I went through a similar process recently, and ended up getting the Spindle: https://spindlemattress.com/ . It's also an "assembly your own" latex setup, although instead of shoppi…

How would you say Noms compares to Datomic[1]? Both projects are working on the same idea of representing a database as tree of commits over time. From my quick inspection, it look…

Okay, I did not know about this law. Thank you.

Okay, yeah, dctoedt points to the law[1] where this is described. I did not know about this law. Interesting, though, that the courts' appraisals are trusted over the market in thi…

As maxerickson said, this possibility should be covered in the shareholder agreement. For that reason, any shareholder is already responsible for factoring in the risk of a buyout-…

But all shareholders should have factored in the risk of this situation arising when they purchased the shares, should they not have? The risk of a future buyout-by-vote was always…

This is interesting. I have definitely seen a similar idea before, even down to the "six people" setup. A quick search turned up: https://www.smeeters.com/ http://www.sixr.com.au/ …

Establishing a public forum for earnest discussion of startup ideas seems likely even more valuable than the actual funding of community-picked proposals. But also, the chance of r…

Could you elaborate on the supply of quality VCs? What are some examples of high quality vs low quality VCs? How would you suggest ranking different VCs? Do you have any rough coun…

Cool! I was just thinking about building something like this myself, after reaching the point where I save almost everything I read to Diigo, just to get searchability.
