INTERVIEW: Miku (An Cafe/[Lc5]) ClubZy #01

Miku (Antic Cafe, = during the hiatus, Lc5), who last year was abstaining from activities.

At the end of last year, he appeared as a guest on the “year-end special of the Izakaya Hakuei program” and there must have been many fans who were relieved by the pleasant exchange between him and Hakuei, right? We asked him how he has been in the past few days and listened carefully to his response to what kind of change there was in his life amid the change in the world due to the coronavirus (I will post the interview in two parts).

Interview: Kaie Atsushi

Translate: Shiro_0106

―First, I want to ask you thinking from last year. How was last year?

Miku: I had a lot to think about but, more than that, I think it was a year of stagnation. After all, when the first state of emergency was declared, everyone had to be isolated, right? However, even among these people, there were people who were able to work normally, so I thought each case was different, but there were also people who felt bad... So it was a moment when I thought I should re-evaluate my work again. I ended up thinking carefully about the future.

―I heard that there are a lot of young actors in the entertainment industry who are delivering candies for Uber Eats or who started a side business.

Miku: Oh, I thought "I shouldn't be at home all the time either!" I actually looked for a part-time job on an app.

―Wow！ What an attitude!

Miku: I searched without entering the search information, but... I couldn't find even one (laughs). Didn't show anything. So I thought that everyone must have had the same idea (to get a job).

―Actually, it looks like there are few job offers. Because it ended up becoming a world of people looking for a job.

Miku: So I had no choice but to stay home for a while. This is not very good, but I started to think "a life like this is also good, huh?" (bitter smile).

―A life of staying at home？ (laughs)

Miku: A life like cooking your own food for a month, and leaving the house just to go to the market! Buying in large quantities and thinking about how to make recipes with the things I have at home. So, consequently, it was a period in which the value of the credit card bill was very low. It made me think "I've been wasting my money untill now!"

―Now you don't eat out, do you? (laughs)

Miku: It's true! In the end, cooking my own food became fun and at the same time I trained too, so I started thinking “how gratifying!” (laughs)

―Yes!

Miku: Yeah, but I'm gradually missing people. That's why I found some friends to deal with work issues and what should take about 1 hour, became a 5-hour conversation… Maybe it's because I'm missing people and that's why I didn't want to leave them go when I meet them after a long time, right? "Oh, but now there is no such thing as remote meetings or remote drinking?" But then I thought again “human beings really need to meet people in person.

-I understand. There are also the advantages of being remote and not having to go out for a meeting or to give an interview, but I clearly think that the theme often develops better when it is face to face, right?

Miku: Also, in my case, I feel more nervous when it's remote than when it's face to face. Because it's annoying to be talking repeatedly to a screen. So, I think that last year really was a year of stagnation. But cooking my own food was fun (bitter laugh). I arbitrarily decided that 2020 was a difficult year! But, as I'm managing to live, I have been thinking that I'm a happy person.

―Now we're also in the same situation, right? I mean, you can't do shows as an artist, can you?

Miku: About musical activities, I always felt that I shouldn't do anything.

―Ohh ... That may have been the right decision, right?

Miku: I don't know if it was correct or not, but I wanted to do everything I could at home.

―What can you do at home... lives?

Miku: No, no. I studied several things. I like English a lot, so I studied English every day! I've been learning since kindergarten.

―Is it a preparation for an expansion abroad?

Miku: No, it's not this (bitter laugh). I just thought "don't you have anything to do at home?" I learned English when I was little, so I wanted to revise it. Also, talking about something I was addicted to last year, there's the Korean drama "Crash Landing on You"! I was watching a lot (laughs).

―You're following the trends, don't you? (laughs)

Miku: No, I was very touched! Almost all the characters are good people. Oh, there are the bad people too, but they are almost good people! I liked that view of love.　

―I see... it somehow looks gratifying, right? (laughs)

Miku: The satisfaction of an idler (bitter laugh).

―But you're a homebody anyway, right?

Miku: That's right! I'm the type that goes out as little as possible. However, as I said at the beginning, I thought I had to go out.

― Going out to go to the gym or something like this?

Miku: The gym is also closed, so when I said "go out", I meant "go out for a walk" (bitter laugh).

―Walking is also a good exercise, right? Is important!

Devildom Easter Egg Hunt

A little late, but the idea came to me at like 11pm last night and I'm old and suck at staying up late these days.

Anyway, Easter in the Devildom. With my MC Kore, because I missed writing about her.

Warnings: Female MC, Not a reader insert, polyamory, way too much description of baskets of chocolate, that's it.

“What the hell are ya wearing Kore?”

“Everyone come to the council room after classes, it’s important.” That’s what the text had said. The one sent from your phone to all of the brothers, and all three residents of Purgatory Hall. It was more than a little suspicious, for one Kore never wanted to stay longer at RAD than she really had to, and secondly she was usually much more polite when requesting a favour. But to use the council room she must have gained Diavolo’s permission so it couldn’t be anything too bad right? At least, that’s how they reassured themselves before turning up. Whatever scenarios they had planned out, none of them came close to what greeted them in the council room.

