Firstly, assuming that your revenue exceeds your costs and that your business is in fact healthy, why would you want to bring in a co-founder and not an employee, if you have managed fine so far? I would say it's likely to be a mistake. Especially if you have employees, since you would be bypassing them for promotion and bringing in someone from outside, sending a signal that you're not committed to employees working their way up through the business (see Jim Collin's books for more on this). Rather hire a great employee and train them up and promote them.

Secondly, your question takes it for granted that you should "give" the equity away. Why? Surely, your prospective co-founder should buy his share if you both value your equity? If it's not bought it's not worth anything. You can't give it away, and certainly not for something promised which may never materialize. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
This actually puts these people at a disadvantage in real life. Just look at the arbitrary packaging sizes and how effective they are at fooling people into thinking they're cheaper or equally expensive just because they're unable to figure out that the "new packaging with 25% extra for free" is actually more expensive than the old packaging that contained a little bit less.

Notes from a Boner
Communism is about public ownership of the means of production. Given that the Chinese state is pretty much an extension of the party elite, state ownership in China does not have much, if anything, to do with public ownership.

Is the working class controlling these things? No. Has class struggle been eradicated? No. So it's not communism.

(Arguably at least in a marxist sense the very existence of a state wielding political power is incompatible with communism, but fundamentally the one key definition is that communism is a society without class differences - one would be hard pressed to argue that is the case in China)

There'd be a better basis for arguing it's socialism of some form, but state ownership does not automatically mean socialism either, nor does socialism require state ownership (but it also does not preclude it).

There's little research into these sort of implants, but lots of potential, IMHO.

At one point, I though about a subdermal RFID to use with an RFID door-lock. Then I realized it can trivially be copied and spoofed, so no. I'm currently considering the utility of an NFC chip which shares a vcard (vcf) to quickly share contact details. Sound doable, trivial, and somewhat useful.

You are right. The exploit is further complicated by the fact that Android will refuse to install apps outside of Google Play by default.

The same effect could probably be reached with an NFC tag in a ring or hidden in your wear, without the pain.

At least it's cheap-ish (last time I was in Porto, at least).

If there's a country it's France. An airport ride to my place, 16 km (10 miles), no more than 20 minutes, goes for a whooping 60EUR/66USD, more than the roundtrip flight to London. Nope.

And when I needed a ride at 4-5AM I called only to be hung up because "I didn't book it 24h in advance".
Not withstanding exploits, the user still has to accept the offered link, so it's not really stealthy in that case.

Lenin is basically a love doll.

"Now, I am become love doll, the destroyer of men's opression" - Vladimir Lenin, 2015
And yet at the same time even many of us without nationalist inclinations in the UK are extremely proud of outspoken arch-colonialist Churchill for his role in defeating Hitler, to the point where his less fashionable opinions and military blunders are largely glossed over. Stalin fandom[1] centres on his role in Soviet military successes in the same war, and rebuilding a destroyed nation afterwards. The regime that exposed his excesses and carried out a program of "de-Stalinisation" is long gone and perhaps not entirely trusted because of its own flaws, his victims are long dead, and the last thing the Putin administration want to discourage is nostalgic admiration for leaders' strength in standing up to Europe.

[1]at least Russian Soviet fandom. I'm a bit more perplexed when I see his face alongside Marx and Lenin on some of the more hard-left trade unionists' May Day placards over here...

Early retirement is very hard for most people and borderline impossible for many, but social acceptance is not part of the problem. Money is the problem. If you want to take the money from society, then you have social acceptance issues. Society is generally fine with early retirement, as long as you don't plan on depending on the government.
>it's sheer insanity to prevent people from interacting consensually

The modern state seems to have become little more than a huge and complex tax-collecting machine. Of course people can interact consensually, with or without the mediation of technology. But as soon as money starts changing hands, then the state will get involved, because it wants its pound of flesh. It would be naïve to believe otherwise.
I've wanted to do this (implant an RFID chip, not exploit Android phones) for a while now but I can't figure out how to get it done here in Australia. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's not "cheap" if you cannot take a ride. Total cost is a sum of the price, time wasted and the risk of being late. "Cheap" taxi that is impossible to catch is not actually cheap.

