Every time I have negotiated hard regarding a situation like this, I have regretted it.

The reason is that in this moment, you feel the work you've done must be worth a lot, because it is fresh in your mind, and because cognitive dissonance dictates you believe you haven't wasted all those hours of coding.

Meanwhile you are still imagining the big payoff from the company succeeding ... which is a great motivator when you're working on the startup, but when you are parting ways, you should remember being super successful is incredibly rare. You would benefit from bringing rationality in and remembering it was all always a long shot.

So you will tend to overvalue the company, based on the work you've done, while undervaluing the personal relationships and lessons learned.

Take a long view. Do whatever deal will make your cofounder happy. Be nice in every way to every one involved, make good on any promises, and give it time.

When you look back on this a year from now you will be glad you did.

But some people don't care about their privacy any longer, because, well we probably have none at this point anyway.

So in for a penny, in for a pound.

Edit:

Consider putting something about privacy right at the top of the page, if such a feature exists. e.g all bookmarks are encrypted, and only the user has the key, or whatever.
What would be the point of this? (Also, do you have a source?)
It is, in fact, disputed by Japan (which refers to the island as Takeshima):

But it is not so actively disputed by Japan. Meanwhile, South Korea flies a large flag there, and the two permanent residents can choose between cellular telephone service providers, as more than one company has built towers there.

Imagine hypothetically today you are researching a router. You would look up youtube video reviews, look it up in amazon may be craigslist, checkout consumer reports etc. The next day if want those links you will either comb your browser history or go those sites you visited again. But with fetch all you have to do is type the name of the router and it will show the links in descending order of time you have spent on various websites associated with the router :) Imagine the time saved :D

Spotify has a great brand, but that doesn't solve the underlying poor economics of their model. With Apple and Google moving in, I'm not sure their brand is a long term advantage at this point. I just started trialing Youtube Music - $9.99 a month (US only at the moment) with free Google Play Music. And it's pretty good. And I'm pretty sure Youtube is a bigger brand than Spotify.

Neither Google or Apple has to make money from their service - whereas Spotify must make money. It makes me wonder why Spotify hasn't just gone after artists directly, because that's the only way I see them making money long term.

One reason for having an orange one is it's easier to spot when it's time to unplug.
Yes, I'm aware of the Ubuntu/ownCloud repository mess, as I was also affected myself. I'm not too worried though -- it's a personal virtual server with a custom ownCloud endpoint, and the password file is encrypted anyway.

These are always a bit of a balancing act on what's good use of third-party services and what's worth handling yourself. Services hopefully have a competent team behind it monitoring it (not guaranteed though!), but at the same time provide a much more lucrative attack target. And in my case at least, in a completely different jurisdiction. Monthly feels, service continuity, learning aspect... There are lots of different points influencing the choices.
Alternatively, I used Rdio first and tried out Spotify when they released the Playstation4 integration and my reaction was "Oh, ok, it's basically Rdio but with a lousy interface. I'll keep using Rdio then".
Not so much sarcasm, as cynicism... I mean it, if the current employer-employee dynamic persists, either you need women to sacrifice their career, or pay someone to bear your children. Which you then have no time to raise, so you pay someone to do it for you. You can find a certain parallel with characters in novels who are children of rich people who are never home and thus the child is raised by the wet nurse/maid/etc. If you do the same at scale, it should be cost-effective and probably the only option.

Fortunately, I'm pretty sure we'll run out of resources long before our greed for growth pushes us that far.

Edit: of course companies are emotionless. They aren't people. You should view any company of more than about 200 people as a super-organism. Every actor in the company acts in their own best interest, while kept in check by the people on top. The emergent behaviour is one of calculated exploitation.
Hey guys, I made this because of my personal need for consuming HN on the go. The current mobile friendly implementations of HN are very text heavy and I wanted something visual where I can scan stories and see if they are interesting.