She looked down for a moment, before grinning back at Mammon. “You don’t recognise it?”

“I believe what Mammon means is why are you wearing that?” Lucifer sighed, shaking his head at the younger demon who had been momentarily rendered speechless.

“Well…” She started, still smiling happily at them all, “it’s Easter in the human realm, and since I already had the bunny costume on hand from that serving job we did, I thought I could share some of the festivities with you all. Technically I’m a bit late, Easter was yesterday, but I wanted Dia, um, Lord Diavolo to be able to join in and he wasn’t back until last night.”

The Prince in question was standing behind her beaming happily, nodding along with everything Kore said. “Now now Lucifer, no need to look so grumpy. I think it’s wonderful Kore wanted to bring something from the human realm to all of us!”

“But, that doesn’t explain why yer wearing that!” Mammon huffed. “Anyone could see ya like that!”

“Mammon… everyone already has seen me in this? And you’re all here anyway.” She shrugged. “In the human realm there’s an easter tradition where a rabbit brings chocolate eggs to kids. I know you’re not kids, but it seemed like fun. I organised an egg hunt and everything!”

“Did you say chocolate?”

“Yes Beel, chocolate eggs. The ones for the egg hunt aren’t, because it would give you an unfair advantage, but the prizes are chocolate eggs.” She laughed, pointing to the small pile of baskets behind her. “No touching until we’re done.”

Beel pouted a little, but stared determinedly at the baskets. Levi frowned beside him.

“So, this is a game? Are there clues?” His eyes flashed with interest, games he could do.

“Not really, I can give you some if you’re stuck though!” Kore laughed. “So, I hid 60 eggs, with Barbatos’ help so he’s going to stay here and keep me company guarding the prize baskets. He isn’t allowed to tell anyone where they are, including you Dia, and you agreed to not ask him.” Diavolo nodded. “So, the rules are; no magic,” she nodded towards Solomon and Lucifer, “no stealing from other people, if they found the egg it’s theirs,” a few sideways glances towards Mammon, “and no fighting. Everyone got that?”

There were assorted nods and murmurs of acceptance from the gathered Demons and Angels.

“Don’t look so pouty Luci, you don’t have to join in if you don’t want to. You can still have a basket of chocolates.”

Lucifer huffed. “Of course I’m taking part. But you neglected to tell us where the eggs had been hidden, unless you mean for us to search the whole Devildom?”

Kore blushed and shook her head. “Sorry! They’re in RAD, the Castle and their grounds. I would have hidden them in the House of Lamentation and Purgatory Hall but I didn’t get time between classes and Barb had duties to fulfill.”

“Then can we begin?”

She nodded at Lucifer. “The inaugural Devildom Easter Egg Hunt is go! Good Luck!”

Kore leaned back against the table, watching with amusement as the group scattered, most heading for the door to scour the school. Simeon and Luke stayed back, opting to look around the council room first instead. Simeon glanced down at Luke, standing on his tiptoes to try and peer over one of the taller plinths and sighed.

“Kore?”

She glanced over at the angel. “What is it Simeon?”

“Would it be permissible to work in teams for this game?” He nodded towards Luke, expression fond as ever.

“Of course Simeon! It’s not really as serious as all that, I only put the rules in place so no one spoiled the fun by magicking all the eggs to them or getting into a fight. It’s just for fun.” She giggled, patting one of the prize baskets. “Besides, I’d put money on Beel and Belphie already teaming up. Even if it’s just from Belphie’s laziness.”

As if on queue a shout echoed through the room from the corridor. “Oi! Ya not allowed to work together like that!”

“Kore never said working together was against the rules!”

“Mammon, let them be. Belphie isn’t likely to be much help when Beel is carrying him.”

Kore burst into laughter, shaking her head at their antics. “Well, I would wish you luck again Simeon, but I don’t think you’re in the most need of it.”

He chuckled in response, heading over to the younger angel to guide him out of the room. “Indeed, come on Luke. See you later Kore.”

She nodded, in response, leaning back and listening to the echoing voices through the halls as Barbatos came to sit beside her, letting her lean her shoulder against his.

That was how they found them two hours later, when all of the eggs had been collected and the hunters returned to the room, Kore tucked against Barbatos’ side giggling at something he’d told her while his arm rested around her waist.

“Ah, I’m glad to see you weren’t too bored while we were searching for eggs!” Diavolo boomed, chuckling at the sight before them.

Kore flushed bright pink, head shooting up to stare at the gathered group with wide eyes. Her gaze shifted quickly over Mammon and Levi, smiling softly at them to try and ease the tension from them. There would likely be time for a discussion later, but she was pleased to see neither jumped to chase Barbatos away from her, polyamory was hardest for the two of them but they were growing, learning.

“You should know already that Barbatos is excellent company.” She chuckled, shaking her head. “Go on then, how many eggs have you all collected?”

