That sounds interesting! Tell me more about how much time and involvement you have with your startup, please. Hours per week? Other employees? Free time? How long have you had the startup for, before starting work?

I would disclose it. Disclosing it is the right thing to do and would give me a stronger position when negotiating, along the lines of: "If the offer isn't compelling enough, I'll just walk over to this thing that I have going on here..."

Ideally, I would be able to plan ahead for time off and stick with (pre)allocated (un)paid amounts, all within reason. Especially if I actually have employees who can communicate with clients, attend meetings etc.

Probably a bad translation on my part from my native language. I meant radix economy, which is ideal with radix e.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_economy

"e has the lowest radix economy

...

A base with a lower average radix economy is therefore, in some senses, more efficient than a base with a higher average radix economy."

Maybe a coincidence (I don't know details of computer history), but another interesting reason why binary is used might be information density.

Base e (2.71...) has highest information density. Of course, computers can't use irrational numbers as their base, so base 3 would be a closest pick. However, base 3 is much harder to represent in digital logic, so base 2 is a better pick and is still relatively close to e.

EDIT: Finally found a reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_representation#Bas...

I wonder if the idea originated before Hayes described it in 2001. Now it looks more likely to be a coincidence :)