HackerMint shows stories with >10 points and extracts relevant image or takes a screenshot, along with first 160 characters on the page. This allows for facebook feed style scrolling of HN stories on the go.

Hacker Mint is updated every 30 minutes with fresh stories.

OOP should be thought of as a way to structure your code, not as a way to model the problem domain. When used properly, it can give pretty good results, yet introductions to OO usually start with objects/classes representing real-world entities.
One of the most important issues raised by this article is that of enforcement. That the US Government is employed to enforce DRM is non trivial. Imagine you left a magnificent gold brick on your porch on the way out to work. You reason, it'd be illegal for anyone to move or take the brick without your permission, let alone enter your yard. You come home to find the brick gone and hold the US Government responsible. You tell the the Gov't, "When you leave a brick on your porch tomorrow, it better be there when you return home, or else (no campaign funds and you'll move you're $27 bank account off shore )."

The next day, there is a squad car and 4 cops sitting outside your gate. Not only that, the Gov't ensures you laws are being drafted to stiffen the penalty for anyone that might steal your brick or even enter your yard without permission, and Gov't prosecutors are standing by ready to prosecute with the threat of jail time (, but don't worry they'll pick up the legal and prison fees).

Without such Gov't activities you wouldn't be able to afford to continue leaving gold bricks on your porch.

Immediate thoughts:

Why would I learn to use yet another tool? You already use it, you already know how to use it, but I would have to invest effort in learning its quirks.

Seems only to be focused on London, UK. Is this right? Didn't work on three of the other major UK cities I tried, which makes it useless for me.

How would I find out about it? What does it offer that I can't get from Google or FourSquare?

Why should I invest the time and effort, with the risk that in a week or two it will disappear?
>and recoup their investments and so on. Guess what - the investment was already made, and it can't be undone!

You've got the sequence of motivations and expectations of investments & revenue backwards.

A more accurate timeline is that before the product is built, the businesses will segment the potential markets. They estimate the various price curves of price-sensitive and price-insensitive customers and then use that to determine how much to allocate to each feature. Some features are valuable to price-insensitive customers. Some features are useful to all customers.

To say the above was "investment already made" is flawed because that perspective depends on reversing the timeline around in a way that businesses don't actually think. Instead of "sunk cost", it's actually a "before-we-build-it calculated investment" based on "future revenue projections".

Likewise, when a pre-med student considers going to medical school, he may envision a future where he provides medical care for free in Africa and at the same time earn a $200k+ salary as a hospital surgeon. Those future market segments affects his current decision to spend (go into debt) $150k+ for his medical degree. When the doctor is 40-something, we, as patients can't say that he should give us medical care for minimum wage because we morally deserve his services and his medical school tuition 10 years ago is a "sunk cost" anyway.

As for how a business delivers that segmentation of product to a customer, that is a separate issue. Some methods are perceived as more distasteful than others. The tig welder with a software config switch causes more outrage than a different physical chassis.

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen.
Not to be overly critical, but it sounds like you are asking us to just trust you with no proof of your claims.

How do we know that you in fact have properly randomized the hashes, really aren't using the data, and most importantly, how do we know you really are clearing the data from your servers when we ask you to? Are you going to make the source code available?

If its running on your servers, you have to plan to monetize right? How do you plan on doing that?

Edit: I should note it looks quite cool, and I am probably going to try it, but was wondering about the above points.

One additional question. Is it possible to ban specific sites from showing up? Like work related intranet things?

I disagree. If it's the kernel who's interupting threads, it's not user-space threading. The scheduler just decides which thread gets run next, but the kernel decides when it gets run.
> the reason why Go can even be cross compiled in the first place is because it has platform specific C and assembly code

It does not have platform-specific C code, as there is no more C code anymore. It sure does have platform-specific Go code and platform-specific assembly code though.

> from cgo's runtime so it can support the different architectures/platforms.