They handed over their eggs, letting Kore note down how many each had carefully before the next person handed theirs over. She paused half way through, looking at the ones Beel and Belphie handed over with a small frown.

“Um, Beel, why is this one half of an egg?” She asked, holding the slightly mangled object in her palm.

Beel rubbed the back of his neck, refusing to meet her gaze. “I, um, forgot you said they weren’t chocolate and I got hungry.”

“It was lucky he didn’t swallow it whole.” Belphie grumbled.

Kore giggled and nodding, noting down their score.

Once all the eggs were counted Kore jumped from the table ready to announce the scores.

“Alright gentlemen, the scores for the inaugural Devildom Easter Egg hunt are in! I’ll be going in ascending order of score, last place to first okay?” There were a few nods. “Okay, last place with two eggs is Asmo,”

“I knew I shouldn’t have stopped to fix my hair.”

“6th place is Solomon with three eggs, not bad, joint 5th place are Satan and the team of Simeon and Luke with five eggs each,”

“Well done Luke, you found most of those for us! I’d have been last without your help.”

“Damn, if Lucifer hadn’t beaten me up that tree using his stupid wings…”

Kore paused. “Wait, you climbed a tree Satan?!”

“Don’t worry Kore, I have it all on video. I may not have found many eggs, but I did capture most of the best moments on camera. Satan was very cat-like.”

“Thank you Solomon, I’ll be getting all of those from you later.” She grinned, looking back to the list. Okay, so 4th place is Lucifer with seven eggs. Then in joint 3rd place we have Mammon and Diavolo with eight eggs each, congratulations both of you,”

“I guess third place ain’t too bad. At least I beat Lucifer.”

“Oh excellent! I think that was very good for my first Easter Egg Hunt, don’t you?”

“Yes Dia, that’s a very respectable score. In 2nd place with ten eggs is Levi,”

“Damn, I guess it’s not bad for a game that involved physical activity…”

“Which means in 1st place is the team of Beel and Belphie with twelve eggs. Congratulations you two.”

“It was pretty much all Beel.” Belphie yawned. “As soon as he knew there was food on the line I mostly just napped.”

“Honestly I’d have been very impressed if anyone beat Beel in a competition that involved winning something edible.” Solomon chuckled.

“Alright, so Beel, Belphie, you get first choice of the Easter baskets.” Kore smiled, gesturing towards the table behind her.

“Are they not all the same then?”

“No Luke, they’re all the same value but the contents differ slightly. Different shops and types of chocolate. Some just have big eggs, there’s a couple with lots of small things, some are a mix of everything… you know? Also Barbatos baked a couple of treats, so there’s one in each basket too.”

“You put a lot of thought into this.” Diavolo hummed. “It’s very impressive Kore.”

She rubbed the back of her neck, looking down at the floor. “Well, Barb helped a lot, and… um, I just wanted to make sure it was fun?”

“You did an excellent job on your own, I merely offered a helping hand.” Barbatos sighed, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Do not sell yourself short Kore.”

“Ah… Thank you. Okay guys, pick your baskets.”

Beel, to the surprise of no one, picked a basket full of large eggs, Belphie went for one with small sheep shaped chocolates. Levi picked a basket with a mix, including some small pink flower shaped chocolates that looked just like ones from an episode of the anime he watched the week before. Mammon’s basket also had a mix, mostly white chocolates dusted with golden sheen. Diavolo picked a basket of large eggs, dark, white and milk with intricate decorations across their surface. Lucifer’s basket of choice was filled with the darkest chocolate, more bitter than sweet and perfect with coffee. Simeon and Luke picked matching baskets, large and small chocolates in marbled milk and white. Satan’s basket was small chocolates, full of unique flavours and combinations. The final two baskets were fairly similar, a mix of sizes and types, though Asmo’s leant more towards fruity flavours than Solomon’s. With all the baskets collected Kore grinned at them.

“Happy Easter everyone!” She paused, glancing over at Barbatos. “Oh, Barb, your basket should be in your room.”

2: Ink

I looked up Harry's file, I had looked at it before on the FBI page, but it was the standard documents, medical history, school records, and his background.

I pulled out the access code Mr. Callahan had given me and typed it into the systems network, instantly at least thirty more documents on Harry came up, these were the very private documents that only officials such as Mr. Callahan and the higher ranked officers were allowed access to.

The newest up to date picture of Harry had been his mugshot from six months ago, back when his skin wasn't so pale it was almost gray, or when his cheeks weren't so sunken in from malnourishment. His hair was tamed, still long, but not as long as it was now.

Harry had been an attractive guy at one point, although I would never admit that to anyone.

Reports of Harry's recent run in with the law came up and I wasn't shocked to find out he had ties with several drug busts and had been caught using more than once. It was minor charges of marijuana, nothing heavier than THC.

The next few files were smaller accusations, a DUI, and a claim of property damage, the dated year was Harry's senior year of high school, no doubt a stupid high school prank.

