Agree with this, 3% of something is better than 40% of nothing. I was a technical co-founder was that left a startup early on, and because we didn't have a vesting agreement from the very beginning, I was entitled to my 40%, even when I left the company. While it was to my advantage, I didn't want my co-founder to give up when I left, so I gave most of it up. For my next startup, I'll make sure to have a goals-based vesting agreement from the very beginning i.e. co-founder gets x% on first sale, x% on first raise

I found this particular post from a hedge fund owner quite insightful why the the stock market is unlikely to crash spectacularly if things keep going the way they go with the Fed bank-rolling https://medium.com/@dan_60967/devils-advocate-the-bull-case-.... The ones stating the market is going to crash are also the ones that are either shorting or have closed out their positions, and waiting to swoop in to profit.

I've been using Evernote for 6 years, and still continue to use it for the following reasons:
* Everyday I use https://marxi.co to write my technical work journals in Markdown (with nice extensions like flowcharts) that gets rendered into rich text format within Evernote
* I archive and tag each article I read with the Evernote Web Clipper, because URLs always go stale so you want your own copy.
* Evernote works with https://ifttt.com so it integrates seamlessly with my other applications and workflows
* Evernote is also capable of OCR within PDFs if you use the paid pro version.
* This means that all sorts of note taking is in a single place, making it a breeze to quickly search.
I pay for Evernote to get around the device limit, offline usage etc, as the free version is pretty crippled. I know there are definitely cheaper alternatives in terms of price, but I feel it's worth it for all the features available because I value my precious time, which I don't want to consume more of to maintain the same set of features using FOSS alternatives. Good thing is that Evernote allows export to a human readable archive format which I use to ensure that I have a personal copy of the notes to prevent vendor lock-in.
EDIT: Just formatting
