I assume this is in the US. At a small startup, I assume you'd frequently talk with the founders and could just share your concerns directly. If you don't trust the founders to be honest with you, then you may not want to join the

"Getting a more representative sample" is premised on getting as representative a sample as possible, not necessarily perfectly. Using language such as "pester" is making assumptions about the group. In fact, many likely

It seems you could possibly apply this same logic to exclude any subgroup. For example, you must sample the mall-goer population. Some people "seem approachable"/etc. ("respond to your first email"), and you approac

When this is a concern, I do two analyses -- one with and one without the potentially confounding group. It is still better to obtain the data, since otherwise we knowingly have a biased sample. (Somewhat similar to only surveying people wh

Sorry to hear that; I had a similar betrayal happen. My business partner and I had everything in writing, so I also was able to get a lawyer on contingency. From my experience, the legal route can take a long time and prolong your stress. I

Based on your comment, you'll be the only fulltime person until there's funding? In that case, you're at minimum also bringing 150k of value to the table -- even at 50% salary. (Except that their 150k surely will be paid back

When best practices are evangelized, often the context in which they're great is not. It's like any list of rules (e.g. rules for slidedecks) -- great for beginners, perhaps good for consistent team standards. However, once you un

The book "Hands-on Rust" might be perfect. It sounds like it's about Rust, but it's moreso about how to build a Roguelike using the ECS pattern. https://pragprog.com/titles/hwrust/hands-on-rust&

I am wondering which languages have this "reliable by default" property. For example, even Mathematica stores floating-point numbers as double-precision. Mathematica (default settings): In := 0.2 - 0.10000001 Out = 0.1 Ou

It's unclear what "reliable by default" is referring to. The deep learning community already uses Python and C++. Python computes the correct result here, since it uses bigints by default. (The error is when formatting it for

If it's high sales then it's counterfeited even more. The counterfeits are sold for 20-40% less than Amazon's (presumably real) stock, and so Amazon lists the counterfeits as the only Buy Now option.