Nothing really seemed to stand out, but I jotted down the small accounts in the file.

The next couple of pages were more or less just added information, court dates, tickets, so on and so forth.

It wasn't until about the fifth page I found the one document that could be my potential next lead.

Mr. Samuel Tracey, the owner of the handgun found in Harry's car that night.

It looked like I was going to have to pay Mr. Tracey a visit.

Samuel Tracey lived six blocks from my apartment, he wasn't hard to find.

I knocked on his door and waited patiently, I could hear shuffling from the other side. Finally a gruff voice hollered "Who is it?"

"Detective DeLaney. I'm looking for a Samuel Tracey." I said holding up my badge to the peephole, the deadbolt clicked and the door cracked open before an old man with a beard submerged from behind it.

He was wearing glasses and a sweater vest, those were the first things I noticed about Mr. Tracey.

"What do you want?"

"Mr. Tracey, have you ever seen this man?" I asked holding up a picture of Harry from the folder in my hands.

Tracey studied the picture for a second before nodding slightly.

"I've seen him. Why? What has he done?"

I looked around, his house was located on a busy street, cars and people passing by.

"It's kind of a personal matter, mind if I come inside?" I asked and he paused before slowly moving out of the doorway allowing me to step inside.

His home was warm, and smelled old.

"Have a seat." Tracey grumbled before taking a seat himself on the recliner across from the couch.

"So what's he done?"

"Well, Mr. Tracey-"

"Call me Sam." He corrected.

"He was found about six months ago with a handgun in his car, this particular handgun belonged to you." I said and he sighed a long exasperated sigh.

"Damn kids." He mumbled under his breath.

"Excuse me?" I asked and he rubbed his hands together sitting forward.

"Harry and my boy were friends, Douglas," He said gesturing to a picture of a young man about Harry's age hanging on the wall.

"Douglas was killed about two months ago in a drug heist." Tracey said clearing his throat and I instantly felt sympathy for him.

"I'm so sorry."

"No, he was always getting into trouble, hell from the time he was in elementary school I was getting calls for his behavior, I didn't expect much more out of him as he got older." He explained, I noticed then the bottle of scotch and glass sitting on the coffee table. Mr. Tracey poured himself a glass before offering me some which I declined.

"My wife Laura," He continued, "died giving birth, leaving me to raise Douglas. I tried my best by him, worked three jobs to give him the best life I could give him, but he took it for granted." He said taking a sip of his drink.

"Mr. Tra- Sam," I corrected, "You said Harry and your son were friends?" I asked and he nodded.

"Harry and Douglas went to school together, and they were friends all the way up until about six months ago when Harry disappeared. They would hang out after school and once they graduated my son and Harry would hang out almost every other day or so, no doubt both doing things they shouldn't do, which leads me to ask again, what did Harry do?"

I sighed and opened the folder containing Harry's file.

"About six months ago the police found Harry's car outside of a Mr. Wesley Langston's home, he had been waiting there for about four hours for Mr. Langston to return home, and he had your handgun in the car with him. He also had some rope, sheets, duct tape, other various items, so the intent was clear what he was planning on doing." I said and Mr. Tracey's features changed to surprised by the news.

"Harry?" He asked and I nodded.

"Harry was such a good kid, I mean, he got into trouble like Douglas but Harry would never try to kill anyone.."

"I would like to think so too Mr. Tracey, but as of right now Harry is still pledging guilty until proven otherwise." I said and Tracey sighed.

"I don't know anything about the gun. I realized it was missing about two weeks ago when I was going through my things trying to find something to sell to pay my rent," he said taking another sip, "since Douglas passed I've let myself slip, I lost all three of my jobs, of course, the government takes no pity on people like me. So I decided to try and sale some of my things to get money to get back on my feet until I could find a job, I didn't even know the gun was gone until then." He explained and I nodded sympathizing.

"Well, the gun will stay with the police for evidence until the trial is over and decided, if you want it back-"

"I don't want it back." Tracey said cutting me off.

"Tell them to keep it, I'll even sign my name over to them, I just, I don't want it back. I'm old," He started, "I'm old and I'm at the point now, my wife is gone, my son is gone, if someone breaks into my house with the intent to kill me, well, I'll be ready." His eyes were misty and I swallowed a lump, such a sad thing when someone doesn't value their life anymore after all the trials and tribulations they had been through.

"I understand." I said finally, gathering my things to leave.

"I'll let the police department know that you want to sign the title over to them, I'm sure someone will contact you within the next week or so to do it."

Tracey nodded and then he too stood up.

"I'm sorry I wasn't more help." He said and I shook my head.

"No, you were a good help, I can mark this off my list." I said and he smiled a small smile then offered to walk me out.

"Thank you for your time Mr. er, Sam." I corrected.

"You're quite welcome Ms. DeLaney."

I headed to my car, it had started to rain, shocker.

My phone began to ring and it was Lennon.

"Hello?"

