Thank you. Correct, the method is not claimed to be foolproof, but just a good method for many students, and it works well in large groups, often even better than with one student at a time, because if someone gets stuck, others have ideas to keep the discussion going.
One of my greatest fear is losing sight. I feel of all the senses, that is the one that would be most devastating to lose. So it is definitely a very inspiring article about coping and hope and optimism. All the best to her.
Thank you for the honest feedback! Wondering if you could provide more information on why you think that? Should I go into a lot more depth on a specific topic? Do I need to break down the shell commands with more detail?

Regarding your second question - I'm not too sure of a good book and my book isn't really meant for that as I'm sure you've guessed.

Vesting should be fine if the VC's are willing to pay the founders for the sweat that was already dropped in... most of this sweat would have been at Zero pay to boot.

Asking founders to re-vest nullifies the effort they have put until now and makes it unattractive for founders to seek VC money.

Generally whoever has the greater need makes the bigger compromises...
Web browsers break backwards-compatibility all the time. They use the major version number bump to justify it. I gave up trying to keep a Firefox extension I wrote up-to-date since the API changed every 6 weeks. I think it's settled down a bit since the early days, but the reason they bump the major version number is so they can break things.
SFINAE Hell: detecting template methods
It is amazing how culture problems often start with the CEO. Sometimes, non-technical CEOs are very good at their own speciality (selling, motivating, etc.) but extremely bad at systems thinking.

Other times, CEOs hire yes-men and yes-women below them and everyone is afraid/unwilling to tell the CEO the truth.

Other times the company has raised a ton of money and attracts people who would otherwise not work at a startup and whose major focus is resume building and moving to the next job.

If the CEO is the only person meeting with investors or only trusts one or two other people to meet with them that is another big concern. It means there is likely no transparency into the actual team and what is actually going on, which means the CEO is likely BSing the investors.

All of these are reasons why you should not work at a startup if you do not 100% believe in the CEO. Be skeptical b/c most startup CEOs really do not have a track record of insight and integrity. If the CEO is aloof or seems out of touch and not someone who you think would really enjoy talking to you about your job and who respects the work you do, be wary.
I'll note that a main point of this document is to explain to people such as policy makers how we in the Internet technical community collaborate to address security issues. This is an effort by Olaf Kolkman to help policy makers understand "the Internet way" and why the collaborative approach taken by different communities on the Internet is better than centralized, government-mandated approaches to Internet security.
There is only one solution: If absolutely nobody has to pay for their mobile data usage, then there are no “poor” people in that respect.

If “Airtel Zero” were implemented as is, then “poor” people would only see the apps / contents that the people with the money are willing to give them. That degree of dependency borders on modern slavery. I would rather see mobile data made free for everyone.

So the good news is that their intentions seem to be to keep oil prices low for a prolonged period. Was wondering how long they'd keep prices at current levels. Should be a lot of carnage and opportunity for finding bargains once a lot of these over leveraged oil companies start defaulting.
I'd figure it must be some sort of selection bias; something such as those who aren't as into the taste of food, regardless of their tasting aspects, are more likely to try it.

FWIW, back when I was doing the protein shakes and weightlifting thing, I found some protein shakes tasted fine... and others were nasty. The biology of taste is more complex than a simple non-taster < taster < supertaster continuum, that's merely an obvious aspect.
"if they're both the same thing that great but doesn't happen that often in practice"

On one side you've got a customer who needs something badly enough that they're willing to pay you real money. On the other side you have a larger number of potential future customers. As they say "a bird in the hand is worth more than than two in the bush".

Of course the customer is never taking the product in exactly the direction you want it to take. But there are few things less valuable to a company than a close relationship with customers and visibility into their needs.

If your consulting clients' needs and your planned product's capabilities aren't aligning, how about adjusting the plan rather than dropping the clients? In my 20 years of experience in the industry, adjusting the plan has always been the better strategy.
If you think of the bandwidth/latency of not being connected to the Internet as zero, and think of the bandwidth/latency of being connected to the Internet as some nonzero value, then this is a difference of degree, and not of type, with any other net neutrality discussion we might have. Net neutrality would dictate that you cannot charge differently for different streams of data. Here, the cost to the user with respect to a certain set of streams would be zero in one case and some non-zero value in another case.

Now, one could argue that it is not a violation of net neutrality because the data is still being paid for – it is simply being paid for by another source. However, I find these arguments unconvincing. If the intention of net neutrality had simply been to ensure that data was paid for, then it would not matter if data was treated better or worse based upon some payment of a company. After all, the data would still be being paid for – it would simply be that some data was being paid to have faster service associated with it. In principle, that latter example would be no different to an end user of the ISP paying for a faster connection.
If you pay nothing for a service, then you are the product. Facebook and Google are already providing enormous value for free, if you have an internet connection. Now they want to provide it for free even if you don't pay for your internet connection. This arrangement changes nothing about the consumer relationship.
The concept of a SV style startup is orthogonal to that of a consultancy. Consultancies face one major problem: scaling.

