If only there was a permissionless way to transfer value and payments across the internet without a gatekeeper

The most similar feed I've found is https://feed.rekt.news/day

But there isn't a website with comment threads that are high quality. Most of the quality crypto discussions happen in Telegram and Discord.

I've realized one of the reasons programmers dislike cryptocurrency is because they value efficiency more than they understand incentive systems. They complain that crypto is inefficient and unoptimized and miss that it's an entirely new incentive system.

There's a lot to be skeptical of in the cryptocurrency space, but a community centered around outsized gains through startups should remember that pessimists get to be right and optimists get to be rich.

- "Tag" - shoots other player

- "Capture the flag" - shoots other player

- "Hide and seek" - shoots other player

As colorful as this world is, these capabilities terrify me because they're obviously going to be used as powerful weapons of war.

It is a tiny technological leap to install this learning into a Boston Robotics Spot attached to a firearm.

I'm pro-tech, pro-crypto, pro-ml and these videos fill me with dread.

I love this essay so much. So much that I tried to implement all of the demos in JavaScript, which you can try in interactive form here: https://www.newline.co/choc/

newline | Course author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.newline.co/write-with-us 7 out of our last 10 authors made $50k+ (each). We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new courses this year. Our books & courses sell very well because: - We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps. - We guarantee they're up-to-date. - We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k) - We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time. If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the course. We have an audience, and we know what they want to learn - so when your course is done, we already have people who want to buy it. If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your manuscript in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties on profit are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend, Fullstack D3 even more.) We’re looking to write the definitive guides on programming topics. Things like "The newline Guide to Authentication with React and Node in 2020" - But variations on that can be any major stack or task: Not only JavaScript, but also Rust, Go, Java, AWS, DevOps, Angular, React, ASP.NET Core, Serverless, Python, Elixir, Data Science etc. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Sorry to hear you're going through this. I went through something similar and it wasn't fun.

As much as you have shareholder agreements etc. none of that matters too much if the business fails and so it's basically about what the two of you can negotiate.

In my case, I've paid off a former business partner much like a loan. You can negotiate all sorts of parameters on this: monthly payments, grace period, cash triggers, funding triggers etc.

Basically you set a valuation for the business (at least as set by the price of the round of the last investor, if not more because of growth) and then he buys your ownership.

Idk what "reverse" vesting is, but if you had normal vesting it sounds like your 49%, after the 1 year cliff, would be worth e.g. 12%. So you can either keep that 12% or if he wants to buy you out he could pay you your 12% vested * last valuation * growth factor.

It sounds like it's not going to work for the two of you to work together, so now it's just about negotiating the details before the conflict kills the company

This is amazing. As a programmer/lifter I love this idea and will try it out