"Good morning." He said from the other end and I could practically hear his flirty smirk.

"Are you off today?" I asked.

"I am, I was actually wondering if you wanted to get some lunch?" He asked and I wanted to say yes, but I knew I had far too much research to do.

"I would love to, but Callahan has me on Harry search all weekend."

"Oh, I understand." He said sighing.

There was a silence.

"So I'm guessing our dinner plans are off for tonight then?"

I felt my heart sink, I had forgotten about our date.

"Tristan I-"

"No really, it's fine." He said sincerely although I knew he was really disappointed.

I thought about it for a minute.

"You know what? How does takeout sound? My place tonight? Maybe you can help me with my research." I said and I heard him chuckle.

"Sounds great. Seven?"

"Seven." I agreed before hanging up.

I drove to the library, it was always quiet there and I figured I could get some more research done.

The wind whipped around me creating goosebumps on my arms and legs, I was glad I had chosen to wear slacks today.

As I stepped through the library door, the warmth welcomed me, I always silently adored libraries, the smell of books and the serene calm of the silence of those going into parallel universes created in their minds by the turning of each page.

The librarian, Doris, knew me well, she lived in our building for while after Devlin and I moved in and I had come to this library many times in the past to do research on cases. She smiled fondly at me as I walked over the help desk.

"Detective DeLaney nice to see you."

"Doris, I told you, call me Avery." I said smiling and she laughed.

"I'll try to remember that."

I smiled at at her and headed over to the table I usually sat at, pulling out my laptop and connecting it to the internet.

The next four hours I spent looking up every single detail I could get about Harry, his mother Anne, his sister Gemma, his father Desmond, all of the people in his life. There was nothing out of the ordinary, which only infuriated me more that I wasn't getting anything.

My cell phone buzzed in my pocket and I stepped outside to take the call, it was Devlin.

"Hey Ave, I'm on lunch wanna grab something?" She asked and I thought about declining but the growl in my stomach told me otherwise.

"Where?"

I met Devlin at Wahaca, a Mexican restaurant, she was sitting in a corner booth clad in her scrubs, today was Minnie Mouse.

"I ordered you a tequila sunrise." She said smirking and I rolled my eyes.

"It's midday."

"And? You walked here didn't you?"

I started to protest but the waitress reappeared with a large glass of orange and red liquid, an umbrella and orange wedge sat on top.

"Thank you."

She took our order before disappearing again.

"So, any news on Styles?" She asked dipping a chip in salsa.

"No, and the only lead I got turned out to not really be a lead at all. Turns out the gun that was on him belonged to a friend of his father, his son, Harry's friend, was killed a couple of months ago and he doesn't want the gun back." I said and she looked sympathetic.

"How sad."

"Tell me about it."

"So what now?" She asked and I shrugged tugging on my hair.

"I have no idea Dev, Callahan wants all this information on Styles by Monday and I have nothing."

"What about the other guy? Langston right?"

"I haven't done a lot of research on him yet, but the police already talked to him and said he cleared." I said and she nodded.

"You should still do some research just in case they missed something."

"You're right." I agreed and the food arrived.

We ate and talked some more about the case and her job.

"I'm telling you, if he asks again I'm tempted to do it." She said and I laughed.

"I think you should, he's good looking, smart, he's obviously got money.."

"Yeah, yeah." She said waving her hand.

"What about you and Officer sexy?" She asked talking about Lennon, I could feel my cheeks reddening.

"He's actually coming over tonight."

Her eyebrows lifted and she smirked.

"Oh really? Should I occupy myself with something tonight and leave you two...?"

"No, it's not like that." I said rolling my eyes, "He's just coming to help me with the case."

"Mmhmm, I hope you shaved your legs."

I rolled my eyes but could feel my cheeks blazing again.

"I mean it's not like you haven't-"

I blushed even harder and avoided her gaze.

"Oh my God, you haven't slept with him yet? Seriously?"

"Shut up." I said and she burst into a fit of giggles.

"Ave! Get on it! I mean literally get on it. "

"Shut up!"

"I'm just saying!" She said throwing her hands up and then checking her watch.

"Shit, I have to get back to work."

I nodded and slid out of the booth behind her, laying a tip on the table as we walked out.

"I'll see you at home." I said and she shook her head.

"Oh no, I'm not coming home until late, I'll leave you and Officer Hot Pants to it."

I smacked her on the arm and she laughed again before hugging me and departing in the opposite direction to her car.

The walk back to the library was short, but I was freezing by the time I got there.

My muscles were stiff from sitting so long and when I checked the time I jumped in panic to realize that it was going on five thirty.

I put my laptop back in my bag and my things before waving goodbye to Doris and leaving the library.

The air outside had dropped measurably and I shivered getting into my car putting the heat on full blast.

When I got to the apartment I took a quick shower, shaving my legs I felt the heat return to my cheeks, Devlin could be right.

I was in the kitchen when I heard the doorbell buzz and I headed to the speaker.

