What did he get out of it? If he got nothing, then the contract is typically invalid. You can't give something of value without getting something in return (the consideration)(I'm not a lawyer)

Actually, yes, that's one of the things I'm teaching my first one. I'm also teaching logical fallacies, how to think about thinking among other thinking skills.

Obvious ones include financial, survival, social.

ASK:HN- What should I teach my kids

from the self-post dept.

I'm looking for discrete skills and facts that can help them get ahead, while making it age appropriate. Let's say that I'm starting at three and then working up.Plan is to use a Spaced Repetition System where possible and then hands on activities for reinforcement.

You have a skill that is rare. Since supply is low, and demand is frequently high, price yourself accordingly.

Re:Ask HN: How to fire your co-founder? on Thursday December 26, 2013 @02:52PM (#6967705)

The best way to do it, is to not have to. The second best way, is to fail fast. I waited too long in my last startup and wasted too much time waiting for someone to carry their weight. It never gets better.

I recommend reading "The Founder's Dilemma's" to cover the other things you'll need to consider later as well prevent other, BIGGER, issues.
