Quickly. Obviously don't initiate the conversation right after an argument, but do not drag this out. Realistically, the value of the company is very low, so you're not fighting over a huge amount. Moving on with your life is much more important.

It's almost impossible for any of us to give concrete advice on the specific terms of the breakup just based on only a one paragraph description. However, as an angel investor, I will caution against an equity split in which only one of you continues with the startup. A cap table with a departed founder holding a significant stake is a yellow flag. Even holding constant the terms that I, as an investor, will invest at, I want all of the remaining equity to be "working" (i.e., providing incentive to the current team, or in an option pool to attract talent). Of course, sometimes an equity split is the best choice, but, if it's a close call, I'd lean towards another approach. In your case, if the brand can be easily separated from the assets (likely, since you are early), a split based on your third options sounds appealing (though, again, I am in no position to recommend anything, just to throw some points out there).

A tool is a way to solve a pre-existing problem that is outside the tool itself. Something which creates its own problems for you to solve is not a tool, but a toy.

Whether a tool needs learning beforehand or not determines how likely you are to try the tool in the first place (by estimating whether the expected result justifies the effort), and how likely you are to actually be able to use the tool to solve that problem successfully.

It helps to determine what the real goal is in this case. It is not really "allow me to browse through lots of headlines at maximum efficiency", but something more like "entertain me and let me keep in touch with people".

Before you're a real company?
I highly recommend a four year vesting period for any startup ownership, as described by Fred Wilson here:

http://avc.com/2010/11/employee-equity-vesting/

Everytime I've seen a company do something else, somebody leaves early on with too much stock. Then on the next round it has to be negotiated down anyway. The amount always ends up similar to what a 4 year vest would have been!

So if you've done one full year of work, and so has she... And you each "own" half, that means you would keep a quarter of your half that has vested if you walk away. i.e. 12.5%

Hmm, that still sounds like quite a lot to be honest, but it really depends on how much you've actually both built. Maybe you haven't done a year of full time startup work.

My view is, BTW, not from Silicon Valley, but UK companies.
That part struck me as well, but I guess hindsight is 20/20 and they learned their lesson.

When I did my very first project when I was 18 I spent money on a lawyer and incorporation before we made any sales, of course the project tanked after we made a couple of hundred in revenue and then split ways.
As many before me said, walk away. In most cases situations like these end up costing your more money than you gain from it.

If your company isn't worth a lot of money, "walking away" is the best option in my opinion. Oh and a brand that doesn't make any money, is worthless.

"If I met an undergrad who knew all about convertible notes and employee agreements and (God forbid) class FF stock, I wouldn't think "here is someone who is way ahead of their peers." It would set off alarms. Because another of the characteristic mistakes of young founders is to go through the motions of starting a startup. They make up some plausible-sounding idea, raise money at a good valuation, rent a cool office, hire a bunch of people. From the outside that seems like what startups do. But the next step after rent a cool office and hire a bunch of people is: gradually realize how completely fucked they are, because while imitating all the outward forms of a startup they have neglected the one thing that's actually essential: making something people want.

We saw this happen so often that we made up a name for it: playing house. Eventually I realized why it was happening. The reason young founders go through the motions of starting a startup is because that's what they've been trained to do for their whole lives up to that point. Think about what you have to do to get into college, for example. Extracurricular activities, check. Even in college classes most of the work is as artificial as running laps."

This 100x. Anyone who has tried to solve real world problems finds out a very small amount of code written fits the model where a class corresponds to a family of physical objects, and probably much less even fits the model of polymorphism.

95% of classes end up just being fairly random containers for data and behaviour and OO just does not offer anything of value.

Initially, I tried this setup..

disk [usb]-> router <-[wifi]-> raspB+ <- tv

but it wasn't good for streaming videos over the network. The router was the problem.

so when we upgraded to rasp2, I tried this setup..

disk [usb]-> raspB+ <-[eth]-> router <-[wifi]-> rasp2

..and it's been working like that, flawless, for almost a year so far.

The raspB+ shares the media collection over upnp, so we can consume it from pretty much everywhere on the house, and the rasp2 consumes using upnp so when can control it remotely.

Infamous Software Bugs
Cops are as susceptible to rationalization as anyone else. If they improperly collect evidence but are not punished directly for it, they will not view it as their error: they will view it as "the system" has failed to follow through on their hard work. This might then lead to more cops taking matters in their own hands rather than handing the suspect over to the prosecution.