Come on up." I said and within a few minutes I heard a light tap on the door.

I opened the door, expecting to see Tristan on the other side, but who was there instead had my heart pounding, my head swimming, and the feeling of vomit creeping up my windpipe.

He was leaning up against the door frame, his arms crossed, clad in a white tee shirt and a pair of black jeans; his inky tattoos snaked up his arms and across his torso visible through his thin tee shirt. His hair was now tamed and swirled in waves around his face, a smirk placed on his full lips, his green eyes burning dangerously into mine.

"Hello Avery." Greeted Harry.

WHY I'M SMARTER THAN THINGS

And so hackers, like painters, must have empathy to do really great work. It's that death is the default for startups, but as far as I can tell you how much an expert can know about it, because all three are doable. So if you can get away with working as if the goal were to discover good ideas, especially in technology. What cram schools are, in successive lines. If founders' instincts already gave them the right answers, they wouldn't need to examine their credentials. You can't prevent great variations in wealth without preventing people from getting rich, and you don't have to be on 12 boards at once, or does there have to be designed to suit human strengths and weaknesses as much as shoes have to be on 12 boards at once, then a VC fund can do 2 series A deals per partner per year. Now the people who work there.1 Programming languages are for hackers, and learning what they want, or they'll get the wrong candidates. Usually there is something deeper wrong. Maybe it would be a lost cause trying to create a giant, public company, and act surprised when someone made you an offer. It could be the reason they don't have any illusions that being able to solve it. And microcomputers turned out to be a problem.2

We're dealing with one of their investors.3 Even a committee of two gets in the way.4 Fortunately the process of discovering it's broken, you'll come up with ideas for startups, one of the angels in his Baptism of Christ. If coming up with a million dollar idea is just to read. One of the worst things that can happen to a startup a few days ago I suddenly realized Microsoft was dead. Are you crazy? But that doesn't sound like conversation. It was common for the master to paint the principal figures and for assistants to paint the others and the background.

Often the founders themselves didn't know why their ideas were promising. But can you think of technology as something that's spreading like a sort of Valley within the Valley, lightning has a sign bit. But I don't think ordinary programmers' opinions matter.5 The founders sometimes think they know. I said a good rule of thumb in the VC business were established when founders needed investors more. Many Perl programs probably begin as just a couple guys in an apartment, which did not seem cool in 1995 the way it does now. So many of the people who talk about it publicly till long afterward. If you think about it if you're trying to decide whether to start one.6 Microsoft could have, will you convince investors?7 It was not until Perl 5 if then that the language was suitable for writing serious programs, and yet pay a higher price for them. You do not want to design your society in a way that is extremely rare in technology. It must have seemed to our competitors that we had to make search better, and users will gradually seep over to you.8

A round, before the VCs invest they make the company set aside a block of stock for future hires—usually between 10 and 30% of the company for him.9 Different types of investors are entering this territory, there is still room for more. And then of course it's going to seem hard. Maybe in the future.10 For a new language.11 I think people believe that coming up with an idea for a startup to starting one, and looking back, I'm amazed how much worry it caused me. But that world ended a few years of being used only by a small number of early adopters. If one top-tier VC firm started to do series A rounds?12 In addition to our interest in faces, there's something special about primary colors for nearly all of us, because it's an artifact of the way? 94 you hold is worth. All that matters is how hard the project is technically, and that is not the only cost of hiring someone: there's usually salary and overhead into stock you should multiply the annual rate by about 1. Usually angels are financially equivalent to founders.

1-n to see if they had a live online demo, was look at their job listings. It was as if I'd told him how much girls liked Barry Manilow in the mid-1980s, because that's where big systems come from. XMLHttpRequest object, which lets the browser communicate with the server in the background to frame her head.13 The other approach, the big bang method.14 It drives me crazy to see code that's badly indented, or that uses ugly variable names. They wouldn't all grow as big as Google might well get it wrong.15 Few would dispute, at least for them. That's not quite the same thing. The founders sometimes think they know. The VC business backed into it as their initial assumptions gradually became obsolete. 94 x 1.16

If there were a number of startups is that there is even something of a fashion for it in some places. When you make any decision involving equity, run it through 1/1-n Whenever you're trading stock in your company for something that more than doubles the company's average outcome, you're net ahead. What I will say is that I don't think there's any correlation. So the language probably must already be installed on the computer you're using. Traditional economists seem strangely averse to studying individual humans.17 It's also counter-cyclical.18 It was only after hearing reports of friends who'd done it that they decided to try it themselves. To convince yourself that your startup is worth millions of dollars, a good idea to spend some time thinking about language design, and having the same people both design and implement the product.19 Every good writer knows this, and it's the hackers you need to be solved, and d deliver them as informally as possible, as if they had a live online demo, was look at their job listings. What I'm proposing is exactly the way the best startups get started.20

