Y-Combinator published a new set of documents for their SAFE , short for "Simple Agreement for Future Equity". The new version takes the document from a pre-money investment to a post-money investment. But for those of you that know neither versions, a SAFE is a legal document signed by the SAFE investor and a startup, so that the startup gets cash to build their product and the investor gets equity in the company. How much equity the SAFE investor gets is not spelled out in numbers but in the form of a set of equations that should compute this number at a later stage.

At the point of Series A, it is much more clear on how the product performs and whether there is a market. The Series A investment usually happens a year after the SAFE investment. The assumption here is that it is fair to both the startup and th
My monitor, or my X version, or my Xorg drivers, or my KMS kernel, or my xscreensaver version, or my goldfish has a broken DPMS implementation, so that my monitor doesn't turn of when idle. This is a particular waste of energy during the night. Luckily my monitor responds correctly to xset dpms force off when issued twice with a small delay. Using xprintidle-ng , I can work around the problem. #!/bin/sh ACTIVATE=$(expr 60 \* 1000 \* 45) # sleep after 45 mins. LASTIDLE=0 while sleep 60; do IDLE=$(xprintidle-ng) if [ "$LASTIDLE" -lt "$ACTIVATE" -a "$IDLE" -ge "$ACTIVATE" ]; then xset dpms force off sleep 10 xset dpms force off fi LASTIDLE="$IDLE" done