That's the same fallacy as when people whine about Uber's "surge pricing". When there is huge demand, Uber prices may go up 2x, but you still will be able to get a ride in 5 minutes instead of waiting half an hour or not even knowing if you will be able to catch a car at all.

I think you can call it synthetic marijuana - that's what it's mimicking. The synthetic cannabinoids target the same receptors, the products are targeted at the same market and used in the same way as the real thing.

But I agree, legalise a few relatively well understood drugs and this whole problem mostly goes away. There are a small number of people genuinely interested in experimenting with new compounds, most simply want to use a few of the popular drugs without getting in trouble, losing their job etc, or don't have a way of getting what they se as the 'real' stuff.

And the experimenters aren't usually interested in cannabinoids.

4 Breakthrough Data Technologies That Can Fuel Your Marketing Strategies
Corporations already decide what's illegal, largely, thanks to deficient systems. That revolving door exists. It's wide. The fact about law makers was worth mentioning because it often escapes people: pointing to a law, rather than thinking critically about the ethics of a law, is circular reasoning.

Answering your question isn't simple. I foremost think about how the lawmaking process itself could be changed to make it significantly harder to create superficial laws: the type of laws that interfere with consenting people; the type of laws largely responsible for so many prison economies and victimless "crimes." This doesn't answer your question. This is to say that it's a good question and it should be thought about.

> But it looks like Go has done similar things in the past. For example, the slicing operation gained an additional optional argument (https://golang.org/doc/go1.2#three_index). It's not exactly the same thing, but it seems roughly in the same league of difficulty.

It's not really same in my opinion. Slices already accepted multiple parameters - or even none. So adding another optional parameter doesn't affect the syntax. Where as import names are all stored in a single quoted string, so you'd have to rethink the entire structure of the import syntax (which leaves you with two import different methods of expressing imports - which is messy) or use some nasty kludge of including versioning within the import string.

What's more versioning is only half the story here. There's other issues with Go's imports that this author aims to resolve - such as the dependency on a static repo. Because import paths are based directly on the repo path (eg github.com) it makes it a pain to prototype code in a private repository before pushing changes public. And then there's issues with dependency on any specific resource (you can't use mirrored repos with go get), plus a whole slew of related issues regarding hard-coded repo paths.

So versioning is only half the story.

> Based on what I'm reading, versioning is a serious pain point. Sure, you always have to make sure the payoff is worth the additional complexity (universally, not just in Go) but the author seems to categorically disqualify this option by incorrectly saying that it would break backwards compatibility.

Well I've already argued that any clean solution would break backwards compatibility and any kludge would be messy and rather short sighted (plus potentially may not address the other issues with go get and import()).

So I think it's a little misjudged for you to say he's "incorrect" in his opinion in the way that you have.

I think they confirmed Lenin bought one Rolls-Royce? There was an embargo in effect, and no Industrialized nation would sell to the Communist. Britian caved, and let Rolls-Royce sell Lenin air plane engines. They Sweetened the deal by selling him a Rolls at a 15% discount. Maybe he had more? It was a horrid time. I have found conflicting information on Lenin. I don't think there were too many historians(especially American) who weren't writting a narrative condemning anything remotely related to communism?

I know communism has not worked, but sometime's I wonder, "Do I need three automobiles, or more water/food than my family needs?"

I still can't even talk about it because of the McCarthy era.(No, I'm not that old. The fear of anything different than Capitalism was just drilled into me as a kid.)