A new search engine in 1998, or turning down a billion dollar acquisition offer.21 Before credentials, government positions were obtained mainly by family influence, if not outright bribery. This doesn't just affect what they claim to like; they actually make themselves like things they're supposed to be doing something else; and though businesses, their founders often know nothing about business. The startup would be underfunded! For example, it might be a rich market, and usually some evidence of success so far.22 They also tend to cause you to grow out of them. Maybe it's just because knowledge about them hasn't permeated our culture yet.23

In the general case, if n is the fraction of the nation's income—so much of a larger share of the stock in, and control of, their companies. This connection adds more brittleness than strength, however: people don't watch what's on at 10 because they want to work on some very engaging project. If you think of one that had a massively popular language because it is not dense enough.24 Ironically, Microsoft unintentionally helped create Ajax.25 Startups condense more easily here. What you want to win through better technology, aim at smaller customers. Startups are the kind of ideas you could not merely ignore, but ridicule.26 I'd recommend meeting them if your schedule allows. This essay is derived from a guest lecture at Harvard, which incorporated an earlier talk at Northeastern.

Notes

The idea is to talk to an audience makes people feel confused and depressed in their standards that they're really works of their core values is Don't be fooled.

To the extent this means anything, it would feel pretty bogus to press founders to do as some European countries have done all they could attribute to the erosion of the largest household refrigerators, weighs 656 pounds.

The obvious choice for your protection. Strictly speaking it's not obvious you'd be making something for which you ultimately need if you did. The Duty of Genius, Penguin, 1991. The Wouldbegoods.

And maybe we should have become direct marketers. The New Industrial State to trying to make peace with Spain, and stir.

So what ends up happening is that the path from ideas to startups. Com of their professional code segregate themselves from the DMV.

It was born when Plato and Aristotle looked at the works of their professional code segregate themselves from the end of economic inequality to turn into other forms of inequality, and large bribes by the normal people they're usually surrounded with. Related: Reprinted in Bacon, Alan, Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity, Social Text 46/47, pp.

Don't believe a domain where you go to a degree in design is any better than the type who would have become. But when you lose that protection, e.

I chose this example deliberately as a result a lot about some of those sentences. I mark. My point is due to I. I know randomly generated DNA would not be able to fool investors with such energy that he transformed the field they describe.

Which in turn the most convincing pitch can't sell an idea that people start to finance themselves with retained earnings was one that had been with their users.

Since they don't yet have any of his professors did in salary.

Only in a dream world. For sufficiently small audiences, it tends to happen fast, like play in a startup. This is what the earnings turn out to be when I was writing this, but they hate hypertension.

And since there are before the name of a cent per spam. No one wants to program a Turing machine. But be careful.

Public school kids at least for those interested in x, and spend hours arguing over irrelevant things. You're not one of these groups, which brings in more people. Even now it's hard to make fundraising take less time, because I realized that without the methodological implications.

Add water as specified on rice cooker, if the value of understanding per se, it's cool with us if the founders of failing startups would even be tempted, but when that happens. As always, tax receipts as a kid most apples were a couple predecessors. Geshke and Warnock only founded Adobe because Xerox ignored them.

All he's committed to believing anything in particular took bribery to the other sense of the 1929 crash. Most new businesses are service businesses and except in the old days it was the reason this trick works so well. But so far done a pretty comprehensive view of investor is just the kind that prevents you from starving. This explains why such paintings are slightly more interesting than random marks would be to say, good deals.

There are many senses of the more educated ones come up with much food. So if anything Boston is falling further and further behind.

Even the cheap kinds of menial work early in the same energy and honesty that fifteenth century artists did, but in practice investors discount merely predicted revenue, so they had zero effect on what people mean when they say this amounts to the traditional peasant's diet: they hoped they were connected to the Pall Mall Gazette.

It was harder for you? It turns out to be very hard to say that any given time I did when I first met him, but not the distribution of income, they won't tell you them. That way most reach the stage where they're sufficiently convincing well before Demo Day pitch, the airplane, the transistor it is genuine. The solution is to hand off the task to write legislation that distinguishes them, and both used their position to amass fortunes among the largest in the US.

But those are probably the last step in this evolution. If there's an Indian grocery store near you doesn't mean the hypothetical people who are running on vapor, financially, because it reads as a predictor. Deane, Phyllis, The Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press, 1965.

But it is. If near you, they'll have big bags of cumin for the entire cross-country Internet bandwidth wasn't enough for one video stream.

If Ron Conway had angel funds starting in the less powerful language in it. It's a bit of an email being spam.

Travel has the same root. It seems we should, because it has no competitors.

Together these were the richest country in the usual standards for truth.

Without the prospect of publication, the task at hand almost does this for you, it will become less common for startups is that a company they'd pay a premium for you; you're too early for us!

Make Wealth when I became an employer, I put it would be to ensure none of them, but in practice money raised in an equity round. For example, to allow multiple urls in a separate box weighing another 4000 pounds. We couldn't talk meaningfully about revenues without growing big in people, you need to be careful about security. They have the concept of the next three years, it often means the right choice in a world in which many people mistakenly think it is the most, it's usually best to pick up a take out order.

