One point to consider: you want to be a founder. If you're not in the US (I can't tell if you are), and you want to be a successful founder, it is very likely you'll need to move to the US at some point. That's very hard to do without a degree. Just FYI.

On the question of whether you should leave, I think it may be helpful to think of this startup as a high school love. Imagine you're 15 or so, and just met the guy/girl of your dreams, and are infatuated. You picture yourselves being together forever, getting married, settling down and living long happy lives together. You want to drop out of high school so you can get a job so you can move in together. It'll be amazing!

Most adults will look at that story and know the answer. You're just infatuated because it's your first love. It's probably not going to work out anyway, once you do live together. There will be more loves and more opportunities.

Now to give you the other perspective. I know a bunch of people who dropped out of college to be founders or founder-ish roles. Some of them founded or joined incredible startups (Stripe is a great example), have made a meaningful impact on the world (and a bunch of money too, though it probably matters less to them).

Of course, it's very hard for you to tell which of those situations this is...
Unfortunately Taylor does something similar with concert photographers (grants Taylor unlimited usage with a large scope, severely restricts photographers' usage):

For me it depends on the software and how much value new features bring to that software.

For two examples:

I've actually been pretty pleased with Lightroom/Photoshop as SaaS because these apps still often have new innovations that actually make my life easier as a hobbyist photographer. Thus I don't mind paying per month because I'd probably already be upgrading to the new version every year anyway and this is just spreading a similar cost out over time.

OTOH, Office's switch to SaaS is what finally pushed me over the edge to using free ("as in beer") alternatives... they can keep rejiggering the UI this way and that way but I can't imagine what they would add to Word or Excel that would make them seriously more useful to me, it was never a must-upgrade for me (YMMV if you work in an enterprise office setting or whatever) and thus the SaaS move is not good for my usage.
This is my business basically (and have been doing it for about 20 years).

Suggestions:

-------------

1) Choose the domain first and then brand with it. Not a good idea to brand first and then to buy the domain name

2) Go with .com unless it's clear that if you pick something else you stand a chance of getting the .com later (That is difficult for someone who doesn't know the business to figure out. [1])

3) Biggest mistake you can make is getting to married to a particular name and not have any alternatives. You will almost certainly telegraph that and pay more.

4) Second biggest mistake is getting anything but .com and assuming it doesn't matter and you can buy it later. In most cases (there are exceptions) it does matter. And the price of the .com will only go up after you are established and locked into the .whatever

Pecking order of domain sellers in terms of difficulty of completing a purchase.

----------------------------------------------------

A) Large corporation, say Google or General Electric. Typically won't sell at any price

B) "Old School Domainer" - Typically a gambler who will bet you will pay a zillion for the name if they hold out.

C) "Domainer" - Will sell but wants a decent price but tends to be somewhat rational.

D) Small business owner - Will negotiate but you won't get raked over the coals.

E) Professional domain site such as buydomains.com. Pricing is typically very reasonable even the list prices on the site. My go to place when I have to buy domains for others. Prices are stable they don't reflect who the buyer is ie they don't size you up.

F) "Little Old Lady" - Happy to get what they can.

[1] As a general rule I'd feel comfortable if the .com was owned by a small country store that was lightly using it than if it was owned by a domainer and/or a large corporation or the type of buyer that typically won't sell at either a reasonable price (I didn't say "cheap" by the way) or at all. [2]

[2] Corporations (large and even small that aren't owner operated) have typically little interest in selling because nobody personally benefits from the sale. At least a "domainer" gets to pocket all of the money typically.

Edit: Added another seller to the pecking order.
I think release in the window is a good point but the point of streaming services is to mitigate this by shifting a much larger percent of income to back catalog.

I also take issue with characterizing streaming income as a "ton of revenue" (perhaps you meant actual sales sales in which case somewhat irrelevent here?) while everything I've heard over the years is how streaming revenue is a small fraction of artist revenue, especially independents.

Here's numbers from a pro-spotify independent artist [1]:

$1,359 from spotify, that's apparently a career to date number.

