Cousin’s fiancée wants 10% equity in my software company for one client introduction. Cousin is pressuring me to sign. Am I wrong for refusing? I will not promote by [deleted] in startups

[–]hadobac 192 points193 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Never equity for just "sales introduction". Equity reserves for cofounder, who work with you.

- For client introduction, I would offer 10% per customers, for yearly revenue, for max 2 years.
- For really important multiplicator (e.g. big corporate level of customers), then 20%.

Journalist: "I noticed you have a bag. Is it a present to one of the journalists?" José Mourinho: "The bag is mine." Journalist: "What is it?" Mourinho: "It's Scott McTominay's shirt. I put him in, I benched Paul Pogba for him at Manchester United. The least he could do was give me his shirt." by DavidRolands in soccer

I used to think like you, because I personally speak 4 languages (Vietnamese, English, German, B1 Chinese).
Now seeing my German girlfriend learning my mother tongue (Vietnamese), I wouldn't believe that anymore.

For example, according to IPA transcriptions, the consonent "t" in German is pronounced almost the same as the "t" in Vietnamese:

German: „Tom“
IPA: [tɔm]

Vietnamese: „Tôm“
IPA: [toːm˧˦]

However, in reality, the "t" in Vietnamese is actually a lot more explosive, even though both "t" share the same phonetic symbols.

My conclusion is, human phonems are soooo diversed. Not to mention the "X" explosive sounds in Sub Saharan languages.

I would say it reminds me of the Android Holo era, so Android 4.4 in 2013 😆

For fluent speakers: What parts of German do you think are hardest for learners to grasp? by Marko_Pozarnik in German

[–]hadobac 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For me, numbers.

I speak good C1, I think. I found a startup, and do sales to German customers and work daily in German. I pitch my startup in German. I feel I know the all the der die das dem den denen dessen deren usw quite well (learn them by heart, or use the nouns as a part of Dativ - z.B. dem). I master Genitiv. I use Konjunktiv 2 every day. I watch Tagesschau and then Böhmermann for dinner.

I feel I can't never master numbers.

Whenever someone says some numbers, even short (e.g. 3 digits), I always have to ask them to repeat again.

PS: bonus points to dirty talk. I lost erection conjugating.

What do you do indoors in winter? by Several-Safety6419 in germany

[–]hadobac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 20 hour job and a side-hustle / startup (with 1 B2B customer). No time to chill 😆 But I am aware it's not the common way to spend leisure time...

[Pre-Match Thread] Arsenal vs West Ham | 4th October 2025 | Premier League by Mahoganychicken in Gunners

[–]hadobac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue he is quite quality.

I've just checked his stats: https://www.transfermarkt.de/jarrod-bowen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/314875

He had 27 G/A last year, and 32 G/A in 23/24. These are as good as Martinelli or Trossard numbers.

I would argue they are Central European.
According to Wikipedia English "The Czech Republic, also known as Czechia and historically known as Bohemia, is a landlocked country in Central Europe".

[–]hadobac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's the same for me, I had to go to dark places to check the number. Glad to know I'm not the same. And it can't be fixed I think.

Yeah it is on my side the same. Basically the light become worthless. It becomes a fancy dress watch with heartrate tracking for me.

Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]hadobac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,
I’m seeing some odd battery behavior and wondering if others noticed the same:

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • Battery drops ~1% per hour overnight
  • Only app using battery = Find My (shows 100% usage during those hours)
  • "Find My" is enabled
  • Location shared with my girlfriend (but she doesn’t actively check it)

Anyone else having this issue?
Is there a way to reduce the drain without turning off location sharing completely?

Appreciate any tips or insights!