There is platform-specific code in the runtime, and there is platform-specific code elsewhere in the standard library, e.g. in the syscall package, but it's not from "cgo's runtime" (whatever that means). Go does not require cgo to interact with the target system, even on platforms where the interaction is done through shared libraries, not system calls, like Solaris and Windows.

I don't know, how much is the security bug bounty on LastPass? $1000 according to Bugcrowd [1]. But what would be the right value?

That's the only way we ensure it's economically more viable for hackers to resell their security leaks to LastPass than to pirates. An economic approach would claim that the total available bug bounty scheme must be worth the same as the potential stolen value of the contents, otherwise it's still valuable to exploit the leak rather than publish them. The only savings that LastPass can make is over the gap between insured value and their ability to not have leaks.

The difference is that one camp has the math solidly on its side, and the other camp has to invoke the extra-physical hypothesis that measurement is somehow different (non-unitary, non-reversible) from everything else.

> Some bits are still written in assembly but that's mainly for performance.

Many bits in math and crypto have fast assembly variants, but the assembly code in the runtime and sync packages is not for performance, but because assembly is the only way to put data in the right registers, issue memory barriers, implement the right atomic operations and so on. Not performance.

> I believe this interpretation fails to explain experiments where people have entangled particles with timelike separation [1]

I don't have time to read that paper right now, but it sounds like simple entanglement transfer, not unlike what is done for "quantum teleportation." In any case, the math behind QIT is simply the math of QM, so anything that QM can explain, QIT can explain.

[UPDATE:] There was a published version of the C&A paper but I can't look it up right now (I'm on the road with very limited internet connectivity). But it turns out that the C&A position is essentially the same as decoherence/many-worlds. There is essentially no dispute over the facts any more. The problem is with the rhetoric in which those facts are wrapped. Even "many-worlds" is highly misleading.

The problem is that you don't have control over password requirements, so you'll rapidly accumulate exceptions. What if they require (or assign) a PIN? Security questions? What if they assign a number as your login? Require a special character? Forbid special characters? Require >6 chars? Forbid >6 chars? Forbid your password from matching previous passwords? What if they don't show you the domain? What if the domain changes during login (see: Cambridge Savings Bank)? What if the domain changes over time? What if the company name changes? What if they lock you out after 3 attempts and you burn up all three trying to remember the variation you were forced to use?

I tried the combination scheme for a bit over a year. I was in denial about how poorly it was working until I started getting politely teased by casual acquaintances about being the guy who could never remember his passwords. There are accounts I'm still permanently locked out of. It was bad.

By comparison, LastPass has been great. More secure passwords, less forgetting them. Eventually I want to move to a password archive that's physically separate from the computer, but for now I'm happy with no longer dreading login screens.

Is this a proof?

Western philosophy, so far, succeed in separating these concepts as being a priory which is perfectly reasonable, considering that any sensory input which is subsequently used to train and condition our mind is coming serialized by out sense organ, so, for a mind, which is a result of conditioning by the senses, the notion of succession is a priory. Conditioning by shared physical environment gives us cycles, so the notion of a cycle is also a priory. Succession days into nights in the environment and ageing of other people's bodies gives us notion of a continuous change. But change is not time.

Eastern philosophy (and modern cognitive neuroscience) would suggest that this a priory is related to our minds, not to photons or forces. So?

Hi Colin - I have read the comments on that link several times, and they were very helpful. I have tried to incorporate them.
I feel like I'm being unnecessarily harsh. I'm on a desktop, the design seems clear and clean. When I ask for an area I get a tiny cluster of flags that I then need to zoom in on, but I guess that would be easier on a mobile, just pinch/zoom. If I hover over a flag I get the details, but when I move to click on one of the links, they disappear, so I can't actually access the details. I can't phone to make a reservation, or check on the Google search results.

Those are my immediate usability comments.

Edit: These are of necessity "drive-by comments," neither crafted nor gestated. I'm in the middle of other stuff, and had some immediate thoughts. Take them as intended to be overall helpful. And now I need to go.