I started working for a startup when I was your age and had two years of my degree left. Luckily, they were happy for me to work part-time. The company ran out of runway shortly after I graduated and was acquired (for peanuts, as far as I was aware). I didn't realise this at the time but this is a far more common outcome for a startup (failing, rather than making it big). With the benefit of hindsight, I'm glad I have my degree.

My advice for you? Make sure you earn your degree. You will have further opportunities to found a startup.
I think the bigger danger is that since you're instructing a direct pipe-to-sh over the network without regard to exit status, you're running the risk of executing truncated code that could trash your system state.
Can you do part time? I've been doing half a week of work and half a week of studying at university for the last 5 years. It's hard to manage sometimes, but it was totally worth it. Since I've also been upfront with everyone, they all knew that I just couldn't make some meetings or lectures and were okay with it.
>He held a meeting with some electrosensitives, and didn’t tell them he had a mobile phone in his pocket. “They noticed at once. After that I was convinced.

Ah the good ol' base rate fallacy.

I can predict with around 90% accuracy whether a given American adult has a cellphone on their person, simply by always answering "yes".

But I doubt you'd be impressed if I pointed at a random stranger and said "That guy has a cell phone".
I don't think you believe managers should be trying to fix severe mood disorders. I do think you may accidentally be asking them to try, though, when you suggest that they get involved with employees to help them overcome their mood-related performance deficits.

Managers should be especially careful about trying to discern mood disorders in employees who have not informed them of a diagnoses, as, again, doing so can create legal issues.

Employees suffering from mental disorders should work with their therapists to come up with a plan for maintaining work performance, and, if that plan requires accommodation from employers, the employee should request the needed changes. Employers, on the other hand, should be careful about making their own suggestions: for one thing, it can be unlawful for an employer to demand changes from specific employees based on a belief that mental illness requires it. But the better reason is simpler: managers are not mental health professionals.

Mostly, though, the subtext of my comment is that I think people may underestimate severe mental, emotional, and mood disorders. There are high-functioning clinical depression sufferers, and there are people who are authentically crippled by it. No amount of coaching and accommodation from managers recovers the performance of the latter group.

I hope it goes without saying that I don't believe companies should fire employees believed to have mood disorders.
YC is open to funding gaming startups if there's some reason to believe they could have a long-term sustainable advantage. With so much time spent gaming, there are surely more great new businesses to be built. I'm most optimistic about game engines, gaming hardware, and esports streaming and news. Or some new business model I haven't heard of yet.

(I'm a YC partner)
Given that most start-ups fail, there is necessarily an element of gamble in doing one, and the classic advice 'only gamble what you can afford to lose' is classic for a reason.

Thus, when thinking of doing a start-up, ask yourself: in the reasonably likely event that the start-up fails, are you okay with that outcome?

If you end up in a couple of years time with neither the start-up nor a degree, are you okay with that?

If your answer is 'yes, sure, there's plenty more to life than start-ups and degrees' then by all means go for it.

If your answer is 'hell no, I really want at least one!' then play it safe.
Trust maths. Read, re-read what this dude says. You can work on your startup simultaneously as you study and get your degree.
That's what probably says, that's what we say here... because... you asked us.
Looking back in the future, if you did drop out and became the next Zuckerberg, still in retrospect our response remains the same.

FINISH YOUR DEGREE!
Somehow those seem less important. Maybe it's because I cut my teeth on Sybase and Oracle rather than noSQL, but if triggers don't work, I would really hesitate to call that a RDBMS.
Do not quit your degree! The founders do not have your best interests at heart, their minds are focused on the success of the venture. They cannot offer you a degree, whereas a degree can offer you future opportunities. Whether the appeal of the startup for you is money, fame, or sincere deep passion about the subject matter and advancing the technology, you will be able to pursue these in the future as well. I would completely agree with ChuckMcM about the statistical analysis too -- from a strict weighing of the odds, you are better off with a degree. I would also agree with the analysis of angersock -- he knew you were their tech person because of the position they put you in. What the crowd seems to be saying, to a person of only 19, is that one should bear in mind that the young have a tendency to prefer locally optimal decisions over globally optimal ones, and that one should compensate for that bias if they can. Echoing angersock again, unless the tangible offer on the table is mighty substantial, you should continue to invest in your education, at least until it reaches its next plateau. Good luck!!!
I always wondered why presentation packages like PowerPoint and Keynote do not expose a scripting API to allow one to programmatically keyframe animations and such. That would make these sorts of effects almost trivial to achieve.
Honestly there's no good answer to this. Do you like excitement, thrills, terror, and chasing opportunity at the expense of all else? That sounds like dropping out. Do you like enjoying less real world responsibility, learning in a structured environment, taking a safer path, etc.? This sounds like staying in school (if you can afford it).

