I agree that if I end up not liking him (as a person) at all, then it won't work out. I was planning on setting up like a 3-month part-time working relationship where we can work together on some side project to get to know each other

Thing is, in my experience I have been able to learn to tolerate someone after spending enough time with them. It's possible I might learn to tolerate this potential cofounder as well, if I spend more time with him. It's certainly

I appreciate the feedback. You're probably right but it gives us something to dream about. But assuming we do have this cap table, how will investors want to purchase preferred shares in the company?

I notice this trend on hacker news where there are so many pessimistic comments. It's like an ocean of pessimist people. x is dying, y is dying. FB is not dying. It is literally a money printing machine and will continue to be for many

I think the opposite is true. The bigger a ship is, the slower it is to turn. IBM is a "tech" company that employs 282,000 employees, and when was the last time they invented something? I don't remember the last time I heard

the answer is - not much. the power law applies to any big organization. 20% of the people do 80% of the work, whilst 80% of the people are just there for "support". whatsapp was run by a team of like 20 people or something when t

Fair enough. I can sympathize if you had to endure 3 weeks of loud noise. Frankly if I wasn't supportive of the Convoy, I would be pretty upset too. One more thing I would say is that the fault for how long the "Occupation" w

You sort of have to, if you want to actually make an impact. Look at what they did in Euromaiden, or the recent protests in Kazakhstan (200+ dead). If Ukrainian people resorted to peaceful protests, the pro-Russian government would have eas

[Here's a popular viewpoint from the left about protests]( https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1334184644707758080?lang=en ). If protests were "comfortable", then there would be no pressure for the governm

I agree with your assessment. To completely quit news is not a good idea, unless you want to live under a rock, metaphorically speaking. Fact of the matter is, day-to-day events affect each one of us who live in a modern society. You don&#x

Not gloating. I genuinely enjoy eating pork and meat in general. It's the most nutritious food a human can eat in my humble opinion. I hold no shame in eating and enjoying meat. If I was a scientist and a piggie died as part of an expe

Getting a booster every 6 months vs every 24 months is a 4x difference in the number of boosters you have to take. That's 4x the potential complications (mistakes can happen in science, e.g. thalidomide) and 4x the cost. And no booster

I think if this pandemic struck in the 70s or 80s, it would have been shook off as a moderately more dangerous version of the flu, and there would have been no lockdowns or anything like that. Life would go on as normal until natural herd i

Yeah what you said is pretty much it. And not only will everyone catch COVID at some point, but they will catch it many times over the course of their lives as the virus mutates; you'll get sick but it won't kill you (unless you a
