I'm fascinated by this kind of reflective engagement between human and AI creativity. Human makes an AI joke; second human finds the joke funny and thinks for a minute of an absurd sub-joke; AI fills in joke details; human interacts with sub-joke by making up review; ....

I hope something really fun for you comes out of the unexpected scale.

I was being malicious and dropped down onto the hovering pink cube outside the play area on the final level. Once you roll off that pink cube your respawn point is on the cube, leaving you stuck and unable to get back to the main course.

NBD but sharing in case you want this kind of playtesting feedback!

This line is really interesting:

> The best interests of the company and the mission always come first.

That is absolutely not true for the nonprofit inc. The mission comes first. Full stop. The company (LLC) is a means to that end.

Very interested to see how this governance situation continues to change.

The author agrees with you. They're saying that the lack of legal protection for fonts is a problem, and that creating an opportunity to challenge that law would be a good thing.

Courts can only weigh in on legal issues when people bring a dispute before the court. In this case, if someone did what the author describes it would trigger a lawsuit from typographers, which would give the court a chance to (re)interpret or overturn the existing law.

That's awesome, small world indeed. Make Salt Lake looks great.

Yeah I share that conviction. This space is less about creating value and capturing a part of it than creating community (though done well the value created by a thriving community _is_ substantial). And for reasons I've only partially grokked, many people are willing to contribute to a community backed by a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation but not a regular corporation.

I strongly second the suggestion to explore operating as a non-profit if you continue.

My local incarnation, BARN[0][1] is a financially sustainable nonprofit. However, we wouldn't be sustainable as a for-profit company, certainly not if we had investors chasing a return.

I don't understand why this is being downvoted. Bankruptcy is a tool to encourage efficient risk-taking and solving otherwise tricky collective action problems for creditors.

There's an unfortunate stigma about bankruptcy in the U.S. which leads to _far_ fewer people/businesses filing bankruptcy than should be.

No one is better off limping along under unsustainable debt, not businesses and not individuals. We need to get rid of this stigma and let people use the tools we put in place to solve these problems.

Came here to say this. It's entertaining and enjoyable reading that happens to be about financial topics. It is to financial literacy what "take a long vacation in France" is to learning French.

Personal pain point: Math seems to be a growing topic on the web and tools like MathJax are a popular tool for talking about Math. But (most? all?) RSS readers won't render MathJax. Does anyone have a simple and effective way to handle display issues like that?

These considerations are exactly why we started Thinkful and why we emphasize expert mentorship and accountability so much.