One thing I can say is this... It's hard to find a wave worth riding in business. If the startup already has traction and is taking off, you may never again be in that position to enjoy that kind of excitement. If you're just hacking away at something that is more of an idea, and the only thing exciting is that someone put in some money, that is less exceptional communication in my eyes.

Whatever you do, decide for yourself. If you're seeking greatness in yourself and for those around you, chances are you'll do just fine on which ever path you choose.

Good luck to you. Now go blaze a glorious path that makes a dent in the universe, and enjoy the ride.
That's an older technique that this is based on -- the one that, as mentioned, can't handle both large and small motions. Given that, I wouldn't compare it by that one example.
Technically true. I think for the arts this is something of an unusual case I'd describe more as an emotional than a financial transaction. I'm paying for something that I could easily get (illegally) for free. My allegiance is to the music and musicians, not to apple, spotify or anyone else providing distribution, as such 'supporting the type of music I like' is a very strong selling point, (not strong enough for me to use Tidal though!)

I presume Apple are trying to establish differentiation through the 'radio' service, but since the baseline market requirement is the ability to listen to practically anything all-you-can-eat, it'll be hard for them to achieve it there.
Would this be better if the pasted command included some checksum which was checked before piping into the `sh`? Can anyone who's better at bash than me give an example of how this could work in a relatively cross-platform way?

Re: the "gross violation of privacy" didn't even think about that at all.

My thoughts:

I would argue though that (subject to "infection" risk) it is no different than looking in a wallet to find the owner or looking into a laptop bag.

Entirely possible that the USB contains identifying information that can help locate the owner.
Such studies have been done numerous times. You need to consider proper blinding to get it right, but it's not too hard.

But if you have people who will claim that every study contradicting their belief is a conspiracy by the phone industry that doesn't help a lot.

It's like homeopathy: You can throw as many studies as you want at the believers. They don't believe in science, therefore it's not working.
I was really hoping this was short animated clips of famous movie scenes rendered in ASCII.
I'm surprised there isn't a latex package that can do this (that you could then use w/ Beamer.)
Honest questions: how many "frames per second" is a standard microphone? What exactly is a "frame" of audio?

I love a question with a simple right answer:

(Ruby OR Python) AND C.

You can skip C if you don't want to do low-level work (embedded, kernels, writing shellcode for memory corruption exploits). Only a small fraction of security people do this kind of work. You cannot skip (Ruby OR Python), even if you don't ever plan to do web work (which is a dumb plan anyways).
Agreed overall, see my comment above which addresses this. These types of systems typically will never see as many transactions/sec as their “likes” counterparts, for obvious reasons.

Having said that, I have worked on some credit card infrastructure that does get up there, and it too, does not have FKs. Having or not having FKs does not magically mean your data will be accurate or in-accurate. ACID, as well as traditional database transactions, still apply, and keep your data integrity high. In conjunction with well designed application logic, and proper planning, FKs are not needed to maintain accurate data whatsoever.

Also, there is commerce related things (Amazon) that work on truly eventually consistent data stores, like DynamoDB. Don’t see amazon getting laughed at much. (they use it for their shopping cart, source: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2007/10/amazons_dynamo.h... , this paper is also a great read fwiw)

Anyways, I think we are getting a bit into the weeds here, as the OPs link is about a mysql bug. Cheers.
I think you completely missed the point. Using your own analogies of teachers, this would sort of be like a local government letting all the teachers know that they will be teaching kids without pay for the next 3 months. If this ever happened, any teachers that could would get the hell out of dodge.
Looks great. But I think quite a few people (the audience with which the recording would be shared) would like to see the entire session at once instead of watching the entire video. It would also be helpful for the writer to quickly verify if they missed something.
You should read up on how the Clif bar company is run. Pro employee businesses do exist.
Do 2 things in parallel.

