postings show up every single month without fail in "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" threads. A quick search brings up 8 pages of results for SerpApi. For context, Tesla—a massive company with far more roles, market cap, and global operations—only has 14 pages. Even MixRank, another notorious repeat offender, only has 7 pages.

It’s crazy how often SerpApi posts here. What’s going on? Either they’re scaling faster than Tesla (spoiler: they’re not), or they’re constantly churning through employees. If you’re thinking about applying, do yourself a favor and ask questions like:

+ Why are there so many open roles so often?

+ What’s the typical employee tenure?

+ What’s the actual work environment like after onboarding?

Posting jobs every month like clockwork says a lot, and none of it screams stability.

What's underwhelming about Rust's enums and pattern matching? Lacking indexed types/GADTs?

> I even wonder if it's necessarily a better choice than modern C++ for someone starting a new project.

The same enums, matching and other language features that aren't related to safety and yet allow the developer to write less boilerplate, alleviate the need to remember implementation details of the code used. And as someone said here, safety is not only about security vulnerabilities.

Not once I had problems with the borrow checker. Maybe it depends on the domain, requirements or project size. While I haven't finished any game in Rust, I am writing one (as a hobby/learning) and I try to avoid unnecessary and noticeable performance hits. Though I am working under the assumption that some runtime checks that are present in safe Rust and not in C++ are a net positive due to easier debugging. I'm not convinced that "unsafe" code and asm are necessary in modern gamedev.
Like the others are "more secured", and it is a bit more complicated than that... lol. Will please ARM FUD on RISC-V (remember than, currently, RISC-V is a death sentence for ARM...).

You could have your job status update push an update into an in-memory or distributed cache and check that in your long poll rather than a DB lookup, but that may require adding a bunch of complexity to wire the completion of the task to updating said cache. If your database is tuned well and you don’t have any other restrictions (e.g. serverless where you pay by the IO), it may be good enough and come out in the wash.
If your unique attribute is the 24hr auto delete, and you drop that because some HN people don't like it, you've removed your unique attribute. Probably not the right call.

Yes, that is the flashback thread.

Yes, it would obviously be against victim interest in some cases. However, since I see courts as I do-- i.e. as people going before the public and laying out something which is intolerable, I feel that incomplete alignment with victim interests is something one must accept.

Instead my view is that the public must become accustomed to that is is a court, and to behave reasonably with regard to those who have brought cases to them.