The problem with growing a consultancy is that their growth is limited to the the number of a consultant's hours they can sell. If you can't scale your income exponentially to the number of man-hours you have available to you, you'll never be capable of evolving into a 100% + growth-per-quarter business.

I can't say I'm surprised that VCs looking for the big winners would not want to invest in a consultancy.

I used the method in large groups and it has worked well for me, but there are other (psychological) elements you have to employ to make it do that. I have not been able to get it to work well with asynchronous online classes, however, because it is difficult to employ some of those elements and because the response times have too much of a lag to keep the conversation interesting or efficient. That could be overcome if students gave longer, more thorough answers each time, but most of them do not tend to do that, and I have not been able to get them to.

More like "Having more money means you can sandbag your competitors, since you own the verticals and give away your service to encourage usage of your walled garden until your competitors fade into nothingness."

In regards to the swathes of poor people, we can use a similar situation (though hyperbolic) to compare, and that is nestle giving out free formula to breastfeeding mothers in poor countries, and that couldnt hurt anyone because they were giving it away, right?

For example, IBFAN claim that Nestlé distributes free formula samples to hospitals and maternity wards; after leaving the hospital, the formula is no longer free, but because the supplementation has interfered with lactation, the family must continue to buy the formula.[1]

Regulation is definitely needed when a company does the equivalent of dumping or a predatory pricing scheme. Claiming that "poor people will be hurt" is missing the point that the robber baron isn't giving them free bread to feed them, they give them free bread to close down the other bakeries and then charge them for their daily bread in any way they want.

Great, great writeup.

There is definitely a need for a response cheat sheet to the most typical term sheet bullshit and while I get not all deals are equal, there are accordingly only so many stages of startup where the range of responses are necessary.
>In a self-organizing structure, their power can be swiftly removed by the masses. Meanwhile poor management in more rigid structure can survive much longer and is frequently untouchable.

Meanwhile in a self-organizing structure you can get the shaft, because a good decision did not turn out too well.

I also don't see how this system solves the "politics" problem. I actually think it makes it even worse. People will premeditate and ploy much more, if a consensus is the only thing standing between them and power. As e result many bad decisions will be made in the name of compromise and favors.

There IS a difference between using the method to teach a receptive learner who wants to understand the logic of the topic, and using it to try to change someone's mind. Socrates did make many enemies because he was often trying to change people's minds about strong beliefs they held dear. People tend not to like that and to resist any logic that leads to a contradiction of their beliefs. But that is true even if you present your case as an article, essay, or lecture that has no questions.

Having no service does not violate net neutrality. But net neutrality is violated when ISPs provide selective service based on who pays them the most. If packets are delivered differently based on business relationships, then it's not a neutral network.

What's being described here is much more akin to cable, where many channels pay for access to consumers.
If you only game for 5 hours a week buy a console and save $270 next year. ( minus $30 for an XBL or PS Plus subscription for online play and free games ) Also it's locally rendered thus no input lag and you don't need to tie up your entire internet pipe when you want to game.
Is Google.com banned at Dropbox offices, or what?
Okay, this has nothing to do with supporting the poor as the comments here are suggesting, and as Airtel is trying to paint it. Poor can avail month-long 1GB data at $3 in India. All major providers have a plan that makes Facebook, Whatzapp, Google, Twitter, Instagram free for $0.5 a month. We already have plans for the poor, this is not it.

This plan is the following - if you take Airtel Zero, you cannot access any other website. Period. That's right, no option to pay for other websites at all. Once you opt-in, your web is restricted. This is not like the plans for poor we already have, where you pay little or nothing for some websites, but can use regular plans to access rest of the web. With the new Airtel Zero, you waive off the rights to rest of the web as soon as you opt-in.

This is a net neutrality debate. We have plans for poor, this is not it.

It will work in a large group IF most of the people in the group are as attentive to the responses of (and to) others as they would be to their own responses and to responses to them. That is often, but not always, the case.

I'm always disappointed when deregulation advocates don't seem to understand how markets work.

Free markets are great when you have a large number of relatively equal agents interacting freely. E.g., the classic farmer's market, or the stock trading pits of old. But the more you drift from those conditions, the less effective they are.

Here, with large, rich players paying for access to poor, mostly-uneducated individuals, it's a situation ripe for abuse. Especially because those individuals won't have access to the regular Internet to help them sort through what they're seeing.

I expect a lot of what they get will be from the sort of people who exploit the poor, the online equivalent of payday lenders and debt relief scam artists.
"They got a salary, probably a decent one, for however long they were running the thing." - I want to second this. I worked for a startup that the C level's made huge bucks (we were paid really well too) and they would wine/dine on the companies $$ all the time. They sold the company for a little more then the funding they got, but spun a new company off where investors got little and they cashed out.