Learn C, there's plenty of open source C code strictly related to security, from OpenSSL, to OpenSSH, to the Linux kernel.

Learn full stack web programming (SQL, a language, html+js). As for the language, PHP could be good as there's a lot of history of (in)security, but I definitely recommend learning a framework - I like yii (yes it is), but choose any. Studying a framework is useful to learn how much things could go wrong, if not done properly (SQL injection, XSS injection, ...).

Metasploit is Ruby. In 10 years of consulting with a progressively larger and larger team, I'm not sure I ever saw someone use scapy. It's not that scapy is bad, so much as that direct targeted low-level packet manipulation is kind of a 90s problem statement.

Common sense is optimization of decision making with heuristics and data compression. It comes at a cost-- cognitive biases, illusions, etc.-- but imagine trying to function in the world if you had to reason through and empirically test each decision.

"Will that lion eat me? How should I construct a study to AAAAAhhhh!!!"

In common use the term is also used to refer to intuition, which is something else. Intuition is also a bit of a sloppy term but mostly reveals to massively parallel so-called "right brain" modes of cognition that rely heavily on huge scale pattern recognition instead of linear paths of logic.
One might argue that good physical controls just don't matter that much for the audience that casually plays a game on the train.

I highly recommend you read the comment section of OP's article. I'm surprised it's only 40%.
I've experienced several highly-performant, correct databases with concurrent clients from around the globe ... and they had no enforcement of foreign keys.

Yes, foreign keys were essential to data correctness. No, they were not being enforced in production. Stew on that just a bit. Not enforced in production.

During client application development, development databases enforced the constraint. Any errors resulting in foreign key mismatches disqualified the client app for release. The applications were required to be aware of the constraint and to learn to work within it. Production gained the speed benefits of not having to enforce the foreign keys.

You can indeed eat your cake and have it, too, iff you are disciplined.
No, although there are lots of counter examples. Go faster and get a phd quicker.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.

I understand that it wouldn't compare with the actual oscilloscope, but this was never meant to be a replacement for oscilloscope. It's just a low cost way to convert available electronics into a portable handy scope for basic applications. It was very useful for me while I was designing a characterization board.

Sampling rate depends upon the analog to digital converter (ADC) used with the Raspberry Pi. ADS1015 has a relatively lower sampling rate of 3.3kS/s. However, I have also used MCP3002 with Raspberry Pi. It has a sampling rate of around 75KS/s for 2.7V (and 200KS/s for 5V), which gives a very good performance.

So, just with a change of ADC, one can achieve better performance. I will probably include support for more ADCs in the library soon.

Don't trust "the founders" or their venture capitalist overlords. Put yourself and your education first.

Use your time in university to explore more than compsci; get a double major in business or design, study anthropology or archeology, learn about the last 3000 years of technology, use the university to make yourself smart and more able than you are now.

Trust yourself, you are your best investment if you take the opportunity to grow.
Education.

After two years, you haven't yet got to the good part of your major yet.

I believe his point was that while you need to be able to do it, at least to a certain level, it's not where the majority of your day is going to be spent. I'm not in the field so I don't know true that is, however. That was just what I got from his post.
It's really not like that at all. The teacher scenario has an opportunity cost: if they're busy teaching kids for free, then they're not available for teaching other kids for pay.

In the Apple Music situation, there's likely very little opportunity cost unless we believe that it's going to be so amazingly and instantly successful that it will cannibalize all current revenue streams.
Having good physical controls is not so hard to get on smartphones [1]. If smartphone manufactures wanted to make their device better for gaming, they'd just need clips for common controllers and make the wired and wireless connection work.

Important detail, are you paying for your education yourself? Did you take out loans? Are your parents paying for all of it?

If you can start a lucrative career (regardless of whether this particular startup succeeds or not) without paying the insane price tag on a degree, it's certainly worth considering.
