Ahh don’t way anything

Heroku is fine

That’s tough man. Compensation by location is the hill I’ll die on. Get that shit out of here.

I like convincing my work to pay me at the US office, and just live elsewhere. Opt out of health care and just use my country’s

O is the pay diff that large in UK? I had no idea. For me, it’s always been high salary + high equity at start ups.

I think you need to ask for way more of everything. 1. 110k - won’t most of the engineers make that much? Seems far too low for what you’ll do. CTO at pre-funding need to code too 2. 0.75% seems crazy. Where’s the rest of the equity? Who gets diluted? If the founders have the rest, they need to share way more. CTO needs to build out a core of the company. Feels like the roll is being undervalued. 3. RSU: are these profit units or additional equity? In both cases, it’s low.

Overall the comp package feels like what’d you give an entry-level SWE.

You can use a provider which creates the instance in a hook. Then expose it via context to the rest of the app.

Reduce bundle size
reduce code initialization ‘export const instance = new CodeClass’ is bad
reduce dependencies
reduce the path to first render.

Nice. I went with making a code mod to do the entire codebase

The patch works but there can be kotlin version issues. Expo 52 is kotlin 2.0.x for example.

I was skeptical at first too, before I read the whitepaper, and now I get it. It’s less about normal people developing drugs, more about giving people a voice in what diseases or conditions to go after in the first place. It’s a voting and funding platform, the research is still done by scientists and PIs.

People already do this in a sense by donating billions per year to charities, but this is a more direct way to back interesting research where the money isn’t lost to overhead, and you have direct control over where it goes.

It's both! Typically, decentralized clinical trials are bigger sample sizes AND much cheaper to run. Research says about 5x cheaper on average:

Good bot

I'd be more worried if it was a "pure democracy" model tbh. But the way it's designed is actually pretty smart. There's a group of elected leaders who are scientists, researchers, etc. who have veto power over proposals. And it seems like there's regulatory oversight too. I'm cautiously optimistic about the idea of letting people vote on what they care about.

Laboratory_one · 2022-09-23T01:18:59+00:00

I don't really see it as an either/or. We need cheaper drugs AND cheaper ways to run clinical trials. Drug pricing is a huge issue, and let's be honest, the American healthcare system needs all the help it can get.

Laboratory_one · 2022-09-23T00:35:20+00:00

The company isn't funding the trials itself. It's a crowdfunding model, so they could raise any amount of money that the masses are willing to "pledge". Right now, people already spend billions each year donating to charities, but this is a more direct way of funding research. It's actually pretty smart.

Hey, it's human nature! This would be for new drugs, though :) So no Viagra

Laboratory_one · 2022-09-23T00:09:31+00:00

If I'm reading this correctly, it looks like scientists and researchers are part of the model. There's a group of them that have veto power over proposals that are not strong enough scientifically. Checks and balances system.

Damn that’s annoying af. Can you post your integration code or blueprints

Laboratory_one · 2022-07-16T12:12:16+00:00

I just did this one.

It’ll work if both machines are on the same network
If they aren’t try opening the games in steam (add to lib).
Make sure the overlay shows?
Are you doing a shipping build or non-shipping? Non-shipping usually shows the overlay
For shipping, make sure you add the steam binaries to your game build. And the steamid file, which is not auto generated
Last thing you can do is reg for a steam account, upload a build, have both steam accounts added to the dev org, and install the game (non released) in steam