- Beefed up powers for the Information Commissioner to fine and enforce disciplinary action on government bodies if they breach data protection laws

- Legal rights to compensation for consumers when companies make people sign up online to deliberately misleading and illegible terms & conditions

- Code of Practice for online services who would by law have to correct information about members of the public where it is inaccurate or defamatory

- Enshrining in law the responsibility of government to defend the free press, including the rights of journalists and citizen journalists to express their views freely online

- Prevent government from watering down cyber-security and encryption measures used by British business
You have to wonder at the mentality of someone who wouldn't be there for their kid.

Some people rationalize it with that making sure their kid lives in a nice house in a nice neighborhood, goes to a great school, has access to all the latest gadgets and gets to to travel the world is the best thing they can do for their kids. And if the cost is that they have to work 14 hour days and hardly ever see their kids then that is a sacrifice they're willing to step up and make.

No saying I agree, but I can certainly see how you could convince yourself that working an 80 hour week is you doing the best thing for your kids and family.

Furthermore while I agree with (having done so myself) saying "Take a pay cut, do less hours.", it is only easy when you are already essentially rich. If "take a pay cut" meant I would have to move my family into a tiny apartment in the shitty part of town I probably wouldn't have such a cavalier attitude about it.

This is what happens when the reward culture does not match reality. In school, every time you value grades over learning, you foster a classroom of cheaters.

The company is looking for cheater types because:

1) they clearly can't cope with employees telling the truth, that is, there are priorities other than work.

2) they reward looking busy over being productive.

It's not exactly an above-board medical procedure in the US, either. What are body modification laws like in Australia? I think most of the Americans with this sort of implant had them done by professional body piercers, which is legal in most US states (though possibly not Florida, going by the article). Of course, many piercers won't want to, and in any case they aren't licensed to use anesthesia, which you may consider a drawback.

I would say your best bet is to Google for info on how it's done and on the legality of under-skin cosmetic implants in Australia, then take your findings to local body piercers and see if you can find any willing to do it.

I was at a training seminar where they were trying to go through the ethical dilemma of a manager who had two employees wanting to go home on time (one for spousal medical issue, one for child based commitment) and asking how to decide which one is allowed to leave. I went a little apeshit at the premise itself, and indeed at the training company for re-enforcing the idea you need permission to leave at 5pm.

Yesterday my manager asked me what I was doing this evening, and whether I could cover a release in terms of support. As it happens, I can. If I had plans of any kind my answer would have been "Sorry, nope. I've got plans so need to be out of the office by xx:xx".

Why don't we let citizens decide? Companies produce a product and if consumers don't want to use it, they don't. Uber irrefutably makes a city easier to navigate, and in most cities far cheaper. They've only succeeded in some cities by launching irrespective of what laws and modified to fit them, imagine if they responded and subsequently shut down when they received a cease and desist from SF in 2011 (prior to UberX launch). How ridiculous is it that they needed to let consumers (which the laws are supposed to help) experience the service 'illegally' for it to become accepted by those whom are supposed to be acting in their best interest.
The great thing is, you don't have to take a lower paying job. I started freelancing three years ago and have made more than I've ever made in my career, and I only work 20 hours a week.
tl;dr - "Last week, a Danish study was published that tracked 65,000 people over 15 years. The bottom line was that telomere length robustly predicts longevity, even after factoring out the effect of age, smoking, exercise, blood cholesterol, BMI, and alcohol consumption."

Mitteldorf argues that short telomeres are not just a marker but a major cause of mortality, and discusses the hypothesis that short telomeres protect against cancer (a theory he doesn't subscribe to).

Study the rest. The ban has brought many bad things, but it's also brought good alternatives. The 2C family, for example, arose because of the ban on LSD/mescaline/mushrooms, and is considered to have similar safety profile as the originals. Certain benzofurans (5/6-APB, APDB, MAPB, EAPB, etc) receive bigger love than MDMA because of fewer side effects and because they "bring back the magic" that prolonged MDMA use tends to dull out.