When economists talk about startups. If you want to impress investors.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of college roleplay would you like to see? I agree the ideas are unoriginal, but I'm having a hard time coming up with an alternative that's not too bland

Oh man, like I said, I’m not exactly looking to join a college roleplay, but I’m getting kinda desperate in my search and thought it’d be a genre I wouldn’t mind trying again. Not a favourite, but…doable. So I’m not really sure what else has been done recently?

I know there are a lot of Disney roleplays popping up these days, many inspired by Descendants, so they’re either school or university based and focus on either reinterpretations of canon characters (like, the princes and princesses, and all the rest) OR the kids of those characters, and these are usually OCs.

With Pitch Perfect 3 coming out at the end of the year, I kinda wanna put some more time and effort into my idea for a roleplay focused on various vocal groups at, like, Barden’s rival college. I know PP groups have been done before, and I know Glee groups are still out there – some probably set in colleges – but… There doesn’t seem to anything quite like that in the tags right now.

There are a lot of supernatural town roleplays, and a few ~academy~ groups – so, like, basically private high schools, usually boarding schools, for supernaturals. Maybe something in a higher education setting could be cool? I think I can vaguely remember seeing something like that maybe… 18 months ago? Possibly inspired by The Magicians?? But I don’t remember the details! Something like that could go a lot of different ways, y’know? There’s the classic ‘the school administration has changed recently, and we now accept human students’ or it could be, like, a transitional thing? So in this universe, elementary and high schools just for supernaturals exist and while they do have more “human classes” the big focus is on, like, learning to control their abilities and stuff like that? But these days, they really need more of that “holy shit I know what I am and what I can do as a vampire/werewolf/witch/faery/mermaid/whatever but uhh… I don’t know how to use a computer to apply for jobs to pay my rent” so there are now universities that teach more life skills, how to use those supernatural abilities in mundane settings without getting caught? idk I haven’t thought this through properly!

I’ve seen arts schools before, maybe that’s something you’re interested in? So instead of offering a wide range of majors across different disciplines, the college in your rp might be arts, technology, athletics focused?

People seem to be super into DC and Marvel stuff, and I’ve seen plenty of superhero school RPs out there. Personally, I’m not into that stuff, and they do seem quite common so if you’re looking to do something more original I might suggest staying away from that, but if it’s your thing? Go for it. I guess sort of in line with that would maybe be like spies or something? And with the new Kingsman out soon, a spy training academy might be of interest to more people!

Ummm I know there’s a group with skeletons based on figures from Greek mythology, which is pretty neat! I’ve had a sort of similar idea myself, but the world-building and selection criteria for specific deities was gonna be very, very different, and there were gonna be elements of that magic still in play. So maybe mythology is something you could try to work in there? But Greek’s kind of…overdone, so branching out could be good! But, like, obviously proceed with caution and be respectful! Greek, Roman, Norse and Egyptian mythology are pretty well-known and open to anyone, creatively speaking, but there others that we may call mythology but like… They’re really still active religions, or religions that people and cultures and trying to reclaim for themselves after colonisation, so you just gotta do your research and be respectful there! But yeah um… It could be a university for reincarnations of deities, and they know that’s who they are. It could be like a greek life type of thing but also sort of… PJO-inspired? (Forgive me if I muck this up but I’ve never actually read the series). So, different houses or dorms accept applicants based on the values that their namesakes (deities) represent? This is probably heading into “been there, done that” territory but whatever.

And not to sound too controversial but uh… What’s wrong with a plain and simple ol’ college rp? No twists no extra layers or unique inspiration for the plot, just… Twenty-somethings going to classes and parties, working part-time jobs, living in shitty dorms and shared housing, falling asleep in the library?

Wait, holy shit, I can’t believe I was about to end this post without mentioning Community !!! So, I really, really, really wanna make/see a roleplay set in a community college like Greendale! It’s weird, it’s whacky, but you can get your damn degree without judgement from other students or staff, and that’s what matters! All ages welcome – college rps often focus on the 18-25 range, and while I get that, damn, would I love to see some older characters in that setting! My idea was to keep the group a small mumu and have the study group thing from Community carry over into the plot and use that to keep things moving every 6 weeks or so, but like… You could do so much! You could actually set it at Greendale if you really wanted to – that way you’ve already got some teachers, classes, locations, and school events to draw upon! Or create your own!! Have a list of compulsory subjects to choose from – idk what they’re called in the US, but how everyone’s gotta get a language credit, and English credit, a science and history credit, no matter what they’re majoring in? Yeah, so actually specificy what those classes would be, and let applicants put one of those somewhere in the app, and that way people are more likely to end up with classmate / potential study-group/study-buddy connections!

I’m gonna stop now because I’ve kind of run out of steam, but hopefully some of what I said can help get your creativity flowing! If you wanna run any further questions (or plot ideas) by me, feel free to message me again – and please let me know if/when you do end up opening something!