It's no different than categorically stating that something is safe, simply because evidence of harm is yet to be found. See thalidomide, tobacco, DDT, and a host of others.

So, to the extent that both sides are being "unreasonable" in demanding proof, the difference is that we are moving forward with one side's thesis. In doing so, we are exposing people en masse to the risk of their being wrong.
It is definitely problematic, and I don't feel great about it. I recognize the need to compensate the creators of the content we consume. But the industry needs to move on from the surveillance business model before it rots away under them.

Nonsense. Show me the contract I signed that created that situation. (difficulty: a post-purchase EULA or inside-the-shrinkwrap document is not a contract)

I can't copy Windows because of copyright law. If I buy a book I own that copy. I cannot copy it, but I can do what I want with that copy, because the author's rights end at the first sale[1].

Now this does get complicated when you bring in the DMCA's anti-circumvention clause. This is a separate problem that restricts the use of purchased goods.

There is a recent attempt to use the copyright on the firmware in in a product as leverage to extend these anti-circumvention restrictions to the entire product (see: John Deere[2]). As this drama is ongoing, we will have to wait to see how it is handled, but I would bet that the first sale doctrine is upheld; not because I think that outcome is likely, but because the alternative is de facto the end of personal property rights, which will not be a stable society.

Hi Jemaclus,

I have a child with hearing loss. Mind if I ask you a question? How have you found your partners reactions on dates regarding your hearing loss?

I'm assuming you don't wear hearing aids, as per your uncertainty of whether to bring up on the first date. So when your date does find out about your hearing loss, does it generally have an observable impact on either the date or the prospect of future relationship?

And maybe a harder question to answer : do you think the wearing of hearing aids has more of an impact in prospective dates? Logically, having hearing aids to correct hearing shouldn't be viewed much differently from wearing glasses to correct vision, but curious of your experiences.

Thanks.

> I compare the two because if you're looking hard enough in both texts you'll find justification for evil.

Wrong again. You're not actually comparing. Go to the sources. It's not about "looking hard" it is on almost every page of Quran. Please try the reading sample, Sura 9:

http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/pick/009.htm

All those are considered to be the direct words of god by Muslims. As long as they declare them so, the problems will remain. But suggesting them not to declare that is probably worse than suggesting to the Catholics to give up having the Pope. They surely need some kind of reformation. Unfortunately, "back to the original texts" can't be the basis of reformation as they are really filled with violence and intolerance. The only reformation that isn't disastrous for humanity can only be "don't take these original texts too seriously." Other Abrahamic religions managed to move in that direction, for Islam it's going to be much harder.

What I don't understand is that effectively not a single person of those who claim that there is equivalence in the holy texts of different religions try to read them themselves, because once they'd read they would not be able to even say such sentences like "if looking hard enough."
I remember watching this lecture by PG in Sam's course. I thought PG was being too kind to them, because I think a major part of why young founders 'go through the motions' without tackling the real work head-on is because they are deeply motivated by the alleged social cachet of being a young startup founder, plus the fact they typically come from upper middle class backgrounds where it's expected they do something 'prestigious'. In other words, the worst reasons.

I would expect Dropbox to be rather safe (please use two-factor auth), though I did migrate to self-hosted ownCloud myself. Anyway, this is not even a crucial part, since the password file is obviously encrypted with a strong password. The unencrypted data never touches the disk.

Also, for the database file encryption I'm using AES256 with 10 million encryption rounds (configurable in the application), which hopefully slows down any brute force attempts even in case of a data breach.

Of course, all bets are off if your device itself is compromised, but that would be the case with any solution.

> Muslims are overwhelmingly the victims of fundamentalist attacks

The Muslims from the another "sects" are also considered "unbelievers" by the fundamentalists (unless they join them), so it perfectly fits their ideology to do to them "what Mohammad did."

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

"All Males who reached puberty and 1 woman beheaded"

Directly from the holy texts:

"No woman of Banu Qurayza was killed except one. She was with me, talking and laughing on her back and belly (extremely), while the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) was killing her people with the swords."

(The "Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him)" is how Muhammad is referred to in the texts. Whenever we write just "Muhammad" it already sounds "improper" to his believers.)

The fundamentalists know the content of the holy books of Islam.

That's an unfriendly interpretation, but a totally valid interpretation nevertheless.

I think this happens to most people in most situations. We go into things with all sorts of expectations, and then find out that our expectations were inconsistent with reality.
