What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

The current kernel/drivers of Fedora 24 do not support the Wifi chip used on my Mac Book Pro. Proprietary Broadcom drivers are packaged and available in the rpmfusion repo.

Verify that your card is a Broadcom using: lspci -vnn -d 14e4:

Sample output:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

Install the rpmfusion repo, note only "nonfree" is required, as the Broadcom Driver is proprietry: http://rpmfusion.org/

Installing Fedora 23 on Macbook Pro Retina 2016, and attaching Airport Extreme

Installing Fedora on Macbook Pro retina

  1. Download Fedora 23 iso, create a usb bootable media Follow instructions here Basically,
  2. use diskutil list to figure out which drive is the usb, on macbook pro with 1 hardrive, the usb is /dev/disk2
  3. umount the disk using diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 or use Mac's Disk Utility (just umount, don't eject, umount removes it from directory structure and eject disconncet it altogether)
  4. use dd(a low level cp) to write iso content into the usb drive, sudo dd if=~/Downloads/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m, this will take a bit of time, make sure you wait until it's done, additionally compare the size or checksum to make sure all has been copied (not that necessary since if it weren't copied, it'll err at boot time)
  5. use Disk Utility to shrink Mac's harddrive
